Female NovelChapter 486 This Kid is Out of Luck
"Master, your unworthy disciple Altha has brought his granddaughter to visit you!"
As soon as Altha saw Darius in the first floor of the small building, he knelt down with a thud.
Despite being well into his old age, there was still a hint of admiration on his face as he looked at Darius who appeared to be several years younger than him.
Penelope also knelt beside him and cried out crisply, "Penelope greets Grandmaster!"
Darius smiled and spoke affectionately, "Ah, it's Altha. Please get up."
"This is your granddaughter? She's quite a beauty," he chuckled.
"Please sit down."
Although Altha was only his named disciple, there was still some sense of mentorship between them after all these years.
It had been many years since they last met and seeing his former disciple come to visit him brought some surprise to Darius' face.
"Thank you Master!"
"Thank you Mr. Mccarthy..."
Altha and Penelope respectfully said before putting down their precious gifts and sitting next to Darius.
Next, the two former master and disciple began to reminisce, and Penelope occasionally chimed in with a few "Mhm" and "Ah" on the side. After chatting for a while, Penelope discreetly tapped her grandfather's foot.
Seeing this, Altha realized it was about time and suddenly dropped to the ground with a thud, a tinge of indignation appearing on his face.
Darius was taken aback by the scene and frowned, asking, "Altha, what are you doing now?"
Altha knocked his head on the ground three times towards Darius and choked out, "Master, besides coming to visit you this time, your unworthy disciple has some bad news to deliver. I hope you can bear it when you hear it..."
Upon hearing this, Darius's expression changed instantly. "Bad news?"
Altha nodded and sorrowfully said, "Master, Diego is dead! He was killed by someone!"
Darius's face froze, and he sighed, shaking his head. "Diego is dead? Ah... I had anticipated that he would meet such a fate someday."
After leaving the Nemesis Pavilion, Diego settled in Oswesh and often came to visit Darius over the years.
How could Darius not know what his disciple had been up to? Diego had established the Great Joy Corporation and acted recklessly and arrogantly outside.
Darius had hinted at him to be more discreet, but Diego only pretended to be obedient in front of Darius while doing as he pleased.
Darius, indifferent to external affairs, didn't bother to intervene and let Diego handle things on his own.
Unexpectedly, today Altha brought back news of Diego's death.
His youngest named disciple had indeed met an untimely demise.
"Master, you must avenge Diego and make the culprit pay the price..."
Hearing Darius' words, Altha's eyes flickered, and he cried out in grief and anger.
Penelope also knelt on the ground, pleading tearfully, "Mr. Mccarthy, you must avenge Mr. Ewing! Mr. Ewing's death was so tragic...."
Darius furrowed his brow and asked, "What exactly happened? Who killed Diego? Tell me the whole story..."
Regardless, Diego was his disciple.
With Altha's tearful plea, as his master, he couldn't just ignore it.
Altha said sorrowfully, "It was a young man named Lachlan Willis!"
He then proceeded to tell Darius the story, and Penelope timely "added" a few remarks, or rather, exaggerated the details.
In their version, Penelope kindly offered to give Lachlan and his daughter a ride, but he was unappreciative and got into an argument with her.
Landry, feeling indignant, stood up
for Penelope, leading to a conflict. As a result, Lachlan forced Diego to kneel and slapped himself, which prompted Diego to seek justice for his son and Penelope. Unfortunately, he ended up being killed by Lachlan.
They conveniently left out how Penelope had humiliated Lachlan and how Diego and his son had abused their power, intending to kill Lachlan and his daughter.
After listening, Darius's expression
fluctuated. He knew that the
situation was certainly not as simple as Altha and Penelope portrayed, but he had no interest in investigating who was right or wrong. The final truth was that his named disciple had died.
"So, you say the young man who killed Diego is named Lachlan?" Darius asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, his name is Lachlan!" Penelope quickly confirmed.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
"At the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, with a Jueham State accent? He looks..." Darius described the appearance of the young man who had previously visited the Nemesis Pavilion. After hearing this, both Altha and Penelope nodded in agreement.
"Master, have you seen Lachlan?" Altha asked.
Upon hearing the master's description of Lachlan's appearance and features, he was somewhat surprised.
"Hmm, what a coincidence! Lachlan
just arrived at the Nemesis Pavilion ahead of you, seeking an audience with my master. He wanted my
master to help him with et
So, the origin of the trouble between him and me is connected to this!" Darius' face revealed a hint of a cold,
amused smile.
No wonder, he had never met that young man before, yet there was a connection between them.
So, this kid had dared to kill his own disciple?
"What? That scumbag dares to come to your territory? You must seek justice for Mr. Ewing and help us!" Penelope exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with a pitiful plea.
Altha, showing a mix of grief and anger, turned to his master and said, "Master, since the one who killed Diego is here, you cannot let him go!"
Darius nodded, "Hmm! Since we've encountered him, let this kid have some bad luck. Killing my disciple, I naturally won't let him go." Although Darius wasn't an outright villain, he wasn't a saint either.
On the contrary, he, like his master Kyrie, had a wicked and sinister personality.
He had no interest in understanding the right or wrong of this matter; all he knew was that his disciple had been killed.
If he hadn't come across Lachlan, he might not have gone out of his way to hunt him down.
But since Lachlan had coincidentally arrived at the Nemesis Pavilion, this kid could only blame his own misfortune.
Although Lachlan had managed to meet his master, Darius didn't care much about it.
Lachlan had sought assistance from his master, but they had no personal connection.
With Darius' words, Altha and Penelope immediately showed excitement.
With Darius' statement, the two of them were reassured.
"Lachlan, you're done for this time!"
Penelope gritted her teeth and her eyes flashed with a vicious and triumphant look.
