Chapter 2489
It was a pleasant surprise to learn that Lillian was a fan of his. As they spoke, the two entered the
trading center's hall. People were speaking with the staff as far as the eye could see. Most of them
were fairly powerful cultivators, in general. The trading center featured a big lobby and VIP areas,
cafes, and lounges with luxurious interiors, making it the most magnificent structure in
Black Water Town.
Many people looked over as soon as Darryl and Lillian walked in, mainly because Darryl's appearance
piqued their interest. Soon, the crowd began to gossip.
''Where did that caveman come from?''
''I'm guessing from some deserted mountain or something, how hideous.''

Lillian's face reddened in enibarrassment at the discussion. She had told him not to follow her. He would not
listen and insist on clinging to her shamelessly, and she had been dragged into the center of attention because of
him. Darryl, on the other hand, did not seem to care.
One of the staff walked toward Lillian with a professional smile before she asked, ''Madame, is there anything I
can help you with?'' She cast a look of disdain at Darryl as she spoke. The lady could not be older than 25 years
old and dressed in professional black attire. Her lovely features were a refreshing sight.
'I did not think there would be such a cutie in that trading center. Though she seems a bit too lllaterialistic
for lllY liking,' Darryl thought as he remained silent with a srnile.
Lillian retrieved the inner cores from her possessions and handed them to the lady. ''If it's not too much
trouble, I would like to trade these, please,'' she said.
''Of course.'' The lady nodded respectfully in response.
Darryl was about to retrieve the inner cores from the enchanted beast pouch to see how much he could trade with
thern when he realized that the lady had left to fulfill Lillian's request without sparing hiITI another look.
Just then, a well-dressed young man approached with his eyes fixated on Lillian. ''My, my, my. If it's
notMs. Willis. It has been a while,'' he said with a smile.
The young man looked around 20 years old and was fallowed by two bodyguards. The way he
scanned Lillian up and down as he spoke made it evident that he was one of those rich playboys. He
was Adenoid Collins, the young inaster of a cultivator bloodline that originated from the Yellow Stone
Continent. His fainily had also extended their business to Black Water Town over the years as inore
people passed the town into the Wild Deserted Secret Region.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm''Young Master Collins!'' Lillian was visibly anxious about his presence. She bit her lips and whispered,
''I will be able to pay you back soon. Please allow rne more time, will you?'' She spoke softly, afraid
that others would overhear her.
A year ago, Lillian's father fell ill, and they were in desperate need of money. So she went to one
of the financial companies that Adenoid was managing and got an enormous loan. Sadly, even
with sufficient funds to seek rnedical help, her father did not make it. Lillian had set off to the Wild
Deserted Secret Region with the Blood Thorn Mercenary Team to repay her debt. If she had a
choice, she would not have entered such a dangerous environment.
Adenoid kept his smile without responding while his eyes still wandered toward Lillian. It was at that
moment that the staff came back with the money. Lillian took it and handed it to Adenoid hastily.
''Young Master Collins, this is all the money I have managed to earn in the past few days. Please
accept this for now. I will pay the rernaining balance as soon as possible.''
