Nobilis of War

Chapter 56 He Was Not Meek

Darren's figure gradually became clearer in the crowd.

All eyes were on him. The Chu Clan members were confused. Toby had shouted out to call forth "the

distinguished guest". Why was he going up there?

"Captain Toby, the distinguished guest you mentioned..." The Chief Elder sounded shocked.

"Yes, it is this young man. As long as we have him with us, these criminals cannot escape today." Toby

waved his hands wildly. His words revealed his loyal confidence in Darren.

"Captain Toby, I think you might be mistaken. Are you really referring to that boy who is going up the

stage?" another elder asked doubtfully.

"Ha-ha, I guess it's understandable that you find it unbelievable. After all, he is so young." Toby smiled

lightly, and then he briefly described Darren's actual strength, which made everyone even more

shocked.

"He saved you from a high-level diabolic beast? And killed it too!?"

Several elders looked incredulous, their disbelief soon turning into bitter smiles.

Darren had finally stepped onto the stage. Standing in front of the elders, he greeted them slightly and

said, "Nice to see you again, everyone."

"Darren..." The Chief Elder's voice trembled slightly, a glimmer of guilt flashing in his eyes. But he did

not, for the life of him, have any idea about what to say at this moment.

"Darren! You're really Darren!" Alison, who had been standing behind several hosts watching the

election, stood out and confirmed the suspicions she'd been having. She ecstatically said, "I thought

you looked very similar. It is really you, Darren!"

Darren nodded to Alison and said, "Miss Yun has a good memory. You still remember a loser like me."

Alison was stunned upon hearing Darren's words. Had she offended him in any way before? Made him

feel like she looked down on him?

Alison felt horrified at the possibility that she had offended him. She looked like she was about to cry.

"I'm sorry, Sir," she whispered. "I shouldn't have been so reckless."

Darren was speechless for a moment. He softly laughed. He didn't expect her to be so anxious about

their past encounters! "Miss Yun, take it easy. I'm just kidding," he said reassuringly.

Alison looked at Darren's relaxed expression, quite relieved. She nodded slightly and stepped back.

On the high platform in the crowd, the old man frowned when he saw Darren. Didn't he meet the boy in

the street yesterday? Did this boy have anything to do with the Chu Clan?

"Young man, I'm Xander Xue, the elder of the Valiance Sect. I'm here to seek justice for my disciple.

Please don't interfere!" Even though the elder was not really intimidated by Darren, he chose to reveal

why he was here in hopes that Darren would not intervene with the matter and cause him any more

trouble.

The Valiance Sect was a moderate sect in Doriath. The elder of the sect was an honorable position for

Xander.

"He's the elder of the Valiance Sect! The Chu Clan has really got into big trouble this time!"

"Does the young man really have the ability to compete with an elder?"

"I think Xander is only wary of Darren because he is a disciple of the Ilmen Sect. Xander doesn't know

that Darren's talent and strength have been ruined. That's why Xander is being so courteous!"

The whispers began to circulate, like a faint buzz in the air.

Darren took a glance at the crowd and his gaze fell on the girl who had beheaded several young

warriors of the Chu Clan.

He took a few steps forward and said, "Since Elder Xander said so, I won't do anything to you. I didn't

like these people you killed before. You can leave now."

Darren was telling the truth. Those so-called talented warriors who had all mistreated Darren had

behaved like arrogant little brats in Acqua City. They were completely responsible for their own deeds,

and there was no need to seek justice for them.

In this world, if you didn't have any skill, you deserved death. It was a fundamental and yet brutal truth. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Elder Xander thought for a moment. His disciple had killed three so-called geniuses of the Chu Clan.

Whatever grievances she had against the Chu Clan should have been resolved. It was time for her to

make a decision. "Ina, you have taken your revenge. We should go back to the sect. From now on, you

have to concentrate on your cultivation," said Xander.

"No, master, everyone in the Chu Clan should die. You promised to help me get justice. How could you

be scared by a little brat?" The hostility on the girl's face disappeared and she began to act pitiful.

"Stop messing around and come with me!" Xander said sternly.

"No! No way! You, get on the stage!" The girl jumped down angrily and grabbed a young man of

substantial strength from the Chu Clan.

"Help me! Elders! Help me!" the young man suddenly burst into tears.

No master from the Chu Clan tried to stop this from happening. He was a collateral descendant of the

Chu Clan and his parents had low-level cultivation bases.

"Let my son go, please. We're just distant relatives of the Chu Clan. I beg you!" The young man's

mother immediately knelt on the ground and cried for mercy.

The girl called Ina was indifferent. In her eyes gleamed a hint of evil joy. She had killed the members of

the Chu Clan in such a brutal way, and yet they didn't dare stop it. This definitely discredited the Chu

Clan. So she didn't care whether her victims hailed from a direct line or a collateral line.

Seeing the young girl raise her sword and prepare to behead the young man, Darren bent his middle

finger and shot an internal force of sword and blade in her direction.

"That's enough. Do not push your luck," Darren said calmly.

Before the girl could wield her sword, an extraordinarily powerful force hit her sword, shattering it into

shards. She retreated, looking stunned. A line of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

"I'll give you a little lesson this time. If you don't leave, I won't hold back," Darren said lightly, a hard

sternness in his words.

Everyone was startled at what had happened. A shocked silence fell over the crowd.

Darren could break a sword with the bend of a finger and hurt a warrior in the Spirit Realm a hundred

steps away! Anyone who had known the least bit about martial arts recognized how tremendous his

power was, let alone those masters.

"Don't you understand what I just said? Leave! Now!"

The girl was shocked, and did not move. Instead she turned her eyes to her master, Xander. Darren

sighed and used his internal force to make her leave.

"Darren, she killed your family members and you let her go? Are you still a Chu Clan member or not?"

"Darren, you have such powerful strength! I can't believe you let her go after she did that to the Chu

Clan! I despise you no matter how strong you are!"

"That's right! If you are afraid of the elder of the Valiance Sect, just admit it! Why pretend to be

courageous? Your family members have been slaughtered and you dare not to take revenge?"

Several warriors from the families of the killed people shouted at Darren loudly. Scattered throughout

the crowd came furious booing.

"Quiet."

Darren's calm demeanor was disrupted by their remarks. His eyes gleamed with anger.

"Now you say you're my family? Now you say I'm part of the Chu Clan? You stupid fools! You really

think I wouldn't get even with you?"

With that, he raised his sword and a majestic force burst out. It swiftly struck those who were cursing at

him.

"Ah!"

Those so-called masters in the Spirit Realm were swiftly injured by Darren's sword attack.

"If you say another word, I'll kill all of you! Understand?"

Darren sneered. He had stood up to help the Chu Clan because of his nostalgia. But every trace of his

sentimentality was now gone. These idiots had actually invoked their so-called brotherhood and family

bond to shame him!

"What the..." Many people who did not understand the situation completely stared speechless at each

other. It was just now dawning on them that Darren was not as meek as he seemed.
