Talented Martial Hero

While they were on their way to the Acqua City, the three people showed great respect to Darren. Being treated with utmost politeness, Darren felt a little strange. But he knew it was just one of the natural laws: respect is awarded to the best of the best.

They moved forward as quickly as time flew. Fourteen hours later, they finally caught a glimpse of the dim outline of the Acqua City.

"Captain Toby, I have something that I must deal with in the Acqua City. Do you mind if I take my leave now and just meet you in the Chu Clan tomorrow?"

Darren asked after the moment they arrived at the gate of the Acqua City.

"We are at your disposal,” Toby answered politely, "but..." He wanted to say something, but decided to hold it back as he felt some kind of embarrassment.

Seeing that Toby hesitated in speaking, Darren flashed him a tiny smile and said, "You don't have to worry, just tell me what you want to say."

He recalled that when he was a child, he had seen the mighty captain along with the crowd and that he envied his majestic authority. But now the captain had humbled himself in front of him. Mixed emotions stirred up in Darren's heart.

Hearing Darren's words, Toby couldn't help but feel a bit awkward but he replied with honesty, "Would you mind if I introduce you as the guest of the Governor's Office in the election campaign? It would definitely bring the Governor's Office great honor to have you as our guest.”

Darren wasn't surprised that Toby would put forward a serious matter, but it turned out to be nothing more than a simple request. He agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you so much. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow, Sir," Dale gave him his thanks and bade him goodbye

before he looked at Alison who was rooted to her spot, staring at Darren with a look of admiration. "My sister, do you want to go with him?" Dale made fun of her.

Hearing this, Alison felt angry and embarrassed at the same time. She said sulkily as her face turned red and almost resembled a tomato, "Are you really my brother? I have no time for any of your impudence.”

"Oh, dear. Why did you react so hostile towards me? Are you blaming me for accurately reading your face and speaking your mind for you?" Dale joked. A playful smile dashed across his lips. "Okay, I think you've said enough. Stop it with your pranks and jokes. You're embarrassing yourselves in front of others," Toby interfered with his gentle voice.

Seeing this, Darren couldn't help but smile. He then gestured to leave. .

After he stepped into the Acqua City, he immediately headed east, where the Chu Clan was located. He hadn't been around for about half a year. All sorts of emotions surged through him as he found himself walking on the streets again. It was surreal to have strong martial artists pass by him and salute him with respect.

Just as he was walking through the crowd, he heard a strange voice with his ears—

"I swear I would do everything to make the Chu Clan pay. I would make them all die without any remaining descendant.”

Using his mind, Darren immediately discovered where the voice was coming from.

It was a young girl dressed in green. Her beautiful face was blazing with murderous hatred. Beside her was an old man who possessed an impressively steady aura.

"Ina, don't muddle things up. Killing some juniors of the Chu Clan is surely enough to teach them a lesson," the old man said to her.

"Master, you have no idea about the hardships I've gone through these past years, how helpless I was when my mother died of illness. Without your help, I would have probably starved to death. Now that the cruel man who abandoned my mother and me has died, the sins of him are passed on to his children. So I have decided to take revenge on his descendants by wiping out all of them!" the girl fumed as her face grew dimmer.

"Ina, you are at the first stage of the Spirit Realm and I believe most youngsters in the Chu Clan wouldn't stand a chance against you. I will turn a blind eye on you as long as you don't overdo it and catch the attention of the Governor's Office. Though the strength of the Governor's Office isn't that powerful, it is still an organization of the government. If you dare irritate them, they have the power to call all possible forces into action. By that time, even I would have a lot of trouble trying to fix things.”

"Master, you have truly been very nice to me and I'm certain you are the best person on earth. With your incredible power of the ninth stage of the Spirit Realm and your status as the elder of the Valiance Sect, I believe it will be a piece of cake for you to overcome the Governor's Office. I know you have the power to help me, please!" Ina begged.

"Alas! You are really quite a stubborn girl. You have to promise me that after this, you're going to work hard in your cultivation and would no longer kill anyone else unless you have to, all right?” the old man finally agreed but with a simple request.

Hearing this, the girl responded sincerely, "All right.”

Their entire conversation was heard by Darren, and the old man also noticed that Darren was eavesdropping. A gleam of sharp light shot out from his eyes, dashing towards Darren with great power.

"What the...? The light is infused with great spiritual power," Darren murmured to himself while frowning.

The moment he sensed the great power, he channeled his own spiritual power in preparation for a fight. He shot a counter-attack to guard himself!

The two forces clashed against each other and it was crystal clear to see which was mightier. The old man's face turned pale as he stumbled back a few steps. He was obviously at a disadvantage.

The old man was now aware that he was no match for the young man. A serious look passed over his face. He then made a polite gesture to Darren and apologized, "I'm sorry if I have offended you."
