Nobilis of War

Chapter 59 He Was So Untouchable

Everyone turned their eyes to Darren. Suddenly, most of them realized that this young man was quite

invincible as far as they were concerned. They began to see him like a powerful hero from a legend.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Loud applause burst out from the crowd. Not having seen anything like his strength in a long time, they

were excited.

"Wonderful! He is an outstanding member of our Chu Clan!" The guard of the Martial Skill Library also

clapped his hands, proudly speaking highly of Darren.

On the main platform, the Elders of the Chu Clan were exchanging pleased expressions. But all of

them inwardly felt regretful that they had looked down on this young genius.

The most surprised looks were from the visiting clans. Darren was at such a tender age, but already

had such outstanding strength. He was on par with or even better than the top members of the other

clans in Valmar. In this way, the Chu Clan had really become the number one clan in Valmar!

"Ina, let's go. We will never return to the Chu Clan from now on," the Elder of the Valiance Sect said to

the girl with a sigh.

She had been in a stunned daze ever since the fighting ended and now was brought back to reality by

the old man's voice. Looking at his pale face, she felt her stomach twist in knots.

She had always thought that she was the most talented one and her master was unbeatable. But the

young man in front of her had defeated her master so easily! He was too powerful! She stood no match

against him!

"Okay," the girl nodded, a bitter smile plastered onto her lips. She had been dealt a rather heavy blow

by this young man.

"Do you want to go?" a member of the Chu Clan stood out of the crowd and asked. "How dare you

leave after you committed such violence in our Chu Clan?"

Confident that Darren would protect them and the old man had been hurt, some members of the Chu

Clan began to act aggressively again.

"Who are you!? Why didn't you stand up a moment ago?" Ina said, staring him down.

The source of the bold voice backed down instantly at her piercing gaze.

"Stop!" Someone blocked their way.

It was Darren! The girl and the old man both stiffened and stood in place, not daring to take a single

step forward.

"Mr. Darren, don't let them go. All people who have killed members of our Chu Clan must die!"

"That's right! Did you really think you could come and go freely in the presence of Mr. Darren?"

Some other members beside the platform started to laugh and jeer.

"Shut your mouths!" Darren shouted with a look of irritation. He quickly leaped to the noisy arrogant

men who had shouted just now and slapped them square on their faces. What he hated most were

these kinds of bad guys who stirred up unnecessary trouble.

Hearing Darren's words, the old man and the girl turned around. At that moment, the old man

remembered that Darren had made a deal with him previously that they would only use one move. Did

that young man not want to let him go?

"You should not stand by while your disciple behaves like that. Otherwise, she will die a very miserable

death someday. And your strength is far from enough to protect her from meeting such an awful end.

You can go now," Darren said, his face now blank.

He did not intend to kill the old man and the girl. After all, Nicholas and his followers did deserve death.

He caught wind that the girl seemed to be a daughter of some member of the Chu Clan who was

allegedly treated unfairly. Darren did not want to be involved in their problems or ask whether the girl's

words were true or not.

"I get it. Thank you for your consideration and advice," the old man replied to Darren, bowing to him.

He was convinced of this man's justness. His eyes were full of admiration.

"Thank you, sir!" Even the girl showed genuine gratitude and respect to him.

Then the old man and the girl left, supporting each other.

...

"Mr. Darren, the chief of our clan!"

All of a sudden, the Chief Elder stood up and approached Darren. He got down on his knees as a sign

of great respect.

"Mr. Darren, the chief of our clan!"

"Mr. Darren, the chief of our Chu Clan!"

Following suit, all the other members of the Chu Clan got down on their knees and the members from

other clans who attended this ceremony bowed to him. Darren had been unanimously accepted as the

new chief of the Chu Clan.

"I never said I wanted to be the chief of the Chu Clan!" Darren said. Hearing his words, the Chief Elder

fell backwards in shock.

"Darren, it is only you who are qualified to be the chief of the Chu Clan. Please do not deny the honor,

young man!"

an old man stepped forward and said to Darren. The other members dared not retort, but were puzzled

and raised their heads to have a look at who it was. 'Who dares to talk to Darren like this?' they

thought. The old man turned to be the guard of the Martial Skill Library of the Chu Clan.

"Here you are, Elder." Darren greeted the guard of the Martial Skill Library of Chu Clan with a smile, his

hands cupped respectfully.

Darren always showed his respect to the people who were worth his respect. No matter how strong he

was, he would never change his attitude. That was Darren's disposition when it came to treating other

people.

At that moment, Toby, the Captain of the guards in the Governor's Office also came forward and said,

"Darren, they are right. It is definitely you who are worthy to become the chief of the Chu Clan. And this

is also what everybody wants."

Seeing the guard of the Martial Skill Library and Toby had such a good relationship with Darren, the

other Elders of the Chu Clan felt even more remorse! They now realized that if only they had not

oppressed this talented young man before, he would right now be showing his respect to them as well!

"Well, Elder, Captain Toby, I've never considered being the chief of the Chu Clan. Please don't mention

it any more," Darren answered. It never was his intention to become the chief. To him this position was

basically just a fancy noose.

"Darren, please accept this position. I was wrong before and made a big mistake. I should not have

treated you like that. I was really blind and didn't recognize your talent at that time," the Chief Elder

said. He was repenting his error genuinely, in hopes that the chief of the Chu Clan could be a powerful

man like Darren.

"Darren. We are sorry that we treated you unfairly before," two other Elders said to Darren as well.

They chimed up, holding themselves accountable.

"No, that's not the reason," Darren shook his head and said. "I want to see more of the world and don't

want to be restrained by being the chief of our clan. Please choose someone else who is qualified."

Having calmly said this, Darren turned around and was about to leave.

Hearing his words, everyone fully understood that this young man had reached a high level that was

untouchable to them. In his eyes, the position of the chief of the Chu Clan was a burden and not an

honor! The members felt embarrassed and bitter about this turn of events.

Before he left, Darren saw his uncles in the crowd, trying to hide themselves.

"Uncle Reed..." Darren called him while looking in his direction.

Hearing his voice, Reed was so frightened that he got down on his knees at once and begged, "Mr.

Darren. I am sorry to have treated you badly. I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Darren's elder uncle was also nervously standing in the crowd. He was terrified that Darren would find

him next.

Darren was surprised at Reed's pathetic actions. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Uncle Reed, your

wallet... seems to be on the ground."

With this, Darren turned around, only hearing the laughter behind him.

Reed looked down on the ground. His wallet was actually there!

'Shit! How humiliating! I better hide myself from the others...' Reed was wholly embarrassed, his face

flushing a beet red.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Darren's elder uncle felt relieved a little bit. 'Darren seems not to want to make trouble for me. He really

has a big heart. This is what a powerful man is like! In his eyes, I am nobody!' Darren's elder uncle also

felt bad, as if Darren had given him a slap in front of other people.

As he prepared to leave the Chu Clan, Darren turned back and glanced at the house where he grew up

again. He would probably never enter that familiar structure again. Since he had decided to leave this

place forever, what happened here would be gone with the wind. He would sever all ties with this place

and its people.

"Giddy up!" Darren cracked the whip and urged his horse onwards. He was leaving for the Ilmen Sect

soon.

"Darren, please wait!" Toby's voice shouted from behind.

Darren stopped and turned around to see that Toby was running up to him.

"Darren, I have some secret information here that I think I need to tell you," Toby said, panting.

"What is it?" Darren asked, furrowing his brow.

"It is about your father's murder. The Governor's Office has some clues now after we did some

investigations. Do you want to know about it?" Toby said, taking out a yellow file from his pocket.

"Darren, the murderer has an impressive background. I just want you to know who it is. Please do not

want to take revenge now. And I hope you don't blame the Governor's Office. I'm very sorry to say that

we are not strong enough to defeat him," Toby said pleadingly, worry in his eyes.

"What kind of background?" Darren asked quietly, eager to know who it was.
