Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1334

"Let go of my son, cowards!"

Leroy glared at Darren and roared like a beast, madly furious about the situation.

"Are you taking me for an idiot? Why would I do that?" Darren answered with a cold expression in his eyes.

"Think about your actions, you brat. I can kill you easily before you can do anything to my son," Leroy threatened through gritted teeth.

"What a bluff! You might be able to kill me with a single palm strike, but before you do, your son's heart and brain will explode right before your eyes first! Try it if you dare! What's more important to you, my life, or your son's?"

Leroy wasn't able to utter a word. He was so infuriated that he felt like his heart was going to burst any minute.

Dario was his only son and the apple of his eye. He would do anything for him, even to the point of offending the Tussle Holy House just to save him.

If there was one thing he couldn't bear, it was his son's death.

Swoosh!

Desperate enough, he dashed towards Weber and tried to turn him into his own hostage to have leverage against Darren.

However, Darren had already thought that he might do this, so he warned Weber beforehand. Weber had been on guard all the time and stayed close to Darren.

"That's as far as you can go!"

Weber suddenly bent down and held Dario's family jewels in his hand.

"One wrong move and I'll make sure that he will be the last of your family line!"

Dario's face quickly turned pale because of the pain. "Father! Please don't move. He's serious. I'm in a lot of pain!"

Weber began pressing hard and Dario felt that his testicles were about to be crushed.

"Stop it! What do you want?" Leroy had no choice but to back off.

"Seriously? You don't know what I want?" Darren sneered.

"Fine! I'll let you leave alive, but you have to let go of my son first." Leroy tried his best to look calm and convincing.

"Then what? You'll kill us afterward? Stop pretending to be someone that upholds his promise!" Weber shouted in annoyance. He was so sure that if they released Dario first, Leroy wouldn't hesitate to kill both of them right after.

"This is how it will go. You will get out of the hunting land first. A month later, you will see your son come out of here alive," Darren declared his condition.

"What? No way!" Leroy objected right away.

"Oh well, then you leave us with no choice. If you're so determined to kill us, then we'll take your son with us to hell!" Darren shouted firmly and began to tighten his grip on Dario.

"Argh!" Dario cried out in extreme pain. Tears were welling up his eyes and his face became distorted.

Leroy started panicking. He was in the middle of a huge crisis and was struggling to make a decision.

He was also sure that even if he followed their demands, they still wouldn't let go of his son. However, if he didn't leave, they were prepared to take his son's life at the cost of theirs.

As much as possible, he wanted to keep his son safe.

However, a thought suddenly entered his mind. "Dario, I'm sorry…" Leroy said with a trembling voice as he burst into tears.

"Father, what are you saying? They said that they would let me go. Hurry up and leave!" Dario's heart pounded hard. He didn't understand why his father would suddenly apologize to him at this moment.

"I'll do my best to compensate for everything in the next life,"

Leroy said as he continued sobbing.

It seemed like he had made up his mind.

Leroy predicted that his son would have no chance of surviving whatever choice he picked. Even if he retreated and let them go, the powerful figure behind Weber was not someone he could afford to offend.

Thus, if they survived, he thought that not only would his son die for nothing, but his sect would also be destroyed.

Pondering on these thoughts, he had finally come up with his decision. He chose to endure the pain of losing his son just to eliminate Darren and Weber.

"Father, what are you talking about? You're scaring me!" Dario's voice became broken. It was as if he was in denial, though he knew exactly what his father meant. His heart ached more than the physical pain that his body was experiencing.

"Dario, listen to me. I have no choice. If we let these two live, all the members of our sect might perish!" Leroy tried to explain himself.

"W-what? You would choose my death to save other people?" Dario couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Leroy didn't respond and just closed his eyes.

Upon witnessing this scene, Darren and Weber also became frantic. They couldn't determine if the old man was just acting or if he really chose to sacrifice his son's life.

"Darren, what should we do now? I don't think he's bluffing anymore," Weber said through his spiritual sense.

"Yeah, I think so too. What else can we do? We can only die together here," Darren said as if he had also resigned. He didn't know what to do either.

"So, that's it…" Weber let out a deep sigh.
