Nobilis of War novel Chapter 56

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.

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.
