Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1026

Everyone sat down after they had entered the hall.

"Darren, you helped us deal with a massive disaster immediately after your return. It's mighty generous of you," Garth praised.

"Ha-ha, since you knew that he is a troublemaker, why didn't you kill him?"

Darren couldn't understand why the officials had ignored what had happened in the Holy City. After all, Myron had done so many evil deeds.

"There are things that you don't know, Darren. If I had killed that guy and Anderson learned about it, he would bring his army here. At that time, blood would spill like rivers on both sides, and there would be countless casualties. We had no choice but to turn a blind eye to it.

Fortunately, you took care of him. A battle between you and Myron would be considered as a personal affair. If he tries to use the opportunity to blame us and attack the city, the elders will suppress him. This is why Anderson does not dare to kill people in the city at random."

After hearing this explanation, Darren had a better understanding of the situation.

"But why didn't you drive Myron away?" Darren asked.

"And where would I expel him to? A scumbag like him would be a disaster wherever he went. Expelling him would not curb his activities. He would just be evil in another place."

"That's true." Darren nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, you have done an excellent thing for the residents of the Holy City. You don't have to worry about Anderson. If he dares to make trouble for you, I will do my best to protect you!"

Garth assured Darren that he would personally protect him to avoid a war.

The promise had been easy enough to make as Garth knew that Darren had a powerful avatar. He was not concerned about Anderson taking revenge on Darren because of the avatar.

"Thank you, Governor," Darren replied politely.

"Ha-ha, I should be the one to thank you for your help. If your avatar hadn't injured the fiend, saved our life, and delayed its development, we and the eighteen cities may have already disappeared." Garth laughed loudly.

"Not at all," Darren answered perfunctorily and then continued, "How is the first fiend ancestor now?"

Garth's face darkened. His tone was laced with anxiety as he answered, "The situation is not very good. The bastard is afraid of your avatar and the four greatest holy warriors. So he didn't dare to attack the cities by himself. However, he created many low-grade fiends to spy on and make trouble in the cities. They have slain a dozen guardians of the eighteen cities."

This was worrying as the guards of the eighteen cities were all half-step emperors.

"Fortunately, you've returned. If you were absent for longer, the fiend would have figured out that your avatar is not in the cities, and then, he'd have made trouble," said Governor Garth.

Darren was startled to hear that, because his avatar was still in the ancient world and hadn't returned yet.

But, he didn't intend to tell anyone about it as once he exposed the secret, some people would take advantage.

"Let's see how it goes. If the first fiend ancestor dares to attack, I will call my avatar," murmured Darren.

"All right, all right. We depend on you now."

"You're too formal and polite. Everything that I've done is for the benefit of the human race," Darren remarked casually.

"Serve us the wine. We are here to welcome Mr. Chu."

Surrounded by people who were thanking and praising him, Darren drank a lot.

"Linda, you have been admiring Darren for a while. Come here and propose a toast to him," Garth called just as the party was ending. An instant later, a beautiful girl flew toward them.

"Dad, I never said that I admired Darren. Humph!" Crimson bloomed on the girl's cheeks as she demurely protested. However, she couldn't shift her eyes from Darren.

"Are you the Governor's daughter?" Albeit embarrassed, Darren greeted her with a smile.

"Yes, you are right. My name is Linda Qin," the girl replied.

Linda Qin tried to appear calm as she finished her introduction, all the while, her heart thumped wildly in her chest.

'Oh my, God! Darren is not only an exceptional talent, but he is also such a handsome man. Will he take a fancy to me? Will he like me?' Linda Qin's mind raced.
