Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1027

"I didn't say I dislike you, Linda. It just so happens that sadly, your flirtatious charm isn't working on me," Darren laughed.

"What are you implying?" Linda shouted as she pointed a stern finger at Darren.

"I just need a favor. So will you help me or not? Mind you, if you decline, I'm going to tell Laura," Linda said angrily.

"Go ahead and tell her then. It won't do anything anyway." Darren shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, Darren, help me just this once." Linda shook Darren's arm with a pouty face.

"Explain your request first. Why do you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?" Darren asked.

"I'm trying to get rid of those perverted bastards on my tail, of course," Linda blurted out.

"Really?" Darren looked at her and immediately understood what she meant. Linda was a beautiful and attractive lady. Men were practically falling over their feet chasing after her.

She made it quite obvious she wasn't interested in any of them.

"You want me to make your crowd of suitors jealous?" Darren asked.

"Oh Darren, sweetie, you are ever so smart! Truly the cream of the crop here. So you'll help me, then?" Linda said with a smile like honey.

"Let me think about it." Darren pretended to think very carefully with his eyes furrowed.

"This means all your angry and jealous pursuers are going to come after me, right? What do you think?"

"Oh please. Hush, Darren. You're such a renowned hero by now and you're still afraid of those bunch of toads," said Linda while she rolled her eyes.

"But, there's nothing in it for me at all," Darren said with a grin.

"Darren." Linda pursed her lips and cast a scornful glance at Darren. "So you want something good, right? I don't think I have anything you might like. Unless, I'm enough for payment?" Linda said this with a coy smile.

"Fuck off!" Darren chuckled. He knew that Linda was making fun of him. So he turned around and entered the room.

Linda let out a chipper laugh. "Darren, I'll come over to pick you up tomorrow morning. It's settled, we're going to a party together."

As soon as she said this, she hopped off without waiting for Darren's reply.

On the way back to her room, Linda couldn't stop imagining how painful it would be for her pursuers to see her with such a handsome boyfriend at the party the next day.

Linda couldn't help but giggle at the thought.

Darren went back to his room and sat on the bed. With his current cultivation level, he naturally did not need much sleep. The rest he needed was to relax or cultivate.

'I wonder what's going on with Finley and the Water Kylin.'

After winding down, Darren began to worry about them.

'I heard that Barnes released two body parts of the first fiend ancestor. If this is true, then I think he might release the other suppressed body parts too.

Without the guarding of the four greatest holy warriors, just a single fiend body part getting out will spell disaster.

Now the eighteen cities are in unrest as well. The first fiend ancestor will definitely take advantage of this and attack them. I feel this day is nigh.

The Lothlann Continent, which has been quiet for millions of years, is about to fall into darkness again.

Is this really what is destined to happen?'

Darren didn't believe in fate before, but after he had gone through the test set by Yahya, he had a feeling that there was indeed a fate arranged for every individual.

He remembered the duel in the abandoned well he saw before and wondered if it was really a premonition of something yet to happen. 'If it comes true, then our fate is doomed.

I wonder if what Hailey saw in the abandoned well was real too.

Hailey said she saw that she was destined to be the savior and sacrifice her life when the darkness comes.'

"Fate," Darren suddenly said aloud. Darren shook his head. "That's bullshit! I don't believe in fate."

Darren decided to give his thoughts a rest. His life motto was that strength rules everything.

It was still uncertain if Elsa was alive or not. He had to keep growing stronger.

'My dark gold internal force still isn't able to bring me to my maximum strength. I'll need that if I want to make a breakthrough.

There is also plenty of room for the growth of my Shura Force now. I just need to assimilate a large amount of spiritual energy for it.
