Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 174

Darren did not respond to his question.

Harvey assumed his silence to be a yes.

He didn't expect any of this to happen. Besides, it was his responsibility to deal with the situation and make sure that everything went on as planned. The fight could not go on as they promised, but the audience would not accept it.

"Darren, if the fight has to stop then we will only have to pay you half of the reward. Are you willing to accept that?" Harvey asked.

A moment ago, Harvey had heard Bruce concede from the fight and obviously, Darren was supposed to obtain the reward of eight million ink stones if he could defeat Bruce on the platform with one fist. So now he was attempting to negotiate with Darren by offering him only half of the promised reward.

"I don't care. You can do as you like."

Now Darren already had a few million of ink stones and he believed it was more than enough to buy the Primitive Stone in tomorrow's auction. What he was currently worried about was how he would be able to take Bruce away with him. What Bruce was suffering from now reminded him of his own miserable memories. And he couldn't help but feel very sorry for him.

"Bruce, how are you feeling? Can you stand up and go with me? I will not fight you. Let's get out of here together," Darren lowered himself beside Bruce and asked him in a low voice in fear of frightening him.

"No, no! I...lose. It hurts..." Hearing Darren's words, Bruce was still obviously terrified.

Darren knew for sure that Bruce would be mistreated badly if he failed to win a great amount of ink stones. And Darren also could tell that Bruce had been treated badly and that was why he was behaving very oddly right now.

"Let's go, come with me. You don't have to be afraid. Trust me and follow my lead," Darren instructed Bruce with the most gentle voice.

"Humph! Are you Darren?"

At that moment, a voice full of hatred and great power spoke up.

Darren looked up. The young man that he had thrown off the platform had returned, together with another young man with an overwhelming aura. The voice obviously came from him.

"Who are you?" Darren replied to him coldly.

"Hah! There are so many other places that I've thoroughly searched. Do you know I have been looking all over for you? You dared to hurt my younger brother that severely. Now I have the chance to cut you into pieces myself!" the young man said while glaring at Darren with great murderous intent.
