Everyone turned their eyes to Darren. Suddenly, most of them realized that this young man was quite invincible as far as they were concerned. They began to see him like a powerful hero from a legend.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Loud applause burst out from the crowd. Not having seen anything like his strength in a long time, they were excited.
"Wonderful! He is an outstanding member of our Chu Clan!" The guard of the Martial Skill Library also clapped his hands, proudly speaking highly of Darren.
On the main platform, the Elders of the Chu Clan were exchanging pleased expressions. But all of them inwardly felt regretful that they had looked down on this young genius.
The most surprised looks were from the visiting clans. Darren was at such a tender age, but already had such outstanding strength. He was on par with or even better than the top members of the other clans in Valmar. In this way, the Chu Clan had really become the number one clan in Valmar!
"Ina, let's go. We will never return to the Chu Clan from now on," the Elder of the Valiance Sect said to the girl with a sigh.
She had been in a stunned daze ever since the fighting ended and now was brought back to reality by the old man's voice. Looking at his pale face, she felt her stomach twist in knots.
She had always thought that she was the most talented one and her master was unbeatable. But the young man in front of her had defeated her master so easily! He was too powerful! She stood no match against him!
"Okay," the girl nodded, a bitter smile plastered onto her lips. She had been dealt a rather heavy blow by this young man.
"Do you want to go?" a member of the Chu Clan stood out of the crowd and asked. "How dare you leave after you committed such violence in our Chu Clan?"
Confident that Darren would protect them and the old man had been hurt, some members of the Chu Clan began to act aggressively again.
"Who are you!? Why didn't you stand up a moment ago?" Ina said, staring him down.
The source of the bold voice backed down instantly at her piercing gaze.
"Stop!" Someone blocked their way.
It was Darren! The girl and the old man both stiffened and stood in place, not daring to take a single step forward.
"Mr. Darren, don't let them go. All people who have killed members of our Chu Clan must die!"
"That's right! Did you really think you could come and go freely in the presence of Mr. Darren?"
Some other members beside the platform started to laugh and jeer.
"Shut your mouths!" Darren shouted with a look of irritation. He quickly leaped to the noisy arrogant men who had shouted just now and slapped them square on their faces. What he hated most were these kinds of bad guys who stirred up unnecessary trouble.
Hearing Darren's words, the old man and the girl turned around. At that moment, the old man remembered that Darren had made a deal with him previously that they would only use one move. Did that young man not want to let him go?
"You should not stand by while your disciple behaves like that. Otherwise, she will die a very miserable death someday. And your strength is far from enough to protect her from meeting such an awful end. You can go now," Darren said, his face now blank.
He did not intend to kill the old man and the girl. After all, Nicholas and his followers did deserve death. He caught wind that the girl seemed to be a daughter of some member of the Chu Clan who was allegedly treated unfairly. Darren did not want to be involved in their problems or ask whether the girl's words were true or not.
"I get it. Thank you for your consideration and advice," the old man replied to Darren, bowing to him. He was convinced of this man's justness. His eyes were full of admiration.
"Thank you, sir!" Even the girl showed genuine gratitude and respect to him.
Then the old man and the girl left, supporting each other.
...
"Mr. Darren, the chief of our clan!"
All of a sudden, the Chief Elder stood up and approached Darren. He got down on his knees as a sign of great respect.
"Mr. Darren, the chief of our clan!"
"Mr. Darren, the chief of our Chu Clan!"
