Soon enough, just as they wrapped up with their conversation, two figures came towards them from the other end of the palace.
Darren followed the golden-armored law enforcer and stopped in front of Lord Donald. The law enforcer then remained silent in an empty seat at the left side of the palace, and even his breath was concealed.
At that very moment, there were ten law enforcers in golden armors on both sides of the palace.
These ten law enforcers were the best warriors, and each had the combat power of an inferior holy warrior. Thus, it was not hard to imagine how powerful the Sacred Palace was.
"Darren, will you plead guilty?"
The voice of the middle-aged man spread all over the palace while his eyes were closed.
"What?"
Surprised at the question, Darren made a high-pitched tone query.
According to the law enforcer who led Darren to the Sacred Palace, the lord would apologize to him. What was with the sudden change of the plan? How could he be so angry and even ask if Darren would plead guilty?!
"My Lord, may I know what I'm guilty of?" taking a step forward, Darren said calmly, standing straight.
"How dare you!" the old man on the side berated furiously. After a pause, he continued, "Your attitude was so arrogant even when you are in the presence of our leader. You should kneel and make a salute, but you didn't. Being so disrespectful is your first guilt!"
Darren's eyes swept over the old man after he heard that. It was not until he saw the old man's face that he realized that it was this conceited old man who thought he was superior to others.
"Why do you have to be so unreasonable? Let me ask you, why should I kneel when I'm not from the Sacred Palace? I addressed Lord Donald respectfully just now. And you interpreted my respect as being arrogant?" Darren answered without hesitation, with a voice that wouldn't be allowed to be suppressed. He was neither in a rushed or slowed speed.
"How dare you! Our Sacred Palace has over billions of human beings under our command. And you dare to say that you are not from our Sacred Palace?" the old man shouted again. This time, his voice and his gesture betrayed the hatred that was abundant in his heart.
"How dare you!"
Darren roared back, unable to contain his anger at the same time.
"Lord Donald sent someone to lead me here. Even if I am guilty, he should be the one that has the right to ask me. How about your position in this palace? Is your position even above Lord Donald? If you don't take Lord Donald's position seriously, who do you think is arrogant, you or me?" Darren said coldly, stressing out his point. His eyes were filled with scorn towards the old man.
"Haha." Letting out a wicked laugh, Darren said, "You should know what happened before, and you should know what kind of monster Eddy is.
He is a kind of evil ghost, killing countless people and doing numerous evil deeds. You should have punished him before the incident at the Bottom Spiritual World. However, he didn't receive any punishments. Furthermore, you just allowed him to feast on other people's souls. Do you admit that, Lord Donald? Just now the old man claimed that the Sacred Palace is in charge of billions of human beings, yet it doesn't care whether ordinary people are alive or dead. Do you think it is reasonable?
Eddy threatened to kill my sister and me. Shouldn't I resist? Since you think Eddy is influential and can't be killed, you still can send the law enforcers to prevent him from killing innocent people, right?
But, you didn't send out a few weak law enforcers to help us until Lawrence fought to the death to protect us. You were trying to wait for the moment that my sister was devoured by Eddy so that he can become stronger and kill us all!"
as if hitting a bull's eye, Darren snapped. He had seen through every plot in the incident.
Indeed, if the Sacred Palace had sent a strong law enforcer to suppress Eddy, then he would have been subdued a long time ago. Consequently, he would never have had the chance to seal the space passage.
Besides, from what the law enforcer who came to rescue them had said to Darren, it was clear that the Sacred Palace didn't care about Darren's life at all. They only cared whether Eddy's will was satisfied!
"Ha ha ha! What a talkative brat! Do you think that after you have talked so much nonsense, you can avoid your punishment? If that is the case, you are just too naive!" the old man who had been silent for a long time sneered coldly.
