Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 371

After Darren returned to the Chu Clan, he completed all necessary arrangements, including ordering the three invited guardians to take action in times of crisis. If they acted at whim, they would break the rules of all Holy Lands, which would trigger repression. At that time, if Darren were absent, there would be trouble.

Satisfied with the preparations, Darren called the three elders to a private room.

One of the reasons Darren had undertaken this journey was to figure out his true identity.

"Elders, please tell me honestly, am I the son of the Chu Clan?" Darren asked directly.

The three elders froze for a moment. They didn't know what prompted Darren to ask this question.

From among them, the Chief Elder was the first to speak. "Darren, what made you question your lineage? Of course, you are the biological son of Gavin. Unfortunately, your poor father was killed on that day. Alas! We have never learned the identity of his murderer."

Darren probed the Chief Elder with his Spirit Power and found that he hadn't lied.

A frown appeared on Darren's face as a strange feeling coursed through him. Darren had been gifted with a good memory—right since childhood, he could remember incidents that others had forgotten. He was three years older than Belle and clearly remembered the busy scenes in the yard when his sister was born. But Diana had said that he and Belle had not been birthed by the same mother.

So, who was his mother?

Creak.

At this time, the door opened, and a tall figure entered.

"I know the truth. You are correct. You are not Gavin's son," the man said.

Darren's elder uncle, Reed, had interrupted the conversation.

"What nonsense? I was present on the day of Darren's birth," the Third Elder declared. Agitation coursed through him when he heard Reed's absurd response.

"Sir, what I have said is the truth. Gavin picked up Darren. No. It's not completely accurate to say so," Reed replied.

The elders were confused.

"Nonsense! Did you lose your mind again?" The Second Elder didn't believe it at all.

"Elders, let Uncle Reed continue his explanation. Let's start with whether I was picked up or not." Darren had a feeling that he would learn the truth soon.

"On that day, I was in the backyard speaking with Gavin when a fireball shot across the sky and landed in front of us.

We were terrified that it might explode after the disastrous landing. However, it remained on the ground, without causing any damage. It looked like a big walnut. A few moments later, the fireball's shell cracked and fell apart. When your father and I peered inside, we saw a baby. That baby was you.

Since this incident was too strange, Gavin asked me not to talk about it. He also found an unusual jade tablet in the shell. I don't know where he put it. After he died, I tried looking for it, but I never found it,"

Reed recalled.

"Are you saying that I fell from the sky?" Darren asked astounded.

"Yes. That's the truth. We thought that since your origin was unusual, you must be a genius. Afterward, we found that you didn't have any talent for martial arts. So, I began to bully and suppress you. Alas, I'm sorry, Darren," Reed said regretfully.

"However, only two of us knew about this. Your father's other wives did want to harm you. In those days, our clan was facing many crises. Their respective clans did not help. On the contrary, they tried to hurt our families more. That was just hateful," Reed said bitterly.

"Forget it. Don't mention the past. As for those bitches, you can take some people with you and punish them. If necessary, ask the invited guardians to help," Darren instructed. Darren abhorred the other factions in the Chu Clan. After all, they were ruthless in their persecution of Belle and him.

"Okay, I understand. Darren, that's all I know about your lineage. I hope you aren't too upset about all this. The Chu Clan will always support you," Reed replied.
