Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 408

"Gerald deserved that. After all, he had previously done some awful things! And I will not take care of him. It is Stark who has a really good relationship with him. I don't. As long as you don't kill me today, I can even serve you as your body guard." Ethan bowed. He hoped to convey his submission and respect to Darren.

"Darren, his confidence has been destroyed by you. I think it is not a bad idea for you to have a helper," Timothy mused, turning to Darren as he gave his friend advice.

"Oh, no, I don't think so. He is Darren's enemy and hates him with passion. What happens if he changes his mind? How could Darren handle the situation if he suddenly attacked our friend in secret? He is such an evil guy. Yes, at the moment he is bowing his head and making promises, but I don't think he is a man who keeps his word," Abelard injected, disagreeing with Timothy. He was frowning in displeasure at the mere idea of trusting a man like that.

"What you say is reasonable. Darren, what do you think?" Timothy turned to Darren with a questioning look.

A few moments passed in silence, but in the end Darren didn't reply to Timothy. Instead, he spoke directly to Ethan. "Just as my two good friends said, what if you change your mind at a later point in time?"

"How could I dare to do that? Your legendary beast is even stronger than a three-star grand warrior. I will definitely die if I try to stealthily attack you. I really mean it when I say that I can serve you. Please give me this chance, sir." Seeing that there was a chance that Darren might say yes, Ethan bent over even more. He even respectfully called Darren "sir" in the hopes of swaying the decision in his favor.

"All right. I will forgive you and you will not die by my hand now. You can follow me and I will see how you will behave. If you serve me with sincerity, I will reward you." Darren finally agreed to what Ethan was requesting.

"Darren, please consider it one more time," Abelard said to Darren in a low voice. Ultimately, it was Darren's choice whether to trust that guy, but Abelard didn't want his friend to be harmed. Trust was good, but it had a time and place, and this was not it, as far as he was concerned.

"I know what you mean. Don't worry about me. I am keenly aware of the fact that Ethan will attack me later. He is waiting for a chance to kill me. But right now we are in need of a fighter. At this moment in time, we can make use of him. Afterwards, I will surely kill him before he gets the chance to try to kill me," Darren said to his two good friends without opening his mouth or anybody else hearing it. His spiritual sense was very helpful in times like this when he needed to communicate something in secret.

As for Ethan, Darren was no fool. Just moments ago, when Ethan had promised to serve him, when he had bowed down and submitted himself, Darren could clearly feel Ethan's intent to kill him. It was still very present in Ethan's mind. It was obvious that such an evil guy like Ethan would never really serve others willingly.

Hearing his words echo in their minds, Timothy and Abelard both nodded their heads slowly. They were satisfied with Darren's reasoning and fully stood behind his decision.

"Master, do you really intend to forgive this lousy guy?" The Water Kylin turned to look at him as he asked the question. Nevertheless, he made sure to keep pushing out his powerful aura so as to suppress Ethan.

"It's okay. You can come back. Now that he is being sincere and wants to help me, I will not kill him," Darren explained to the Water Kylin calmly. He had an air of nonchalance about him, as if it was no big deal.
