Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 715

"Sir, to whom do you refer?" Darren pretended not to know what the number one law enforcer was talking about.

With a slight smile, the number one law enforcer, Auberon, said, "I need to know the background of that kid."

"He's my younger brother. Why do you need to investigate, sir?" Darren replied calmly.

"We are simply following the rules of the Sacred Palace."

At first sight, Auberon felt that Aaron was not a member of the world. It was his duty to examine the background of any foreign creature in this world.

"Auberon, he is Darren's younger brother. He just mastered some ancient martial skills. How can you be so serious with a kid?"

Theodore walked forward and patted Auberon on the shoulder.

"Theodore..."

"Don't speak more about this! I am inviting you to have a drink with me since I have just earned my freedom after a lot of suffering. You won't refuse me, will you?"

Auberon was only a kid when Theodore became famous as the number two law enforcer. Theodore had once been Auberon's mentor. Later, Auberon's strength surpassed Theodore and even became the number one law enforcer.

This was why Auberon had great respect for Theodore.

"Okay. Let's return to the Sacred Palace as soon as possible. I believe that the Lord of the Sacred Palace will be pleased to learn that you are still alive. From now on, there will be one more powerful man guarding our Sacred Palace. Ha-ha," Auberon said as he burst out with laughter. As he had just met an old acquaintance after tens of thousands of years, he ignored the other matters.

"Let's go. The lord thinks highly of you, kid," Auberon said as he signaled for Darren to follow.

Then, they all leapt into the air and flew out of the Badlands.

In front of the magnificent palace, lines of law enforcers stood in an orderly fashion. The Lord of the Sacred Palace, Lord Donald, also came to welcome them.

Of course, this arrangement was not for Darren's benefit only.

The main reason for this display was that Auberon had informed them that Theodore was still alive.

Darren, Theodore, and the others walked forward as Lord Donald ambled toward them.

"Ha-ha, Theodore. I've been looking forward to seeing you ever since I heard of your return," Lord Donald greeted as he reached them.

Theodore was stunned for a moment. Then he responded, "Oh, it's you, Donald. Congratulations on your promotion to Lord of the Sacred Palace."

Although Theodore and Donald were old acquaintances, they were not close.

"Come in, please.

Darren, I am thrilled to see that you have returned safe and sound. Follow me,"

Lord Donald greeted Darren with a smile. Darren nodded before walking toward the palace.

In the middle of the palace stood a large table filled with all kinds of delicious dishes and wine.

"Come here, everyone. Please have a seat. Let's welcome Darren and Theodore,"

Lord Donald said warmly as he motioned to everyone to sit down.

During the dinner, Lord Donald mainly spoke with Theodore about what had happened to him and what had he suffered. He was terribly upset by the stories that Theodore shared.

"Theodore, if you hadn't been framed by the demonic monster, you would be the Lord of the Sacred Palace. Now that you're back, I'd like to appoint you as the new lord. When do you think it would be appropriate to hold the enthronement ceremony?"

Lord Donald suddenly asked. Everyone had consumed at least three rounds of wine by now, and were in merry spirits. His statement silenced everyone at the table.

"Don't say that, Donald. I'm from the criminal clan, so I'm not eligible to be the Lord of the Sacred Palace. If you continue like this, I will leave at once," Theodore replied. The seriousness he felt reflected in his expression.

"Ah, Theodore. I was not joking."

"My Lord, I have just returned to my hometown after enduring torture for many years. All I want to do is check on my clan. As for the position of the Lord of the Sacred Palace, I have to refuse. You have no right to give the rank to others, do you?"

"Ha-ha, you are right, Theodore. I am indeed not qualified to abdicate. I will have to discuss this matter with the four great clans."

Lord Donald's words eased some of the awkwardness.
