Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 717

"Yes, that Emperor Weapon is a good match for Darren." All three men looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"No, I don't agree. You should go now." With a resolute expression on his face, Lord Donald directly rejected their suggestion without asking for Darren's opinion.

"As I said, it is all up to Darren. Lord Donald, you don't want to decide by yourself for Darren, do you? Let him speak for himself," one of them said in a calm voice looking from Lord Donald to Darren.

"Darren, join the Cross Expeditionary Force, and you get one Emperor Weapon. What do you say?"

After several times of being asked, Darren didn't reply. He was thinking about the matter and was hesitant on how to respond.

"Don't talk anymore. Only Darren is indeed able to wear the cursed armor, but once he puts it on, he will become a killing machine without any emotions. Darren won't agree even if I don't say anything," Lord Donald said coldly. It was evident that he was vexed at the moment.

Only then did Darren understand and had a clear picture of what the cursed armor was like—and what it was built for.

"I refuse to join," Darren verbalized at last.

After all, nobody in his right mind would agree to such an agreement. How could Darren agree to exchange human feelings for an Emperor Weapon?

"Darren, don't believe in what Lord Donald said. The Emperor Weapon is not a cursed armor, but an armor made by an ancient emperor who cultivated blade and sword. It is called the Blade and Sword Armor. If an ordinary person wore it, there would be a certain probability that he would be controlled by the Weapon Soul and become a killing machine. But you are different. Since you are cultivating the blade skill and sword skill at the same time, it is absolutely fine for you to wear it," said a member of the three great clans.

"Shut up! How many geniuses has that thing ruined? Why don't the elders of your clans destroy it?" Lord Donald asked angrily. His voice was getting louder as the conversation lengthened.

There were at least one hundred peerless geniuses who had worn the Blade and Sword Armor. Without exception, they all became emotionless and only intended to kill people. They all ended up dying during the battles.

"There's no need to persuade me anymore. It's just an Emperor Weapon. I, Darren, will not risk my life for it. What's more, I don't want to help you plunder the resources. Please leave now," Darren refused again and drove them away. He had come to a final decision, and nothing would make him change his mind.

"Great! Darren, your decision is absolutely correct. It's just a weapon. It's no big deal." Glad about Darren's rejection of such an indecent invitation, Theodore nodded and smiled.

"Huh! How dare you!" Contrariwise, the faces of the three men darkened when they heard Darren's refusal.

"No! How dare you!" Raising his voice, Lord Donald pounded the table and released his entire oppressive force. With his face trembling, he said, "You have barged into my Sacred Palace without permission, and you even dared to shout at us. Do you really think I'm just a puppet in a show?"

Feared from hearing the words from Lord Donald, the expressions of the three people changed again. They did not doubt that if they stayed a little longer, Lord Donald would attack them, and they would be digging their own graves.

"Let's go!" A wise man knew when to retreat. After all, this was the Sacred Palace, and they dared not go too far even some powerful people backed them up. Thus, they were left with no choice but to leave.

After the three left, Darren and the others drank more wines and were soon ready to go.

"Darren, what's your plan? If you don't have a place to go, I suggest that you should enter the eighteen cities to improve yourself. Of course, you can choose not to go on an expedition in the Aborigines Worlds," Lord Donald suggested and offered Darren some alternatives.

"There's no need to be in a hurry. If I really need to practice, I will come to you, My Lord. As for now, I haven't seen my kin in recent years. It's been a long time since I went back to my hometown. Perhaps going back home there to see my old friends would be a good idea," Darren retorted back. Though he would love to stay, he felt obliged to visit his own clan.

"Okay, feel free to go. But don't forget to improve your strength as well as keep an eye on the people from the three great clans, in case they mess up with you. If something terrible happens, try to inform Auberon and let him help you," advised Lord Donald.

"Thank you, My Lord. I'll do that if I get held up."

After Darren agreed, Lord Donald asked Auberon to give Darren a contact bead so he could reach out to him quickly.

"Donald, I should go back to my clan to see if there are anyone who knows me still alive," Theodore said and planned to leave together with Darren.

"Theodore, please come back as fast as you can after you return home. If possible, you can go to the eighteen cities and lead an army there as soon as possible. With your help, fewer members of our clans will die.

What's more, if we were to take down that Aborigines World, your clan might be able to be freed earlier as well," Lord Donald said as he allowed Theodore to leave too.
