Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 843

"Darren, what are you doing? You're letting him get away!" Barnes the Holy snapped at Darren. His eyes were accusing as he looked at Darren, trying to avoid getting blamed for the kylin's escape.

Darren's face darkened upon hearing Barnes' accusation.

Unable to control himself, Darren went over and slapped the other man in the face.

Barnes was too stunned at first, but it was immediately replaced by fury.

"How dare you slap me? You really are looking for death. Come here and I'll kill you myself," he bellowed in pain.

The mutated monkey and the others immediately interceded.

"Don't mind him, Darren. Barnes the Holy is only in a bad mood. He didn't mean to annoy you. Also, the kylin is an easy opponent. He can run away now, but we'll definitely get him soon." Caroline tried to soothe Darren.

But he was still too angry. "You're the one who messed up and let him get away, not me. But now you're putting your mistakes on me? I'll get you for this."

"Hey! Don't take this too seriously. This is all just a joke." Barnes rushed to the mutated monkey's side, as if searching for protection.

"Darren, you're back!"

At this moment, an old kylin of the Water Kylin Clan flew out.

He then froze in his tracks, feeling a little uneasy upon seeing the people with Darren.

Sensing this, Darren made the introductions. "These are my friends, and they are here to help us fight against the Fire Kylin."

The old kylin didn't say anything. He only continued to size them up, taking note of how powerful Darren's friends were. He couldn't help but wonder if bringing them with him would cause trouble in the long run.

Of course, his doubts didn't have anything to do with not trusting Darren. After all, he was the prince's good buddy. But if Darren was threatened by them, then these people could pose a problem later.

"Old kylin, if you won't let us in, then we'll have to leave with Darren," Augustine said, rather impatiently.

After some deliberation, the old kylin chose to put his trust on Darren and his companions.

"You are Darren's friends, so you are distinguished guests of our Water Kylin Clan. Please come in."

Everyone then entered the passageway.

"Did your patriarch wake up?" Darren asked the old kylin as soon as they were inside the passage.

The old kylin shook his head. "Our patriarch is badly ill due to depression. I'm afraid he won't wake up until the prince manages to obtain the inheritance."

"What about Finley? How is he?"

"He is in closed-door cultivation for now. I believe he has just made a breakthrough recently, so we dare not disturb him.

Enough about us. How about you? How are you doing? You got everyone worried. You are our prince's good friend. If anything happens to you, we won't be able to bear it," the old kylin said.

Darren shrugged. "I had some business to attend to, but let's go now. I need to see Finley."

They moved along until they finally arrived at the lake where the Water Kylin Clan settled.

Ensconced in this broad, magnificent cave, all the members of the Water Kylin Clan were gathered together. The old turtle man was also there.

The Chief Elder of the Water Kylin Clan then stepped forward to greet them. After hearing Darren's explanation of the story, the Chief Elder shifted his gaze on the gray-haired monkey.

"I thank you on behalf of our patriarch for your help. We used to call each other enemies, but now, we consider you our friends."

The monkey appeared indifferent. "I was only helping Darren. No need to thank me."

"Cut the crap. Monkey, go and bring me some good wine," Barnes snapped. He was sitting with his legs crossed. His air was arrogant as if to display his prestigious status.

The monkey gave him a respectful "yes" before he fetched him a large jar of good wine.
