Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 881

He fell silent, his eyes bright with grief and hatred. With the ending of the grotesque story at last, Darren let out a long sigh of sympathy.

"That is a terrible fate," he agreed. "But I'm curious about why that Shirley would treat you so cruelly. Even if she chose to betray you, she didn't need to torture you like that. She could easily have just plundered all of your power and killed you once and for all, instead of dragging it out in such a way."

"I didn't understand either. So I asked her before I was slain," the man said, his tone terribly matter-of-fact. "Her answer was very simple. She said that Sun liked to have sex with her in front of me, and my painful look would give him excitement. That's all."

Darren had seen and heard many mortifying things, but this was too much even for him. His countenance turned grave and fiery.

"Curse them! I can hardly believe anyone would have such an unfortunate life! And after getting a second chance, you've had to be under the oppression of the Misty Emperor for so long. Even a malefactor wouldn't deserve such a tragic fate. You certainly don't!"

"Indeed? You know, I've always liked to imagine the look on their face, when they find out that I've come back to life. From my very first day back in this world, I've sworn that I would become their worst nightmare. Even if I'm much weaker than them now, I'll still use all my might to make their lives hell, as much as I can!"

Sighing, the black-armored man hung his head. "Or, I would, if I could ever break out of the Space-time Palace. But look at me now, helplessly ensnared by the Misty Emperor. How could I ever dream of getting my revenge when I can't even get myself out of this?"

And sorrowful and disturbed as he was by the tale of this man's misfortune, the important details of the story had not escaped Darren.

"Do you mean to say that they are still alive? Where are they?" he asked.

"I have begged the lord to investigate," answered the man. "Those two are still alive to this day. They've become the top leaders of the eighteen cities. They're on a level that was on par with half-step emperors."

"What?" Darren grumbled.

"How could they have gotten so much power? I have never known any humans of such great power exist." Darren looked keenly at the black-armored man, hoping to get more answers to his questions.

"Darren, do not forget that I am also a human," the black-armored man said mildly.

Indeed, Darren realized that he had forgotten the fact that this man had been a four-tribulation junior holy warrior in his previous life.
