Chapter 1204 Bowing Heads

Darren and Lindsay searched for the power nearest to them.

In a flash, they reached their destination.

It was a manmade clearing in which many wooden houses had been built.

"Intruder alert!"

A group of gangsters warned when they sensed Darren's and Lindsay's powerful aura. They immediately flew toward the trespassers and surrounded them.

"Ask your leader to come out, or we will kill you all," Darren threatened.

"Humph! Who the hell are you, moron? How dare you try to intimidate us?"

"How dare you!" Irked by his insolence, Lindsay stretched her hand and sent a surge of god's power that decapitated the offending gangster.

"Kill them!"

Rage coursed through the other gangsters when they saw their companion's head roll on the ground. They roared as they lifted their weapons, intending to attack Darren and Lindsay.

"Stop!"

a short, fat man with a grim face ordered as he flew out.

"Ha-ha-ha! Pal! Are you Darren Chu? I'm Jake Ni. It's nice to meet you finally." The man laughed heartily.

"Yes, I'm Darren, but don't call me your pal," Darren replied sternly. He figured that this man was the leader.

"I've heard a lot about you. What are you doing here, sir? Are you angry because I didn't congratulate you in person?"

"Cut the crap. I'm here for only one purpose. Submit to me and become my believer, or I will kill you. Choose one." Darren didn't bother to negotiate with him. After all, which bandit in this forest wasn't cruel and vicious? With that logic, he didn't think he needed to show them any mercy. Then again, in the Tussle Region, killing was inherently a way of life. As such, no one could be considered 'moral' as everyone alive would have blood on their hands. This was one reason why Darren would not hesitate to kill anyone.

"Humph!" The smile disappeared from Jake Ni's face when he heard Darren's threat. He replied coldly, "Don't be so egotistic. Do you think you can defeat me just because you took care of Tim? You should be grateful that I didn't kill you the minute you threatened my people. Now, leave, or you'll die."

The corners of Darren's mouth lifted in a disdainful smile. In the next moment, his figure disappeared.

"So you've decided to attack, is it?"

Jake Ni didn't expect him to act so fast.

"Leaders, the Defiant Master is in my area. You can do whatever you want." Before the fight began, Jake Ni secretly sent a message to the le

anced significantly in each level. A warrior at the middle-level of the Star God Realm could easily kill a hundred warriors at the low-level.

Since Darren faced four mighty warriors at the middle-level of the Star God Realm, there was a slim chance that he would win. He was no match for them because of the vast realm gap.

"Ha-ha-ha, leaders don't be angry." Darren was silent for a moment, but then he laughed as he tried to pacify them.

"Defiant Master, it's too late to show respect. It won't save your life."

"Please listen to me. We had no choice but to kill him," Darren justified as he pointed at Jake Ni's body.

"Really? Tell me. What was the reason?"

"Very simple. I have just built my force and wanted to collaborate with you and help you make a fortune. But, when I asked to meet you, you wouldn't consider my request. When I took action previously, I hoped that I would catch your attention.

However, you were still indifferent to me. This is why I decided to catch your attention in such a ghastly manner. It was the only way to get you to come to me. In fact, my purpose is very simple. I just wanted to meet you. I hope you all don't mind," Darren said unhurriedly.

His explanation seemed reasonable, and it piqued their curiosity. And so, they asked, "Why were you so desperate to see us? You'd better give us a good reason, or you're screwed."

"Calm down, guys! I'm new here, and I am in search of someone powerful to follow," Darren said.

"Fuck off! Who do you think you are? You are nothing but a weak Defiant Master. You don't deserve to be our subordinate. Kill him!"
