CHAPTER 339 MAKING NEW FRIENDS (PART ONE)

"What the hell! What is that force?" hollered the spectators in chorus as they observed the raging fight

on the sideline.

They backed off hurriedly to keep a larger distance with the two men in the middle of the fight. The dark

gold internal force frightened them to their cores.

Shane seemed to have significantly lost his strength to ward off. In face of the dark gold internal force

darting at him at a fleeting speed, he stood there motionlessly, as he could do nothing but to watch and

wait for his doom. At this critical moment, he felt the call of the God of Death.

This terrifying scene could drive fear into anyone's heart.

Shane was shocked at Darren's capabilities. It seemed that he had underestimated him as he did not

expect that Darren would be able to use such a great force at the very beginning of the fight. According

to his estimations, he would be defeated within just an hour even if he fought back with all the might he

had had in his prime. In face of such a dreadful force, Shane did not dare to fight back directly. He

focused on the defense, and kept dodging aside to escape the fatal force and sought opportunities to

attack whenever it was possible.

'I'm a loser. There is not the smallest chance for me to win him.

He's just playing games with me. How ridiculous!'

Shane thought, as the feeling of bitterness surged into his heart. In the heat of the moment, he realized

he was much inferior than his powerful opponent.

At last, Shane could not help but resist automatically with the primitive instinct of survival, regardless of

all the fighting skills and techniques. The threat of death had settled in him, and never departed him

during all the time.

"Boom!" A huge noise resonated.

Darren swiftly leaped forward toward his enemy at a lightning speed, and launched another attack of

the dark gold internal force at his flank. The new force overtook the former one and collided with it

before it hit Shane.

The dreadful dark gold force was enforced to unite with another before it could reach Shane.

Meanwhile, a shadow with lightning speed pounced on Shane and rapidly pulled him away out of the

attacking range of the force. Shane had successfully escaped from the threat of the God of Death.

The sudden change dumbstruck Shane. He had no idea what had happened until he realized a

moment later that it was Darren who had saved him. He then turned towards Darren gratefully and

bowed with sincere respect, "You spared my life. Thank you."

"I spared your life only for this time. If you still keep these bad habits of bullying and robbing others, I

will kill you without mercy!" Darren exclaimed, his whole demeanor turning dark and cold as he

regarded him.

"What do you mean? Bullying and robbing others? I admit that you're a capable warrior and there is no

way for me to defeat you. But you cannot insult me! I'm a warrior, not a scoundrel or a robber. I have

never done the things you mentioned, nor will I do them in the future!" Shane roared indignantly, his

facial expression shifting to a disgusted look.

"You haven't done them before?" asked Darren in a confused tone. "Do you remember the disciple

from the Heavenly Palace Sect? You took a valuable thing from him with force, and kidnapped one of

his friends. And then, you harshly tortured him into sharing some private and valuable information with

you, right? Are you really going to pretend to be clueless and say you know nothing about all this?"

Darren continued, his lips setting into a deep frown.

"I understand. That little bastard framed me up. He stole things from me, but I forgave him and let him

go. I didn't kill him because I'm not a ruthless killer. Gosh, I should have killed this cunning man,"

explained Shane angrily. He tightly clenched his fist and his eyebrows furrowed when he realized what

had happened.

Shane sounded so earnest and serious that Darren didn't think he was making up stories. Besides, he

looked like a righteous guy in every respect. As Darren studied him, he began to believe that he was

not the type to bully others. Thus, he was puzzled and wondered whether he was deceived by the

disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect.

"Even if you're speaking the truth, your underlings are indeed villains. They bullied people as much as

they like. Is that how you train them?" Darren asked as he recalled those evil disciples of the Martial

Holy Land.

"My underlings? Who on earth are my underlings? Do you mean those disciples of the Martial Holy

Land? They just carry out some missions I publish in the Holy Land, and I pay them a great sum of

money as returns. There is nothing between us more than that. As for how they conduct the missions,

it's none of my business!" Shane explained patiently his lack of participation in their evil doings.

Darren turned silent upon hearing Shane's explanation. He put his hand on his chin as he engaged into

a deep thought.

At that very moment, a shadow fleeted towards them like lightning. From a distance, they could see

that he was carrying a badly wounded person in his arms.

"Mr. Chu, please forgive me!"

It was the disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect who had been bullied the other day. He knelt before

Darren as soon as he approached him. exclusive content.

"What's the matter?" Darren asked, his eyebrows furrowed and his lips turning into a frown. He had a

bad premonition.

"He is a real bastard. I took him as my friend, but he lied to me. He stole things from others!" the

disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect. said, his voice filled with wrath. He then turned to give the thief a

slap to his face.

"That's it. I understand." Darren's eyes shifted as he came to realize the truth about the whole thing.

"Those disciples of the Martial Holy Land bullied and insulted on the strength of their close connections

with the so-called Shane. I will not let go of this matter easily. Justice must be done! They must pay for

their insults!" the young man said in indignation, as he looked terrifyingly enraged.

"Now I am aware of this whole thing very clearly. It was not your fault. You can leave now." Darren

signaled at the young man to let him go.

The young man repeatedly expressed his apologies before leaving with the man he had brought with

him.

"Well, I think there is a misunderstanding between us, dude!" Darren said to Shane while cupping his

hands apologetically. There was a friendly smile hanging on his face.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, you're not to be blamed for it. I don't think it is a bad thing, however, as

it has brought us to meet here. I admire your martial talent and temperament very much. Why not we

make friends to each other?" Shane replied. He then stretched out his hand towards Darren and gave

him a reassuring smile.

Darren swiftly stretched out his hand and shook Shane's hand, "You're a capable warrior as well. I'm

honored to be your friend!"

"You're too modest, man. You're excellent, much more capable than me. Let's go to have some drink.

My treat!" Shane beamed with a brilliant smile on his face, putting their earlier dispute behind their

backs.
