CHAPTER 715 TAKING DARREN AWAY

"Sir, to whom do you refer?" Darren pretended not to know what the number one law enforcer was

talking about.

With a slight smile, the number one law enforcer, Auberon, said, "I need to know the background of that

kid."

"He's my younger brother. Why do you need to investigate, sir?" Darren replied calmly.

"We are simply following the rules of the Sacred Palace."

At first sight, Auberon felt that Aaron was not a member of the world. It was his duty to examine the

background of any foreign creature in this world.

"Auberon, he is Darren's younger brother. He just mastered some ancient martial skills. How can you

be so serious with a kid?"

Theodore walked forward and patted Auberon on the shoulder.

"Theodore..."

"Don't speak more about this! I am inviting you to have a drink with me since I have just earned my

freedom after a lot of suffering. You won't refuse me, will you?"

Auberon was only a kid when Theodore became famous as the number two law enforcer. Theodore

had once been Auberon's mentor. Later, Auberon's strength surpassed Theodore and even became

the number one law enforcer.

This was why Auberon had great respect for Theodore.

"Okay. Let's return to the Sacred Palace as soon as possible. I believe that the Lord of the Sacred

Palace will be pleased to learn that you are still alive. From now on, there will be one more powerful

man guarding our Sacred Palace. Ha-ha," Auberon said as he burst out with laughter. As he had just

met an old acquaintance after tens of thousands of years, he ignored the other matters.

"Let's go. The lord thinks highly of you, kid," Auberon said as he signaled for Darren to follow.

Then, they all leapt into the air and flew out of the Badlands.

In front of the magnificent palace, lines of law enforcers stood in an orderly fashion. The Lord of the

Sacred Palace, Lord Donald, also came to welcome them.

Of course, this arrangement was not for Darren's benefit only.

The main reason for this display was that Auberon had informed them that Theodore was still alive.

Darren, Theodore, and the others walked forward as Lord Donald ambled toward them.

"Ha-ha, Theodore. I've been looking forward to seeing you ever since I heard of your return," Lord

Donald greeted as he reached them.

Theodore was stunned for a moment. Then he responded, "Oh, it's you, Donald. Congratulations on

your promotion to Lord of the Sacred Palace."

Although Theodore and Donald were old acquaintances, they were not close.

"Come in, please.

Darren, I am thrilled to see that you have returned safe and sound. Follow me,"

Lord Donald greeted Darren with a smile. Darren nodded before walking toward the palace.

In the middle of the palace stood a large table filled with all kinds of delicious dishes and wine.

"Come here, everyone. Please have a seat. Let's welcome Darren and Theodore,"

Lord Donald said warmly as he motioned to everyone to sit down.

During the dinner, Lord Donald mainly spoke with Theodore about what had happened to him and what

had he suffered. He was terribly upset by the stories that Theodore shared.

"Theodore, if you hadn't been framed by the demonic monster, you would be the Lord of the Sacred

Palace. Now that you're back, I'd like to appoint you as the new lord. When do you think it would be

appropriate to hold the enthronement ceremony?"

Lord Donald suddenly asked. Everyone had consumed at least three rounds of wine by now, and were

in merry spirits. His statement silenced everyone at the table.

"Don't say that, Donald. I'm from the criminal clan, so I'm not eligible to be the Lord of the Sacred

Palace. If you continue like this, I will leave at once," Theodore replied. The seriousness he felt

reflected in his expression.

"Ah, Theodore. I was not joking."

"My Lord, I have just returned to my hometown after enduring torture for many years. All I want to do is

check on my clan. As for the position of the Lord of the Sacred Palace, I have to refuse. You have no

right to give the rank to others, do you?"

"Ha-ha, you are right, Theodore. I am indeed not qualified to abdicate. I will have to discuss this matter

with the four great clans."

Lord Donald's words eased some of the awkwardness.

"By the way, Darren, tell me something about yourself. I hear that you are the most outstanding talent

to have existed in thousands of years,"

Auberon turned to Darren as he spoke.

"Darren, you won't be upset with me for putting you in the number nine Badlands to practice, will you?"

Lord Donald asked before Darren could reply to his earlier question.

"How dare I, My Lord? On our way back, the two law enforcers explained your true intentions to me,"

Darren replied politely.

"Well, as long as you don't hate me, it's okay. Come on, have a drink."

Darren toasted to Lord Donald and then chatted with him for a long time. Most of the time, Darren

shared anecdotes about what had happened in the number nine Badlands.

Everyone became interested when Darren talked about the mysterious elderly man.

"Have you met that elderly man?"

The Sacred Palace had detected the breach in the forbidden zone in the number nine Badlands. But,

they had only captured an illusion, not the real appearance of the elderly man.

"Yes, a long time ago. Some clay figurines chased and captured me. When they placed me in a domain

that looked like a starry sky, I found that the elderly man was their prisoner as well..."

Darren recalled the day he had met the elderly man for the first time.

Everyone became very serious when they heard the story.

"Darren, you are lucky to have escaped from the creatures of the Death Palace. You must be careful

not to be discovered by them in the future. Otherwise, even we won't be able to save you.

Then again, according to your description, that elderly man is very powerful. He might be from one of

the Aborigines Worlds," Lord Donald deducted.

When he heard what Lord Donald had said, Darren realized that the clay figurines were from a place

called the Death Palace. But he didn't understand what the Aborigines Worlds were. This material belongs to .

"My Lord, is the Death Palace as powerful as you say? And what is the Aborigines World?" Darren

voiced his doubts.

However, before Lord Donald could answer Darren's question, Theodore, who was sitting next to him,

interjected.

"As far as I know, there has been no such powerful man in the Aborigines Worlds. He was probably

from..." Theodore pointed at the ceiling as he spoke. What he meant was obvious—that the elderly

man had come from outer space.

"Theodore, you might be right," Lord Donald nodded.

"As for the Death Palace, I don't know much about it either. Its whereabouts are a mystery.

I will now ask Auberon to explain to Darren in detail about the Aborigines Worlds," Lord Donald said.

Just as Auberon was about to stand up and explain about the Aborigines Worlds, several figures

barged into the palace.

Everyone was shocked. After all, this was the Sacred Palace. Who would dare to break in?

"Let me explain to Darren."

Three people stood at the entrance. In a flash, one person flew forward.

"How dare you?"

Auberon lifted his spear as he rose to his feet. All the other law enforcers also got ready.

"Auberon, sit down," Lord Donald instructed.

"You, three. What do you want from the Sacred Palace? Why did you break in?" Lord Donald asked

coldly.

"Ha-ha, Lord Donald, please forgive us. We are here to ask you to surrender two people."

"You want someone from me?" Lord Donald furrowed his eyebrows. He clearly did not understand what

they wanted.

"That's right. We aren't here to waste your time. We came here to take Darren and Theodore. I wonder

if you will agree or not."

"Bullshit! You can't simply take people from the Sacred Palace at whim," Ramon cried out. All of a

sudden, the atmosphere in the palace tensed.

At this point, Darren was confused.

He didn't know who these people were, nor did he understand why they asked for him and Theodore.

Lord Donald gestured with his hand at Ramon to calm down. Then he asked, "Why do the three great

clans want these two men?"
