Darryl used to spar with Mr. Farrer's students back in Sunshine City. The old man admired Darryl's talent so much that he invited him to join the Heaven Light Academy, but Darryl had refused his offer. However, he promised Mr. Farrer he would drop by the Academy one of those days.
Darryl did not expect he would see Mr. Farrer there. He turned to look at Charlene and could not help but sigh in admiration. 'What a handsome woman!' He had traveled all over the six principalities except for the Soaring Eagle Principality. He was surprised to learn that such a charming female commander-in-chief was there.
"Your Excellency Charlene, Mr. Farrer, the two of you came at the right time. Darren colluded with the Blood Hand Organization, and his girl was the one who pretended to be the Goddess of Light. We tried to kill him but to no avail, so would you please join forces with us?" Karum asked when he finally snapped out of his daze. He glanced coldly and sinisterly at Darryl.
Charlene knitted her brows and turned her gaze toward Darryl while Mr. Farrer remained impassive. Then he slowly walked toward Darryl and smiled at him. "Your Excellency, we meet again."
Darryl nodded and said, "Yeah, it seems like fate has brought us together again after our last meeting a month ago."
Everyone was shocked to hear that. 'Darren knows Mr. Farrer? And it looks like they have a very close relationship.'
"Everyone, listen closely now. His Excellency Darren is a rare genius cultivator! I'm willing to bet my life that he's not the type of person you think he is. A misunderstanding must have occurred!" Mr. Farrer said loudly and clearly as he looked around the crowd. He was sporting a severe expression as he said that. Even though he had only met Darryl once, he could tell that he was not an evil person.
By then, everyone's eyes were locked on Mr. Farrer, waiting for him to continue speaking. Mr. Farrer took a deep breath and shook his head. "It's not that I'm trying to defend him. It's just we should all sit down and discuss the matter slowly. There's no need to turn to violence."
Karum frowned for a second while keeping the cold smirk on his face. Charlene stepped forward too and, in a determined voice, said, "Even if he's a rare genius, he's still affiliated with the Blood Hand Organization!"
Even though Charlene had just arrived and did not understand what was happening, she had already decided that Darryl and the Blood Hand Organization must be eliminated. After all, the organization was one of the most wanted groups in the Soaring Eagle Principality. Without giving anyone a chance to respond, she gestured with her slender hand for the ten thousand soldiers behind her to surround the Blood Hand Organization members.
Darryl was shocked by her action. He did not expect her to be so decisive. He felt like crying at how the already bad situation had worsened with Charlene's arrival. Karum was overjoyed; he thought that Darryl would be dead since Charlene was there.
Suddenly, a stream of powerful aura came from the passage and was quickly followed by a dozen figures donned majestic golden armor.
