Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 390 The Atonement (Part One)

"Ignorant bastard! You have no idea what I am capable of. I pity you!" With such tremendousenergy, Darren had reduced the notice in his hand to pieces and went on his way forward withoututtering another word to the young man.

"Hey! Stop right there! What are you guys waiting for? Stop him!"

the young man screamed in so much frustration as he saw that Darren was leaving and a group ofsoldiers, instead of blocking his path, cleared a way for him.

"What is that about? How come these soldiers are scared of him?" The woman grew curious as shefixed her eyes on Darren's receding figure.

Just as she murmured to herself, she suddenly noticed that the young man beside her had frozen.He just stood there, motionless with nothing but his Adam's apple moving up and down.

"What a powerful sword intent!"

Everyone present, aside from the woman, felt like an extremely sharp sword was being held againstevery inch of their thick skins. It was so strong that they were deeply convinced that if they made asingle move or even just flinch from the pressure, it would tear their flesh and they would bereduced to a pile of meat.

Darren unleashed such a formidable sword intent in a rather casual manner that it shockedeveryone present to their cores. It also made that young man realize that Darren was actually apeerless warrior that he would worship all his short life.

"I... am sorry, sir"

Darren finally faded away from everyone's sight and along with his disappearance, the powerfulsword intent also vanished into the thin air. The young man could no longer hold himself togetherand collapsed on the ground, kneeling in the direction where Darren had gone to. He expelled abreath he did not know he was holding.

The ordinary people, who couldn't feel the sword intent, were baffled when they saw the group ofsoldiers standing there motionless with faces pale as white sheet. They observed them nervouslyand intensely as they could not understand what had actually happened.

"The young master of the Governor's Office, who is a warrior of the Wonder Realm, kneeled becauseof that young man?"

"That young man must be somebody. He even made the young master scared, which is quite rare tobe seen.”

The young man of the Governor's Office, hurriedly stood up and regained his composure. Then, hetold the confused beautiful woman what he had felt earlier. As he explained it to her, her curious,gorgeous eyes grew worried. Only then did she realize that their lives were at a great risk momentsago.

"So he must be a powerful swordsman, and we just crossed him. What should we do now to atonefor our misdeed?" the beautiful woman quietly murmured to herself, looking really concerned andtense.

"It was my fault for looking down upon him. We have to replace and recruit him. If I fail in recruitingsome geniuses in the city, my uncle will be blamed.” The young master sighed in great frustration.His eyebrows were furrowed and his lips were set into a deep line. He blamed himself for notrecognizing a warrior with such great power.

"But you just...”

"It will be okay. I will apologize and atone to him for my disrespect. Despite what I have done tohim, he still chose not to kill me. And that tells me something about him. I think he is kind in hisnature. If I can apologize to him wholeheartedly, I think he will forgive me. Furthermore, this isabout slaying the demonic monsters, which is much more important than any form of personalgrudge. I also have reason to believe that is the reason why he is here. I think he will let thisunpleasant encounter slide.”

"I think you are right. We cannot do something like this ever again, belittling someone. We shouldalways be respectful of other people. He looks younger than any one of us, but he is a warrior withability beyond comparison. How could I miss it?" the woman pondered. She was in her earlytwenties, but she was already in the Wonder Realm, something that she was quite proud of. Sheheld her head high as she had believed that she was a genius until her encounter with Darren amoment ago. She suddenly realized that she was nothing compared to that young man.

Darren found a random inn to stay after he had left those soldiers. He actually did not hold muchgrudge for what had happened to him. There was absolutely no reason for him to launch a killingspree. After all, they were just people. Arrogant as they were, they did not deserve to die.

He had stayed here for two days. On the third morning, when he got out of the inn, he found thatthe entrance was blocked by a large group of people.

He joined the large group of people to see what the commotion was about. He followed thedirection where everyone was staring and saw a half-naked man, carrying a bunch of thorny vine onhis back while a plaque that read "Please forgive me" was hanging from his neck.

Darren's eyes shifted from confusion to clear recognition as he noticed that this young man wasnone other than the one that had despised him a couple of days ago.

At that moment, their eyes met and the young man also saw Darren staring at him. He immediatelybowed down and said, "Sir, I crossed and disrespected you a couple of days ago, and now I am hereto atone for my misdeed. Please forgive me, sir!"

"Just go," Darren said indifferently and then he walked away slowly from the scene, without takinganother glance at that young man.

At that moment, that beautiful woman standing beside the young man also stepped up and salutedDarren, "Sir, your cultivation base is too powerful that we did not see it the other day. Please forgiveus for what we have done.”

Darren merely took a glance at her indifferently and then said in an ice cold voice, "A lady shoulddress in a decent manner. You may want to pull up your neckline because I am not buying it."When she heard Darren's explicit and demeaning comment, the woman blushed all the way to herneck. She was indeed trying to provoke Darren with her beauty as she was quite confident with herappearance and charm. However, not only did Darren choose to ignore her, he also explicitlypointed out her intention, which gravely embarrassed and angered her at the same time. Despiteher mixed feeling, she dared not shoot back at Darren. Thus, she could only stand there awkwardly,speechless.

"I am really sorry for what we have done, sir. Please give us a chance so that we can repent.” Seeingthat Darren was about to leave, the young man fetched a thorny vine from his back and whipped hisbody with full power. Within a matter of minutes, most of the bare skin on his upper body hadturned bloody. Every onlooker cried out in shock and many of them turned their heads away toavoid seeing such a brutal scene.

However, despite causing quite a scene, Darren still continued to leave without even turning hishead to look, which disappointed the two of them gravely.

If they could not replace a powerful warrior for the meeting, then the Governor of this city, who wasalso this beautiful woman's father, would be forced to resign from his post. Furthermore, it washighly likely that he would be punished for it. Thus, both of them regretted their action when theyfirst met Darren deeply. It was not easy to come across a powerful warrior, yet when they did, theypissed him off and pushed him away because of their stupid arrogance.
