Chapter 457 Investigate Kaleb’s Spatial Treasure (Part One)
Darren, who had disguised himself as Kaleb after killing him, was panicking. He had a wild thoughtabout what he should do if he couldn't deliver enough souls of the dead to the young master of theRed Inferno Sect.
Although Darren looked calm on the surface now, his heart was thudding in his chest.
"As my spatial treasure is broken, I can't get them out yet," Darren answered at once.
"Broken? I think you just lied to all of us. The fact is that you can't deliver anything to our youngmaster. As for the matters of where you have been and what you have done recently, I have doubtsabout them," Kaleb's younger brother, who was standing next to Darren, commented instantly. Assoon as the opportunity arose, he would seize the chance to put his elder brother's life in danger.Apparently, the two brothers didn't get along with each other and even hated each other.
"Bradley Yu, you are going too far this time!" Darren snarled. He knew that he had to behave likeKaleb and avoid showing signs of weakness if he didn't want others to suspect him.
After Darren finished speaking, he took a threatening step toward Kaleb's younger brother, BradleyYu.
Of course, Darren would not attack Bradley, because Kaleb's rule cultivation skill was different fromwhat Darren had grasped. If he attacked Bradley, Darren would expose his true identity to others."Stop your quarreling now," the young master ordered sternly. Yet, he appeared relaxed when hesaw Kaleb's aggressiveness. It meant that Kaleb could have finished collecting the number of soulsthat he had wanted. As the young master of his sect, he didn't want to kill Kaleb. Deep inside, heknew how vital Kaleb was to him. Earlier, when he threatened to kill Kaleb, he was bluffing. Killinghim would be equal to cutting off one of his arms. He would not do such a stupid thing.
"How many souls have you collected so far?" asked the young master.
'How many did I collect?’
Darren didn't dare to answer the question.
"Why are you hesitating?" Bradley asked with a sneer when he saw that Kaleb hadn't responded. Hewould seize any chance to challenge his brother.
Darren remained silent. Simultaneously, he used his spiritual sense to scan his Space Ring.Incidentally, he found something that would help him get out of this current crisis.
He spotted a few metal balls in his Space Ring. If he hadn't examined his Space Ring now, hewouldn't have remembered that he had them.
“What are those balls for?
Wait! I seized these metal balls from the soul hunters. They are used to store souls!
I still remember that in the demonic monster domain, soul hunters poached many powerful souls.While some of the souls melted in the small soul pool and turned into green liquid, the others thatcould not be refined in time were stored in these metal balls. I placed the metal balls in my SpaceRing for safekeeping.
Wow, even God is helping me this time!" Darren thought with great delight. This discovery gave himthe confidence to confront Bradley and carry out his risky plan.
"Bradley, you are challenging me in every aspect and at every minute. You show no respect to yoursuperiors at all! I believe that if your behavior remains unchecked, you will become cocky enough todisrespect our young master,” Darren snorted coldly, his voice unusually loud.
"Why did you evade the matter that we are discussing now and talk about something else? You saidthat your spatial treasure is broken. Then, why don't you let Elder Judah check it? Do you dare toallow him?" Bradley retorted as he looked at the old, skinny man beside the young master. Darrenbegan to wonder why Bradley hated his brother to such an extent that he would try to get himkilled at every opportunity.
"That's a good suggestion,” the young master said with a nod. "Elder Judah, please go ahead."Judging from the politeness of the young master to the old man, Darren knew that the old man'sstatus was high.
"Yes," the old man replied and nodded slightly. After that, he prepared to release his Spirit Power toinvestigate whether Darren was telling the truth or not.
Darren was not afraid of any investigation now. Yet, he didn't want Bradley to win so easily. As hisfirst impression of Bradley was bad, Darren decided to take this opportunity to suppress Bradley'sthreatening manner. If Darren allowed him to continue like this, Bradley would sooner or laterbecome a big obstacle.
"Hold on," Darren snarled. "The spatial treasure is my personal stuff. If the young master wants toreview it, then I won't object. However, if I allow others to investigate my personal belongings freely,I will be sneered. I just can't allow that kind of thing to happen!”
Darren's excuse was a bit far-fetched, but it didn't seem to be unreasonable based on hisunderstanding of Kaleb's personality. After reading the memory of the disciple in gray, Darren hadlearned that Kaleb was extremely concerned about privacy, reputation, and honor, which was a well-known fact.
"You mean, even Elder Judah doesn't have the right to review your spatial treasure? Don't yourealize that you have insulted Elder Judah by saying that? Or you are afraid that your lie will beexposed, and therefore, you are protecting yourself at the cost of offending Elder Judah?" Bradleypressed his brother hard. He didn't give up his aggressiveness toward Kaleb at all. He knew he hadto strike his brother while the situation favored him.
At that moment, Darren was aware that he couldn't compromise and let the old man investigate hisspatial treasure. The fiercer their argument grew, the more frustration and trouble Bradley wouldmeet later.
After Bradley made such a comment, the old man became greatly annoyed by Darren's words.'What does he mean by 'he can't allow others to investigate his personal belongings freely’? Eventhe young master will respect me in public. Why can't I investigate his stuff?" the older man thoughtirritably.
