Chapter 176 A Pair Of Bronze Bracers (1/2)

By the end of the tenth battle, Darren had broken the record in the Prison Battle Arena.

After collecting his reward of eight million ink stones, he took Bruce out of the Prison Battle Arena and settled in a nearby inn to prepare for the following day's auction.

Along the way to the inn, Bruce looked extremely frightened and would occasionally groan in pain.

It wasn't until they reached the inn that Darren noticed that Bruce's back was studded with steel spikes. Runes were flickering on the spikes. There was no doubt that it was done to him by the Wei family.

Darren channeled his Spirit Power and pulled out the spikes. After the removal, Bruce passed out and Darren took the opportunity to heal his injuries.

The night passed quickly.

Darren discovered that Bruce's injuries were almost completely healed.

Bruce seemed to have a remarkable ability to self-repair and self-heal at will.

Bruce's eyes flew open, darting towards Darren like dark eagle eyes.

”Relax, buddy.” Darren tried to calm him down.

Seeing Darren, Bruce jumped up on his feet and leaned against the wall. His face was hidden under his unruly hair, and he couldn't bear to look at Darren.

”You saved me from them. Thank you.” After a moment, Bruce spoke with his timid voice.

”Don't mention it, buddy,” Darren responded. ”It was nothing. I just did what I had to do.”

Bruce had never been treated kindly in his entire life, let alone be addressed as buddy. A sour but warm feeling that he had never felt before surged through him.

He huddled up, as if he was lost in thought.

Moments later, he got down on his knees, gave Darren a deep bow and uttered, ”Ma-master.”

Darren ran over to him, picked him up, and said, ”What are you doing, Bruce? We are friends now. You don't have to call me Master. It would just make me think that you despise me.”

Bruce's body froze as he heard Darren's sincere words.
