Chapter 197 Stunning Strength (Part Two) (2/2)
Darren went back to check Scott's injuries, and found him already woken up from his coma. To his surprise, Scott was staring at him with suspicion.
”Scott...”
Darren looked down at his body in transformation form—still ridden with scales. He had no idea how to explain this to his friend.
He was fully aware that it would still be easy for Scott to kill him in spite of his severe injuries.
But he trusted Scott, and he knew he would never do anything to hur
expect that that was the reason why Scott was refusing his offer.
”It's just a fruit with healing power. I don't think it is as precious as the friendship between us. You treat me as if I were your blood brother. And I see you the same way. I'll do anything for you no matter the cost!”
Darren meant it sincerely. The boy's words reminded Scott of the time he used to spend hanging out with his brothers when he was young. Darren looked so candid and sincere in saying it, and so Scott could not help but feel touched even though he was a tough man with a mind of iron and steel.
”You're my good brother, Darren.” Scott spoke to Darren passionately. Although this boy was comparatively weak in the level of martial arts, he had already saved his life twice. Scott vowed to never forget it.
”We are good brothers, so please don't refuse me again.” Darren ginned at Scott.
”No, Darren, you keep the fruit for yourself. It will prove to be invaluable to you in the future. It might even be the cornerstone for you to achieve the Grand Realm level. For me, however, the fruit is of less importance. It can only purify my dragon blood to a higher extent. It would be a waste of a precious fruit if it cannot help me achieve the Grand Realm level successfully anyway.” Scott was determined to refuse Darren's offer.
”Achieve the Grand Realm level successfully?” Scott's last sentence captured Darren's attention.
”What do you mean, Scott? You mean you can improve the level of your cultivation base to the Grand Realm with the help of this fruit?” Darren asked, the curiosity plain in his voice.
