Chapter 717 Refusing To Join (1/2)

”Yes, that Emperor Weapon is a good match for Darren.” All three men looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

”No, I don't agree. You should go now.” With a resolute expression on his face, Lord Donald directly rejected their suggestion without asking for Darren's opinion.

”As I said, it is all up to Darren. Lord Donald, you don't want to decide by yourself for Darren, do you? Let him speak for himself,” one of them said in a calm voice looking from Lord Donald to Darren.

”Darren, join the Cross Expeditionary Force, and you get one Emperor Weapon. What do you say?”

After several times of being asked, Darren didn't reply. He was thinking about the matter and was hesitant on how to respond.

”Don't talk anymore. Only Darren is indeed able to wear the cursed armor, but once he puts it on, he will become a killing machine without any emotions. Darren won't agree even if I don't say anything,” Lord Donald said coldly. It was evident that he was vexed at the moment.

Only then did Darren understand and had a clear picture of what the cursed armor was like—and what it was built for.

”I refuse to join,” Darren verbalized at last.

After all, nobody in his right mind would agree to such an agreement. How could Darren agree to exchange human feelings for an Emperor Weapon?

”Darren, don't believe in what Lord Donald said. The Emperor Weapon is not a cursed armor, but an armor made by an ancient emperor who cultivated blade and sword. It is called the Blade and Sword Armor. If an ordinary person wore it, there would be a certain probability that he would be controlled by the Weapon Soul and become a killing machine. But you are different. Since you are cultivating the blade skill and sword skill at the same time, it is absolutely fine for you to wear it,” said a member of the three great clans.

”Shut up! How many geniuses has that thing ruined? Why don't the elders of your clans destroy it?” Lord Donald asked angrily. His voice was getting louder as the conversation lengthened.

There were at least one hundred peerless geniuses who had worn the Blade and Sword Armor. Without exception, they all became emotionless and only intended to kill people. They all ended up dying during the battles.

”There's no need to persuade me anymore. It's just an Emperor Weapon. I, Darren, will not risk my life for it. What's more, I don't want to help you plunder the resources. Please leave now,” Darren refused again and drove them away. He had come to a final decision, and nothing would make him change his mind.

”Great! Darren, your decision is absolutely correct. It's just a weapon. It's no big deal.” Glad about Darren's rejection of such an indecent invitation, Theodore nodded and smiled.
