Chapter 1424 The Acting Region Leader (1/2)

Darren's face darkened with fury.

He felt a ferocious swell of rage when Nasir was killed, all of a sudden, before he could finish his words.

”How dare you, you old dogs!” he roared. ”If you interfere with me again, I will destroy your entire Blood Cloud Region!”

He felt enraged and reckless, already beginning to prepare for the worst possible outcome. He vowed that if the law enforcers of the Blood Cloud Palace dared stop him, he would immediately go and seek help from Akbar, Lord Starry Sword, and Lord Feng.

There would also be a few other Superior God Realm masters who would be willing to help Darren if he asked. After all, those big shots still owed him a favor.

If they really didn't care what they owed him, well, they should still help him if only for Yolanda's sake, Darren thought. That way, they could show their respect to Yolanda.

Darren clenched his fists. If he was pushed too hard now, he would certainly call in every favor he could in order to win a fight with the Blood Cloud Region.

In general, ordinary people were not allowed to start a war at the regional level. But Darren was already the patriarch of the Chu Clan. He had inherited the position of the Territory Enfeoffing Emperor. His position was already equivalent to that of the leader of a region. As long as he didn't slaughter ordinary cultivators at will, the Ancestral Land would not intervene even if he waged war.

”Young man, let's talk calmly,” said one of the law enforcing elders of the Blood Cloud Palace.

He had a hoarse voice, and he spoke in a low, even tone.

Darren glared at him. ”Calmly? First of all, tell me why you killed this man! Why did you prevent him from telling me the news about Elsa?” he demanded.

”We don't know who Elsa is,” said the elder patiently. ”We only killed Nasir because he was too greedy. He took the resources we had distributed to the Cloud Refinement Sect for himself. This was reported to us yesterday, and as soon as we confirmed the report, we were ordered by our leader to kill him immediately. We did so, in accordance with our own laws and practices.”

He paused and looked at Darren. ”Do you have any other question?”

Darren was completely unconvinced. His face grew even colder, and he said quietly,

”Do you think I am naive enough to be fooled by such lies?”

The elder did not respond, and Darren said, ”I swear to you now that this will not be resolved unless we face each other in battle!”

He spoke in an implacable tone.

He was certain that he had not misjudged the situation. Something must have happened to Elsa. And it must have had something to do with the machinations of the Blood Cloud Palace.

They had repeatedly obstructed his plans, and now they were lying to him. There was no way to solve this dilemma except by the use of force. He was determined to show them his strength.
