Chapter 1463 Conferring The Title (1/2)

In his early years in the Chaotic Region, Juan had been a ruthless man, killing whoever crossed his path.

However, once he acquired an important status, he became a completely different person. Now, he grew flowers and watered trees every day.

Among the Five Kings, the other four often launched wars, but Juan chose not to participate in any of them. If someone declared war against him, he would usually send over some people to defend. After defeating the offenders, he would send people to negotiate.

In other words, he had grown to become an agreeable man.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given Darren a chance to negotiate and probably would've killed him right then and there.

Yet now, Darren had refused his simple request to become a justifiable king. Juan was left with no other choice!

Therefore, even this new and improved Juan boiled with killing intent.

”Patriarch Darren, with your current strength and background, it won't be possible for you to face any of the powerful forces. If you had agreed to appoint me as king, I would've let you live. But since you don't appreciate my offer, you leave me no choice.” Juan's expression grew grave as he spoke.

”Juan, don't be angry,” Todd suddenly cut in, standing up to rush to Juan's side. ”Darren is from my hometown,” he continued. ”He is like a family in this Primitive Wilderness. No matter what the result of the negotiation is today, you are not allowed to hurt him, or you would be making it difficult for me.”

Then he turned to Darren. ”I know you may be angry with me, but this is the reality of the situation. You are the patriarch of the Chu Clan and the Territory Enfeoffing Emperor, but face it: you don't have the corresponding force to seize the old land of the Chu Clan. Why don't we both make a concession? Trust me, I know Juan. He controls a territory, and the people in the region live and work peacefully. That means he can be a good ruler.

So I advise you to agree to his request. At least, you will have one less powerful opponent.”

Hearing this, Darren lapsed into silence for a while.

Turning to his companion, he asked, ”Roland, what do you think?”

Darren couldn't deny anything Todd said. It was stupid to forcefully protect something when his strength was not strong enough.
