Chapter 1476 Bury The Hatchet (1/2)

Darren saw the expression of loneliness written on Todd's face; he understood how he felt, more than most.

”Sir, you went against Murray to save me. I don't know how I could possibly repay your kindness and how to tell you how grateful I am,” Darren said, disbelieving. He was deeply moved and thankful for Todd.

Todd shook his head, smiling bitterly, and said, ”As a human being, I think the survival of our race comes before all else. Murray was wrong and wasn't thinking clearly. I did what I had to. I knew both of us would die by the end of the battle. All I could think of was that after I died, I wouldn't feel guilty for Murray's death.

To tell you the truth, even if I had survived, I would have killed myself to make up for it, as a tribute to him. We were as close as brothers, after all.”

Both Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar stood in silence, respectfully. Murray and Todd's friendship had stood the test of time for tens of thousands of years.

”Sir, do you mean that we should treat and cure him?” asked Darren.

”How about this? Xavier and I will take Murray. I will arrange a place far from here for him to be held. In that way, once he wakes up, there will be no chance he will get in your way as any enemy would. As for the future... I will stand by my principles.”

”Do as you must. I must admit that I can't bear to see him die like this. It's just that he is a little stubborn,” Darren said.

Todd's admiration for Darren was even deeper now. Murray had tried many times to take his life and yet he was still so forgiving of him. Darren was a truly admirable being.

”No, thanks,”

a hoarse voice said suddenly.

The figure in black armor then stood up.

He still looked graceful and handsome, despite his pale face.

”Captain!”

Todd shouted, instinctively getting up and standing in front of the rising figure.

”How can you still call me captain?” Murray responded coldly.

”Captain...” Todd said bitterly. ”No matter what you may think or do, you will always be my captain.”

”You are incredibly stubborn yourself. Just call me Murray.” Murray, who had been so ill-tempered and flat, now suddenly grinned.
