Nobilis of War

Chapter 136 Discussion (Part One)

When Colin and Lino heard the voice of the Holy Lord, both of them were utterly confused. How could

the Holy Lord give her consent?

After a while, Lino turned to Colin with an inconceivable expression. He walked over to Colin and

asked, "Why do you think this is happening? I only just reported what happened to Darren to the Holy

Lord. I did not expect that she would make such a decision. A pretty hasty decision, if you ask me."

Colin knew how strong Darren was, but never, in a million years, did he expect that their Holy Lord

would get on board with such a huge bet. He knew that Darren was thinking the same thing, so he

turned to Darren and said, "Come on. You and I should go and see our Holy Lord so that we can have Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

a proper discussion before making a decision."

Darren nodded in agreement. Lino also found himself on the same page as the two. They all knew how

important it was that they should talk to the Holy Lord in person about this case.

"Everyone, we need to meet our Holy Lord to discuss the bet in detail. Please wait here for a moment,"

Colin said to the chiefs.

The chiefs could not help but be surprised at what they heard. Did they really want to discuss the bet

with the Holy Lord? Why on earth would they do that? Was there actually a possibility that they would

approve the bet? Was there anything they were counting on?

As they thought of all the things that could go wrong, the chiefs' worries started to grow.

But they had already spoken out, and there was no way they were going to show that they were

frightened by their opponent. Besides, even though their opponent was strong, he was still only a

young man less than twenty years old. They might just be trying to find an excuse to change the bet!

"Humph! Fine! Go ahead and discuss it. But we're only going to wait for you for three quarters of an

hour, not a minute more," the representative of the Ancient Families replied.

At once, Colin and Lino grabbed Darren and flew up into the sky towards the deep area of the palace.

"What? Why did they take that young man with them?" The chief of the Yu Clan said as he furrowed his

eyebrows, apparently upset.

"Mr. Yu, are you frightened? You look very worried. Is it because you think that the young man from

your clan is not strong enough, or are you just so timid that you are actually worried about that young

lad?" The chief of the Ji Clan sneered upon seeing the serious expression on the chief of the Yu Clan's

face.

"Shut up! I am just worried that the Holy Lord wouldn't dare to make the bet!" the chief of the Yu Clan

retorted.

"Hah! If that is the case, then it's okay. Actually all of us should know that the Holy Lord would never

agree to the bet. So they will change the bet. If that happens, we can blackmail them greatly. At that

moment, the one who has the best skills will benefit the most."

"Of course! It all makes sense now. If the Holy Lord does agree to the bet, does that mean they're

going to send us their inheritable magic item for free? Who will even be stupid enough to do that? So,

that way, we can fool the Holy Lord into betting millions of ink stones! That will be enough for each and

every one of our young people! Ha-ha!"

The chiefs of the Ancient Families continued to talk about their scheme. They were absolutely sure that

the Holy Lord wouldn't ever dare to take the bet.

...

Colin and Lino flew as fast as they could, and before they knew it, they were already facing Diana with

Darren in tow.

"Holy Lord, it is so nice to meet you," Darren and the two greeted Diana in chorus.

"There is no point in beating around the bush. Let's talk about the issue now," Diana said calmly.

Darren looked up and saw the face of the Holy Lord relax. For the first time, he was able to get a good

look at her face. She looked like an extremely beautiful woman in her thirties.

"Darren, is it true that Belle is your sister?" Diana asked. Darren and the others found it odd how

casually the Holy Lord was talking. It was so different from her usual tone, and as she started a

conversation with Darren, she actually sounded like an ordinary woman.

"Yes, Holy Lord. Belle is the only one I have left from my family. She was taken away by an elder

master who descended from the sky about a year ago," Darren answered.

"How amazing it is that there are such talents like you two in the ordinary world." Diana nodded her

head in wonder, a praising look appearing on her face.

"Holy Lord, do you believe that Darren has the ability to be as strong as the young men from the

Ancient Families? Is that why you approved the bet?" Lino asked directly, unable to contain his worry.

Before the Holy Lord could reply, Colin stepped forward and said, "Holy Lord, you should know that

Darren was able to pass the supreme disciple election a few days ago. Therefore he should actually be

a supreme disciple now. But he wanted, more than anything to attend this competition, so he entered

the outer part instead."

Upon hearing what Colin said, Lino was astonished. How could someone as young as Darren pass the

supreme disciple election?

Diana nodded her head and said calmly, "Yes, I found out that day as well. To be honest, Darren's

strength and potential have exceeded my expectation. I knew he was strong, but I did not know that he

was that strong."

Colin nodded and thought to himself that the spiritual sense of the Holy Lord must be so powerful that

the moment someone passed the supreme disciple election, she was the first one to find out.

"Darren, I want you to show me your real power. No one else has ever cultivated the skills of the blade

and the sword at the same time. It has always been so dangerous that all the cultivators who dared to

try have died. But not you. You're different. I want to know what unusual experience you had that gave

you that ability," Diana said to Darren calmly.
