Nobilis of War
Chapter 1205 The Hunting Plan

"Wait!" Darren raised his hand and said, "Guys, I sincerely want to join you. And I have brought you some gifts. Please have a look before you decide." Then, he quickly pulled out some bright fragments from his Space Ring.

"What?!"

"These are the components to cast the level-seven divine weapon!"

The four people couldn't believe what Darren had presented to them. Even the gangster leaders stared at the fragments, their eyes full of longing.

Once Darren had acquired the fragments to cast his level-nine divine weapons, he no longer needed the material for the level-seven divine weapons. However, these fragments were highly coveted by these gangsters.

Splash!

Now that he had caught their attention, there was no need to keep the components on display. And so, he returned them to his Space Ring.

"Hand them over to me!" the leader shouted.

He was dying to possess the fragments.

"Ha-ha. Take it easy, sir. We came here to gift you the fragments. But first, you have to accept me," Darren said.

"Don't dream of it! We will kill you and take the fragments!"

"Humph, my death won't benefit you. I have enough material to make hundreds of level-seven divine weapons. Kill me, and all that material will be destroyed. I will comply once you've carefully considered my offer." By revealing that he had a large quantity of material, he could guarantee that these gangster leaders wouldn't kill him without thinking.

All he had to do was successfully negotiate his way out of this crisis. That would buy him enough time to deal with these gangsters in the future. Darren waited patiently. The silence in the clearing made it apparent that the gangsters were using their spiritual sense to discuss his conditions.

The leaders knew that they couldn't take the Space Ring by force. Once it was broken, everything inside it would be destroyed.

"Do you really want to join us?"

"Yes. I'm not lying to you, guys. Some bad people were chasing me, which is why I hid in the Tussle Region. Unexpectedly, I met Tim, who also tried to kill me. That is why I had to take over his territory. Then I learned that you four are the absolute kings of the forest. I am in awe of you and would like to be on friendly terms," Darren appeared sincere, as he explained.

"What do you think?" one of the leaders asked another one through his spiritual sense.

"We should pretend to be his friends first. After he gives us the treasure, we'll see if he has any other use. If he can't continue to provide us with more, we'll kill him then." "You are right."

"I agree with you. As for how to divide the treasure in his Space Ring, we will discuss it after we go back."

The four leaders reached an agreement by talking to each other with their spiritual sense.

"Well, since you are so sincere, we will allow you to take over Tim's position. Tell us your name."

"My name is Darren Chu."

"Okay, Darren, listen carefully. We now appoint you as King Darren, and you own the territory for three hundred kilometers around. Our order comes into effect immediately." "Thank you. That is a very generous offer." As the gangster leader looked like he was making an important announcement, so Darren played along.

"Give us your treasure. This is your first assignment."

"Yes."

Darren waved his hand at once and released enough glittering fragments to create a hundred level-seven divine weapons.

Lindsay, who had been quiet this whole time, appeared puzzled. She used her spiritual sense to communicate with Darren. "Are you silly? You have given them so much fragments at one go. Aren't you afraid that they will go back on their word and kill you? What's more, it's a pity that you freely gave them such a valuable gift."

"You don't understand. This is only a temporary exchange. I'll get the fragments back after a while."

"How can you be so sure? They're at the middle-level of the Star God Realm."

"I won't do something if I weren't absolutely sure."

"Well, still, my heart aches. That is a lot of treasure to give away." Dissatisfied with his response, Lindsay didn't speak anymore.

"Darren, didn't you claim that you had enough material to make hundreds of level-seven divine weapons? It seems that you're withholding. Do you want to be friends with us?" a strong leader remarked as killing intent surged within him.

"I wouldn't dare to withhold anything from you, sir. The rest of the fragments are still in the process of being produced. It may take a few years for the remaining material to be formed and delivered to you. Please wait patiently."

Darren intentionally revealed that he had a way to produce the material as it would earn him more time. The gangsters would be less likely to harm him if they wanted a steady supply.

"Well, I believe you this time. In one year, you can make another contribution. Consider it as a protection fee. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

"Understood. Thank you all."

After collecting the material, the gangster leaders left.

"Alas! I thought you had some secret skills to kill a warrior at the middle-level of the Star God Realm. I didn't expect that your unique ability is to bow your head to buy time." Lindsay's lips curled with disgust as she taunted Darren.

"Do you really think I'm omnipotent? I have only been cultivating for a short time in the Primitive Wilderness."

"Okay. I won't tease you anymore. Feel free to return to your cultivation now," Lindsay said with a deliberate disdainful smile.

"Go back to my cultivation? Who told you I was going to do that?" The mischievous sparkle in Darren's eyes revealed that he had other plans.

"What are you going to do?" Curiosity coursed through Lindsay when she saw Darren's expression.

"I'm going to kill all the gangster leaders who are at the low-level of the Star God Realm."

"Are you crazy? You have barely joined them, and you are going to start a battle with them? You'll expose your true intentions. Do you want to die?"

"You are so simple-minded. In two hours, there will be a perfect opportunity to kill the leaders who have low strength. Of course, if they are willing to submit and become my believers, there will be no need to kill them."

"Nonsense! Don't stir trouble if you can't clean up the mess." Lindsay rolled her eyes at Darren.

"You are too stupid to understand this. If you're afraid, go back by yourself. I'll go alone." Darren didn't bother to explain anything else to her. A split second later, he disappeared.

"Hey! Wait for me." Lindsay followed him anyway.

Two hours later, Darren and Lindsay appeared on a manmade road.

"Hey, are you crazy? This is the path that the gangster leader, Amos Tu, would pass through. Are you sure you want to do this?" As she had studied the information about the distribution of various forces before, she knew who Darren was going to attack.

"Don't talk too much. Just wait and see."

Hardly had Darren's voice faded, then a bald man slowly appeared in their line of sight.

"Damn it! The fragments that I got are only enough to cast one level-seven divine weapon. I have done so much for them over all these years. I can't believe it!" muttered Amos Tu, the leader of a group of gangsters.

"Hey, bald man. Stop!" Darren flew forward and stopped in front of Amos Tu.

The insult was sufficient to aggravate Amos Tu. His expression soured.

"Humble bastard, how dare you block my way? Do you want to die?" Amos Tu was so enraged that he could not help curse Darren.

"Don't be so mad. I have something that will please you. But since you don't want to see me, I won't bother you anymore." That said, Darren turned and to leave.

"Stop!" Amos Tu guessed that Darren must have more treasures on him. His sudden appearance told Amos Tu that Darren wanted to make a deal. Perhaps the young man was afraid of his power and wanted

to make friends with him. This was the perfect opportunity to gain more treasures. And so, Amos Tu threatened, "Give me some of your materials, or I will attack your territory tomorrow."

"I don't have fragments on me now. But there is a way you can get what you want." Darren used Amos' greed to set his trap.

"What? Tell me how!"

"We'll steal it. If we work together, we can beat whoever we want except for the four major leaders." Darren implemented the first step of his hunting plan.
