Lord Of Martial Arts

Upon hearing Darren's report, Dickens suddenly stood up from his seat and grabbed Darren by the collar.

"Are you sure that you are telling the truth?"

"It's true, Your Highness. I felt bored a while ago and wanted to go out for a walk. It was then that I decided to check on the ruins. I wasn't expecting to see Adrian sneaking into the ruins. It was there that he got a strange stone," Darren said.

"Well then, it seems like he wants to keep the treasure all to himself."

"There's more, Your Highness. He also threatened to kill all of you," Darren added.

"He's really courting death!" With his sword in his hand, Dickens was about to look for Adrian and kill him.

"My job here is now done, Your Highness. Please excuse me," Darren said.

"Okay." Dickens nodded his head. "You have done a great job. I shall think highly of you from now on."

Indeed, he considered Darren to be quite smart. Now that the stone had fallen into their hands, they could finally dig out its secrets. But Darren took this as an opportunity to excuse himself instead of prying further. This was what a good subordinate should be.

Immediately, all the other guards from the three forces returned to their respective palaces.

But Darren decided to sneak out once more upon returning to the courtyard.

If Adrian was still alive, he was sure there would be more trouble in the future.

Moreover, if Adrian died, the Roselle Palace would definitely go after Dickens, Ennis, and Maria for revenge.
