Chapter 589 Who Is Guilty (Part One)


    Resembling a puzzle with a missing piece, Darren''s question baffled thew enforcer in golden armor


    as well.


    After searching the back of his mind for answers, he replied, "I don''t know either, because nobody in


    the whole Sacred Pce knows where the Upper Spiritual World is."


    "Well... It''s so strange," Darren murmured.


    "You used to live in the Bottom Spiritual World, and the setup there was too limited. Unlike your old


    world, there are many strange things and setups in this real Lotnn Continent. You can try to find


    about the ce and see for yourselfter," thew enforcer suggested.


    After that, thew enforcer shifted his gaze from Darren towards the far horizon. As his eyes narrowed


    to a point across the vastnd that stretched before them, he instructed Darren to speed up.


    After flying for what seemed like an eternity, they finally arrived at a pce which was a hundred


    thousand feet tall—unbelievably strange yet surreal.


    In front of the pce, while he followed with his eyes the pinnacle of the towering pce, Darren felt


    himself just much smaller than a tiny ant. It even reached to the point that he felt tiny as a grain of dust


    —almost negligible and close to nothing.


    Aside from the unique feature of the pce, the ancient glorious aura that was exuding from it filled


    Darren with great respect and reverence towards the ce.


    "Hoo, no wonder it is called the Sacred Pce. It is way more magnificent than any other pces I''ve


    ever seen," Darren praised, with his mouth gaped open.


    "Let''s get inside now. We can talk about this after we meet Lord Donald," thew enforcer urged


    Darren, breaking him out of his wondering and amazement.


    Inside the pce, every piece of furniture seemed to be glimmering and glittering in grandeur. Runes


    seemed to have maintained the tranquility of the ce that even Darren''s erratic breathing could be


    heard.


    "My Lord, Darren ising," an old man said to a middle-aged man in a golden robe seated on the


    pedestal throne at the center of the hall.


    "I''m afraid I have to apologize to himter personally," said the middle-aged man. He was none other


    than the famous Lord Donald.


    "My Lord, I don''t think it''s appropriate for you to apologize to such a young man," reckoned the old


    man. He was the same old man who had projected a rule power shadow in front of Darren before.


    "I did misunderstand him. Why can''t I apologize?" asked Donald in a casual tone. He was not ming


    the elder, but waited for him to give him a fair reason for not apologizing to Darren.


    "You have such a high reputation as the top leader of the human race. What you need is authority. I''m


    afraid it''s not appropriate for you to apologize to a young man for such a small and inconsiderable


    matter.


    Besides, he is so arrogant that he hasn''t seen much of the world. He will be much more arrogant if you


    bow your head and apologize to him,"


    the old man articted soberly. It could be seen by the look on his face and the tone of his voice that


    he was no fan of Darren''s.


    Actually, the hidden reason why the old man hated Darren that much was because he got scolded by


    the middle-aged man thest time he worked as the Sacred Envoy. During that time, he felt so


    humiliated and ridiculed that he had turned a lousy eye towards Darren.


    "You are right. Butst time, I ordered him to fight against our enemies at the risk of his life. It was such


    a reckless action that I have made because I was too anxious. This was indeed my fault. How should I


    exin it to him?" Donald agreed and asked the old man''s opinion at once.


    "My Lord, nobody should question your order. Even if there was a small w, any young man like him


    shouldn''t have toin against you, right? Besides, the fundamental cause of the whole incident


    was him! If he hadn''t provoked Eddy, we wouldn''t have undergone such a big crisis with the border


    mutants.


    If we go back to square one about the incident carefully, the young man''s contribution is not enough to


    remedy the wrong he did. I don''t think we need to apologize to him. What''s more, we should punish


    him. Only with proper punishment can he avoid such misbehavior in the future," the old man said firmly


    with a pile of seemingly good reasons.


    "Oh, you did remind me that Darren made a big mistake. I almost forgot it," Donald said as his eyes lit


    up.


    "But we don''t have to punish him. After all, he helped us get through this crisis," Donald added at once.


    "My Lord, I don''t think so. If we analyze the whole thing carefully, we humans wasted a vital method


    that Hiram the Great left to us just because of him. And I know that you know, the witchers can


    suppress the fiend''s body parts for another five hundred years at most. By then, how can our human


    race fight against the fiend before a holy emperor is born? In my opinion, we were forced to use the


    weapon and skill that Hiram the Great had left for us. It was a great crime that Darren hadmitted!"

    the old man said sternly, stressing out that Darren needed to be punished. Anyway, that was what he


    wanted from the start.


    Hearing the old man''s stern tone, Donald slowly nodded his head and said, "You are right. I will scold


    him for a while when hees."


    "What?"


    The old man wanted to say something more, but Donald stopped him. His raised hand was enough for


    the old man to understand that he was already fed up about the issue. Thus, he kept his silence and


    didn''t delve in deeper lest the punishment meant for Darren might end up as a punishment for him.


    ''Just scold him for a while?'' the old man thought silently. It was apparent that he was not satisfied with


    the lord''s discretion, but he didn''t dare to say anything more.
