Chapter 881 The ck-Armored Man''s Past (Part Two)
He fell silent, his eyes bright with grief and hatred. With the ending of the grotesque story atst,
Darren let out a long sigh of sympathy.
"That is a terrible fate," he agreed. "But I''m curious about why that Shirley would treat you so cruelly.
Even if she chose to betray you, she didn''t need to torture you like that. She could easily have just
plundered all of your power and killed you once and for all, instead of dragging it out in such a way."
"I didn''t understand either. So I asked her before I was in," the man said, his tone terribly matter-of-
fact. "Her answer was very simple. She said that Sun liked to have sex with her in front of me, and my
painful look would give him excitement. That''s all."
Darren had seen and heard many mortifying things, but this was too much even for him. His
countenance turned grave and fiery.
"Curse them! I can hardly believe anyone would have such an unfortunate life! And after getting a
second chance, you''ve had to be under the oppression of the Misty Emperor for so long. Even a
malefactor wouldn''t deserve such a tragic fate. You certainly don''t!"
"Indeed? You know, I''ve always liked to imagine the look on their face, when they find out that I''ve
nightmare. Even if I''m much weaker than them now, I''ll still use all my might to make their lives hell, as
much as I can!"
Sighing, the ck-armored man hung his head. "Or, I would, if I could ever break out of the Space-time
Pce. But look at me now, helplessly ensnared by the Misty Emperor. How could I ever dream of
getting my revenge when I can''t even get myself out of this?"
And sorrowful and disturbed as he was by the tale of this man''s misfortune, the important details of the
story had not escaped Darren.
"Do you mean to say that they are still alive? Where are they?" he asked.
"I have begged the lord to investigate," answered the man. "Those two are still alive to this day.
They''ve be the top leaders of the eighteen cities. They''re on a level that was on par with half-step
emperors."
"What?" Darren grumbled.
"How could they have gotten so much power? I have never known any humans of such great power
exist." Darren looked keenly at the ck-armored man, hoping to get more answers to his questions.
"Darren, do not forget that I am also a human," the ck-armored man said mildly.
Indeed, Darren realized that he had forgotten the fact that this man had been a four-tribtion junior
holy warrior in his previous life.

"Well, what happened in the past is past," the man went on. His tears were gone and his voice had
regained its strength. "Let us speak no more of them and turn our attention to the present. Do you have
any n for our escape? It''s all up to you this time. As long as you get us both out of here alive, you
canmand me as you please in the future. But on one condition, however: do not treat me like a
ve! I am done being a ve!"
Hearing this, Darren felt a little embarrassed.
In truth, he had been lying when he said that he could help this man get free of the Soul Control Skill.
Darren''s original n had been to take advantage of him to escape, and to leave him behind as soon
as he''d gotten out. No doubt the Misty Emperor would be furious and kill his subordinate after learning
of his betrayal. By then, however, Darren had hoped to be long gone, otherwise he would be doomed
as well.
However, things seemed to be slowly veering off their original course. Darren could hardly go through
with it now, having learned of the disastrous fate of the ck-armored man.
And after all, the man had only treated him roughly because he was under orders by the Misty
Emperor. In reality, he and Darren had no reason to hold grudges against one another.
Nevertheless, Darren had no intention of revealing the fact that he had cheated him. If he did so, his
indignation, and try to kill Darren for his deception.
With all this in mind, Darren decided to buy some time toe up with a new n. "Don''t worry," he
urged. "And be patient. You have endured long enough to withstand a few more days'' wait. As soon as
all of the preparations areplete, I will let you know."
"Very well, Darren. My trust is in you," the ck-armored man replied. Indeed, he meant every word he
said. He was deeply moved by Darren''s sympathy and indignation upon hearing his miserable story.
As such, he had now begun to consider Darren as a friend, and so he then resolved to reveal any
information that might be useful.
"I should tell you," he went on, "your friends and those elders are locked up in another ce. I''m afraid
they will be in danger after our escape."
Darren was shocked. It urred to him then that he was the first one who had been caught by the
Misty Emperor, and he had lost consciousness during the whole ordeal. He had no idea what else had
happened on the battlefield that day. "What? Tell me more!"
The ck-armored man went into detail, recounting what had be of the battle after Darren had
cked out. Most significantly, he went into detail describing each of the other prisoners who had been
taken.
Darren immediately recognized that they were Scott, Hanson, Mathew and Leighton.
"No, I cannot leave my friends behind. The n has to be changed. I have to save them first if we are
to escape," he dered.
His face was drawn with determination, and with worry, because now the stakes were higher than ever.
Just getting himself and the ck-armored man out of this ce was never going to be easy. But even
if he seeded in that, the Misty Emperor would surely kill the prisoners in his rage. And no matter the
odds against him, Darren could not allow that to happen.
