Darren's decision to fight to become the new leader of the city caught Guillermo by surprise. He was slightly worried, although he did not show it.

"Sir, are you going to challenge the current governor in person?" asked Guillermo.

"Of course. I need to defeat the governor in order to claim his position and gain the faith of other Defiant Masters," Darren replied calmly.

Guillermo hesitated, then said, "Well... Unless I'm mistaken, the governor of the city is no weaker than I am. So if you personally challenge him, then I'm afraid..."

He trailed off, but his meaning was clear—he thought it was impossible for Darren to win against the leader of the city.

Guillermo was a powerful warrior, comparable to a seventh-stage Heavenly Destiny Emperor. On the other hand, Darren was only comparable to a fourth-stage Heavenly Destiny Emperor. The difference in strength was too great to overcome. If the governor was at least as powerful as Guillermo, then Darren would have no chance at all.

The black-scaled creature also spoke up. "Sir, it's too difficult. Let's not even talk about the governor yet. First you have to beat that giant, and he seems very strong..." Like Guillermo, the black-scaled creature trailed off, but he was obviously also trying to persuade Darren not to engage in battle.

Darren gazed calmly at his companions. "I agree. It will be extremely difficult. But it doesn't mean that I can't succeed.

est to look at warriors over a time span of a hundred years," the servant explained. The servant could see that Darren and his companions were determined to challenge warriors until they died or won the chance to challenge the governor himself. He decided it would be best to be honest with them, as they could be here for a long time, and it would be unwise to anger them.

"I see," said Darren slowly. "We didn't know about that rule. Very well, obtain as much information as you can, and I promise we will stop making things difficult for you." The servant bowed to Darren.

"Yes, sir. Please wait a moment," he said anxiously. The servant rushed into the inner room and pulled out a thick book from a shelf. Written on the parchment was information about all the challengers who had competed over the past hundred years.

He hid the book under his cloak, then went back to the table. He slipped the book to Darren, who nodded at him and stood abruptly. Without a word, Darren left the restaurant, with Guillermo and the others trailing after him.

The servant who had waited on their group did not dare to stop them, but as soon as they were gone, he rushed towards the shopkeeper. "Boss, they didn't pay for their meals," he said, sounding upset.

The shopkeeper scowled. "Humph! Those guys look like they'll be difficult to deal with, but I'm not a person to be trifled with, either. Go and inform Master Malachi of what they did." While he did not dare to directly provoke Darren and his group, he still wanted to hold them accountable, so he decided it would be best to report the matter to the city guards.
