physical prowess, remained unscathed under a hail of bullets."Skin enhancement No, skin and flesh simply can't achieve that level.""Invulnerable defense, powerful physique regeneration, and monstrous..."Damn you, Darren!! You betrayed the faith of justice!! You are a disgrace to the Navy!! Scum of justice!!"
Behind him came the indignant shouts of anger from the Gion quarters, but Darren simply laughed as he walked out of the palace side hall.
He won't care what others think of him.
Being too concerned with one's reputation will only restrict your actions and prevent you from letting go and giving your best.
This is a world of the strong preying on the weak, governed by the most primitive jungle law.
Darren doesn't deny that there are some people in the Navy who genuinely hold onto their inner sense of justice, and he sincerely respects those individuals.
They are willing to give everything for their ideals and beliefs, to protect what they want to protect, giving up their youth, energy, and even their lives.
Such a person is indeed respectable and great.
This is also a reason why Darren doesn't dislike the Gion district of being "inconvenient."
Because there has to be someone like Gion, a "fool," in this world, that's what makes it full of hope.
But Darren didn't think he could reach that level.
Because the right path is really too difficult.
Darren doesn't have Sakaski's monstrous level of talent, nor does he have the affluent upbringing and background like Gin.
From the moment he first crossed over five years ago, taking one step at a time to get to where he is now, especially in such a chaotic sea as the North Sea... every step he took was extremely difficult and dangerous, like walking a tightrope on a cliff.
So he had to be careful and cautious, wary and vigilant.
Seek as much power, wealth, strength, gain, and status as possible.
And now, it is time to reap the fruits of victory from this war.
Darren thought this way, and quickened his pace.
……
Night falls.
The capital city of Yadis, Vienna, was ablaze with lights and excitement.
Palace, grand hall for guests.
The nobles, celebrities, ministers, princes and merchants of the Yadies Kingdom attended in full dress, toasting with wine glasses.
The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling cast a dazzling glow, reflecting mesmerizing ripples in the guests' red wine.
The guests were in high spirits and enjoying themselves.
“I'm telling you guys, that battle back then was incredibly dangerous. The Germa 66 are truly a wicked army, and their commander, Vinsmoke Judge, is so powerful he’s like a monster…”
On one side of the banquet hall, Cai Ji, dressed in a brand new tuxedo, looked dapper and confident. He swayed with a red wine glass in his hand, boasting endlessly amongst a group of elegantly dressed noblewomen and ladies.
"You guys don't know, the weapons he uses are cutting-edge high-tech. The spear releases electricity that can directly knock out an elephant."
Hearing this, the noble ladies and misses all gasped in shock, covering their mouths with their hands.
"And then"
"Then" He lowered his voice intentionally, making it husky and magnetic, mimicking the way Darren had always sounded, "with a faint smile":
"Jerma Technology's power is indeed strong, but I am a genius who has been tempered by thousands of refinements at the Marine Headquarters. Just one Smoker, Garp, is nowhere near my opponent"
I just casually kicked him, sending him flying over ten meters away.
Facing the majesty of justice, he still wanted to struggle in vain. In the end, I found him too talkative, so I silenced him.
The ladies and Misses all widened their eyes, staring at Cai Ji with sparkling gazes. Their admiration made him secretly pleased.
"Wow, Major Jia is amazing!"
"He truly is a genius of the Marines!"
"A powerful evil army like the Germa 66 was easily defeated by you."
Faced with the praise of the crowd, Jia Ji felt as if every pore on his body was expanding with delight.
...the North Sea is still better....
So many glamorous ladies and debutantes, the finest wine, top-shelf cigars, and a captivating dance troupe performance...
No wonder that bastard Darren has been hanging around here.
As for the truth behind what I just said
Well, when the war broke out, the Kingdom of Jerma was a distance from the coastline, and with sea fog in the way, even the army of the Kingdom of Yadies couldn't see what was happening. Let alone the ladies of high society in the capital, Werna.
Thoughtful of the details, he sipped his red wine lightly, and in a desolate manner, puffed on his cigar, sighing sadly.
Do you know
"I have spent my whole life searching for a worthy opponent, thinking that coming to the North Sea would bring some excitement to this genius of mine. Unexpectedly, I am still met with such disappointment in the end."
All the ladies and misses were even more shocked by his words, their eyes shining as they stared at Jia Ji. They all sighed with admiration.
"Even Lieutenant Commander Lianjia is so powerful, then how formidable will Lord Darren be..."
"That's right, Darren is not only powerful but also handsome and charming..."
"Yeah, yeah..."
As they recalled the appearance of the highest-ranking officer of the Beihai Navy, the young ladies' faces blushed with shyness, while the noblewomen gazed at him with infatuation, appearing to be in love.
Including: ...
No, didn't you hear what I said
Isn't this talking about the genius here Why is it suddenly about that jerk, Darren!
He didn't even show up to the party, did he!
Jiā jì zhōng xīn bù néng rú rǎo qiāi lái, liǎn bù de jīròu chuōchú zhe, liǎn sè zhú jiàn biàn hēi.
He took a hard drag from his cigar, his face full of resentment.
"That...Mr. Kaji"
At that moment, a timid voice suddenly rang out from behind.
He subconsciously turned around, and saw a girl in a white lace dress standing there with a slightly flushed face. Her fair hands were fidgeting in front of her, radiating a shy youthful charm.
What a pretty, pure girl!
He felt as if his heart had been struck, its rhythm slowing to a crawl. His eyes flashed with twin crimson beams.
Love!! This is love!!
His heart screamed frantically.
"That... Mr. Jia, I want to..."
The girl shyly lifted her eyes, glancing timidly at Jiaji, then quickly retracted them in fear. Her cute and clumsy demeanor was like a startled fawn, mumbling softly:
"Contact...phone bug...information..."
She blushed!!
She wants my phone worm contact information!
She must have heard about my "achievements"!
She likes me!!
As if struck by lightning, he nodded frantically.
"No problem, I'll give you my personal phone number right away."
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"No... I...I would like to ask if you know...Darren's contact information" The girl shook her head, her face slightly flushed.
Click!
Adding to the feeling, she felt like her heart was struck by something, stopping abruptly. The red hearts in her eyes instantly petrified and cracked.
In the girl's astonished eyes,
He seemed like a deflated balloon, turning stiffly away. His back was hunched and desolate as he walked to the corner of the banquet hall, where he sat down, motionless.
Two lines of tears, unwillingly, ran down his face.
Not far away,
Gion, dressed in a fuchsia evening gown with a high slit, refused the dance invitation for the fifteenth time. Glancing at Kage, who sat slumped in a corner, emitting a despondent plume of black smoke, she twitched her lips.
She took a sip of red wine, as if remembering something, bit her silver tooth, and clenched her fists.
And on the other side,
Darren also arrived at the port and boarded the warship.
