"Darren!"
Tanya was very anxious; she continued to tremble. Her face was concerned as she was worried about Darry. She shouted, "Go, quickly! This has nothing to do with you! Just go, quickly..."
Tanya was reluctant to see Darryl get into trouble because he stood up for her. They had only met by chance, like two duckweed that drifted nearby.
However...
Darryl stood there quietly as if he had not heard Tanya; he looked at the soldiers who had surrounded him, but his stern expression did not waver.
"Young man!"
The garrison soldier captain observed Darryl and said coldly, "You're quite courageous. How dare you challenge Mister Xanthos! If you know what's good for you, you should surrender now lest you suffer later—"
Darryl interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
"You are the captain who guards the city gate," Darryl said with an icy tone. "I admired you for what you did, but I didn't expect that you would help Zane bully an innocent person. It's regrettable for the people to have you unethical people guarding the Green Dragon City Gate."
Darryl looked solemn when he said that.
That was right. It was the same captain who had slapped Jonas and won praises from the crowd. In the blink of an eye, the same captain helped Zane capture a girl in broad daylight. Darryl had retracted his praise for him.
'What?'
The captain was stunned to hear Darryl say that. Then, he chuckled and said contemptuously, "You're just a man who doesn't know your place! Who do you think you are? Do I need your appreciation?"
The captain stopped talking, and with a wave of his hand, he and the other soldiers charged toward Darryl.
F*ck!
Darryl was furious. He did not want to waste time in more words, so he mustered his internal energy and greeted the charging soldiers.
"Darren, no—"
Tanya panicked; he wanted to persuade Darryl to leave, but Zane covered her mouth before she could say anything more.
"Miss Synder," Zane said with a smile. "Why do you care so much for a man who doesn't know his place? Is he your follower? If he is, then I'll help you to teach him a lesson. He ought to know his place and who he shouldn't offend in the future."
