Jonas felt bitter when he pleaded for mercy; he almost cried. At the same time, he gave Darryl a stern look.
Jonas thought that Darryl was a troublemaker who had made things worse. Zane was only teasing his cousin and took advantage of her. After that, however, things went downhill because Darryl had been too nosy.
"Jonas!"
Tanya's body shook as she yelled at Jonas, "Shut up!"
'Darren took the risk for my sake. How embarrassing it is that my cousin announces that we are unrelated to Darren because he fears death!'
After Tanya told him off, Jonas kept quiet, even though he felt wronged. Then, the two were taken away; they had disappeared from everyone's sight.
Darryl, who saw what had happened, drew in a deep breath. His face was gloomy and scary.
He had wanted to rescue Tanya and Jonas forcefully, but he gave up because he was afraid that he would injure Tanya accidentally in the process.
Darryl scrutinized Zane before he said coldly, "Zane, I have given you a chance. You can't blame me if you're not taking it."
Darryl thought that Zane would give up after he flexed his strength. To his surprise, the arrogant Zane had decided to summon all the soldiers in Green Dragon City Gate to fight against Darryl because the man felt bullied in his own territory.
The crime of abusing one's power for personal gain was simply unforgivable.
"Young Man!"
Zane grinned as he gritted his teeth. "I should be the one giving you the warning. You'll pay a hefty price for minding my business."
Pitter-patter...
Just as he spoke, footsteps drew near from inside the city. Thousands of soldiers made their way to the city gate quickly. They were headed by an awe-inspiring old man in his fifties—he was dressed in black armor.
The older man was Zane's father, the Green Dragon City Gate Garrison Commander, Nathan Xanthos!
