At that instance, Darryl's eyes reddened with fury. He glared at White Horse, wishing to smash his body into pieces, but he refrained from doing so. He dared not act rashly.
Darryl saw White Horse's right hand pinching Sara's neck tightly. If he exerted more force, his younger sister would lose her life.
Sara was very dear to Darryl; she was one of his closest relatives. How could he watch her getting hurt?
Andy, who witnessed the scene, was furious, but he stopped nonetheless.
Andy felt that they had treated Darryl unjustly.
Darryl had done so many things for the Nine Mainland. He had worked hard to defend Dark Cloud City in the past two days, but what did he get in return? Those horrible people had maliciously slandered him.
How was that fair and just?
"White Horse!"
Darryl glowered at White Horse; he bellowed in his hoarse voice, "Let my sister go now!"
White Horse laughed and smiled slyly with a teasing look on his face. "Sure, I can let her go, but it depends on how sincere you are!"
Then, White Horse's face sank and said coldly, "Disarm and surrender yourself now! Kneel before all of us and atone for your sins. Do you know that Dark Cloud City was breached because of your overconfidence? How many of our comrades and Dark Cloud City's soldiers were sacrificed? And Zoey—you sullied her!"
"We must punish you today!"
White Horse vehemently asserted for righteousness to prevail!
He might have looked like he was doing that for justice, but his heart was filled with joy.
He laughed inwardly. 'Darryl, you are finished today.'
Darryl did not answer him, but he clenched his fists tightly and scowled through his bloodshot eyes.
At the same time, the crowd remained silent; they looked at Darryl coldly.
They were on White Horse's side; they believed that Darryl was guilty and culpable. He had defiled Zoey and caused Dark Cloud City to fall. Therefore, making Darryl kneel before them and confess his guilt was not a big deal.
