A dozen soldiers swarmed in and the leader pointed at Jack as he shouted, “That’s the little bastard! That’s Adolf’s grandson. Get him!”
A few soldiers charged forward to capture Jack.
Jack was frightened and cried, “Why are you taking me? My grandfather is treating your eldest young miss now.”
Darryl noticed these soldiers were different from the soldiers guarding the city. When he heard what Jack said, he understood that those were the personal guards of the Damien family.
“Your grandfather? How dare you mention that old Adolf? He’s the reason our lady’s condition has worsened. Master Damien is furious; he’s ordered for you to be arrested and executed with your grandfather,” the lead guard sneered.
Jack was stunned and shook his head as he shouted, “You’re not making sense. My grandfather is the best doctor.”
However, the guards had not wasted any time as they took out a rope and were about to surround Jack.
Darryl, unable to stand it anymore, rushed over and protected Jack. “Hey! A dozen adults bullying a child, isn’t that a bit much?”
At that moment, a dozen guards stared at Darryl; none of them looked friendly.
“Who are you? Mind your business,” the lead guard scolded Darryl.
Darryl was about to speak, but Jack shouted first, “He’s my grandfather’s patient. He was about to die when I first found him. He has almost recovered after using my grandfather’s ointment.”
