Tanya started the car and drove toward the Green Dragon City Gate.
Darryl took a deep breath when they approached the city gate; he felt heavy-hearted when he saw the scene
before him.
He saw thousands of civilians had gathered outside the city gate. Most of those people had fled from the World
Universe. Some of them carried packages, and some helped the old and young in their families. All of them looked
exhausted.
A checkpoint had been set up at the city gate where the fully armed Green Dragon City garrison soldiers were
interrogating those refugees.
The refugees pushed and shoved each other because there were too many people. The city gate was in a frenzy.
“Shut up!”
A captain yelled solemnly, “What’s with the noise? Get in line and come one by one. Don’t blame me for being
harsh if you don’t follow the rules.”
He was loud and intimidating. The noisy crowd suddenly became a lot quieter.

“Why are there so many people?” Jonas Dokko muttered; he looked distraught.
Jonas thought it was not suitable for him—the aloof young master of an affluent family—to stand with those filthy
refugees.
Tanya also frowned slightly.
However, Tanya did not dislike those people. Instead, she was anxious because she wanted to enter the city quickly.
‘How long do we have to queue with so many people around?’
Darryl was solemn.
There were so many refugees, so one could only imagine the tense situation in the World Universe.
Darryl thought about it; he was about to walk forward to try to enter the city.
The situation in the World Universe could not be delayed any longer, so Darryl had to summon the Westrington
Army quickly.
“Darren!”
Tanya turned to Darryl and said gently, “I’ll go and ask if these soldiers can let us through. You won’t have to wait in
line if they let us go first.”
Tanya thought Darryl was also a civilian who had fled from the World Universe, so she decided to help him. After all,
she was a representative of her family and was in Westrington to do some business. She was quite sure that the
soldiers would give her the priority to enter the city.
“Cousin, I’ll go with you,” Jonas yelled and quickly followed her.
Darryl smiled. Tanya was from an affluent family, yet she did not have an air of arrogance at all, and she was quite
kind.
Darryl trailed behind them after he thought that to himself.
“Sir!”
Tanya smiled when she reached the checkpoint. She turned to the captain and said, “I’m from the World Universe,
and I am going to Westrington for business matters. Can you let me through first?”
The soldiers and the people around them had their eyes focused on Tanya.
Nice!
‘She’s so beautiful.’

The captain was stunned by her beauty and temporarily lost his ability to react. Then, after a brief moment, he
recovered from the trance and shook his head. “I’m sorry, my lady. You’ll have to queue no matter who you are.”
As someone who did not hold an important position in the military, the captain dared not disobey the military
command. He stood his ground and made no exception to the request of a beautiful lady.
“Ugh?”
Next to them, Jonas exclaimed, “What do you mean we’d have to queue? Don’t you know who we are? Are you
treating us the same as these ordinary people?”
Then, Jonas took out a few silver ingots with a proud look on his face. “Let us pass, and you can have these to buy
some wine.”
He thought that money could solve every problem.
The captain’s face suddenly changed, and he said coldly, “What do you mean? Are you bribing me?”
The captain did not want to make a scene, but he felt humiliated after what Jonas did—he was angry.
Slap!
The next second, before Jonas could react, the captain slapped Jonas on the face without warning.
For a moment, the place fell in utter silence as everyone was shocked by the incident.
