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

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!
The crowd was worried for Darryl.
Nathan was a Third-grade Official who had guarded the Green Dragon City Gate for decades; he was a famous
man. Furthermore, some people said that he was very protective of his son. Darren would be in hot soup for hurting
Zane.
Some of the people there hoped that Darryl would leave quickly.
However, Darryl stood there motionless. He was indifferent and calm. Finally, Nathan arrived with his soldiers.
“Zane.”
Nathan looked at Zane and asked, “Why did you summon the soldiers? What happened?”
Zane yelled anxiously after he saw his father. “Father, I was beaten up. The other party has arrogantly said that he
would teach me a lesson. Father, he’s very disrespectful to you. He’s blatantly presumptuous in our place—”

Nathan was shocked when he realized that his son was pale and injured. He saw red after he heard his son’s words.
‘Who would be so bold to bully my son?’
Nathan comforted his son; he said, “Okay, I got it. Don’t worry, Zane; I’ll avenge you. I’ll crush the person who
dared to lay his hand on you!”
Zane nodded in self-satisfaction after his father assured him. Then, he pointed at Darryl and cried, “Father, that’s
him.”
Zane looked at Darryl with contempt.
‘That ignorant kid who messed with me better be ready to go to hell!’
Nathan turned, and his gaze trailed the direction where his son pointed. Soon, his sharp and murderous gaze
landed on Darryl, and his expression instantly froze!
‘Emperor? Am I seeing things?’
Nathan quickly rubbed his eyes and looked again. He was startled.
