Tanya groaned and froze on the spot.
However, she was not angry because her cousin had stepped out of line.
Darryl chuckled discreetly.
He also cracked a faint smile; he was secretly pleased.
Jonas had finally hit a snag. He had brought it upon himself because he had been too arrogant.
At the same time, Darryl sent the captain a look of approval.
It was unexpected that the small Green Dragon City Gate would have such an upright soldier on duty!
âYouââ
Jonas covered his face; he was surprised and angered. Then, he pointed at the captain in disbelief. âHow dare you
hit me? I am the Dokko familyâs young master from Middle Terra. You are merely a low-ranked captain and a
gatekeeper, yet you dared to do this to me?â
Jonas was in a rage. He had always been treated with care and respect as the dignified young master, but the
captain had felt no qualms when he hit him. He felt a burning shame as if he had been insulted.
Whoa!
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
âYouâre the Dokko familyâs young master? Is that the same family as the talented Kilenc Dokko?â
âIndeed, heâs from the same formidable background.â
The captain panicked after he heard the discussion around him.
âOh, no! Iâm in trouble. Iâve hit a big shot.â
âWhat happened?â
Suddenly, a voice echoed from inside the city gate. Then, a group of people led by a young man dressed in white
slowly approached them. The young man had a handsome face, and he was unspeakably suave.
He was the Green Dragon City Garrison Commanderâs son, Zane Xanthos!
âMister!â
The soldiers saluted nervously when they saw Zane. As the son of the respectable Green Dragon City Garrison
Commander, Nathan Xanthos, who had been in service to guard the Green Dragon City for decades, Zane was
somewhat influential in Green Dragon City.
âMister!â
The captain walked forward quickly and spoke in a cautious tone to Zane, âIâve just hit someone I shouldnât have;
Iâm willing to take any punishment you deem necessary!â After that, he pointed to Jonas and narrated the whole
incident to Zane.
After he finished, he stood there and trembled nervously.
It was utterly silent around the city gate.
Everyone believed that the captain would get into trouble with Zane.
Darryl stood there as looked at Zane quietly; he frowned discreetly.
Darryl had thought about it. If Zane punished the captain for not giving priority to Jonas, then he would have to
question the Green Dragon City Garrison Commander about how he had taught his son.
Zane laughed heartily.
Then, he smiled and said, âItâs no big deal. Youâve just hit a smug young master.â
The commander sighed in relief. Finally, he was no longer worried about getting judged for his actions.
Darryl smiled and nodded his approval.
âIâm glad that he did not let me down.â
At the same time, everyone around whispered and praised Zane for his wise judgement.
âYouââ Jonas was ashamed and angry. He stared at Zane speechlessly.
âThis kid! How dare he do this to me when heâs only the son of the Green Dragon City Garrison Commander! Iâm so
pissed!â
Suddenly, Zaneâs eyes lit up as he walked forward with a smile on his face.
Everyone had their eyes on him. Then, when he stopped, everyone watched him silently!
Zane headed straight toward Tanya!
