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 Tanya accidentally in the process. Darryl scrutinized Zane before he said coldly, "Zane, I have given you a chance.
'Emperor? Is he really the Emperor?' Nathan felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat as cold sweat dripped profusely. "Father!" Zane was anxious when he saw that his father was startled. He cried anxiously, "That's him! Order the soldier to take him down." However, Nathan stood in place like a frozen statue. Nathan felt his mind buzzed; he was stupefied. He thought it was only a rascal who had provoked his son; he did not expect it to be the Emperor. Nathan had been to the Royal City and reported to Darryl about what had happened at the borders. So, of course, he knew Darryl. "Err..." Finally, after he remained stunned for many seconds, Nathan recovered from his shock. His voice trembled as he spoke. It was hard to imagine that an invincible man at the border would be as nervous as a child in fear.Nathan's expression made Darryl chuckle. Then, he said, "Nathan, you did a good job guarding the border. Did you bring so many soldiers to arrest me?" Thu
Nathan's cold sweat continued to drip. Finally, he asked the soldiers beside him, "What happened? Tell me honestly, don't hide anything." The soldier trembled and explained the situation to Nathan cautiously. Zane continued to speak after the soldier narrated the situation. "Father, I only invited Miss Synder to be my guest at the mansion. I have no other intention, but this man caused a scene. He was rude to me—" Slap! Before he could finish his sentences, Nathan slapped Zane on his face without warning! Nathan almost used all of his strength to slap his son; blood started to drip from the corner of Zane's lips. The confused Zane covered his cheek in disbelief. "Father! Why did you hit me?" Everyone else was equally stunned. 'What's going on?' 'Didn't Nathan admit that he did not know Darren? Then, why is he on Darren's side and even taught his son a lesson?' "B*stard! Are you trying to get me in trouble?" Nathan became angrier. He slapped his son a couple more t
Nathan was still vexed. He stared at Zane and said, "Bear this in mind; the next time you do this again, you are no longer my son. I will break your leg and kick you out of the house. Got it?" Nathan had always overlooked his son's wrongdoings.However, the Emperor was there, so Nathan dared not take his son's side or allow his son to behave unscrupulously. "I understand..." Zane bowed his head as he replied feebly. He felt hurt. He thought his father was there to help him, but he had suffered a brutal beating from his father instead. That was too embarrassing! Zane still did not understand why his father, who had always been protective of him, had changed so suddenly. 'Is it because of that man?' Zane thought to himself as he stole a glance at Darryl to get some clues. However, he failed to notice anything special about the man! Zane saw a crowd around him, and suddenly he was reminded of something. There were many refugees from the World Universe. Zane thought that ma
Jonas figured that something was up after he studied Tanya's expression. He exclaimed, "Don't tell me that you're worried about Darren right now; we can't even help ourselves! Why are you worried about someone so insignificant?" Then, Jonas murmured angrily, "Darren deserved it. He thought that he's powerful and he could mess with the Garrison Commander's son. F*ck it! We wouldn't have been locked up had he not angered Zane!" Jonas was furious. If his cousin were not by his side, he would have sworn and cursed Darren. "Shut up!" Tanya shook in anger as she stomped her feet. "Jonas, are you even human? Darren offended Zane to save me. It's fine if you want to keep complaining, but you are not even showing the slightest hint of gratitude toward him." Tanya looked at Jonas in disappointment. She thought it was embarrassing for her cousin, Jonas, as a man, to cave into Zane at such a critical time. He had put the Dokko family to shame. On the other hand, Darren was only an ord
"Mister Xanthos is wise, indeed." Tanya commented as she smiled at Nathan. "You're generous and admirable. it is a blessing to have a good official like you at the Green Dragon City Gate." "Thank you, Miss Synder, for the high praise." Nathan waved his hand quickly with a humble smile on his face. "I'm just doing my part."Then, Nathan gave an order to the soldiers next to him. "Why are you standing here? Hurry and untie them." The two soldiers quickly untied the ropes that bound Tanya and Jonas. Tanya was delighted to be freed and thanked Natha. "Thank you, Sir." Tanya looked at Darryl. "Darren, can we talk for a second?" Mmm! Darryl nodded and followed her. Jonas saw that, and he also went after them hurriedly. "Darren!" They stood next to the flower bed as Tanya said to Darryl gratefully, "Thank you for helping me just now; I was worried about you..." As the Synder family's eldest young miss, Tanya was rather vain. No man had ever impressed her since she was y
Zane was shocked to hear that from his father. His mind buzzed as he looked at Darryl blankly. 'What did Father say? His Majesty? This is the Emperor?' "Nathan!" Darryl stared at Nathan and said coldly, "As a government official, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulder to guard the Green Dragon City Gate, but your lawless and unruly son was committing crimes so brazenly in broad daylight. So tell me, are you guilty?" Thud! Nathan trembled as he landed on his knees. Then, he said fearfully, "I am guilty." Zane also knelt involuntarily; his forehead dripped with cold sweat. He was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. 'Oh, no!' 'I have been yelling at His Majesty? I even threatened to cut his hands and feet and throw him to the mountains to feed the wolves! Oh, no! I've sinned. My life is over now.' Darryl seemed indifferent. There was not the slightest fluctuation in his expression. The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing and gloomy. "Nat
Donoghue laughed. Then he sneered as he looked at Shentel closely. "Since you think that I am an upright man, then why would you want to leave me and make me forget about you?" "I—" Shentel trembled as she gaped at Donoghue in silence. Many things had happened when they were separated. How could Shentel explain that to Donoghue? Donoghue smiled faintly. "You have no answer for me? You lied, right? You think that I am a failure. Do I need to care about anything else when my woman has abandoned me?" Donoghue's eyes flashed with a mad ecstasy; he had completely lost his mind. Then, suddenly, he pulled Debra into his arms. Debra yelped as her body slammed into Donoghue's arms. Before she could even try to struggle, Donoghue embraced her tightly. "Senior Sister, don't be afraid. I will love you very much in the future." Donoghue laughed as his lips got closer to Debra. Debra gave up struggling and closed her eyes in despair when she realized that she could not escape from D
