The centurion, Ian’s face instantly darkened once he said this. Even so, he did nothing to Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan.
“Sir…” The city defense soldier was so angry that he could not help wanting to rush into the prison immediately and teach these three so-called rich heirs a lesson.
Ian said, “Don’t argue with them. They’re scoundrels and scumbags. We city defense soldiers aren’t scum like them! We must observe discipline and not violate it.”
“You’re right, Sir…” The city defense soldier took a deep breath and lowered his head.
He was angry, but he knew Ian was right. He must not violate military discipline by hitting a prisoner no matter how angry he was.
However, footsteps suddenly came nearer at that time. Besides that, the lights in the underground cell lit up one by one.
It was none other than Molie who came to the prison.
Molie led the way with Dora at his side, and several city defense soldiers trailed behind them.
Seeing the arrival of Molie and the others, Ian quickly stepped forward with the city defense soldier beside him and raised his hands to salute.
Molie nodded slightly and planned to walk by when he suddenly noticed the spit on Ian’s armor.
“What’s that?” Molie asked, pointing to the spit on Ian’s armor.
Ian snapped to attention and reported, “Commander-in-chief, Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan refused to submit to custody, made a scene in the prison, and tried to bribe us. When we didn’t accept the bribe, they swore at us, threatened our family, and spat at me…”
Molie smiled as he heard Ian’s report.
“I see. Got it. Open the cell door and let the three of them out,” Molie said quietly.
He found it hard to believe that Molie would let Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan go free when they refused to submit to custody, tried to bribe them, and made threats.
“Just shut up and follow the commander-in-chief’s orders!” Ian was also angry, but he chose to follow Molie’s orders and opened the cell door.
