The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 1825

“Alright, since we’ve gotten conclusive evidence, there is nothing more to be said… Ian, and you… What’s your name?” Hezti asked, looking at the angry city defense soldier.

Though the city defense soldier was confused, he replied, “My name is Donald Carling, Commander-in-chief!”

“Okay, Donald, you and Ian will punish the three young masters. Give them 40 strokes each.”

Hezti’s calm statement made Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan pale dramatically.

40 strokes?

Is that a joke?

That can kill us!

Lionel instantly panicked and shouted at Hezti, “Who are you to hit us?!”

“I’m the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, and the three of you have just tried to bribe and threaten the city defense soldiers. The punishment for each of these crimes is 20 strokes. The total is 40 strokes,” Hezti explained with a laugh.

As soon as Hezti said this, the city defense soldiers behind him pounced on Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan, pinning them to the ground.

Hezti only continued speaking calmly, “Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan, do you realize I’m here to let you go? To tell you the truth. I don’t want to let you go, but you didn’t violate Dorodo’s laws, and I can’t punish you randomly…”

“But you were so uncooperative, trying to bribe and threaten the city defense soldiers. You happened to violate Dorodo’s law by that. Tell me, how can I not seize this opportunity and punish you?”

“Thank you for your cooperation. If you hadn’t tried to bribe and threaten us, there’s nothing I could do to you. But now… Haha, sorry. Please don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Hezti’s statement confused Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan. Their hearts only had regret at this moment!

If they had known they could get out by doing nothing, they would never have made a scene, bribed, or threatened them. However, no matter how much they regretted it, it was useless.

Ian and Donald were excited.

“What are you waiting for? Do it!” Hezti suddenly turned serious and ordered loudly.
