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!
“You—”
Jonas covered his face; he was surprised and angered. Then, he pointed at the captain in disbelief. “How dare you hit me? I am the Dokko family’s young master from Middle Terra. You are merely a low-ranked captain and a gatekeeper, yet you dared to do this to me?”
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.
“You’re the Dokko family’s young master? Is that the same family as the talented Kilenc Dokko?”
“Indeed, he’s from the same formidable background.”
The captain panicked after he heard the discussion around him.
‘Oh, no! I’m in trouble. I’ve hit a big shot.’
“What happened?”
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 Commander’s son, Zane Xanthos!
