"Yes, Sir!"
Hearing the order, all Four Seas Alliance members nodded in agreement. Then they escorted Goliry and Frankilda back to the branch altar.
However, at that moment, Darryl walked out with a smile, cupped his hands, and said, "Everyone, wait a minute."
Darryl looked at Goliry with shame in his eyes as he spoke. He had assumed that the woman was killing innocent people indiscriminately, but he had not anticipated that it would be those people who took the initiative to cause trouble.
Darryl did not agree with the Red Shirt Crusade, but he had no animosity toward them. Furthermore, it was because of him that Goliry was caught, so he intended to assist her to make up for his mistake just now.
As soon as he finished speaking, Frankilda and the others, including Goliry, focused their attention on Darryl.
That passer-by had not left yet?
Soon, Frankilda came to his senses and said crossly, "What are you doing?" The branch altar he was in charge of was far from the headquarters. He would not see Lady Tigas for a year unless something significant happened. Lady Tigas announced that every hall that met Darryl should be respectful and not ignore him. Frankilda had also received the orders, but he had never met Darryl.
Therefore, Frankilda had no idea that the man in front of him was Lady Tigas' distinguished guest.
Facing Frankilda's indifference, Darryl smiled and took a step closer, "Well, I just heard that you are from the Four Seas Alliance?" Since they were all from the Four Seas Alliance, things would be much easier.
"That's right!"
Frankilda looked him in the eyes and said arrogantly, "I can't believe you, an ordinary person, are aware of the Four Seas Alliance. Since you know about us, you should stay away, lest you get into trouble."
As he spoke, he could not help but look at Goliry, his eyes wide with excitement.
Frankilda was captivated by Goliry's beauty. He wanted to get back to the hall and feel the tenderness of her beauty. So, he did not treat Darryl with politeness.
Darryl laughed and said, "I'm also a friend of the Four Seas Alliance. I've had a long journey, and now I'm thirsty. Can I go to the hall with you for a cup of tea?"
His words were full of arrogance and contempt.
Darryl frowned as he observed his demeanor, but he still smiled. "You are a Hall Leader, right? I have no intention of hurting you, and I believe you lack the courage to hurt me."
Darryl stood there when the final word was spoken. He appeared ordinary, but he had a temperament that could not be underestimated.
Frankilda became enraged upon hearing that. With a sneer, he said to Darryl, "That's interesting. I dare not hurt you, you say? Who do you think you are?"
Then, he waved his hand and said, "Cut that guy into pieces and throw him into the forest to feed the wild dogs!" Then, he thought, 'Damn it! I'm one of the Four Seas Alliance's hall leaders, but a powerless ordinary man dares to threaten me. If I don't teach him a lesson, how can I face my men in the future?'
As soon as he finished speaking, the two strong men behind him drew their long sabers and walked coldly toward Darryl.
Darryl remained calm as he stood there. Instead, he pulled something from his pocket and asked Frankilda, "Do you recognize this?"
