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 ordinary civilian, but he was not afraid to
stand up for what was right. Tanya thought that Darren was a righteous man.
The two men were vastly different.
“I—”

safety—”
Tanya ignored Jonas.
Squeak!
The door was gently pushed open when they were talking, and then two soldiers walked into the room with a grim
expression.
Tanya and Jonas became nervous, but they were stunned when they saw the people who came in after the soldiers.
Nathan and Darryl had walked into the room.
“Darren, they’ve arrested you too?” Tanya did not know Nathan, so she had her attention on Darryl. She shivered
when she asked that.
However, Tanya was perplexed when she noticed that Darryl’s hands and feet were not bound.
‘What’s the situation? Darren is taken captive?’
Jonas was also surprised. He stared contemptuously and resentfully at Darryl.
“Sorry!”
Tanya was still confused when Nathan walked forward quickly with a smile on his face and apologized, “You must be
Miss Synder from Middle Terra. I am Nathan, the Green Dragon City Gate Garrison Commander. I’m sorry that my
unruly son has offended you, Young Lady. I’ve already taught him a lesson just now. I hope that you will not take this
to heart.”
Nathan was an arrogant man. Under normal circumstances, he would have never behaved so courteously around a
woman.
He had no choice because she was the Emperor’s friend; he could not afford to offend her.
‘What?’
Tanya and Jonas were both stunned. They were stupefied when they spotted Zane outside the door with a swollen
and bruised face.
‘What’s going on?’
The old man was the Green Dragon City Gate Garrison Commander, Nathan? ‘And did he say that he just taught
Zane a lesson?’
‘Was it all because of Darren? What is his relationship with Nathan?’
Err…
A few seconds later, Tanya finally reacted. She looked at Darryl curiously and asked, “Darren, do you know Mister
Xanthos?”
Darryl smiled, shook his head and said, “How can I possibly know Mister Xanthos? He is a righteous man, so he

Darryl did not want to reveal his identity to Tanya. He had just met her, and he had already kept his identity hidden
in front of the crowd not too long ago, so he would do the same with Tanya.
“Yes.”
Nathan quickly nodded in agreement. “My son has always been overbearing and arrogant. Unfortunately, I have
been busy with my official duties, so I didn’t have the time to discipline him. Fortunately, this gentleman took action
today and stopped my son from making another big mistake.”
Nathan knew Darryl did not want anyone to know about his real identity, so Nathan played along with him!
Tanya and Jonas were stunned.
That was how the situation had developed. It seemed that Nathan was a good official. Tanya thought that Nathan
did that all because he knew Darren.
Jonas breathed a sigh of relief as he glanced at Darryl. Unfortunately, he did not show the slightest hint of gratitude;
he looked even more disgusted.
‘F*ck, this man is too lucky! He had met a good official like Nathan.’ Had Nathan favored his son, Jonas knew that he
and his cousin would suffer a worse fate.
