As soon as he said this, all of the soldiers who were lying in wait stormed out of their hiding spots and soon had Connor surrounded.The color drained from Connor's face when he saw this, and after a brief moment of shock, he turned to Steven, outraged, and shouted, "What is the meaning of this, Steven? I'm not your subordinate, so you can't capture me! You need to go through my brother first!"However, seeing as more and more soldiers were appearing, he soon realized that his efforts would be futile and quickly moved to draw out his gun.Steven, however, was even faster than he was, and the moment Connor whipped his gun out from its holster, he gave it a sharp kick, sending the gun flying through the air. Then, he gave Connor another kick in his abdomen, sending him sprawling backward and crumpling to the ground in a heap. Before he could even get up, however, Steven stepped forward and placed a booted foot on his chest, keeping Connor pinned to the ground. He stared down from h
The more he thought about it, the more determined he was that this was the reason Steven had demanded his arrest out of the blue. "I knew it! It was Malcolm who had set you up for this. He's had his eye on my entire family for a while now. I know he's been lying in wait, patiently biding his time to capture us! I'm warning you, Steven, you should think twice before you do this. I know Malcolm is the mayor of this city, but you shouldn't risk offending us Saunders just because you want to kiss his a*s! My father was the former principal staff officer of the city, and he still has many of his apprentices working in powerful positions in the military. If you arrest me, you'll have to face the wrath of my father!"Steven sneered, then replied, "Do you honestly think you can scare me, Connor? We'll see who's laughing by the end of this! Troops, seize him!"With that, the soldiers took their positions, ready to bring Connor and his men, weaponless with their hands tied up behind their back
A glimmer of malice flashed through Keith's eyes as he shot Connor a warning glare. Finally, he turned to Steven and said curtly, "Steven, I'm going to cut right to the chase so as not to waste each other's time. Let go of my brother."Steven's expression darkened. "Keith, I have evidence of your brother forming alliances with gangs that have resulted in the terrorization of the citizens and subsequent disruption of peace. This is against the military law, and I have all the right to arrest him for further investigation!""Further investigation?" Keith snickered, then fixated his cold, steely gaze on Steven and scoffed. "No one is allowed to lay even a finger on Connor's head, not under my watch!"With that, Keith's soldiers armed their guns and pulled the safety as though poised to open fire at any moment. Steven's men, on the other hand, got into their positions and pulled the safety off their guns as well in retaliation. Steven clearly did not expect Keith to behave arrogantl
A triumphant grin spread over Connor's face when he saw his brother leap into action. He was extremely confident and proud of his brother's abilities and could already imagine seeing Liam soar through the air and landing on the ground in a crumpled heap. He leaped to his feet, excitedly screaming, "Go, Keith! Kill him!"Connor's men all walloped and cheered for Keith, "Lieutenant Saunders, kill him!""That'll teach him not to mess with you!"The color drained from Steven's face when he realized what Keith had done. He screeched, "This is outrageous! Keith Saunders, do you have any idea who you just—"Before he could even finish his sentence, what happened next stunned them all. The smile froze on Connor's face, and even Keith's eyes were so wide that they felt like they were about to bulge out of his head. His entire face twisted with an expression of horror because Liam had somehow grabbed hold of his hand, stopping his punch just inches away from his chest!No matter how hard
Keith's expression was full of disdain when he met Liam's gaze, and he continued, "Who do you think you are, you twat? You want to get me executed? In your dreams!"Liam's expression darkened, and he retorted, "Your father, eh? Neither of you Saunders give a sh*t about Malcolm, huh?""That's right! My father is Jay Saunders, the former principal staff officer of this city, and he's not someone you'd want to offend! If you get on your knees to apologize and beg for mercy now, I'll consider letting you off the hook this time!" Keith spat, his eyes ablaze with fury. He had never once met a match despite being in Drunham City for so long. Who would have thought he would one day be defeated by this ordinary, rather weak-looking young man?Liam nodded solemnly. "Jay Saunders, huh? Call him. I'm going to make sure the three of you end up in jail. I might as well just summon him over to save a trip."Everyone's jaw dropped at this, and they could not believe their ears.Liam wanted to get
He was not even afraid of Malcolm, so why would he be intimidated by an ordinary young man whose name he had never even heard of?Keith fixated his cold, steely gaze on Liam's face and snarled, "Very well, you twat. Arrogance can only bring you so far, and I'd like to see what my father will do to you. Drunham City is my family's territory, and no living soul has crossed a Saunder and managed to get away with it. You will become the honorary first, but also the unfortunate last!"With that, Keith took out his phone and dialed his father's number. The call soon went through, and a raspy voice rang out, "Hello, Keith. To what do I owe you this phone call?"Keith's tone was gracious as he replied, "Father, something has happened here. Steven Woods is trying to get Connor arrested, and there's another cocky man here who claims he's going to capture all three of us…"Keith then explained everything to his father on the phone and finally added, "You have to come, Father. I have a feeling
Connor struggled against his restraints and screeched at Liam and Steven, "Let go of me right now, or else my father will never let you go!"Steven scoffed, then replied coldly, "We'll see about that, Connor."Steven's eyes were etched with disdain. He could not believe how ignorant the two brothers were; they had no idea what kind of trouble they had gotten themselves into!They had inadvertently crossed paths with the King Pendragon himself without even knowing it and had shown him such blatant disrespect. This was unforgivable!Connor and Keith could not help but feel a little ill at ease at the way Steven was staring at them, but they were certain that things would be straightened out once their father arrived. Jay would certainly make Liam and Steven pay for what they had done, and the thought of this instilled some confidence within them both. Meanwhile, Jay slipped into his uniform as soon as he got off the phone with Keith and pinned a golden badge onto his lapel. This wa
The four elders were all beside themselves with rage to hear this. "Who the h*ll does he think he is? What gave him the guts to say such a thing?""Outrageous! Does he think this city is his personal playground that he can come and go as he sees fit? How dare he take Connor and Keith hostage? We can't allow him to disrespect you like this!""Don't worry, Jay, we'll get to the bottom of this. I'll summon my troops right this instant!""This is unacceptable! Not even Malcolm would ever dare to commit such atrocity! Where the h*ll did this twat even come from, anyway? Does he have any idea who he's going up against? This is outrageous!"Jay was secretly delighted to have elicited such a response from his fellow comrades, but he showed no sign of glee on his face and instead said curtly, "Don't get ahead of yourselves, my friends. Listen to me. The fact that this young man could easily command Steven, the battalion commander of the Western Precinct, means that he holds some power withi
