Zachariah’s expression soured when he heard that. Junior generals were a formidable existence to


    begin with, and the sheer number of connections that they usually had were even more frightening.


    Even so, his decision remained unwavering when he remembered that Severin could get Valerian to


    help them with just single a phone call-after all, a mere junior general was two ranks below that of a


    war chief!


    Once he was done pondering over it, he said directly, “Hehe, you must think I’m just bluffing. Under


    normal circumstances, individuals with the rank of junior generals or war chiefs could not care less


    about the power struggle between upper-ss families. Even if he’s your rtive, he wouldn’t help you


    without first getting the facts straight from you.”


    Upon concluding his sentence, he patted his chair and yelled, “Fes!”


    In the blink of an eye, some of the Bards’ elite fighters and guardians show up there.


    “What are you going to do, Zachariah? Are you sure you’re not afraid of my cousin? You must’ve


    grown. tired of living!” Quintus gritted his teeth in anger, for he never thought that the mention of his


    cousin would end up not having the intended effect.

    “What should we do, miss?” The bodyguards who followed Quintus and Jada were all terrified. They


    were the Stones’ bodyguards, and the elite fighters that Quintus called from Riverson were still at the


    Stones.


    Jada’s expression turned gloomy after Zachariah’s surprising decision to go against them, especially


    after Zachariah called his men in. She had not expected such an oue, hence why she brought only


    a few bodyguards with her.


    Jada stood up and red at Zachariah, “Mister Zachariah, we reminded you out of courtesy, so what is


    it you intend to do with us right now? Are you going to kill us?”


    Zachariah smiled coldly and said, “Mister Severin has helped us greatly, but since you’ve decided to go


    against him, then so be it. It’s about time I repay his kindness. I won’t kill you, but I’ll hand you over to


    Mister Severin to let him deal with you as you see fit!” He then ordered his men, “Capture them all, then


    tie them up and send them to Mister Severin!”


    “How dare you!” Quintus red at Zachariah and said viciously, “Have you gone mad? You should


    know that you’re not just offending the Novaks if you offend me. You’ll also be offending my cousin,


    whom I have a good rtionship with! He answers to Dracodom’s senior general!”


    “Why would I care about that?” Zachariah could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him, so he gave


    his men another order. “Tie them up!”


    Although the bodyguards still attempted to resist, they were ultimately no match for the Bards’ men.


    and were subdued with ease. Zachariah then tied the captives’ hands behind their backs and then


    drove straight to Severin’s residence.


    “Look, Severin. Why are there so many cars there?” Diane and Severin had just finished breakfast and


    were chatting in the yard when Diane saw more than 20 carsing up from the road below.
