It was a simple sentence, yet it carried a pressure that made their hearts tremble.
Every soldier his gaze swept over involuntarily took a step back, their guns dipping slightly.
No one dared move.
The atmosphere was so heavy it seemed almost tangible.
Thousands of fully armed guard soldiers surrounded Yue Xiaofei and the Reverse Scale Squad.
Black gun muzzles pointed at them from every direction.
One order from the Guard Commander, and they would be riddled with bullets in an instant.
Yet not a single person dared fire.
Because Yue Xiaofei still held their Japanese Emperor in his grasp.
The monarch, who had just endured the darkest, most humiliating moments of his life, was now like a rag doll, held mercilessly in front of Yue Xiaofei as a human shield.
His face was deathly pale, his eyes vacant. He gulped down air, clearly on the verge of a breakdown.
"L-let His Majesty go!"
The Guard Commander's heart trembled at the sight of the Japanese Emperor's wretched state.
He summoned his courage and shouted at Yue Xiaofei in a hoarse voice.
"You're surrounded! Drop your weapons and surrender immediately! Otherwise-"
"Otherwise what?"
Yue Xiaofei cut him off with a sneer.
"You'll shoot me dead? And send your 'god' to the afterlife along with me?"
As he spoke, Yue Xiaofei tightened his grip slightly, choking a pained howl out of the Japanese Emperor.
The Guard Commander's face instantly turned an ugly purple, and the rest of his words stuck in his throat.
He dared not take that gamble!
He stared fixedly at Yue Xiaofei, his eyes full of wariness and anger, yet he was powerless.
This man from the Dragon Kingdom was a complete lunatic!
He didn't follow any of the rules!
Seeing the man's frustration, Yue Xiaofei's mocking smile deepened.
