With Xachary's order, over a hundred Path Emperors surrounded the couple. Before James and Thea could act, a tall woman in a black robe and veil appeared behind Xachary in a flash.
Xachary commanded, “Why are you just standing there? Capture them…”
Bang!
A muffled thud interrupted Xachary, knocking him to the ground at James and Thea's feet.
James and Thea exchanged resigned shrugs. Whether the man was truly Xachary, it seemed he was caught in a tragic situation.
“Who dares to… uh?” Xachary scrambled to his feet and was about to voice his fury. However, he immediately swallowed his words upon seeing the black-robed woman standing where he had been moments before. Aghast, he quickly knelt before her.
“These two don’t know our rules, Ms. Muthella. I was just…”
Bang!
Muthella kicked him aside, cutting him off. Then, she approached James and Thea, her gaze flicking between them. “Are you two a couple, siblings, or just friends?”
At her command, the Path Emperors surrounding James and Thea immediately surged forward to seize Xachary.
Terrified, Xachary desperately struggled to break free and shouted, “I was wrong, Ms. Muthella! I won’t do it again! I serve Sir Hetsema! You have no right to punish me! You…”
James' expression changed drastically upon hearing Hetsema being mentioned. Just as Xachary was about to be dragged away, he shouted, “Stop!”
His sudden intervention stunned Muthella and the Path Emperors. Even Thea looked at him, completely baffled.
