The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

A sudden, deep cry sounded from the side of the ruins, "Half?!"

"Brother..., you can't just ask for half of a family's possessions." Janelle pulled at her brother's sleeves lightly.

Jacob gave his sister a small smile and turned around to look at the man who called out. He looked at them coldly and said to Evelyn, "You can reject it if you like."

Steven huffed and looked at his daughter, "Evelyn, let's go home! We can do business outside of Paramount, it doesn't have to be here!"

"Dad!" Evelyn looked at her dad with her eyes filled with anxiousness and desperation.

Betray Paramount Chamber of Commerce, at most you'll lose your possessions. But if we go against this man, we might lose our lives!

Under the night sky, a gentle breeze continued to blow.

Jacob looked at the sky and said slowly, "Have you thought about it? I have other things to do tonight, please don't take up too much of my time." As he spoke, his voice quietened down. Jacob furrowed his brows as he frowned in the direction of the rowan tree.

Suddenly, there was a white flash as two shadow rangers jumped out from the shadows of the rowan tree. Jacob watched as they fell to the floor after being punched by a bald man covered in tattoos.

Seeing that the man was about to hit them again, a stern look flashed across Jacob's eyes. He picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it towards the man, "Hey!"

In the blink of an eye, five distinct figures appeared under the rowan tree. Suddenly, shadows started to flicker around the ruins.

"Hey!" Janelle gave a surprised shout as she was surrounded by people dressed in black.

"Don't worry, they're here to protect you." Jacob comforted his sister with a smile. He commanded, "Bring my sister back, and create a 100-meter parameter. Whoever disobeys will be punished!"

"Yes sir!" The shadow rangers replied sternly.

"Brother, please be careful." Janelle told Jacob worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll be done real quick." Jacob reassured his sister with a nod. Once he saw that the shadow rangers had brought his sister out of harm's way, he turned his attention back to Evelyn Winston.

"Are those five your allies?" Jacob asked Evelyn with a cold snicker.

Evelyn was confused with the situation as she gave a gentle shake of her head, "Mr. Lynch, please don't misunderstand. I honestly just came today with my father to apologize; we have no other intentions…"
