Chapter 416: Chapter 409. The Second Demand

There was a lot to unpack within that statement;

That Zein called them money-grubber, that he thought the templars were useless, and that it was only the first demand. 

How many would there be, exactly?

"Excuse me, Sir; did you just call our guards...dolls?" Rounan asked as politely as he could while clenching his fists beneath his wide sleeves.

"Aren't they?" the blue eyes swept over the guards in scrutinizing gaze; at the people who were clad in expensive and sturdy armor and kept high-quality weapons by their side. "What's the use of guards in a place called the safe-zone? Rather laughable, isn't it?"

The word safe was uttered in such mockery and hatred that rather than angry, they felt embarrassed instead.
