When Jonathan arrived downstairs, Josephine was nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, Andrew, who was supposed to have left with his troop, had been waiting for him downstairs. Upon spotting Jonathan, he scurried over and greeted, “Commander!”

“Did Zachary send you to tail me?” Jonathan asked, his gaze turning icy.

Andrew's face paled at the overwhelming presence exuded by Asura. It felt as though a sword was going to slash his throat any minute.

Jonathan's penetrating gaze made Andrew hang his head low.

“N-No, we're not tailing you. King of War sent us to protect you!” Andrew replied in a shaky voice, too anxious and afraid to look straight at his superior.

“Protect?” Hearing his answer, Jonathan snickered. “Do I need your protection?”

At that, Andrew stiffened.

Indeed, Asura was mighty enough to conquer the world without losing a single battle. He did not need to be protected.

“Relay my words to Zachary. If he interferes in my business one more time, he shall return to Northern Crimson Prison and stay there for one year!”

Fear colored Andrew's pale complexion when he heard Jonathan's words. Falling to his knees, he answered, “Yes, Sir!”

After casting one last look at him, Jonathan turned and strode away.

Right after his figure disappeared from sight, Andrew whipped out his phone with trembling hands. He dialed a number without hesitation and said, “Sir, Asura—”

“Did he say he'll lock me up in Northern Crimson Prison if I were to interfere in his business one more time?” Zachary interjected before he could finish his sentence.

“H-How did you know?” Andrew's eyes widened in disbelief.
