Chapter 3214 The Arrest of the Criminal

As Dalton, kneeling in the dirt, heard Cyrus' words, his face lit up with excitement and disbelief. Despite the searing pain coursing through his body, he pushed himself up from the ground, revealing the dark bruises and swelling that marked his exposed skin.
"No need to trouble you, sirs. I can walk on my own," he insisted, his voice trembling with emotion. His face bore a smile he could not suppress, yet tears of relief and sorrow streamed down his cheeks, creating a stark contrast on his weathered face.
The crowd fell silent, watching the man and the two Aerial Legion members with bated breath. No one dared to move. They were eager to see if this man, who claimed that only the king deserved their kneeling, indeed had the power to back up his bold words.
