"Alright, alright, Tian Dan, you have some nerve. This commander doesn't have time to waste talking to you right now. Bring that kid out of the black prison area. I don’t believe that once he leaves this black prison, I can't handle that Qin Chen."

Seeing that Tian Dan was tight-lipped, Geng Deyuan was so furious that his whole body was trembling, but for the moment, he could only wave his hand, preparing to take Qin Chen away.

"Sorry, since this child has already been brought to the black prison area, he is now my prisoner, and until the matter is investigated thoroughly, Deputy Commander Geng, you probably cannot take him away at will."

Who would have thought that just as Geng Deyuan's subordinate was about to unlock the prison door, Tian Dan stepped forward and blocked their way, not allowing Geng Deyuan's men to take Qin Chen out.

"Tian Dan, what do you mean by this?"

Geng Deyuan's eyes turned cold, and a murderous aura erupted from his body as he shouted angrily, "This person was sent here by me. Do you really want to stop me?"

"Apologies, even if this person was sent here by Deputy Commander Geng, once he arrives in my black prison area, he is my prisoner. How can Deputy Commander Geng say he can take him away just like that?" Tian Dan's expression was serious as he flatly refused.

"You..."

Geng Deyuan was on the verge of going mad.

Tian Dan had previously ignored his orders, but now he was even refusing to hand over the person. This clearly indicated that he was prepared to go all out against Geng Deyuan.

When had the dignified Deputy Commander ever suffered such a loss in front of a captain?

"Tian Dan, do you know what you are doing?" Geng Deyuan's gaze turned icy as he looked at Tian Dan, filled with killing intent.

"Tian Dan, step aside now."

"Daring to offend Deputy Commander Geng, do you want to die?"

"Correct your attitude; you are just a captain. How dare you not heed Deputy Commander Geng's orders? Are you trying to rebel?"

Behind Geng Deyuan, many city guards were also furious, shouting angrily.

Faced with the cold, knife-like gazes of everyone, Tian Dan calmly replied, "The black prison area is the most core region of the City Guard. The prisoners held here are those who pose a significant threat to the imperial city and even the dynasty. As the supervisor of the black prison area, although I am not a high-ranking official in the City Guard, I still know the principle of being loyal to my duties. How can I let anyone take people away whenever they want?"

"If Deputy Commander Geng is not satisfied with my attitude, feel free to find the Director. But today, if you want to take this person away, you'd have to step over my dead body." Tian Dan said with a cold smile.

"Tian Dan, do you think I dare not move against you?"

Geng Deyuan's eyes were filled with anger as he unleashed the true power that represented the sixth level of Martial Venerable.

"Heh, Deputy Commander Geng, what kind of person are you? How could you not dare to act against me? However, if you dare to touch even a hair on Tian Dan today, I will definitely report you to the Director, and even the royal family of the dynasty, saying that you, Deputy Commander Geng, disregarded the rules, crashed into the black prison area, kidnapped prisoners, and conspired against the state. I wonder if you can bear this charge, Deputy Commander Geng?"

Tian Dan's expression was indifferent, his words resolute.

Geng Deyuan's murderous aura dissipated in an instant, and his face turned pale with anger.

To storm the black prison area and kidnap a prisoner, that was a charge he could not afford.

"Good, good, good!" Geng Deyuan shouted thrice, his tone extremely cold, his eyes shooting out venomous glances like a snake's, and he said icily, "Tian Dan, I don’t know why you are protecting this kid so fiercely today, but I tell you, your disrespect to authority and your insubordination have deeply angered me. I can give you one last chance: step aside immediately and hand over Qin Chen; I can let the past be the past. Otherwise, I can clearly tell you that as the captain of this black prison area, your days are numbered."
