Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne - Chapter 1919 The Chosen One
“See, Jeffrey? There’s no need to make a fuss about it. Just go. That’s enough for today,” Richard scoffed. His stern voice and forbidding face had brought tension in the air. He found it utterly disrespectful of Jeffrey to overstep and act so aggressively before him, seemingly disregarding the fact that he was the leader of the clan.
“Ha! You’re lucky you can get away this time, brat.” Jeffrey finally gave in after seeing that their leader had been giving him such a disapproving glance.
