Chapter 545

Xander’s kick nearly took Leonard’s life.

The immense force sent him hurtling through the air like a ragdoll.

He crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Leonard protested, “Prince Nander, how dare you resort to summary punishment? I am, after all, an imperial official. Even if I were guilty, only a formal trial by the judicial department could convict me. By flouting the law like this, aren’t you afraid the Emperor will hold you accountable?”
