The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

Chapter 26

With impeccable timing, the captain walked over to him. The lingering sense of darkness still seemed to loom around him.

Jacob nodded at Colin, "You handled that well."

"It's what's expected of me!" Colin bowed. He seemed to almost vibrate with excitement.

The captain was filled with passion and fervor. He bowed and thumped his right hand to his chest, "Rick Walker of the Junior Dragon Guardians. It's an honor to meet you, sir!"

"So, you're Black's soldiers!" Jacob smiled. The junior dragons under the Dragon Guardians are an extension of his lineage.

Rick nodded excitedly. "Sir, that man confessed to everything. He wanted to stir up trouble with you because you hit him this morning." He said respectfully.

"What a nuisance. Let him go." Jacob said with a flick of his hand.

Rick bowed again. "Yes sir. We'll give him a warning."

Jacob smiled slightly. "Fine. Go back to what you're supposed to be doing."

"Yes, sir!" The two bowed. They turned and left in unison.

Nearby, Moira walked over with Heidi.

Watching the two men leave, Moira probed, "Were they talking to you? Now that I think about it, the security guards acted really strange before. It looked like they were obeying you?"

Jacob nodded nonchalantly. "I know people."

Jacob then knelt down and stretched out his right hand. "Hi, little princess. We meet again."

"Hi, Mr. Mooney." Heidi seemed to be in a good mood. She giggled and put her small hand into his large one.

"Good good!" Jacob just about melted as he held his daughter's little hand. "Let's go. Mr. Mooney will take you home!"

The drive home was smooth and uneventful. Heidi and Moira sat at the back as Heidi shared with her what had happened in kindergarten today. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"You have a new teacher today? And she adores you?" Moira smiled as she played with the little girl's hand.

"Yup!" Heidi nodded vigorously. "She loves me! She scolded Marco Richmond for teasing me in the afternoon!"

"Who is this Marco Richmond?" Jacob asked from the driver's seat. He had been eavesdropping.

"Marco Richmond is Marco Richmond!" Heidi turned to answer him.

Moira pinched Heidi's cheek and said, "You remember that guy you beat up this morning? That's the little fattie's father."

"Does that fattie bully Heidi often?" Jacob narrowed his eyes into shards of ice.

"I don't like playing with him at all!" Heidi pouted. "He stole my playdoh this afternoon."

Heidi stilled and blinked twice as if she had just realized something. "Mr. Mooney, did you beat someone up this morning?"

"I was just teaching him a lesson." Jacob was a little embarrassed. "I don't want him to set a bad example for the other children."

But it looks like he needs more than a beating to learn his lesson. How dare his son bully my daughter! I'm going to kill him! His eyes took on a hard glint.

"Enough. You're the one setting a bad example!" Moira rolled her eyes. "Turn left and stop at the supermarket. We need to stock up on some groceries."

While Jacob was escorting the two ladies into the supermarket, a meeting held in a small conference room in Fort Osldon was just coming to an end.

"Let me make things clear. If this isn't settled within a month, I'll march my army of three hundred Dragon Guardians in here and slaughter each and every one of you!"

The face of a young dark-skinned man loomed on the screen.
