Chapter 835 Torches Chapter 835 Torches Torches "Since you're so stubborn, Jax, and don't believe in ghosts, you can bring up the rear. If a ghost attacks you and you wet your pants, don't ccrying tofor help!" Daniel warned. "Cry for help from you? Ha!" Jax let out a scornful laugh, full of derision.
"I'm a veteran member of the police force. I've faced all kinds of situations. Do you really think I'd wet my pants or cry like a baby? And as a law enforcement officer, why would I ever ask a troublemaker like you for help? Are you kidding me?" "Fine, then, Jax can cover the rear, and I'll take the lead. But we need torches to enter the cave, and they should burn as brightly as possible!" Daniel said, looking at Nathan.

Who are you to orderaround? You don't pay my salary; why should I listen to you?" Nathan protested, resistant to Daniel's command.
"True, I don't pay your salary, and I have no authority over you," Daniel conceded before turning to Perry. "Perry, would you mind gathering sbranches? After all, we're here to catch the bandits and help your daughter. You should contribute, shouldn't you?" Upon hearing this, Perry shot a menacing glare at Nathan. "Why aren't you fetching those branches? Do you needto teach you a lesson first? On Golden Light Hill, whatever Daniel asks you to do, you do it. No questions," Perry commanded.
"Yes, Perry!" Nathan had no choice but to obey Perry, though he threw a resentful glance at Daniel.
After his defiant stare, Nathan reluctantly went off to gather branches.
Not wanting to incur Perry's further wrath, Nathan did good work and brought back a large bundle of suitable dry branches.
"Bind these branches into small bundles and make torches," Daniel instructed.

Seeing Jax lounging around, Daniel turned his attention to him and barked a command.
"Jax! Why are you loafing around? Can't you see Nathan could use shelp? Get over there and lend a hand." "Hey, you troublemaker, who do you
think you are? Why should I listen to you? We're just entering a cave. I have a high-powered flashlight, so we don't need torches! What century are you living in? Even decades ago, people had flashlights. You must be stuck a hundred years in the past!"
"Jax, do you even know where we are? This is a cave Dave on Golden Light Hill. You high-powered flashlight will be useless here! Once insidyour flashlight won't work. We'll
need torches. Only the blazing fire of blazing fire torches will light qux way ahead."
