"Sleep," Janine appeared behind him. The woman slammed the side of her hand right into Tanner's nape, knocking the man out in an instant.

"You didn't have to go such lengths to make him shut up," Kingsley said, but his face said the opposite. He looked relieved after Tanner was knocked out cold. 

"He was saying bullsh*t," Janine said. "Of course, I had to act. Can I get a healer here?"

"I'll heal him," Iris walked from the crowd that gathered around Daniel and Tanner. She placed her staff on Tanner's forehead and emitted a soft white light from her weapon down to the unconscious man.
