Chapter 225 We Apologize For Insulting You



Morgan and his two sons were panicked.

Big mistake!

They finally realized that complaining to Scarlett and bringing Ace to court was a big mistake because Scarlett and the others stated that his two sons were in the wrong.

'Father, what should we do? What will happen to us now?'

Blake and Alvin looked at his father.

Even though they did not say anything, Morgan could understand it.

'We can't do anything now. We made a big mistake. We should not have complained to her.'

He shook his head.

As they were communicating through their eyes, Ace uttered, "City mistress, I will let them be punished according to the rules of this city."

"According to the rules of this city, their punishment is to have their tongues cut off and to be publicly whipped a thousand times." Scarlett responded, "Are you sure you only want them to be punished according to our city's rules?"

"Yes." Ace decided not to show his real intentions in public.

Morgan was panicked after hearing Scarlett's words. "City mistress, please have mercy. My two sons are in a bad condition. If you punish them now, I'm afraid they will lose their lives."

When Blake and Alvin heard what punishment would befall them, terror overtook their faces.

'Cutting off our tongues and being publicly whipped a thousand times?'

They were already in a bad state, so they did not dare to imagine what would happen to them if they were whipped a thousand times and had their tongues cut out.

"Ignore him, city mistress!" 

"That's right. Insulting a hero is an unforgivable mistake."

"It's your two sons' fault for insulting a hero."

"Yes. They must be punished regardless of their condition."

"I agreed."

One by one, the audience asked Scarlett not to show mercy to Blake and Alvin.

Scarlett looked at the audience before returning her attention to Morgan. "If you want to ask for leniency, you should ask Ace, not me." 

Morgan shifted his gaze from Scarlett to Ace.

'What should I do?'

He did not want to beg Ace for leniency because it would hurt his pride and ruin his family's reputation.

But he could lose his two sons if he did not beg Ace for leniency because they were in bad condition. 

'What should I do? What should I do?'

He looked at his two sons before returning his attention to Ace.

At this moment, Blake and Alvin stared at his father.

Of course, they hoped their father would ask Ace for leniency because they did not want to die. 

However, they did not say anything because it could ruin their family's reputation.

After thinking for several seconds, Morgan decided to apologize. "Ace, please forgive my two sons. It's my sons' fault for causing trouble for you. Please forgive them."

He then continued, "I promise I will not bring this up or cause any more trouble for you if you can grant leniency to my two sons. Please."

Everyone looked at Ace, waiting for his answer.

[Five divine beings tell you to forgive them.]

[All evil beings tell you to kill them.]

[Twenty divine beings are guessing your answer.]

At first, Ace wanted to refuse, but he changed his mind after getting a good idea. "Sure. But I have two conditions." 

Everyone was shocked after hearing his words.

"What?! He is willing to forgive Morgan's sons?"

"Ace, what are you doing? Don't do that."

"That's right, Ace. Don't do that."

"Ace, they must be punished for insulting your father." 

ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm "I agreed. Ace, I know you are a good young man, but you must not forgive them." 

"Yes. Yes. Don't forgive them."

"Ahh! As expected of our Ace, he is really an angel!"

"Ace is too kind as a human!"

"That's right. I like him even more now."

"Yes. I like him more too."

"As expected of my Ace, he is indeed the kindest man alive!"

The male audience told him not to grant Morgan's wish, while the female kept praising him, saying he was an angel or something along these lines.

Morgan and his two sons were shocked.

Previously, they thought Ace would not agree because they were enemies. Of course, they were thrilled because his words could change everything.

"What is it?" Morgan inquired,  I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"First, kneel before me and apologize to me and my deceased father. Last, give me one thousand gold coins." There were two reasons why Ace granted Morgan's request.

First, it was for money, and last, it was for fame.

Even though kneeling before him was a little too much, but it was still within reasonable limits because Alvin and Blake insulted his father yesterday.

And by giving him a lighter sentence, everyone would think of him as a good and forgiving person.

With this, no one would suspect him when he killed Blake and Alvin outside the city because he was willing to forgive them despite knowing their actions.

In other words, he was trying to create a good image of himself in order to manipulate everyone!

[God of Wind is voicing out his dissatisfaction.]

[God of Wind says, change your conditions. It's bad!]

[Several divine beings agreed with God of Wind.]

Notifications popped up right after Ace said his conditions to grant Morgan's request.

Morgan widened his eyes in shock.

He was fine with the part of apologizing to him and giving him money, but kneeling before him made him falter as they were in front of a large crowd.

'Should I accept it? Or should I reject it?'

He stared at his two sons. 

'If I accept it, I can save my two sons, but I will lose my reputation.'

He began to think of the advantages and disadvantages.

'But if I don't accept it, I can lose my two sons.'

He did not want to lose his two sons because they were his only family now.

Blake and Alvin did not say anything when his father looked at them because they would let him decide everything.

Of course, they hoped his father would ask for leniency because they would die if they received punishment in their current state.

After thinking for several seconds, Morgan decided to accept Ace's condition.

After making his two sons kneel before Ace, he also knelt. "Ace, please forgive us. We promise we won't repeat the same mistake. Please, give leniency to my two sons."

"Haha. Look at him! Haha."

"Haha. It's funny!"

"They deserve it!"

"It seems like the Riley family will lose their reputation after this."

"I think so too. Haha."

"Haha."

One by one, the audience laughed at Morgan and his two sons.

They found it funny because they dragged Ace to the court, but they ended up kneeling before Ace and asking for forgiveness.

Even though Morgan and his two sons were furious with their behavior, they did not do anything to them.

They would bear with it for now as they needed Ace's forgiveness. 

"We apologize for insulting you and your father." They uttered in unison. "Your father is not a bad man. He is a hero." 

Ace was satisfied.

He loved the sight of them kneeling before him and apologizing.

He loved it!

"Now give me one thousand gold coins, and I will forgive all your mistakes," Ace said calmly.

Henry took one thousand gold coins from his space ring and gave it to Ace. "Here."

Ace stored the money in his space ring before finally looking at Scarlett. "City mistress, I forgive them. Please don't punish them anymore."

"Are you sure?" Scarlett inquired.

"Yes." Ace responded.

"If so, then the trial of this case is closed." Scarlett uttered.

The crowd slowly dispersed.

Morgan and his two sons left the court immediately because they no longer wanted in that place.

Captain Noah walked closer to Ace and laughed. "Haha. Ace, you look like a Pirate, always asking for money. Haha."

Ace only smiled. "Because I love money."

"But are you sure you don't want to do something to them?" Captain Noah inquired.

"The Riley family is still useful to our city, so I don't want to do anything bad to them." Ace lied to Captain Noah. 

"Haha. I like your answer." Captain Noah responded, "But if they dare to make trouble for you again, don't forgive them. At least beat them first before asking for more money."

"Didn't I already do that?" Ace uttered.

Captain Noah suddenly remembered Blake and Alvin's conditions. "Oh, right. You have beaten them up. Haha."

And like that, Ace left the court with a smile on his face.
