Chapter 224 Kill Them!





"Scarle-"Ace stopped his words and corrected it. "City mistress, may I know the reason why you ordered me to come to court?"

He did not call her Scarlett like usual because he knew she was the city mistress at this moment, not his lover.

And even though he already knew the reason why they brought him to court, he still asked this question because he wanted everyone to know the reason too.

"Ace, is it true that you injured them?" Scarlett asked in a firm tone.

At this moment, Scarlett acted as if she did not have a special relationship with Ace.

"It's true, city mistress." Ace gave an honest answer.

"What?! It's really him?!"

"I did not expect him to be a cruel person."

"I did not expect this too."

"He looks like a nice person, but…sigh."

"I thought he would never do anything bad in his life, but I was wrong." 

"But why did he do that to them?"

"Ah. I also want to know about this."

"Let's just hear it."

Whispers erupted because most of them did not know what had happened between Ace and Morgan's two sons.

"I can expl-" before Ace had finished his words, he was interrupted by Morgan.

"City mistress, you hear it, right? He admitted it. He admitted that he injured and crippled my son." Morgan was pleased when Ace admitted it. "City mistress, I want justice! Ace had crippled and injured my son. I want you to cripple and injure him too!"

"That's right, city mistress." Like his father, Blake was also thrilled. "Ace had done bad things to us. As the city mistress, you have to uphold justice for us."

"That's right." Alvin added. 

Scarlett instantly glanced at Morgan and his two sons.

She was displeased with their behavior because they dared to speak before she allowed them to talk.

Morgan and his two sons instantly shut their mouths when they saw her terrifying glance.

"Why did you injure them?" Scarlett inquired.

"City mistress, I have two reasons why I decided to injure them and cripple Blake." Ace gave an honest answer.

"What is it?" Scarlett threw another question at Ace.

"The first reason is Alvin tried to harass my three underlings." After saying that, Ace looked at Silvia, Renea and Leena. "Come here and tell city mistress what Alvin did to you guys yesterday."

Silvia, Renea and Leena immediately stood next to Ace and uttered, "That's right, city mistress. He tried to harass us yesterday."

They told Scarlett that Alvin tried to play with their tails and ears yesterday. 

They also said there were many eyewitnesses because he tried to harass them when they were promoting Ace's restaurant.

Scarlett shifted her gaze from Ace's underlings to Alvin. "Is that true, Alvin?"

"That is…" Alvin could not say anything because it was the truth.

He also could not lie because there were many eyewitnesses.

"As I thought, it was not Ace who started it." 

"Tch! That kid is as bad as ever."

"I would have been embarrassed if I had a son like him." 

"Me too."

"No wonder the Riley family is not one of the big families anymore. It's because they can't educate their children."

The audience began to speak ill of Alvin and the Riley family.

Morgan gritted his teeth in anger.

Even though they said in low voices, he could still hear it.

"But city mistress, what he has done to my two sons has crossed the line." Morgan tried to defend his son. "I admit my son is in the wrong, but he should not cut off my son's right arm. It's too much!"

"City mistress, when he tried to harass my underlings, I did not cut off his right arm immediately. I only slapped his face before letting him go." Ace uttered, "The people who were present at this incident yesterday know about this." 

"That's right."

"Yes. Ace only slapped Alvin's face, nothing more than that."

"He is telling the truth. I can be a witness for this."

The women who were present at the incident yesterday defended Ace.

"Then why did you cut off their right hand?" Scarlett inquired.

"After I let him go, Alvin brought his older brother to make trouble for me again." Ace responded instantly. "He wanted to beat me up, but I was stronger than his elder brother."

Scarlett glanced at Morgan's two sons before finally returning her attention to Ace. "What is the second reason?"  I think you should take a look at

"The second reason is that they insulted me and my father." Ace uttered, "At first, I only wanted to beat them up and stop, but they kept insulting me and my father, so I changed my mind."

"Insulting you and your father?" Scarlett was shocked after hearing his words.

Not only Scarlett but everyone present was also startled.

"Bullshit! I always remind my two sons not to insult heroes. How can you say they insulted your father? Don't make up stories!" actually, Morgan did not know about this because his two sons did not say anything. 

"Make up stories? Everyone who was at the scene yesterday knew about this." Ace responded, "City mistress can investigate this if you don't believe me. Some of the eyewitnesses are present in this place too."

Renea immediately spoke, "They insulted him, saying he was a boy toy and a weak young man."

"Not only that, but they also insulted his father, saying his father was a bad person and a gigolo." Silvia added.

Scarlett glanced at Alvin and Blake again.

At this moment, she almost could not control herself.

"So, it was like that, huh?"

"No wonder Ace beat them up. I would also do the same if someone insulted my father like that."

"Me too. Ace is not wrong in this case."

"That's right. His actions are normal."

One by one, the audience defended Ace.

Morgan was unhappy with this "My two sons were indeed the ones who started this. You should report them to the city guards, and their actions will be judged fairly."

He then continued, "However, you did not do that. You even cut off my two sons' right hand and crippled Blake. This is a very terrible crime. You must be punished!"

"City mistress, even though my father was not born in this city, but he always regarded this city as his hometown." Ace uttered, "When countless magical beasts attacked this city five years ago, my father defended this city without thinking twice. My father fought countless magical beasts bravely before finally killing the boss."

He then continued, "If my father did not kill countless magical beasts, defend this city and kill the boss, are you sure this city will still exist?"

Everyone instantly remembered Ace's father because it could be said he was the reason why the Nightshire city was able to survive the attacks of countless magical beasts.

"My father sacrificed himself to protect this city and its citizens." Ace uttered, "But the people he protected with his life insulted him instead. City mistress, do you still think that my actions have crossed the line?" 

Scarlett shifted her gaze from Ace to Morgan. "The Riley family is indeed amazing. Their children even dared to insult a hero."

"City mistress, you have to punish them!"

"That's right. Ace's father is a hero. No one is allowed to insult him."

"City mistress, teach them a lesson!"

"City mistress, kill them!"

"That's right. Insulting a hero is a capital crime. Death is the only appropriate punishment for this crime."

"Kill Them!"

"Kill them!"

One by one, the audience voiced out their anger.

What Ace said was right.

Ace's father was the reason why Nightshire City still existed.

Someone who insulted his father had to be killed because no one should insult a hero.

Morgan and his two sons were panicked because everything was out of their control now.

'What should we do, father?'

Alvin and Blake looked at their father.

Morgan instantly knelt before Scarlett. "City mistress, please forgive my two sons."

"Please forgive us." Blake and Alvin uttered in unison.

"No! City mistress, don't forgive them."

"That's right. Don't forgive them."

"City mistress, I want you to kill them."

"That's right. Make them an example for others not to insult a hero."

"That's right. That's right."

The audience did not want to forgive Morgan and his two sons because they dared to insult Ace's father.

Blake and Alvin even said Ace's father was a gigolo.

That was a capital crime.

They should be killed!

They must not forgive them.

Scarlett shifted her gaze from Morgan to Ace. "What do you want to do to them, Ace?"
