Chapter 1891
Governor Quill then wheeled on Rex. "As for you, you will be punished as the mastermind.
"Your cultivation will be crippled and your legs hacked off while you join your mother on the streets, begging for alms for the rest of your lives!"
Rex groaned miserably as he collapsed on the floor, the last hope he had inside vanishing as he received his sentence.
Just ten minutes ago, he had the wind in his sails as he just reached the pinnacle of his existence, scheming on how he should take the title of governor from his grandfather.
But now, under Governor Quill's ruthless order, he would be reduced a crippled beggar, begging alms on the streets.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
How was he even supposed to accept the dramatic turn of events?
"You want a second chance?"
Governor Quill chuckled coolly, seeing the despair of Rex and his mother Cara. "I could spare your lives and even be lenient when you earned Frank's forgiveness. You have three days, understand?"
Rex and Cara's eyes lit up with hope at the governor's words, nodding repeatedly.
Even if it was almost impossible to ask Frank to forgive them, that was still better than being reduced to beggars.
Still, anyone could clearly see that it was just Governor Quill's own way of apologizing to Frank, since he must be too embarrassed to do so himself.

"Remember-be proper, and tell him that he can take my position as the governor any time he wants to, and ask him to not take heart about what happened today."
Megan was surprised by her grandfather's request. To her knowledge, he had never been this interested in any of his descendants, let alone sent people to apologize in his stead.
However, despite thinking that the governor was really going above and beyond for Frank, Megan was. herself quite thrilled about seeing Frank again, even if she could not quite say why.
Meanwhile, Frank had disguised his feelings well-neither Winter nor Jean Zims could see that he was frustrated and furious on the way back to Zamri.
Once they reached home, he gradually felt relief.
He felt no sense of belonging with the Quills of Bralog anyway.
Sure, he was as furious as he was miserable to be misunderstood and slandered, but he cheered up after considering that he wanted nothing to do with them.
As for Governor Quill's claims that there would be people coming to hunt him down without his protection, Frank was not that easily killed now-it would at least take a Transcendent-ranked elite
