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.

How was he even supposed to accept the tic 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.
Sending the mastermind behind Frank's slander campaign to apologize was his way of conveying his change of attitude, though it was still up to Frank if he accepted that apology.
"Urgh..." Still, after dealing with the main culprits of the sinister plot, Governor Quill moved on and sentenced the rest of the family, since they were all Rex's accomplices.
When he was done punishing every member of the family and arranged for the safe departure of the families of his fallen comrades, he seemed to have aged over a decade.
He was certainly too ashamed to see Frank for the terrible things he said, on top of realizing that he had failed as a grandfather.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter settling everything, Governor Quill called Megan over to speak et alone before leaving Quill Manor again. "Once you've recovered in a few days, please take the trip to Zamri forand apologize to Frank for my naivete.

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. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesMeanwhile, 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 toz hunt him down without his protection, Frank was not that easily killed now-it would at least take a Transcendent-ranked elite. Content belongs to en.kikistories.com
