...An apology?!
Max's eyes widened in disbelief.
He had never imagined those two words would come from his own father's mouth!
In the past, no matter what he did or how grave his mistakes were, his father had never had the heart to scold him.
Let alone now, when he had slapped him across the face and was making him bow his head and apologize!
This felt even worse than killing Max!
"I..."
Max was so wronged he was on the verge of tears.
From beginning to end, although he had indeed started the trouble, the thing was, he had not hurt Ji Lan at all!
He had not even gotten the chance to hit Ji Lan. He had only smashed some furniture when that mysterious young man showed up.
Then he was immediately forced to his knees!
That was all it took for him to be thrown into prison, and now he even had to apologize!
"Are you apologizing or not?"
Just as Max was hesitating, Clan Chief Ako delivered another heavy slap.
Smack!
This one landed on his right cheek, instantly swelling it up and making both sides symmetrical.
"???"
Max's eyes widened.
He... he got hit again?
"Apologize!"
Smack!
Another slap came flying in the next second.
"Apologize!"
Smack!
"Apologize to me!"
Smack, smack!
"Why aren't you opening your mouth? Haven't you realized your mistake yet?!"
Smack, smack, smack—!
Clan Chief Ako had gone mad with the slapping.
Max was going mad from grievance too!
He wanted to apologize!
The problem was... he had not been given the chance!
Those huge slaps kept coming—how was he supposed to speak???
"W-Wait a second!"
Max abruptly stopped his father. His mouth had swollen another size, and he stammered through a leaky voice, "I-I'll apologize!"
"That's more like it." Clan
