They Need It More Than I Do

Mu Zhuoyun bent at the waist, his expression hidden from view.

"I deeply apologize for what I did before. Mo Xie, Mo Fan, please forgive me."

"I'll apologize to your father in person, too. Consider these Lightning Element resources an apology from my daughter."

Everyone present was stunned. What was going on?

What were they seeing? Mu Zhuoyun, the man who ruled Bo City like his own kingdom, was bowing and apologizing to two students?!

It was probably the most shocking sight they had ever witnessed.

"Dad!"

Seeing Mu Zhuoyun apologize before everyone, Mu Ningxue was shaken. She moved to help him up, but he held out a hand to stop her.

"This..."

Mo Fan was caught so off guard by Mu Zhuoyun's actions that he could not speak.

He had said those things earlier, but he had never expected the old bastard to actually apologize to him.

He had never faced a situation like this and had no idea what to do.

While Mo Fan hesitated, Mo Xie, who had been silent until now, stepped forward and helped Mu Zhuoyun up.

"Elder Mu, there's no need for this. The Mo Family accepts your apology. It's just..."

Mu Zhuoyun straightened. At those last words, confusion crossed his face.

Mo Xie paused for a moment before continuing.

"Please don't let the Mu Family disturb us anymore. We don't need those resources, either. A sincere apology is enough. From now on... our families will have nothing more to do with each other!"

Mo Xie's voice was steady, his expression solemn, as though he had made up his mind.

At his firm words, Mu Ningxue's beautiful eyes shifted, and she bit her lip.

Nothing more to do with each other... Didn't that also mean...?

"That won't do. An apology should come with compensation,"
