"Okay," Zuko said.
"Oh, right. How is it in Cumulus City?" Cordelia asked.
Zuko fell into silence for a moment before saying, "Dad has used his connection to shut out Delilah's family. It's hard for them to rise again."
"Great job!" Cordelia gnashed her teeth. "She's too evil. She should suffer eternally!"
Zuko chuckled. From what he remembered, although his parents had always been ruthless in everything they did, they would not go all the way. They always told him and Toph that they must give chances.
However, they also said they shouldn't show mercy if the person had crossed the line!
Just like Delilah—she should not be forgiven!
Zuko continued. "As for Jodie, the trial was top priotrity due to dad's connections. She was sentenced to kidnapping and first-degree murder. Also, they found prohibited guns at her place. With her crimes added up, I'm sure she can't escape the death sentence."
Cordelia nodded.
"Looks like dad is really mad this time." He chuckled. "You can tell how mad he is with Delilah and Jodie for him to use his connections to clean up the mess!"
"Of course he's mad. They kidnapped his son!" Cordelia looked at Zuko. "Although your dad is strict with you guys, he loves the both of you! He would fight anyone who dares to hurt you with his life!"
"Mom…"
"What?"
Zuko looked at her for a while before smiling happily.
