Chapter 4126
"Father!"
Finally, Mona broke the silence. She pointed at Oliver and roared, "Tie him up, and make sure he gets sentenced."
Mona might be young and a little stubborn, but she still knew how to tell right from wrong. She disliked Darryl, but he was still the Demon tribe's hero.
Oliver's disgusting attempt at framing Honorable Master Darby was despicable and unforgivable.
Leia and Colon Phoenix nodded as she spoke, along with a few others.
Oliver's actions were, by Demon tribe rules, worthy of an official sentence.
Whew!
The White Tiger King took a deep breath. He did not say anything.
Oliver's face paled with fear. He fell to his knees and begged Leia. "It's all my fault, Leia. I behaved like an animal, and I acted without thinking. I should not have done that, but it's all because I love you too much. Please forgive me."
Right after that, Oliver spoke to the White Tiger King. "I've learned my lesson, Your Majesty. I beg you to forgive me on account of the great deed
I just did for the Demon tribe. Please don't sentence me, please."
Oliver was close to tears. His voice even trembled.
Just as the White Tiger King was about to speak, the Black Tortoise King cut him off with a great roar.
"You are an animal!"
The Black Tortoise King roared furiously and landed a kick onto Oliver's body. With a loud cry, Oliver fell to the floor immediately.
The Black Tortoise King still seemed furious as he continued his assault on Oliver. He yelled, "I had such high hopes for you, only for you to do
something so despicable. What would your late mother think? I'll be damned as your father if I don’t beat you to death today."
The Black Tortoise King's expression was one of pure fury, but it was all an act for the White Tiger King.
The Black Tortoise King knew that if he did not play up his anger, the White Tiger King might have his men seize Oliver and have him publicly punished. Oliver had taken advantage of his daughter, after all.
The White Tiger King might spare Oliver if the Black Tortoise King played it up, though.
He was the king of the Black Tortoise tribe, and his status was close to the White Tiger King's. The White Tiger King might give Oliver a chance if he acted that way.
"Please stop, Father. It's my fault, I've learned my lesson, I really have..." Oliver was sprawled on the floor, howling in agony as he begged profusely for forgiveness.
Oliver was smart enough to know that his father was acting for the White Tiger King. Thus, he played along as well.
"That's enough."
The White Tiger King could no longer stand to watch the Black Tortoise King beat Oliver to a pulp and called out to stop him. "Calm Down, Black Tortoise King.”
Whew!
The Black Tortoise King took a deep breath of air. Then, he said, "I am ashamed to say that I have this animal as my son. You may do whatever you wish with him. Do not hold back on my account."
Despite what he was saying, the Black Tortoise King looked closely at the expressions on the White Tiger King's face.
Indeed, that was all part of the Black Tortoise King's strategy.
Oliver, for all his wrongdoings, was still his son.
