As Hales was about to speak, someone called out, "Marcussss!".

He turned to it, and it was Sophia, she stood at the entrance smiling warmly and waving at him before she ran towards him.

    The assembly man's frown deepened at Marcus's request, his brows knitting together. "Do you know these people?" he questioned. "They nearly killed my son. I can't forgive them; they deserve to be punished, even killed.

"But this woman here doesn't feel any remorseful," he said. "She kept telling me that my son deserved it, she kept stepping on my nerves. I can't just let them go; I can't do this for you, please."Marcus smiled and stated, "I know you are just angry, and that you don't mean it. You gave me a whopping $20

    Chapter 84. “What's wrong, what happened”, Marcus curiously asked.
