"Holy Master, it is my fault for not protecting her well enough, please punish me!"
Gonzalez City, inside the western-style house.
Lillian Tompson knelt in front of Julius Reed, her lips still bearing a trace of dried blood.
"Stand up."
Julius Reed picked up an apple and quickly peeled it.
As usual, the apple peel formed one continuous line, without breaking.
"This matter is not your fault. I know you did your best, and I understand. Have an apple to calm your nerves."
He handed the apple to Lillian Tompson, gently wiping the blood from her lips, "Back then, I wanted you to learn martial arts, but you stubbornly refused, insisting on learning the way of the tyrant! Now, do you regret it?"
With Lillian Tompson's talent and physique, had she taken the path of martial arts, she would've already become one of the top twenty Great Grandmasters in the Heavenly List.
