I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2605 2604: Apologize on Your Knees, Jiang Changhai Arrives

"Cousin Jiang's words make sense. Whoever is at fault should admit it, I agree with that."

Jiang Bo immediately followed up on Jiang Shidai's words.

He said, "Then may I ask, what did I do wrong in this matter?"

"Jiang Zhe mocked Jiang Rui first, so Jiang Rui hit him. Let's call it even, shall we?"

Jiang Shidai said indifferently.

Jiang Bo slightly squinted his eyes and was silent for a moment.

Then he spoke.

"Alright, I'll take responsibility for my brother's matters."

"Since Cousin Jiang has spoken, I must give this face."

"Well then, let's talk about my issue now."

"I didn't mock him or do anything."

"Yet he humiliated me like this. What does Cousin Jiang think should be done?"

Jiang Bo's words left no room for Jiang Shidai to smooth things over or for any other alternatives.

He wanted Xu Zimei to pay a price this time.

You must know who he is. Being trampled underfoot, how could he continue in the future?

If his followers knew about this, how could they submit?

So this matter could never be taken lightly from the moment it happened.

Upon hearing Jiang Bo's counterquestion, Jiang Shidai also slightly furrowed her brow.

Then she said, "How about letting Jiang Rui apologize to you?"

"Apologize?"

"Do you think a mere apology can settle this matter?"

Jiang Bo sneered.

"Cousin Jiang, isn't that a bit unfair?"

"With so many people present today, who would agree to resolve being trampled upon with just an apology?"

"Then what do you want?" Jiang Shidai countered.

"Do you want to trample him underfoot too?"

She had to maintain the upper hand.

Moreover, such a thing was simply impossible.

After all, Jiang Rui is the Young Clan Leader.

From a status standpoint, it's not comparable.

Jiang Bo also knew this was impossible, but he thought of a compromise.

He laughed and said, "An apology is fine, but it must be given in another manner."

"If he kneels and apologizes to me, I'll accept it."

Upon hearing this, everyone present wore teasing expressions, turning to Xu Zimei to see his choice.

Regardless of his willingness, this matter could not just end like this.

He had to choose.

Either accept the family's punishment.

This punishment could be severe or light, depending on manipulation.

After all, Xu Zimei was indeed at fault in this matter.

Originally, Jiang Bo wanted to pressure Xu Zimei a bit, but didn't expect the latter to be so bold.

Embarrassing him in public.

Now that he had seized this flaw, there was a lot of room for manipulation.

The Young Clan Leader kneeling to apologize, if outsiders knew...

Then Jiang Rui's time as Young Clan Leader would be over.

Upon hearing the request, Jiang Shidai involuntarily frowned.

She felt the demand was excessive.

But considering Jiang Bo's humiliation earlier, it seemed quite reasonable.

At this point, in the gaze of everyone present,

Xu Zimei slowly spoke.

His expression was neither happy nor sad, unchanged from the beginning.

"I refuse!"

"Refuse?" Jiang Bo laughed in anger.

He said, "If you refuse, then we'll handle it according to clan rules."

"Harming a family disciple, this punishment should be quite severe,"

"What do you mean by harming a family disciple? It was just a conflict," Jiang Shidai hurriedly said.

Mainly, the title Jiang Bo gave was too dangerous.

No matter the faction or family, such behavior of harming fellow members was zero-tolerance.

If it were just a minor punishment for Jiang Rui, Jiang Shidai wouldn't bother.

But such a serious title, Jiang Shidai had to intervene.

To Jiang Rui's words, Jiang Bo snorted coldly.

He said, "Today, in front of so many people, he dares to insult a family disciple like this."

"If there was nobody, wouldn't he just kill us?"

As the two argued, Xu Zimei grew tired of listening.

He stepped forward.

Looked at Jiang Bo.

He said, "Why make it so complicated?"

"How about this, let's have a match."

"A duel to the death, do you dare?"

With Xu Zimei's words, the argument ceased.

Jiang Bo looked at Xu Zimei.

After all, in everyone's eyes, this so-called Young Clan Leader Jiang Rui was only in his position because of his father's influence.

In terms of strength or talent, he was ordinary, even a complete waste.

But now this waste dared to challenge him.

A duel to the death.

Where did this courage come from?

But recalling how he couldn't move just now, Jiang Bo was convinced someone was helping secretly.

His suspicious eyes turned to Jiang Shidai.

He remained silent for a moment.

In his view, the only person with the ability to secretly aid Jiang Rui must be Jiang Shidai.

He snorted coldly.

He said, "A duel to the death, you probably plan some trick again."

"Are you scared?" Xu Zimei countered.

"What a joke, would I be scared?"

With so many people around, Jiang Bo couldn't possibly back down.

He said, "A duel to the death is fine, but it has to be reported to the clan's Disciplinary Elders."

"Do you dare?"

The clan's Disciplinary Elders generally oversee rules within Xuntian Mansion.

If there's a mistake, they'll deal with it.

And if family disciples fight...

It too must follow the rules.

In fact, within the Xuntian clan, death duels aren't opposed.

Just not encouraged.

After all, they're clan disciples; a death duel has no benefits for anyone.

Especially as disciples should not develop this habit.

But in large clans, with benefits and factions, could there be no grievances?

A death duel is unstoppable.

Instead of doing it secretly,

it's better to make it open, let life and death settle debts.

Jiang Bo wanted Disciplinary Elders to regulate the death duel.

The second, most important thing, was the supervision by Disciplinary Elders on-site.

To prevent anyone from secretly helping.

The second point was the most critical.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shidai suddenly spoke.

"The Old Lady's birthday feast doesn't allow blood."

"If you want a death duel, wait until after the feast."

Her point was reasonable, but Jiang Bo disagreed.

He said indifferently, "What, you want to stall for time?"

Just as they were at an impasse, a large group of people entered from outside.

On the left, a group led by Jiang Shoutian, very imposing and sizable.

On the right, a group led by Jiang Bo and Jiang Zhe's father, Jiang Changhai.

Though Jiang Changhai had suffered some setbacks, he still had influence.

But couldn't compare to Jiang Shoutian.

This time, Jiang Zhe went to complain.

Originally a matter among juniors, Jiang Changhai didn't mind.

But Jiang Zhe claimed someone helped secretly.

Jiang Changhai naturally couldn't agree.

He was already a head lower than Jiang Shoutian; he couldn't let his son also be overshadowed by Jiang Shoutian's son.
