Tangled By Fate

Chapter 348 - SHOW MERCY OR NOT



"Then, did I get kidnapped and hurt because I just Arthur's back? This doesn't make sense!" Catherine felt like she was wronged.

"What do you mean by it doesn't make sense? We, women who love Arthur, can't even touch him. But here you are, without having any legal relationship with him, casually touch him right before my nose. Do you think this is fair to us?"

"Why does it have to be fair to you? Don't you know that the world is an unfair place?" Veronica raised an eyebrow.

She was annoyed. "I can't stand her foolishness any longer. Give her a proper punishment. I don't want anyone hanging around us thinking such malice. It'll be great if the whole tower knows about this. Everyone will be aware of what happens if they mess with us."

Arthur smirked. He started getting used to this new 'Veronica'. She was no longer his na?ve princess. She had become a wise mistress.

"I like that idea," Ovior stated after careful consideration. "I'd hate to take care of Arthur's mess every time girls feel jealous."

Arthur stared at him. "Now it's my fault?!"

"You bet!" Ovior blamed everyone on the Master of the Magic Tower. "If it weren't for your lousy character, how could women make such moves?

"Look at Ironin. Is he less handsome than you are? Did you see how upright he is? He is still a virgin. Did he die without sleeping with women?

"You could at least learn from him and things like kidnapping, assassinating wouldn't happen."

Somewhere in the garden, Ironin was sharpening his weapons. He suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose. 'Who is talking about me?' he wondered.

'If he continues, Nica will get upset. Things are getting better between us. I can't take the risk,' Arthur rubbed his temple as he thought about the possible threat.

He confessed, "If I knew I would end up falling for a brilliant woman, I wouldn't have slept with other ugly women either."

Aria was bewildered as she stared at him. She couldn't believe her eyes.

'I… took care of my body and shaped it into the way he liked women. There were countless nights we spent our nights embracing each other in bed. Did he really think I was ugly?'

She recalled their passionate nights and did not think that Arthur could hate a woman and sleep with her at the same time.

"I don't believe it. Arthur, tell me you love me. You spent so many n–!! Mm!! Mm!!!"

Her lips were sealed, and she couldn't talk anymore. She desperately looked at Arthur, but he was merciless. He didn't like her talking so much about the past.

'Damn that woman! She isn't the only woman I slept with. Why is this one so troublesome? I don't want Nica to find out more details of my dirty past,' he thought.

"Why not let her finish her words?" Veronica suggested. Her voice was rather cold. "I'd love to know what she has to share."

The men in the room froze. As inexperienced as they were, they didn't know how to handle a woman with a big temper.

Darius gulped. 'Arthur, you ruined your own life. Now, you only know how to deal with your wife. Married women's jealousy is the scariest thing.'

'This is over. She is angry. I might have to sleep on the floor tonight.' Arthur wiped his sweat.

'Go, Ver! Go! Teach your playboy husband a lesson. Make him regret even looking at other women. Traumatize him!!!' Catherine cheered inwardly.

"That's not necessary," Ovior spoke first. As Arthur's friend, he came to the rescue. "I've heard enough annoying stories today. I want to let my brain and heart rest."

Veronica didn't approach Aria afterward. She let Arthur handle the rest.

Aria screamed at Arthur, "Arthur, please stop doing this! For the old times' sake, forget what I have done."

"You should be happy that I didn't ask him to order some thugs to gang rape you," Catherine told her.

"Thanks to your stupid jealousy, not only did I lose blood, but I was also almost gang-raped. I never harmed you. But you tried to harm me.

"You never thought about my situation. There should be no mercy for you if you can't show me mercy."

Her words stopped Aria from refuting. But she didn't want to give up.

Arthur gave her enough time to redeem but since she didn't, he ceased her powers and mobilized her. Taking the chance, Darius took her to the dungeon, the underground prison.

"What do you want to do about the thugs?" Ovior pointed at the thug leader.

The leader knelt before them and begged for mercy, "Please spare me. I promise I'll never harm you anymore."

Catherine shuddered. She didn't want to deal with this. "Excuse me," saying that she stood up and left the room.

'I can't take this. I know they had been tortured enough to tell who gave them money, but it's still hard for me to forgive them. Just thinking about yesterday's incident gives me chills,' she thought.

"I guess it's hard for her to kill him and bring justice," Ovior commented.

"How do you want to deal with him?" Arthur softly asked Veronica's opinion.

Veronica was still upset with him. Without talking to him, she stood up and stepped in front of the thug leader.

"Do you want mercy?" she asked him.

The thug leader found hope in her words. He bowed several times as his head touched the ground. "Yes! Yes! Please have mercy!"

"…" Veronica intently stared at him.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hiya my beloved Readers!!! I have some news to share with you all.

My elder sis is positive, and I've been suffering from cough and runny nose for several days. Since the day before yesterday, my temperature has risen a bit. I'm taking care of myself and taking meds. I hope I don't catch it.

I'm also preparing for my exam. I don't even have a month left and am super nervous.

Despite all that, I will try my best to update the book regularly. Forgive me if I make mistakes with my foggy head. I can hardly focus.

Please pray for me. _/_ _/_ _/_
