Zongman: Being the leader in the wild world

"Can you tell me—what happened exactly?"

Wang Mo half squatted down and stretched out her hand towards the Mermaid King. Her eyes were full of concern. The Mermaid King was a little dazed for a moment. It had been a long time since anyone had shown such a concerned look to him. When was the last time?

…I don’t remember anymore.

The Mermaid King was stunned for only a moment. The next second, he raised his hand and shook off Wang Mo's outstretched hand. His eyes were full of disgust for her. He said, "Stop pretending here. I don't need your mercy. You can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

His force was very strong and Wang Mo was forced to take a few steps back. Prince Water was standing behind her and reached out to catch her.

"Are you okay?" Prince Water asked with concern.

Wang Mo shook his head gently at Prince Water and said, "I'm fine."

Seeing that she was fine, Prince Water then talked about the Mermaid King. He said, "Don't worry about him. This is his own choice."

Wang Mo fell silent after hearing that. She clenched her right fist and placed it on her chest, as if she was struggling.

After a while, she made a choice.

She reached out and gently pushed away Prince Water's arms that were wrapped around her, then turned to face the Mermaid King. Although there was worry between her brows, the determination in her eyes remained undiminished. She approached the Mermaid King again, ignoring his warnings.

She stood in front of the Mermaid King, who was still half-lying on the ground. This resulted in Wang Mo facing him in a condescending manner, which made the Mermaid King feel humiliated, and the ferocity on his face became more fierce. However, the next second, Wang Mo took a half step back, bent her right knee downward, half-crouched on the ground, and was at eye level with the Mermaid King.

The Mermaid King was stunned by her action, and the ferocious look on his face froze.

Wang Mo smiled at him tenderly, and said in a soft voice with a special magical power: "I don't know what kind of harm humans have brought to you, but I think that if you are willing to stain your hands with blood, then humans must have done something very excessive to you."

"Although I cannot represent all of humanity, I still need to say sorry."

"I'm sorry for hurting you. It's our fault."

Wang Mo stood up and bowed deeply to the Mermaid King. When Prince Water saw this, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop her, but halfway through, he silently withdrew his hand and stared at her quietly from behind.

The Mermaid King looked at Wang Mo who was bowing to apologize, his expression was dull for a moment, and then it twisted.

He said angrily: "Do you think an apology will work? Can the lives of our dead people be offset by a worthless apology? Don't be naive!!"

Wang Mo stood up straight. She was not angry or shaken by his words. She just said calmly and powerfully: "I know it cannot be offset. No matter whose life it is, it is precious. I don't ask you to forgive humans for this. I am not saying this to ask you to forgive humans. I just want to show you my attitude at this moment."

The Mermaid King was stunned: "Attitude?"

Wang Mo nodded and said, "I can't comment on your deceased clansmen, but what I want to say is that the deceased cannot be resurrected. What are you going to do with the rest of your clansmen? Will you continue to stand on the opposite side of the guild hall?"

The Mermaid King: "What else?! Do you want me to put aside the past grudges and live in peace with the Guild Hall and humans!?"

Wang Mo shook his head and said, "No, that's not what I want to say. Instead of going against the Guild, why don't you think about how to keep the remaining members of the tribe alive? Going against the Guild will only lead you further and further down a dead end. You know that very well, don't you?"
