Apotheosis

"Oh, you're the third son of the Zhang family. I didn't recognize you. Please forgive me!" muttered James in a rush.

The situation had him consider that he might have offended too many people when he tried all means to deal with Zen.

If he really killed Zen, it seemed that apart from the Zhu family, he would also offend the Zhang family.

"Master Mo, we have to measure and weigh the costs at times. Just as the saying goes, you need to take a step back and get some clarity on the situation!" Although Wurth didn't have much physical strength, he had deep insights into the human mind.

Perhaps James really strongly intended to kill Zen.

However, as head of his family, James had to ponder on numerous problems. In addition, he was not only implicated in a single matter, but also even acted on impulse just to protect the dignity of the Mo family. Although he protected the Mo family's reputation for the time being, how could the family live well in the future?

After observation, Wurth concluded that Nina undoubtedly showed great affection for Zen. After all, Zen had saved her life. If something bad happened to Zen there, it would be extremely difficult to provide the Zhu family with a sound and satisfactory explanation.

Moreover, Wurth himself would not remain indifferent provided that something did happen to Zen.

The Zhang family didn't have many rigorous requirements for its members. In addition, Wurth was the son of his father's principal wife, and his elder brother would shoulder the major responsibilities of the Zhang family.

Maybe it would not be an easy task to completely ruin the Mo family if Wurth tried persuading the Zhang family. Still, what about the future?

It was beyond any doubt that Wurth could destroy the Mo family as long as things went his way. Regardless of the intentions of the Zhang family or of Wurth, it was no

is expectations that Zen would even be able to lay his hands on James as he was closely followed by the energy of James' sword.

How troublesome the situation had become.

It made James even more hesitant as he debated killing Zen or not.

What would happen if he put Zen to death?

What could he gain from killing the man? At most, he could only help the Mo family and himself save face to certain extent.

The Mo family had already declined but its prestige might still be worth mentioning among ordinary folks, even if it meant nothing at all among the noble clans.

What was worse, James had already offended both the Zhu and Zhang families.

Had he known he would be in such a situation, James would have made some concessions. Since Nory claimed that the blood jade bracelet was his father's, nothing would have happened if James simply returned the bracelet to him. However, James forced Nory into something like hell.

Perhaps Zen would not have even laid his hands on the Mo family if James hadn't forced Nory that way.

Thinking of all that could have been, James felt regretful about Nory.

It was possibly the very first time that James felt such regret about his nephew even as he was coerced by everyone else.
