The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

Hearing that, Rocco couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger at the moment. He really wanted to kill this kid right here and now. He probably would have given order to his people to do that too but didn't.

Right now, there was a lot of attention on him. The people would be looking forward to his next action. So if he did anything unsavory then that will be linked to his future character forever.

If he gave the order to kill the brat, then in the eyes of everyone Rocco would be a true thug. Of course, it wasn't that the people already knew he had ties to the gang called Snake Tails, but for them it was just some connections to put fear into people to not run away with his money.

Also he couldn't announce that he was one of the sub leaders of the gang as it will put the gang in jeopardy. The army really didn't like some gangs as his, meddling in politics much.

So with no road to escape and no road to solution, Rocco didn't have any other choice but to apologize. He gritted his teeth in anger and spoke, "I… I'm sorry for the despicable act that I have shown today. Please forgive me for this sir an- and take the girl as yours."

"You still don't get it, do you?" The brat's words made him look up to see a disappointed look on Arthur.

"It wasn't my goal to make you embarrassed like this. It was to make you regret on your actions but the way you are speaking makes me realize that I have not done that."

"But, sir you have! I do regret my actions and that's why I ask forgiveness from you!" Rocco felt the pain with each word he uttered, "If my words displeases you than please forgive me for them too."

"It's still not enough."

Rocco who was on the ground already, asking for forgiveness in the most embarrassing way, couldn't help but want to stab this bastard thousands of times for this.

"What… What else do you want me to do?"

"I want you to apologize."

"But I am!"

"Not to me."

Rocco looked up in confusion to see Arthur looking back with a steel face. Understanding what he meant, he looked to his side and saw the father-daughter duo standing behind him.

Again, Rocco felt the pain and embarrassment this would bring him but yet found no other choice. He turned to the duo and begged, "I'm sorry sir for my despicable actions and I'm sorry that I've turned my despicable eyes to you, madam."

"Please forgive me for this!"

Everyone in the gambling house were shocked to their core seeing the boss begging like this. To them, the boss of the gambling house was an enigmatic figure, a powerful one.

One that didn't bow to fear and stood face to face against the strongest gamblers that owned him money. But after what they saw today, that illusion seemed to break from their mind.

With that, the respect they held too.

The heroine, who being apologized to felt something ominous from the owner and understood that she had to let this go here and leave. But her father on the other hand, saw the distinct change that appeared in the surrounding.

'Now's my chance!'

The guy sprang forward and said in loud words, "You fucking bastard!"

Rocco grit his teeth harder but yet not say anything.

"You are a leech that has taken money from countless people and enjoy while doing so."

"I can't just forgive you like this! I want you to give me back my money!"

"What money?" Rocco asked, "All the money that you've lost is because the house won fairly."

"YOU SCUM! How dare you talk back to me!" The father bellowed in mock anger, "I want you to give me back the twenty thousand pounds that you stole from me!"

"Twenty thousand pounds! But you didn't even have that much money on you." Rocco could see what was happening to him. So he knew that if he didn't fight back then he would not only lose his reputation but a lot of money too.

Arthur as well saw the what the guy was trying to do and wanted to stop him but felt hesitant when he heard the next words.

"But you took my daughter for that reason! Who knows how many others daughters you have taken by force."

"You… you were the one who offered your daughte-"

But the guy didn't let him finish, "You fucker! You're taking back again!"

The girl seeing her father getting agitated for nothing, tried to stop him. "Father, please stop. Don't say such words anymore. It's already over, let's just leave now."

'He's acting out unnecessarily again.'

The father shook his daughter away, "No, it isn't ending here. I want you to give all the money that you took from others too now!"

"What! I- I can't do that!"

"Why can't you? You're extremely rich right? I saw how big and beautiful your house is and how you have so many beautiful young women surrounding you." The father gave a sneaky laugh, "I'm sure you have more than enough to pay back all of us."

Arthur seeing this was about to stop the guy but the people instead made reason with the father.

"Yes, He's right!'

"Give us our money back!"

"You took our money because you only cheated!"

"If you don't give us our money back then… we'll raid your house and take your wife away!"

What once happened to be a normal problem, sparked into a full blown one just because of this one man. Rocco looked at Arthur in anger and couldn't help but curse this brat.

'Youuuu… because of you now I'm getting threatened like this for nothing!'

'Taking their money unfairly? I cheated them? All lies! I never cheated this fools, this bastards are those that would lose money to children if they could.'

Rocco knew that even if he gave them his money, he would still get beaten by them. So he would get hit but not lose money.

Arthur saw the domino effect falling on the people with the father's words and tried to calm the guy, "Hey, stop this!"

Instead he was shaken away too, "Don't try to stop me! I have to stop this guy here or others will be ruined like me too." The guy seemed as if he was carefully warning Arthur.

But in Arthur's eyes, he saw the greed in the father's eyes. Saw how the way, the corner of his mouth spread into a nasty smile and knew he made a mistake saving this man.

'This guy! He's not gonna stop until he's ruined the owner.'

Arthur knew that he had to do something right now. But before he could do that he was interrupted once more. But it wasn't the father this time.

'I think it's time to step in.'

I smile from the back place of the room where no one was giving any attention to me. I started walking to the center, moving away people to the ground without care.

The father seeing the chance, controlled his fist and went for a strike at the guy. But right before it could land, he felt it stop in its moment.

"Now now, why don't we be a little diplomatic huh."
