Although many of the elders were deeply dissatisfied, none of them dared argue with Rin.
The former City Lord was the pillar supporting Blazing Flame City.
His authority was unquestionable.
Rin swept a stern glance across the crowd before speaking again.
"You lot should apologize as well."
The elders exchanged awkward looks before reluctantly stepping forward.
One after another, they offered formal apologies to Nina.
After a brief silence, Nina waved a hand dismissively.
"Forget it."
Her expression softened slightly.
"The compensation I previously gave to Setan can still remain with your city."
Since Rin and the others had sincerely admitted fault, she had no interest in continuing to press the matter.
Rin shook his head.
"No need."
"We shouldn't have accepted compensation in the first place."
"The Blazing Flame Stone has benefited our people for generations. We have already received plenty from it."
Nina crossed her arms.
"I said you can keep it."
