Chapter 73: Chapter 61: Is There Any Justice or Law Left? (3rd update, 5000 words delivered)_3

Now this woman is the one tremblingly apologizing to me, what goes around comes around, Yekaterina, you also have your day?

Qin Chu’s heart was filled with satisfaction, but the pleasure in his eyes was just a fleeting spark, unnoticed by anyone.

And Yekaterina, upon realizing it was her own initiative, lost all her original sharpness. The hate in her heart towards Qin Chu dissipated greatly, she no longer had any reason to detest Qin Chu. It wasn’t Qin Chu who took advantage of her drunkenness to take away her chastity, but she herself who had forcefully given her virgin body to Qin Chu.

If this affair were to spread, Qin Chu would also be ridiculed.

"You... why didn’t you resist?" Yekaterina murmured softly.

"Idiot, what level are you and what level am I, what strength do you have and what strength do I have, how could I possibly resist?" Qin Chu answered irritably.

Yekaterina fell silent; indeed, it was somewhat unreasonable to expect Qin Chu to resist in her presence.

The sharp, needle-like stares around her made Yekaterina extremely uncomfortable.

"The Hero is really too pitiable..."

"To be with such a rough woman..."

"Getting drunk and then going berserk, how is such a woman worthy of the Hero? She took a big advantage..."

"She blames the Hero for her own fault, and even wanted to kill Mr. Brave. Mr. Brave is the hope of Sky Dome Continent..."

"Is this woman really not some violent gorilla?"

Amidst the sharp accusatory glances and the whispering around her, Yekaterina seemed to hear such words.

She felt increasingly ashamed, her head bowed low, biting her lower lip, not daring to say a word.

Augustus felt that it was about time to put an end to this farce, after all, continuing like this was really bad for the image.

He coughed, quieting the commotion around him, then stepped forward: "Ahem, both of you, it seems this was all just a misunderstanding..."

"Alright, everyone disperse."

Augustus shot a warning look around the crowd, and everyone who met his gaze wisely lowered their eyes, fully aware that Augustus was warning them not to speak carelessly.

Many nuns, priests, Holy Knights, and the guards responsible for protecting Qin Chu all left.

Only Augustus, Qin Chu, Yekaterina, Rose Vesper, and Angelica remained at the scene.

"Miss Yekaterina, let’s consider today’s incident closed, you have no objections, right?" Augustus said to Yekaterina coldly, after all, he was upset that the Holy Court was attacked without cause.

"I can choose not to pursue your responsibility for attacking the Holy Court..."

Yekaterina’s expression brightened.

"However, as a member of the Hero Team and the teacher of the Hero, instead of guiding the Hero, you went to drink, and after getting drunk, you went on a rampage, tarnishing the Hero’s dignity and even came close to killing the Hero..."

"I feel that you are not suitable to continue being a member of the Hero Team, nor to continue as the Hero’s teacher..." Augustus’s words instantly cast a shadow over Yekaterina’s face. Indeed, she had made such a grave mistake this time, and it was fortunate enough that she was only stripped of her membership in the Hero Team without facing other punishments.

Augustus was already trying to save her dignity, hoping she would take the initiative to step down. Otherwise, he would join forces with Wozworth and Saint Monica to strip her of her status.

Yekaterina accepted this reality calmly, but Rose Vesper panicked.

The members of the Hero Team worked together unitedly, and they absolutely could not allow anyone else to join. Replacing any one of them with someone else would have a significant impact on their plans.

"Your Holiness, this isn’t right... Catherine only made a mistake for the first time; she should be given another chance..." Rose Vesper tried to persuade the Pope to change his decision.

But the Pope’s attitude was very firm, "A single mistake almost killed the Hero. Can you guarantee she won’t get drunk again? Can you ensure that the Hero will be saved in time the next time?"

"The survival of the Sky Dome Continent hinges on the Hero. Such a threat cannot be allowed to remain by the Hero’s side."

Seeing that she could not alter Augustus’s decision, Rose Vesper could only cast a pleading look towards Qin Chu, seemingly hoping that Qin Chu would say a few words in her favor.

After a brief consideration, Qin Chu said, "Enough, Your Holiness. Please give Yekaterina one more chance..."

"After all, her strength is not bad, and although the time she guided me in my cultivation was short, the results were quite good. As for the problem of her getting drunk, as long as Yekaterina isn’t allowed to drink to excess again in the future, that should resolve it. Moreover, given the current situation on the Sky Dome Continent, we must cherish every skilled individual."

Augustus frowned slightly, as if he hadn’t expected Qin Chu to still be speaking up for Yekaterina at this point, "Mr. Brave, are you worried about a lack of members in the Hero Team? There’s no need to worry; I can arrange for a powerful individual to join you, someone whose strength is in no way inferior to Yekaterina..."

"No, no, no. That’s not what I mean. I’m saying that the members of the Hero Team have worked together for many years, and they have grown accustomed to each other. If someone were to be replaced suddenly, there would likely be major conflicts, and their combat effectiveness might plummet."

The real reason, however, was that Qin Chu was loath to let go of this excellent ’toy’.

The revenge had just begun, and if Yekaterina were to leave now, it would be far too dull.

Before he tired of her, Qin Chu was absolutely not going to let go.

Augustus’s brows were tightly knit as he glanced at Qin Chu, then at Yekaterina and Rose Vesper, as if judging something. After a long time, he finally looked away, "Fine. Since Mr. Brave believes it’s not a problem, I won’t say anything more, but if Mr. Brave encounters any trouble, you can come to me anytime..."

Although he was eager to replace everyone by the Hero’s side with his own people, such things could not be rushed.

Yekaterina, who was kneeling on the ground, felt overjoyed.

This man had initially planned to keep the true nature of the incident a secret, because its revelation would destroy his reputation when he had suffered such great grievances...

So many people blamed her; Augustus even wanted to strip her of all her titles and honors, but only Rose Vesper and Qin Chu were willing to speak up for her. Rose Vesper was a good sister, which was normal.

Qin Chu was different. She had been like a wild gorilla, attacking him without understanding anything, and had even almost killed him, but Qin Chu was still willing to give her another chance.

Could it be that he was actually a pretty good guy?

All of a sudden, Qin Chu seemed to look a lot more appealing to her. Not exactly handsome, but the kind that looks better the more you look at it. After a while, you might even think he’s quite nice.

Although it was indeed a pity that she had lost her virginity so recklessly, if it was to Qin Chu, it seemed passably acceptable.
