Chapter 1285. Punishing (5)
“If you believe the Martial Assembly’s rules are unfair and illogical, come and speak to me. We will welcome any logical arguments and amend the rules to address your dissatisfaction.”
After making that announcement, Kang Jin-Ho glanced at Lee Hyeon-Su.
That prompted Lee Hyeon-Su to speak up right away.
“Come find me. Discussing the matter with me will be the first step. If I find your points valid, I’ll report them to the Assembly Master.”
Kang Jin-Ho shifted his icy gaze to the still-collapsed Ahn Dae-Hyeon.
“If this man had come to me before dealing in drugs and discussed the unfairness of his situation, his outcome would have been different. But he didn’t do that and went ahead with dealing in drugs. And now he’s talking about unfairness after he got caught. Are the two things the same?”
No, they couldn’t be. Everyone here understood that.
“Punishing a murderer with death might be illogical to some. However, the murderer himself arguing about it is quite funny, don’t you think?”
Kang Jin-Ho’s cold gaze moved to the shivering martial artists next to Ahn Dae-Hyeon.
“These men might have given their all to the Assembly, just like Ahn Dae-Hyeon had alluded to. And maybe, they haven’t received their fair compensation for their troubles. However, if that was what they truly believed, they should have made their positions clear and fight for what’s rightfully theirs. Using this kind of method is no better than insulting all those who did their best to walk the righteous path.”
Kim Won-Hyeok subtly bit his lip. Kang Jin-Ho was also right.
Maybe Kim Won-Hyeok would end up like those people. But that was still in the future where things had gone quite badly for him. Wasn’t he already doing his best for himself and for the Assembly without taking shortcuts?
