Chapter 18: Asking for an apology

Qin Tian had always wanted to improve his combat power.

Therefore, when he saw the combat skill option, he didn't hesitate in the slightest.

As for the cooking skill? Are you kidding? As rich as I am, when will I have a chance to cook?

So… he chose the combat skill, without further delay.

—————

Host: Qin Tian

Strength Points: 110

Charm Points: 550

Luck Points: 200

Health Points: 100

(The average value for a normal adult male is 100)

Villain Points: 400

Skills: Divine Toxic Medicine, Maximum level Combat skills.

—————

His luck points were accumulating fast, currently double of an average person.

And after getting the maximum level combat skill, he had a lot more things planned in his mind.

Although his strength points were not enhanced, Qin Tian was sure that his current self was so much stronger than when he only had true qi.

Before, he was like the Void Bamboo inside the novel Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, who only had internal energy but no combat skills.

Before, internal energy was the only thing he could use when fighting, so if he encountered ordinary people, he could still fight with a few.

But if he encountered a real practitioner, he certainly would not be able to stand a chance.

And now, he was like a master.

He had both combat power and internal power.

So even if he met a dozen or so martial artists, he would be able to deal with them easily.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so long, Mr. Qin actually gained so much insight?"

Su Zhengyang picked up the wine glass that the waiter had just handed to him and poured a glass of Romanee Conti for Qin Tian.

"Here, Mr. Qin, I'll toast you."

"Please."

Of course, Qin Tian did not turn down the request and picked up the red wine glass.

Red wine, the wine that resembled status and elegance.

Drinking red wine, all one needed was the taste, so the two naturally did not dry the glass like if they were drinking liquor or beer.

After a small sip, the two chatted some more.

As the dishes were served, Su Zhengyang then started talking.

"Mr. Qin, to be honest, this meeting,… apart from the cooperation negotiation, there is a small matter on my side that needs your help, Mr. Qin."

Hearing this, Qin Tian was somewhat able to guess what he wanted, but still said, "If Mr. Su always has something to say, we can go straight to the point, and there’s no need to beat around the bush."

"Oh??"

Qin Tian's quickness made Su Zhengyang a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, since Mr. Qin said so, then I will be more direct. Lin Feng, who ran into your son yesterday, is related to my Su family…"

Su Zhengyang said while carefully observing Qin Tian's expression.

After seeing that the other party didn’t have too much of a reaction, he continued, "Can you please, Mr. Qin, not make a big deal out of it and exempt Lin Feng from going to jail?"

The crime of intentional injury was more than enough for someone to be sent to jail.

But if the victim didn’t want to pursue the case, the offender was able to be exempt from the criminal law.

"Of course, Lin Feng has indeed gone too far, so if your son requests anything to compensate for his injury, as long as it is something that my family's power can  reach, I, Su Zhengyang, will not refuse."

Sure enough, it's about Lin Feng, ah.

Because of the system reward, it was clear that Su Zhengyang was the supporting character.

In order to save Lin Feng, Su Zhengyang actually came to have a negotiation with me?

Qin Tian was still a little surprised.

One must know that the Su family's power and status were not inferior to the Qin family.

Lin Feng just came to Qiuming City a few days ago, right?

And he already climbed the Su family tree?

Sure enough, the protagonist was undeniably powerful and had a background relationship that did not follow human logic at all.

"So it's because of this matter, huh?"

If it was Qin Tian a few days ago, he might have gone with the typical plot routine.

But now…

Qin Tian pretended to think for a moment before he spoke, "To be honest, Mr. Su,… I really didn't know that this kid would actually get involved with your Su family. In fact, in yesterday's incident, it was my son who was at fault first. If that kid, Lin Feng, hadn't hit so hard, I would have taken it as a lesson for Shijie. There was no need to arrest him at all."

"Then, Mr. Qin, you mean…"

Hearing Qin Tian saying these words, Su Zhengyang was even more surprised.

"Since you are the one who’s requesting a release, if I still don't agree, won't it be too unacceptable to you, Mr. Su?"

Qin Tian smiled, then casually waved his hand: "But as for compensation or anything like that, it will not be necessary. Just one thing, however, I do request from you. Let him come over and give me an apology, then this matter is considered to be over, Mr. Su, what do you think? An apology is not too much to ask for, right?"

"Not too much, not too much, this is the right thing to do."

Deep in his heart, Su Zhengyang was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

Originally, his plan was to first test Qin Tian's mood during the meal.

If Qin Tian could buy his request, then that would naturally be the best.

However, he knew by experience that this was impossible.

With his understanding of Qin Tian, Qin Tian would either request an impossible or highly provocative agreement from the Su family, or he would turn against the Su family to take revenge for his precious son.

There was no third option.

And these two options, no matter which one Qin Tian chose, would end the Su and Qin families’ relationship.

This was also the reason why he talked to Elder Su at home, he said that the Su family would have to offend the Qin family for saving Lin Feng.

But he never even considered that Qin Tian would agree.

And all he requested is an apology from Lin Feng?

Given such a good deal, of course, he agreed without a second of delay.

At this moment, Su Zhengyang did not expect that this matter was not as simple as he thought.

Not to mention, just getting Lin Feng to apologize to Qin Tian was almost an impossible task.

You know, the protagonists have their own protagonist halo.

Have you seen a novel protagonist apologizing to a villain?

Of course, no.

This was simply not possible.

If there really was such a wimpy protagonist, then this novel would definitely be dead before long.

    I'd actually like to see more novels where the protagonist apologizes for mistakes they make. That's some sort of toxic Chinese ideal where they don't.

    Boom! Critical hit!

    I like it when reincarnated/transmigrated MC's use their past knowledge well usually they go full dumbass and never use their past life experience besides some superficial moves here and there

    I'm pretty sure I ever read a novel when the protagonist apologizes to the villain, I believe it was the beginning after the end, the protagonist begging the villain after he severely lost and his lover taken hostage.
    And they're also some but I couldn't recall it.

        It was in the war arc, the villain outplayed the MC's really hard, and when the MC heard that his lover was taken hostage he immediately begged him to stop and was even willing to be his subordinate.

            I don't really remember either, it was when the MC training at the upper realm and the demon wage war at the lower realm, the MC comes back and become an anchor of humanity but they lost really bad.
            The reason I still remember that the MC begged, was because I was really upset at him, not because he was begging to the enemy but because before the war started there was one noble family that deflected to the demon because they are sure that humans will lose and the patriarch of that family just want his family to survive, the MC know about it and then executed most or maybe every of that family members.
            Yet this MC immediately gives up to the villain after his lover was taken hostage, he doesn't give a shit about anything else he literally abandons humanity, like f#ck right I was really upset when I read it back then.

              you might be mixing up stories as the human families were not traitors in this story except for one dude and even he was half elf. Though you might have misunderstood the dwarf family as human as they were the ones who were the traitors and did that for their own greed

                Dude, I still remember that the elf king betrayed humanity because his daughter(Mc's lover) was taken hostage by the demon, it was also the reason why humanity lost.

                  I don't remember the exact chapter either, the only thing that I remembered is the MC admits defeat, he begged to the villain to remove the curse he planted in his lover by offering himself, but the villain refused and said it was way too late for him.
                  The villain is someone that knew that the MC is a reincarnator.

                  I know right? the author makes amazing world buildings and characters, but it's like he literally challenging the loyal and captivated readers loves into changing their perspective throughout his novel into hatred then dropping it, by literally make infuriating and disappointing plot here and there ( i mean the thing called cliché is nothing bad because it's what the audience wants since its been tested through fire and water since ancient times, you just have to add plot twist so that it wouldn't be boring). Fu#k, the author just makes his dwarf friend dora-something dies in gore directly, his girlfriend was almost raped in the most vivid description before barely being stopped, his identity as one of a kind prodigy is forcibly pushed to the forefront of humanity and their enemies with gratting process, the last straw was when he tells his family that he is actually an old man and probably killed their actual son for his body(f#cking really? That's like the number one thing that shouldn't be done because you can just count people that were happy about the development than the millions that almost or already dropped the story)

    Everyone's looking at the apology, but I'm looking at the last line. Author knows his (her?) tropes.

      I remember in at least a few of the stories the MC literally couldn't apologize or else their Doa or something would collapse and they'd be unable to cultivate.
