Chapter 1141 Justice Delayed

"Alas, Musk, my father made a mistake in marriage. To be honest, Umberto is the legitimate heir of the Colombo family, and I am just an illegitimate child." Simone said embarrassedly.

"Why are you the illegitimate child?" Musk asked in surprise.

"When my father married my mother, his first wife was still alive. He had not gone through the divorce procedures or obtained the permission of the Holy See, so he and his first wife were still in a marital relationship in law."

"Under such circumstances, my father went to the Kingdom of Feizhen, changed his name and surname, forged an unmarried identity, and married his second wife, my mother. Whether according to the laws of Hailan or the Kingdom of Feizhen, this is an indisputable crime of bigamy!"

"As the product of an illegal marriage, I can only be regarded as an illegitimate child without inheritance rights, unless..."

"Unless your father's legitimate eldest son, that is, Brother Umberto, voluntarily gives up his inheritance rights and transfers all rights and interests to you." After all, Musk passed the judicial examination and is not unfamiliar with these laws involving marriage and inheritance disputes.

"Yes, the reason why I have my current status and am regarded as a noble young master is because my elder brother took the initiative to give up his rights." Simone looked guilty, "In fact, everything I have now should belong to him. I owe him too much..." "You don't need to feel sorry for this, Simone. I know Brother Umberto very well. He doesn't care about the so-called noble title or your father's property. He earns his living with his own hands. What he has now, including friends and family in Feizhen, is enough to make up for everything your father can give him, and more than enough." Musk's words seemed to hurt Simone's nerves, and he couldn't help but protest. "Hey! Musk, I respect Brother Umberto very much, but running a gang is not a decent business after all, right?" "Brother Umberto is not just running a gang, but also establishing order on a street full of violence and chaos, and sheltering the little people who want to live a stable life in the dark corners where the law is absent." Musk's words became more and more explosive. "He treated us as inseparable family members, and we sincerely called him 'Archangel' - isn't this more glorious than your father's noble title obtained by betrayal and fraud?!"

Simone's face changed.

"Musk, my friend, you need to calm down! Indeed, my father betrayed his first wife, and for this he has been repenting all these years and trying to be nice to my eldest brother... But you said my father was a fraud? This is too insulting!"

"I'm sorry, Simone, no one in the world is more qualified than me to accuse your father of being a despicable fraudster!" Musk's eyes were blazing, "Because I am the son of one of the victims!"

Simone was stunned.

"God, what is going on?"

"It's a long story..."

With a heart full of indignation, Musk recounted the grievances of both fathers.

"Simone, you are a holy warrior, you can use divine magic to verify whether I have told a single lie! Use your 'realm of honesty' and 'detect lies', I have a clear conscience!"

"Don't get excited, my friend, there must be some misunderstanding here..." Simone's heart was also in a mess, but he was still trying to comfort Musk, who was full of grief and anger.

"The matter has been investigated clearly. If you don't believe me, go to Captain Dantes. He has served your father for many years and has personally experienced what I just said!" Musk threw another "blockbuster bomb".

"Captain Dantes..."

Simone certainly recognized Dantes, and knew how close the relationship between the captain and his father was.

Since Musk pointed out with certainty that Captain Dantes was the witness, Simone couldn't help but doubt it. Did his father really defraud his business partner?

Recalling the hasty move many years ago, and after returning to Patus, his father inexplicably changed his name again, almost cutting off all the social connections he had worked hard to build in the Kingdom of Feizhen. If this was not embezzlement of public funds and absconding from the crime, how could it be explained?

Recalling his father's various abnormal behaviors in those years, Simone's mood gradually became heavy.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew in his heart that Musk's accusation against his father was likely to be well-founded.

After hesitating for a while, Simone spoke again, with a pleading tone.

"Musk, for the sake of our friendship, especially for the sake of Brother Umberto, I beg you not to publicly accuse my father. Can we solve this matter privately?"

"How do you want to solve it?" Musk asked coldly.

"I think... since my father owed your father in business, he should make corresponding financial compensation. You... tell us the amount, and we have absolutely no objection!"

Feeling that Musk's face had darkened, Simone quickly added: "Of course, this is not just a matter of money! What's more important is justice, yes, justice! Musk, I will try to convince my father to personally apologize to you and give your father justice!"

"Is that all?" Musk asked with a sneer.

"Uh... what do you think?" Simone looked at him anxiously.

Musk took a deep breath and spoke with a full heart of indignation.

"Simone, you are an upright paladin and an independent prosecutor. If the person involved in the case is not your biological father, do you think monetary compensation and a private apology can be regarded as justice?"

Simone was speechless.

That's all. Justice is too cheap, let alone justice that has been delayed for many years.

However, the accused party is his father after all, and he cannot be truly selfless on this issue.

"Simone, my father was killed by your father. Logically speaking, I have the right to demand compensation for your father's life! However, the tragedy of family destruction... It's enough for me to experience it alone. I can't bear to let you and brother Umberto also suffer. Father’s pain…”

Musk endured the sadness and made the greatest concession.

"I'm not short of money, so I'll just pay compensation, but I want to save my father's soul in heaven!"

"So?" Simone asked tentatively.

"Sir Colombo must publicly repent. He must confess to the newspaper that he framed my father, and tell the dirty things he did in his own words verbatim!"

Simone couldn't help but take a breath.

"Musk, if my father really does this, his reputation will be ruined! For an old man over fifty years old, this is really cruel!"
