Bab 385: Spared?

Tens of thoughts went through Jiao Fan's mind, but the one thought that went on repeating was that he was mistaken from the very start and that he had messed up.

'I was blinded by the potential gains from the temple and forgot to read between the lines. How could I do this?' Jiao Fan cursed himself.

Jiao Fan had been a mayor for decades now and had dealt with all kinds of people. There was no lack of unscrupulous merchants and catharsis that wanted to take advantage. He was always 200% alert when signing a contract.

And yet… he had made the biggest mistake that he could have done. 

'Had I not chosen to enter the temple and had chosen to evacuate the city instead, perhaps all this would have been different.' Jiao Fan thought.

But Jiao Fan knew there was no medicine for regret now and he would have to bear the cost of his mistakes. He looked at Lin Wu and nodded his head.
