"My God, Ace!" the people from the Alliance of Gods saw this scene, and they couldn't even believe their eyes.
One of them quickly went up to check, and eventually, his face turned ugly as he shook his head. Ace was completely dead, not even a true Divine Spirit descending could save him!
"What on earth happened!" Kurofuji Ryo gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Inoue Sakura's body was trembling, her hands tightly clutching the scissors, silent as if petrified by the scene before her.
"It's quite clear!" a person from the Alliance of Gods shouted angrily, "Clan Leader Kurofuji, our man died at the hands of your people, you must give us an explanation!"
If it had been an ordinary person who died, the people from the Alliance of Gods would not have lost their senses, but this was one of the disciples of the Twelve Main Gods, the strongest entity in the Alliance of Gods!
Kurofuji Ryo took a deep breath, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will definitely find out the truth and give everyone an explanation..."
Before he could finish, Kurofuji Youshun, with eyes red with rage, shouted, "Give you an explanation? I think you owe me an explanation! Why were people from the Alliance of Gods in the bridal chamber with my wife! Isn't the cause of this obvious?"
If looked at from the surface, everyone would come to the conclusion that the man from the Alliance of Gods got drunk and attempted to assault the bride, but she killed him with scissors in the struggle!
But aside from Kurofuji Youshun, no one wanted to believe that! Because both parties did not wish to completely fall out, and the Kuroto Family needed the support of the Alliance of Gods, and this was the Kuroto Family's home turf.
"You fool, the investigation is not yet clear, you have no place to speak here!" Kurofuji Ryo fiercely said, "Get out of my sight!"
Kurofuji Youshun was dumbfounded; to him, wasn't this situation clear? Although islanders might not highly value chastity, Kurofuji Youshun was still a man, and his goddess, whom he had gone to great lengths to marry, had been defiled before he could even touch her!
Moreover, this was the Kuroto Family, on their home turf! Any man worthy of the name would find this intolerable!
But what he hadn't expected was that even in such a situation, his father's first instinct was to placate the people from the Alliance of Gods, rather than to seek justice for him!
Rage and hatred burned within Kurofuji Youshun. If it had been his brother Kuroto Youichi involved in such an incident, would his father still be so conciliatory? The answer was certainly no!
"That's right, we indeed need to investigate this thoroughly!" At that moment, people from the Inoue Family arrived, and the Great Elder's face was grim as he said, "Although our Inoue Family is now in a decline, we are not so weak that anyone can belittle and insult us! Clan Leader Kurofuji, if you wish to hide your heads like turtles, you can hand this matter over to our Inoue Family! Inoue Sakura is now your Kuroto Family's daughter-in-law, but she is still our Inoue Family's treasured pearl and daughter, and we will not let this matter rest!"
Kurofuji Ryo now had a huge problem on his hands, with people from the Alliance of Gods on one side and from the Inoue Family on the other, both of which were entities he could not afford to offend easily!
And Kurofuji Ryo knew that if he could not satisfy both parties, it would bring great instability and unease to the Kuroto Family at this critical moment!
"Members of the Inoue Family, please rest assured!" Kurofuji Ryo could only placate the people from the Inoue Family again, "Inoue Sakura is now a daughter-in-law of my Kuroto Family, I will definitely seek justice for her! The most important thing now is to find out exactly what happened."
With a loud cry, at that moment, Inoue Sakura suddenly burst into tears and staggered into the Great Elder's arms, sobbing, "Great Elder, can I not get married? I am scared, I am really very scared!"
The Great Elder patted Inoue Sakura's back and spoke softly, "Child, don't be afraid. Tell me what happened, both Kurofuji Clan Head and I will decide for you."
Sobbing, Inoue Sakura said, "Just now, as I was changing my clothes, the door suddenly opened, and this drunk man barged in. As soon as he entered, he threw me onto the bed and began tearing at my clothes!"
At these words, everyone present turned their doubtful gazes towards the people from the Alliance of Gods!
The people of the Alliance of Gods were also embarrassed. Normally, Ace indeed had a flirtatious reputation, but they believed that Ace was not the type to act impetuously, especially not to assault a bride under these circumstances!
"You're talking nonsense!" a person from the Alliance of Gods retorted, "Ace would never..."
Before he could finish, the Great Elder snorted coldly and that person's face changed, swallowing the rest of his words.
"Such formidable power!" The display from the Great Elder made everyone's color drain from their faces. It seemed that the Inoue Family had a strong foundation, for the Great Elder was at least a master of the mid-stage of the Demi-God Domain or higher!
"Before the truth of the matter is clarified, I would ask that people from the Alliance of Gods keep their mouths shut!" the Great Elder said calmly, "This is Fusang, this is the Kuroto Family, not your European Twelve Main Gods Temple!"
Continuing to comfort her, the Great Elder said, "Child, speak whatever grievances you have, I will decide for you!"
Inoue Sakura nodded and said, "I struggled with all my might, telling him that I am Kurofuji Youshun's wife and that he couldn't do this to me, but, but he..."
While speaking, Inoue Sakura subconsciously glanced at Kurofuji Ryo, then fell silent.
"What did he say, tell me!" At this point, Kurofuji Ryo could only ask.
"But he said something ridiculous about the Kuroto Family and how the Kuroto Family would have to seek help from the Alliance of Gods! He said that without the Alliance of Gods, the Kuroto Family might have been annihilated by the China Dragon Group!" Inoue Sakura said, "He said a lot more, I don't remember it very clearly, I was just trying to break free. While struggling, my hand touched a pair of scissors, and then..."
The true nature of the incident became clear, and Kurofuji Ryo's face looked extremely displeased. It was not just because his daughter-in-law had been dishonored, but also because of the contempt the Alliance of Gods showed towards the Kuroto Family!
As for what Inoue Sakura said, he had no doubts at all. After all, he had clearly investigated Inoue Sakura's background, and she had no connections with the Alliance of Gods, so... most likely, what Inoue Sakura said was true!
"Impossible!" said a person from the Alliance of Gods, their face looking ugly, "Kurofuji Clan Head, do you really believe what this woman says? You do realize that the one who is dead is from our Alliance of Gods!"
"Hmph, good riddance!" At that point, the elder from the Inoue Family said coolly, "For committing such an outrage against the gods, his death is well deserved!"
