Chapter 177: Save My Son!!!
Meanwhile, Scarlet and Cecil were angry with him for what he had done to them and were glad that he was being punished for his sins.
Every person at the scene was focused on the current events unfolding and kept their attention fixed on Rias, as the person who committed the crime was the grandson of the Grand Elder, and punishing him with a death sentence would be a big issue.
Thus, it was natural for everyone to be curious about what she was about to do to him and whether or not she\'d really execute him on the spot.
At this moment, a bright red sword appeared in her hands, with intense heat emanating from it. The blade glowed with a crimson light, like a blazing flame, that illuminated the entire place with its blinding glow. It was as if the weapon itself was alive and possessed an aura of its own, which could be felt by anyone within its vicinity.
It was with this sword that she fought countless battles, where she spilled rivers of blood and razed mountains into ashes. With it, she challenged the mightiest of foes and emerged victorious every single time. It was the symbol of her strength and authority.
And now she was pointing it towards Rick, ready to end his life at any given moment.
However, as she stood there, prepared to strike at a moment\'s notice, Ava looked at Nathan and shouted, "Father-in-law, please do something. He\'s your own grandson! You can\'t let him die like this! You have to save him. He\'s still young, and he deserves a second chance in life! I beg of you, Father-in-law, please save him for our sake."
Her desperate cries echoed throughout her surroundings as she pleaded for help. William also looked at him with imploring eyes and mouthed the words, \'Save my son\'.
Nathan\'s heart ached upon witnessing their despair. He could feel their sorrow and helplessness as they begged him for help. It was a terrible feeling that tore him apart inside. He knew he couldn\'t abandon them. After all, they were his family and his responsibility.

But he also knew that Rias had every right to punish Rick for what he did, as the leader of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Twilight Mist Sect.
He took a deep breath and sighed before closing his eyes for a moment before opening them again to look at Rias with a solemn expression on his face.
"Elder Rias, although I acknowledge that he has committed a grave offense and deserves to be punished for it, I would like to plead for mercy on his behalf and ask you to reconsider your decision to execute him. I hope you can consider my long years of contributions to the sect and grant some leniency in this matter.
I know this is selfish of me, but I hope you will find it in your heart to understand this old man\'s plight." He said in a sincere tone, expressing his earnest wish and hoping that she wouldn\'t go ahead with the execution.
Rias looked at the man standing in front of her with a fierce gaze without speaking a word, letting silence fill the atmosphere as tension increased in the air.
All eyes were on her now as they waited eagerly for her response.
The moment felt like it stretched for an eternity, as everyone remained silent and motionless, holding their breaths in anticipation of what she would decide to do next.
"Grand Elder Nathan, you should know how grave this is and that mercy isn\'t an option. Still, I am willing to compromise and not give him the death sentence since you asked for it.
Thus, I propose to cripple his cultivation and cut off his manhood to instill humiliation in him so that he could never hurt anyone again and leave him with no path to cultivation and no way to recover his honor as a man in the future," Rias stated in a calm yet firm tone of voice, revealing her thoughts regarding this matter.
There was no trace of hesitation or doubt in her words, only absolute conviction. She was clearly determined to see things through, no matter what happened.
"NO!!!!" Rick cried out in horror upon hearing her proposal, unable to imagine a worse fate than losing his dick.
Scarlet and Cecil\'s expression changed abruptly, and they realized how fitting it would be to punish Rick by chopping off his dick for attempting to rape them.
The same was true for Asher, as he found this to be the perfect punishment for Rick.
Even though everyone present was surprised by this outcome, no one thought it was inappropriate. On the contrary, many of them agreed with Rias\' decision.
It seemed like she had struck a nerve among many people and managed to win their approval by coming up with an ideal solution to the problem.
Meanwhile, William and Ava couldn\'t bear to imagine their son living in such a deplorable state. They felt sickened by the mere thought of it and wanted to object to this punishment. But Aria didn\'t let them speak and silenced them by increasing the pressure on their bodies even more, rendering them immobile.
Seeing the determined expression of Rias, Nathan didn\'t dare to say anything more, as he understood that this was the best he could get from her, and it was only out of respect for him that she made the concession.
Although it was still a cruel punishment, he decided to take advantage of her goodwill and accepted the offer, as it meant that he wouldn\'t lose his grandson to death.
"Very well, Elder Rias, I agree with your punishment. Please have mercy on my grandson and spare his life," He said with a deep sigh while nodding his head in acceptance of the verdict.
When she heard Nathan\'s response, Rias nodded back, "Since the Grand Elder agrees, then so be it!" She announced in a loud voice as she put away her sword. Then she extended her finger and pointed it towards Rick\'s groin.
The moment she did this, the air around her finger seemed to condense into a glowing red arrowhead. A split second later, the arrowhead shot forth like a blazing hot bullet that struck him right between his legs without making a sound and pierced his flesh with ease. It entered his body and burned his genitals before exploding his dantian, destroying all of his cultivation base and his meridians.
"AAHHHHHHH!!!!" A horrific scream erupted from Rick\'s throat as he fell to the ground, writhing in agony and clutching his crotch in pain.
Blood poured out of his mouth, forming a puddle beneath him, while smoke rose up from between his legs due to the burns caused by the explosion and scorching of his flesh.
This scene made all the men watching shudder involuntarily, as they couldn\'t even begin to fathom how painful this experience must have been for him and how traumatic the future would be.
