Make Them Regret It Chapter 37

The legal adviser was removed from office and sent into seclusion for reflection.
My father, for forcibly removing my Core, illegally imprisoning family members, and using false information that led to five deaths, was stripped of his abilities, expelled from the family, and exiled for life to the Alaska mining district.
My older brother and second brother, as accomplices, had their abilities sealed and were sentenced to thirty years of hard labor.
Colton, for failing to stop the theft of my Core, participating in coercion, and personally carrying out a whipping without evidence, was stripped of his status as heir, sentenced to thirty lashes, had his abilities sealed for fifty years, and was exiled for twenty years.
All assets, shares, and private property they had used to arrange the charade were forfeit and turned over to me as compensation.
