He thought for a moment and was about to speak when a stabbing pain came from his left foot — it was Hamilcar beside him who had stepped on it hard and shook his head at him with extreme seriousness.
Spartacus hesitated, and a brief silence fell in the room, followed by Cleonis breaking the silence.
"There was a slight conflict with Leader Maximus's group before, mainly my mistake! I was unfamiliar with the situation around Bari City and didn't know that it had already been conquered by Leader Maximus. As a result... here, I want to apologize to Leader Maximus." After Cleonis spoke, he stood up and bowed to Maximus.
Maximus quickly stood up too, and said apologetically, "I also made a mistake by not managing my men properly; they acted too impulsively. But this can be seen as a way for us to know each other through conflict. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to tell me. As long as I am able, I will do my best to help!"
