Despite having difficulty with his legs, Elon placed his hands on his wheelchair and was about to get out of the carriage when Isaac reached out and stopped him."It's not convenient for you to go out like this," Isaac said softly.After speaking, he reached out and lifted a small part of the carriage's door curtain and glanced outside. Under the scorching sun, a young woman was kneeling in the middle of the road with her head lowered, making it impossible to see her face clearly. All that could be seen was her body trembling continuously.Elon frowned and asked, "What is the matter?"Upon hearing this, the woman kneeling on the ground immediately cried out, "My lord, I am from the Ford family. I live in Greene Street of Cranlis City. The city lord's son, Abel Bellefleur, covets my beauty."Last night, Abel and over ten men broke into our home, attempting to forcibly take me away. My father and elder brother tried to stop them, but Abel ordered them all to be killed."The city lo
"The woman from the Ford family who was blocking the road and protesting today was just taken away by the city lord of Cranlis City."Isaac frowned and said, "I thought Elon had the Judicial Department investigate this? The woman is captured now?""Mr. Hargreeves has conducted the interrogation and reviewed the case files from Cranlis City. He concluded that the accusations made by that woman were false. Finally, Lord Tyrel gave his official approval.""Then why did you look for me?" Isaac asked again.Alcide lowered his head and said, "I believe the young woman from the Ford family is not falsely accusing anyone, but Mr. Hargreeves has already made a ruling, and Lord Tyrel has approved it. I...""Is Cranlis City far away from Royal City?""It's less than a two-hour flight away, to the southern gate of Royal City," Alcide said seriously.Isaac squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Take two of your trusted men and come with me to Cranlis City. Don't tell anyone except Elon."Isa
Seeing that the two men in front of him, who seemed to have high statuses, didn't even glance at him, Isaac took a step back and stood behind Alcide.Alcide, who was quite clever, saw Isaac's actions and gave a wry smile. "I didn't expect to alarm Mr. Bellefleur. Let's go then!"At this moment, the short and stout man in front smiled and said, "Mr. Newlin, you can go alone, there's no need for your servant to accompany you, right?"The then looked over at Isaac."It’s fine, it won't hurt for him to follow along and gain some experience." Alcide paused for a moment, now certain that they didn't recognize Isaac, and then firmly insisted.The two had no choice but to nod, turn around, and take off into the air.Isaac walked behind Alcide through the courtyard of the city lord's mansion, heading toward the main hall.In a study filled with an antique charm, a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and a scholarly appearance sat on a wooden chair. When he saw Alcide and Isaac come in
"Just now, the ones looking for us were the deputy city lord, Reginald Marshall, and a commander of military affairs, Loras Shivez. I asked around and found that Jimmy has been on sick leave for a while."Because his time was unexpectedly taken up by being brought here this evening, Isaac now had to start from somewhere else."Bruno holds all the power in Cranlis City right now, and I'm worried about this deputy city lord…""Let's walk and watch," Isaac said as he briskly headed outside.The two of them arrived in front of a mansion not far from the city lord's mansion. There were guards standing at the entrance. Alcide stepped forward, showed his Judicial Office badge, and said coldly, "I need to see your deputy city Lord, Jimmy Cosby. Open the door.""Lord Cosby is unwell and not seeing any visitors. Please understand," the guards said while immediately kneeling on one knee."Go and tell your lord that the Regency residence still has an open position. We are here to discuss his
Any woman who catches the eye of Abel was bound to have exceptional beauty, an impressive figure, and significant knowledge.The woman carefully made her way from Cranlis City to Royal City. After a long and arduous journey, she finally saw the official's motorcade. She thought that stopping the motorcade in the street that day and the hope given to her by the lords inside would bring justice for her parents and brothers.What she didn't expect was that just after one day, Bruno personally brought a group of people to escort her back from Royal City.Later, she was beaten and verbally abused, then thrown into the prison cell.This made the woman realize how naive and foolish it was to run to the Royal City to lodge a complaint. In this world, there was no such thing as fairness and justice; all that existed was officials shielding one another."Miss, I'm here to help you. Please stay calm!" Isaac said while holding her shoulders and frowning."I can't stay calm, you corrupt offic
The young man, who bore a slight resemblance to Bruuno, was shirtless. Upon seeing the unexpected intruder, his face was already flushed with anger."You fool, are you blind? Don't you two know that I'm resting here?" Abel scolded Alcide and Isaac harshly while pointing at them."Get out immediately, or else I won't spare you!"Alcide narrowed his eyes and swiftly dashed forward. Sensing danger, Abel prepared to resist by gathering spiritual energy, but Alcide's spiritual energy restrained him. With a quick move, Alcide grabbed his neck."You bastard, yo–" Before Abel could finish his sentence, Alcide pulled out his badge and stepped forward. Upon seeing the words 'Judicial Department,' Abel's expression changed."Abel, you brutally killed 17 members of the Ford family. Today, the Judicial Department is here to arrest you!" Alcide shouted coldly. His subordinates rushed in quickly and put a spiritual energy-suppressing rope around Abel.After Abel was pulled off the wooden bed, h
At this point, Isaac had such a refined control over his spiritual energy that he could wield it with ease. Because of this, Bruno couldn't perceive his true power before he made a move. Ever since last night, he hadn't taken this supposed "subordinate" of Alcide seriously.At the moment when Isaac made his move, he felt an intimidating force that shook him to his core."You were the one who insisted on keeping your son here. I'm conducting the interrogation. As for who I am, you don't need to ask, nor are you qualified to." Isaac glanced at Bruno, then shot a sidelong look at the stunned Abel."This lady here says you brutally murdered 17 members of their family four nights ago. Do you plead guilty?"Abel took a deep breath and shouted hoarsely, "I don't admit to it. I never went to the Ford family four nights ago. I was at Sparklers House that evening. The madam of the house and several girls can vouch for me."You fool, don't think that just because you have some skills, you ca
"This double-phoenix emerald pendant is known throughout the city lord's mansion to be always worn by your son. It was passed down to him by his late mother."And this emerald pendant was found by me in the courtyard of the Ford residence when I went to the scene the night after all 17 members of the family were killed.""Nonsense, complete nonsense, you're framing my son," Bruno immediately shouted.Jimmy sneered, "Framing him? Someone like me don't bother with framing. In Cranlis City, with its 1.7 million residents, who doesn't know that your son is the living Grim Reaper?"If you accuse me of framing, we can hand over this emerald pendant to the authorities. They can compare the soil in the stitching with the soil from the Ford residence's courtyard!"Isaac raised his hand and looked at Alcide, saying, "Well, with both the witness and physical evidence present, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Easteria, what punishment should the perpetrator of such a heinous crime rece
