"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
"Stop right there!" Jonah shouted angrily at the group of soldiers grabbing Abel by the large iron cage as he quickly descended.At the very moment Abel was about to be thrown into the iron cage, he was suddenly pulled out. Upon seeing Jonah, Abel closed his eyes and burst into hearty laughter while looking up at the sky.He knew he was saved.Jonah and the other two were brought to the execution platform, and Alcide immediately stepped forward and knelt down."Lord Tyrel, Lord Hargreeves, these two scoundrels are ignoring the Judicial Department's verdict and the Regency's decrees, which is to openly capture Abel and subject him to the biting punishment."Lord Tyrel, Lord Hargreeves, please immediately capture these two lawless individuals," Bruno, who was standing a bit further back, shouted sternly while dropping to one knee.Two muffled sounds came from in front of him. When Bruno looked up, he saw that Jonah and Gerome were kneeling directly in front of Isaac.Bruno was stu
But now..."It didn't happen overnight for your son to become the way he is now. These things build up over time."Lord Tyrel, you've been immensely helpful from behind the scenes.""Just look at the people around us; you can see how much your son has been disliked and how much trouble he's caused!"Alcide, take Lord Tyrel to the city lord's mansion."Alcide suddenly looked up, feeling extremely frustrated and overwhelmed.He thought, "Mr. Garten, if you want to kill Lord Tyrel's son, you can't expect me to take him away, can you? That would be like walking into a fire."Furthermore, Alcide didn't expect that even though Jonah had admitted Abel was his illegitimate son, Isaac would still show no leniency at all!"Lord Tyrel, please!" Alcide forced himself to make a gesture inviting him in.Jonah turned his head and gave Abel, who was next to the iron cage, a deep look. His eyes turned red.At this moment, Abel also looked toward Jonah, his face filled with pain, and shouted,
Inside the city lord's mansion, the atmosphere was very oppressive.In the main hall, Jonah sat expressionlessly on a chair, with Isaac standing right in front of him.Bruno and Gerome knelt quietly to the side. Alcide looked around nervously and quickly retreated to the back, withdrawing his neck as if trying to make himself less noticeable."In my hometown, there was a saying about upholding justice even if it meant dealing with family."Since the Judicial Department under the Regency is responsible for executing Abel, it falls to you, Jonah, to oversee the execution!" Isaac said coldly.Seeing that Jonah remained silent, Isaac spoke again, "If it weren't for your previous contributions, I would've killed you along with the others today!"Upon hearing this, Jonah looked up at Isaac with reddened eyes and smiled, "Yes, you are incredibly powerful, and can obviously kill whoever you want."Seeing Jonah's reaction, Isaac felt a bit more at ease. He walked over, patted him on the
