Chapter 52

Judgment

The judgment hall, whose dominant tone was dark and somber, today lifted the dust that had lain sealed for ages, welcoming its guest.

Inside the hundred-meter hall, it was utterly empty; apart from a lone figure standing alone in the exact center, there was nothing else. The silver-haired, golden-eyed man below the platform stood with his spine ramrod straight, indifferent.

Military Sentinel and Military Uniform

White Pagoda newcomer and openwork-carved floral chair

White Pagoda people

Right-side pen-holding sentinel

B-rank Guide and Bloodthirsty Vine

S-rank Sentinel and white-eyed wolf

He felt annoyed to death; his first time before the judgment hall was over such a trivial matter, and he felt it was a waste of time.

B-rank Guide, S-rank Sentinel, and White Pagoda

Female sentinel, handsome young man, new colleague, and starship

Military Court direct dispatch and Military Court Chief Judge

Huang Family's second-generation scion and the person in the middle

The upright, handsome young man seated in the center suddenly spoke: "What is your name?"

"Huang Wei." The man on the right, seeing that the Sentinel in the center did not turn his head, merely asked his name lightly, raised his chin slightly and replied arrogantly.

Newly arrived leader of the Huang Family

Huang Fu Ge

Huang Wei's heart gave a heavy thump; Huang Fu Ge is the current head of the Huang family and the current vice president of the military court.

He gave a light cough and answered as if unconcerned: "He is my uncle."

none.

Left female sentinel, Deputy Director Huang, and promotion

Huang Wei's temple twitched; what does this person mean? His uncle is the vice president of the military court, yet he treats him as nothing.

However, could the full name by which he addresses his uncle actually be his uncle's political rival?

The hall's doors suddenly opened and closed, and a wisp of ethereal, intangible mist fell onto the empty chair.

Purple hem, red handle, and Chan Yi

none.

S-rank Sentinel standing in the center and Xiguang

Silver-haired sentinel

Thinking of Little Sun's words, Chan Yi nodded to herself; indeed, he was quite excellent, and using him temporarily would not be unacceptable.

Huang Ting and White Pagoda

Zhong He, having completed the task, and trial court

Zhong He, Sixth Seat Sentinel, Major General, and Military Court Director

Chan Yi Guide

"After all, he is the poor little thing of our White Tower; we cannot let your Sentinels bully him all the time. Elders must always back him up, or else they'd really think the White Tower has no one."

Federal Military and Federal Military Regulation 355

"Is that so? Then the Huang family boy behind you doesn't seem to be doing that." Chan Yi wore a perfectly appropriate smile as she looked toward Zhong He.

"After all, this child is merely an intern and still doesn't understand these regulations." Zhong He replied flawlessly.

Although their voices were not loud, they caused Huang Ting, whose mind had gone blank, to suddenly snap his pen; the pen tip scraped across the paper, producing an extremely piercing sound.

Zhong He said to the female Sentinel beside him, "Take him away; this is no place for an intern."

Female sentinel wearing frameless glasses and A-rank Huang Ting

Just as she stepped outside the hall, a gust of wind blew; through her soaked clothes on her back, it felt chilly. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and her already limp legs, then leaned against a nearby building.

Without her supporting him, Huang Ting had already gone limp on the ground; to him, the world had been turned upside down, nothing could be more so.

Every word and deed of the big shots decides the fate of us little people.

The female Sentinel silently resolved to keep her mouth shut, to say nothing she shouldn't, and to do absolutely nothing she shouldn't.

none.

Inside the hall, Chan Yi and Zhong He focused their gazes on Xi Guang below; the man remained unmoved by the big shots' obscure struggle just now, still standing upright.

Xiguang Sentinel's unreasonable treatment of Fu Guang Guide

Chan Yi Guide can begin

"First, I must correct one of your mistakes."

Xiguang Sentinel's unreasonable treatment of low-rank Guide

When Xiguang decides to carry out Angel Guard, Fu Guang is truly a B-rank

How later people can know what happened at that time

Having the ability is a Scene-Replication Sentinel; voice and appearance, all natural scenery will be replicated, and nothing can be hidden

Fu Guang Guide was B-rank at that time, a low-rank Guide

Fu Guang is special, and both the Military and the White Pagoda have realized this

Almost certain next S-rank Guide

Whoever sees it must say something, and the White Pagoda has super lucky business fortune

The Military and the White Pagoda each have nine seats, but the White Pagoda now has only eight S-rank Guides

When voting, there will be one fewer vote, which is naturally disadvantageous for the White Tower.

As long as someone inside the White Tower advances to S-rank, they will naturally occupy one of the Guide seats, unlike the Sentinel seats which must be fought for, carving a path out of thousands of troops.

Chan Yi's fingertip lightly taps the stone table, and in the quiet space a "du-du" sound carries; she stares directly at Xi Guang, her voice echoing within the Judgment Hall.

"Leaving the fragile B-rank Guide on the battlefield—never mind who's right or wrong about this, in an emergency one must adapt, and the White Tower can understand that."

"But to force them to take part in combat, Xi Guang—is this your idea of justice?"
