Chapter 1185: Chief Justice

【You have killed Holy Warrior · Victory Poison · Joseph Ke.】

【Joseph Ke was the former Deputy Legion Commander of the 'Angoli War Zone'. Obtained 1.6% of World Source. Total World Source obtained: 1.6%.】

【Tip: World Source is extremely difficult to obtain within a native world.】

【Your talent 'Soul Eater' has activated, permanently increasing Mana by 30 points. Current maximum Mana limit is 4106 points.】

【You have obtained a Treasure Chest (Legendary Grade).】

【Tip: Treasure chest quality dropped within a native world will receive a bonus.】

Seeing that mere 1.6% of World Source, Su Xiao was not surprised. He had learned from the world introduction earlier that it was extremely difficult to obtain World Source within a native world.

According to Su Xiao's guess, although it was very difficult to obtain World Source in this world, the reward for settling World Source should not be low either.

As for the treasure chest, Su Xiao was somewhat surprised that an enemy like Joseph Ke could drop a Legendary Grade chest. It was true that Joseph Ke's strength was high, but he had obvious weaknesses in close-quarters combat. He was defeated immediately after being approached by Su Xiao.

According to Su Xiao's estimation, Joseph Ke would likely have dropped a top-tier Gold quality chest, but it dropped a Legendary Grade chest instead; this should be the bonus from the native world.

The value of a Legendary Grade chest was unquestionable. The Legendary Merit alone within it had high value, and once a Legendary Grade item was opened, it would be a huge profit.

Su Xiao did not hold too high expectations for this chest. After all, it was a Legendary Grade chest blessed by the native world, and it simply couldn't be compared to the Legendary Grade chest dropped by Senju Hashirama. But it was still Legendary Grade, so the harvest should be satisfying.

Su Xiao exercised his somewhat numb right leg. The power of that kick just now was terrifying. This side kick looked simple, but in reality, it contained many things.

First was Su Xiao's mastery of this side-kick attack method, followed by the bonus from the 【Kinetic Boots (Gold)】, the bonus from the 【Wood Spirit (Legendary Grade)】, and the bonus from 【Close-Quarters Combat Mastery: lv. 40】.

A seemingly ordinary kick actually hid murderous intent.

Su Xiao's attack method was just like this; his attacks were never flashy, yet under those inconspicuous attacks, several terrifying killing moves were likely hidden.

With a 'thump', Joseph Ke's head hit the ground.

"Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay."

Su Xiao murmured. A figure of Joseph Ke's level was, of course, not a mercenary. Before his head was severed by the Boundary Breaking Line, he had left his final last words.

"El, I have done my best."

The 'El' in Joseph Ke's mouth was, of course, Chief Justice Elvi Anthony.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already taken advantage of the chaos to find Elvi Anthony. This guy was not 'dumb' during battle; on the contrary, it was very smart.

When Xiang Bubu saw that portrait, it knew that it would absolutely be impossible to find Chief Justice Elvi with this thing, so it infiltrated the castle at the beginning of the battle, searching for the study within the castle.

The only people who could have a study in the castle were the owner of the castle or his immediate family. The owner of the castle was the Chief Justice, so his study would definitely have books related to law. Even if he didn't read them usually, it would make him look respectable when guests came to his home, giving people the feeling of being loyal to his duties.

Study, law books, middle-aged or elderly male—based on these three pieces of information, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang found a study within one minute of infiltrating the castle.

As for why Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wanted to find the study, this related to another issue.

Given the current situation, Chief Justice Elvi would absolutely not be reading in the study. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also guessed this point. It was looking for the study just to find a place with less scent, thereby judging which scent belonged to Chief Justice Elvi.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang spent a total of 2 minutes and 06 seconds to find Chief Justice Elvi's scent. After that, things were simple: tracking the scent and aura—Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was very skilled in this aspect.

It had to be said that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was not only not 'dumb' during battle, but on the contrary, its IQ was very high. As for why it was usually so 'dumb', pretending? Acting? That was not it.

When Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was idle, various 'silly operations' would appear in its brain. Sometimes it would put the 'silly operations' in its brain into action. However, those silly operations were very damn 'dumb', dumb to the point of breaking through the sky.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang spent a total of 5 minutes to find Chief Justice Elvi, who had already escaped the courtyard. After it took care of a few mercenaries, it 'tied' Chief Justice Elvi back into the castle.

At this time, our Chief Justice Mr. Elvi was sitting in the study, reading a book about law.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang squatted on the desk in front of Elvi and yawned.

"According to the Kingdom Constitution, adulterers shall be punished with death..."

Chief Justice Elvi was a slightly chubby old man. The expression on his face was somewhat distorted. In fact, he had long thought that the old king might get rid of himself, but he had always held a trace of luck in his heart. Moreover, he couldn't bear to part with the power in his hands, that great power where a movement of his lips could decide a person's life or death.

Chief Justice Elvi had made precise arrangements. He hired mercenaries, used debts of gratitude from over a decade ago to get a powerful Holy Warrior into his mansion to protect himself, secretly dug secret passages under his house, and used various channels to send his children out of the royal capital, etc.

The door to the study was pushed open, and Su Xiao walked into the study. Seeing Su Xiao walk into the study, Chief Justice Elvi put down the book in his hand.

"Iron Hand, you are much stronger than I imagined."

Chief Justice Elvi's hands were somewhat trembling, but unlike the three officials before, seeing Su Xiao, he was trying his best to remain calm.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang jumped down from the desk. It had let Chief Justice Elvi read law books to avoid Elvi doing any small tricks.

"Can I... have one last cup of tea?"

Elvi pointed to a cup of black tea on the desk that had already gone cold. Su Xiao didn't speak. Elvi smiled reluctantly and picked up the cup of black tea.

"Help me tell His Majesty the King, I... do not hate His Majesty, even if he kills me."

Elvi took a sip of black tea and was clearly much calmer.

"Who is the new Chief Justice?"

Elvi seemed to have guessed what would happen next.

"He will be here soon."

Su Xiao did not get rid of Elvi immediately; there were still some follow-up matters to handle. Moreover, there were still more than two hours left until the time limit for the side quest.

Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair in the study. He opened the reel of the Boundary Breaking Line and cleaned the bloodstains inside the reel and on the Boundary Breaking Line.

A few minutes later, the door was knocked.

"Come in."

Su Xiao spoke, and the door was pushed open. Walking into the study was a thin, middle-aged man with brown hair. Although his figure was thin, he gave people a sense of steadiness.

The person who came was named Steve, from a remote city on the kingdom's border.

"So it's Steve. His Majesty has prepared so thoroughly."

Chief Justice Elvi gave a miserable smile.

"I'll give you one hour."

Su Xiao continued to clean the Boundary Breaking Line, not looking up at the two people.

"Mr. Iron Hand, if it's only one hour..."

The thin middle-aged man Steve just spoke, and Su Xiao looked up at him.

"One hour... seems to be enough." Steve gave a dry laugh and stepped to the desk: "Former Chief Justice Mr. Elvi, let's begin." ===== CHAPTER 1186 =====
