The Charges

" silence "

Tak

"Let the accused enter the bench of the court."

After the presiding judge suddenly spoke, a heavy silence fell in the huge hall.

Tense family heads are sitting on their chairs, waiting for the accused to enter, with anticipation, as they try to guess the killer, is he mercenaries from the black organization? Is he just taking revenge on his own from the family of Tartarus? Does it have anything to do with the opponents from the previous revolution against us?

No matter what the family heads guess, these possibilities remain hypothetical, and they will now be confirmed to be correct or not.

Everyone in the hall knows the fate of the accused if his conviction for killing Hana Tartarus is confirmed, he will be of course sealed in the Shrine of Torment, which is a place established by the founder of the great Shen family, Sbonok Shen, whose goal is to imprison enemies and torment their souls throughout the years of their stay.

A frightening and disgusting place, rumors circulate that the shrine guards hear the screams of many criminals who have committed great sins throughout the past millennium.

In the past, Sabonuk Chen asserted that the shrine of torment is the most powerful prison that human beings can make when rising to the limits of their power and technology, and he also admit that prisoners must commit a sin against the holy families to be imprisoned in the place.

Above the wall of the shrine of Torment is writing the phrase 'who enters will not come out until his soul left his body.'

Clank

What can be heard in the middle of the hall is the sound of chains hitting each other, the sound of footsteps advancing to the center of the stage, everyone holding their breath out of eagerness to find out the accused.

Clank

A thin-skinned young man with shabby blonde hair and cold red eyes entered the stage. From his aura, he seemed to be nothing but an H-Class Hunter, behind him a boy with shiny blonde hair and green eyes full of confidence and contempt.

Everyone in the hall recognized the child accompanying the prisoner, Adam Zoldak, the child prodigy who strangely caught the criminal and presented him on a plate of gold, the child who smashed the scales and woke up at the age of nine.

Everyone in the hall described him as a monster. If the children of the heads of families were monsters, then this boy in front of them is the king of the monsters and the most talented of them.

Everyone in their hearts wished for a son or grandson with a terrifying talent like Adam.

Everyone turned their attention to the skinny young man who seemed to be falling from lack of health, a weak, worn-out structure, ragged clothes, and empty and clumsy eyes.

No one could guess the identity of the killer in front of them as no one had thought that the accused was the first son of the Zoldak family, whose name was recently erased from his family records, Mark Zoldak.

When seeing the boy, all the bosses thought of one thing, which is that the Zoldak family is mocking them, how could a class H hunter defeat an elite class A hunter like Hana Tartarus, this is absurd, but the difference between the ranks cannot be so overwhelming.

The difference between a class H hunter and a class A fisherman is like the difference between a river and an ocean, but rather like the difference between a newborn infant and an adult.

The head of the Tartarus family, Tom Tartarus, gritted his teeth and shouted in a voice loaded with frightening mana:

" Are you kidding me, Zoldak family? Are you telling me that this H-Class Hunter defeated my daughter? You are now slapping my face on the fill and also the face of the other families? "

Then reply shouting with full force:

"Do you have any intention of dying? This old woman can show you the consequences of lying to us."

Sam Zoldak looked at Tom Tartarus's face and said calmly:

"Just watch and judge for yourself."

"I think all the great leaders are wondering how a weak young man like this, could kill the young lady Hannah. I understand your anger, presiding judge, but you should hear the facts and see the evidence, and then we can all judge it."

Adam Zoldak spoke while barely smiling at Tom because of the powerful aura around him that made his body shiver automatically.

Tom Tartarus relaxed his stifling aura, then his golden eyes stared at Adam intently,

" Thank you for understanding, Senior Tartarus, so let's begin first and tell you who the killer is ".

Then he adds:

"He is my half-brother, Mark Zoldak or rather Mark. His name has been discarded in our family records due to the scandal of his prostitute mother, Sarah Bolton. I beg your pardon for this term if it is considered an insult to the Bolton family, but I assure you that Mark in front of us is the son of Sarah Bolton with another man "

"Enough"

The head of the Bolton family screamed while curbing his rage, how could a child who did not even reach puberty insult his glorious family?

"How dare you insult my family in front of me?"

The head of the Bolton family released an S-Class Hunter aura throughout the hall, causing Adam to automatically kneel on his knees. The debate did not stop to that extent, as Sam Zoldak intervened to defend his son from the aura of Bolton President by unleashing his own aura to suppress the other aura.

However, the strange thing is that Mark did not kneel or shook from his place due to the stifling auras, but rather remained standing comfortably as if he had not been affected.

Only Hunters of S Hunter level or more, could exceed Hunter S pressure and not be affected by it. But Mark before them achieved the impossible, a weak hunter who had surpassed the pressure.

Everyone concluded that there was something special about this young man in front of them. Even Sam Zoldak and Adam were surprised by the sudden turn of events.

Adam narrowly breathed and said:

"You saw that Mark was just faking his class of technology of some kind. I am frankly surprised when he releases strong pressure upon being caught and imprisoned in the past months."

Adam took advantage of this opportunity to convince the elders of the families of his evidence, and end the matter smoothly:

"Believe it or not, he deceived you easily with his filthy appearance. Just listen to the evidence of his indictment."

Adam threw a small black ball on the ground, where a video clip began to appear.

"I will play the hologram video of a spy to our family. He was lucky to record the conflict between two men in black clothes and the young lady, Hannah."

Then Adam played the video, the sound of the fighting spread across the hall,

Bom

Slash

Boom

Aaaah

Then Adam began to explain what had happened in the video:

"The two masked men are loyal subordinates of the black organization, both of them from Class A. Hana was unable to escape due to their preparation in advance and their positioning of a magic formation to prevent the target's escape."

Then he added with a smile:

"Hannah tried to escape valiantly, but in the end, she was hardly captured by the two masked men."

Adam smiled cunningly, then got out of his storage ring two heads cut of two adult men,

"My intelligence network in the black organization tracked down the two men and discovered their identities: Mark Tyson is a celibate mercenary and Ronar Finland is a first-class mercenary married with a son and wife. I have ordered my soldiers to kill the Ronard family out of my anger over Hannah's death."

Adam threw another black ball to the ground, a video clip showed of Ronar with a totally deformed face from the frequent torture,

" This is the final proof of Mark's conviction? It saddens me that a killer is born in our family, but we cannot change the destiny, is it?"

Then Adam played the video clip, with audio and video, Ronar admitting that Mark Zoldak was the murderer.

"Don't hurt my family. Well, Mark Zoldak joined the ranks of the black organization. Our leadership liked him to join because of their desire to study his space element. We were ordered by him to kill a woman because she mocked him and insulted him in the middle of the bar. We tried to convince him that she is from a strong family but he refused to listen and he told us that he does not care about the law as it will inevitably the destruction of the twelve families."

noise

" silence "

The presiding judge spoke with anger,

Then he added:

"Why does the accused not defend himself?"

Adam interrupted him and said:

"It is a mantra of spiritual hypnosis. He is physically present, but his soul is hypnotized."

"Wake him up," said Chief of Tartarus,

"I beg your pardon, old man."

"I said to wake him up, I want to hear the side of his story with his mouth."

" Okay "
