“He‘s wearing a black robe... He‘s a general of the Southern Plains! What is he trying to accomplish byappearing with the Blade of Justice at James‘ trial? Is he trying to exonerate James with the sword?”
The crowd was heatedly in a discussion.
Meanwhile, James sat at the defendant‘s stand and smiled.
Seeing the Blade of Justice, the Emperor‘s face darkened.
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Henry announced, “Though Sol is a country with a rule of law,many are able to escape justice by finding loopholes. The Blade of Justice serves to execute thesewicked criminals and give them what they deserve.”
Henry said with great confidence, “The Black Dragon, commander–in–chief of the Black Dragon army,has upheld Solean law by executing all those who escaped justice. The former heads of the Great Fourof Cansington were executed due to a massacre ten years ago. “Ten years ago, the Cadens, the mostpowerful and influential family in Cansington, were burned alive. The masterminds of this fire were fromthe Great Four. The Black Dragon did not let a single guilty person escape. Likewise, he did not kill asingle innocent man, woman, or child.”
Henry revealed some of the secrets.
The crowd was in an uproar. “I– Is that true?”
“Impossible.”
“James must have abused the Blade of Justice to kill the innocent! We can‘t let him off the hook thateasily.”
Hendrix, the Secretary–General, asked, “Black Shadow General, we can‘t just take your word for it. Doyou have any evidence?”
“Yes.” Henry nodded. “The evidence, please.”
James had ordered Henry to call Jay in advance. Through Jay‘s underground intelligence network,Henry managed to collect evidence and found much from Cansington‘s underworld.
They were present at the Cadens‘cemetery that fateful day. They saw with their own eyes how Jamesexecuted those who were behind the destruction of the Cadens ten years ago with the Blade of Justice
“I can testify that James killed many people with the Blade of Justice that day. They were all behind thedestruction of the Cadens ten years ago. They admitted to their crimes before their death.”
“One of my men recorded the moment they admitted to their crimes.”
The evidence was presented.
Allegations against James for killing the innocent were debunked.
Seeing this, the crowd was once again in a heated discussion. However, someone brought up theallegations that James accepted bribes and misappropriated the war reparations.
James did not provide an excuse for this.
After all, the allegations were indeed true.novelbin
Henry cried out, “He has fought for Sol and performed major meritorious services to the country. Even ifhe has accepted bribes, I think he should be acquitted.”
He continued, “They say that he misappropriated a total of 10 trillion dollars. But did you know that hecaptured the enemy commander–in–chief despite being pursued by the 28 nation martial art gurus and
the 100 thousand–strong enemy forces at Mt. Thunder? “The Black Dragon army swept across thebattlefield and annihilated the twenty–eight–nation alliance. In accordance with international law, thetwenty–eight nations were supposed to pay the ransom for the prisoners of war. However, Jamesdemanded that they pay ten times the amount.
“Why? Because of the million–strong Black Dragon army. “The ransom paid was equally divided amongthe army. The Black Dragon army guards the Southern border of Sol. We could be killed anytime. Is itsuch a wrong thing to do to distribute some of the war reparations to us?
“We have families too. But with the meager salary we receive, we can‘t feed them. Though we fightagainst the enemies on the battlefield, our families are being neglected. Have any of you thought aboutthis?
“Why did James establish the Transgenerational Group? He hopes for peace at the border. He hopesthat everyone can lead comfortable lives. “As you may know, James married into the Callahans uponarriving at Cansington. Has he ever splurged on anything? He has the Black Dragon card. The countrypays in his stead. Why then, do you think that he lacks money?”
Henry’s voice grew louder and louder.
The crowd was speechless. They could not find anything to retort.
Wielding the Blade of Justice, Henry walked over to James and knelt. He presented the sword toJames and cried out, “Dragon King, please accept the Blade of Justice. Exercise its authority and ridSol of its treacherous subjects.”
James stood up.
However, as he was enfeebled, he almost collapsed to the floor.
He lifted the blade of Justice with great difficulty.
Whish!
He pulled the sword out and examined it.
