"Baron Victory!! Stop this madness!! Are you not afraid you will implicate your Family?!" asked the head judge angrily.
"Well, if you want to offend a seventh-grade The Meteor and the Duke Fire Dragon, then be my guest. Let me warn you, my uncle and father are not as peaceful as me." retorted Angus.
"Prosperous!! Did you not respect our law?" roared the head judge.
"Did you?!" replied Angus while coming closer.
"Y-You…" said the head judge but unable to refute Angus.
Everyone in the courtroom clearly heard the head judge ignore the military law and made his own decision. In this case, Angus is not wrong to play ruffian.
"Noble district, Maple street no 235. Seems familiar?" asked Angus coldly.
"H-How did you know my address?" asked the head judge back.
"You have a quite diligent son, don't you? Brown hair and brown eyes like his own father. Oh.. Did he want to follow your path to become the head judge?" mocked Angus playfully.
"Don't you dare bring my son into this?!" roared the head judge.
"Why not?! You are the one that brings my family first into this matter. Since you dare to bring my family, I should do the same, no?" said Angus before snapping his finger.
*Whoosh* [3rd Circle - Fire Wyrm] A bright magic circle appeared below Angus, creating a large terrifying Fire Wyrm. The already hot courtroom became hotter as some of the weak nobles fainted on the spot while the others escaped the room.
As for the guards and knights nearby, they are signaled to evacuate the audience and not approach Angus. Although Angus does not join the army, his fire elemental mastery is famous in the knight's circle.
They had already heard many rumors about Angus roasting the newly formed explosion squad with his fire mastery alone. If they move recklessly, their low-rank guards and knights will be burned just by getting near him.
Moreover, they also find some strong people like the Duchess Amberblaze, the princes, and the other family head nobles who didn't move from their spot.
All these high-ranking family nobles are high-grade combatants, some even war veterans. Most of them also have a certain fire elemental mastery to withstand this kind of heat. Then, the Fire Wyrm flies away toward the head judge.
"Arrghh!!" cried the head judge in fear.
However, the Fire Wyrm didn't charge at the head judge but passed through above the head judge before breaking into the wall behind him. All this scene happens while no one moves to stop Angus.
It is not that everyone does not dare to move against Angus. Before Angus creates Fire Wyrm, he already warns every strong person in the room to not move carelessly or they will be forced to fight against him to death.
"Guard!! Hurry to apprehend this mad man!!" roared the head judge.
Just as the judges were relieved that Angus missed, "A.. A.. Careful now. A single snap of mine could explode the whole head judge house and whoever is inside it."
"Although it is a temporary job, I still teach the whole explosion squad. You don't want to test my patience now." said Angus playfully.
"Urgh.. What did you want?! Did you think you could get out of all this mess easily?" asked the head judge.
"I don't know how much you get bribed or ordered by who. However, if you think I will go down with this, you are all wrong!! You said before that I didn't respect our law, but it is you that didn't respect our law." roared Angus in anger.
"Did you know why the law was created in the first place?" added Angus.
Without waiting for everyone to answer, "It is to prevent this kind of violence and unnecessary bloodshed. You threaten my family. I threaten yours.
"Then, what next? I killed your family. You go revenge, kill mine. In the end, it will become an endless cycle of killing and hatred." said Angus loudly.
"This is why the law was created in the first place. It prevents this kind of tragedy from happening. However, you!! The head judge. Dare to just bluntly ignore our law and decide to make your own judgment just because you have more authority."
"Heh!! Even His Majesty didn't dare to do this kind of action carelessly. Have you thought about me retaliating? Have you not thought about me going berserk and destroying the whole capital city because of your careless decision?!" roared Angus.
"You should be ashamed to become the head judge!!" Added Angus before disappearing from the spot by using [Flame Blink].
Hearing Angus' sentences, all the high nobles and the high-grade knights could help but have deep thoughts on their own. The high nobles and family heads are having a retrospect about their current way of doing. For the two princes, they couldn't help but admire Angus.
Now, they know why their Father has a high opinion of Angus. At first, they thought Angus would go rampant and even destroy their current government system when he turned the room into an oven. However, they didn't expect Angus to do the opposite.
His speech reminded everyone of the true reason behind their law and government system. In some way, Crown Prince Eric and Prince Dietrich are ashamed of themself. While they think about how to win the throne and plot against each other, Angus thinks more about the kingdom's future.
As the princes and royalties, they weren't afraid of getting their hands dirty to get what they wanted. However, Angus' speech makes them realize the consequences of their actions. The cycle of hatred. They know better than anyone the result of this vicious cycle.
ραпdǎ Йᴏνêl(сòm) In fact, all the major events in the Heart's kingdom history result from this vicious cycle. It is just that they never thought much about it until now.
Unbeknown to everyone, a figure looking at the destroyed courtroom in the air while accompanied by a twin creepy star spirit on his shoulder. King Leon nodded as if satisfied with Angus' action before disappearing from his spot.
'Leon's vision is not wrong. This brat has the quality of a king. Despite being so young, his way of thinking is very sophisticated. Hell, even those head families didn't have this kind of wisdom. It's a pity Angus is not a prince and interested in taking the throne.' thought the Duchess.
"*Sigh* What a mess… But I still do not expect such a speech. It seems you are right. I underestimate Angus' capability." commented Hersha from the side.
Before Extalia could reply, "Also, did you see how he went away? It's so cool. Urghh.. I really want to hug my baby boy!!" added Hersha, turning into fangirl mode.
Extalia decides to ignore her rival's antics and begins to take care of the mess Angus created. Still, she begins to harbor a grudge against the young man. Lately, she slowly became his nanny, taking care of his mess.
Although she knows the importance of Angus for the Heart Kingdom, it is still unacceptable for her to become his nanny. She will definitely file a large amount of complaints to his beloved king and Duke Victory later.
In the meantime, Angus is once again sitting inside the Extermination Squad captain's office along with Captain Aldo. After disappearing from the destroyed courthouse, Angus didn't immediately return to his home and decided to visit this law force base.
"Ermm… Baron Victory, is there anything I could help with?" asked Captain Aldo anxiously.
"The Head Judge Hugo unusually antagonizes me during the trial. Not only does he create a biased judgment on the spot, but he also seems to have an attitude above the law."
"I want you to investigate everything about him. He may have a connection with the person who forged the warrant order. You may not hear it yet, but I was actually tasked with our security system not too long ago. That also includes our document system."
"This warrant order forgery made me think and intrigued me. I want to know the method the person used to successfully integrate it without being noticed.
"I doubt many people are involved in this case. Otherwise, this squad will be too corrupted already. Send all this information and incident to the Squad Leader Flamewaver. This kind of incident may look small but could affect the whole squad." explained Angus.
"Y-Yes, sir." said Captain Aldo before ordering his staff nearby.
Captain Aldo knows this matter can no longer be hidden and may affect the whole extermination squad. He no longer stalling time and working seriously.
While this happens, Angus begins to contemplate this matter. Previously, he didn't do anything since he thought the perpetrator may be the crown prince or other high nobles. However, he notices that even the Head Judge is corrupted during today's trial.
Angus knows someone who reaches a high position must have some dirt on them. However, he never accepts someone who lets this dirt affect their main job. In fact, as long as the person is doing their job properly, Angus will not care about them even if they have a very sick hobby.
'If even the head judge corrupted, I am afraid some high-ranking member in the Extermination Squad may get involved. There is also a chance Captain Aldo is involved even without his knowledge.' thought Angus inwardly while glancing at Captain Aldo.
