Chapter 1199: Chapter 14: Chief Justice

[You have killed Holy Warrior·Victory Poison·Joseph Cole.]

[Joseph Cole was the former Deputy Legion Commander of the ’Angouli War Zone,’ obtaining 1.6% of World Source, now totaling 1.6% of World Source.]

[Tip: World Source is extremely difficult to obtain in the Original World.]

[Your Talent ’Soul Devourer’ is activated, permanently increasing Mana Value by 30, current maximum Mana Value is 4106 points.]

[You have obtained Treasure Chest (Legendary).]

[Tip: The quality of the Treasure Chest dropped in the Original World will receive a bonus.]

...

Seeing that mere 1.6% of World Source, Su Xiao wasn’t surprised; he learned from the world introduction before that obtaining World Source in the Original World is extremely difficult.

Based on Su Xiao’s guess, although acquiring World Source in this world is very challenging, the reward for settling World Source should not be low.

As for the Treasure Chest, an opponent like Joseph Cole dropping a Legendary Level Chest surprised Su Xiao a bit. Although Joseph Cole’s strength was indeed formidable, he had obvious weaknesses in Close Combat. Defeated immediately once Su Xiao approached.

According to Su Xiao’s estimation, Joseph Cole might likely drop a top-level Gold quality Chest, but now a Legendary Level Chest was dropped, which should be the bonus from the Original World.

The value of a Legendary Level Treasure Chest is undeniable, just the Legendary Honor within holds high value, and once a Legendary Item is obtained, it’s a significant gain.

Su Xiao didn’t have high expectations for this Treasure Chest; after all, it was enhanced to Legendary Level by the Original World, far inferior compared to the Legendary Level dropped by Senju Hashirama. But it’s still Legendary Level, and the yield should be satisfactory.

Su Xiao flexed the slightly numb right leg; the force of that kick was terrifyingly powerful, seemingly simple but actually encompassed numerous elements.

Firstly, Su Xiao’s mastery of the side kick technique, then the bonuses from [Kinetic Battle Boots (Gold)], [Wood Spirit (Legendary)], and [Close Combat Specialization: Level 40].

The ordinary-looking kick actually harbored lethal intent.

Su Xiao’s attack style was just like that; not flashy, yet hiding several deadly moves under inconspicuous attacks.

With a thud, Joseph Cole’s head fell to the ground.

”Moral debts are the hardest to repay.”

Su Xiao murmured softly; someone of Joseph Cole’s level certainly wasn’t just a mercenary. He uttered his last words before his head was severed by the Boundary Line.

”Elvi, I’ve done my best.”

The ’Elvi’ Joseph Cole referred to was undoubtedly Chief Justice Elvi Antoine.

Bubu Wang had already slipped away in the chaos to find Elvi Antoine; it wasn’t dim-witted during combat but rather clever.

Upon seeing the portrait, Bubu Wang knew it couldn’t solely rely on it to find Chief Justice Elvi, so right at the start of the battle, it infiltrated the castle, searching for a study inside.

Only the castle’s owner or direct relatives can have a study within; as the castle’s owner is the Chief Justice, his study must contain law-related books, even if not read regularly, they display face value to guests, giving an impression of dutifulness.

Study, law books, middle-aged male; based on these three pieces, Bubu Wang found a study within one minute of infiltrating the castle.

Why seek the study? That’s related to another matter.

In the current situation, Chief Justice Elvi would never read in the study, and Bubu Wang knew this, finding the study only to locate a place with fewer scents to determine which scent belonged to Chief Justice Elvi.

Bubu Wang took 2 minutes and 6 seconds to find Elvi’s scent; the subsequent action was simple, tracking the scent and aura, a specialty of Bubu Wang.

Indeed, Bubu Wang didn’t act dim-witted during combat, instead showing high intelligence; as for why it seemed foolish normally, pretending? Acting? Not at all.

When Bubu Wang relaxes, various ’tricky operations’ appear in its mind; sometimes it acts on these ideas, but they’re incredibly foolish, foolish enough to defy limits.

It took Bubu Wang five minutes total to find Chief Justice Elvi, who had fled the courtyard. After dealing with a few mercenaries, it ’bound’ Elvi back to the castle.

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

Bubu Wang sits on the desk in front of Elvi, yawning.

”According to the Kingdom’s constitution, adulterers are subjected to extreme punishment...”

Chief Justice Elvi is a slightly obese old man with a twisted expression; frankly, he expected the Old King would likely dispose of him but always held onto a sliver of hope; besides, he couldn’t relinquish the power in hand, one deciding life and death by merely moving his lips.

Chief Justice Elvi meticulously arranged his plans; he hired mercenaries, utilized moral debts from a decade ago to bring a powerful Holy Warrior to his mansion for protection, secretly dug an underground tunnel, and used various channels to send his children out of the Royal Capital.

The study door swung open, and Su Xiao stepped inside. Upon seeing him, Chief Justice Elvi set down the book.

”Iron Hand, you are far stronger than I imagined.”

Chief Justice Elvi’s hands trembled slightly, but unlike the previous three officials, he tried hard to maintain composure upon meeting Su Xiao.

Bubu Wang leaped down from the desk; it was preventing Chief Justice Elvi from pulling any tricks by reading law books.

”May I... have a last cup of tea?”

Elvi pointed to a cup of already cold red tea on the desk; Su Xiao remained silent, Elvi forced a smile and picked up the cup.

”Tell His Majesty the King that I... harbor no resentment toward him, even if he kills me.”

Elvi took a sip of the red tea, noticeably calming down.

”Who will be the new Chief Justice?”

Elvi seemed to have guessed what would happen next.

”He will arrive soon.”

Su Xiao didn’t immediately eliminate Elvi, as there were some subsequent issues to handle; besides, there were still more than two hours left on the deadline for the side quest.

Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair in the study, opened the wire wheel of the Boundary Line, cleaning the blood stains within and on the Boundary Line.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

”Come in.”

Su Xiao said, and the door was pushed open, entering the study was a thin middle-aged man with a head of brown hair; though slim, he carried a steady aura.

The person was named Steve, from a remote city on the Kingdom’s frontier.

”Ah, it’s Steve; His Majesty has prepared quite thoroughly.”

Chief Justice Elvi laughed bitterly. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

”You two have one hour.”

Su Xiao continued cleaning the Boundary Line, not looking up at them.

”Mr. Iron Hand, with only an hour...”

The thin middle-aged man Steve began, and Su Xiao glanced at him.

”An hour... seems sufficient.” Steve chuckled awkwardly, then walked to the desk: ”Former Chief Justice Mr. Elvi, let’s begin.”
