Chapter 1487 – Violence Is Everywhere.
The world was turned upside down.
It was revealed that a drug manufacturing factory was hidden in the middle of the prestigious Marguerite Academy.
As if that were not enough, contrary to the noble image the school had put forward, school violence occurred frequently, and some students were even said to have been pushed off the roof.
The student was taken to a nearby hospital, and there was even news that a criminal organization had raided the place guarded by Holy Knights from each holy country.
There was no makjang like this.
“It’s actually worse.”
The voice of Hors, the next saint of the Church of Judgment, rang out in the warm, sunlight-filled hospital room.
The person she was speaking to was Rius.
Thanks to her divine power, her wounds healed a long time ago, but because her energy was pushed beyond her limits, her body became weak, and she was hospitalized for a few days according to the doctor’s opinion.
“It’s worse?”
Rius asked, unable to calm down due to the beauty’s scent.
“These are not paladins who will be defeated by a raid alone. Many of the doctors and nurses working at the hospital were bribed by students belonging to Grant, or were their subordinates from the beginning.”
The unidentified assassins who attacked Rius last night are those who work for the family of Grants or worked in the past.
“It must have been a kind of special unit that led a normal life during the day, but took care of dirty work at night. Since it was a secret group that handled secret and dirty work, it would not listen to orders from anyone other than the head of the family. It seems they were in a hurry.”
What Hors meant was that the assassins yesterday were not sent by Grant, but by their parents.
Indeed. It was worse.
Rather than lamenting over their children’s mistakes, they were busy hiding them.
‘It’s not just about anything else, it’s about drugs, which the world’s most powerful empires are working hard to eradicate, but is there any need to rush…’
The members of the so-called cleaning unit that took care of the dirty work were strong in their own way.
However, the reason the Paladins, who were much more powerful than him, were helpless was not because of their skills, but because of the people working at the hospital.
He mixed poison into rice, but since it was served the same way as usual, he ate it without any suspicion and became poisoned.
There are quite a few miracles that neutralize poison among sacred miracles, but it seems that the Holy Knights swooped in at the moment of poisoning, leaving no time to treat the poisoning.
Fortunately, they didn’t die.
If you kill the Paladins, the high-quality personnel of the Church of Judgment, the problem will become too much.
Maybe they thought that hiding the drugs would make it difficult to deal with what happened later, so they just suppressed them.
Rather. Those who poisoned them all died.
I was silenced.
“The world is in turmoil, even though the most shocking facts have yet to be revealed.”
The most shocking fact.
It is said that the people who created the drug manufacturing factory were not some unknown secret criminal organization, but students.
The instigator is Hayen, the son of Havel Or, a famous human rights activist.
“Hayen…?”
“He is not opening his mouth yet.”
He was arrested on the spot and had no excuse.
He seemed to calmly accept the judgment he would receive.
Or, resigned.
Despite that situation, he still hasn’t talked about his motive for making drugs.
“What happens to Hayen now?”
“You won’t be fine.”
He took the lead in drug manufacturing and attempted to kill the warrior of the Church of Judgment.
“In addition, we plan to use up all the sins of noble idiots.”
“Yes?”
What does that mean?
Are you taking the sins of aristocratic idiots as a dump?
Hors haha. He sighed heavily.
“Power is on the side of those who have it.”
If he admits to the charges of manufacturing and selling drugs, it will be a blow that will shake the foundation of his family.
Each family chose to cover up their sins rather than admit them.
“For example, they say they plan to pay compensation to many students who have been assaulted so far. And the heads of each investigative agency will receive gifts.”
Just from what she reported yesterday, the Count, the father of a Grandte student, went to the head of security and asked, “Is this what’s going on between us?” It is said that such a story was said.
Contacted various media outlets and bribed reporters. The grantees were framed as victims who were almost exposed to a crime, and they mobilized people to spread all kinds of rumors, creating confusion about which rumors were true.
The problem is that the operation is working properly.
Those who have been on top for a long time are good at hiding their own shame.
Above all. Hayen’s side is not denying the charges at all.
“Mr. Havel Orr’s influence is strong, but he appears to have no intention of using it to secure his son’s innocence.”
In fact, even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t be able to.
His influence stems from the upright and honest life he has lived so far.
If it is known that you, not only someone else but your own child, committed infidelity and defended it, your position will be jeopardized.
“Such…!!”
Rius gritted his teeth.
I was angry.
Of course it wasn’t because of Hayen. Rius had nothing but ill feelings towards him.
‘Grant is innocent?’
The noble children who crippled Luca and tormented many students physically and mentally will face no judgment?
‘Luca doesn’t get anything in return.’
Hayen, a trusted friend, was actually the most trashy bastard, and Grant got no punishment.
How will he be compensated for his hardships that were so difficult that he attempted suicide?
Hors noticed why Rius was angry and grinned.
“Did you say it was Luca? He was very brave.”
He did not listen to Rius’s instructions to hide in the room until the aide came.
Afraid that Hayen or Rius might do something wrong, I ran out of the room and searched for Hors.
The only clue is that Hors’ subordinate said it was somewhere in this city.
It was truly a coincidence that she and Luca, who were in a hurry after receiving a ‘contact,’ met.
“I didn’t know how long I had run, my whole body was so exhausted that I felt like I was going to run out of breath at any moment.”
“Running? Luca?”
Rius said blankly.
“Yes. He was really desperate. As if God was watching, his ankle recovered.”
“…”
Hayen introduced Luca to her priest, and she was barely able to walk, but she would never have recovered enough to run. How?
Really. Is it a miracle from God?
[The God of Judgment did it.]
The voice of the sword god rang in my head.
[The person who treated that person was a believer in the God of Judgment. The moment I touched the divine power, a connection was created with the God of Judgment, and the God of Judgment healed me.]
“… Wow.”
It was truly a miracle from God.
However, finding Hors was a miracle that Luca brought about on his own.
He ran for his life even though he knew full well that he could be attacked.
Rius felt both gratitude and bitterness toward Luca.
Hayen, whom Luca risked his life to protect, was actually…
“Was there anyone chasing Luca?”
Grant must have been intent on eliminating Rius and all his associates.
Hayen, who was left alone, would have been very easy prey. How did she get away?
“Yes. There wasn’t one.”
Hors declared.
Even if Luca was alive, he probably thought it was meaningless and there were no pursuers.
At those words, Rius thought about something for a moment and then stood up.
“I can’t just lie there like this. Grant must be judged. I will do whatever it takes, whether it be testimony or an investigation.”
“No. You need to rest.”
A firm voice and sternness in the eyes.
But Rius also showed a determined look.
“A request as a warrior. No, it’s an order.”
Hors, who was staring into Rius’ strong eyes, closed his eyes and shrugged his shoulders as if surrendering.
“If it’s an order, I can’t help it.”
“Then right now, I’m sorry… Let’s meet the Grants.”
“You mean those damn bastards?”
Rius was a little surprised by Hors’ playful swearing.
“Even so, the descendants of families belonging to Grant. Marl, Sharuria, Mlié, and dozens of other families have requested to meet the hero.”
The reason is obvious.
“It looks like you really want to cover my mouth.”
“Yes. It is said that they are even trying to silence the warrior within the Church of Judgment by including the conservatives of our Church of Judgment.”
Make them silent? It gave me chills for a moment, but Hors said, “I don’t mean to kill you.” And laughed.
“You have the strongest evidence.”
“Proof?”
“Do you remember the magic tool you put in the subspace yesterday?”
“Ah.”
The magic door that blocked the secret room. When he cut it down, the magic tool that held the door fell, and Rius thought it might become evidence and threw it into subspace.
Hors received the magic tool yesterday.
“As a result of analyzing the magic tool, a record of entry and exit was found.”
This is a record of the entry and exit of Grant members and Hayen into the drug field.
“This is a blind spot in security magic tools that require recognition of a specific human’s face, eyes, etc.”
There is a type of security magic tool that leaves no records, but for that, a magic circuit must be engraved separately.
It already has a powerful defensive magic function, but it seems that the capacity was exceeded by adding a recognition function to allow only certain people to enter.
If Rius, who had the evidence, and Rius, who saw vivid school violence, steps forward as a witness…
“Maybe we can avoid the worst.”
What is the worst situation now? Grant gets away without any punishment.
I thought it was ridiculous, but they are trying to cover up even serious sins through power and alliances.
Rius swallowed nervously and nodded resolutely.
“You said the Grant family wanted to meet me, right? Let’s go meet them.”
I’ll have to meet up and see what they have to say.
“I will never let you get away like this without paying anything. We will prevent the worst case scenario.”
“Yes… Then I will contact Grant.”
Hors nodded vaguely and said, “Shall we go?”
Rius got up from the bed and walked out the door of the hospital room.
Hors followed behind him, muttering in a low voice that only he could hear.
“Please. I hope we avoid the worst case scenario than ‘that kind of thing.'”
“Fuck you. Do you know who I am?”
“How long do I have to stay here~~?”
Haha. These guys don’t communicate well, right? You guys want to take your clothes off?”
“Please call the person in charge.”
When I think about it, I want to break his head with a hammer filled with divine power.
It was the thought of a Holy Knight from the Church of Judgment who first met Grant, who was gathered in one room at the request of the warrior.
My blood boils when I think of how my colleagues were almost poisoned by the orders of these bastards, but they are making threats without even a trace of reflection.
Among them, a vertically-rolled orange-haired girl and a large boy, Max, were smiling wryly as they said they had memorized your titles and names.
A male student called Ade even punched the air.
‘What kind of nobility are these people?’
I was shocked when I investigated what these students, called Grand, had been doing at school so far.
Beyond simple assault, there are sexual harassment, mass lynching, special assault, vandalism, theft, attempted murder, and other illegal acts.
Many such people asked to be allowed to meet Rius.
Grant is now a boy named Rias who is actually Rius.
I know he is a warrior.
What are these shameless criminals trying to say when they meet the warrior?
“Oh fuck! How long are you telling me to wait!”
An intelligent-looking boy wearing glasses. Adega boom! I hit the table.
The guards behind them also had their eyes shining menacingly.
Although the paladins were not ready, they responded calmly.
“The hero will be here soon. So…”
“You. This is already the fifth time I’ve said that. Do you know that I hate the number six?”
The vertical roll girl smiled.
It was cute and pretty, but to the Holy Knight it only seemed like a devil’s smile.
“Stop making excuses. I don’t know what I’m going to do anymore.”
“…”
That moment.
It’s good.
The door opened. It seemed that Hero Rius had arrived.
The paladins looked back with a mixture of relief and anxiety.
I was worried about what the warrior would say to these trash.
The members of Grant had no doubt that Rius would accept their offer, recalling the ‘buyback’ and ‘threat materials’ they had prepared.
For example. About Luca’s sick mother at his home.
The lord of the village where Rius’s father’s family is located is from his own faction.
I found out where Rius’s father and mother and all his other acquaintances worked and where they lived.
Even if you don’t kill them, there are countless ways to harass them.
Rius will face the malevolence of humans and tremble in shame.
The Grants smiled bitterly.
But. The person who came through the door. It wasn’t Rius.
“Six.”
The man smiled brightly while saying that.
Look at that smile. Grant felt an unfamiliar emotion.
That is anxiety and fear.
I felt emotions I had never felt before in my life from the man in front of me.
“Huh?!”
“Ugh…!!”
Behind the nobles. There was despair in the eyes of the knights.
The paladins stood up in shock and turned away. I saluted.
He waved his hand and said that he had become the man who came in.
“Hello~ I’m a female.”
