Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Horace incident had caused tremendous pressure on the Justice Investigation Bureau's chief, Pashat. The military's comment made them have to interfere in this incident that had a huge effect on the Internet as quickly as possible, while the pressure from the Dixon Family had also given him a huge headache.

However, something that gave him an even bigger headache had happened. Just as the bureau was still tracking Horace, someone had found him before them and was going to judge him. Moreover, he was live-streaming it.

Rumors about the Justice Investigation Bureau's incompetencies were flying everywhere. This was a slap to their face.

"Damned it. Which moron in the Dixon Family handled this matter?!" Pashat dissed inwardly. At first, he didn't set this matter to be the most urgent, as he wanted to give the Dixon Family some time to clean up their mess.

Regardless if it was to let Horace disappear for some time, or let him disappear completely, it would look better for all of them.

!!

But now that the fig leaf was torn away completely. The Dixon Family had not only failed to silence him, they were even exposed on the live-stream, and the person that the Justice Investigation Bureau failed to find, was found by a mysterious man.

The Dixon Family should be busy shirking their responsibility right now, while he was having a headache about how to remove his incompetency charges, otherwise he could kiss his promotion in the next month goodbye.

Very soon, the technical staff locked in on Horace's current location. It was 3,000 kilometers away from Tucker City. The personnel from the headquarters would only need 20 minutes to reach there.

Meanwhile, the branch that was nearest to that location, could arrive in 10 minutes.

However, the combat power of that mountain branch was limited. The strongest powerhouse was only a 7th-tier, who was helpless even if he went.

The powerhouses from the headquarters were all activated. Two battleships followed them as well.

"He's actually been exposed on the spot. Fergus that little b*tch is going to get it, and it saved me the money to get an assassin." In the penthouse of the Twin Towers, Akali was watching the live-studio with excitement on her face.

"However, who is this handsome man? Even though he is wearing a mask, judging from his figure and low and sexy voice, he should be a cool and aloof handsome man, right? But, I don't think that such a powerful and righteous handsome man exists among the younger generations…" Akali gulped as she stared at the man with the mask. She wasn't angry that he had humiliated the Dixon Family.

"No, no. I have just fallen for Brother Hades. I cannot shift my attention so quickly. It's immoral.

"However, Horace was exposed by Brother Hades and this brother with the mask is judging him now. They are both so righteous!

"Mmm. It's indeed the right choice for me. I will like them both!"

In a few short minutes, the number of people that entered "The Adjudicator"'s live-studio had already exceeded tens of millions, and was still increasing at a terrifying speed.

Meanwhile, in the valley, Mag pointed his longsword at Horace, who was slumped on the ground.

Mag had watched many movies when he was learning the Underground City's language, including a few movies that were directed by Horace.

He had to admit that Horace was indeed exceptional when it came to making movies. This was the reason that he won many awards at many movie festivals and was liked by the Dixon Family.

However, being talented wasn't an excuse for committing crimes. Those victims had never thought that a respected senior in the industry would do such a heinous thing to them.

"Y-you cannot judge me! Only the court can judge my crimes…" Horace went white. He was reminded of an old movie—"The Adjudicator".

The movie was about the age of a few thousand years ago when the laws were incomplete. The rich and powerful people ruled and the ordinary people were suffering. A mysterious man wearing a mask who called himself "The Adjudicator", punished the rich and powerful who had escaped the punishments of the law.

This movie caused huge repercussions and many imitation crimes back then. Hence, this movie was also banned.

This man in front of him called himself "The Adjudicator" and wanted to judge him here.

"You're really stubborn and incorrigible." A smirk appeared on Mag's face under the mask. He looked down at Horace and coldly said, "For 300 over years, you hid under the Dixon Family's protection and harmed the innocent maidens. You cut off all the channels that they used to voice out their grievances. Your crimes are too horrible even to be described. You are hereby sentenced to death with 362 cuts by the sword. It will be carried out right now."

As soon as he was done saying that, a rusty blunt sword appeared in his hand. He put away that razor-sharp black sword.

"W-what do you want to do?! Y-you are committing a crime here!" Horace's voice was shaking as he stumbled backwards. He hit a giant rock and couldn't go backwards anymore.

"The 1st strike is for that maiden whose internet ID is 'The Lost Fawn'." Mag raised his sword and cut off Horace's 'root of all evil'.

"The 2nd strike is for the maiden in red who jumped into the lake." That sword stabbed into Horace's thigh slowly.

"The 3rd strike is for…"

Horace's screams didn't affect Mag waving his sword steadily.

The blunt sword cut open the flesh and the uneven blade cuts sliced through the muscles, making the sense of pain even greater.

Mag didn't enjoy this process, but he felt his every strike was extremely grave.

"Great! This is eradicating the frustration I have felt the whole day!"

"362 strikes. Is he stabbing a strike for every victim? He's so thoughtful."

"This is indeed what torture equipment should be like. Using a sharp sword will be too easy for that old fart."

"The Adjudicator is back. Bad eggs, tremble!"

The bullet chat refreshed crazily and the netizens' emotions went wild.

In Tucker City's slums, in a small and dark room, a thin middle-aged woman looked at the blurry image on her bangle and cried. There was a little dark yellow bear made of cloth in her arms. She caressed the bear and softly said, "Cassa, someone has avenged you. That bad guy is being judged finally…"

In the video and film base, at a production group that was filming, the female costar who was getting ready for her scene, suddenly broke down. After saying her apology, she covered her face and ran to the bathroom. She locked the door and crouched at a corner. She looked at Horace who was being stabbed repeatedly and smiled, but her tears marred her makeup.

At a rubbish dump at the corner of the street, a woman who was in a daze, saw the live-stream that was playing in the bakery across the street. A hint of clarity suddenly appeared in her eyes. She stumbled over to the floor-to-ceiling windows at the bakery and then smiled. Her eyes got increasingly clearer.
