The position of Grand Wind Discipline Officer for Luo Jin was relieved by City Hall last night, and Li Xin, due to his ties with the gang and being a special recruit into the Canon Law School through Luo Jin, was naturally implicated. Originally intended to be expelled directly, but with Luo Xue’s strong protection, Li Xin temporarily stayed, though he obviously couldn’t remain in the Black Rose.
Li Xin placed the Black Rose mber’s badge on the table, "Has the Canon Law School expelled ?"
"Not for now, this has nothing to do with you!" Luo Xue said firmly. She had also investigated Li Xin’s situation and found no issues, even saying Luo Jin’s problems weren’t real issues, just sacrifices in the Zhao Family and Church’s struggles.
Li Xin knew it was Luo Xue who withstood the pressure, "Is Hao Ye here?"
"Hao Ye is missing," Luo Xue replied, "Is he involved in this?"
Li Xin nodded. In Celestial Capital, Luo Xue was one of the few trustworthy people.
"Understood, I will find a way to find him!" Luo Xue added without asking more questions.
"Thank you."
Luo Xue smiled faintly.
Li Xin left the Black Rose. Although the Canon Law School hadn’t expelled him yet, staying there held little aning. He didn’t have much attachnt to the Canon Law School, his being there was mostly to please Aunt Fei.
When Matthew stopped supporting Luo Jin, Luo Jin was exposed to his enemies.
At the door, he encountered Zhao Qing blocking the way, looking at Li Xin with a half-smile, "Tell how you feel now, I’ll give you a chance to talk to , maybe I can still save you."
"Did you hide Hao Ye?" Li Xin suddenly asked.
Zhao Qing frowned, "Wasn’t that kid caught by you?"
Li Xin looked at Zhao Qing unexpectedly, Hao Ye wasn’t Zhao Qing’s man, and ignoring the barking dog, Li Xin returned to Night Patrol. Finding Hao Ye had now beco crucial.
Why didn’t Luo Jin use Hao Ye’s intelligence?
Did he think it was fake, or did he believe the other party would relocate?
He once asked Luo Jin about verifying authenticity, to which Luo Jin said there was no need for verification.
Thinking back now, when Luo Jin said there was no need for verification, it might not have ant that Hao Ye didn’t dare to deceive him. With Luo Jin being so cunning, how could he easily believe Hao Ye, as if Luo Jin’s downfall this ti was seamless, without a trace of resistance. Li Xin suspected he was approaching the truth.
If Luo Jin took the bait on purpose, why did he do it?
Bang, bang, bang, a crazy thought suddenly sprouted in Li Xin’s mind...
Lately, Celestial Capital has beco bustling with activity, first with Viscount Montreal, and now with the very respected Luo Jin Captain. Although Hex Bird Report has sensationally depicted Luo Jin’s corruption, arrogance, and rumored eighteen illegitimate children.
The public’s reaction was not strong, surprisingly, those seen as foolish and fond of kicking others when they’re down by the nobles stood by Luo Jin this ti, not believing he was the mastermind behind the gang or that he would accept high bribes. Many considered all evidence concocted, almost infuriating Zhao Xun, who, for the first ti sought justice in his life, found himself slandered!
Besides the heated discussion around Luo Jin’s incident, the Four Nations Competition hype reached its climax. People were well aware of the importance of the three Canon Law School delegations. The team captains also appeared on the Hex Bird Report — Simmons’s handsoness, Kazi’s coldness, and Karesi’s goddess aura left deep impressions, but there were concerns about the Celestial Capital Canon Law School.
The Arena of Justice in Celestial Capital was built by Governor Luthor, nad by him too. He believed "justice" was the soul of a nation and a city, rendering them invincible. It could host competitions and celebrations, hosting up to eight thousand people, but over ten thousand were seated at the ti, aisles were packed crowded with people outside. A temporary market was set up around the arena. The Lironese loved such competitions, relaxing restrictions on the Underground City during such monts, allowing its residents to participate.
First Half: Iron Blood Canon Law School vs Tessis Canon Law School
Second Half: Celestial Capital Canon Law School vs Saint’s Grace Canon Law School
The winners of both events would compete for the final championship the next day.
It’s been a long ti since such a major event was held, and Celestial Capital was vibrant, the audience was excited beyond asure.
In the VIP section, Celestial Capital’s bigwigs and nobles gathered — Archbishop Matthew, Count Zhao Xun, Count Granfield, Count Locknan, Mayor Ambolat, these were the five giants of Celestial Capital. Rumor had it Mayor Ambolat was likely to be reappointed, so he seed especially cheerful, joking and laughing during the eting. Besides them, well-known Celestial Capital nobles also had seats, accompanied by their families.
The noble won wouldn’t miss this chance to make a statent, each brought out their most glamorous and dazzling outfits. Precious jewelry shone in the sunlight, bosoms almost bursting, waists tightly cinched, holding fragrant folding fans, wearing exquisite hats, their deanor striking.
Matthew maintained his always-calm deanor, while Zhao Xun eagerly introduced Celestial Capital’s situation to the middle-aged man beside him, as well as future aspirations for its betternt. The middle-aged man seed quite pleased, though he couldn’t be too presumptuous, he was just the eyes of his master, reporting what he saw and heard. The importance of Celestial Capital was evident, and from what he saw now, indeed impressive.
"Archbishop, I heard you had so issues with your subordinates?" Harvey Dick asked with a smile. He was a mber of the Dragon Capital Dick Clan, allies of Zhao Xun in Dragon Capital.
Matthew smiled lightly, "Mr. Harvey is interested in such trivial matters?"
"Ah, I heard this Mr. Luo Jin was also a devout Moon God believer, didn’t expect he’d still fall, touching darkness, infected by darkness, becoming darkness. Such a pity, is it that those who touch Hidden Power all end up like this, or is the Moon God’s power no longer capable of controlling its followers?" Harvey laughed.
"See how happy and cheerful the people are; it’s because there are those who bear the burden for them," the Archbishop said kindly, "Mr. Harvey, doubting a god requires a price."
Harvey’s expression slightly changed, although he’s a Martial God follower and it doesn’t affect him, he didn’t wish to oppose such a force.
Although there were great controversies about Archbishop Matthew in the Royal Capital, it couldn’t be denied he wielded extrely strong influence in Celestial Capital.
The Black teor Empire’s Iron Blood Canon Law School and Taptan Empire’s Tessis Canon Law School players made their appearances. Every na the onsite host announced drew cheers from the crowd, honoring and respecting each contest participant, for they would defend with their lives.
The battle rules were simple, five matches for three wins, being knocked off the stage, surrendering, and losing combat ability would all result in a loss.
Tessis Canon Law School laid out a tactical plan, with Captain Karesi leading as the vanguard, powerfully taking down Iron Blood Canon Law School’s vanguard, Sweet. Compared to victory, all were srized by her bearing, the cheers for the female knight exceeded imagination. Countless ideas and honor were bestowed upon the victor, Karesi.
