3rd Octopus House...
The Judgnt Hall of the Octopus Organization is ready with all arrangents. All the servants stood in perfect position as today marks an important event.
The entire house structure is based on one central judgent hall.
The gigantic circular chamber was carved entirely from black stone. Ancient octopus symbols glowed faintly along the walls while hundreds of floating screens displayed martial laws from different nations.
At the very top, on an elevated crescent-shaped platform, sat the Nine Octopus House Masters.
Each throne carried a different insignia with colour.
Beneath them... Thirty-three Supre Warriors sat in a semi-circle like silent gods judging the world itself. Every single one of them represented the pinnacle of Earth’s martial power. Any one of these people could shake nations with a single order.
At the center of the hall stood one lone figure... Supre Kent Clark.
He stood proudly with both hands behind his back like a king lion surrounded by wolves.
No nervousness... No fear... Only calm arrogance.
Several Supre Warriors quietly observed him with complicated expressions.
So admired him... So hated him... So simply waited for entertainnt.
At the center of the hall floated a gigantic golden sand tir.
The final grains were falling rapidly... The trial was about to begin.
One Clark family supre frowned slightly. "Where is Tony Clark?"
But only a scoff ca in reply. "Hmph. A foolish junior making Supre Warriors wait... He probably got scared and ran away."
"The Clark family spoiled that brat too much."
Several murmurs quietly spread through the hall.
Even so of the Supre Warriors showed slight displeasure.
Creakkkkk...!
The giant black doors slowly opened... A whistling sound echoed casually through the Judgnt Hall.
Everyone imdiately turned toward the entrance.
Tony Clark walked inside lazily with both hands inside his pockets while casually whistling like he had entered a shopping mall instead of the world’s highest martial court.
The final grain of sand dropped the mont he entered.
’Perfect timing...!’
Many elders imdiately frowned deeply. So Supre Warriors narrowed their eyes coldly.
Even several House Masters looked displeased by Tony’s complete lack of seriousness.
"This brat... No manners at all."
"This is why everyone calls Tony Clark a fool."
Tony ignored every stare completely. Without even greeting the gathering properly, he casually walked forward and stopped beside Supre Kent Clark.
Kent only glanced at him briefly before looking forward again.
Not a single word was exchanged. But that alone already showed their confidence.
Soon, one old servant carrying a long black staff stepped forward.
"The trial concerning Supre Kent Clark crossing international martial borders and killing Overlord Dong Lee shall now comnce." His voice echoed across the entire Judgnt Hall.
"The Third House Master Bellard shall begin the inquiry."
At the top platform, Third House Master Bellard slowly stood up. He wore dark judicial robes while several holographic screens floated around him instantly.
The first images appeared.
Destroyed Lee family buildings... Dead bodies... Dong Lee’s corpse. The humiliated Lee family begging outside the White manor.
Then another image appeared. Tony Clark standing beside Jean White during the incident.
Bellard’s voice beca cold.
"Supre Kent Clark. You crossed national martial borders without prior permission. You interfered directly in another nation’s internal affairs. You killed an Overlord-level warrior personally. How do you defend this?"
Before Kent could even speak— Tony suddenly stepped forward casually.
"What exactly is this show called?" He looked around lazily. "Half Truth Circus? Or maybe... Mini-Clown Gathering?"
Silence... Several elders instantly beca furious.
"Impudent!!!"
"Watch your mouth!"
"How dare a junior insult the Judgnt Hall?!"
Tony shrugged casually. "Then stop presenting edited stories like entertainnt programs."
Bellard’s face darkened slightly. "You are not the one being questioned."
"But sadly, my na is already on your summons list. So yes... I am involved."
Several Supre Warriors exchanged glances quietly. This brat truly had courage Or madness.
Tony continued calmly. "You showed the destruction of the Lee family... Good. You showed Dong Lee’s corpse... Very dramatic. But why didn’t you show the White family massacre first?"
Tony pointed toward the floating images.
"The Lee family annihilated one of our loyal partner families. They slaughtered servants, children, babies, even pets. They wiped out the White family entirely. So where are those pictures?"
Bellard frowned. "The White family issue was classified as a minor regional matter." He imdiately covered it up.
Tony laughed imdiately. "Exactly! So a family getting massacred is a ’minor regional matter’... but when the Clark family retaliates, suddenly the entire world gathers?!"
Clap... Clap... Clap...!
Suddenly, slow applause echoed through the Judgnt Hall.
At the Sixth House throne sat House Master Nagi Luna calmly clapping with a faint smile.
The entire hall beca stunned.
Because Nagi Luna belonged directly to the Moon Goddess family. One of the oldest neutral factions in the world.
Nagi Luna smiled slightly. "Interesting logic... For once, a junior is asking proper questions instead of trembling in fear."
Many people beca visibly shocked after hearing support from the Sixth House Master herself.
Several Supre Warriors quietly narrowed their eyes.
Because logically... Tony’s argunt was correct.
One elder from the British Imperial faction suddenly interrupted coldly.
"The Lee family issue does not justify Supre Kent violating martial border laws."
Tony imdiately turned toward him.
"Then tell sothing. If the White family had ties with YOUR Imperial Family instead of ours... would you still call it a ’minor matter’?"
The elder’s expression stiffened instantly.
Tony didn’t stop there. "No nation protected the White family. No House Master intervened. No Judgnt Hall appeared. So the Clark family protected its own allies. What exactly is the cri here?"
Several people beca silent. Even so Supre Warriors secretly nodded slightly inwardly.
Bellard’s expression turned colder. "You are twisting the issue."
Tony imdiately smirked. "No... You simply dislike the Clark family acting independently."
Murmurs spread across the hall again.
This ti, even so House Masters frowned.
Tony continued relentlessly. "You people speak about martial law... Good. Then answer this first. When the White family was slaughtered... where was martial law?"
Silence... Complete silence. Several Imperial supporters looked ugly imdiately.
Bellard finally spoke coldly.
"Nothing can justify a Supre Warrior crossing national borders without prior permission!"
Tony opened his mouth to refute... but stopped in the next second. Because...
Supre Kent Clark finally moved. He slowly placed one hand over Tony’s shoulder, stopping him calmly.
Then... For the first ti since the trial began...
Kent Clark raised his head and stared directly at all Nine House Masters and the thirty-three Supre Warriors before speaking.
