Tales

Thales, the current head of the court of justice.

It’s said he possesses the power of lightning, making demons tremble in fear.

Ten years ago, he single-handedly blocked an army of a hundred thousand demons in a canyon, including various high-level demons, buying crucial time for the main battlefield.

He even ended up killing over thirty thousand demons before reinforcements arrived.

The Adventurer’s Association, which believes in adventure, courage, and the god of ascension, exceptionally awarded him the Hero-class medal overnight.

The Hero-class was second only to the Legend-class medal, so one can imagine his strength.

And at this moment, he was pacing back and forth in a cell, looking somewhat agitated.

“That guy, Aus, has come again. What are your thoughts on this, Shadow?”

The Shadow, bound by chains, merely said, “You know my abilities. I did let those two demons escape, but I caught them back within a moment. I was framed.”

“I know, I even suspect that the one who framed you is probably related to that Aus fellow.”

“Hehe, a dog raised by the Senate!” the Shadow sneered.

“The current focus isn’t whether you really let the demons escape, but why you’d trade for that so-called fate at the cost of severely damaging your body? Just for that so-called original solution? What is that thing?” Thales asked seriously, pressing on.

“Don’t you understand me yet? Someone is trading with demons; I want to use the original solution to trace them.”

“Do you believe that yourself?” Thales sighed. “The Senate used you letting the demons escape as a loophole, stirring up a very bad wave of public opinion, Great Guardian, sigh…”

“Hehe, the Great Guardian has been conscientious for so many years, but is it because of a small bit of public opinion, hehe…” the Shadow sneered, seeming to imply that Holderma wasn’t worthy of the Great Guardian.

“I think I didn’t seem to say that this was directed at the Great Guardian’s public opinion, you’re a bit too anxious. I told you a long time ago, you’re not good with words. Although I’m not much better, I’m a bit better than you.”

The Shadow’s expression stiffened, then quickly returned to normal, “The Senate can only target the Great Guardian. You wouldn’t say, they’d make such a big move just to target me? Hehe…”

“You guessed right, they’re targeting you.”

“?”

“Because of your uncooperativeness, they intend to bring your trial forward.”

“Hehe.”

“This is a conspiracy. They never aimed at the Great Guardian from the beginning because, with his reputation, that’s unrealistic. So they aimed at you. You’ve become the one who traded with demons.”

“Hehe, is there any evidence? I didn’t let them escape; it’s a frame-up.”

“That’s not important. What’s important is that you did participate in the trading process.”

The Shadow couldn’t help but feel a bit impatient.

Based on his understanding of the Great Guardian, there was no way he would let the blame be pinned on himself.

The Senate thought the same way. If the Great Guardian came to save the Shadow, he would also fall into this quagmire.

Not saving him? Fine, you’ll lose a right-hand man.

“I said, I said, the one who instructed me to trade with the demons is a member of the Senate!” the Shadow said anxiously.

But Thales just said indifferently, “I know who you’re talking about; he’s turned himself in.”

The Shadow’s head shot up.

“Hey, don’t worry. The Senate has considered every detail meticulously. You can’t do anything, and you can’t shake anything.”

After saying that, Thales left.

The Shadow fell into contemplation.

Whether it was the Great Guardian or the Senate, Thales didn’t support either.

Normally, he would support the Great Guardian, but the current signs indicated that the Great Guardian was indeed using a member of the Senate who was on good terms with him to trade with demons.

So he just watched.

At this moment, he was just here to reminisce with an old friend and, incidentally, tease him a bit.

As soon as he came out, Thales bumped into a familiar face.

“Sis… Chief!” Hans was sweating profusely and almost mispronounced it.

“Chief!” Marton and Jim also saluted.

“Hmm.” Thales nodded, “Did you guys get into trouble?”

“No, no, no, I was deceived by a succubus, and now I’m providing some records,” Marton said, his mood a bit downcast.

Hans stepped forward and actively explained.

Originally, it was fine that Alice had been caught, but now she and another demon had run away, and Marton, as someone who had been in close contact with them, was naturally called over to provide some details.

“Hmm, keep it up.” Thales nodded, patted Hans on the shoulder, and left.

The three of them collectively sighed in relief.

Jim wondered, “I seemed to hear the pronunciation of ‘sis’ just now? Could it be that Chief Thales is a woman in disguise? Is that your sister?”

“Uh.” Marton was embarrassed; he couldn’t imagine that Thales, this charming middle-aged uncle, was a woman in disguise.

“It’s brother-in-law, brother-in-law. I’m speechless with you guys, are you doing this on purpose?” Hans sighed.

“I’m screwed, Hans, are you so awesome?” Jim exclaimed.

“Shh shh! Quiet! My brother-in-law doesn’t like others spreading that he’s my brother-in-law. He hates connections; otherwise, I wouldn’t still be a patrol officer.”

Even though he said that, Hans still felt a sense of vanity satisfied.

Just as he was about to accept his brothers’ flattery.

“Her! It’s over! She’s chasing us back!” Marton trembled.

Her? Who was it?

Jim and Hans followed Marton’s gaze and saw Mavis!

Mavis was standing in place, waiting for Linlin, and happened to notice someone looking at her.

She looked over and didn’t recognize them.

She wanted to ignore them, but she remembered Linlin’s words: When looking at others, be polite and smile.

So, Mavis smiled.

The three of them had a myocardial infarction for a moment, and Marton reacted first, “It’s over, she’s really watching us! Run! Run first!”

With that, like a stress response, he ran wildly.

“Hey hey!” Hans and Jim also felt their hearts palpitate, but it wasn’t as serious as Marton’s; at this moment, they hurriedly consoled Marton.

Mavis frowned; she had smiled politely, so why didn’t the other side smile back politely?

“Uncultured!”

Mavis nodded, disdainfully.

“Mavis, I’m back, what’s wrong?” Linlin, who had just returned, asked curiously.

“Just met three uncultured people.”

“Oh oh, I see…”

Xiao Lin had already found out that the Shadow had been caught, and was overjoyed.

But she didn’t have a chance to enter the cell and finish the job.

Mavis could, as there was nowhere she couldn’t go, but that would put Mavis in danger, and Linlin wouldn’t agree.

To be honest, with Xiao Lin’s strength, she couldn’t really do anything earth-shattering.

Teacher Bertha was a good assistant, but only for information.

So Xiao Lin stole the blood-red bead, hehe.

Linlin: ?

Xiao Lin: Don’t worry, with Teacher Bertha helping, it can’t be locked onto Mavis.

Linlin: Alright.

It was said to be causing trouble, but it was far from Xiao Lin’s expectations.

According to what she thought, they should have blown up the court of justice!

But first, she didn’t have the strength, and Linlin couldn’t possibly agree to such a thing that would harm the innocent.

She could only retreat and resort to a prank-like intimidation.

By the way, frame the Solitary Sorrowful One.

The method was simple, discussed with Teacher Bertha.

Linlin had already been stained with the color of gluttony, but Xiao Lin was a pure succubus.

Causing trouble under the name of the Solitary Sorrowful One could make Holderma vigilant.

And the Solitary Sorrowful One’s side would only think it was other demon lords secretly sabotaging her.

After all, she wasn’t the Lust Demon King and couldn’t grasp all the information about the succubi.

At once, it would divert the attention of two threats and could also vent her anger.

Linlin would win twice, or simply, a win-win!

The only problem was that Xiao Lin, the instigator, wouldn’t escape easily.

But the method of escaping the Shadow’s grasp last night was not bad, and Xiao Lin planned to replicate it.
