Chapter 2448: Tear Away the Fig Leaf

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The live video of “Judging Horace” was climbing up the WeTwit’s live-stream interface rapidly. It gained a lot of attention within a short time.

After the sexual assualt incident was exposed, and with Hades’ astonishing performance on the Top Chef Competition, this incident gained even more attention.

A famous director who was very respected in the industry, an evergreen actor in the movie industry, and the favorite of all in the movie industry, were actually so depraved that they preyed on hundreds of innocent maidens and directly caused more than 10 maidens to commit suicide in depression.

Such a contrast was shocking and infuriating.

The Justice Investigation Bureau quickly intervened and Charlie and Bart were soon arrested. However, Horace disappeared after he escaped from the film and video base. Nobody knew where he was. The netizens started a movement called “Find Horace”, and millions had responded to it.

Nobody expected that a live video called “Judging Horace” appeared on WeTwit before the Justice Investigation Bureau and the netizens found him.

Moreover, the opening scene of the live-stream was brutal. The suicide assassin wanted to silence Horace and his arm was chopped off by a sword that came from the sky. He self-detonated when he had no way to escape.

Such a realistic scene brought a great shock to the audience.

The speech that Horace made in his panic had also proven the legendary suicide assassins that belonged to the plutocrats.

Of course, what made the audience even more shocked was that the person who came wasn’t from the Justice Investigation Bureau. He was a mysterious man in black.

More importantly, he wasn’t here to arrest Horace, but to judge him!

There was no court and no victims present. There was only the suspect and the man in black who called himself “The Adjudicator”.

Professional lawyers had analyzed the situation before. In Tucker City’s high court whereby the sentencing was getting increasingly careful, the chances of Horace receiving a death sentence was extremely low. He could even be jailed for less than 50 years.

Given Horace’s current age, he had a chance of getting out of the prison alive.

The result had also caused a great hoo-ha on the Internet. A bastard who caused misery to hundreds of victims, might only receive such a light sentence.

But now that this Adjudicator had found Horace before the Justice Investigation Bureau did and decided to pass the judgment on the live-stream.

Everyone was waiting to see what kind of judgment he would give to Horace.

In the WeTwit’s headquarter building, Lucien, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up in a hurry by Amos, the Director of Operations.

“What’s it?” Lucien, whose nap was interrupted, was rather unhappy.

“Horace was caught,” Amos said nervously.

“A director without the help of the Dixon Family. Do you think he’s capable of escaping from the Justice Investigation Bureau?” Lucien looked increasingly annoyed. He actually disturbed him because of such a small matter.

“No… He wasn’t caught by the Justice Investigation Bureau. He was caught by a mysterious man who called himself “The Adjudicator” and he has set up a live video on WeTwit. He is live-streaming the judging of Horace.” Amos clicked open his bangle and set it to the double-screen. One of them was the live video by “The Adjudicator”, while the other was the replay of it. It started from the part where the suicide assassin tried to kill Horace.

“A vigilante?” Lucien’s eyes widened as he looked at the virtual screen. He no longer felt sleepy.

There were a lot of factors in this video and they were very sensitive.

The Dixon Family wanted to silence Horace and had sent their most loyal assassin. Judging from their preparation, it was very well done.

Furthermore, this scene happened to be encountered by “The Adjudicator” and he live-streamed it.

The ancient plutocrats had existed for tens of thousands of years and they were the rulers of Underground City. Later on, they moved behind the scenes as the political system changed, but they still ruled and influenced Underground City in other ways.

Of course, this kind of control was secretive and not known by the public.

And, the assassins and private soldiers that the plutocrats kept, had always just been rumors online. There had never been any factual evidence of them.

Then, today’s video clip pointed out the Dixon Family directly.

Keeping assassins, silencing witnesses. Was that the real plutocrats?

Scary, scary…

Frankly speaking, Lucien was a little afraid too.

He knew about the power of the various plutocrats, but he didn’t expect them to silence Horace so decisively.

In his position, he might offend any one of them one day. Would he encounter something like that one day?

“Shall we shut down this live video first?” Amos asked, “Using the excuse of obstructing the laws and preventing imitation.”

“Shutting down the live video will please the Dixon Family, but we will offend the other families. Furthermore, I have to check the military’s intentions.” Lucien shook his head. He clicked on his bangle and dialed a number as he said, “You should go back first and wait for my news.”

“Sure.” Amos quickly strode away.

Very soon, Lucien got a reply from the military: The people need an outlet to vent their frustration.

After a moment of hesitation, Lucien sent a message to Amos. He wanted him to observe first and not interfere with the live video for the moment.

“Basta*d! Look at what you have done!”

A loud slap echoed throughout the villa. Fergus lowered his head with a swollen cheek and a panicked expression.

He sent the assassin and to play safe, he deliberately sent an 8th-tier assassin to kill Horace, who was only 5th-tier.

However, he didn’t expect someone to interfere and kill the assassin that was painstakingly groomed by the Dixon Family. Horace was caught and what was even more terrifying was, that person actually live-streamed the whole process.

It wasn’t a secret among the plutocrats to keep assassins.

The big families had interests in all kinds of industries in the Underground City. There were affairs that they couldn’t settle above board. The assassins were the best candidates to handle such affairs

However, to the ordinary folks, this was an absolute secret that couldn’t be discussed at the table.

But this so-called “The Adjudicator” had torn away the fig leaf and Horace’s speech had exposed the Dixon Family completely.

“Don’t interfere with this matter anymore. I will settle it. From today on, you are grounded for three months,” Merlin said coldly.

“Chief, many affairs in the company need me…”

“All posts in the company are suspended. We’ll see again when you can do your job properly.” Merlin interrupted Fergus and looked at him coldly.

Fergus felt a chill up his back and lowered his head in a panic. He answered and quickly walked away.

“Darn it! I will find that fellow and cut him into pieces!” After he came out of the villa, Fergus’ gaze was filled with ruthlessness. He punched the air angrily and the space twisted.

“Locate his location right now and send our nearest forces over, but tell them not to act rashly. The other party is a warrior who is at least a 10th-tier. Lockdown the scene and wait for reinforcements!”

In Tucker City, the bureau chief of the Justice Investigation Bureau moved his gaze away from the giant screen and ordered.
