Chapter 2322 Situation Resolved
The moment Diazo's body fell to the ground, the entire audience of more than 500 people on that battle platform fell silent, watching a match between a level 105 Sovereign and a level 99 Grandmaster end in less than a minute.
Even the mid-level Sovereigns there couldn't help but stare at the outcome of the match and at Minos with open mouths, shocked by the power of this Law Enforcement Hall supervisor.
'No wonder he was chosen to lead such a group...' thought the referee, the Intermediate Officer who had assembled the group of guards to deal with the two corrupt judges.
Meanwhile, Minos' allied judge, sitting next to Ruth, couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh. 'I didn't know he was already so strong.'
Since Minos had returned from The Obsidian Shore, he hadn't fought once. The result? People only supposed how strong he must be based on the rumors about what happened at The Obsidian Shore and his power before the Black Heart mission.
But no one really knew the exact level of Minos' power at the moment.
Even Ruth was surprised at how easily Minos dealt with Diazzos.
'He didn't even use his innate ability in that fight.' The black-haired human thought to herself, aware that Minos had achieved something before they had finished the Black Heart mission.
Minos hadn't given her any details because he wanted to protect her from trouble. But he had said he had gained something that had made him stronger. Yet, Ruth had no idea how much stronger Minos had really become.
But seeing him fight so well in that match made her understand better just how strong her husband had evolved!
Then, after almost 10 seconds of pure silence, the referee deactivated the barrier on this fighting platform and announced Minos' victory.
It was a typical challenge victory. Minos was entitled to almost all of Diazzos' merit points, but he also took Diazzos' personal items.
Since this was also a battle between superior and inferior members, Minos also won Diazzos' position and could appoint someone who met the necessary requirements to fill the position of this now-dead creature.
According to the internal rules of the Hall of Justice, the other judge, who had been removed from his position, would be replaced by Minos' superiors.
Anyway, as soon as the result was announced, Minos left the stage stronger than he entered, proving his power once again.
The audience finally began to comment on the fight, thrilled to have witnessed such an unusual result.
Soon, the rumors would spread, and Minos' fame in the city would grow!
...
After a few days, Minos appointed Maximillian as a substitute judge for Diazzos after exchanging a few favors.
As much as he was able to choose the new judge, he had to ask some of his contacts for assistance in selecting Maximillian because this man had no expertise in the Law Enforcement Hall.
But Minos managed to get him appointed by guaranteeing that if Maximillian wasn't exemplary in his role within six months, he would remove the man from the position and pass on the vacancy of a judge in that post to his superiors.
In return, he would have to undertake a mission outside the sect in a few months.
Minos accepted this condition and soon returned to his routine work, now with less opposition to him and more respect among the guild's internal members.
But a week after Diazzo's challenge, he was called to the central post of the Law Enforcement Hall in the inner part of the guild!
...
"Officer Minos Stuart, what you did recently at your post was risky. As much as you have a basis for your decision to deal with those two men, it was rather convenient for you to act in such a way." Said an alien with the eyes of a fish and the body of a squirrel.
Minos stood in front of this person, a Senior Officer, one of the judges of the Law Enforcement Hall in the inner part of the guild.
The superior of this post was a General, but he was very busy and didn't have time to deal with a problem the size of Minos'.
Minos remained silent in front of this man in the judge's office. At the same time, the subordinates of this level 111 Sovereign also remained silent in the surrounding area, standing guard or taking note of what was being said.
"Do you have anything else to add to your defense?" This level 111 being asked.
"No. My entire defense lies in my account of the situation, Officer. I am confident that I acted for the good of the guild and the hall. However convenient my actions may seem, I would have done the same if my wife hadn't been involved and if Diazzos hadn't challenged me.
He and the other judge had dangerous ideas. They were willing to do anything to gain power, including framing guild members. I did what I thought I had to do, considering my role," Minos said without fear of excessive punishment.
The judge looked at him in silence, seeing that this young man was calm and firm in his position. Considering what he knew about Minos and the young man's potential, this judge was not inclined to punish the Junior Officer before him.
"Very well, I'll give you your first call. You can continue with your duties and merit points, but this will go on your record." The judge said before he banged his gavel and ended the matter.
What did that mean? Well, the Law Enforcement Hall had an internal three-call policy.
The first call was given to those who made a mistake or did something that shouldn't have been done or at least should have been avoided. It had no consequences other than a negative record for the individual.
The second call brought punishments such as imprisonment, loss of merit points, and obligations to new missions. The third call was the final and came with a dismissal and more serious punishments. After that, one would lose the right to serve the hall, lose one rank, lose all their merit points, and be forced to work for a period of time.
Minos knew this was the minimum penalty he could receive for handling the situation the way he had, so he thanked his superior for the decision.
The right thing to do in such a situation would have been to take the matter to one of the judges with the rank of Senior Officer. He had overstepped his bounds since he hadn't done so to prevent harm to Ruth.
The fact that he had been right was what had prevented a greater punishment!
With that settled, he left with one less weight on his shoulders.
