Chapter 132: Revenge on Old Hag (c) (1/2)
”As far as I know, a large majority of people in the magician community hate Margerie Symeon as they have seen her using her authority and power to abuse, kidnap, and sexually assault many young men and women but receive no punishment for it. It's all because, with a portion of her wealth, she managed to win the heart of the officials, who sided with her and judged her innocent of all her crimes.”
After mistress of flowers disclosed the insidious reality of the magician association and that corruption runs rampant in it, many magicians were taken aback by her words. It wasn't because they were offended by the wrongdoings of the ones working in the association. Not at all. They have committed many crimes themselves, but in secrecy, and hence, were never caught. They were surprised because this mere magic grandmaster knew all about her misdeeds.
However, how could that be possible?
”How do you know of all that?”
”Are you telling us the truth?”
”Lady, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever comes to your mind without a second thought. if you are saying all that only to impress the honorable lord, without any evidence, then be ready to face troubles.”
A few people refused to believe that she possess concrete evidence or anything of that sort to back up her words. They also thought that she said that to win over Mr. Joker, a person they wanted to befriend. Thus, they lashed out at her, expressing toxic masculinity and feminine jealousy to its limits.
However, how could Elliot let their stupidity and greed get in the way of his revenge?
Elliot raised one of his hands, signaling the others to remain silent. Everyone immediately shut their mouth as they respected him deeply. As silence returned to his ears, he looked at the vixen's face and asked, ”Do you have any proof to back up your words?”
She cupped her hands in respect and said the following words with an enchanting smile on her face, ”As luck would have it, my chrysanthemum hall has records of all her misdeeds, including the names of the official who she had bribed, and it's enough to make the higher-ups of the magician association take action against her and her partners in crime and clean the house.”
”Not only that, but I also know the names and addresses of the people she abused, and I can call them to give the association concrete evidence of her misdeeds and pull her reputation down the drain.
”When that happens, the society will shun her, and the association itself would send their men to capture her and throw her behind the bars of the deadliest jail in Xavier, the Sky Prison. For the remainder of her life, she would be locked there in complete darkness, unable to kill herself or see the light of day. Isn't this the best punishment for an unforgivable criminal who offended Honorable Lord Joker and sexually assaulted hundreds of youngsters?”
When he digested her words and came face to face with the meaning behind them, a broad smile appeared on Elliot's face, one that stretches from ear to ear.
Sky Prison is a floating iron cage with many cells where the worst of the worse criminals of the magician community spend their entire lifetime. Only those with heinous crimes are captured and deported in that place which is truly hell on Earth.
Everyone was silent after hearing his words. No one could believe that such a pretty face would spew out such vicious words. In the magician community, the best way of taking revenge wasn't killing their enemies or doing heinous things to their loved ones. Instead, the best way to take revenge was to send their enemies to the sky prison, where criminals are tortured and tormented endlessly but also kept alive by a mysterious force.
