Chapter 227 - I Seek For My Own Form of Justice (2/2)

The guard who heard the shouting immediately rushed over.

Mike pushed the little elf to the ground, and both he and Timus turned to glare at him as they tried to persuade the guard to mind his own business.

However, when they turned back and saw the guard’s figure, both of them were stunned.

Not only were they stunned, but the guard himself was also stunned.

“It’s you?!”

“It’s you?!”

Mike, Timus, and the guard all spoke the same sentence in unison, shocked.

This guard was Jess, the rookie guard who had brought Mike and Timus to the Public Security Office!

Jess frowned and looked at the scene in front of him. He glared at Mike and said, “I don’t know how you were released, but you are going too far.

“Are you challenging the laws of the elves?!”

“Laws?” Timus sneered and pointed at the short elf that lay on the ground. “This kid stole from me. Who’s going to help me get it back? Your ‘so-called’ laws?!”

“If he really stole from you, the laws of the elves will give you a proper and defined answer, but you’re not allowed to hit him!” Jess said righteously.

Mike knew that this kid was a stubborn elf, so he did not argue too much. Instead, he pointed at the short elf and said, “Ask him yourself.”

During the time they spoke, the short elf was breathing heavily, trying to catch his breath. When he saw Jess, it was as if he had seen his savior. He quickly used all his strength to say, “Sir Guard, please save me. They are going to kill me!”

“Look, I didn’t steal anything. If you don’t believe me, just tell them to search me!”

The guard Jess glanced at the short elf and frowned at Mike, “What did you lose?”

“A weapon!” Timus quickly said.

“What kind of weapon?” Jess asked further.

“…”

Timus opened his mouth, but he could not speak. Mike also frowned and urged, “He asked you a question. What kind of weapon?”

When he heard his teacher urge him, Timus stammered, “I… I’m not sure.”

“… Are you guys toying with me?”

At this time, the guard Jess’s expression had already become very disgruntled. He suspected that these two guys were toying with him.

However, Timus was unable to say anything.

This was because he had forgotten what the Umbrella of Meredith had looked like before it was stolen.

It could have been in the form of a staff, an umbrella, or perhaps a greatsword.

Mike could see Timus’s gears spinning from the look of his face. He looked at Jess helplessly and said, “In short, it’s a weapon!”

Jess looked at Mike. He could tell that Mike’s tone was very serious. It was definitely not a joke.

Confused, he looked at the short elf that lay on the ground with a puzzled expression, “Are you sure he stole it? I don’t see any weapons on him.

“Are you saying that the weapon’s a dagger or a magic wand?

“If you have no evidence to prove that he stole your things, then I can only ask you to let him go!”

This time, a vein popped out on Mike’s forehead.

“Jess, I know that you are an honest guard, but I want to tell you the truth!

“Some things are difficult to be clearly explained!

“The law can never be perfect, it has many loopholes.

“And when the law is not able to bring me justice, then I can only seek justice for myself!”
