Chapter 54 - The Don And The Trial Of Injustice 1 (1/2)

The outside of the village hall building was flooded by the crowd. Most of them had only a single purpose in the mind, to see the young Don in person.

The victims of the unsolve cases hit him with a protest, the local media wrote down every single details of his appearance and the crimes they gathered from the mouth of the citizens, and the few number of local tourists were a little bit confused of what's happeing before their eyes.

Hermes quietly followed the elder who was walking like a local hero in front of the citizens. He heaved an exhausting sigh upon seeing how many people were looking forward for this moment.

'This elves are really desperate. To think they gather everyone here in this moment. Unbelievable.'

”Master, there are so many of them. I cannot wait to eat them all. Should we use them for the new recipe?” said the slime happily. ”No, stand down. We won't do that. It is not part of the plan. You need to calm down a bit. Don' t try anything that could ruin it,” Hermes stopped her.

The slime kept her mout shut for the meantime.

'Good, this is pretty good development. Humans are really dumb to take the bait. The more people torment him, the more burden they are putting into his head. Hermes must be nervous right now,' Elder Kilo commented inside his mind.

”Everyone, please give us a path. You are only delaying the chance of us to put this man into his place. Do not worry people of the Neue Fiona village, the local government shall punish this madman for his crimes against humanity. So please, follow our simple request,” Elder Kilo pleaded.

All of the villagers obediently followed and let them moved without a problem.

'Against humanity? I think this is absurb. Ironically, this old elven man uses the power of the mob to ruin my image by using that word. Gosh, this is really making me sick,' Hermes heaved a sigh again.

The two guards opened the door, and the people inside including the staffs were surprised from their entry.

Ilona, on the other hand, remained quiet. She waited the guests talk to her.

”Good afternoon, gentlemen. What can I do for you?” asked Ilona professionally. ”I would like to file a case and request for a national court trial for the criminal who was one of the public enemy of the village,” Elder Kilo answered politely.

”To whom against to?” Ilona inquired. ”Hermes Archnemesis, the Don of the Archnemesis clan,” Elder Kilo introduced, pointing his index at the arrested suspect.

'Wow, this elf is skilled in making a scene. He should apply as a spokeperson next time,' Hermes commented inside his head.

All of the staffs and other people were bewildered on his announcement.

Ilona's lips curled up and she was almost ready to laugh. However, her job as a receptionist was her first priority. Therefore, she should act properly according to her profession.

”That's a wonderful news, Elder Kilo. But you need to file an official request if you wish to make it happen,” Ilona slid it over on the desk. The elder picked it up and used a spell to jot down his request instantly. ”I'm done. Please tell me if there is another one that I need to fill up,” Elder Kilo handed over the official document.

Ilona adjusted her reading glasses and review it quietly.

”Ilona, have you seen my brothers earlier this afternoon? I was so sure that they went here to submit a report to the chief, though,” asked Elder Kilo politely. ”Yes, there are currently at the main office with the chief. The last thing I heard was, they were in the middle of a short briefing about the important reports related to the unsolved cases,” Ilona responded promptly.

Whilst the two people were busy on their business, Hermes wandered his eyes at the place.

There were a few local villagers inside and outside the building trembled upon seeing his mask, and the others looked away with a cold sweat.

All of them were afraid to get his attention.

”I wonder why these people are too afraid?” asked Hermes with a low voice. ”Oh, master. You sure love to make a joke,” the slime commented.

Ilona finished to review the file, and she handed it over to her subordinate.

”Elder, do you want to meet with the chief? I can personally call him if you don't mind,” Ilona suggested. ”No, you don't have to. I am not the man who will disturb their meeting. By the way, I will pay the compensation for the document now,” Elder adamantly declined, and he pulled out his magic wallet out of his chest pocket.

”There are no problem in the request, so you don't have to pay the price fee. The main office shall cover the expenses due to a certain reason that your group arrested the suspected formidable man in this island. According to our protocol, we will held the court trial with other members of the council to judge him in person. Please send the suspect in the waiting room. Tell the guards to guard him properly, and please wait for the next instruction. I will personally pay a visit and notify you for an update about the court trial. I submit the request to the chief, so please wait for his decision afterward, ” Ilona instructed briefly.

”Then, we will excuse ourselves. Thank you very much, milady,” Elder Kilo placed a hand on his chest and lowered his head once before he left the desk. ”You're welcome, sire,” Ilona bowed her head respectfully.

'Wonderful, this is an unexpected turn of event. I'm sure the underboss will overjoy to hear this good news.' Ilona simpered.

Two guards clinged on his shoulders and they dragged him up to the stairs thereafter.

In the rooftop of the small store in front of the Village hall building, the small girl observed the situation through her paper binocular.

”Hermes Archnemesis, this is not according to the Grandlord's plan, but to think it is putting you in a shameful position, this is best day of my life. I don't know why my big sister is reluctant to come with me, but I will never give up to convince her. Ho~ho~ho. Your luck is running out. But don't think our battle is over yet, this is just a prologue of your story. The destruction will begin after the war begun,” the informant declared.

She slowly faded away from her position.

”I won't let my big sister to die in such a shame manner, so let's wait until the right time comes into fruition,” she said before her whole body melted away like a smoke in the air.

Meanwhile, there was a beautiful girl went down on the stairs. Two attendants escorted her on the lobby.

All of the guards inside the inn were captivated in her beauty.

The four servants carried her long skirt from the back.

Ylla opened the door for her excellency.

Daliah gave a strict instructions to her servants to clear the way for her liege.
