303 Compensation (2/2)
Sherlock pointed at the report and said, ”Take a look. We are speaking with data. When Eternal Kingdom discovered something was amiss, we hurried to Winterfell immediately. I won't elaborate on the events. We tried to protect Winterfell, but we weren't Samael's match.”
Sherlock pulled back his sleeves and revealed his lacerated arm. He said, ”Besides the stated number of deaths, Samael caused irreversible harm to me. The wound penetrated the upper layer of my skin. I went for a professional medical checkup, and the physician recommended an immediate amputation. This is my medical report.”
Sherlock placed the report with the label ”Fatality Hospital” on the table. Many of the creatures present gasped in astonishment and pity.
”That's… unfortunate.”
While the Grim Reaper examined the medical report, Sherlock nodded and said, ”I'm quite easy going. I'll lose an arm at most. However, my servants suffered heavy casualties during the battle. They were all successful professionals with their own families. He is one of them.”
Sherlock picked up a photograph that depicted a double Dagger Gnome with a broken neck, who was lying dead on the ground. Sherlock continued explaining, ”His alias was ChestHair. He was the bravest warrior in Eternal Kingdom. He is survived by 2 mothers and fathers, 30 brothers and sisters, and 4 pairs of grandfathers and grandmothers. He also left behind 50 children. Now his family has lost a grandson, a son, a husband, and a father. All of this was caused by Samael. I'm not blaming Samael or objecting to the Spirit World's system of the Devil Kings. I know that this system has been in effect for millions of years, and I can't deny the contributions of the seven Devil Kings to society. However, in my Dungeon, there are 100,000 cases similar to that of ChestHair. They have to obtain compensation.”
”Hades will release their souls…”
Sherlock interrupted the Grim Reaper and said, ”Apologies, their souls were destroyed by Samael using a special method. They are permanently dead. I managed to record a precious video before they passed on. It will be sufficient to explain everything.”
Sherlock took out a round Adamantine rock and showed the images within. Thousands of gamers perished in the battle, and numerous gamers rushed out from the Teleport Portal and charged onto the battlefield.
Samael was grabbing BurningChestHair's throat, strangling him to his death.
The images stopped. Sherlock was shedding tears upon seeing the vicious bloodbath.
The situation became extremely awkward.
”I understand. I'll go back and do a detailed study. I'll give you a satisfactory answer.”
The Grim Reaper nodded.
”Let's move on to the next topic…” Nicholas said.
…
When Sherlock walked out of the Conference Hall, he saw a carriage stopping by the roadside.
The door of the carriage opened, and a Hamster peered out. He waved at Sherlock.
Sherlock walked over and got inside the carriage.
The Hamster closed the carriage door.
Lilo was sitting in the carriage. She was wearing a detailed and intricate floral lace skirt, and her hands were covered with lace gloves.
”Can I take a look at that precious pearl? You said that it was the key to conquering the Heavenly Kingdom,” Lilo said.
