Chapter 721


    Under everyone’s gaze, James pulled out the de of Justice.


    He looked at the de of Justice and pointed it at the Emperor.


    “What?”


    The masses were shocked by his actions.


    The Emperor was stunned. His heart palpitated as cold sweat beaded his forehead.


    After a few seconds, he calmed down and shouted, “What is the meaning of this, James? You‘re


    pointing your weapon at me. Are you implying that you want to kill me?”


    James smiled. “Emperor, you‘re overthinking this. I was just casually waving it around.”


    He was holding up the de of Justice, which weighed more than five kilograms. His arm had gone


    weak, and his face gradually turned pale as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Wielding the de


    of Justice took all his strength.

    He reluctantly put it down.


    Many sighed in relief. Henry looked at everyone again. “I‘ve said everything I needed to.”


    After speaking, he walked to an empty seat below and sat down.


    The jurors in the higher seats began to debate.


    “What should we do about this?”


    “The ck Dragon has the de of Justice and has the authority to enforce thew to kill anyone who


    evades legal punishment.”


    “He epted the money for the sake of the people.”


    “Although he is guilty, it isn‘t an unforgivable crime.”


    Hearing the discussion, the Emperor became anxious. He hurriedly persuaded, “Jamesmitted


    countless crimes and should not be given impunity. It‘s a mistake to im that he sympathizes with the


    people of Sol. A country must stand by itsws and policies. epting bribes and misappropriating


    funds under the guise that he was serving the people is inexcusable,”


    The Blithe king looked at the Emperor and asked, “Then, what do you say his sentence should be?”


    “I propose for him to be dismissed, demoted to a civilian, and for him to return the de of Justice to


    us,” said the Emperor.


    “Yeah, I agree.”


    “I agree that James‘ homicides were justifiable. However, it is a crime for him to ept bribes and


    misappropriate funds. As an armymander, he should never have epted the money. He


    should‘ve reported it to the state if he knew the masses were in trouble so that the financial


    departments could allocate funds to support him.”


    Many people voiced their agreement with the Emperor’s proposal.


    The judges discussed the results for half an hour.


    Ultimately, the Emperor stood up and announced, “James has possession of the de of Justice and


    the authority to enforce thew. However, epting bribes and misappropriating funds during his


    tenure vites thew. Sol shall not tolerate such actions. Thus, he will be demoted to a civilian, and


    the de of Justice and his ck Dragon card will be confiscated.”


    After the announcement, the Emperor looked at James and asked, “Do you have any objections,


    James? You may file an appeal if you‘re dissatisfied with the sentence. The King of Sol will personally


    try you.”


    James nodded and said weakly, “I ept the sentence.”


    “Alright. Please return the de of Justice to the courthouse‘s main hall.”


    James stood up with the de of Justice and slowly walked toward the courthouse‘s main hall with


    countless cameras pointed at him.


    There was a ce for the sword at the front of the main hall. When the ck Dragon Armycked a


    commander, the de of Justice had no master and had always been safeguarded here.


    James approached the ce, turned around, and looked at the people behind him. His gaze stopped


    on the Emperor, and he smiled. “One day, I‘lle back here to pick up the de of Justice and take


    the lives of those who deserve to die.”


    Hearing this, the Emperor‘s heart skipped a beat. He maintained a calmposure and thought to


    himself, ‘I‘m afraid you‘ll never have the chance.


    James put down the de of Justice. Then, he looked at the countless jurors and asked, “May I go


    now?” “Yes,” the Blithe King replied.


    James raised his legs and began to leave step by step.


    Many cameras captured this scene.


    James‘ back was slightly hunched, and he no longer had the appearance of a war god. Instead, he


    looked like an old man on the brink of death. He walked out of the courthouse.


    Many people were gathered outside.


    These people came to witness James‘ sentence, but no one imagined that it woulde to this result


    Seeing the fatigue on James‘ face, everyone went silent. They used to see him as a dangerous tiger


    and a threat to society.
