Chapter 2447: The Adjudicator
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In a deserted valley filled with strange rocks, Horace stood on a giant rock and looked eastwards nervously.
Around 15 minutes ago, he had finally made contact with Young Master Fergus.
Young Master Fergus agreed to help him escape based on his years of loyalty.
He would receive a new identity and move far away from Tucker City to a small town at the northwestern borders. The Dixon Family had a branch company there and he would become the new CEO of that company. He could return to Tucker City after staying there for 10 years.
With the Dixon Family’s power, he knew very well that Fergus could do that easily.
!!
“Although it’s a border town, it’s still the Dixon Family’s company. There should be many pretty young maidens in the company, right?” Horace was already looking forward to his new life.
A dot of light appeared in the sky and a flying car giving out a dim light appeared at the horizon. It appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye.
There was no logo on the flying car. It hovered five meters in front of Horace just like a ghost.
Horace looked ecstatic. He leaped off from the giant rock to the ground.
The flying car’s door opened and out came a young man in a black body suit and sunglasses. He solemnly said, “Horace?”
“Yes, I’m Horace,” Horace replied with a smile. He was wondering why it wasn’t someone close to Fergus meeting him.
The young man in black clothes clicked on his bangle and confirmed Horace’s identity again. Then, he looked around him and coldly smiled. “You have chosen a nice place.”
“This place is very secluded. We won’t be discovered easily. I discovered this place when I was choosing the locations.” Horace was feeling a little smug, but he still hurried him. “We’d better leave now. I heard that Charlie and Bart were already arrested.”
“Where is your flying car parked?” the young man asked.
“Right behind that rock.” Horace waved his hand and a flying car flew out from a giant rock.
“Excellent, then we shall be on our way now.” The young man nodded and walked to his own flying car.
Horace followed after the young man. He lifted his hand up to show him his bangle. “Should I change my bangle now? Will we be traced?”
The young man walking in front suddenly stopped. His hand grabbed Horace’s throat when he turned around. He watched Horace’s face turn dark red and shook his head. “There’s no need for that. Young Master said that it will be more troublesome if they can’t find you.”
Horace glared at the young man, who lifted him up with one hand, with a shocked and pained expression as he said in a hoarse voice, “H-he wants to silence me…”
“There’s no silencing. They will soon find you committing suicide here because you can’t face the punishment of a lifetime in jail. This is very reasonable.” The young man shook his head and tightened his grasp as he prepared to end him.
Horace had a desperate expression. He already knew Fergus had decided to end this matter right here. Dead men would never talk and could take all the blame.
A white light had already appeared in front of his eyes. He had no way to retaliate or struggle. The other party was an 8th-tier powerhouse and had complete control over him.
Right then, a flash of white light came down from the sky.
Ding!
A thin and narrow black longsword stabbed into the rock.
And the man in black’s arm that was grabbing Horace, was chopped off by the sword.
Fresh blood splashed all over Horace’s face. The young man let out a painful scream, but he couldn’t be bothered with the pain yet as he took out a three-sided short dagger and pounced onto Horace on the ground.
A figure dropped from the sky and stepped onto the man in black’s waist. He was sent flying as he crashed into dozens of stone pillars and weird rocks.
The three-sided short dagger missed Horace’s heart, but it still left a bloody wound on his thigh.
Horace fell to the ground, holding his throat. He couldn’t care about the pain in his leg as he looked at the man in black who appeared suddenly. Horace said in a hoarse voice, “Save me. I’ll tell you anything! I’ll be truthful! Fergus wanted to silence me. I have laundered billions for the Dixon Family in the past few hundred years and they want to silence me!”
The man in the luxurious black long robe wore a black and gold mask. He looked noble and mysterious.
His razor-sharp gaze turned to the young man in black, who was crushed under the giant rock, and lifted his hand at him.
“Bang!”
That young man in black exploded without any warning. The huge explosion wave turned everything within 10 meters of the rock into dust.
“Suicide assassin?” Mag frowned. This was much more vicious than hiding poison in the teeth.
The remaining explosion wave was removed by Mag with a wave of his hand.
Horace looked at the falling rocks with lingering fear, but he also heaved a breath of relief at the same time.
He had never thought that Fergus would send an assassin to kill him, and it was such a fierce person.
“Thank you for saving me. Please bring me away from here. As long as you can guarantee my safety, I will tell you all I know!” Horace kowtowed to Mag.
Judging from the mysterious man in black’s power, he was at least a 10th-tier powerhouse. He just didn’t know which side he belonged to.
Meanwhile, what Horace didn’t know was, on the WeTwit’s live-stream, a chatroom called “Judging Horace” had appeared. The creator was “The Adjudicator”.
The live-stream began when the killer in black was strangling Horace’s throat. Then, the deacon in black descended from the sky, cut off the killer’s arm and sent him flying away with a kick.
In the situation whereby the whole Internet was looking for Horace, this live-stream was pinned to the top when it was discovered.
“Darn it! The Justice Investigation Bureau failed to locate Horace, yet the vlogger found him?!”
“Judging Horace? Perhaps, it’s going to live-stream the judgement and have illegal torture?”
“The scene is so bloody! Is that the legendary plutocrat’s suicide assassin? It’s so scary!”
“He actually mentioned the Dixon Family. Let’s watch it while we can. I have a feeling that the vlogger’s account will be canceled soon.”
“Please help me slash him. I’ll send you to the top of the trending list!”
The netizens were shocked by the suicide assassin, yet at the same time, they were also excited by the live-stream’s content.
“Are you talking terms with me?” Mag stared at Horace.
“You know very well that all I have left to survive on are these secrets.” Horace smiled, revealing his wily old fox’s character.
“Unfortunately, I’m not interested in these things.” Mag shook his head. He bent over and drew his black longsword out from the rocks slowly as he said in stern and cold voice, “Horace, I will judge you for your crimes here today. For the past 300 years, you, together with Charlie and Bart, have sexually assualted 362 women, including 62 minors. 18 victims committed suicide because of the humiliation. Over 100 victims fell into deep depression. Do you admit to your crimes?”
