The Rise of the Black Plain

"Let them think they can still try the case. As soon as they show themselves corrupt, I will announce my decision and judge them as such." Minos said as he signed an order that would nullify any decision these two individuals made in the matter.

The alien in front of Minos couldn't help but sigh as he imagined the trouble these two had gotten themselves into.

Being accused of corruption was the second worst thing that could happen to a guild member. The only thing worse was the crime of treason!

The Law Enforcement Hall was the only group within Armhands that could regulate itself, so as the supervisor of these two judges, Minos had the power to judge them as he wished. But that didn't mean it was good for him. The higher-ups in the Law Enforcement Hall from the internal part of the guild would look at it negatively, which could damage Minos' morale.

However, these people would never get involved in the problem until these two were in bigger trouble with Minos!

Aware of what this meant for Minos and the two judges, this alien couldn't help but like his superior's decision.

It was a dangerous move for Minos and much worse for the two judges. As a result, the one who would benefit the most could be this person who had nothing to do with it!

So he wanted to keep Minos' decision a secret and wait for the show.

The only way for one of the two judges to escape Minos would be to challenge him for the position of supervisor in order to invalidate his orders, but that wouldn't be so easy.

Minos was only at level 99, while they were level 105 Sovereigns. Still, they had to obey him. Why were things like that?

It was because Minos' power was monstrous!

So either these two would be punished, or they would have to take their chances against Minos in the Challenge Arena!

When this judge left the room, leaving his supervisor alone, a smile formed on his face.

That was his chance to become the supervisor of this post!

...

Two weeks later...

Today, the Law Enforcement Hall was filled with external members who had protested against Ruth while she was sitting in the defendant's position in this post in the outer part of the city.

The three judges of this post were in the position to judge her as the show unfolded, with each side presenting their defense or prosecution evidence, and every now and then the judges would ask questions of both sides in the matter.

After the trial unfolded, it was time for the judges to give their thoughts on the case and their verdict.

Minos' ally found Ruth innocent of the charges and indicated that the protesters should be suppressed for their disobedience.

The other two judges, however, had more in mind.

"... After considering all the facts, I believe that Law Enforcer Ruth Miles has acted in bad faith against the external members of the guild, punished them excessively, and acted outside the rules of the guild." The second of them said, saying more or less the same as his ally.

He looked at Ruth and said. "Soldier, you are relieved of your duties, and as punishment, you must return all your merit points to the Law Enforcement Hall."

Ruth remained silent while this individual kept himself from smiling. He knew who Minos was and that this would provoke a reaction from such a man. But he was sure that he had grounds to punish this human woman.

The only thing Minos could do against him and his ally would be something that would harm Emperor Stuart himself, for the case had undeniable evidence against Ruth.

However, this person and his ally underestimated Minos' ability to put himself in a bad situation in order to protect his wives.

As soon as this judge banged his gavel to make Ruth's sentence official, Minos walked through the judge's door, followed by 6 Intermediate Officers he had summoned earlier when he predicted these judges would continue with this illegal trial.

"Officers Diazzos and Suriel, I am relieving you of your duties as judges of the Law Enforcement Hall of the external part of the city," Minos announced while wearing the uniform of this force.

The two judges looked at Minos strangely while everyone in the courtroom remained silent to see what would happen.

"What does this mean, Officer Minos?" asked one of the two judges as the Intermediate Officers approached him and his ally.

Minos replied by showing the paper he had signed a few days ago. "I have removed you from judging this case because I suspect corrupt intentions on your part. However, I gave you a chance to prove me wrong. Unfortunately, that didn't happen."

The two were caught by the six men Minos had brought while his allied judge rose from his seat.

Minos sat down in the chief judge's place. "The two judges will be relieved of their duties and tried soon for the crime of corruption. For now, I pronounce Soldier Ruth Miles innocent in this case." He said before looking at the group of protesters. "Your disobedience will no longer be tolerated. Because of this waste of time and resources and your inability to accept your punishments, I am adding an additional sentence to Soldier Ruth Miles' punishment.

Starting tomorrow, you will serve 10 years in the Blue Field!

This session is adjourned!" Minos banged his gavel as he ended the matter while more guards appeared in the area where the public was in this courtroom, ready to arrest these protesters.

"No! That is an abuse of authority!" Shouted one of the two level 105 men being led out.

"Minos Stuart, you will pay for this! I challenge you to settle our differences in the fighting arena!" Said the stronger of the two, knowing that the decision wouldn't be reversed if one of them didn't suggest that.

Even if Minos' superiors would eventually punish him for his abuse of power, today's decision would hardly be reversed without one of them replacing the current supervisor of that post.

Minos looked such a person in the eye and commented. "Challenging an Officer of a higher position than you? Are you sure about that, Officer?"

"Tsk! Fuck you, Minos!" Diazzos shouted. "Do you think I'm afraid of you? Everyone talks about you, but I've never seen you in action! If you're capable of killing me, then so be it. But I won't accept that without a fight!"

"Then so be it. I accept your challenge." Minos said, accepting the second such event since entering Armhands.

With that decision, the protesters and the other judge were soon taken away by the men from the Law Enforcement Hall, leaving behind a group of Intermediate Officers, Minos, Diazzos, the judge allied with Emperor Stuart, and Ruth.

Unlike other challenges, cases like Diazzos' had to be solved immediately!

With Minos' acceptance, one of the Intermediate Officers took the lead and soon invited them to follow him to the Challenge Arena in the city center.
