The Supreme Satanic System

Then the middle-aged-looking man with the goatee and lean feature stepped forward and announced with a trace of his Angelic Grace Energy imbued in it.

"Hello, everyone!" Hanzo Tempest said with a friendly smile.

No one from the crowd responded, as all he could see was their annoyance written all over their faces and the surrounding turned awkwardly silent.

But Hanzo Tempest didn\'t care a bit as he had already experienced such unfavorable situations multiple times. He continued with a smile, "First, I have my consent with the punishment of these 14 terrorists."

Someone from among the crowd bellowed: "Then why are you still wasting our time? Just keep your idea to yourself."

This time Hanzo Tempest furrowed his brows a bit and quickly returned to normal, Then he continued, "I know it must have dissatisfied you all with this… But, please be patient. There is something we need to uncover before we kill these criminals."

Then he glanced at Bobby and said, "Agent Loki Bradworth! Since you\'re the one that caught them. My first part of the investigation requires you to answer some of my questions."

"Hanzo Tempest, are you out of your mind?... Just stop what you\'re trying to do. Or else I\'ll use everything in my power to deal with you." Vice-Chancellor Kuppo warned him in a soft tone. He had already cast an invisible soundproofing wall magic around the podium. So, the twelve people on the podium only heard his words, including Bobby, who was currently in Loki\'s disguise.

"Vice-Chancellor Kuppo, aren\'t you the one overstepping here?" A lady counselor named Rhea Winchester jumped into the conversation.

"Yes, Rhea is right. It\'s just a protocol to first question the captor. So, stop interrupting our investigation." Another lady from the Griffin Family* also interjected, supporting Hanzo Tempest.

Then all the 8 members of the Blue Lagoon\'s Punishment Department, who were from the four noble families, also voiced their support for questioning Bobby.

Only the gorgeous, full-figured Sia Vergil remained silent.

Vice-Chancellor Kuppo\'s face fell as all of them insisted on continuing the trial by the book.

"Vice-Chancellor Kuppo, thanks for standing up for me. But, I reckon that councilor Hanzo is right to question me and I get it. It\'s okay. There\'s nothing to hide, anyway." Bobby said calmly as he made a gentle smile at Kuppo.

"Fine, if you say so, then I can let this one go…. Hanzo, what\'re you waiting for? Go on. Ask your damn questions." Vice-Chancellor Kuppo finally agreed but on the other hand, he was thankful to Bobby for voicing out and saving him from further ganging up by those 9 chancellors.

"Ha ha hee-hee-hee, okay? But first, you need to remove the magical array you have cast around us…. I think the people may like to know what we\'re doing here." Hanzo Tempest said slyly as he chuckled.

"No, absolutely not! Loki is the seed for this term\'s Chief Candidate. There\'s no need to make it public." Vice-Chancellor Kuppo objected quickly.

"It\'s okay, sir. I can handle it. Let\'s get it done as fast as possible and deal with those criminals. The crowd must be anxious too." Bobby said, but he was screaming in his head, \'Can you just stop interfering? You\'re not helping me at all. And what is with these Danzo guys? Did he somehow find any dirt on me? Whatever, man.\'

"Hahahaha, you must be bored, right?" Cynthia asked telepathically in his mind as she burst into a peal of laughter.

"Yeah, you know I\'m not a fan of such flashy public things; especially when they glanced at me like some sort of hero. It\'s not my style." Bobby responded telepathically in his mind.

Meanwhile, Vice-Chancellor Kuppo waved his hand in the air and deactivated the invisible soundproof veil surrounding the podium.

"Thank you, my friend, for your understanding!" Danzo Tempest said, and he turned his attention to Bobby. "State your name, family, and your rank?" He asked, by the book.

"Agent Loki Bradford from Brad… no. I haven\'t thought of a noble family surname yet." Bobby replied, and he continued, "Mine if I skip my family name?"

The two councilors from the Bradworth family frowned, as Bobby didn\'t use the Bradworth family name.

"It\'s okay. Continue!" Danzo Tempest said with a mild tone.

"Rank, Elite level 10, and a seed for the upcoming Chief-selection-trial," Bobby responded with a calm tone.

"Alright, I\'ll stop beating around the bush." Danzo Tempest said with a deep tone and he asked, "My first question is, the Truth Of Banishment Gang comprises 15 members, but I only see 14 here. Where is the last one, the lady named Aur?"

"When I reached the Archipelago Island, I only spotted those 14 and I didn\'t see any lady among those sinners," replied Bobby.

"Hmm, did you perhaps hold her kidnap somewhere instead of apprehending the authorities?" Danzo asked again.

"No,"

"Then, tell me this. Where in the hell are all the loots of the gang? According to the report, you didn\'t even turn up a single nickel. Did you keep it to yourself?" Danzo asked a ticklish question this time. He observed Bobby\'s body language and his facial reaction. But he couldn\'t find a clue.

"You\'re right, sir! I didn\'t turn up a single nickel, and that\'s because there\'s no need to….I didn\'t find even a single nickel on them other than those I apprehended to the headquarters along with them." Bobby answered.

Hearing that, the crowd burst into booming laughter.

"Hmm, isn\'t that suspicious? The wealth in the hand of this gang is not some wealth of a county. It has the whole wealth of even a city and you said you didn\'t find a nickel from them… Agent Loki Bradworth, according to article no. B21-Manjushri code of our Blue Lagoon\'s constitutional code of conduct, I hereby, announced to do a personal soul search on you." Danzo Tempest said, finally coming to the point.

"Danzo!" Vice-Chancellor Kuppo shouted.

"Vice-Chancellor, why are you so worked up? Did I say something wrong?" Danzo asked.
