Chapter 720
“He‘s wearing a black robe... He‘s a general of the Southern Plains! What is he trying to accomplish by appearing with the Blade of Justice at James‘ trial? Is he trying to exonerate James with the sword?”
The crowd was heatedly in a discussion.
Meanwhile, James sat at the defendant‘s stand and smiled.
Seeing the Blade of Justice, the Emperor‘s face darkened.
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Henry announced, “Though Sol is a country with a rule of law, many are able to escape justice by finding loopholes. The Blade of Justice serves to execute these wicked criminals and give them what they deserve.”
Henry said with great confidence, “The Black Dragon, commander–in–chief of the Black Dragon army, has upheld Solean law by executing all those who escaped justice. The former heads of the Great Four of Cansington were executed due to a massacre ten years ago. “Ten years ago, the Cadens, the most powerful and influential family in Cansington, were burned alive. The masterminds of this fire were from the Great Four. The Black Dragon did not let a single guilty person escape. Likewise, he did not kill a single innocent man, woman, or child.”
Henry revealed some of the secrets.
The crowd was in an uproar. “I– Is that true?”
“Impossible.”
“James must have abused the Blade of Justice to kill the innocent! We can‘t let him off the hook that easily.”
Hendrix, the Secretary–General, asked, “Black Shadow General, we can‘t just take your word for it. Do you have any evidence?”
“Yes.” Henry nodded. “The evidence, please.”
James had ordered Henry to call Jay in advance. Through Jay‘s underground intelligence network, Henry managed to collect evidence and found much from Cansington‘s underworld.
They were present at the Cadens‘cemetery that fateful day. They saw with their own eyes how James executed those who were behind the destruction of the Cadens ten years ago with the Blade of Justice
“I can testify that James killed many people with the Blade of Justice that day. They were all behind the destruction of the Cadens ten years ago. They admitted to their crimes before their death.”
“One of my men recorded the moment they admitted to their crimes.”
