They Need to Be Corrected and Saved!

Sharku Manor.

Inside the spacious hall, it seemed that a grand banquet was being prepared.

When Ian arrived.

I saw many servants carrying various ingredients toward the kitchen, while many others were making various arrangements in the hall.

He saw many familiar figures.

Ian's arrival clearly surprised everyone present.

"Ian, you're finally awake!" Uvogin was the first to see Ian and called out immediately.

He only learned from Machi that Ian had returned. He didn't go to training today, and the others waited for Ian to wake up.

Coincidentally, Xia and Kazan returned to the manor today.

Upon learning of Ian's return, they immediately arranged for a banquet to welcome Ian back.

"This is?"

Ian, unaware of the situation, pointed curiously at the field.

What intrigued him even more were Eluna and Aimina, who were wandering around the field, curiously observing everything.

"This dinner was prepared for you, arranged by Xia and the others."

Uvogin grinned.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia, who was discussing something with Kazan not far away, noticed Ian's arrival and quickly pulled him over.

"Lord Ian, it's been a long time."

"Lord Ian!"

The two greeted Ian in unison.

Perhaps due to managing many aspects of the city's operations, Xia has become more mature than before.

Ian waved his hand casually and asked.

"You two don't need to be so polite. How have you been lately? Is everything running smoothly in Ejin City?"

He spent the last two days helping that guy Jin solve a major problem at the Gandor Ruins.

However, their actions at that Ruins are destined to remain unknown to the outside world.

Nobody knows.

Because of them, a serious disaster that should have swept through the entire Gogar Kingdom was averted.

The sun rose as usual.

People continued to go to work as usual, following their own routines, as if it were just another ordinary day.

Of course, Ian didn't care.

For now, all he needs to do is watch Ejin City develop as he has expected.

Upon hearing Ian's question, Kazan and Xia exchanged a glance, Xia replied with some excitement.

"Everything in Ejin City is now as you predicted. Thanks to the Justice Rope, there is virtually no crime in the city, and no fertile ground for gangs to thrive."

"With the support of Commander Kazan, we have provided more jobs for more people, redesigned the slum redevelopment plan, and transformed several warehouses that were formerly gang strongholds into skills training centers!"

"Within the government, we have also made great efforts to eliminate redundant personnel in the internal system. In terms of trade with other cities, we have reformulated the tax system for waterways. Currently, the economy is growing!"

"The Ejin City is completely transformed!"

"The entire city seems to have been revitalized, the people are very satisfied, and are willing to contribute to the city's development..."

Xia spoke at length.

However, after listening for a while, Ian felt it was too complicated.

As expected, I was not cut out to manage economic and political affairs.

He quickly interrupted the other person and said softly.

"Xia, you don't need to report to me in such detail. It's good that I can see your policies are being implemented very smoothly."

At this point, he glanced at Kazan, then returned his gaze to Xia, and said earnestly.

"Economic development is important for a city, but morality is equally important..."

"You don't need to worry about city safety; I will take full responsibility!"

"However, I hope you will also remember the belief you held at the beginning. I don't expect 100% fairness, that's unrealistic, but I also don't want to see this city regress to its former level in the future."

"People at the bottom of society yearn for opportunity, fair opportunity. This is the starting point for everything, and at the very least, we should do everything in our power to guarantee this for them. This requires the constraints of the law... At the same time, we cannot place all our hopes on the law..."

As for morality.

Ian looked at Xia and Kazan, and thoughtfully told them a story.

"Xia, Kazan, I have a question for you. If a stranger collapsed on the street, and you were just ordinary people, would you help and rescue him?"

Xia and Kazan were both taken aback.

At this moment, Chrollo, Feitan, Franklin, and even Illumi came over.

Ian didn't pay any attention; he just watched the two of them.

Xia and Kazan thought for a moment, not understanding what Ian wanted to say, so they answered what they truly thought.

"I will help him, because it's just something I can do easily, so why not?" Xia replied earnestly.

"I can do that too. I've done it plenty of times before, although... it might seem a bit stupid to others," Kazan said, shrugging.

Ian nodded.

"So... what if you save him, but he turns around and bites you, and the judge in our city ultimately rules that you must compensate the injured man for all his medical expenses and losses?"

Upon hearing Ian's words...

The people present all frowned slightly.

Such a thing is possible!?

Kazan and Xia's expressions changed slightly, and their brows furrowed.

"Why... this violates the law!" Xia exclaimed, bewildered.

Ian simply looked at him calmly and said nothing more.

"The purpose of the law is to maintain the stability of the regime. Which of the laws of Ejin City requires you to help others?"

Xia was taken aback.

"But... but... how could there be such a person?"

Ian said calmly.

"As long as there are enough people, there will always be those who appear, so don't worry about that. Just think about what to do..."

After a moment of silence, Xia spoke.

"Then I'll have no choice but to continue the lawsuit..."

Ian straightened his clothes and said softly.

"Now, if I were the judge, I would question you: why did you help someone you didn't injure?!"

Ian's words, though calm, sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

This moment.

Everyone realized the hidden meaning in Ian's words.

Chrollo and Feitan, being the most perceptive, both instantly changed their expressions, understanding the meaning Ian was trying to convey.

This is the gray area between law and morality.

It is even a test of the evil in human nature.

Xia's expression turned somewhat grim; at that moment, he understood the meaning behind Ian's words.

Even so, the judge's ruling in accordance with the law seems to have no problem!

The judge did not make any mistakes; everything was carried out within the standard framework.

But...

What could be the consequences!?

Everyone present was intelligent, and they quickly realized the answer...

The malice is profound...

And this... is just a trivial little thing...

Within the framework of the law.

How many more such insignificant little things are hidden, all conforming to procedural justice, yet causing those with high moral standards to suffer greatly, while those with low moral standards gain the upper hand!

How can there be any good people left in this world forever?!

Ian looked at everyone and calmly began to speak, which could be considered as stating his own thoughts.

"If one day, someone falls on the street and the law doesn't even protect those who help them, then... in my view, such Ejin City would lose its reason for existence."

"Because it... lost justice!"

Upon hearing his words, Kazan and Xia were both taken aback.

Ian continued calmly.

"This city is a beginning for me, and it's also... for you."

"Pay more attention, don't be afraid of making mistakes, and don't be afraid of offending any faction!"

"What I need is to see this city bear unique spiritual fruits and blossom with a different cultural landscape."

"It is here that you should explore a reasonable way for city rulers to interact with the people!"

"Always remember, as long as we stay true to our original aspirations, justice will prevail!"

"This way, in the future... when we renovate vice cities like Yorknew City, you'll be able to get up to speed quickly and ensure a smooth takeover."

"I... hate that evil chaos. It needs to be corrected, it needs to be saved. Do you understand?"

Ian patted the two of them on the shoulder.

Immediately, the two felt a heavy sense of responsibility for being entrusted with high expectations, and were both nervous and extremely excited.

"Understood, Lord Ian!!"

Xia and Kazan were proud and shouted in unison.

Soon.

Ian's face returned to its usual smile as he looked at Chrollo and the others, and laughed.

"This time, we've found you a teacher. With both of them here, your previous Nen Ability concept should be completed very quickly!"

He pointed at Aimina and the other two, then smiled at Chrollo.

At this time.

Aimina and the other two had also come over.

"Is this a banquet?" Eluna asked curiously.

"Unfortunately, we can't understand their conversation either. Although we're already learning, it would be great if your language were simpler..."

Hearing her words, Ian paused for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle.

"I almost forgot."

"I was wondering why you kept talking to me and ignored everyone else..."

Don't worry, I'll be able to let you communicate with us normally very soon.

As he spoke, he took out a piece of [Translation Konjac].

Aimina was taken aback.

She had seen this before when Ian fought his father; it seemed his father had taken it from him...
