The Price of Justice

During my time studying and living in Utopia, to be precise, I was experiencing the beauty of life and shaping my worldview. Clearly, Master Huang's education was quite good.

The problem is that he made the two sheep too dependent on him, so they immediately wanted to eat grass after they grew up.

Black and White Empresses: I have everything I need!

She had gained status and a dowry; all that remained was a sincere confession.

"Those two little lambs invited me to the press conference, so why didn't they tell me first?"

After the phone call ended.

Huang Cao, who was sunbathing outside, was called in by the women. Sitting on the soft Banshee cushion, he quickly discovered the blind spot.

At the same time, feeling a heavy weight on his head, Xi leaned his body closer and blindfolded him with the armor with the light ink-colored box.

After all that was done, Master Huang, who trusted his family wholeheartedly, didn't notice anything amiss.

Perhaps this is another surprise; they're an old married couple and still like to do these things.

Huang Cao didn't intend to think about it too much. If this really was a surprise from his wives, it would be a bit unromantic to delve into it too deeply.

Since it's a gift they prepared, I'm sure I'll like it.

The women in the house: That depends on how you feel.

In short, after learning more about the situation, Huang Cao decided to travel to Leithanian in half a month to hold a formal diplomatic meeting with his two sheep maids.

"Now that they have become the rulers of a country, there is no need for them to be my maids."

Huang Cao had no doubt about the two sheep's loyalty, so once Utopia officially took over Leithanian, she decided to set them free.

The two girls should also enjoy the beauty of the world.

There's no need to confine them to the tower; if they're willing to continue, Huang Cao would be happy to see it.

He has always been a good boss and would never do anything to make his employees suffer.

Plans in place!

The women who had just seen the diplomatic invitations sent out immediately forwarded the good news to the two sheep in Leithanian.

Upon receiving the news, Evignad and Herimath quickly instructed their trusted subordinates to prepare.

Although this operation was mainly led by Master Huang, the political mission was genuine.

In order to give Master Huang a big surprise later, and also to avoid being discovered, both parties must go through the normal procedure before the sheep actually eat the grass.

Of course, the hardware was also essential, so the Twin Empresses ordered a magnificent yet very sturdy king-size bed.

Only two weeks left, I can't wait...

... a few days later.

While carefully selecting clothing for a diplomatic conference in front of his wardrobe, Master Huang suddenly heard some news.

"Huh? You mean Utopia's goods were seized in Siracusa? Which gang has the guts to do that?"

"Reporting to your Lordship, it is that new judge named Lavinia Falcone."

"Did you offend her somewhere, or was the bribe you gave her not enough? We were just transporting some medicine and weapons, nothing much, really."

"We tried to give this judge a bribe on her very first day in office, but it was all returned the next day. Increasing the amount didn't work either, and we even received a warning."

The staff member on the other end of the phone was also very puzzled.

Siracusa is such a rotten place, how could such a person have come from there?

I initially thought it was just a show; even if they didn't accept bribes, they shouldn't have hindered Utopia's military and commercial activities.

As a result, the goods were seized by the court yesterday during delivery.

"According to our investigation, the people who seized our goods were sent by this judge. We are not taking any rash actions until we have a clearer understanding of the situation. Perhaps you know this lady?"

This is why the Utopia Warrior stationed in Siracusa didn't launch an attack; what if their lord recognized them?

Listening to his subordinate's report, Huang Cao fell into deep thought.

Lavinia... that name sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it right now.

Forget it, since I can't remember, he's probably just a nobody I didn't notice in my past life. In that case, there's no need to hold back.

Perhaps this judge has a sense of justice, but seizing Utopia's goods is simply courting death. Besides, I haven't done anything immoral; I've only violated Siracusa's laws.

However, the laws of Siracusa were essentially meaningless.

Huang Cao won't let himself suffer because of someone's sense of justice. You're a good person, but you're standing on the opposite side of my interests.

Utopia's actions in Siracusa have always been accompanied by a certain degree of violence that had to be employed.

But it wasn't like this from the beginning. At the beginning, they did want to be more civilized, such as establishing a stable territory where some Siracusa could live peacefully.

And what happened? The Siracusa seemed to have something wrong with their minds; they responded to force but not persuasion, and they wouldn't listen to any reasoning.

Violence is the dominant theme in Siracusa.

Therefore, the officials sent by Master Huang to Siracusa could only adapt to local customs and continue to build up their strength according to the plan.

Utopia's strategic plan for Siracusa was very simple: once they had amassed enough power, they would instantly unify all the gangs in the country by absolute force, changing the situation directly from top to bottom.

As for why not send troops, it's because rebuilding Utopia after crippling the country would take time.

Moreover, it's hard to guarantee that it won't incite some strange nationalistic sentiments, which would only add more trouble later.

Does Lavinia have a family backing her?

"This judge does indeed have family backing, which is perhaps one of the reasons for her confidence."

"Even if a small country's gang wants to uphold justice, they should pick on the weak. Pass on my order: send men to give her family a good beating. Remember to be swift; make it painful, but not crippling."

A few minutes later, after giving the order, Huang Cao finally remembered Lavinia's identity in the game and continued to give the order.

"Don't touch this judge yet. First, send a warning letter and have all the family members behind her beaten up as a warning."

Isn't this our Grand Judge Chizui? He's already in office around this time?

But it doesn't matter, I'll keep fighting.

Because this judge's sense of justice is currently hindering the people of Siracusa from achieving true happiness and freedom.

Utopia is the greater justice in this world!

Therefore, there is no need to feel guilty. As for reasoning first, the woman who Chizui Utopia did not reason with them beforehand.

Since they weren't the only ones transporting weapons to Siracusa, why single out Utopia as a prime example?

It's true that if you don't catch the bad ones, you only catch the good ones.

In short, he'll definitely get a lesson.

Chapter 508: The Price of Justice

A week later, Chizui looked at Si Ye and "Father" who had been beaten and hospitalized, and his heart was filled with self-reproach.

Why did they spare me? Why did they harm my family?

I was the one who made the judgment.

"Lavinia, don't blame yourself. I trust your judgment, but I can't stand up and pat you on the shoulder right now."

The Belone Family Head lay on the bed, his voice weak.

The young judge knew what she was facing; she needed a trial powerful enough to shake the whole of Siracusa to solidify her position, but she forgot that the hegemony of the utopia was not unfounded.

Just last night, the family behind the Chizui, the Bellone Family, was suddenly attacked by the Utopia Trading Company.

The Swarm mechanical giants, each over three meters tall, suddenly and unexpectedly invaded the Bellone Family's territory while the Grand Judge was still working.

The Bellone Family's guards and assassins fought valiantly, but couldn't even scratch the paint on the enemy's armor.

The group of mechanical angels that descended from the sky elbowed everyone hard.

The Bellone Family lost all its fighting units overnight; even their young children had large turtles painted on their faces.

The children were all teased until they cried, and the adults were all beaten black and blue, and had all their hair shaved off.

Indeed, the two men in front of the Chizui were bald.

Even the hair on his ears was shaved off, and his face was a terrible sight, bruised and swollen, almost unrecognizable.

Not a single one of the thousands of people at the family headquarters was spared; everyone except the children ended up in the hospital.

Currently, the affairs of the Bellone Family are managed by Madame Sicily to prevent them from being completely swallowed up by other families.

"How badly are you injured? How much has your family's assets been lost?" the Chizui asked.

"Initial estimates suggest the losses are not significant. The main issue is that starting today, it will take at least a month to resume previous activities, which represents a substantial loss."

Just as the Belone Family Head finished speaking, the device in Lavinia's hand, which resembled a mobile phone, suddenly rang.

She pressed a button, and a panicked voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Just now, soldiers from Utopia suddenly broke into the courthouse's storage room and took away all the supplies we had previously confiscated!"

"Are there any casualties?!"

"Your Honor, many people were injured at the scene, but the Utopia soldiers did not do anything excessively outrageous."

The Belone Family Head, lying in his hospital bed, had a complex expression.

Lavinia wasn't her biological daughter, but she was practically like one.

He also glanced at Si Ye lying on the other bed; the wolf cub's fur had been plucked all over.

The pursuit of justice has indeed come at a great cost.

If Utopia hadn't only intended to issue a warning, the Bellone Family would have been completely wiped out tonight.

How exactly should we deal with such a behemoth as Utopia?

"Lavinia, let's take what happened on the phone just now as an example. I want to know what you're going to do next."

"It's obvious we absolutely cannot back down, but I'm actually feeling fear now; my gavel can no longer make a sound like it used to."

Utopia has been entrenched in this land for a long time, having established its presence in the country decades ago, and now controls 30% of Siracusa's territory.

On paper, Utopia did not have an overwhelming advantage over all the gangs.

In reality, this country's territory in Siracusa was merely a small extension of its power.

High-speed Battleship and powerful, fierce warriors could easily mold all the families of Siracusa like clay.

Chizui thought that utopia was a sign of a great power's magnanimity and tolerance.

She just wanted to make an example of someone and use the fame of Utopia to establish her own reputation.

Only in this way can the fairness of the law be implemented. Originally, I thought that a great power like China would not intervene directly, and that I only needed to bow my head at the negotiating table, and that I would not care even if I was scolded.

When his men seized the goods, the Utopia staff did not stop them, which gave Chizui a sense of confidence that Siracusa still had some weight.

As a result, yesterday Master Huang slapped her hard across the face. What does it mean to be a great nation?

To what extent must something be done to qualify as hegemony?

My military strength is the foundation of my confidence to easily crush you all; who told you you couldn't defeat me?

Terra's golden age of development is coming to an end.

The First Terra only took place a little over fifty years ago. Have you already forgotten the dangers lurking on this land?

The reason why countries are hesitant to take action is because of the pressure from utopian ideals; if war breaks out, they could easily be exploited.

Utopia's diplomatic style is indeed tough, but it completely disregards the dignity of small countries.

However, without this country, Siracusa would never have had such a long period of golden development.

Moreover, Utopia did not do anything heinous in Siracusa, and did not even engage in usury.

In other words, they would lead the people from their own territory to the ancient people to cultivate land and engage in trade, while also conquering various gangs by force.

Of course, to gain a foothold in this violent land, Utopia's approach and methods are exceptionally tough; at least, its territorial expansion is still fraught with violence.

There's a rule in Siracusa: what money can't solve, fists often do.

That's how Utopia's territory came about; if money couldn't buy it, it could only be annexed according to local rules.
