Death May Be Spared, but Punishment Cannot Be Escaped (2)

"Yes... yes..."

"Thank you, Lord Roya, for sparing my life..."

The leading Rear Admiral had been transformed into a white-haired old man.

Although he was deeply dissatisfied with this punishment, being able to keep his life was already the greatest mercy he could hope for. How could he care what kind of punishment had befallen him?

After all,

the Justice League was Roya's force. What kind of terrifying existence was Roya?

Really, among them, never mind Rear Admirals—even Vice Admirals or Navy Admirals, who could possibly be Roya's
