Sky Garden, Verdict Department.
The peace this place had once known was now gone.
The red alert Light Screen in the sky had thrown every member of the Verdict Department into a frantic flurry.
"Sky Garden's system has been hacked again!"
"Boss, we can't locate the point of intrusion!"
"Our contact with the prison has been cut off too! Warden Marcus has deleted all of us from his train friends list!"
"All the prisoners have escaped! They're wreaking havoc across Sky Garden! Not only that, several of the city's guilds have also rebelled!"
Chai Ming sat at the head of the room, his gaze icy as he stared at Han Qi, the pink-haired mayor of Sky Garden beside him.
"You did this."
It was not a question, but a statement.
"What a terrible misunderstanding. You've had me trapped here this whole time, and there's this collar too~ You'd know even if I used the system chat."
"You can check the records and see whether I've used the Train System."
The smile on Han Qi's face was anything but false.
It was as though he were mocking Chai Ming's incompetence.
"Or could it be~ that our esteemed head of the Verdict Department is already at his wits' end facing this situation? So he can only pin the blame on a helpless ordinary person like me?"
Chai Ming neither spoke nor grew angry. He simply seized Han Qi by the throat and spoke coldly, while the other man smiled as though he could feel no pain at all:
"If your death wouldn't cause problems for Sky Garden, I'd have killed you long ago."
"Yes, yes, yes~ Director Chai Ming. If not, if so, if, if~ So many ifs~"
"Heh, before you became head of the Verdict Department, you were a killing machine.
