Stinking Outsiders

"Gentlemen, please show your identification."

The two of them produced a Terra identity card.

"Oh, you're not a native of Nostramo."

Upon seeing that the two were Terra, the real estate agent became much less enthusiastic.

"Yes, we're from Terra."

"I know you're from Terra, it's clearly written here, but sir, even if you and your father are from Terra, the rules must be followed."

Father?

Han Mingxuan looked at Malcador and the Emperor.

That's right!

That's absolutely right.

The real estate agent keenly noticed the slight smile on Han Mingxuan's lips.

The legend was indeed true!

The Father of Night's greatest virtue is fairness, impartiality, and following the rules!

He completely ignored the constipated expressions on the Emperor's and Malcador and continued speaking.

"Greetings, gentlemen. I am Slazov. Please follow me."

"Aren't there rooms here?"

Slazov stopped upon hearing this and looked at Malcador.

"Sir, these are properties for the locals of Nostramo."

"As for those from out of town, your housing stock is very tight."

"You even have this distinction?"

"That's natural. Our living environment in Nostramo is among the best in the entire Imperium of Man."

"This is all thanks to the hard work of the Nostramo people. We cannot sell the fruits of our local people's labor to outsiders at a low price. That would dampen their enthusiasm for development. Please come with me."

Then the group arrived at another sales office, which was selling properties to out-of-towners.

"This is it, gentlemen. Please choose whichever you like."

"Are you sure the room here is okay?"

"Hehehe, sir, our real estate sales qualifications have all undergone rigorous review, ensuring both production safety and housing safety."

Upon hearing Slazov's assurance, the Emperor and Malcador became interested.

They wanted to give it a try.

Are you sure there was no favoritism or corruption?

Han Mingxuan was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Slazov's expression changed.

He had initially been kind to these two outsiders out of respect for the Father of Night, but now it seems he had been too lenient.

"Are you two stinking outsiders questioning the fairness of Nostramo's Laws?"

Stinky out-of-towner?

They had initially thought the young man was very polite, so why did he suddenly change his attitude?

That's a change of face faster than turning the pages of a book.

Then, Slazov took out a book, the most famous book in all of Nostramo, the Evernight Code.

This is the first coming-of-age gift every adult Nostramo people receives.

"Look closely, you stinking outsider! I, Slazov, am Evernight Legion Reserves, a qualified Judge recognized by Nostramo!"

"All the Nostramo people now are the first generation to truly witness the rebirth of Nostramo. What are you doubting?!"

"Don't use your Terra's Living Hell Administrative System to question Nostramo's fairness and integrity."

"I swore an oath before the Code: whoever dares to abuse their power, I will smash their skull open with the Code!"

"I'm sorry, Father of Night, I lost my composure."

"It's alright, it's only human nature, I understand."

"Sorry, buddy, let's continue."

"Continue?" Slazov's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"I'm sorry, sir, we cannot serve you today."

Slazov put away the Code and left.

Han Mingxuan looked at Malcador with a somewhat speechless expression.

"Hey buddy, I'm Malcador."

"I know you're Malcador, aren't you the Imperium Chancellor?"

"I've never left Nostramo, and I'm not stupid."

"I've already said, I won't be entertaining you today. Even if you were the Imperium Chancellor, or even the Emperor himself, it wouldn't be an option!"

"If it weren't for the Father of Night himself, the moment he saw you, this Imperium Vermin, the Code would have already been on your face!"

"Alright, alright, Old Ma, that's enough. Slazov, go and get some rest."

"Yes, Father of Night."

Because of this commotion, they won't be able to buy a house in this area.

In the end, he had no choice but to leave.

"Old Ma, why did you have to ask that unnecessary question?" Han Mingxuan said.

"Human hearts are unpredictable, Old Han," Malcador said. "I've just rarely met someone so stubborn and fair."

"Any ideas?"

"Yes, I'd like to get a group of people from you."

What are you doing?

"Anti-Corruption."

He's had enough of being the head of the Imperium Vermin.

"Are you crazy? Are you serious?"

"That's natural."

"Of course not! I'll say it again, the Nostramo people aren't going to clean your toilets."

"Old Han, there's nothing we can do about it. It's for humanity, my old friend," the Emperor said.

"I'm only giving you twenty people, not one more."

"First, I want the Slazov from before."

???

Are you sure?

Joseph Vissarionovich Slazov.

Distinguished Sergeant among the 50,000 Reserve.

He enforced the terms of the Evernight Code with near-obsessive strictness, just like Sevatar.

He is also a staunch supporter of the Nine Laws of the Night Bat.

"Sure."

"That will definitely kill a lot of people, a lot."

"Anti-Corruption requires bloodshed; without ruthless methods, the problem cannot be eradicated."

"Okay, besides him, I'll give you another List. Any requirements?"

"Ideally, they should all be like Slazov."

"That will kill a lot of people, Chancellor."

"I understand. Also, you should talk to Curze; both sides need to cooperate."

That evening, twenty Reserve soldiers, including Slazov, received a secret order from Han Mingxuan.

"Father of Night."

"I've called you here today to give you an important task."

"To be loyal to the Father of Night!"

"Go to Terra anti-corruption."

"Father of Night, is this the Imperium's intention?"

"Yes, Slazov, this is an order signed by Imperium Chancellor Malcador the Sigillite."

"That Head of the Vermin?"

"Yes, but he's had enough of Head of the Vermin, so he needs your help."

"If the Law were followed, many people would die."

"I know, but I'm willing to do anything."

"Yes! Father of Night!"

"Once you get there, you'll be in contact with the Eighth Legion. Sevatar will arrange your work there. If anything comes up, just communicate with Curze."

"Clear!"

That's Sevatar's the Boss.

As long as we can work with Sevatar, we're not afraid of any bullshit treaty restrictions.

"Once Malcador's Holiday is over, you'll come with us to Terra."

"Yes!"

A few days later, Malcador's Holiday ended, and he put on his black robe again.

At the same time, he was looking at the twenty young people in front of him.

"Once you arrive in Terra, you will first undergo Astartes modification before you begin your work."

The Astartes modification will fail, but those who fail are also superhuman.

They are the most powerful units in the auxiliary army and are also excellent at governance.
