Special Holiday

"Yes, we can start preparing now. Once Guilliman and I return, everything will be fine."

"Okay, okay, Old Han, thank you so much! You're my lucky star!"

"We're family, no need for formalities. My Anti-Corruption is for the Imperium, and isn't your well-rested state also for the Imperium?"

"Yes, yes, Old Han, what you said is very insightful, very insightful."

After ending the brief phone call, Han Mingxuan began to consider the next steps in the Anti-Corruption campaign.

Although Guilliman had him steal the prize and bring it directly to Terra, he still had to do what he was supposed to do.

"Sir, please don't take it to heart. Those negative comments about you from the outside world are all just their speculations."

"Haha, Endymion, you're mistaken. I don't care about that."

During his meal with Euten and his mother, he learned some of the rumors circulating about him in Terra.

What kind of old bat has become a spirit?

A bloodthirsty serial killer.

The Evernight Daemon of Nostramo.

An aggregate of resentment from Gang.

Using public office for private gain; a wolf in sheep's clothing.

And so on, and so forth.

It feels like I could use myself as a model to create a whole bunch of horror stories.

"I admire your wisdom and magnanimity, sir."

"Don't give me that crap. I get pretty bored staying in Terra every day. This is just for fun. I've even started thinking about how to write some supernatural tales."

"I've already thought of a name: The Demon King's Castle of the Evil Skin-Peeling Old Bat."

Endymion shook his head even more upon hearing these words.

Mr. Han was being overly optimistic.

"Three men can make a tiger," sir.

"Heh, believe it or not, these guys wouldn't dare utter a sound when they see me."

Besides, once he's thoroughly plundered the entire Terra aristocracy, who will have the time to spread rumors about him?

At that time, the newly promoted nobles will all have to kneel down and kowtow to him, saying that he did a good job killing them and that he should kill more.

"But what are you thinking about, Roboute?"

"Uncle, I'm wondering how you plan to govern Terra?"

Terra is not Nostramo; here, power struggles are deeply entrenched, and intrigue is commonplace.

What should I do about my Uncle?

"Simple, just invite them to a meeting first."

"A meeting?"

"Yes, it's just meetings. Learn it slowly; this skill is very useful and always works."

After Han Mingxuan and Guilliman returned to Terra, he first arranged for them to meet with the Emperor.

Putting everything else aside, once the Emperor speaks, Guilliman won't be able to escape even if he wanted to.

Then he went to see Slazov.

"Slazov, the Phase Two the Anti-Corruption campaign can begin."

"Yes! To be loyal to the Father of Night!"

"Based on what you've learned during your time gathering information in Terra, who do you think should be the first to be brought down?"

This...

Slazov hesitated, not because he was cowardly or afraid, but because he needed to consider the consequences.

"Speak up, speak confidently and boldly. From now on, I am your direct supervisor. Don't panic."

"Yes! Based on all the information we've gathered, the first person we should arrest is the biggest Head of the Vermin in the entire Imperium of Man."

"The most malignant tumor of all, the Imperium Chancellor, Malcador the Sigillite."

Is that really the case?

"Alright, then we'll arrest Chancellor Malcador."

Um?

Really?!

Really!

The Father of Night is still the Father of Night!

He deeply despised the nobility and evil; before him, all evil would be brought to justice!

"Yes! I'll dispatch men right away!"

"Okay, let me know once you've gathered everyone, and then we'll go together."

"After all, he's the Imperium Chancellor; he needs to maintain a certain level of prestige. Besides, I can't afford to be absent from the Anti-Corruption work."

"Yes! For the Father of Night!"

Then, within just three minutes, Slazov mobilized everyone.

In addition to the twenty Myriarch, there were also the Centurions of the Eighth Legion.

Do you know what we're doing?

"Anti-Corruption!"

"Do you know who our first target in the Anti-Corruption campaign is?"

"Chancellor!"

Only those twenty people uttered those two words, while the other hundreds remained completely silent.

Arrest the Chancellor?!

Are we planning Horus Heresy?!

Han Mingxuan didn't even glance at the hundreds of people; he simply continued speaking.

"That's right, the one we need to arrest is the Imperium Chancellor, the chief culprit of corruption, the biggest tiger in the entire Imperium, the Malcador the Sigillite!"

So... we're really going to stage Horus Heresy, aren't we?

The few hundred men from the Eighth Legion, upon hearing Han Mingxuan's words, felt that it was too late to even die now.

"Everyone, take your weapons and put on your uniforms. We're going to ask Chancellor Prime Minister for his cooperation in the Investigation."

"Yes!"

Not long after, the Department of Justice Law Enforcers Law Enforcers, dressed in dark blue uniforms and carrying specially made riot batons at their waists, were all mobilized.

The grand procession, responding with the utmost speed, headed towards the Chancellor's Residence.

"What... what are you doing?!"

Astartes, standing guard outside the Chancellor's Residence, watched the Enforcement Squad with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"According to the Department of Justice's Investigation, Imperium Chancellor Malcador the Sigillite committed serious disciplinary and legal violations during his tenure and needs to be taken away for Investigation. This is an arrest warrant Department of Justice."

"Bastards! You dare to arrest the Chancellor? This is treason!"

"We are enforcing the law, Astartes warriors, please cooperate."

What if I say no?

The other person's finger was already on the trigger of the Boltgun gun.

"Take it with you."

"Yes!"

Before the other party could even react, Slazov had already captured him.

Not only were they disarmed, but they were also completely suppressed.

"Open the door, be polite."

"Yes!"

After handing Astartes over to his teammates, Slazov kicked open the door to the Chancellor's residence.

The gate flew into the courtyard in an instant.

Cool!

That Imperium Vermin, he's wanted to do this for ages!

As for Malcador now, he's just finished packing all the supplies he needs for his vacation.

But when they saw Han Mingxuan rushing in with a group of people, something seemed off.

"Old Han, what's wrong with you...?"

"The Department of Justice Anti-Corruption, and you're on their List, Chancellor Excellency. Please come with us," Han Mingxuan said.

Um???

What's going on?

"Based on the evidence gathered, your crimes are enough to fill a book, Chancellor Excellency. Let's go."

What constitutes the crime I committed?

That's all the blame we're taking for those above us!

"I want to see the Emperor."

"The Emperor will not see you, and I will not let you see the Emperor. I hope you enjoy your Holiday in Terra. Take your time."

Terra?

Holiday?

Huh?

Yes!

Huh??

No, no, that's not right.

Hiss... yeah, that's right.

Old Han!

Although it doesn't have a good reputation, at least I can rest openly and legitimately.

Did he, Malcador, ever care about his reputation?!

Not give a damn about!

"How long are you going to keep me in there?"

"I don't know. You won't get out until your accomplices identify you or confess."

The Holiday has begun!

No time limit!

It's incredibly awesome!

"Okay, I'll go with you. I'll cooperate with the Investigation."

"That's right." Han Mingxuan nodded with a smile and openly led Malcador out.

Those nobles who had been watching the spectacle from the outside now felt somewhat like they were dead.
