Chapter 543 Over to the court.



Chapter 543 Over to the court.

With everyone present, Emperor Cinder gestured for the council meeting to begin.

“What is the update on the death of the Lieutenant Colonel?” Jaeger Nyx asked with a stoic expression.

Although the Lieutenant Colonel rank was not that important in their eyes, the murder of one was not only an insult to the Synder empire, but it was also a threat to other officials. That was why the matter had to be looked into by the Council.

“The Ash Corps haven’t found any new clue of the killer’s identity or whereabouts, but Colonel Darius was able to uncover this footage.” Prince Bryon played the images Darius had seen when he used the Beholder.

“From the video, it is clear that the killer wanted the Colonel to see only these parts, meaning that he or she is at the Battle Angel realm.” Jaeger said as they all frowned while watching the footage.

Everyone in the room was at the Battle Angel realm, so they were all aware of how serious the matter was.

“It is clear that the Ash Corps won’t be able to find the killer at this rate. So, I suggest we vote to send in members of our families to carry out the investigation.” Prince Bryon said.

“Agreed.”

“Agreed.”

“Agreed.”

Once they had all voted, they turned to the silent Emperor who gave them a nod of approval.

“Out of all the Battle Angels alive, there are only a few on Infinite realm that there whereabouts are unknown, but I still don’t see why any of them would want to go against the Empire.” Jaeger Nyx said without a change in expression.

“That guy fits the criteria. Not only is he and his group’s whereabouts unknown, but he is crazy and unpredictable.” Cedric Blackthorn said.

“I agree, but something feels off.” Jaeger shook his head as he continued. “Top-tier assassins don’t make a move without a motive, especially for someone at his level. So him going after a Lieutenant Colonel from an unknown noble family is highly unlikely.”

“True, but what if the killer’s motive was the Major and not Lieutenant Colonel.” Aurelius Frostborne finally spoke up.

“That is ridiculous. Not only is the Major at the Hero realm, but he is also a commoner. Tell me, how can someone like that come in contact with a Battle Angel?” Prince Bryon was calm on the outside but was boiling within.

“There are a lot of possibilities that is why we should detain him till the case is over.” Aurelius Frostborne said while staring at Prince Bryon.

“The chances of him having nothing to do with this is even higher since we haven’t found anything incriminating so far. Besides, he is one the few Specials Ops Majors in the East, so keeping him locked up will only lead to unsolved cases and problems in the region.” Prince Bryon retorted.

“Releasing him without bringing the killer to book or even figuring out the killer’s identity would turn us into laughing stock, and will give others the confidence to try their luck. So instead of making everyone think that we don’t have a clue of what we are doing, it is best to keep him detained till further notice.” Cedric said.

“Why don’t we end this argument with a vote? Those in favor of keeping the Major detained say I, while those against say nay.” Aurelius smirked as his gaze didn’t leave Bryon.

“I” Aurelius was the first to vote.

“I” Cedric was the second.

“Nay” Byron was the third with a frown on his face. 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.

“Nay” Jaeger was the last, but his vote shocked the rest of the rest including Bryon.

When it came to the fight between the noble and commoner factions in the council, it was Aurelius Frostborne and Cedric Blackthorn against Prince Bryon. Jaeger Nyx on the other hand was not part of the conflict because he was lazy and didn’t care about things like these. So he would usually vote for the less stressful path.

Aurelius always took advantage of this to win, that was why everyone was shocked to see Jaeger vote in favor of the commoners.

Seeing that it was a tie, they all turned to Emperor Cinder for the final decision, but he refused to vote.

“This means that the court will be the one to decide.” Aurelius said with a huge grin.

The council had absolute authority, but in the case where a decision couldn’t be made, they would have to turn to the court. The good thing about this was that the court was just especially in high profile cases, so the only thing that was worrying was how long the case was going to be delayed.

‘This is not a total loss, I was able to save him from being detained indefinitely. All I have to do now is make sure that they don’t plant anything to incriminate him.’ Prince Bryon thought.

2 weeks later.

Right from the day Blake had been detained, he had been putting his entire time into figuring out the concept of the space element. missing.

Everything had remained at a bottleneck until he recently turned to his knowledge of physics.

It first started with the simple definition of matter, stating that matter was anything that had weight and occupied space.

From Blake’s understanding of the last part, it meant that for anything to exist, it had to occupy space, thus making space the platform or container for all existence.

Once he had understood this, Blake began looking into the effects of things on space, this brought him to one of the most essential things, gravity.

According to one of the college lecture videos on gravity he had watched back on Earth, gravity was one of the few things that could directly affect space. It was the reason planets rotated around the sun, and if gravity was too much at a particular location it could lead to the formation of a black hole.

Understanding the concept of space and the effects of gravity on it was very helpful but Blake felt that there was still something missing.
