Chapter 34: Peace
"Help, help us...demon! There's a terrifying demon hidden inside this man!!!"
The underground holding cell wailed at the arrival of the security officers.
"Where's the devil? Isn't this man an 'escapee'?"
Fat Charles was truly stupid, not even realizing what the problem was at such a juncture.
In his eyes, Han Dong was the guy who was making trouble in the detention room... He just wanted to put Han Dong on the spot and earn a performance in front of Sir Knight.
He might even be able to move up to a better department.
As for this Tall Brown. Already saw something.
"Hard to... he really is!"
He had had a similar feeling of dread when he had escorted Han Dong before, and although it was only a fleeting feeling, he remembered clearly the sense of danger Han Dong had given him.
It was then Charles approached Han Dong with a club.
Crack! A slap on the wrist.
Charles was smacked right out of the way.
It was Sheriff Dyess who did the next best thing, followed by him quickly moving forward, taking the initiative to remove the chain cuffs from Hanton's hands, and bowing 90 to apologize!
"Friend Nicholas.
Two of my incompetent subordinates have done such a foolish thing as to threaten national security by forcibly imprisoning a 'trainee knight' without cause, in defiance of the charter.
I'm sending them to the local court for arbitration!
In addition, on behalf of the authorities, I will make amends for you and your family."
Dace was well aware of the seriousness of the matter, and in a situation like the current one, it was the only and best way for him to deal with it, and it was up to the young Valenian's heart to do the rest.
There was a real chance that Dace might be stripped of his sheriff's badge.
Meanwhile, the tall, lanky Brown on the other side had gone completely blind and was shaking slightly, "Return...Returnee. What...what stupid thing have I done."
Having long used to their power to oppress commoners, they were already used to judging people by their appearance... This frail and sickly young man's true identity was actually a trainee knight.
In addition, on behalf of the authorities, I will make amends to you and your family."

Having long used their power to oppress commoners, they were already used to judging people by their appearance... This frail and sickly young man's true identity was actually a trainee knight.
Sitting on the ground while staring with wide eyes, they were completely unable to speak.
As for Charles, who had been slapped away, after learning of Han Dong's identity, he trembled in fear and even suffered incontinence in his lower body.
Han Dong, however, was fine.
Aside from being uncomfortable in the chain cuffs, everything was fine... This was the effect Han Dong wanted, to take the 'advantage' of the local security branch to completely avoid the leak of his identity, and thus be able to dig up more information.
The only thing he hadn't considered was that the highborn knight was here as well.
"Valen, are you alright?"
Han Dong was trying to greet the Barton Knight first, but who knew that the other party would greet him first.
"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding..."
Who knows, the otherwise normal-looking Fergus was suddenly furious.
Removing his black iron mask, he stared at the two peace officers who had committed a felony with a hateful gaze.
"This isn't a misunderstanding... I'm also from a commoner's area, and I know very well how disgusting these cowards and losers who borrowed their jobs instead of attending Destiny Space are.
Using the power of a grain of rice to oppress civilians! Squeeze the civilians!
If it weren't for the Order's strict rule not to kill, I would have beheaded you on the street and hung your corpses for all to see!
No need to be transported to court! I can act as a 'representative' and the trial can take place directly here.
Detaining trainee knights without cause, threatening the very security of humanity, disregarding the Supreme Charter! Maggots like you in the sewers are not worthy of death, and even more despised by all when you die.
Valen, you have the right to take their lives currently."
The knight shook with rage.
This statement scared the entire police staff, the suspects in temporary custody are on their knees... As for the two who committed the crime, they were so scared that they were about to faint.
Barton seemed to be extremely angry.
In reality, he didn't particularly care about this kind of low-level triviality inside.
He was just deliberately stirring emotions and using this incident to understand Nicholas' nature....
This time the entire crowd's attention was focused on Han Dong.
Most of them wished in their hearts that Han Dong would kill these two trash who had detained the trainee knight without any eyesight.
But... Han Dong didn't seem to have any intention of killing them, getting up and walking towards the stairway of the underground detention room, smiling and trying to ease the tension of the scene.
"How bad is it to fight and kill, the human race is already in an important time period of life and death, harmonious development is the most important... I would like to ask, if we follow the normal legal channels, what will be done to them?"
Sheriff Dace answered immediately.
"Once brought before a court of law, those who have violated the Supreme Charter will face three outcomes.
First, to be stripped of all rights and labeled as permanent slaves, either to work in the filthiest of latrines, or to dig in the deepest of mines for eternity.
Second, as human bait to follow the Outriders out of town with them.
Third, the death penalty."
"Harmony, don't move to death. The human base is already small, and everyone should give full play to his social value."
Upon hearing Han Dong say such words, some 'gratitude' actually appeared in Charles and Brown's eyes, thinking that this knight would be merciful and not care about this matter.
Han Dong gave his thoughts, "Hmm, well... I think the first one is quite good, I hope it will make them reform and rehabilitate."
It's possible to rehabilitate them, but they can't go up the mine for the rest of their lives.
Sheriff Dace responded immediately, "I'll make your recommendation to the court!"
He then asked his subordinates to arrest the two offending subordinates and send them to the local court.
"Friend Nicholas, how about we take care of the formalities for you immediately now?
Put your family members in special columns, files will be unlocked, and can be moved out of civilian areas at will! At the same time, your family will no longer be required to enter Destiny Space."
Han Dong said curtly, "Lord Knight Barton seems to be looking for me for something, so you can handle these matters yourselves! If you need to make a decision, just go to my sister Nina."
"Ah yes, we can't delay the Sir knight!" Dace immediately turned to his subordinates, "Someone, quickly invite Miss Nina Valen to come to the precinct, be sure to invite her over politely."
With that, under the eyes of the sheriff and the entire security staff, Han Dong and Knight Barton left through the front door.
Just as Han Dong was about to ask Barton the reason why he was looking for him, he was once again preempted.
Barton said with an indifferent face, "You were perfectly capable of showing your trainee knight card to prove your identity when the two maggots came to your door. Why would you do that on purpose?"
"...Haha." Han Dong laughed a little, as if he also felt that he had done something 'bad'.
"Well... it's just that it's uncomfortable to simply look at these two, as your lordship said, using their tiny powers to bully civilians all year round.
I was planning to go to the Public Security Branch anyway, and being able to settle the two maggots in a normal legal way without hurting everyone's peace, isn't it good?"
Barton nodded slightly, "Sort of know some of the reasons why you passed the four-star novice event... I came this time to satisfy my curiosity.
Your 'intelligence' is not bad, but what is the key to victory?
Can you tell me more about this incident that can scare the temporary suspects held in the Security Bureau to the point of foaming at the mouth, one by one they are as scared and frightened at the sight of you as if they were the devil?"
