  “Elder, bad news! Someone broke into the Elders’ Room and took Elder Louise away!”


  The captain of the guards had rushed in. After shouting those words, he turned around and saw Xue Xi. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

  At the door, the other guards also fell to the ground. They did not get beaten up, but this was the natural reaction of their bodies after their special abilities had been stolen.

  The girl’s black hair fluttered as she stood at the door.

  She wasn’t holding Louise captive, but the woman stood beside her and did not move.

  All the elders in the judgment room were stunned.

  At this moment, it was as if they had returned to a few years ago when they watched that youth wreaking havoc in the school.

  Back then, in order to control General Xiang, the school had lost half of its talents, yet they still did not succeed. Instead, he broke through an exit and led Nicholas and the rest to graduate.

  It had been a few years since that time, but until now, the academy’s strength had yet to reach its former peak.

  Was it going to happen again?

  All the elders fell silent. Everyone looked at the Great Elder. He was also the leader with the highest position.

  His name was Zars, and he was wearing a strange robe. His expression was solemn.

  He slowly said, “Xue Xi, you brought Vulture here to be judged. Are you planning to betray us now? Are you planning to disregard the entire esper association? Or is China planning to leave it? You’d better explain it clearly in front of the representatives of the various countries.”


  Xue Xi lowered her eyes. “China has never thought of defecting, and neither have I.”


  Her voice was cold as she looked past the representatives sent by the various countries to monitor the trial. “I just want an explanation.”


  The Great Elder looked at Louise warily. “What explanation? Vulture is the leader of the Superhuman Organization. All these years, the Superhuman Organization has not only caused harm to China but also to all the countries around the world. Isn’t this the truth? Do you still want to defend him? Or is it that you think our judgment is false and you can’t let the matter go?”


  Xue Xi sneered. “Then let me ask you, is Vulture really a bad person by nature?”


  The Great Elder narrowed his eyes. “The defense lawyer has already told us about Vulture’s history, but! Even if he was abused when he was young, this is not a reason for him to abuse others! All murderers have their reasons. Can they be exempted from their crimes?”


  This sentence came from the highest moral ground.

  All the representatives also expressed their thoughts:

  “That’s right. Vulture is indeed a bad person. We all feel regret about his past experience, but he’s the leader of an organization that has killed so many people. If he’s not killed, what’s the point of the esper laws?”


  There were also family members of those persecuted by the Superhuman Organization who came to listen. They cried and shouted, “The Superhuman Organization killed my parents. What did my parents do wrong?! Even if they really did something wrong, it should have been the law that had suppressed them. They should not have been killed in private!”


  “My child died in an explosion caused by Vulture. He was only five. What did he do wrong? What could he have done wrong?”


  “Vulture must be punished!”


  Everyone was agitated and spoke one after another. Soon, everyone felt that they could not hold it in.

  Ye Lai also turned to look at Xue Xi. “Xixi, I’ve done many things wrong. I’m willing to accept punishment. All of this is my own fault…… You don’t have to say anything more.”
