Chapter 303: Compensation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Winterfell had encountered another historical disaster.
The rchant Alliance investigated Samael’s invasion from the beginning to the end and obtained Andrew’s voluntary explanation. He had recovered from the petrification, and the truth was unraveled.
Andrew was a pawn in Samael’s plan. Samael’s main aim was to accumulate enough power from Michelangelo’s relic to manifest his body from the Spirit World to the Underworld.
His sinister plan was wrecked by the brave Lord Sherlock and his courageous warriors.
What about the trial of Samael?
The rchant Alliance didn’t have such power. After discussing the matter and filing complaints with the Devil Managent Committee, the rchant Alliance planned to stage protests and objections to the Spirit World.
Devil Kings were also Devils, and they needed to earn a living. They couldn’t possibly turn a blind eye to these protests. Not all Devil Kings were obsessed with conquering the world and attacking the Heavenly Kingdom.
For example, Lucifer was more cultured and responsible. He was the role model for the Devil Kings.
After receiving the strong protests from the rchant Alliance, Lucifer investigated the incident. He had afternoon tea with Samael and then sent a Hades envoy to the rchant Alliance.
After so discussion, they ca to a resolution.
“We’ll release all of the souls of the Winterfell residents who perished in this incident. They can go ho without worry. For humanitarian reasons, we’ll compensate each family with 20 Magic Stones for their ntal anguish.”
The “Grim Reaper”, who was wearing a black hood, reported to a circle of Winterfell senior managers, a rchant Alliance special envoy, reporters, and Lord Sherlock.
“We’re thankful for Satan’s concern for Winterfell. We know this was purely an accident.”
As Dungeon Lord Andrew was imprisoned, Baron Nicholas beca the steward of Winterfell. He was an old friend of Sherlock.
“What about the losses of Eternal Kingdom...”
Nicholas gestured politely at Sherlock, while Sherlock nodded courteously at the Grim Reaper in acknowledgnt.
“Please provide a detailed account of the casualties...” the Grim Reaper said as he tapped on the table.
“100,000 casualties.”
“Wh... what?”
“I said, 100,000 dead.”
Sherlock calmly took out a thick report. There were a few photographs that depicted the grueso deaths of the gars. In consideration of the effects on the public, the critical areas were covered by mosaics.
The reporters picked up their Mana devices and snapped pictures in a frenzy.
Sherlock pointed at the report and said, “Take a look. We are speaking with data. When Eternal Kingdom discovered sothing was amiss, we hurried to Winterfell imdiately. I won’t elaborate on the events. We tried to protect Winterfell, but we weren’t Samael’s match.”
Sherlock pulled back his sleeves and revealed his lacerated arm. He said, “Besides the stated number of deaths, Samael caused irreversible harm to . The wound penetrated the upper layer of my skin. I went for a professional dical checkup, and the physician recomnded an imdiate amputation. This is my dical report.”
Sherlock placed the report with the label “Fatality Hospital” on the table. Many of the creatures present gasped in astonishnt and pity.
“That’s... unfortunate.”
While the Grim Reaper examined the dical report, Sherlock nodded and said, “I’m quite easy going. I’ll lose an arm at most. However, my servants suffered heavy casualties during the battle. They were all successful professionals with their own families. He is one of them.”
Sherlock picked up a photograph that depicted a double Dagger Gno with a broken neck, who was lying dead on the ground. Sherlock continued explaining, “His alias was ChestHair. He was the bravest warrior in Eternal Kingdom. He is survived by 2 mothers and fathers, 30 brothers and sisters, and 4 pairs of grandfathers and grandmothers. He also left behind 50 children. Now his family has lost a grandson, a son, a husband, and a father. All of this was caused by Samael. I’m not blaming Samael or objecting to the Spirit World’s system of the Devil Kings. I know that this system has been in effect for millions of years, and I can’t deny the contributions of the seven Devil Kings to society. However, in my Dungeon, there are 100,000 cases similar to that of ChestHair. They have to obtain compensation.”
“Hades will release their souls...”
Sherlock interrupted the Grim Reaper and said, “Apologies, their souls were destroyed by Samael using a special thod. They are permanently dead. I managed to record a precious video before they passed on. It will be sufficient to explain everything.”
Sherlock took out a round Adamantine rock and showed the images within. Thousands of gars perished in the battle, and nurous gars rushed out from the Teleport Portal and charged onto the battlefield.
Samael was grabbing BurningChestHair’s throat, strangling him to his death.
The images stopped. Sherlock was shedding tears upon seeing the vicious bloodbath.
The situation beca extrely awkward.
“I understand. I’ll go back and do a detailed study. I’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”
The Grim Reaper nodded.
“Let’s move on to the next topic...” Nicholas said.
...
When Sherlock walked out of the Conference Hall, he saw a carriage stopping by the roadside.
The door of the carriage opened, and a Hamster peered out. He waved at Sherlock.
Sherlock walked over and got inside the carriage.
The Hamster closed the carriage door.
Lilo was sitting in the carriage. She was wearing a detailed and intricate floral lace skirt, and her hands were covered with lace gloves.
“Can I take a look at that precious pearl? You said that it was the key to conquering the Heavenly Kingdom,” Lilo said.
