"Kill every pest that dares to resist!"
The captain of this raid led by the military was angry. He was seething with rage and his red face showed it. He was angry because they have been fighting for the human race, while these young scums had been internally terrorizing the weak.
From murdering the innocent to underage prostitution!
The bullying gangs have engaged in all sorts of criminal activities!
The rest of the military personnel also shared the sa feeling as their squad captain.
Was this what they have been fighting for?
To allow these scums to peacefully profit off of destroying the fragile ntality of the weak?
"Roger that, Sir!"
The rest of the squad replied, and they then proceeded to activate the targeting chanism of their weapons.
Harmless scarlet laser beams shot out from the bullet launchers affixed on their ch shoulders, targeting the students standing around the arena and sitting in the stadium.
"Fuck you! I am the son of assemblyman Song! Do you think a bunch of slaves like you can keep here? Let's see who dares to stop from leaving!" Li Song shrieked at the military personnel before arrogantly stepping towards the exit.
"Do you think we are joking?"
"Huh?"
Bang!
In the next mont, Li Song's head exploded and his limp body dropped to the ground.
The leader of a bullying gang just died!
The students were terrified. Because the military was serious as fuck.
A single movent and the bullet launchers will start firing holes in their bodies, but it won't attack as long as they don't move.
"As long as you kids don't make a move this will be over peacefully." Captain Fei said to reassure them, "Activate the facial recognition mode and Scout out the scums among them,"
"Yes, Sir!" Following his command, the military personnel easily got their hands on all the bullies that infested this school by using the facial recognition system. It was easy to separate the bullies from the innocent.
Because Leonard had provided them information about every single person who was a part of the bullying sche. The military personnel not only had the nas of the victims and assaulter but their database also contained all their personal information.
Plus, as the matter was too big and the higher-ups of the societies were also involved in the cris of purchasing minors for prostitution, human trafficking, slave purchasing, and drug trading, the Earth Federation had to intervene, and Captain Fei squad was not the only one dispatched.
Captain Fei's squad was dispatched to the school to capture the bullies, while the rest of the squads are dispatched to butcher the higher-ups of the Stronghold 69. More specifically, the evildoers of the Stronghold 69.
Earth Federation ruled over 133 Strongholds and these strongholds have been increasing ever since the first war with the otherworldly demonic races, hence the butchering of corrupted higher-ups of a singular stronghold will do them no harm. At most, new families will take up the sport left behind, and it's not like they are slaughtering everyone.
The 39th law of the Earth Federation States that the punishnt for one's sins is borne by only that person and those supporting him. The children shall not bear the punishnt of their father and the opposite is also true. Well, as long as they are innocent.
They will be considered innocent if they weren't aware of their children or parent's wrongdoing. However, they will be labeled as partners in cris if they knew of their criminal activities and chosen to remain silent.
Silence in itself was a cri, and the Earth Federation was gonna punish everyone except for the innocents!
"Marvin Noah, you killed this delusional kid and his followers in the most brutal ways." Captain Fei said with a clap, and he then exclaid, "Damn Kid! You even bashed the head of this beauty."
The big ch picked up Queen's corpse and shook it for a while, and then tossed it aside, and walked towards Marvin, who was weirded out by the captain's eccentric behavior.
"Umm, Sir, but I can't be held responsible for their death. I killed King in a legal deathmatch and the rest of them tried to assassinate . I simply acted in self-defense. How could I have known that they were just too weak and would die under the casual swings of my sword."
Marvin casually replied to prove his innocence.
What boastful words!
"But I like it!" Fei thought.
The Big ch stopped before Marvin, and Fei jumped out of the cockpit.
"Oh, I am not here to hold you responsible for their death. These fools would have died anyway," Fei extended his hand towards Marvin. "My na is Fei and I am a commander of squad 7. Nice to et you."
Fei seed like a young heroic man with the mannerisms of a naughty child. He had this lazy vibe to him that makes others feel comfortable around him. He had blonde ssy hair and blue eyes, wearing a slim-fit military Battle Suit with a black energy source fitted inside the energy reactor attached in the middle of the suit.
"Nice to et you too." Marvin shook Fei's hand, slightly confused.
"Alright, so I got sothing important to give you." Saying that he sat back on his ch.
"What important thing?"
"Follow and you will find out." Captain Fei mysteriously said before taking Marvin to a secret hideout of squad 7.

Secret Hideout of Squad 7!
"Leonard, Jayden, and I suppose you are Zero, why are you guys here too?" Marvin asked.
"Sa reason as you. I and Zero are here to accept our rewards for helping the secret agent complete his mission." Jayden replied, exposing part of the remaining truth to Marvin.
'What secret mission? What secret agent?' Marvin wondered.
"That one in the middle is my little brother. He is only 23 years old but is already a highly admired secret agent." Fei said with pride while pointing at Leonard.
Bullshit!
It was probably only his brother who admires him. Because he was a secret agent and barely anyone knew of his existence.
'So Leonard is the secret agent.' Marvin ca to an understanding that Leonard was a secret agent of squad 7 and he had infiltrated the school to work on a mission.
"Brother, you can leave us," Leonard said with a deadpan face. His personal secret was in danger of being exposed if his bro-con brother remains in this place.
"Okay, okay, I will go get the rewards for your hard work," Fei said before stepping out of the room.
After Fei left, Marvin and the student council mbers were left in the room.
"I guess it's ti to make it clear. I accepted the mission to infiltrate the school for ability users in the lower-district of stronghold 69 to gather dirt on the influential families who supported King." Leonard said, "The deeper I investigated the more cris unfold. King didn't stop at school, he was renting out minors and hush money to the officials of the StrongHold 69 and dealing in cris like trafficking, slave, and drug trading with the wealthy people. Zero was my help in this mission and Jayden got involved with because circumstances demanded it."
"Why are you telling this?" Marvin asked.
"To clear my conscious and clarify why we didn't make a move until now," Leonard said, "They would have noticed sothing was off and burned the record, and we needed it to provide Justice to everyone who suffered."
"You did what you had to clear the mission but you were too late." Marvin said with narrowed eyes, "There are a lot of students who were sacrificed because of your incompetence."
Incompetence?
Was it really?
Leonard fell silent. Zero didn't say anything. They both knew what was going on and it was hard to ignore it but they had to. Because they were soldiers and it was their duty to not let their personal feelings get the better of them, and they did what they had done.
Jayden shook his head in refusal to Marvin's claim and continued, "Leonard did what was the best. We did what we thought was the best. We might be incompetent and soone could have done it better. But the record kept by the Queen docunted the nas of everyone who was in league with the King. Without it, how many would have escaped? If soone is to be blad then it should be . It took a lot of ti but I was finally able to infiltrate deep enough and get my hands on the record. If I was faster than King's reign would have ended months ago. It was all my fault!"
Marvin didn't have a word to say.
What was right, what was wrong, it was a hard decision to make.
If Leonard had submitted a report of their cris without securing the details of King's backer and everyone involved in the cri then how many criminals would have escaped?
Similarly, due to the delay, how many were living a life like hell? How many had been killed off?

"I am here to award you for your good deeds in place of the Earth Federation's President." Fei said before handing over a Silver Badge with Golden wings to Marvin, and he then continued by saying, "This is a dal of Honor. You have earned it by helping our undercover agent "Leonard" in baiting the bullies to a single place and keeping them busy."
dal of Honor!
This was a precious treasure!
This was an army dal rewarded to those who made great contributions to the human race. It is created by the most talented craftsman of the Earth Federation by using rare tals and many inscriptions as raw materials.
According to the Earth Federation laws, those who possess the dal of honor would have a position equal to that of a commander, although the dal only provides a status in na, it was still useful in warring ti.
Using this dal, Marvin will be able to request help from the military. He will be able to command a small squad to do his bidding for a while. Also, after enlisting in the military, he will be able to directly ask for the rank of a commander by exchanging this dal of Honor.
"Thanks, Sir!" Marvin accepted the dal of honor with pride.
"This has a lot of other uses, in the world of Calot. This dal will bestow you a status equal to the aristocrats of the empires Allied with the Earth Federation." Captain Fei explained, "You can even use this to request an audience with the Marquises of the empires."
"I understand! Well, then, excuse , I would like to take my leave." Marvin said.
His family is bound to be worried. He needed to be there for them. Moreover, he also needed to check up on Bai Yue and Janna. Janna seed to have hurriedly left to her ho, while he didn't receive any news about Bai Yue's deathmatch.
Did it even take place?
"Your recent actions have attracted the attention of a lot of people. Good and Bad. Information about the recent examination and your too good to be true talent has also spread far and wide." Fei said, "You might get involved in a lot of ss. Without proper backing, it might beco hard to survive. And If you are alone and left with no one by your side, I want you to know that I will be always willing to accept you in my squad."
Marvin shook his head, and confidently said, "I have a lot of peoples who will stay by side, and I don't think I'll be able to leave them behind the walls of the stronghold of the Earth Federation and join the military. Sorry, I won't be considering your offer in this life."
The military was no longer an option. He wanted to spend his life with his wives and family.
Call it being selfish or not, Marvin didn't give a damn!
