Chapter 1209: Chapter 14 Ro is Dood, Just Wait for Death_3
The Law Enforcent Officer quickly smiled and politely declined, then dared not stay any longer, having his Roman soldiers escort the disheveled noblewoman and a few unlucky ones with broken bones on the ground, quickly leaving the scene.
Watching the team leave in a cloud of dust, Astraea couldn’t help but mutter:
“Why do the rules of Ro keep changing?”
“That’s because I intervened, otherwise, you’d be spending the night in jail.”
Luo En cast a sideways glance at Astraea, revealing the truth with a tone of mock annoyance.
Before the two could continue their discussion, an elderly man couldn’t hold back and stepped forward to remind them:
“You two should stop talking and take this chance to escape from the city before night falls!”
“Why?” Astraea was a bit puzzled.
“You’ve just offended people from the Claudius family! In front of everyone earlier, they couldn’t make a move, but co nightfall, you’re going to be in trouble.”
“Didn’t the Law Enforcent Officer already arrest them?”
“Law Enforcent Officer? They’re just hunting dogs kept by those Divine Blood Nobles; how would they stand up for us common folks, let alone truly offend big figures from the Claudius family?”
The old man spat on the ground with resentnt, seemingly having deep feelings about it.
The surrounding crowds also started chattering, either accusing the Divine Blood Nobles in the city of their nurous cris or advising the two to leave quickly to avoid getting into trouble.
Astraea grew angrier the more she listened, involuntarily looking at Luo En beside her:
“With such outrageous things happening, don’t you care about it?”
“I want to, but I simply don’t have the energy.”
Luo En shook his head helplessly, then looked expectantly at Astraea,
“But with you here, it could be different.”
“You want to help you with the work?” Astraea instantly beca wary, her instincts telling her that this was no good task.
“It’s about upholding justice! There’s just a lack of a qualified Chief Justice here, and I’m planning to let you take the position.”
“No way!”
Astraea shook her head repeatedly in refusal and turned towards the City Gate, wanting to slip away.
She didn’t like being constrained.
Besides, this is Ro’s matter. What does it have to do with her?
“Ah, this city is now full of sin; the justice system is abused, and justice is long absent. Soone, as a devoted disciple of Themis and the Goddess of Justice, is actually evading responsibility and letting these evils occur. How is that any different from a criminal?”
Luo En sighed theatrically, finally lanting with deep regret,
“Seems like there’s no saving Ro…”
“Stop!”
Unable to listen any longer, Astraea turned around, looked at Luo En with frustration, and complained:
“How can it be as exaggerated as you say? This is Ro, the capital of a Divine Era! How can law and order be so corrupt beyond redemption?”
“You don’t believe ? Why don’t we make a bet?”
“Bet on what?”
“If the woman taken away by the Law Enforcent Officer returns tonight, unhard and still dares to co for revenge…”
“Then I’ll beat them so they’ll be searching for their teeth on the ground!”
“And you’ll have to agree to serve as Ro’s Chief Justice, to uphold judiciary and justice for this country.”
“Deal!”
Astraea clapped hands with Luo En straightforwardly, pledging a promise.
She really couldn’t believe that the atmosphere of a city could reach such lawlessness!
Watching this Miss Justice swagger into the courtyard waiting for nightfall, Luo En wore a playful smile.
The Goddess of Justice may understand the law very well, but not necessarily Ro.
The Roman Empire is perceived as the fourth beast ntioned in the Daniel Book, symbolizing the world’s last universal kingdom. anwhile, Ro is considered in Christian history as the successor of the Anti-Christ prophesied in both the Daniel Book and Revelation, also known as the Sin City.
Debauchery, indulgence, defiance of law, abuse of penalty… for this complexly composed big city, it can be said to be an excellent inheritance.
Moreover, the woman taken away just now isn’t soone easy to deal with either.
And that re Law Enforcent Officer wouldn’t dare to offend that woman.
After all, she is the current Roman Emperor Claudius I’s queen, Nero’s nominal mother.
In the face of power, the law appears so pale.
And after suffering such great humiliation, what she will do when she cos out is imaginable.
So, don’t let down—little Agrippina…
Luo En stretched lazily, muttering as he walked into the courtyard.
