Chapter 209: The Iron Fist of Justice
Seeing the chaotic refugees being arranged in an orderly manner, Jifan couldn’t help but be impressed.
"The efficy of the territory is getting higher and higher..."
"I still remember when we first arrived, it feels like it was just yesterday..."
Tom, after letting out a satisfied belch, interrupted Jifan’s memories. The tter gave a silly smile and said:
"As long as we’re eatier aer, that’s enough."
With a bright smile on his face, Jifan slowly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the shelter, speaking in a firm tone:
"So, in order for us to live better iure, and for our loved oo live better as well."
"We must work hard to elimihese pests that endahe territory!"
Tom nodded without hesitation, treasuring everything they had now, and replied in full agreement:
"That’s right, we o catch them and root them out!"
Watg their bad-forth, Little Jixiang showed a faint smile and couldn’t help but ask curiously:
"What kind of pests are they? And how do they harm the territory?"
Upon arriving at the heavily guarded shelter’s entrance, Jifan first had his sister and the other children stand properly, then spoke to them early:
"Pests are the people, things, as that want to destroy our current good life."
"Like the person you’re all about to see!"
Uhe gaze of hundreds of fused eyes, Jifan sighe prepared soldiers to start their work.
The shelter’s door slowly opened, and out walked a burly, fierce-looking man.
The children, including Little Jixiang, instinctively stepped back, seemingly a bit frightened.
But Jifan calmly took a step forward and, standing before the man who was half a head taller than him, asked him calmly:
"Have you ever killed an i person? Just answer yes or no!"
The fierce-looking man shook his head, his face showing a hint of fear as he replied nervously:
"No!"
The standing behind Jifan made ion. Jifan smiled, nodded, and patted the man on the shoulder, saying:
"You should have memorized the ws of Bay Territory by now. I hope you officially joierritory soon."
The burly man, somewhat fttered, nodded repeatedly and walked out uhe fused gazes of the children.
A waiting staff member outside the door would assess the man’s skills, learning progress, and personal prefereo assign him to a suitable position.
As long as he behaved holy and didn’t break the ws of Bay Territory within three months, he could officially bee a part of it.
The children watg this se mostly just blinked in fusion.
However, the impression was already f in their minds that someone who looks “bad” isn’t necessarily a bad person.
At that moment, a sed person walked out in front of Jifan.
This was a thin, quiet young man, probably no more than 20 years old, eared quite frail.
Jifan calmly asked him the same question:
"Have you ever killed an i person? Just answer yes or no!"
Faced with the same question, the young man showed a bit of unease. After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head and replied:
"No!"
"You’re lying!"
The , which had previously remained motionless, reached out and grabbed him, its loud voice quickly spreading.
The startled young man tried to break free from the ’s grasp.
But his efforts were in vain, and he hurriedly began tue:
"I really haven’t killed an i person!"
However, before he could finish speaking, the stone golem holding him tinued in its muffled voice:
"You’re lying!"
With his hands slightly spread, Jifan turo the somewhat enlightened children and said:
"Did you all see? This kind of scum, who kills is but de and tries tue, is one of the pests!"
The children, who had already experienced many hardships and had even hovered on the brink of life ah, houghtfully.
Then they watched as this pest was thrown into a cage. Jifan tio expin to the children iail:
"He will be sent to the iigatioment, where they will ask him iail who the i person he killed was, where it happened, what the victim looked like, and why."
"After thh questioning, his as will be firmed multiple times."
"Only after being firmed multiple times, will he be sentenced acc to the ws of Bay Territory."
"And finally, he will be executed!"
Seeing the children’s realization, Jifan uood why the lord had goo such lengths te this for them.
The world is just that cruel!
No matter how well they are protected, there could always be slip-ups.
Only by making them uand, see, and witness with their own eyes they grasp the true significe of this.
Jifan had initially thought that sing aeng these scum as among the refugees would make him unfortable.
But when he rooted out each deservi and scum.
Seeing them fa indisputable trial and be rightfully executed under everyone’s gaze, he felt an overwhelming sense of honor and duty.
When he questiohe lord about it, Matthew thought for a moment before telling him early:
"Don’t let personal feelings cloud your judgment. Even if we ’t achieve absolute fairness, we at least strive for openness and justice!"
"By making their crimes known to the world without hiding anything, we have every right to elimihese scum!"
"This is justice; it’s the iron fist that will make Bay Territory strong and prosperous!"
"Anyone who dares defy it will be crushed!"
Thinking of this, Jifa his smile and spoke to the children, who might not fully uand now but surely would iure:
"Justice requires each of us to uand it. It’s not meaningless viole’s the vanguard of order!"
"Remember, justice must never be te, nor it ever be absent!"
Seeing the children’s fused expressions, Jifa even more tent and tinued his work.
Uedly, the refugees who withis se didn’t cause any u. Instead, they felt a straion welling up in their hearts.
Having wahrough hell for so long, they had seen nothing but filth and darkness.
Now, seeing the righteous and dignified iron fist of justice, they felt a strange sense of peace.
Even those who had been tainted by filth willingly accepted all of this!
