Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
-------------
Only a day was left before the next major challenge and Gustav wanted to ruin the Xionsis chances of partaking but things weren't currently moving in their favour.
Grand Commander Shion was at the forefront of the issue and appeared before the board over four times in the course of the last five days.
The Handlers claimed that there still wasn't any proof that the attack was intentional and Orimon had been repeatedly interrogated and also claimed it wasn't intentional. The fact that he was unable to amass such power on a regular gave the Xionsis something to hold onto.
Grand Commander Shion provided footages of past challenges where Teemee and Glade fought against a couple of them and ended up leaving one of them severely injured. It was brought up to the panel that the severely injured Xionsi participant happened to be the brother of Orimon.
It showed that Orimon had every reason to go after the two. Gustav also joined Grand Commander Shion in providing more footages of where Orimon repeatedly tried to challenge Teemee and Glade.
Everything added up according to the panel but the Xionsis admitted that even if this was to be so, Orimon was still incapable of killing three people with a single attack.
The whole case seemed to be dragging on as the panel still hadn't come to a conclusion.
On this day, there was going to be another hearing of sorts for the case and Gustav had decided to find an alternative since Axiler was taking time to give a feedback.
Within the same panel hall Gustav was called to during his first scuffle with the Xionsis, two different groups stood to the right and left respectively before the board.
"We have new evidence to provide on how the murderer Orimon knowingly slaughtered two of our own," An MBO officer voiced from the left.
Chatter! Chatter! Chatter!
The Xionsis by the right tried to voice out their displeasure at Orimon's labelling but got shut down by one of the board members.
"Silence! We shall let the earth display their new evidence... the floor is yours,"
Gustav stepped forward with a translucent smooth surfaced circular item which floated in mid air beside him.
"SJ project the footages," Gustav commanded. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com
SJ proceed to emit rays of light that formed a holographic projection of footages.
"Ohhh~"
A look of intrigue could be seen on the faces of the board members as they stared at the footages.
There was a brief silence and due to this the Xionsis got more confidence and stated that the earth was just trying to frame them over a normal piece of jewellery.
"Even if there is no proof that Axiler was the person who sold that item to Premier Shirmin, it is without a doubt that the item is responsible for the murderous attack. The footage proves everything," Grand Commander Shion pointed out.
"Panel leaders, my subordinate only chose to accept a gift from his uncle. When did that become a sin? There is no evidence that the item was bought from the collector known as Axiler neither is there any evidence that also would prove that our representative knowingly used that item to kill his fellow rivals," Captain Illumo spoke as well.
"Even If it is what the captain of earth says it is, it still doesn't prove that Orimon activated it intentionally. The young participant wss completely oblivious," Another one of the Xionsis stated.
"Indeed as the Xionsis have claimed, the evidence provided here is incomplete," One of the panel leaders stated.
"The evidence is right there in front of you... are y'all fucking blind?" Gustav voiced with a cold tone.
"Watch your language earthling!" One of the panel leaders stated with a strong tone of caution.
"As things stand the panel is still unable to decide whether the Xionsis should be completely disqualified or given a strike. However, if they are able to bring forward evidence of the other person in the video being Axiler, the panel will disqualify the Xionsis," Another one of the panel leaders stated.
Earth tried to say a few things to buttress their point and the Xionsis also weren't satisfied with the fact that the only thing needed to get them disqualified was proof of that person being Axiler.
Both parties were unable to change the decision of the panel who decided to give earth more time to gather evidence before they came up with a conclusion.
Both sides were currently tensed due to the present state of things.
"We have to make sure they never get their hands on any evidence to proof that it was Axiler," The Xionsis decided as they stepped out.
"Evidence eh... I will get that," Gustav was a bit disappointed as to how things turned out today but he was sure about getting the evidence.
Although he was unable to stop the Xionsis from participating in tomorrow's challenge, he would definitely get them disqualified before the coming one after tomorrow.
Stark would make sure to get everything prepared for him while he focused on the coming challenge.
'Even if i am unable to get them disqualified now... Should we come into contact with one another... I will make them pay. I will make them wish they had gotten disqualified earlier,' Gustav swore internally as he made his way back to the residential quarters.
The spectators were excited for the next challenge due to the fact that it was the second to the last but Gustav was more interested in it to deal with this bunch.
At the moment the issue of earth's loss had spread and how they wanted the Xionsis disqualified.
Some alien spectators sympathised with them since they lost two potential youngsters in one go while others felt they were doing too much.
The latter mentioned things like, "Earth isn't the first to lose representatives so why are they acting like its a big deal?"
