Chapter 169 Punishment!

The ten men and women standing in the same row alongside the Vice-Chancellor Kuppo were all the decision-makers of the Blue Lagoon Unit. They were the 10 councilors of the Blue Lagoon's Punishment department. Among them, three were women, and except for the beautiful, middle-aged-looking voluptuous lady councilor named Sia Vergil, others were the members of the Four Noble Families.

"Vice-Chancellor, I think it's time," said Sia Vergil elegantly.

The other nine members also nodded their heads in agreement.

Vice-Chancellor Kuppo stepped forward and looked down, glancing around the masses with a smile and he began the speech, "Good Morning, my brothers and sisters!"

Soon after, the surrounding area was filled with clapping and cheering from the crowd.

Kappo raised his hand in the area, causing everyone to silence their mouths in a state of tranquility.

He continued his speech: "Everyone, it's a beautiful day and some of you have already known about the reason for ringing my Elite Union Tower bell once again…. Aight, let me remind the reason once again for everyone. Today, we're going to do the trial of the Truth Of Banishment Gang in public and punishment included."

After pausing for seconds as he gazed his eyes around the crowd, Kuppo continued, "Before that I requested Agent Loki Bradworth, who aprehended them, to step up on the podium."

Clap! Clap!....

Following that, the crowd clapped and whistled, and everyone lauded the name Loki on top of their lunge.

Senior Officer Flint padded on Bobby's back and said with a jovial smile, "Told you... Your presence would be required here. Hee-hee. City Master, what're you waiting for?"

Bobby responded with a friendly smile, and he jumped up in the air, spread his wings, and landed on the floor of the podium, folding his wings.

Following this, he saluted 11 high-profile people by thumping his fist on his chest.

Only Vice-Chancellor Kuppo and the middle-aged-looking voluptuous lady councilor named Sia Vergil saluted back at him while the remaining nine councilors stood like stone statues as they glared at Bobby.

Vice-Chancellor Kuppo shouted, "Now, bring out those scums here!"

A group of guards then pushed fourteen male angels, who were chained heavily out of the entrance.

After that, an uproar ensued around the surroundings, as the crowd began cussing and booing at the fourteen criminals.

Vice-Chancellor Kuppo continued, adding a bit of his Angelic Grace Energy in his voice. "Now, let's start their trials…. As y'all folks have already been aware of them, the Truth Of Banishment Gangs. Faf,...." He recited their names first, then their former lives about their ranks and level of their Angelic Grace energy Purity level and the amounts of concentration in their bodies before they went rogue.

Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a long piece of paper and began reading out which were the lists of the crimes they had committed in the territories of the Blue Lagoon Unit and there were even names of crimes they had committed even in the Black Lagoon Unit's territories.

It took over three minutes to read out their series of crimes, which included mostly looting and gruesome killing of an entire community, a village, and even many arsons.

"Alright, these were even considered some petty crimes, considering the one I'm about to read out now." Vice-Chancellor Kuppo announced with a serious tone. "Well, a few weeks before, these 14 scum bags entered ?our territories and the first thing they did was massacre an entire city, killing every city dweller without even sparing weak kids and women and even old folks.

And they ransacked everything in Cantoon City. The last but not the least crime was, they went to the Arid Archipelago Island, even courageous enough to kill a whole 17th battalion army and then instead of running away; they cooped inside the island and continued killing multiple numbers of Elite our headquarters sent to investigate on the island. And thank goodness, our good friend, a Nobleman Loki Bradworth, accepted the mission and could overpower and apprehend all of them single-handedly."

Suddenly, the tones of the crowd also changed from cussing to cheering.

,m After pausing, he bellowed, "For those heinous crimes, it's pretty clear they should be killed by pelting with the black Power stones in public. What did you think?"

Then the crowd went crazy as they cried out in the agreement. Yes, this was one culture of Angel in this Exoplanet that had been practiced since the colonization of this planet. So, everyone was excited when Kuppo announced it.

"Well, it's decided then. Then I hereby announce their final verdict, which is, they are all sentenced to death by pelting black power stone." Kuppo announced as his voice chimed in the surroundings.

He then glanced at the entrance of the Elite Union's building and called out, "Officer Shiko and his teams get ready to install the required 14 poles on the ground."

Captain Shiko, now an officer in the Elite Union, came out along with another 13 officers from inside the building. Each of them carried a crossed pole on their soldiers.

They approached the center of the crowd as everyone gave way to them. After a few minutes, they installed fourteen poles on the ground.

When the fourteen were about to be brought toward the crosses, suddenly a voice halted them. "Wait! The trial's not over yet." It was a councilor from the Tempest family.

"Hanzo Tempest, what's the meaning of this?... If you have something to add? Shoot it out." Vice-Chancellor Kuppo said, with annoyance.

"My dear friend, I don't mean any offense here…. But a trial is a trial. And we, ten here, are in our right to decide the course of this trial. Hee-hee-hee, am I wrong? After all, we ten are the senior members of the Blue Lagoon's Punishment department." Hanzo Tempest addressed skillfully.

"Well, stop wasting time, then. Everyone here is all busy people. Don't keep them waiting." Vice-Chancellor Kuppo replied as he cursed the goatee beard angel in his head: 'You sly fox! Let's see what you're cooking up this time.'
