Chapter 182: The Ultimate Paradise of Classism! The Taunt Aimed at Player 555

Capital City, also known as Solaris City.

Here is where the arrogant nobles and the wealthy lived.

The ultimate paradise for the people with a medical issue known as "classism".

They thought highly of themselves and looked down on anyone that didn’t have noble blood.

Azure Origin planet, in essence, was a place run on bloodline, backing and connections.

The nobles grew stronger every few years. Sometimes a common citizen would break through the threshold and reach a major rank, surpassing the nobles for a while.

But in the end, they would still succumb to the sheer intensity of the noble bloods.

The commoner might be only one. But in the noble’s rank, there were many.

---

Solaris City, District A, Supreme Royal Court.

The Supreme Royal Court today was more crowded than usual.

Many nobles, important figures, ministers and the royal family itself were present today.

"Hence.... I plead my case. Your honor." The lawyer of the trial goer spoke to the King, Solaris the Fourth.

Hearing the lawyer, Solaris the Fourth smiled indifferently as he looked at the trial goer.

"It’s a pity." He spoke as he looked at the trial goer.

He was a player that took down many noble players. He looked less than 20 and had youth in his eyes.

"Why do some common people like you have to come around every once in a while offending the nobles? I really don’t understand."

The player shivered hearing him speak, not daring to say anything.

But, his eyes were still full of determination.

He killed them for the sake of his younger sister that was killed by the young master of the Ettrick family.

He looked at the Ettrick family that were looking back at him with arrogant evil smiles on their faces.

The media was by the side, looking at him with an indifferent expression as well.

No one in this room was on his side. Even the media. They could clearly see the Ettrick family mocking him. Did they do anything?

No.

Because nothing in this kingdom was actually free. The media was controlled by the royals, and having the royals as your backing was the ultimate protection.

On the sides, the black lightning guild was present. There sat Marco, Victor and Lena, and beside them was Llyod Ashborn, Lena’s and Marco’s father.

"The trial after this is your father’s, Lena." Victor spoke with a smile as he affectionately held Lena in his embrace, all while Marco and Llyod were watching.

But they didn’t say anything.

He was their ticket to getting themselves out of this situation here.

Lena sat in his embrace with an uncomfortable look on her face.

"Yes." She gave a short robotic reply to Victor, who was dead set on embarrassing her in public.

She was cursing him madly in her heart. But she couldn’t say anything.

If she did, her father’s life would be at stake.

Just then, High Constable Theodore came towards their side.

"Everything is settled. Now we just need to deal with that man." High Constable spoke as he eyed an old man who sat in a chair with a calm look on his face.

The aura he radiated was unmistakable. It was none other than Old Man Welt.

"How annoying." Marco clicked his tongue as he eyed Welt with venom.

This man had tried to kill him once, and he was here, trying to ruin everything for them again.

Marco never wanted someone to lose and fail more than he wanted to see Welt lose and fail.

Just then, the King spoke up again.

"Alright. I have decided." The Solaris king said with a bored look on his face.

"According to the Noble Act 513. Anyone that kills a noble will be denounced for a public execution."

No one made a sound hearing this, they all kept a calm face. The player’s shoulders began to shake uncontrollably hearing this.

It was clear to everyone that not even the lawyer that tried to defend this man was on his side.

However, just then, Old Man Welt stood up.

"I don’t agree with this."

The instant he spoke, everyone’s heads turned towards him.

"Oh?" Solaris the Fourth looked at Welt in interest.

"And why do you say that, Mr. Welt?" Solaris the Fourth asked calmly. "Do you object to the way the royals handle things in here?"

"This is my kingdom. No one except me has the authority to have a say here." The king declared his sovereignty to Old Man Welt.

Welt looked at the Solaris King sharply.

"That man. One of the men of the Player association has investigated him before. He killed the young master of the Ettrick family because his little sister was brutally bullied and killed by him."

"Under the player protection act. The player can act against anyone who has harmed them or their family in the name of self defense. It doesn’t matter if the party is a noble or not."

"The Player association’s rules also have to be obeyed. Solaris from the house of Harvick." Old Man Welt concluded with a calm look on his face. "You don’t want the central plains to get involved, do you?"

Solaris the Fourth merely sneered hearing this.

"The player association. What can they do to the Holy Church? You are not the only one with a backing. Chairman Welt. Don’t forget that." He added domineeringly. "The Holy Church will arrive here at my call. Do you want to see for yourself?"

"And when that happens, the man in the central plains, the sole crown-rank that acts as the pillar of the player association won’t be able to arrive in time, because he would be drowning in paperwork as we speak."

"How I pity the player’s association." Solaris let out an evil grin.

Lena’s eyes flashed with a glint when she heard this.

The Holy Church. She had been in contact with them for a while. She learnt of them through Victor, and they valued her talent. But Victor was still her superior in the church. She had found a new person to latch herself onto it, someone who was one of the most important person in the church. Except this time, the man found her himself and she acted in secret, visiting him often to keep him company.

She was waiting for that opportunity to completely ditch Victor forever, and after that, the new man and then pursue her love, Kevin. The thought of him was the one thing that kept her sane while she sat trapped in Victor’s arms. Kevin, who never looked down on her. Kevin, who she would belong to once she got herself free of all these men.

Then, the king turned to the media.

"In fact, we are going to do a live execution of this player right now. And I want the whole kingdom to watch."

The media team immediately took action as they began streaming the royal trial.

The views amassed into the thousands within seconds.

Once the stream was live, Solaris looked directly into the camera with a cold grin.

"There is a bastard going around killing my kids in the domain. Player 555. I want to let him know that messing with the royals will have consequences."

"In the end, he is just a coward that likes hiding."

Every other noble burst out laughing hearing this.

They all hated Player 555 equally.

The execution of the player and the taunt aimed at Player 555 were now one and the same. A single broadcast meant to put both the commoners and that hidden monster in their place.

However, just then, the door to the trial room abruptly opened.

Hearing the door opening, especially at the time a trial was ongoing, everyone turned to the door in unison.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The following instant, they all saw a young man who looked less than 20 years old, wearing casual clothing unfitting of a noble, entering the room casually with his hands in his pockets.

Seeing him, the expressions of some people began to change.

Lena, Marco and Llyod all stood up in unison.

"Caelus!"

They all called out, along with Old Man Welt.

"Yo." Caelus smiled as he greeted them. "Looks like I’m just in time."
