Supremacy Games

1481 The Blood Array. I

A couple of days later...

The fallen specters' case had drastically caused one of the largest arrestment spree known in the history of the realm.

Almost all the spirits who purchased fallen specters ended up getting punished by the government depending on the number of hired specters.

Some had gotten away with a slap in the wrist and some ended up losing their entire businesses or even being put into jail for a long period.

As for their fallen specters? They were forcefully retrieved and grouped up in designated areas prepared for them until a cure was found for their conditions.

When the number of fallen specters' captured was announced, everyone was left absolutely stunned as the number was close to passing a couple of millions!

This overwhelming number had caused the law enforcement supreme chief, arbiters, and the high inspectors to receive the biggest backlash possible across the entire realm.

Right now, in the ethereal elder's council, the law enforcement supreme chief was receiving the scolding of a lifetime.

"Under your watchful gaze, the shadows have danced and the forbidden has been whispered. Your sacred duty was to be the guardian of balance, the protector of the divine, yet more than a million poor souls were tainted." Elder Elysium called out, his voice filled with disappointment, "How can you allow this to happen?"

Supreme Chief Alaric, his form seeming smaller in the spotlight, felt every note of their disappointment. He didn't try to defend himself or give out excuses.

He remained silent, taking in their hurtful words, knowing that he deserved what was coming at him.

Luckily, Lord Hades hadn't attended the meeting or his fate would have been much worse than just listening to some scolding.

"Brothers and sisters, I know that I have failed my duties and I will try my best to make amends." Chief Alaric uttered with an icy tone, "Starting with finding the traitor in my department."

Chief Alaric was smart enough to understand that without insider help, it would be near impossible for such a massive criminal operation to go unnoticed.

The rest of the elders weren't too surprised by this as they also thought the same.

"There is no need to look further, I think we already have a main suspect." Elder Kraken shared, "I heard that Inspector Nolvar has been giving Captain Charleson's squad a hard time since the moment they began investigating the fallen organization."
