Chapter 225 Pleading for Mercy
News that Virtual Universe Company had ordered the Flowing Cloud branch to capture and imprison four immortal gods and 38 realm lords spread like wildfire throughout the Flowing Cloud Universe Kingdom.
The entire Flowing Cloud Universe Kingdom was shaken!
No secrets stay hidden forever, especially such astonishing news. It spread like wildfire, and soon everyone knew that these people had been arrested for committing crimes, and that Su Ke, a member of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, would be their judge.
In no time, Su Ke's name spread widely throughout the Flowing Cloud Universe Kingdom. From the Immortals to the Realm Lords... everyone knew that this trial, which was unprecedented in the history of the entire Universe Kingdom, would be presided over by a Domain Lord. A Domain Lord judging Immortals and Gods? Realm Lords? And a group of them at once? This was such a rare event—countless people were eagerly watching the progress of the event.
In fact, Suk didn't feel relieved after his conversation with the three leaders of the Liuyun branch, because there was an even more crucial figure—Kadileya, one of the eight hundred kings of the Liuyun Universe Kingdom.
She is also the one with the most unique identity that Suk will be judging.
As an immortal deity who is very good at interpersonal relationships, has extensive connections with all parties, and has a wide network of influence, although his strength ranks low among the eight hundred kings and marquises, his influence is very great.
As soon as news of Suk's trial spread, many of the eight hundred kings and marquises of the Flowing Cloud Universe Kingdom took the initiative to seek out Suk and plead for Kadileya's life.
Although the three leaders of the Liuyun branch wield great power, the eight hundred kings and marquises are the real local bullies. Moreover, if the Su family wants to develop in the Liuyun Universe Kingdom in the future, it would not be wise to offend these local bullies.
Although Suk and Eloi didn't really care, it wasn't until an immortal god came to plead for Kadileya.
Skytree Island, the magnificent palace belonging to Eloi, the Inspector General, is no less grand than the palaces of the three giants. In the reception hall, Suk and Eloi looked at the beautiful female immortal deity in a fiery red robe opposite them.
"Sigh, I'm really ashamed to ask Suk and the others for help this time. But Kadileya is my good friend, and I can't just stand by and watch her run into trouble. So I had no choice but to swallow my pride and come to ask her." Qiwu Haiqin sighed, a hint of guilt on her face.
Suk and Eloi nodded. "We understand."
Qi Wu Haiqin was an old acquaintance of Su Ke and his wife. Back when she was in the Jia Lan Empire branch, she personally recruited the two of them. Although it was just an unintentional thing for Qi Wu Haiqin to do to pass the time, her approachable attitude without any airs made the two of them feel very good. Moreover, Qi Wu Haiqin had also helped them before.
"We're old friends, so let's cut to the chase and be frank," Qi Wu Haiqin said, her expression turning serious. "Besides my own wishes, I've also brought a request from Kadileya. If you, Suke, are willing to show leniency during the trial and let her go, she will pay the price, which I'm sure will satisfy you."
"Is this a bribe?" Suk smiled helplessly.
Qi Wu Haiqin replied, "Of course not, it's just a small gift of gratitude for your leniency..." She said helplessly, "...Kadirea did make many mistakes, but I think Suk should understand that in the environment of a powerful entity like the Virtual Universe Company, the struggles are incredibly fierce, and many times you are not in control of your own destiny. Sometimes you can't avoid things just because you want to... Kadirea had no choice back then. If she hadn't done certain things, hadn't stepped on others, hadn't been ruthless, and had simply followed the rules, she wouldn't be where she is today."
Suk and Eloi exchanged a glance, remaining silent. Everyone has their own unavoidable circumstances. Perhaps Kadileya also had her own difficulties, but as an "enforcer," Suk naturally had his own stance.
Qiwu Haiqin continued to offer her bargaining chips: "Suker, you can also make your own demands. Whatever you want, as long as it's within your power, I'm sure Kadileya will agree."
Suk remained silent.
After a long conversation, Qi Wu Haiqin, seeing that things had progressed sufficiently, stood up. "Suke, think it over carefully. If you let Kadileya go this time..."
Many people will thank you.
Watching Qiwu Haiqin leave, Suk and Eloi looked at each other in silence.
"This Kadiraya really has a lot of connections," Eloi exclaimed. "We've had over a hundred immortal gods come to us lately, almost all of them pleading for Kadiraya. Now even our old acquaintances have come." She then asked worriedly, "Suker, what do you plan to do with Kadiraya?" She knew her husband valued connections a lot and was in a difficult position lately.
Suk's expression remained calm: "If I were to judge her in the fairest way, the worst outcome for Kadiraya would be 'service in the outer battlefield.' And because she's being punished for her mistakes and sent to the outer battlefield to atone for her crimes, the situation is even worse. She'll likely be assigned to some dangerous missions, which would be extremely dangerous for an immortal god."
The extraterritorial battlefield is a battlefield opened up by the four peak races. It's a game in which billions of races and powerful beings from across the universe have joined. Countless powerful beings have gathered there, and even immortal gods don't know how many have gathered there. Even if a Marquis-level immortal goes there, there is still a risk of death.
Nobody wants to be punished and go there to atone for their sins.
The bottom line in the negotiations between the three giants and Suker was that Suker could not "serve in foreign battlefields".
Kadiraya was also unwilling to risk her life to serve on the battlefield outside the region, so she tried every means to find someone to plead with Suk, exert influence, and even bribe him.
Suk didn't care much about the pressure or the promises of great benefits, but he was someone who valued personal relationships.
That is to say, it is more humane.
As for moral bottom lines, he does have them, but he's more flexible and less rigid.
Unless his bottom line is truly crossed, he will not be unforgivable; otherwise, Suk is generally quite easy to talk to.
Eloi knew her husband well enough to see his expression and understand that he had made up his mind. She asked softly, "So you're planning to give me a lenient sentence?"
Suker glanced at his wife: "The same answer as the Big Three."
Three months later, Suk returned to Liuyun Star in a spaceship.
Liuyun Star, Central Square of Liuyun City.
At this moment, various forces had gathered at Liuyun Square, with thousands of immortal gods present, forming a dense, imposing mass.
The three leaders representing the Cloud Division of the Virtual Universe Corporation and the Inspector Eloi stood together, with rows of immortal gods standing behind them.
The four immortal gods and realm lords who were imprisoned stayed obediently beside them.
time flies.
call.
As a streak of light flashed across the sky, in the blink of an eye, a dark purple, ancient sword-shaped spaceship descended from the sky and landed on the square, instantly drawing countless gazes to it.
With a whoosh, the hatch opened, and a young man dressed in black battle armor with snow-white hair flew out, followed by Qinglian Hou and several realm lords.
"The scene is quite large." Qinglian Hou was surprised to see a large number of immortal powerhouses gathered at the scene.
"It's quite large," Suk nodded, his gaze sweeping across the area before landing on the Liuyun branch, where the criminals to be tried were located.
