Chapter 143 Turning Hands to Create Clouds and Rain
The spying of several Soma clan members.
How could Roy not notice? He grinned, at the defeated opponent from that night.
You little punks, you think I can't handle you?
Court review initiated!
Have you ever killed anyone?
"What have you done to earn money?"
Have you ever bullied the residents of Orario?
The bad apples in the clan must be eliminated; in this world, this is an easy task.
You can't lie before the gods. So they called all the members of the clan over one by one for questioning. After a few questions, they stripped them bare.
Soma initially disagreed with this approach, feeling uneasy about doubting his own child.
But upon learning of the heinous crimes these people had committed—smuggling, murder, arson, fraud, rape, kidnapping, and all sorts of evil deeds—Somo was furious and wished he could draw his sword and kill these scoundrels on the spot.
Soma was utterly exhausted. This was his own clan? It was utterly ridiculous. They were even worse than the dark factions, only they hadn't been discovered yet.
This was only exposed during this major investigation.
Roy and Lily were recording the cases. Members with serious crimes were handed over to the Ganesha Familia for processing; those who deserved to be executed were executed, and those who deserved to be imprisoned were imprisoned.
Those whose crimes are relatively minor and who have not committed murder will be stripped of their privileges and exiled outside Orario.
As for those who try to lie and take advantage of the situation, needless to say, they should be stripped of their favors, handed over, or exiled without any mercy. If they have nothing to hide, why would they lie?
It must be said that this 100% accurate lie detector from the gods is of immense help in the trial of cases.
However, this process was not without its unexpected twists and turns.
Several cadres led three or four hundred family members, fully armed, and marched over in a grand procession.
Lily's expression changed; they had indeed arrived.
Roy asked, "What do you want to do?"
These people did not answer Roy.
Instead, they looked at Soma, and one of them said, "Lord Soma, we can't stand it anymore. Do you want to expel everyone from the clan?"
Soma was speechless. Every member of his clan had his divine blood on their backs, and it was painful for him to drive away the children he had personally recruited.
Turning a blind eye to the evil deeds of his clan members was tantamount to indulging his own children. Seeing that Soma was about to soften his stance, Roy said, "It's not that Soma wants to expel everyone, but that some people are colluding with Chanis and committing numerous evils!"
As he spoke, Roy patted the interrogation log. "Don't you know about these people's crimes?"
Whether it's dereliction of duty, condoning wrongdoing, or even collusion, let's choose a charge! Roy presented this choice to the cadres.
The group looked grim; they were, of course, the latter, but how could they admit to something like this?
One of them shouted angrily, "Sprout of Justice! You're a member of the Astra Familia, what right do you have to interfere in the affairs of our Soma Familia? Go back to your Star Court!"
"Go back! Go back!"
"Go back! Go back!"
The Soma clan members behind this person seemed to have received a signal, and they all shouted loudly, showing signs of a possible riot.
Roy stepped forward and approached the man.
"Sprout of Justice, I know you're strong, but what? You still want to attack me in front of everyone?" the man said confidently.
If Roy dares to touch him, he'll immediately lie on the ground and won't get up until he extorts millions of Farley's.
The key is that Roy's use of force and his reckless behavior will be on full display before everyone, and the other party will never be able to control the Soma Familia again.
But Roy's reaction was completely unexpected.
Roy wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he appeared quite amicable. "How could that be? We're all civilized people; fighting and killing isn't good."
Hearing Roy say this, the members of the Soma Familia twitched their lips in disbelief, speechless. You were the one who fought the fiercest and most brutally that night.
"You're right, so come over here and answer a few questions from Somo." Roy agreed with him as he pulled the man to Somo's side.
Have you ever killed anyone?
"What have you done to earn money?"
Have you ever bullied the residents of Orario?
Faced with Soma's three consecutive questions.
The man's expression was grim. "Lord Soma, we are now discussing the important matter of the clan's development."
Soma, however, was unmoved. "Answer me!"
Unsurprisingly, the man was taken away by members of the Ganesha Familia and thrown into a cell where he would never see the light of day again.
Roy smiled and asked, "Is there anyone else who wishes to be questioned by Lord Soma?"
The members of the Soma Familia all took a step back and glared fiercely at Roy. Now that you've pulled out the "Soma" brand lie detector, who would dare to play mind games with you?
A burly, white-faced old man stepped forward and said coldly, "Then shall I also be interrogated by Lord Soma?"
The moment this person appeared, the surroundings fell silent.
Those cadres who had been intimidated by Roy had their hopes rekindled and looked at the old man with burning eyes.
The former leader of the Soma Familia, a half-dwarf, was highly respected for his integrity, uprightness, and hatred of evil. He held great prestige among many members. During the reign of Chanis, he clashed with Chanis multiple times because he disapproved of Chanis's actions.
Unfortunately, the former captain was just a former captain. If he could have defeated Chanis, he wouldn't have been kicked out of the Soma Familia's power circle.
Now that Chanis is dead, many people hope that he will return to take over the power of the clan leader.
This man became everyone's last hope against Roy, and also their sharpest spear.
The half-dwarf elder said in a deep voice, "The seeds of justice are sown. The Soma Familia is not a place for you to act recklessly. Go back to your Star Court and don't come back!"
A hint of worry appeared on Lily's face. She was certain that this person had nothing to do with Chanis's crimes, and it was impossible to bring him down through interrogation.
Roy gave Lily a reassuring look and smiled, "I've heard so much about you. I heard that you single-handedly fought three baby dragons back in the day, and everyone in Orario knows about it."
"Hmph, just some old news!" The half-dwarf said modestly, but proudly raised his chin.
Roy smiled knowingly and said, "Old Commander, Chanis sent you quite a few bottles of divine wine."
"So what? Do you think that the contributions I've made to the clan don't deserve to drink those divine wines?" The half-dwarf admitted directly, his tiger eyes glaring.
"No, no, the senior's achievements are outstanding, a few drops of divine wine are nothing to him."
Roy first flattered the other party, then changed the subject and took out an account book from his satchel. "But I have a Chanis account book. In the past four years, Chanis has sent you at least ten catties of divine wine every month, sometimes up to twenty catties."
When Roy secretly bought the divine liquor, he saw Chanis's slush fund, and the most important thing inside was the ledger of the stolen money.
No matter how much people lie and conceal, the whereabouts of the embezzled funds will not lie. Once you have this ledger, it will be clear at a glance who Chanis is colluding with.
As expected, Roy's words immediately caused an uproar within the Soma Familia.
One cannot lie before the gods. Since Soma did not speak, then what Roy said is true.
The members of the clan who had originally supported the half-dwarf elder turned ashen-faced, a huge sense of imbalance welling up inside them.
They work hard outside, using every means to make money, but they can only drink a dozen milliliters of the divine wine each month. The half-dwarf old man has retired and lies at home, but he can easily obtain more than ten kilograms of the divine wine.
How can anyone accept such a comparison!
A flicker of unease crossed the half-dwarf leader's face, but he remained defiant, "So what? I haven't done anything for Chanis!"
Now that things had come to this, Roy dropped the pretense and sneered, "You really didn't do anything for Chanis; you just 'did nothing,' watching Chanis ruin the clan like this!"
Everyone suddenly realized that the half-dwarf elder had clashed with Chanis many times, but in the end, it was all bark and no bite; it turned out that the two of them were putting on a show!
That old man has been bought off long ago!
