Chapter 391 The Trial [Part 2]

"Clever," the dean commented, casually munching on a few pieces of popcorn, "Hey give me some as well," Loid fought along with him, trying to take the bucket of popcorn from him. What was an important decision for the whole settlement had turned into nothing but a television show for them.

Though, it wasn't like they weren't serious but things were going how they assumed them to go, just that there was more drama and it was pretty fun to watch as well.

Along with them, the Oracle also seemed pretty calm, although a few things managed to shock him, nothing was too much out of expectations.

"So he is trying to clear his name, such a clever one. Im sure he is a Vampire," the Oracle commented as he took out a pen and paper and started writing down the names of those whom he was sure were Vampires.

"How so?" Asked the dean, a bit confused as to why the Oracle was so sure about the head of defense because if someone saw it from a normal person's perspective, there was nothing off about him.

"Well, I had a vision and a lot of stuff in it indicated about the head of defense being an enemy and not just that but the only person who felt a bit agitated as the blood was brought inside was the head of defense. He wouldn't have been able to sense anything within that container, until and unless, he was a Vampire and a high ranked one at that," as the Oracle explained, the things in the court room turned silent for a second before the Grand Elder cleared his throat and spoke,

"You may state the reasoning behind your words. After all, you are responsible for the defense of the whole settlement and not just the things that you mentioned, meaning that the other things also come under your preview, just that you didnt find them important enough to keep a strict check and balance," the Grand Elder spoke, his words striking at the head of defense with such ruthlessness that he had little to no means to refute.

In the end, the head of defense fell silent for a few moments and within those moments, the head of disciplinary committee took action,

Taking out a file from his desk, he handed it to the Grand Elder and spoke,

"Your honor, I would like to call a newly recruited member of the defense team responsible for border control,"

"Are you sure?" The Grand Elder asked, "You know that calling any member having a military post is going against the military command as a whole, if your reasoning is false, the command can hold you accountable for various charges as it might damage our defense,"

"Yes your Honor, I am sure of it, please call him in," The head of Disciplinary committee answered, the resolution in his eyes made it sure that he wouldn't bow down to anyone and wasn't afraid of anything.

It made a few shiver as they understood, even if the Grand Elder was neutral, the head of Disciplinary Committee was totally against them and out for their blood.

Soon enough, a man in an official guard uniform walked in. Although he was a newly recruited member, his strength was still formidable and the aura he gave off was immovable, just like that of a mountain.

Looking at him, the head of defense smiled; happy that these people had brought this young man inside. Although all the young ones in the defense department had been turned, this young one was exceptionally talented and had such great will power that he would be able to contain his urges even if he was starved to death.

"Although I don't mind you calling someone of my department, make it known that the defense department doesn't take these things lightly," the head of defense spoke, his voice was stern and everyone understood that the head was clearly giving a stern warning to others.

"Yes i know but the matter is as such that it can't be glossed over," said the head of disciplinary committee as he took out a small necklace from his vest.

The necklace wasn't anything out of the world and looked pretty simple with a beast claw hanging on it. From how it seemed, the claw looked like that of a young beast and was more like a memento to others.

Raising the necklace, he held up the claw in air as everyone clearly took a look at it, "This right here is the concert evidence that this young man over here is a Vampire," saying those words, he handed the necklace to the Grand Elder while various hushed talks started around in the court room.

"Silence!!!" The grand elder commanded as everyone went silent right away.

"You!!!" Suddenly, the head of defense shouted as he spoke, "How dare you accuse a member of my department,"

"What do you mean? And why are you getting so worked up? Im just saying something and if you don't believe me then see me prove it and if I fail, it would only be bad for me and not you. Or are you afraid that you would be found out," the head of disciplinary committee spoke, winking at the head of defense as he walked towards the young man without any fear at all.

His steps were calm and calculated while the expression on his wrinkled face extremely cold, as if he couldn't care less for the well being of the person in front of him.

"Open your mouth," the head of disciplinary committee ordered but the young man refused to move at all. His body stuck stiff as if he had been paralyzed completely, "I said, open your mouth," the head of disciplinary committee shouted, an invisible wave of pressure descending from him.

"Objection, intimidation," The head of defense had just stood up and said those words when the young man suddenly opened his mouth wide open.

Seeing this, the head of defense face palmed himself and sat back down. His expression finally turning to that a slight panic as his mind churned in full gear, trying to think of a solution to his predicament.

On the other hand, the young man's face contorted slightly as everyone saw the necklace in the Grand Elder's hands lift in the air before the little claw attached to it broke from the strings and shot through the air before disappearing into the young man's mouth.

"Here you go," the head of disciplinary committee only said that much before he coldly turned around and sat back on his chair with a cold emotionless smile that clearly conveyed his victory.

As he sat back, the others only had their mouth wide open in shock. Never had they ever thought that such a thing would happen in the settlement and that the Vampires would be able to infiltrate the defensive department but these were the thoughts of only a select few who were still humans and unaware of the truth.

As for the vampires, they felt their bodies feel the visceral fear of being in front of a predator as they looked at the head of disciplinary committee. That man was truly a menace to them and they all felt that if he was left to be as he was, it would only be a matter of time before they were found out an eradicated.

Meanwhile, as others thought about various things, the young man finally closed his mouth as his eyes snapped back to reality.

In the chaos, no one had manage to have a clear look at what had exactly happened which led to the man opening his mouth but the young man clearly felt it, it was the power of superior hierarchy that had ordered him and as a vampire, his body instinctively complied.

"You!!" The young man understood what had happened and raised his finger at the head of disciplinary committee as his fangs grew out of his mouth.

While the man' was trying to imply something, the others only thought of it as an act of aggression and surely, guards approached the man with swift actions and used special devices to capture him.

"Bring him away," the Grand Elder ordered as the man was brought away.
