My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 50 You Can't Afford Forgiveness

"Steel..." The leader narrowed his eyes, his hawk-like hooked nose twitching as he spoke:
"We are arresting criminals. What do you want to do?"

Steel Lutos' expression was filled with a hint of anger, but more of it was contempt.
"Me? I'll free the criminals!"

He took out a pardon from his bosom and read aloud:

"We, by the sovereign authority vested in us by blood and iron, hereby decree that all charges brought against the said Jules be null and void.

No court, magistrate or official may pursue any further action in this matter and any person who fails to do so will risk being held in contempt of court.

This decree is final and irrevocable and may not be modified by petition or protest.

Signed by: Centipede.

Hearing this strong tone, the three people's expressions became even uglier.

In the end, after hearing the name of the person who signed the letter, the three of them couldn't help but shrink their pupils.

Centipede?!
They had never seen the person corresponding to this code name, but they had heard of his name.

He came from a low-class civilian background, but he seized opportunities time and time again and eventually rose to the top of the Anti-Suppression Bureau!
Maybe he is not the strongest, but he is definitely the one that people least want to mess with in the Anti-Suppression Bureau.

The three of them looked at each other for a few seconds, and then they were silent for a while.
"Since Master Centipede has pardoned him, we will not disturb him any further. Goodbye."

Without staying for long, the three men and their guards quickly left White Thorn Street, leaving Jules and his group watching them go away.

……

"We were completely unprepared for Officer Fite's death," Lutos sighed. "We expected them to resort to despicable tactics, but we never imagined they would be so brutal."

"Although I rushed here as quickly as possible, because I was one step behind them in getting the news, it almost caused a disaster."

Yule pursed his lips and said:

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

His eyes were as calm as the abyss, even a little cold.

Lutos gritted his teeth and said:

"It's the Wellington family, especially the revenge of the man named 'Karl', and their target should be everyone related to you.

However, after receiving news of Officer Fate's accident, Master Centipede mobilized some of his members to secretly follow me and stay here to protect you."

As he said this, the shadow of the window bent slightly, as if to indicate their presence.

Yule was not surprised by Lutos's answer. He raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"So, what does the Suppression Bureau plan to do?"

"This……"

Lutos hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth, sighing:
"We can only follow the procedures and slowly investigate the real culprit behind the murder of Officer Fite. However, the murderer is obviously very skilled and left no trace. It is very likely that this case will remain a cold case."

Yule was silent for a long time, then said softly:
“Why aren’t the Wellingtons held accountable?”

"At least in terms of process, they have nothing to do with this case." Rutos could only sigh.

Hearing this answer, Jules was still not surprised at all. He sneered and said:

"So, even if there's no accountability in this case, what about the previous one? Is the investigation into Rose Manor ending right after it began?"

Lutos didn't even dare to look directly into Yule's sharp eyes. He lowered his head and said:

"You were charged with a crime the same day as the incident. Even if you were pardoned, the investigation process has been interrupted. According to the process, all the investigation results are invalid."

"Also, Carl has been transferred to the sea by the Wellington family. He should have reached the Great Rock Islands by now. Investigations in London cannot trace him to the Great Rock Islands because, although the territories there belong to the Queen,..."

The Stone Islands? Could it be related to Stonehenge? Jules closed his eyes and said:

"Can you tell me where that place is?"

"This is no secret. In the waters surrounding the empire, the Stone Islands are the only unique place, covered in a variety of stone formations. Unfortunately, no one has yet been able to unearth their secrets." After Lutos patiently explained, he looked at Jules, who had fallen into an eerie calm, and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, with our protection, they won't be able to threaten you again. Our 'fishing' operation against the nobles has also yielded quite good results.

Although we failed to inflict a heavy blow to the Wellington family, being able to show their current attitude is also good. There will definitely be a good reward from the bureau, and you will also be appreciated by Master Centipede. With time, you will have a bright future.

Jules picked up a mirror beside him and looked at the mirror.

The mirror reflected a familiar face, but at this moment, he felt that this face was particularly strange.

He suddenly spoke softly:
"Who is that 'Centipede' sir? Is he a high-ranking official in the Suppression Bureau?"

"Yes, it was he who promoted me," Lutos nodded. "His power is beyond your imagination. As long as he appreciates me, rapid advancement is just around the corner!"

"So, what does he think about this murder?"

At this time, the atmosphere in the room had subtly changed.

Rutos couldn't help swallowing.

For some reason, he always felt that Jules's temperament had become a little dangerous.

"Master Centipede is naturally furious about this... but for the greater good, he still..."

Jules smiled slightly and said:

"So, for the greater good, Officer Fate was discarded, and from now on, his name will never be mentioned again, correct?"

"How could that be?" Lutos sensed something was wrong and quickly comforted him:

"Don't worry! From now on, I will make these damn nobles pay the price a thousand times over!"

"Perhaps you will think that those of us who possess extraordinary powers are cowards for tolerating the nobles, but I want to tell you that behind the nobles stands a power that you cannot imagine!

That was the initial flame that forged the Empire's hegemony. Even after its decline, its power remains unimaginably vast. Compared to them, the Anti-Suppression Bureau is but a newborn! To crush them, we must take our time!

Without warning, Jules stood up.

"Did the 'Centipede' master behind you say that he would forgive all my crimes?"

"Of course," Lutos nodded happily, "but only for less serious crimes. We can help you pardon those fabricated and insignificant crimes."

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Jules' mouth:

"So, Carl has indeed reached the Rock Islands now, right?"

"That's right."

Hearing Lutos's answer, he took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the door.

"What are you going to do?" Lutos had a bad feeling.

Jules paused and turned his head slightly:

"Do you think that killing a nobleman in such a cruel way would be considered a heinous crime?"

"Of course," Lutos quickly stood up, "Don't do anything stupid!"

Hearing this, Jules put on the hat he had picked up, lowered the brim, and chuckled:
"Then thank you very much for helping protect Lolita and the others. Although Holmes has some fighting ability, he is not good at direct combat after all. Thank you for your help."

"Jules, we have pardoned your crimes, you don't have to..." Just as Lutos was about to step forward to stop him, he sensed an extremely terrifying power emanating from Jules.

It was the most primitive and violent force of killing and revenge that came from the "blade"!

At this moment, Jules still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were as dead as ice:
"You don't have to stop me, and you can't stop me."

"Because the crime I am about to commit cannot be forgiven by you and those behind you."
