The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 31 Chief Griffin

Viscount Flores never dreamed that one day he would be sent to the courtroom!
"I've told you so many times, I was attacked! I'm the victim!" He roared with a distorted face, and his originally neatly combed hair became a little messy because of the chaos just now. A few strands of hair hung in front of his forehead, swaying slightly with his excitement.

At the trial table, Chief Judge Griffin's cold blue eyes remained calm as he stared at the man throwing a tantrum before him. He spoke slowly, "You persecuted the guide mentally during the treatment. This alone is enough to convict you."

"Who dares to accuse me? I'm a noble!" Viscount Flores sneered in dissatisfaction, as if he had heard a joke. "You claim I'm being persecuted. What evidence do you have? It's obvious they have ill intentions and are trying to seduce me."

"They're definitely not legitimate guides. They're not even registered with the clinic! If they're not registered with the clinic, then what right do they have to conduct a follow-up examination on me? They have ulterior motives and deliberately set up this trap to frame me!"

"Yes, and that Guide Xu, she is also an accomplice. I have so many exclusive guides at home, why should I go out for a re-examination? She was the one who seduced me, you must make the decision for me, Presiding Judge!" He spoke more and more without thinking, throwing out every excuse he could think of, but his cowardly appearance only made others despise him more.

Chief Judge Griffin stared at him with his cold blue eyes, which were so dark as if he was looking at a dead object. There was no warmth or extra emotion in them.

He pursed his lips slightly, a sarcastic arc forming at the corner of his mouth: "You are really at the end of your rope, yet you still have to make excuses."

He threw the clinic surveillance video and Ellie's mental examination report in front of him and said coldly, "Viscount, have you forgotten that the safety of the guides is above any national law? No matter the situation, as long as they are harmed, they have the right to fight back, regardless of whether the opponent is aristocracy, royalty, or even the President."

"..."

The presiding judge's calm and ruthless voice echoed in the quiet courtroom. Every word struck Viscount Flores' heart with a heavy weight, completely shattering any glimmer of hope he had left.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Griffin called someone in and put cold handcuffs on his hands.

"If you don't have any questions, just sign the confession. It doesn't matter. You'll only be incarcerated for half a month anyway."

"Half a month!"

Upon hearing this, Viscount Flores' face turned red and white. Finally, he threatened angrily, "You are deliberately targeting me! Who am I? You, a lowly person, are the presiding judge. This is totally unfair. Do you know how much money our family has contributed to the parliament? How dare you put me in jail!"

"Oh, you should be thankful that you are in the Flores family and that there is a child with extraordinary talent in your family, otherwise——"

Griffin couldn't help but sneer, his voice harsh. He raised his chin slightly, and the chill in his icy blue eyes became even colder, as if he could freeze the air around him. His gaze was fixed on the man opposite him. "You've done things that deserve more than ten heads. Do I need to remind you, Viscount Flores?"

"The sentry who disregarded military orders and entered Area 5 not long ago was one of yours, right?"

The man who was originally arrogant suddenly became silent. The presiding judge waved his hands and the man was taken away.

"If you have any complaints, go tell the president," Griffin said gloomily, his voice echoing in the empty courtroom.
-
Lin Nan also entered the courtroom, but she was in the VIP reception room.

The person guarding her was Director Huo Sen.

This guy is really everywhere...

She carefully glanced at the gloomy face of the man opposite her, then picked her fingers guiltily.

After an unknown amount of time, a man with white hair, blue eyes, and an extremely feminine and beautiful appearance walked in from outside the door and said, "You can take the person away. Go back and discipline him properly."

"Thanks for today, Griffin." Huo Sen stood up from the sofa. "No need to be polite. I was just worried about not having a reason to arrest him, and now's the perfect time—" Griffin sneered, his tense demeanor slowly dissipating. He folded his arms across his chest and leaned leisurely against the wall at the entrance.

"But you, are you really okay with that? The Flores family is in the same party as you, after all. How can the parliament have no objection to you bullying him behind his back?"

"No problem." Huo Sen remained calm throughout, his expression not changing at all. "I'm neither in the military nor in politics now, so they can't reach me. Besides—these ancient and filthy vampire families are due for a shakeup."

"You're quite self-aware. No wonder the president trusts you so much." Griffin laughed, his laughter echoing through the room, a touch of recklessness and insolence. He then slowly turned his gaze towards the girl on the sofa. His eyes seemed to hold a scrutinizing look, as if observing something new and worth exploring.

Lin Nan suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a bird of prey.

"Pretty impressive," Griffin praised sincerely, looking her up and down with unscrupulous eyes. "No matter how useless that old guy is, he's still an A-rank. How could you beat him? What did you use to hit him?"

Is this - praising her?
Is this possible?
Doesn't she need to be punished for hitting someone?
Lin Nan looked up secretly out of curiosity and was about to ask something, but when he saw Director Huo Sen's face was even uglier than before, he shut his mouth obediently.

The vines in the brain all stood up and cast admiring glances at the white-haired sentinel commander.

【The little bird has a good eye.】

[Woo woo woo woo, this is my natal bird. ]

[You just said Dahei was your true love, why are you falling in love with someone else so quickly?]

How can you say I'm empathetic? I'm naturally sentimental.

Lin Nan: ...

Huo Sen took a step forward to block the other party's increasingly inquiring gaze. He said, "Since there is nothing else, we will leave first." After that, he turned sideways and gestured to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan hurriedly stopped the battle in his brain and followed Director Huo Sen.

In the basement corridor, there is always a cold wind blowing freely. As soon as Lin Nan went out, she felt a biting chill, which made her shiver uncontrollably.

It's strange, it's still a hot summer.

She walked forward slowly. The moment she passed Griffin, a breeze blew by, and Lin Nan's black hair fluttered, and a few strands gently fell on the tip of the man's nose.

A unique fragrance lingered in his nose, causing a subtle hint of strangeness to flash across his already deep eyes.

He couldn't help but follow her closely with his eyes until the little girl completely disappeared in the elevator.

This bird has a mean mouth but a very honest body. Huo Sennan's mother is still worried.
