Successors of all mankind

Now he no longer needs to constantly think about what a true nobleman would do, as he used to.

Even if he does something inappropriate or inconsistent with his status, now...

They will also be automatically ignored by others who will find a reasonable explanation for it.

She is now the 'Queen of England'!

Therefore, what he is thinking about now is how to gain the greatest benefit from this matter and leave enough room for maneuver.

There's no need for a fight to the death, but we can't let it go easily either.

He needs a mutually agreeable answer.

"Mr. Hudson."

Yu Le spoke, in German, with that standard royal accent.

His authenticity further convinced the nobles present that he was indeed a prominent figure from across the strait, and that he had extensive interactions with most of the nobles in the capital.

The old man slightly raised his head, but did not look directly into Ye Yule's eyes.

He suppressed his anger; he couldn't let anyone see his eyes.

That was a good-for-nothing, but he was also his only offspring!

The only bloodline to inherit Hudson's legacy!

“Your son questions the divine judgment, questions my identity, and even questions the laws of the kingdom and the dignity of humankind.”

Yu Le, mimicking the Baron, lightly tapped the wooden edge in front of him and asked with a smile, looking down at him:

"So, how come he's still alive?"

A few quiet murmurs arose from the crowd, but the voices were deliberately kept very low.

Hudson's lips twitched wildly, and his eyelids twitched incessantly.

“Sir, this doesn’t need to come to this. My child is indeed a disappointment and has made some mistakes, but I don’t think it’s worth sacrificing his life for them.”

"He already knows he was wrong, and he has paid a sufficient price!"

Yu Le stopped tapping on the wooden edge and then said:

"But I almost lost my precious life because of his mistakes. Tell me, can the Hudson family afford the consequences?"

The old man took a deep breath and said:

“The Hudson family cannot afford this, but I am truly glad that you are safe and sound. Of course, I will not overlook the damage my child has caused you.”

"My lord, I am willing to apologize on his behalf for this matter. Do you think 300,000 gold bars would be appropriate?"

Gold bars? Three hundred thousand? That's how much?

Yu Le had no idea how much money it was; he was even learning for the first time what the world's currency was called.

But it's okay, someone knows.

Yu Le looked at Shen Ji and asked:

"I am the defendant, and I believe I should respect the judge's opinion. So, what do you think?"

Shenji then looked at Yule, turned the steering wheel a few times, and said to Hudson:

“I think this is too low. I believe the exact amount for this apology should be exactly 817,200 gold pounds!”

"Deliver on-site! Immediately, right now!"

Another murmur rippled through the crowd.

This is a truly terrifying number.

And why not an integer?

Old Hudson felt a sharp pain in his heart and looked at Shenji in disbelief.

Eighty-one seven thousand two hundred gold bars—this number is right on a very delicate note.

Even if the aristocracy were to give up all their liquid assets, it would be difficult to cripple them.

Because no matter what, nobles still have the option of exchanging royal blood gold.

To put it simply, it's about selling blood!

Not to mention that these upper-class nobles can also recover their losses by relying on lower-class nobles.

But this number is different; this number is exactly the limit that brought them to the brink of collapse!

In other words, it's a number that can only be barely achieved by exchanging blood gold and frantically sucking the blood of vassals.

They just won't actually kill them!

Given Shenji's powerful computing capabilities and his understanding of the slave Nor, it's no surprise that he accurately targeted the Hudson family's Achilles' heel.

What puzzled and astonished him was why the divine planner would help Robespierre in this way.

Theoretically, it should be biased towards itself!

Old Hudson still remembers exactly what he brought to see the divine planner yesterday.

And what promises were made to the other party?

But now, it doesn't care about this at all?

Just yesterday, old Hudson presented a precious relic from the Cult of Human Machines to the Divine Machine, promising to cremate it that very day.

That's a human ulna bone!

That was a sacred relic bestowed upon the Hudson family after they had fought and lost almost all of their male heirs in the battle for the bastards!

I've even offered this, why are you still like this?

The divine strategists are absolutely fair and impartial because, in the eyes of the other party, there is no reason for them to be treated differently.

Therefore, they were able to rely on sacred objects, which are clearly not the same concept as them, to reverse the bias of divine mechanisms.

But now...

Looking at Jules Robespierre, who was clearly favored by the divine plan.

Even this cunning old fox couldn't help but offer a reminder:

“I have no doubt about you, but great strategist, legacy of humanity, shouldn’t you reconsider your judgment?”

"You are a relic of humanity!"

The steering wheel kept turning, and the response remained swift and merciless:

"Since there is no doubt about this machine, then execute this machine's ruling. Doron Hudson!"

Old Hudson was rebuffed, but he was still not entirely satisfied.

His brother, father, uncle, and younger brother all died in the Battle of the Bastards in exchange for that sacred relic.

Now he has sent such precious relics out for cremation, how could you do this?

"I...I...Respected Strategist, don't you need to think this through? This...this isn't right!"

Old Hudson is really choking himself.

He couldn't openly admit what he had done in private, only to have the other party not only embezzle his bribe but also forget his agreement.

It even completely turned its backside to the other side!

What's this?

Did the Hudson family all die in vain?

But no matter how much he hinted or reminded me.

The divine strategist's answer remained the same:

"This agency reiterates once again that its ruling is absolutely fair and just, in accordance with the law, principles, and ethics!"

One is a dangerous animal that has no human rights and yet intends to harm people; the other is a pure human being.

It's clear at a glance who is being protected and who is being defended.

It is also naturally legal, compliant, fair, and just.

How can humans and aliens be the same?

Chapter 45 The Tribune Arrives

"If you continue to question this machine's ruling, and question justice and righteousness, then Sister, this machine will require you to enforce the ruling!"

Looking at the nuns who had gathered around.

For the first time, old Hudson truly understood how painful and disgusting it was to lift a rock only to drop it on one's own foot.

He approved the trial by divine intervention, and he even personally invited the nuns.

I thought it would be a perfect last-minute victory, but unexpectedly...

After a moment of twitching at the corner of his mouth, old Hudson finally bowed his head.

"I accept your ruling!"

Old Hudson thought that was the end of it.

The nuns stopped too.

But to Hudson's surprise, Shenji turned around and looked at Yu Ledao:

"So, Mr. Jules Robespierre, are you satisfied with this ruling? Do you have any additional conditions?"

Old Hudson looked up in surprise. What did that mean?

You should ask him if there's anything else.

Is your butt so crooked?

At this moment, even Hudson began to wonder if he was too old.

He even believed that he had actually delivered the sacred object to the divine strategist yesterday, but in reality, it was just his imagination.

See the divine planner and ask him for his final opinion on how to handle the situation.

Yu Le looked back over.

He didn't know where the gate and the iron can were, he just remembered that they were somewhere behind.

Although I searched around several times, I still couldn't find them.

But Yule will not forget them because of this.

Therefore, he said:

"At settlement 386, I demand that their legal rights be guaranteed, as they rescued me at great cost when I was in danger."

"And I've also noticed that you seem to have some plans for them. I wonder if this is a misunderstanding?"

The true purpose of entertainment is this.

He wasn't some saint who would think of abandoning Settlement 386 and running away. Because he was truly in dire straits at the time, he had no choice but to go against his conscience.

But now, he has a choice.

Then he must do it!

Looking at the influential people who stood up for their settlement.

The two people at the gate were incredibly excited.

The blood wasn't shed in vain! The lives weren't lost for nothing!

Hudson stared wide-eyed at Yu Le.

For this? You're going to keep chasing after this? For a bunch of lowly people?

Or was it just a side effect?

Old Hudson didn't quite understand the problem here.

But now the situation is stronger than him, so what he needs to do is actually very simple.

He obediently lowered his head and said:
