The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 616
Chapter 616: Scarlet Inquisition and the Fenrir Clan (III) Chapter 616: Scarlet Inquisition and the Fenrir Clan (III) Of course, even if they were not severe and no one perished, they were still crimes that broke the empire’s code and rules and there would be a punishment, but that would be a fine or at most a few months in prison.
Not something worth the presence of three Scarlet Inquisitors. The other five percent was more problematic since they had indeed committed severe crimes, with many of them deserving serious prison time and some so heinous that death was the only path.
However, even then there was no need to send Titans to handle them since none of the criminals was part of the upper echelon of the Fenrir Clan.
Xina stared at Amalia and her eyes sharpened as she glanced at the nine people waiting silently on the side.
There was something else the woman was after, and it had to do with the members of the younger generation that entered the Astral Bloodline Realm.
Despite the list containing hundreds of names, of the nine members of the Fenrir Clan present, only one of them was in the file, and it was the same one that was trembling.
‘Fanir?’ The Patriarch of the Fenrir Clan focused on Fanir and a solemn expression appeared on her face.
The young man was talented but he was barely able to qualify for the Astral Bloodline Realm, and it was thanks to her sister asking for a lot of favors that he was able to accompany Rodrick and the others.
Of course, the Patriarch was aware of Fanir’s encounter with Cain during the Solis Clan Tournament, but there was no way such a minor clash could lead to all this so there had to be something else.
“Fanir, is there something you would like to share with us?” Xina was not in the mood to go around deciphering things, so she immediately questioned the young man for answers.
Fanir trembled as he heard those words and he opened his mouth but no words came out.
Fear and apprehension had blocked his ability to speak. Seeing this, a young woman with a thin sword on her back took a step forward.
“My Lady, during our time in the Astral Bloodline Realm, we divided into two groups.
I led one of them and we encountered Cain Laurifer running from Robert and an unknown man with features of the Kraken Clan.
At that moment, the Sun Avatar attempted to approach us, but Fanir attacked, forcing him to keep running away.
I accept all responsibility for my lack of leadership.” As soon as the young woman uttered those words, Rodrick also took a step forward.
“It is not Camila’s fault, my Lady.
I should have been more cautious and not divided our party.” “Enough” Xina shut down the duo and as she focused on Fanir who was now overwhelmed by dread, she could not help but sigh and shake her head.
The young man had allowed his envy and jealousy to get the best of him, attacking Cain when this one was being chased by the Soul King.
Although Xina did not know the details of that chase, she was sure the Scarlet King found himself at death’s door due to Fanir’s actions.
If Cain had perished, then no one would have cared about Fanir’s attack, but not only did this one survive but rose to a point where his word was only beneath that of the Emperor.
“Ahhh, how does the Scarlet King suggest we proceed with these cases?” “First of all, the 17 names marked with a red seal will face the full power of the empire’s laws.
They will all be sent to the Imperial Prison where they will await to stand trial.
Due to the evidence, 16 of them will face death sentences.
As for Fanir Fenrir, he will serve consecutive sentences and will spend 300 years in prison.” Three hundred years was a lot of time, and in all fairness, Fanir’s crimes were not that grave.
But there were many, and they added up.
Normally those sentences would be served concurrently, and he would have spent only about twenty years, but there was no way Cain would allow that.
Fanir’s eyes widened as a sense of shock and despair assaulted him upon hearing Amalia’s words.
Although his lifespan was measured in the thousands of years, he was less than one hundred.
And that was just the beginning since in prison Fanir would not be able to cultivate, leading to the atrophy of his Sacred Organs.

It would be impossible for him to advance to the Divine Ascension Realm or even reach the Peak of the Apotheosis Realm once he got out.
“This is not fair!
Even if I attacked that man, it was inside the Astral Bloodline Realm, and the codes and rules of the empire are not valid there.
The human is clearly using military power to solve personal vendettas!” The pressure of facing a cell for hundreds of years was too much for Fanir, and he could not help but shout at Amalia.
The Scarlet Inquisitor turned toward Fanir and looked at him as if he was a buffoon.
“I do not know what you are talking about.
Your crimes are well recorded and documented, with evidence clear for all to see.
We have not made a single accusation or reference to the events of the Astral Bloodline Realm.” Fanir trembled as he knew those words were true, and finding no way to handle the situation, turned toward the Patriarch.
“My Lady, please help me.
You can not let them take me!” Xina stared at the young man for a moment before sighing again.
Her eyes glowed and Fanir blacked out the next second.
It was clear to everybody that the sentence of Fanir had the goal of vengeance, and while some might find it petty, his actions nearly cost Cain his life.
The man was actually lucky to be part of the Fenrir Clan, or else Cain would have killed him.
