Three days later, Kenneth, who had been taken away by the West Factory, reappeared before the public.
His first act upon returning was to voluntarily surrender himself to the authorities, confessing all of his past crimes one by one, without holding anything back.
However, when the presiding judge inquired into the reasons behind his surrender, Kenneth displayed a look of terror, trembling uncontrollably, as if shrouded in some unfathomable fear, and refused to utter another word.
This incident was reported by the Steambird News, causing a huge uproar in society.
The newly established West Factory instantly became synonymous with terror and mystery.
The vast majority of nobles felt deeply uneasy and disgusted by the West Factory's methods, fearing that they too would end up like Kenneth.
This fear and aversion spread rapidly among the nobility, further tarnishing the reputation of the West Factory.
…
Supreme Judge's Office.
Tywin stood before Neuvillette's desk, his voice firm and serious: "Lord Neuvillette, I implore you to reconsider.
The existence of the West Factory is undoubtedly a trampling of the law and a desecration of justice."
Neuvillette gazed at his stern face, gently tapping his fingers on the desk.
After a long silence, Neuvillette finally spoke: "Chief Tywin, you should be aware that this is the will of Lady Furina, and her will is the will of justice."
A hint of disdain flashed in Tywin's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. "You know that, in most cases, Lady Furina's actions are…"
Although he did not finish his sentence, his implication was clear.
"Insolence!" Neuvillette's voice was as cold as ice. "Chief Tywin, you are not qualified to judge a god in my presence."
Tywin was startled by this sudden rebuke, and he quickly lowered his head, saying humbly: "I apologize, Lord Neuvillette, I misspoke.
I only hope that Fontaine's justice can be better maintained and not be tainted by some lawless elements."
"Fontaine's justice can be better maintained?" Neuvillette sneered, questioning: "Then can you tell me why things like what happened with Kenneth occur?
Why was he able to order your son, Herbert, to break into someone else's private residence without the approval of the Maison Gardiennage?"
Tywin was rendered speechless, his heart filled with anger and resentment towards Kenneth.
It was because of this guy's actions that the Marechaussee Phantom had lost Neuvillette's trust.
He clenched his fists, but was helpless, and could only silently endure Neuvillette's questioning and ridicule.
He understood that no matter how he argued or fought for it, he could not change the current state of the West Factory's existence.
Therefore, he had no choice but to temporarily tolerate it, but this did not mean that he would allow the West Factory to continue to exist.
After his fruitless conversation with Neuvillette, Tywin took his leave and left the office.
As he stepped out of the Palais Mermonia's doors, a gloomy mood instantly enveloped his heart.
Just then, his son Herbert walked towards him.
Herbert noticed the solemn expression on his father's face and vaguely guessed the outcome.
"Father, how did things go?" Herbert asked cautiously.
Tywin briefly told Herbert about his persuasion and confrontation in the office.
"It's all because of that damned Kenneth!"
Herbert roared angrily, his face twisted like a furious beast.
"He assured me that he would not leave any evidence. But what happened? The bastard actually surrendered and confessed to all his crimes!"
Tywin's face suddenly darkened as he watched his son's distraught behavior. "Herbert, I have told you before, as nobles, we must always maintain elegance and grace. Look at you now, what a disgrace!"
Herbert was startled by Tywin's stern tone, and he immediately realized his gaffe and quickly suppressed his anger and resentment.
He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and said respectfully: "Father, I was wrong."
Tywin's expression softened slightly. "Yide is only temporarily gaining the upper hand, let him be proud for a while. We will always have a chance to kill him."
"Yes, Father," Herbert responded respectfully, then mentioned another matter, "Elina is currently staying at a hotel rented by the Gardes, and she has been begging to return to the Lannis family."
Upon hearing this, Tywin was furious and cursed on the spot: "Our Lannis family has no such lowly thing, she and her mother should be soaked in the sewage of the Fleuve Cendre."
Herbert was taken aback, not expecting his father to get so angry. "I understand, I will have someone sternly reject that bitch."
However, just as he turned to leave, Tywin's voice came again: "Wait, did you just say Elina is in a hotel rented by the Gardes?"
Herbert replied: "Yes, Father. Because Elina is pregnant, the Gardes specially rented a comfortable hotel room for her so that she can have a safe pregnancy."
After hearing this, Tywin looked thoughtful.
…
Palais Mermonia.
Furina walked with light steps, crossing the long corridor, towards her reception room.
The thought of seeing Lin Yide soon made her feel inexplicably happy.
Before long, she arrived at the door of the reception room and gently pushed it open.
Finally, she arrived at the door of the reception room and gently pushed open the delicate door.
The scene behind the door came into view, Lin Yide still maintained that casual posture, leisurely sitting on the sofa, as if he was not meeting a god.
Goddess Furina slightly raised her chin, posing with the majesty and flair of a goddess. Her tone revealed a hint of exaggeration and arrogance: "You have come to see me, is there anything you need this goddess to help you with?"
Lin Yide said calmly: "Yes, great Lady Furina, your faithful follower wants to ask you for some Mora."
Furina felt that something was wrong when she heard this.
A faithful follower asking a god for Mora?
