Chapter 727 - 726: Ocean Vaughn Hits a Wall
Ocean Vaughn knew that many people looked down on him. Although many would respectfully address him as "Subordinate Mr. Vaughn" to his face, there was no telling what they might be saying behind his back.
But it didn’t matter, for he had been a "green turtle," a term of disrespect, for seven years, so his skin had thickened considerably.
However, tonight he was genuinely angry, his eyes blazing with fury. First, he saw his own wife and the coachman turn off the lights together, then he heard that his loyal butler had been beheaded. After arriving at the Ministry of Justice, a Deputy Commander there didn’t even give him the time of day, saying that there was an order from above, and with so many cultivators in Capital City, the regular authorities couldn’t, and dared not, involve themselves in matters of cultivators killing people.
Moreover, the Deputy Commander at the Ministry of Justice warned him not to cause trouble, for there were experts among the high society now and they wouldn’t be able to help him with this matter.
In the end, the Deputy Commander told him that if he wanted to resolve the issue, he would have to go to the Saint Dragon Branch.
The so-called Saint Dragon Branch was the criminal justice organization set up by the Saint Dragon Pavilion in Capital City, which was different from the Saint Dragon Pavilion’s recruitment office; the Saint Dragon Branch also held power and the authority to oversee cultivators all over the world.
For instance, if there were cultivators who committed crimes or were murderous fiends, or like the current assembly of heroes in Capital City, whenever a case occurred, the Saint Dragon Branch would be in charge of it.
How could their ordinary Ministry of Justice dare to handle these seekers of the path?
Ocean Vaughn felt like vomiting blood. After leaving the Ministry of Justice, he rode his horse furiously, bringing along a group of family guards to the North City, where he found the Saint Dragon Branch.
The Saint Dragon Branch was indeed brightly lit. Recently, many high-ranking individuals from different sects across the Mainland, as well as so-called "cultivator’s second generation," had arrived, as they were all going to gather at the Saint Dragon Pavilion. Thus, the Saint Dragon Branch served as a kind of reception front desk; if you didn’t have enough money for your expenses, you could also stay at the Saint Dragon Branch.
