Chapter 116 - 5.27: The Immortal Justice in Neo Yokto
"I’ve heard that you two have been extorting money from the people outside," a tall man with a cold expression glared at two cops who lowered their heads and hunched their backs in front of him. Their face was that of terrified men as if they were facing a monster that could swallow them whole.
"W—We are sorry, chief," they said in unison.
"I will give you two extra midnight patrol around Neo Yokto for the next five days as a punishment, but one more time I heard you two were extorting money from the citizen, then I will make sure to feed your body to wild mutt and let them mangle you alive," the man said.
These two cops were not stupid enough to ignore this warning. This man was well known to be the demon chief of the police department. He was as cruel to his subordinates as he was cruel to the criminals.
"Yes, Chief Ito! We are sorry!" the two cops lowered their back to a ninety-degree angle, and finally, Chief Mamoru Ito released them.
After that massacre that killed almost half of Neo Yokto population, the metropolis needed ten years to finally regained its former glory as of the country’s capital city. The massacre created distrust towards machines and androids. People were scared that those robots and androids would go rampage one more and did the same thing again in the future.
However, there was one hero that stood above all. He was a man with a slender figure, long white hair, and rimless glasses. He was quite handsome but looked very weak. He was the hero of Neo Yokto, Sakuma Hoshino.
After Sakuma saved Neo Yokto, he used the rest of his androids to help the wounded get treated and helped the government rebuild the city. However, after the city had been successfully rebuilt, Sakuma disappeared for about one year.
Once he returned to Neo Yokto, he demanded the position of the police force’s new commissioner. The government was a bit reluctant to give him such a powerful position, but the people in Neo Yokto hailed him as the hero of humanity. Thus the government had to yield and gave him the new role as police commissioner.
However, despite his lean stature and frail-looking body, Sakuma was not a lenient and generous commissioner. He controlled the city with an iron fist. He would deliver punishment justly to both criminals and cops.
Thus, Neo Yokto became a very secure yet somewhat monotonous city. There were no more dangerous alleys, gang members that would stop people, and no more vigilante in Neo Yokto. All due to Sakuma efficiently used all his androids to patrol the city. The case of police abusing their authority was almost non-existent after Sakuma became the commissioner.
