Chapter 274: The Masses Euphoria
Heero did not know the whole ordeal behind the strange trial. These old men must know something, but they did not want him to know.
Heero did not ask further and showed Kim Jung-Mun the data. No, to be more precise, it was evidence, proof of Kim Han-Pyo's crimes.
Collusion, nepotism, corruption, murder, and even human trafficking. It was all there.
"Where? Where did you get this?" Even Kim Jung-Mun was shocked by the evidence shown to him.
"One of my students is good at gathering this kind of information" Heero smiled at the old man.
"How is it? Do you want to plead for him? Or just execute him?"
Kim Jung-Mun had investigated all of his family members, including Kim Han-Pyo. However, he did not find any cases of murder or human trafficking.
"My plan is to confiscate his private assets and use them to compensate the victim's family. The trial would be held in public for the first case of the purge, this guy will be an example for the others" he said.
Heero told the old man his plan for Kim Jung-Mun considering their close relationship.
"Do as you have planned and ask your disciple to first cleanse my family! I have some information about them that I will give you. You can use it to help your disciple's investigation!" Kim Jung-Mun made a decisive decision.
He was shocked that his family had fallen so low. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before his family was doomed. He could not let that happen, at least not while he was still alive.
"Then I will put the investigation of the Hanzo clan on hold" Heero complied willingly.
Even though it was impossible to cleanse the city of such evil deeds, Heero believed that the cleansing would help, a great help in making the city a better place.

The next morning
Kim Han-Pyo returned to his house and slammed the door shut.
His wife called out to him, asking what had happened, but he ignored her. He rushed to his room and slammed the door shut.
Bang!
He slammed the door hard, an indication of how upset he was. The man simply could not believe the orders given to him by his cousin, who was also the head of the Kim family, Kim Taeyang.
How could he, as the head of the family, ask him to confess all his crimes to Xing Heero? His cousin did not even try to protect him. All his crimes were enough to deprive him of his position. He could be imprisoned for life.
"Ah, f*ck! I am not stupid enough to confess all my crimes!"
Bang!
He struck the table with both hands, causing it to crumble under his force.
"Nah, whatever! As long as he has no evidence, he cannot convict me! Leniency for those who confess? Confess my ass!"
Right after he finished uttering these words, the door of his house was knocked hard three times.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His wife opened the door with a frown on her face. She opened her mouth to scold the person who had knocked at her door so rudely. But no words came out of her mouth when she saw who was coming.
In front of her stood Musashi Hirata, wearing a red uniform with an SES emblem on the left chest, who had been sent to arrest Kim Han-Pyo on Heero's orders.
Kim Han-Pyo's wife swallowed her words. The frown disappeared and was replaced by a friendly smile.
"How can I help you, Hero Musashi?"
"Your husband is under arrest! This is the warrant!" Musashi Hirata showed the woman the warrant.
Kim Han-Pyo's wife did not need to read the contents. The stamps of the Hero League and the central government were enough to prove that the warrant was legitimate.
"W-what... W-what???" Kim Han-Pyo's wife stuttered as she saw the impending doom that would befall her family.
"What's with all the noise..." Kim Han-Pyo's voice came down and his words stopped halfway at the sight of Musashi Hirata in front of his door.
His angry expression cleared as a smile appeared on his face. He immediately ran over and greeted Musashi Hirata.
"Hello, Sir Hirata. How can I help you?"
The man still had not realized the impending doom.
"You are under arrest!" After saying that, Musashi Hirata ordered his subordinate to arrest the man.
"If you resist, I will cut your legs and take you by force!"
Kim Han-Pyo wanted to resist the arrest until the cold words rang out. His body stiffened, he let himself be handcuffed and obediently followed Squad 2.
He believed that if he resisted the arrest, Hirata would really cut off his legs. He could feel the thick killing intent along with the words.
Kim Han-Pyo's wife cried and asked why her husband had been arrested. What she got were cold words from Hirata.
"In 30 minutes, your husband's trial will be broadcast to the public! You can watch the trial on your smartwatch!"

30 minutes later
Star City was shaken by the public trial of Master Instructor Kim Han-Pyo.
As if the broadcast of such a trial was not enough to shock the public, the entire city froze when the Master Instructor's crimes were mentioned.
Premeditated murder and human trafficking. His murder targets were heroes, so far he had killed 4 Silver Class Heroes, 9 Iron Class Heroes, and 20 Wood Class Heroes.
Kim Han-Pyo also kidnapped beautiful girls from the outer regions and sold them to his customers in the inner region. This was his main source of income.
All his other crimes overshadowed these two. That morning, the citizens of Star City cursed the scum in unison.
After the crimes were read, it was time for the five judges to deliver their verdict. The judges were chosen by the Hero League, since this was a trial for Hero Instructors. The central government did not interfere in this trial.
The judges were the same as for the trial of two Emperor-class heroes. The Chief Executive, the Chief Instructor, a representative of the Elder and the two Supreme Guardians.
The difference was that Heero became the chief judge and it was also Heero who read the verdict.
"The final verdict was the death penalty. Kim Han-Pyo's estate would be donated to the families of all the victims.
As soon as the verdict was read, the whole city cheered loudly. In many streets, people sang praises for Heero. As someone who read the verdict, all attention was focused on Heero.
Kim Han-Pyo begged and cried. It was shown on the broadcast, but no one took pity on him. Instead, a rain of curses was directed at the man.
People pointed their fingers at the screen and vented their anger at the man.
At the end of the broadcast, a sentence was broadcast for half a minute.
"Leniency for those who confess!"
While the citizens cheered because the evildoer was being punished, the people who had received the letter from the Hero League were tense.
It was clear that Kim Han-Pyo was being made an example of. Someone from the Kim family was being made an example of, which meant that the Hero League was serious in its warning.
In the following days, Star City was in a heated atmosphere. More and more heroes were punished by public trial. Of course, the following people were not as shocking as the first case. However, it still brought joy to the common masses.
While the citizens were in euphoria, Heero and his little family were on a plane. They were on their way to the Royal Kingdom for their honeymoon.
