The Holy Judgment Court was located between the Alps and Lake Geneva. The temperature averaged less than ten degrees Celsius over the year. The surface of the lake was usually frozen during the current season. It felt like they were walking on a mirror of ice in Heaven.

Mo Fan went to Geneva first, touring around Lake Geneva, and then climbing the Alps. Professor Zheng was an absolute fool for the place. He told the students that since they had come to expand their horizons, it was better for them to travel on foot instead of taking a train, just so they could slowly enjoy the spectacular views of the Alps and the mountains and had a different experience with nature.

As they were climbing the Alps, there were indeed stunning views of the mountains and the lakes, with the obscure dark brown of the barren ground and rocks contrasting the elegance of the dark blue water and the pure white snow!

Mo Fan was meant to be summoned to the Holy Judgment Court like a criminal, but the Pearl Institute was unwilling to follow their procedures. They were enjoying themselves along the journey, like reputable guests of the Holy Judgment Court instead!

The Holy Judgment Court was basically connected with the Alps Institute, similar to the connection between the Parthenon Temple College and the Parthenon Temple.

The Holy Judgment Court belonged to the Magic Association of the Five Continents, and was the highest court for Mages. The sentencing of criminals by the court had no appeal. A criminal would be punished severely by the Magic Association of the Five Continents, and the countries and places under its jurisdiction!

Mo Fan had offended the Holy Judgment Court at the Parthenon Temple. On the other hand, Izisha, who still held an important position in the Holy Judgment Court, had not wasted her time over the past year. She was restricted by the contract set up by the Clergymen, preventing her from committing any vengeful acts against Mo Fan and Xinxia. However, she could still bring Mo Fan trouble using the laws governing mages!

Mo Fan had done the Holy Judgment Court a great favor by arresting the Cold Prince. He had clearly earned a chance to be exempted from punishment unconditionally, but the woman was still pulling the strings behind the scenes. She had summoned Mo Fan over and insisted on placing a few charges on him…

The accusations were pretty huge. Mo Fan was accused of murdering the Golden Sun Knights of the Parthenon Temple. She even listed the names of the Golden Sun Knights, provoking their families to file a lawsuit against Mo Fan!

The Holy Court could not afford to just ignore the accusations. If Mo Fan did not show up, he would most likely be judged guilty!

Every Golden Sun Knight was a Super Mage. A Super Mage normally had outstanding status in Europe, and had no trouble supporting a clan. The clan that demanded Mo Fan be sentenced to prison was an ancient renowned clan in Switzerland, the Rhines. They were the most eager to see Mo Fan being escorted into the Holy Judgment Court like a criminal, yet Mo Fan was totally enjoying himself, and in a great mood along the journey!

“Mo Fan, are you sure it’s the Rhines that are filing a lawsuit against you?” Mu Bai asked with a strange expression, while glancing at the letter from the Holy Judgment Court.

“It’s definitely them, why?” Mo Fan asked with a confused look.

“What a coincidence, the couple that agreed to take care of my sister is from the same renowned clan!” Mu Bai said.

“Perhaps your sister is the one that wrote the request to file a lawsuit in Chinese? HAHAHA!” Zhao Manyan burst out laughing.

“That’s a little awkward…” Mo Fan rubbed his head.

Mo Fan was interested in seeing who the Rhines were, too. The Holy Judgment Court had lost a few Holy Court Mages in the incident, but they were willing to turn a blind eye to it. Meanwhile, the Rhines suddenly appeared out of nowhere and filed a lawsuit against him. If anything, the Parthenon Temple should be the one filing the lawsuit! After all, the Golden Sun Knight was from the Parthenon Temple…

“Did you really kill those Golden-Sun Knights?” Mu Bai asked in disbelief.

Every Golden Sun Knight was a Super Mage, one of the strongest forces in the Parthenon Temple. How had Mo Fan done it?

“The Parthenon Temple was being manipulated by Great Muse Mellaura and Clergyman Dulanc. They were setting up the candidates, including Xinxia. The Black Totem Snake did help me to kill some of the Golden Sun Knights, but they were most likely Mellaura and Dulanc’s underlings…” Mo Fan recalled.

It was indeed quite a slaughter back then. Mo Fan had killed a lot of people too, but Izisha, Mellaura, and Dulanc were responsible for it in the first place. The following investigation had confirmed that Mellaura and Lanjin were the ones giving the orders.

Mo Fan was unsure if he had killed any innocent people. He only knew a lot of people that had dared to block his path were dead!

Mo Fan did not regret it; the people that died were a bunch of hypocrites pushing an innocent girl into a bottomless chasm in pursuit of power. They totally deserved it!

“Which means, if there’s any proof that the victim, Golden Sun Knight Fer, did collude with Dulanc or Mellaura, you’re free to go, but you will be found guilty if he had nothing to do with the conspiracy?” Zhao Manyan asked.

“More or less,” Mo Fan replied.

“Doesn’t that mean you’re in a bad spot? Aren’t you going to prison if there isn’t any proof that he was with Mellaura?” Zhao Manyan yelled.

“Not really, they have to prove that I’m the demon, too,” Mo Fan said indifferently.

Mo Fan had spent some time at the Parthenon Temple. He was confident that the Golden Sun Knight Fer was taking orders from Mellaura, and Izisha was provoking the Rhines to bring him trouble…

Fer was secretly colluding with Mellaura, thus it would be difficult to find any proof!

Similarly, Mo Fan did not have to admit that he was the demon. The Heresy Judgment Court was the judge for the case. They were more interested in the Cold Prince for the time being. It was fine if they insisted that he was the demon who had brought the massacre upon the Parthenon Temple, but it also meant Shao Zheng would then hand the Cold Prince to some other faction.

Therefore, Mo Fan was not worried at all; there might be a few voices raising their objections among the people of the Holy Judgment Court, but what Mo Fan had done was forgivable after he managed to catch the Cold Prince alive.

They could not do anything to the Black Vatican, but Mo Fan could! Perhaps the Holy Judgment Court and the Heresy Judgment Court would have to plead with Mo Fan to deal with the Black Vatican in the future. If Mo Fan was unhappy with the result, he could just leave, regardless of the lawsuit that the Rhines were filling against him. If worse came to worst, he only had to stay in China. If the Holy Judgment Court and the Heresy Judgment Court dared to come to China to trouble him, the people of his country were more than willing to kick them out!

A bunch of useless authorities that couldn’t do anything to the Black Vatican dared to come and arrest the hero who had driven the Black Vatican away? HAH!

“Basically, you’re just here for the sake of official procedures?” Mu Bai asked in a surprised voice.

“Something like that,” Mo Fan confirmed.

“You’re really something; not everyone can just come to the Holy Judgment Court for the sake of going through the motions,” Zhao Manyan said.

“There are a few days until we are needed at the court. Let’s visit the institute. There should be quite a lot of pretty chicks there!” Mo Fan suggested.

Zhao Manyan’s eyes glittered. “That’s our primary mission; we are here for the exchange… oh, sacred yet sexy Swiss ladies, I, Zhao Manyan, am here to treat you with love and tenderness!”
