*** Question ***
“No matter how strong he is, he’s still just a common criminal! We represent the country and the people’s will!”
“Isn’t it too harsh to say that he’s a murderer? He was a national hero who saved countless people’s lives and was the pride of Korea as the strongest DIO user.”
“But then he went on and slaughtered thousands. Are you so shameless to defend such a murderer?”
“I beg your pardon? Shameless?”
As always, the members of the Korean National Assembly were divided into several groups and were engaged in fierce discussions and arguments.
Arthur Pendragon, or Seyoung, was famous for being the strongest Master and the ‘knight of justice’ for the masses. He had amassed considerable popularity for being loyal to his home country and selflessly serving its people.
However, Arthur was never well versed or interested in politics, and he was especially uninterested and disliked associating himself with politicians who wanted to use him for their own political benefit; hence, Arthur didn’t actively participate in Korea’s political arena.
“Stop it! How long are we going to argue amongst ourselves in this assembly hall behind our desks!!”
“You’re right! Above all, we must not forget that Japan was defeated by only one individual, Kim Seyoung. If he becomes hostile towards Korea, do we have the power to stop him?”
“…”
This was an issue that everyone in the assembly hall was thinking about, so many lawmakers nodded their heads in agreement, but there were also opposing opinions.
“Right! But he has already done many manifestations! He won’t be able to run wild much longer! If he’s concerned for his own well-being, he’ll have to stop at some point!”
“…”
“…”
Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong frowned and looked at Rep. Lee Myung-Hak, who insisted and led the charge on directly facing and suppressing Seyoung. Not only that, but several members of the ruling party were vehemently agreeing with Rep. Lee’s words.
On the surface, this cohort claimed that they wouldn’t be able to control the other Masters if they ignored Seyoung’s senseless and unlawful slaughter of individuals… but since when were they ever interested in such universal humanitarian issues?
‘Did the Japanese side lobby them?’
The conjecture that these Korean representatives had been lobbied by Japanese politicians was quite possible, but this conjecture also presented many questions. Japan, which had been dealt a horrible defeat after mobilizing not only their Japanese Masters but also their Self-Defense Forces, was not so politically naïve to take such open and shallow lobbying actions.
Even though Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong had this thought, he did not bother to refute or intervene in the ongoing argument.
Though he could have stated his concerns and turn the tide of the argument, he would only lose face if he got entangled with such an enraged and emotion-appealing opponent. Moreover, it wasn’t his style to move while not knowing exactly what his opposition’s purpose or situation was.
“We will never compromise with a murderer!”
“Right! This is a disgrace to the good name of the Republic of Korea!”

“… That’s good.”
And, right at that moment, a new voice rang out.
“I don’t want to compromise with trash like you all either.”
“?!”
Arthur, Seyoung, appeared within the assembly hall.
He didn’t enter through a door but showed up after a burst of light. Seyoung had appeared in the middle of the assembly hall as if by magic.
“He’s here! The massacre you conducted won’t be condoned…”
Whoosh!
A shouting council member, who was seated next to Rep. Lee Myung-Hak, rose into the air.
Based on Seyoung’s will, his sword qi of light, which could be super-cold or super-heated, could burn the surface of one’s skin and create a wound where blood wouldn’t even be able to splatter.
Plop.
Roll…
The beheading happened in an instant. And since it happened so naturally, as if it was an act that had to be done, none of the gathered representatives were able to immediately react.
The pieces of the council member’s corpse, which seemed unrealistic and looked more like that of a mannequin than that of a human being, was separated into various body parts as they rolled on the assembly hall’s floor.
“What is this… what…”
The complexion of Representative Lee Myung-Hak, who was about to launch an attack on Seyoung, along with the other lawmakers around him, turned grey.
Of course, the attack the representative was planning to make was a political attack with words, not a physical attack using force.
“What are you doing!!”
“What am I doing? Didn’t I already state what I was doing from Japan? I will punish everyone involved in my mother’s death.”
“…!”
Representative Lee Myung-Hak’s body stiffened.
Regardless of Lee Myung-Hak’s response, Seyoung continued.
“You tricked my mother by telling her she was going to Japan to see me. Did you really think I wouldn’t find out?”
In truth, Lee Myung-Hak thought Seyoung would not find out.
Though it sounded absurd now, at that time, this was exactly what Lee Myung-Hak thought.
Of course, the representative knew that Seyoung was basing his current claim on circumstantial evidence; the representative and his people had already gotten rid of and removed all the hard evidence of his participation in the matter, and he had already matched stories with his two secretaries, with whom he had planned out and executed the matter. In the worst case, his two secretaries would take the fall, as they’d state that they moved personally, without the representative’s knowledge, out of pure personal greed.
“Don’t force lies and falsehoods on me! You’re going around and killing people without any evidence! You’re just a murderer!”
This was the way it always was for the representative. This was the line of argument he always took to successfully defend himself against his opposition’s attacks.
Even if Seyoung suspected the representative, that was all, just an accusation based on circumstantial evidence. Rep. Lee Myung Hak’s enemies could cut off his tail, but they’d never be able to touch his torso.
“Evidence? Don’t joke around with me.”
Whoosh!
However, the head of another councilor, this time someone behind Rep. Lee Myung-Hak, was blown off.
“…!”
Seyoung acted without a single moment of hesitation. Only then did Rep. Lee Myung-Hak finally realize that he was facing a type of person that he had never faced before.
Seyoung laughed.
“My confidence and conviction are enough for me to take your head.”
The Republic of Korea couldn’t afford to be hostile towards a [knight of vengeance], Arthur in this case, because of the life of [just] one member of the Korean National Assembly. Arthur was an existence who had already subjugated Japan with his own power, as he was a transcendent figure who had descended into modern times.
Though he wasn’t a full-fledged transcendent… no one on Earth could stop him.
“Hey, you, young man! Do you know who I am…”
Ping!
The sound of Arthur’s sword of light being swung was like the high notes of a stringed instrument being clearly plucked.
If one heard such a sound without knowing its origin, one would feel that the sound was impressive. It would make anyone stop and listen, no matter what they were doing.
Even though the sound was close to a celestial melodic sound, if heads rolled on the ground every time one heard such a sound, one wouldn’t help but feel a sense of fear and terror.
“And you…”
“Why, w-why are you…”
Seyoung laughed after seeing Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong visibly trembling. The representative tried to put up a resistance, but he easily succumbed to the dazzling lights that shone in front of his eyes.
“I see, you’re the strongest here.”
“…!!”
Obviously, what Seyoung was talking about here wasn’t physical strength.
In the first place, such power was useless in the political arena.
Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong often joked about being the most physically imposing figure within the Korean National Assembly, but physical fighting would only ruin his public image, so he never properly leveraged his physical attributes to gain political leverage. In truth, his real [strength] was of a different kind.
Although it seemed from the outside that Rep. Kim Hyun-Dong was just another member of the Korean National Assembly, in truth, his wealth and personal connections were so widespread and expansive that even the Korean president was wary of him. However, the scarier thing was that it was impossible to grasp just how powerful and influential the representative was without conducting a thorough and exhausting investigation of the representative’s background, as he made every effort to hide his true power. Seyoung was able to recognize, at first glance, Rep. Kim Dong-Hyun’s [social power] just by looking at him.
“I took care of the higher ups who were associated with my mom’s death, but there are many others, especially those who carried out all the dirty work. The guys who convinced and mobilized my mother… The guys who fanned the flame and made these dead guys mobilize on the plan… And all other related dregs… find them all and punish them to my satisfaction.”
“W-what… what... isn’t it already enough that you’ve taken these representatives’ lives? As for the legal grounds for why you disposed of them…”
“Make it happen.”
A beam of light exploded out from Seyoung’s eyes.
“Isn’t that what you and your kind do best?”
“Ugh…!”
“Ugh!”
Seeing everyone in the Korean National Assembly building stiffen after being suppressed by his overwhelming presence, Seyoung stretched out with his right hand.
