Chapter 821 Metropolis Justice - Part 1

Chapter 821 Metropolis Justice - Part 1

"General Vual, please get up." Rex smiled when he saw General Vual kneeling right in front of him, pledging his fealty towards the new king. Ever since Rex had full control over the Demon Metropolis, he had been busy looking through the policies that had been made by King Baal and his predecessors. Without anyone disturbing him, he had delved deep into all the paperwork in the office and only got out for occasional mails which he placed at the door for his servants to deliver.

This was the first time that Vual finally had a physical face to face contact with his King and thus his kneel. "This is my office, not the throne hall. You don't have to abide by some sort of protocol when you are in here." Rex quickly dismissed the need for Vual to reassure his fealty.

"Thank you, my King." The General who had presented calmness and logic above all had been appointed as the right-hand man for Rex after the Panda Remnant had declared himself the city's new ruler. (Of course, the System had a hand in changing his allegiance as well.)

During the 24-hours recapture period, the Demon Nobles who hadn't participated in the assault against the Pandapolis had decided to band together all for the sole purpose to challenge him. (Even though he had warned all of them that he and his colleagues had defeated the entire Royal family, they kept coming at him as if that warning does not matter at all.)

"Now I understand why Moloch was extremely concerned about the state of the city," Rex concluded after he went over the current laws and decrees as well as the leftover letters and envelopes. The number of complaints from various advisors had been left ignored in a corner, and Rex was shocked to discover that this city was nearly at the brink of collapse were it not for its predatory way of conducting dungeon raids to keep it alive.

"But with your reign, I hope that these flawed issues can finally be righted." Vual bowed a little when he stated his wish.

"Hahaha! I certainly plan on doing exactly that. For now, we shall clean up the mess left by the previous administration. Assemble all of the officials in charge of the various ministries to meet up in the Grand Meeting Hall." Rex ordered.

"Understood." Vual immediately went to fulfil his objective while Rex called up Evon via the System Channel.

"I'm getting Vual to bring the ministers and advisors to the Grand Meeting Hall. Are you ready with your drugs?" Rex asked, and Evon was already grinning from ear to ear.

"I have prepared the truth serum and a bunch of other stuff in case we need it. I aim to please my King. " Evon teased Rex with his new title which the latter rolled his eyes away, but Kiyu supported Evon's teasing fully.

"My King, do you require some additional performance to quell your need for entertainment during the minister bashing party? If so, this humble butterfly is willing to dance for your sake~!" Kiyu offered with 'grace'.

"I heard bashing. I am willing to bash those corrupt ministers until their bones turn to dust." Ixel volunteered enthusiastically.

"Ah, let me have some fun with them as well! I suggest we should live stream it all and put it on national TV for everyone to see. Once they see what kind of fate awaits corrupt guys, no one will want to risk it. At least they'll learn that we are going to reform the city." Kraft added on, and Rex snapped back at all of them.

"You guys! I love you all but NO! This is meant to portray as the good guys, not some evil goons! I want to show the Demons that the future for them will be bright...well erm bright enough, hehe. Though I agree that broadcasting it citywide should be great entertainment and prove educational." Rex stated in a domineering tone.

"Tsu, Kai, mind doing the honours?"

"Definitely. We've rebelled for righteousness and justice. If this Metropolis is a step to do so for our real world, I do not mind." Tsu said, and his brother agreed to it by proceeding to the Mages Broadcast station and started to use Rex's name to prep the national telecast.

--------------

"No, Sir! We cannot do that even though the King has the absolute right to our city!" The broadcast director refused to comply and was ready to defend the schedule that was placed on their current broadcast station.

"How about this?" Kai asked again as he dropped a bag on the table and when the director saw wads of dungeon dollars in it, he coughed and changed his tune almost immediately.

"Well, if you all insist. I should be able to squeeze a slot out for the new King to address his people." The Director 'graciously' allowed the twin brothers request and suddenly Tsu disappeared from his sight and slammed the director's head on the ground, causing a few Demon Guards who had been standing outside the room to rush in.

"As of 1040hrs, Director Gutelamo, you are hereby arrested for accepting bribery and shall be persecuted under the new anti-corruption decree which King Rex had signed this morning. Guards! Bring him to the New Central Police Station for questioning!" Kai shouted as Tsu grinned quietly while holding the broadcast director down. His palm had also generated enough chi to burn the director's head away if he decided to do something nonsensical.

"Wow, you guys are fast." Rex was a bit taken aback when he learned that Tsu and Kai had spared no effort in enforcing the law that he had placed about an hour ago.

"Swift justice and free the oppressed. That's the whole point of getting this Demon Metropolis, right?" Kai asked with an audible grin via the System Channel.

"Are you not afraid that the Metropolis people will rebel against us?" Pei, who had been on the sidelines, had listened in on the conversation. "Not everyone will like it."

"That's the rich minority. As long as we have the majority on our side, we can change this Metropolis into a better place. If it succeeds, we can possibly recruit other monsters and maybe humans to join us too." Rex defended the action of the brothers before he told Tsu and Kai to hurry the broadcast since most of the advisors had already arrived.

"General Vual reporting via the System Channel. Sorry to interrupt this channel, but as instructed, I have placed guards around the Grand Meeting Hall to ensure none of these advisors escaped. Some of our officers have also managed to convince a few of the richer nobles to participate in this meeting, stating that it concerned the state of the New Metropolis."

"Excellent work, General Vual. I look forward to our future work together!"

Rex clipped a grey overcoat over his formal business suit and started to walk with modern grandiose towards the Grand Meeting Hall.

"For a better Metropolis. For a better life. For the poor and discriminated." General Vual renewed his vows in the System Channel, and the foxes cheered. (Even Pei unknowingly hoped for it too.)

"Exactly, time for the much needed culling. Let's prove that our resolve from the past has remained resolute to this day!" Rex said as he walked down the stairs.
