On the other side, his wife had calmed down. She didn’t think she had a way out earlier, which was one of the reasons she was angry that her husband cut off the one way to know who killed her daughter.
But now she knows that she has another way. This way that she has discovered is frowned upon and will be disliked by everyone, but it is definitely better than offending eight epic beings and fighting them to the death.
What she has decided upon might be dislike by the powerful people in thr city, but it will also force them to take actions to rectify her problems. She only cares about finding the murderer of her child right now, so she doesn’t care much about thr repercussions of her actions.
Now that she has found a way and has made up her mind, she didn’t hesitate to put her plan into action. Just like she barged into her husband’s study with determination, she is determined to go ahead with this plan even if she will be reprimanded heavily for doing so.
She sent letters to people and called in favors. Everyone responded to her and helped her. It was as if the world was helping her. Soon, she was able to fix a meeting with a notorious bounty hunter.
She met with the bounty hunter and hired him to help her find the murderer of her child. The case was tricky, but the bounty hunter was willing to do the job because she was paying heavily.
She told the bounty hunter to hide and keep their transaction a secret. She did because she didn’t want people to know what she had done.
Hiring a bounty hunter is not illegal by any means. But when the place is Reinfield City and the bounty hunter is a godclad belonging to the pathway of justice, then whoever hired the bounty hunter will be punished heavily by the controllers of Reinfield City.
There are many pathways that are hated in the world. Some might say slavers are the most hated. Some would pick the pathway of killing or telepathy as the pathway they hate the most. But for nobles, the pathway they hate the most is the pathway of justice.
The nobles’ hatred for the pathway of justice has a clear reason. It is nothing more than the struggle for power.
Nobles want the power to be able to control everything in their territory, including the lives of the general populace. Judges stand on the opposite side of nobles and fight selflessly for the freedom and prosperity of the general populace.
These two differing goals clash and cause hatred between the two pathways. The hatred is so bad that judges can’t use the divine artifacts of the pathway of nobles.
Nobles can’t use the divine Artifact of the Pathway of Justice either. But that’s a common thing. The god of justice has decreed that no one can use the corpses of judges as weapons, so no one can use the divine artifacts of the pathway of justice.
Probably only thieves can circumvent this decree and use the divine artifact of the pathway of justice. This makes judges unlikeable and shunned wherever they go. After all, there is nothing but trouble to be gained if a judge dies.
But aside from this reason and the hatred between nobles and judges, there is another reason why most godclads hate judges. That reason is that judges are snitches.
Not every judge is a lamp bearer, but every judge has to work for the god of justice in one way or another. Even if the judge doesn’t agree and doesn’t want to do anything for the god of justice, they will still become informants for the god of justice.
If the god of justice wants to know something and asks the judges in his pathway, whoever in the pathway knows what is asked must tell the god of justice or be destroyed.
It is true that they are being forced by the god in their pathway, but still, no one wants to have judges around them. No one wants to have anything to do with a pathway of snitches that can tell when people are lying.
The identity of a snitch and the hatred of nobles combined to make judges banned from Reinfield City. This ban is not public information, but it is not just lip service. Nobles execute it vigorously.
Not many people know that lamp bearers have been in the city. But for those that know, they know that the ban is why there is no base of lamp bearers in the city.
Judges who enter the city are suppressed in one way or another, forced to leave, or made to die through various accidents. Every noble knows this, which is why Celine’s mother knows that hiring a judge is a bad idea.
But she has no other choice apart from doing that. The rank 5 divine ability of judges is called Truth Seeker. It is an ability that helps judges see through illusions and deceit.
With Truth Seeker, a judge can tell the truth apart from lies. So a rank 5 judge will be able to find out who killed her daughter.
One can imagine why judges are so disliked. Not many people want someone who can tell when they are lying around them.
But Celine’s mother still went ahead with this unpopular plan. Just like she expected, it backfired quickly.
She tried to keep her plan secret, but it still got out that she had hired a bounty hunter. Even the identity of the bounty hunter as a judge became public knowledge.
There were just too many people who knew that she had tried to contact this particular judge. Many people saw her meet the judge, and many people knew that she took the judge to interrogate her two sons immediately after the meeting.
When the nobles of the city found out, they moved to punish her. They took away her privileges. She lost ownership of land and buildings in the city, and she was confined to her house, unable to leave it.
