Chapter 113 - Vol2 Ch11: The justice that was never served
At first, Wan Heng Yang only wanted to find proper justice for his daughter, as he couldn’t accept her unclear ‘accidental’ death.
But even when all the evidence had pointed to that person, just because of his high status, everyone ruled in his favour. Even his daughter’s mother was partial to that person, making it impossible for him to give his daughter the proper justice that she deserved.
He persisted for a total of 19 years, but those people continued to protect one another, continuing to protect that person. At one point, he was even prosecuted for defamation and slander of the judicial authorities. When that failed, they tried sending mental hospital staff to arrest him, almost succeeding in putting him into isolation treatment.
If it wasn’t for his personal connections, as well as media attention, he would’ve been sent to prison or a mental hospital already.
But in the end, justice for both him and his daughter never came.
“I just wanted to demand justice for my daughter, is that really too much to ask for?” if he had a choice, Wan Heng Yang would have chosen any other means, because using the wrong means to fight for justice would only render that justice meaningless. But now that all of his options had been exhausted and rendered useless, the only options left for him were the wrong means.
Sitting at the door of the courtroom, Wan Heng Yang looked down at another dismissal of his litigation request and fell into deep thought. He originally thought the death of a few of them would scare those people, but they still didn’t change.
His enemy was the most famous Authority Holder of the 6th domain.
Authority: [Medical Malpractice]. Medical malpractices were accidents in which the negligence of medical institutions and their staff led to further injury or even death of their patients.
Doctors and nurses were people too, they could make mistakes, and thus the Holder of this Authority, Zhao Shi Chang, became the most welcomed VIP guest of every hospital in existence.
Because of his Authority, Zhao Shi Chang was able to detect whenever medical malpractices occur and prevent them. This Authority allowed someone who was originally a normal salaryman to become the literal best doctor in the entire world.
And it was such a person that caused Wan Heng Yang’s tragedy. When he went from being a normal salaryman to a person in power, Zhao Shi Chang completely let go of his desires. After all, for the wealthy and powerful, the fear of death was a shared trait, and for those who valued their lives above anything else, his ability was nothing short of mandatory. This meant that as long as he didn’t seek death too openly and go past the bottomline, all of these people were his strongest backing.
Wan Heng Yang covered the pained expression on his face with his hands, Wang Zhao’s Authority of [Crime Disaster] had caused him to gradually grow more and more insane in his pain.
“I have nothing left to fear” Wan Heng Yang was walking towards a certain residential district. His ex-wife, his daughter’s mother was living here, she had already divorced that scumbag several years ago.
“What are you doing here!” as soon as the woman saw Wan Heng Yang, her expression became fierce: “Why hasn’t a mad man like you been locked up in a mental hospital!? I already told you, it was an unfortunate accident, it was simply little Lin’s time to go, I don’t know anything about her death. Don’t bother me anymore, I’m begging you”
“You’ve always known about it, haven’t you?” Wan Heng Yang’s expression was indifferent: “You’re just deceiving yourself and those around you, trying to escape your guilt. But you couldn’t, you won’t ever escape that guilt, not for the rest of your life”
“She was your daughter. Your inaction will only haunt you and bring you more pain. People who pretend to sleep may not be woken up, but they’re also never going to be able to sleep!” Wan Heng Yang smiled villainously: “You will remember, you will ever be able to escape!”
Looking at the warped expression of his ex-wife who seemed even worse-off than himself, Wan Heng Yang turned around and left. People pretending to sleep won’t wake up, but they knew about it better than anyone else. This would keep haunting her, driving her to madness for the rest of her life.
After returning to his house, Wan Heng Yang began to pack his luggage. He was going on a date, not with a lover, but with his daughter, and he didn’t want to let his daughter see a sloppy appearance.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Wan Heng Yang laughed in satisfaction. He knew that he was currently in an abnormal state, he also knew that this was due to Wang Zhao’s Authority, he had been dominated by his own pain and his love for his daughter.
But it didn’t matter. If he didn’t have such thoughts in the first place, Wang Zhao’s Authority wouldn’t have done anything.
This was the same reason why people who blamed alcohol for something like drunken sex were spouting nothing but bullshit.
If such thoughts didn’t exist in the first place, they would only fall asleep when they were drunk, not perform actions that required such specific and precise movements. Not everyone had their own built-in navigation and guidance system.
Alcohol only had an amplifying effect, by making people’s minds simpler, the thoughts people already had were greatly amplified.
At least, this was how Wan Heng Yang understood it. He was already prepared to take personal justice in his desperation after all his other options had been exhausted, Wang Zhao’s ability only played an inducing and strengthening role.
But he underestimated Wang Zhao’s ability. His ability made Wan Heng Yang a lot more insane than he originally was, completely losing his sanity and ignored everything except revenge. The wish for justice in his heart had already disappeared and his thinking was distorted. The simple fact was that he worked hard for so many years without ever receiving the justice that he deserved.
Under the influence of the [Crime Disaster], he completely lost all hope for this heartless society, he wanted revenge, the craziest kind of revenge.
Under some guidance, a certain thought formed in Wan Heng Yang’s mind:
Why did that person get preferential treatment? Because he was an Authority Holder? Then let me show you the disaster that an Authority Holder can unleash.
Without knowing, Wan Heng Yang thoroughly lost himself into Wang Zhao’s Authority, becoming unsympathetic to the possible injury and death of strangers who were innocent.
According to the information that Wang Zhao gave him, the new Disaster King Fang Ze had yet to be able to utilize his immense Disasforce, so as long as his guards were excluded, he was only a high school student powerless to resist being killed.
His Authority couldn’t do anything to the scumbag Zhao Shi Chang, but it was just perfect to deal with the newly born Disaster King. With the cooperation of those people, he was confident in being able to drive the newly born Disaster King to death.
“When the stars shine brighter and brighter in the sky, it will be time for those people to pay for their actions” Wan Heng Yang’s eyes were bloodshot, fully unleashing the beast of crime in his heart.
…
Meanwhile, Noah had also gone out with a few personal items. He was travelling extremely slowly on foot, not going by his own car or taxi. He occasionally stopped as he walked, observing anything he found interesting on his way.
This made the two policemen who were tailing him from far behind felt extremely bored. They weren’t slacking on their job, but they weren’t paying much attention to Noah either. And since they weren’t members of the D.E.R division, they would naturally not be that serious with doing D.E.R division’s work.
The two men were recording Noah’s actions in a straightforward manner. They didn’t care to question why Noah didn’t care about the transaction regarding his crow farm. As long as Noah didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, they wouldn’t specifically appear to remind him and just stick to the simplest form of note-taking.
