Chapter 1052 Are the Fields Easily Pushed Around?
The midday sun scorched the plaza outside Brighton University's undergraduate teaching building.
The trees lining the square stood motionless as if trapped in a moment of stillness.
Beneath the oppressive sunlight, thousands of spectators packed the open space, yet not a single sound emerged.
A heavy, uneasy silence weighed on the crowd, thick with anticipation.
Like a brewing storm in the distance, tension swelled, ready to erupt in fury.
Then, without warning, a sudden gust of wind sliced through the stifling heat, momentarily breaking the suffocating stillness.
High above the plaza, the banner of faith—woven with sacrifice and honor—suddenly whipped to life, flaring boldly in the wind.
A storm was brewing, its fierce gusts howling through the towering structure.
The once stifling and suffocating teaching building now seemed to breathe as if breaking free from invisible chains.
Students who had stood in stunned silence, and dignified men weighed down by grief and anger, began to stir.
Their once dim eyes, clouded with disappointment and sorrow, now burned with intensity, cutting through the haze of sunlight and swirling dust.
Blinded by the glaring sunlight, Eugene felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. What a magnificent and overwhelming spectacle!
Seven distinguished Lords with silver hair.
Twenty high-ranking military officers stood rigid and expressionless, their presence exuding an icy authority.
Rows of royal guards armed with live ammunition.
And the formidable internal security guards of the Special Operations Military Region.
The Anti-Riot Enforcement Team from Investigation Division 7.
The Riot Control Unit 7 of the Draconia Police Headquarters.
Legal Affairs Inspection Team of the Southville Anti-Corruption Enforcement Bureau.
These high-ranking, godlike figures and formidable forces had all assembled in one place!
Their sheer presence transformed the sunlit, dust-filled square into an intense and unsettling scene, heavy with gloom and hostility.
But why had these seasoned veterans gathered here?
Could it be that Zev asked the higher-ups to intervene in this matter for Yvonne's sake?
Logically speaking, that had to be the case.
How could the higher-ups possibly allow a retired nobody like Robin to stir up chaos on Brighton University's campus?
If there were no consequences for such defiance, what kind of order would that be?
Peering through the crowd, Eugene caught sight of Yvonne, groveling beside Robin.
Not far from them, the unsettling evidence of a recent killing remained untouched.
<i>Robin had </i><i>completely</i> <i>lost</i> <i>it</i><i>!</i>
<i>Just</i> <i>how</i> <i>much</i> <i>chaos</i> <i>did</i> <i>this</i> <i>man</i> <i>have</i> <i>to</i> <i>create</i> <i>to</i> <i>draw</i> <i>all</i> <i>of</i> <i>Draconia's</i><i> top </i><i>elites</i> <i>to</i> <i>the</i> <i>scene</i><i>?</i>
Pushing through the sea of people, Eugene finally spotted Hunter standing rigidly in the center of the plaza, his expression cold and unreadable.
Wasting no time, Eugene rushed forward and called out, "Commander Baxter, I've finally found you!
"Robin retired from your Special Operations Military Region—just look at the mess he's caused!
"He didn't just take a life—he even tried to kill my daughter! Commander Baxter, you have to uphold justice for us civilians!"
Hunter let out a cold snort. "Uphold justice for you? So you're saying your daughter has the right to slander, humiliate, and treat others' lives like they're worthless?"
Eugene froze for a moment. "Commander Baxter, that's not what I was trying to say.
"Think about it—we hold the same rank, shouldn't we be supporting each other?
"I'm the deputy director of the Inspection Bureau, and you are the commander of the military region. We're both part of the same system ... "
"Smack!" Before he could finish, Hunter's hand struck Eugene's face with a sharp slap.
