Chapter 38- If your not playing dirty, your not trying

.

Around the world, many scheduled news programs where interrupted switching to a bright view of a mountain range with an elegant youth sitting in a straight backed chair who stared at the camera with a solemn expression.

"You may or may not have heard of me, but I am Mo Fan from China, the youngest Super Tier mage in the world." he said pausing as they took that information in. The program Ling Ling was using could even translate his words as he spoke with subtitles for other countries since he was currently speaking in Chinese.

"In an attempt to frame me, the Holy Court has accused me of killing a clan of innocent people just because I refused to become their puppet and they feared my growth" he said with such conviction.

He wasn't exactly lying either due to the keyword innocent. He didn't kill an innocent clan, he only killed the perpetrators of a vicious plot of stealing cultivation and the life of many just to fuel their clans magic weapon.

"Archangel Michael believes himself to be a God when in reality, he is just a pretender who struggles to uphold his dictatorship. That dark magic they claim I have, was a result of their experiments, but I broke out of their control and escaped. They are so scared of me growing to oppose them, that they would do anything to silence me despite the outcry.

To those higher ups of many organisations that are watching this I have a few words for you. Does the name Wentai ring a few bells? Staying silent is the same as being responsible remember that." he said pausing for a moment before he looked back up with a grin

"I'll play your game, one month from now, I will show up for a trial at the Holy city. The world will be my witness, and we will see whether the Holy Court will be as fair as they claim to be. No quick sketchy trial before you silence them. I truly am curious if there ability to threaten other organisations into submission, or the real truth will be the victor in the end. See you in a month"

The television cut back towards the scheduled news program where the reporters could be seen completely dumbstruck. A prodigy to a criminal, to a victim? Around the world this was the question as many began to doubt the Holy Court. A fierce debate began with some believing he was innocent, and others believing their was no way this could be true.

The major world organisations were mainly silent not commenting while the Holy Court almost immediately issued a statement which basically condemned him as a slanderous criminal looking to tarnish their reputation. Most people were on the side of the Holy Court since it is quite hard to believe one man since no one believed a righteous leader such as them would ever frame someone like that.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned man was currently lounging on a couch inside the Parthenon with his sister beside him. She had grown at a fast rate as well, and she was a high tier mage soon to approach the Super Tier. The support of an entire organisation certainly had its benefits.

"Brother, currently I am quite confident in my chances of becoming the Parthenon fairy, but they have been delaying the election" she said quite hesitantly. Since he had last seen her, she had been working hard to gain more support. Curing a plague in Croatia, healing wounded mages in sea battles off the coast, and many other things.

She had a large fan base in and outside the Parthenon and she was by no means inferior to the other fairy candidate Yiddish since Azalea had already dropped out. Her biggest motivation was using the support of the organisation to help her brother, yet the election that was supposed to already happen had been stalled for various reasons.

Most of it was due to the Holy Court interfering from the shadows to delay it bringing up different problems to slow it down. Itachi that they secretly backed Yiddish since they wanted to gain control of the Parthenon, and what better way was there than to have someone inside. Her thoughts were interrupted by a small cough from her brother "Don't forget you have me" he said mischievously implying he had something planned.

"What can I do to help?" she hurriedly asked in an eager manner which he found very cute "No need, don't want anyone accusing you of having anything to do with anything" he said patting her head as he stood up stretching his arms as he let out a yawn

"Come quick, fairy Yisha is engaging in abhorrent acts of adultery" shouted a panicked voice breaking the peaceful silence on the mountain as a group of knights rushed over.

Leading the charge was one of the Golden knights Norman who ran into the scene to see what the commotion was followed by many of his subordinates. The scene before them had them at a loss for words... A startled Yishaa was seen sitting up pulling bedsheets to cover her completely nude figure as she struggled to take in what was happening. To her side, was one of her attendants a male sleeping peacefully still not awakened yet similarily nude.

Some of the weaker willed knights had to 'adjust their waistbands' after catching a few glimpses of the naked beautiful black haired girl who continued to look around in a panic unsure of how she got into this situation. She had a striking headache and she looked around to see... bottles? She felt the bitter taste of alcohol in her mouth and she couldn't even remember what happened last night.

Suddenly she looked over her face filled with terror right next to him was Samuel one of her attendants completely naked lying beside her as she slowly took in the fact she was surrounded by tens of people staring at her with a mixture of expressions ranging from lust to horror "Wha- WHAT!!!!!"

The loud scream shook the mountainside causing a black cloaked figure nearyby to smile before he disappeared in a flash of Silver. Reappearing back in Shanghai he sighed contently collapsing on the couch "Mission complete" he said since the outcome of what he had arranged would be impossible for her to recover from.

'If they want to control the Parthenon through underhanded means, they can't expect me to play fair' he thought to justify his actions as he looked at the clock 'I should probably get back, I still have some work to do before the big finale' he thought with a sadistic grin as he once again disappeared...

"Michael what do you think of this?" one figure relaxing in a chair asked another handing over a tablet. On the tablet, was a video of Itachi's speech to the world that had already gained an insane amount of views. He continued to be a nuisance and they figured nothing short of sending a 14 winged Seraphim would be able to solve it. Angels with 14 wings were forbidden tier, while Michael and Ramiel both had 16 signifying they were something... greater

"He's trying to gain sympathy through his actions. He thinks the other organisations will actually help him. How naive" he said coldly looking through the post. He began to grow infuriated reading the comments that criticized the Holy Court "How Dare They Doubt Us" he almost hissed scathingly "Do they think their opinion actually matters" he said throwing it to he side as he calmed down.

"It will not matter anyway, if he truly does show up to the trial all we need is 6 black stones and he is going to the underworld" Ramiel said seemingly in deep thought. There are 11 stones representing different major organisations around the world including the Holy Court's vote. This may seem fair, but most of them were too scared to go against the hegemony of the world.

"4 are already secured" he said since those were practically under their control with how subservient they were. 'The others would naturally fall into line and no one would be able to doubt the final decision if the vote was unanimous' he thought excitedly before his he was interrupted by Ramiel

"He has been using the spatial element to move around undetected, and his affinity can't be low. Their have been some reports of him almost instantly going hundreds of miles to other countries" he said causing Michael to raise an eyebrow "So that's where he gets his confidence from?" he said laughing out loud with a sinister laugh much different than the lighthearted vibe he gave off in public "He would be truly naive to think he could even cast magic here if I desired it, much less teleporting away" he said laughing "All star systems in front of me are useless, he truly doesn't understand the distance between us.

"Just a useless type of magic for the weak incomparable to true magic." he said with a mocking smile looking back towards Itachi's face on the tablet screen

"Alright" he said coldly holding onto a weathered golden book in his hand "Let's see what gives you the confidence to defy me"
