The temperature in the room was equal to that of food being reheated inside an oven. However, none of the spectators were feeling it as Izzy and Erika had wrapped them inside a curtain of coldness.
Adulu, his lawyers, and the judge were the only ones suffering from him.
"Violence isn't allowed inside a court…" the judge mumbled as he tried escaping by using his artifact.
However, Noah was one step ahead of him. He directly appeared beside the judge and snatched the artifact right from his hands.
Noah reappeared beside Eve while casually tossing a scroll in the air. The temperature finally stabled at 70 degrees after a few minutes as all those feeling its wrath started feeling dehydrated.
Their brains also felt as though they were being turned to mush yet Noah wasn't going to let them die.
"Let's see. I'm sure that if the news about all of you ending up dead due to me got out, people will be chasing after me. The worst thing is that the media is present here." Noah stated before looking directly at the media.
The majority of them flinched visibly as Noah yawned. He turned his attention back to the judge before saying in a
"Let's see. For corruption, crimes against humanity, and for indulging in illegal sexual activities, I sentence you to permanent sleep, etc, etc."
"D-Didn't you say that you won't do anything in front of the media?" The judge found some courage hidden deep inside his heart as he looked at Noah in fear.
"Huh? Who said I was killing you?" Noah looked confused. "You are just going to sleep for a long time which is completely natural. I had no hands in it."
"…"
The judge had no words left to be spoken as he had simply been knocked unconscious by another ten-degree rise in temperature.
The same applied to Adulu and his lawyers as they crashed down one by one. Noah suddenly made the temperature come back to normal before looking at the unconscious people with curiosity.
Dark needles suddenly shot out from the tip of his fingers as they flew and embedded themselves in the skulls of the unconscious people.
Noah tinkered around a bit as the needles entered their skulls. From there onwards, he made them fall asleep permanently.
"Looks like my words did the magic. All of them are soundly asleep now." Noah muttered a few seconds later before turning to look at the media. "Make sure that all of you mark it as a natural phenomenon."
Noah then raised his right index finger in their direction as a few sparks of lightning shout out from his finger.
The sparks of lightning shot from one person to another as they short-circuited the electronic devices recording the scene.
Noah did the same thing with the cameras present in the room as he destroyed all pieces of evidence of the court session.
The media also knew that they couldn't take his words lightly. For all they knew, they were next in line for falling permanently asleep.
'This was a slightly stupid way but I get more benefits out of this. I am leaving this place soon anyway and after that, everything is history.'
Noah knew that he had tried a risky thing by leaving behind witnesses but it was necessary to send a message to others.
Many of the media members would spread the news about the events to the higher-ups in the city and without any sort of proof, there was nothing anyone could do.
Adding the people Noah put to permanent sleep, people would steer clear of those him and those around him.
Ironically, Noah had used the government's corrupt system against themselves.
'It's a foolproof plan. He definitely got those genes from me.' Erika nodded her head approvingly as she knew what Noah was planning to do.
"Anyways, since the judge can't act anymore, I will give the necessary verdict," Noah muttered to himself before appearing beside the judge once again.
He then took out a few documents and put the seal of approval that every judge had with them. They were legally binding seals all over the kingdom and no one could fake them.
"Let's go back," Noah said while appearing near Adulu's body. He dropped one of those documents on the table in front of Adulu before walking out of the room.
Eve followed him with an awestruck expression, Erika, Izzy, and her family trailing behind her.
'He did change but I guess he still isn't affected by power.' Rebecca thought slowly before looking at her daughter with a soft expression. 'He didn't do anything to her despite the provided opportunity. It would be stupid to stop them from getting close to each other.'
Rebecca's opinion about Noah had once again reached a high level. Though she still felt the need to talk to him once before giving him and Izzy some freedom.
'I will talk to him once we get back home.' Rebecca thought at last as Noah stopped Eve in the lobby.
"Thank you for your help. Here are a few things for you." Noah smiled while handing Eve a few documents.
The latter glanced at them curiously but in less than a few seconds, her curiosity turned to shock.
One of the documents in her hands removed all of the debt she had on her head alongside the interest as well.
Another one made her eligible to collect the taxes of 10% percent of Adulu's properties as compensation.
The last few ones were papers of scholarships to any university or magical academy that she wanted to enter.
Eve's eyes turned slightly red as she could feel tears threatening to leak out of the corners.
"T-Thank you…" she said while trembling.
"No need. I got what I wanted and you got the same." Noah shook his head before he bid his farewell to Eve.
The redhead stared at his back for a few minutes before bolting out of the building and making her way to the local government bank present in the southern direction of the city.
Noah watched her go with a smile on his face before looking at the two papers in his hands.
"What are those?" Erika asked curiously while glancing at the papers.
"One of them is a paper that allows you to collect hundred percent of your income even after retiring or resigning. The other one allows you to kill people under certain conditions including self-defense." Noah replied with a grin.
"…" Erika had realized that Noah was cunning but this was next level for her.
"What? Don't look at me that way. These just accidentally ended up there and I put the seal on them. It would be a waste to not use them." Noah handed the two papers to Erika before walking away to talk with Izzy.
'He definitely got those genes from me.' Erika thought with a small smile before going over the papers in detail.
Noah on the other hand was ready to get back to his life of correcting the wrongs that he had experienced.
'That's one case closed. There are many left but for now, I am going to spend some time with Izzy and Erika.'
