Chapter 722: Chapter 425: The Rectification Begins_4

"Over the years, I often lamented my bad fortune, secretly complaining that it was my lowly background that caused me to lose to Lin Ronald. I always felt that I was steady and reliable, and if I had been a little luckier, I would have been the East Prison Town Commander."

"It wasn’t until recently that I understood the true difference between myself and someone like Master Lane. Even without Lin Ronald or Master Lane, I would never have been able to come close to the position of Commander."

Owen Bertram’s decision wasn’t based solely on interests, because elusive factors like "justice," "public opinion," and "obsession" could also influence many things in the unseen world.

If he were in Master Lane’s position, he would definitely compromise and cooperate with the Ronald Clan, losing the "greater good" on his side and his own understanding.

When faced with great difficulties, the most reasonable choice in his mind seemed to be compromise if overcoming them seemed difficult in the face of "reality."

Yet, Master Lane would try to overcome these difficulties at all costs!

He remained steadfast, even if the price was terrifying. He was determined to obtain the Second Medal of Authority to "judge" and gain complete control of the East Prison Town Comfort Office, and then defeat the Ronald Clan! This enterprising spirit was exactly what Benjamin Larkin lacked, and it was the fundamental reason why he could never rise to a higher position.

Benjamin Larkin wholeheartedly conceded and submitted to Owen Bertram: "I will pass on the order now and gather all my men at the two revered Lord’s groups to accept Master’s judgment!"

If he had obediently followed Owen Bertram’s orders earlier, he might not have had to face the "judgment," and his subordinates might have received Owen Bertram’s leniency. But now, they had to experience this First Tribulation.

Owen Bertram had painstakingly obtained the "judgment" authority in order to judge the entire East Prison Town Comfort Office!

Owen Bertram had previously discussed with Abner Lane about winning over the East Prison Town Comfort Office while ensuring it wouldn’t be paralyzed. If they had followed the usual method, it would be Owen Bertram’s initial plan to stabilize both sides of the river first and then gradually infiltrate and control.

Because if they genuinely tried to punish the scum within the East Prison Town Comfort Office on a large scale, it would make everyone feel threatened and unite against Owen Bertram, leading to the paralysis of the whole office.

Since they all came from the Horizon Bureau, who wouldn’t know what handling cases entailed? There would be many cases of wrongful convictions.

However, with the "judgment" authority, these issues were easily resolved. By gathering the Military Officers, Owen Bertram could naturally expose the true "ringleaders."

Although the East Prison Town Comfort Office was rotten to the core, most people, especially the lower-ranking Military Officers, were similar to Felix, who had no choice but to go with the flow and take the money, reluctantly following the ringleaders in carrying out heinous acts.

By accurately identifying these ringleaders using the "judgment" authority, the remaining officers who were found not guilty could be used, left to atone for their crimes and ensure the normal operation of the East Prison Town Comfort Office.

By accurately identifying these "ringleaders," the other Military Officers wouldn’t feel threatened and band together to rebel.

The key positions vacated by these ringleaders could be filled by Owen Bertram’s own people, allowing smooth control over the entire East Prison Town Comfort Office.

However, this plan required great effort from Owen Bertram, who, as the Commander of the Sixth Great Realm and East Prison Town Comfort Office, had to individually "judge" and weed out criminals in each revered Lord’s Group.

Moreover, it could be anticipated that Owen Bertram might even need to go to the Prescott Group to carry out "judgment" later on.

And soon, they would face the full-scale obstruction and counterattack from the Ronald Clan!

Owen Bertram also understood that compared to Colby Dominic, he wasn’t a qualified "superior." He refused to compromise when he should have, but his obsession drove him to bear the heavy burden of Cause and Effect, unable to tolerate the scum of the earth like the Ronald Clan!
