Seagull opened his mouth wide, as if wanting to argue.

But in the end, he gave up.

"What kind of mess is this, who could have thought all five were the culprits... With only me left, I really am too suspicious."

"I knew I shouldn't have had that crooked idea."

He sighed, looking dejectedly at Li Hua.

"How do you plan to punish me?"

Li Hua shook the golden radish in his hand: "That depends on what you originally intended to use this thing for."

Seagull tentatively spoke up: "I originally intended to keep it safe for Radish..."

Li Hua continued to look at him, saying nothing.

Seagull sighed: "Alright, alright... Although my first thought really was to keep this dangerous thing safe for him, I was indeed blinded by selfishness later."

"You know, my main area of activity is in the 'Black Marsh' realm. I planned to use this thing to control the 'Fallen Tribe'," Seagull sighed, "Our 『Night Watchmen』 are just too poor."

Li Hua's expression remained calm: "Then be a little poorer. I fine you 3000 personal forum points, and two weeks of confinement in the outer layer... I'll write the report when I get back, you go find your city's Chief Captain to receive it."

Seagull raised his hand: "Got it, got it, thanks for being lenient."

Lin Yu listened with great curiosity: "Confinement? How do you confine someone, in a detention center?"

"Of course not," Fu Luo whispered an explanation, "How come you, as a 『Order』 member, don't know this?"

"Because my boss is Good Night," Lin Yu pointed at the Korean man over there who had already secretly started using his phone to browse short videos and was frantically giving red hearts to a white, young, thin, dancing streamer, "He didn't introduce all the business to me thoroughly... Of course, I can't blame him entirely, after all, he just got out of the hospital not long ago."

Fu Luo was speechless, so he explained to Lin Yu: "Anyway, when 『Order』 arrests someone, some crimes aren't severe enough for death, so naturally there are options for fines and imprisonment."

"Fines deduct forum points, every city administrator has the authority for that."

"As for 'imprisonment'... this thing was cooked up by 『General』."

"He reached an agreement with the God of Fairness and Judgement and obtained a special 【item】, which takes the form of a regular 【Extra Dungeon Entry Card】... but after entering, you're teleported to the 'God of Judgement's' 'Eternal Cage', and you can only be released when the time is up."

"Depending on the severity of the offense, the time varies, and the place you enter also varies... The outer layer is the simplest, besides being pitch black there's nothing else, and jailers give you food."

"If it's the inner layer or the core, then you're in for a world of suffering!"

As Fu Luo spoke, Lin Yu nodded.

"So that's how it is..."

The functions of 『Order』 are quite comprehensive.

No wonder 『General』 could establish an organization to maintain player order; he actually has a way to deal with "players who violate the rules"!

Indeed, the number one on the rankings should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu felt even more fortunate and fearful.

For him to have run into 『Diviner』 in the last dungeon and escape unscathed was truly not easy!

"I still need to keep getting stronger."

While Lin Yu was pondering, Seagull, who had received his punishment, also slunk out of the room.

Li Hua also cleared his throat a few times: "Alright, since the thief has been caught and there is no culprit in this case... then this matter is concluded."

"Although I don't approve of your actions... they are not violations of the rules."

As he said this, Phoenix crossed her arms.

"You mean this matter is over?"

"Of course not, I will write this incident into a report and submit it, and publicly announce and inform all relevant parties of the entire process. Later, I will probably urge the 『Player Mutual Aid Association』 to elect new leadership," Li Hua said calmly, "I just won't pursue your accountability, but this matter is not over."

Hearing Li Hua's words, Hundred-Tempered Steel was the first to react.

"Hey, Li Hua... aren't you trying to make Radish's arrangements go to waste?"

"If his arrangements don't go to waste, the turmoil in the entire player community will be severe," Li Hua pushed up his glasses, "Moreover, the existence of the 『Player Mutual Aid Association』 does have meaning."

"Just like how the 『Hunters' Association』 supplements bounty and transaction methods outside the 'forum', the 『Player Mutual Aid Association』, as a public platform, is also a good platform for exchanging strategies and information. Its existence has value... Therefore, based on the stance and perspective of 『Order』, I cannot allow it to be turbulent and chaotic."

He said coldly.

"Of course, this doesn't represent the final plan... I will still wait for headquarters' instructions before taking action, but I believe they will approve my plan."

For a moment, the five people in the room who were involved in Radish's matter were somewhat speechless.

Even Paper Kite, also a 『Order』 member, didn't look too good.

Paper Kite looked at Li Hua and sighed as he said: "Brother Li, I finally understand what 『Secretary』 meant when he said you are the most 『Order』-like 『Order』 member."

"Do you really... have no feelings at all? Radish Grandpa is a good person, and what he did might also be beneficial to all players!"

"It has nothing to do with whether he is a good person or not," Li Hua pushed up his glasses, "As a 『Order』 member, even a former East China Region Inspector, you should be able to make the correct judgment..."

"No, your wording just now exposed it; you have indeed already made the correct judgment."

"You said it yourself, it's 'might'..."

"Have you thought about how much of this possibility is harmful?"

"Radish is very kind, but he indeed made a mistake in judgment on this matter—even if he could have foreseen Cassia Seed's death, he likely would have changed his mind!"

Li Hua said resolutely.

Paper Kite flushed red and finally lowered his head: "Fine!"

Hundred-Tempered Steel patted his shoulder.

Among the crowd, Chris spat: "Damn it, such a pretentious thing. That's why I say, I really hate dealing with you 『Order』 people."

"You guys are either administrators or 『Order』 or 『Hunters' Association』, I understand you are limited by your positions, but I am a bounty hunter."

"Gambler, remember this, this matter... I will see it through to the end!"

After saying that, Chris turned and left the room directly.

And his departure seemed like a signal for a "parting on bad terms."

Phoenix sighed and also left with Bright King following Chris.

Although the two didn't express a stance, it also seemed like a silent protest against Li Hua's actions.

Next were Hundred-Tempered Steel and Lotus.

In an instant, only Fu Luo remained in the room as the non-『Order』 member.

Good Night scratched his head: "Sibal, Li Hua, did you have to put it so harshly? Look, you've pissed off Paper Kite enough!"

"Because there is no room for maneuver in this matter."

Li Hua said, then looked at Lin Yu.

"Alright, Good Night, Paper Kite, you two take Furbollo and leave first."

"I have something to discuss alone with May May."
