However, Chen Lun didn’t pay much attention to this.
‘A Royal Duke… A big shot to ordinary people, yet he can hardly do anything to me. If I were merely a Mid Sequence Five, I might have some concerns, but now that I’m a high-ranking member of the Righteous God Church, backed by such power, a mere idle Duke trying to trouble me is laughable.’
Nine individuals, six men and three women, stood in a row at the front of the raised platform.
The Prince smiled warmly and walked up to them.
“Congratulations on joining the Imperial Judgement Group, and on becoming one of its members from now on.”
“It is our honor.”
A man with ordinary looks and long hair spoke and performed a bow.
Chen Lun glanced at him and thought:
‘Shadow Walker Hamilton… As expected, this guy is destined to join the Imperial Judgement Group, but I never anticipated that we’d be in the same cohort.’
The Prince gestured with his hand, and two young, beautiful maidservants approached with wooden gift boxes, one containing nine shimmering golden number tags and the other holding nine circular epaulettes.
“These are your identity tags, please keep them safe…”
The Prince handed out the number tags to each of the nine individuals and personally adorned them with the epaulettes, followed by a light chuckle.
“And these epaulettes are symbols of nobility, from now on all of you are Barons of the Empire, this honor is hereditary, I hope you will not disappoint the expectations of the Empire.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty the Prince!”
“We swear to defend the glory of the Empire with our lives.”
The group spoke hastily.
The Prince nodded slightly, then pointed towards the back where the Shelter seats were located.
“According to your numbers, you will be assigned to nine Judgement Chiefs. At tonight’s banquet, you can go and get acquainted with them.”

“Yes, Your Majesty the Prince.”
The group responded.
The Prince nodded his head, concluding the awarding ceremony.
But before he left, he made a special effort to look at Chen Lun and give him a slight smile. This act did not escape the eyes of the other eight new members of the Imperial Judgement Group; after all, they were all Sequence Five Transcendents.
Yet they were perplexed as to why the Prince was showing Chen Lun special regard.
Chen Lun sensed the confusion of his “colleagues,” but had no intention of explaining. He turned and left, making his way back to his seat.
“Leader, you’ve actually become a noble?!”
Connie covered her mouth in surprise and spoke softly.
“Should we now address you as ‘Lord Baron Jack’?”
Maggie added from the side.
“I think ‘His Excellency the Baron’ sounds better…”
Alec shrugged.
Chen Lun couldn’t help but smile and simply replied:
“As you will, but don’t make a fuss about it. Such a title is merely ceremonial and doesn’t carry any land or corresponding powers.”
“Oh…”
Connie and the others nodded somewhat understandingly.
At that moment, Chen Lun picked up his own number tag for inspection. The tag, crafted entirely of gold and the size of a finger, bore a series of numbers—
“01061.”
‘So, I’ll be assigned to the first team of the Imperial Judgement Group, under the command of Judgment Chief McCollin, Your Majesty… From the looks of the number, I am the sixty-first member.’
Chen Lun thought.
Based on this, the total number of members in the Imperial Judgement Group is probably around five to six hundred.
It seems like a small number, but all of these members are Mid Sequence Transcendents, and the vast majority are Sequence Six and Sequence Five; indeed, it’s a rather formidable force.
To draw a comparison, take the Generous Council inside, where the number of Golden Cup councilors doesn’t even exceed a hundred!
After all, the selection for the Imperial Judgement Group is extremely strict, usually only choosing from Executioner squad leaders, responsible persons of Shelters from various regions, and military commanders, which is why the Judiciary can be called the Empire’s highest martial institution.
Chen Lun looked up, searching for his future superior, McCollin, Your Majesty, in the front row, when he accidentally locked eyes with a pair of beautiful, clear eyes.
“Hmm?”
Chen Lun was somewhat surprised.
Those eyes belonged to the Sun Princess, who turned her head around, her calm gaze meeting Chen Lun’s eyes directly, her intentions hidden.
Without exchanging words, Chen Lun nonetheless felt as if the Princess seemed to want to convey a message to him. Seconds later, the Sun Princess withdrew her gaze and turned back around.
Chen Lun’s brows furrowed slightly as if he had realized something.
‘Anna Tresor… I remember that she is the usual narrator for the official game CGs from the developer, and besides…’
His thoughts drifted as if returning to that dark world.
‘I remember Arno’s sister is also named Anna…’
Chen Lun suddenly became lost in thought.
‘If they are the same person, then Arno’s identity… could it be that he is the Prince?!’
