He carefully examined the badge on the red-haired beauty’s chest with his eyes. “Huh? An Adjudicator! You’re actually an Adjudicator! No wonder Fat Bennett is so afraid of you.”
Noah Bennett glared fiercely at Brian Carter, but didn’t refute him at all. What Brian Carter said was true—he was just the chief of police on a level-one civilized planet, less than an ant in front of an Adjudicator, let alone this beauty, who was a Silver Three-Star Adjudicator.
“Heh, even a primitive like you knows about Adjudicators?” the red-haired beauty said dismissively.
“Last year, the Adjudicator Guild set up a branch on Earth. I heard that Adjudicators are one of the most prestigious professions in the universe. I’m not exactly sure what makes them so prestigious, but in any case, all Adjudicators are very wealthy people.”
Noah Bennett said with a look of disdain, “As expected of a primitive from an uncivilized planet. How could the honor of an Adjudicator be compared to vulgar money?”
He suddenly realized this was a great opportunity to flatter the beautiful Adjudicator.
“Adjudicators and Recluses are known as the two super professions. They have priority access to most public facilities, can freely enter many planets that are not open to outsiders, and enjoy an interest-free loan limit of one million star coins, without even needing collateral.”
“If someone is defined as a criminal by the Adjudicator Guild, Adjudicators have the right to execute them directly, without being bound by any law. Every Adjudicator has one ultimate execution right—even if they use it to kill a president, they won’t be prosecuted.”
“Any act of killing an Adjudicator will be regarded as a declaration of war against the entire Adjudicator Guild. The criminal will be placed on the Guild’s super blacklist and hunted down permanently, never to the death!”
Brian Carter was fascinated by the Adjudicators’ many incredible privileges, his eyes lighting up. “I get it—Adjudicators are rich people who aren’t bound by the law! How can I become an Adjudicator?”
“Ha! A primitive who hasn’t even unlocked the seventh brain region wants to become an Adjudicator? That’s the biggest joke I’ve heard in my life.” The red-haired beauty said with a hint of arrogance, “I have other things to do. Little brother, goodbye.”
With that, the red-haired beauty turned to leave. The fat Noah Bennett immediately ran over and eagerly opened the iron door for her.
At the doorway, the red-haired beauty suddenly stopped in her tracks. “Wait, you’re a primitive. We probably won’t have a chance to meet again.”
Brian Carter didn’t care about her arrogant words; his mind was spinning rapidly.
“Wait.” Brian Carter, having made up his mind, quickly caught up to the door and calmly asked, “I want to know how you plan to deal with me.”
The red-haired beauty glanced indifferently at Noah Bennett.
“Of course we’re sending you back. Did you expect us to support you for the rest of your life?” Noah Bennett said irritably.
A slight smile curled at Brian Carter’s lips. He slowly extended a hand. “I was brought here by you for no reason. Because of your mistake, I’ve lost fifteen days and eight hours of my precious time. You need to compensate me for economic losses and emotional damages!”
Compensation for losses?
“You!” Noah Bennett said angrily, his face darkening. “Kid, don’t forget, we installed a translation chip for you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t understand our language or be able to read our writing. Do you know how much a translation chip costs? With your status as a human from a 0.5-level civilized planet, you couldn’t afford one even if you worked a hundred years without eating or drinking!”
Brian Carter suddenly understood and reached up to touch his neck. There was a faint red scar on the back of his neck, left by the installation of the translation chip.
“Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot about that. You should also add compensation for bodily harm. It’s not like I begged you to install this thing. Do you know how much it hurt?”
Noah Bennett was deeply disgusted by Brian Carter’s escalating demands and wished he could strangle Brian Carter on the spot. Helplessly, he glanced at the red-haired beauty. “What do you think?”
The red-haired beauty raised her head, a happy smile on her face. She was clearly amused by Brian Carter’s words.
“This is a matter for you secret police. What does it have to do with me?”
She then added, “But, you were indeed at fault first in this matter. You should provide some compensation.”
Noah Bennett forced a smile. “Yes, yes, you’re right. Our secret police bureau is a disciplined organization. Admitting and correcting mistakes is our tradition.”
“We’ll pay you three hundred star coins per day in compensation, for a total of sixteen days, which comes to four thousand eight hundred star coins. That should satisfy you, right?” Noah Bennett said to Brian Carter through gritted teeth.
Four thousand eight hundred star coins would be a fortune in Earth currency. Star coins are one of the universal currencies of the universe and can’t be compared to the Federation dollars on Earth. Who would be foolish enough to exchange star coins for the currency of a 0.5-level civilized planet?
Brian Carter shook his head. “I think it would be more reasonable for you to compensate me with a bottle of gene optimization fluid.”
“What!” Noah Bennett’s face changed dramatically. “Why don’t you just ask for a spaceship while you’re at it!”
