Jaehwan interrupted him. “Stop. I get it.”

  The guards immediately turned to Jaehwan.

  “So you want to arrest me?”

  Everyone moaned. No one had spoken like that to Karlton in the last 10 years. Karlton did not change his expression but every soldier knew. Karlton was really angry now.

  “If you do not have the ‘Certification’, I might have to do that.”

  “Why do I need that to prove myself?”

  “Because you need it. Everyone here uses it to prove themselves.”

  “What does it contain?”

  “Your true name, organization, class, skills and status, criminal record, corruption rate of the spirit and……”

  “Then I really don’t need that ‘Certification’.”

  Karlton raised his eyebrows. Everyone in had a certification and used it to identify themselves. It was one of the few ways to prove themselves in . But this man was denying its importance.

  “I don’t understand you. How are you going to prove yourself?”

  “I won’t prove myself.”

  Karlton was shocked. It was a rare case for an Adapter to be this defiant throughout his 55 years of duty. Most Adapters could not resist the bind that his law readings gave them. He didn’t just read the laws for no reason.

  Skill [Order of Law]

  It was a skill only a few people in the fortress could acquire. Karlton was the only one who was allowed to learn even though he was only a gate captain. Even 3rd stage adapters could not resist his [Order of Law].

  However, this man easily ignored it. What was weirder was that it was Karlton who had received damage by using the skill. A spirit that not even [Order of Law] could break through. Karlton was astonished.

  ‘He seems to be proving himself by not proving himself.’

  How was that possible?
