Chapter 87 She Wanted It, She Got It
The hearing room was eerily quiet.
The platform collapsed, the projection disappeared, and all the councilors fell from it.
Megatron obtained temporary reorganization authority over the Calon Military District, and the matter of the leader of Orion was also forcibly reorganized to "wait for confirmation by the person himself before proceeding".
On the surface, the hearing seemed to be nearing its end.
Even the vector itself thinks so.
Her inner fire was still burning; the chaos just now had been intense, but at least she hadn't suffered any real loss.
Just as she was thinking this, Master Titanium suddenly spoke up casually from the side.
"but."
The moment that sound came out, the atmosphere, which had just relaxed a little, immediately became tense again.
The vector is tilted to look over.
Master Titanium was still standing next to the pile of broken platform fragments, his tone even carrying a hint of gentle negotiation.
"This child has endured such a long scolding and been talked to so much today."
"We can't just talk for nothing, can we?"
Vector: ...?
She was taken aback at first, not expecting that Master Titanium would continue the conversation at this point.
The expressions on the faces of the councilors over there immediately turned sour.
Yutiandi's expression was already cold, and now his brows furrowed even more, as if he instinctively realized that Master Tai's next words wouldn't be anything that would make them feel comfortable.
Master Titanium certainly didn't disappoint them.
He glanced at the vector, then slowly scanned the other members of parliament, and casually brought up something that should have been brought up anyway.
"They can judge both events and people."
"They can talk, and they can plan. They have evidence, and they're clear-headed. They may argue and make a fuss, but in the end, they know they should stick to the facts."
"I think it's quite suitable."
The vector blinked the optical lens.
What is suitable?
Before she could react, a member of parliament interrupted her in a cold voice.
"Master Titanium".
"Things have been chaotic enough today. Unless there are other urgent matters, we should call it a day."
"Yes, it's quite a mess." Master Titanium nodded, actually admitting it. "That's why we should fill in the gaps where they need to be filled."
When the vector saw Sentinel Prime's gaze darken, it became as gloomy as a knife.
The other councilors on the sidelines were visibly tense, and the attention of those in the outer seats, who had been preparing to disperse, refocused.
Even the group chat suddenly came alive.
97: "Wait."
Knocked down: "This is fun."
Red Spider: "What is he trying to say?"
The sound wave didn't speak, and the laser bird remained steadily on the outer edge, even getting closer.
Master Tai seemed completely oblivious to the tense expressions on other people's faces, and his tone remained calm.
"The position of Chief Justice has been vacant for too long."
The hearing room was now truly quiet.
The vector was stuck in place for half a second.
what?
No.
and many more.
She glanced at Master Titanium subconsciously, then at the senator's expression, and her brain module didn't immediately catch on.
Chief Justice?
Is this what she meant?
A member of parliament nearby couldn't help but speak up, his tone much harsher than before.
"That's impossible!"
"The position of Chief Justice has been vacant for so long, and it is not a topic that can be brought up casually."
"The requirements are too high, the scope is too broad, and it's not something you can just touch any machine."
Master Titanium looked over calmly and said, "I didn't say you could touch just any machine."
After the vector stood there stunned for a moment, the brain module finally started to rotate.
She had heard the term "Chief Justice" before, but had never thought of it happening to her.
She only realized when she glanced at the information before that this place had been empty for too long, so long that it was like something covered in dust in legends. When Master Tai suddenly mentioned it, her first reaction was actually a bit of confusion, thinking, "This thing is actually still here?"
Master Tai seemed to realize that she hadn't fully reacted, so he glanced at her and spoke in his usual natural tone.
"After all, it's a judicial decision-making body. When it's vacant, many things become more convenient, but it also leads to chaos for too long."
"Now that we've come this far, someone on the legal side has to take over."
He spoke slowly, and didn't even look at her specifically when he explained.
The quotient vector immediately reveals itself—judicial ruling, legal authority, this is no empty name.
She then went to see how the other people reacted.
Sentinel Prime seemed to have no intention of hiding his killing intent, and the other councilors were clearly unhappy, with even more intense hushed discussions breaking out in the outer seats.
This position carries considerable power; once you're in it, it's not a position that can be easily fooled.
She was initially just stunned, but as she thought of this, her expression in the optical glasses slowly changed.
From "What did you say?" to "Oh", and then to "I see".
And in the end, only one very simple thought remained.
She wants this.
Master Titanium continued, slowly retracing his words.
"The requirements are high, that's the truth. You need to understand the law, be reasonable and able to distinguish right from wrong, be bold and decisive, and not be led astray."
"The reason it's been empty for so long is because you yourselves know that putting something unsuitable on top would only make it look worse, right?"
After those few words were spoken, the expressions on the faces of those councilors were already quite unpleasant.
This exposes their underlying reason for deliberately leaving the Chief Justice position vacant—they didn't want to give an opportunity to someone who could truly manage, provide checks and balances, and make them uncomfortable on certain issues.
At this point, Master Titanium finally turned his attention back to the vector.
"I think she's fine."
Yutiandi let out a cold laugh this time.
"she?"
"You want a woman who just dismantled the platform, disrupted the entire hearing, and whose background is a complete mess, to be the chief judge?"
"Don't you think this is absurd?"
Master Titanium looked at him and asked calmly in return.
"But I think that during that whole session, she was the one who knew best how to steer the conversation back to the point, how to put things into practice, and where the problem really lay."
Upon hearing this, Yin Vector almost couldn't help but rub his chin.
That sounds really nice.
The group chat in the internal communications is back online.
Knockout: "I like this development."
97: 'Chief Justice?'
AZ: "A very large space."
Shockwave: 'Supreme authority judicial position.'
97: "Next time, speak in a machine language."
Sound wave: "Suitable."
Ambulance: "Not bad."
Orion finally calmed down a bit from protecting her, turned his head to look at her, said nothing, and showed a hint of surprise, as well as another meaning that quickly surfaced.
She is indeed suited for this position.
Megatron glanced at her, clearly not expecting Titanium Master to pull this stunt, but he also knew very well what this position meant.
Power that can be properly held in one's own hands.
Even without knowing all the details, one can understand the vector just by looking at everyone's reactions.
Actually, she already felt she had made a great deal by managing to get Orion and Megatron out of the council today.
Then, the titanium master suddenly brought this thing out again.
She really wanted it.
With the platform gone, those councilors had nowhere to hide their faces, so their reactions became even more direct.
"no."
"The Chief Justice cannot make that decision."
"This is not in accordance with precedent."
"Her behavior today was already—"
"The old routine?" Vector finally spoke, then took over the conversation from Titanium Master, "When you were talking about the leader, wasn't it about some big change, a new order? Now that you're talking about the Chief Justice, you're starting to bring that up again?"
The congressman's face darkened.
Yin Xiangzhu's lips twitched, his smile completely undisguised.
"And judging from your reactions, I'd like to ask, is this position too difficult to give out, or are you too afraid to give it out?"
The hushed discussions among the outer seats became even more pronounced.
Clearly, the fact that the Chief Justice position has been vacant for so long speaks volumes.
Someone on the councilor's side was about to say something when Sentinel Prime spoke up.
His face turned ashen as he stared at Master Titanium: "You seem quite willing to send things out today."
Master Titanium smiled.
"The seat has been empty for too long, someone has to take it. Besides, isn't this exactly what you were most concerned about just now?"
He paused for a moment, then slowly added, seemingly casually, "Fairness, judgment, qualifications."
She's really good at it; she's starting to admire the old man's sharp tongue.
With such valuable things right in front of her, why wouldn't she want them?
She's sick because she doesn't want it.
So Yin Xiang stood there, his tone calm but his sharpness was hidden.
"Chief Justice, I believe I am qualified."
"Since you've brought it up, I'll listen to it too."
"What reason are you going to use this time to refuse to give it to me?"
