Chapter 1299 Ending In Disappointment

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

-------------

Only a day was left before the next major challenge and Gustav wanted to ruin the Xionsis chances of partaking but things weren't currently moving in their favour.

Grand Commander Shion was at the forefront of the issue and appeared before the board over four times in the course of the last five days.

The Handlers claimed that there still wasn't any proof that the attack was intentional and Orimon had been repeatedly interrogated and also claimed it wasn't intentional. The fact that he was unable to amass such power on a regular gave the Xionsis something to hold onto.

Grand Commander Shion provided footages of past challenges where Teemee and Glade fought against a couple of them and ended up leaving one of them severely injured. It was brought up to the panel that the severely injured Xionsi participant happened to be the brother of Orimon.

It showed that Orimon had every reason to go after the two. Gustav also joined Grand Commander Shion in providing more footages of where Orimon repeatedly tried to challenge Teemee and Glade.

Everything added up according to the panel but the Xionsis admitted that even if this was to be so, Orimon was still incapable of killing three people with a single attack.

The whole case seemed to be dragging on as the panel still hadn't come to a conclusion.

On this day, there was going to be another hearing of sorts for the case and Gustav had decided to find an alternative since Axiler was taking time to give a feedback.

Within the same panel hall Gustav was called to during his first scuffle with the Xionsis, two different groups stood to the right and left respectively before the board.

"We have new evidence to provide on how the murderer Orimon knowingly slaughtered two of our own," An MBO officer voiced from the left.

Chatter! Chatter! Chatter!

The Xionsis by the right tried to voice out their displeasure at Orimon's labelling but got shut down by one of the board members. 

"Silence! We shall let the earth display their new evidence... the floor is yours,"

Gustav stepped forward with a translucent smooth surfaced circular item which floated in mid air beside him. 

"SJ project the footages," Gustav commanded.

SJ proceed to emit rays of light that formed a holographic projection of footages.

"Ohhh~" 

A look of intrigue could be seen on the faces of the board members as they stared at the footages.

"That is Premier Shirmin having a transaction with the collector known as Axiler," The moment Gustav uttered these words loud gasps could be heard within the panel room.

Everyone was aware of who Axiler was and now they could see Premier Shirmin who was a Xionsi higher up having a meal with the galaxy wide criminal.

"Do take note of the ring he received from Axiler," Gustav voiced while the footage displayed the full meeting between both of them.

"Panel leaders you cannot believe the words of this earthling! That could be an..." One of the Xionsis tried to speak but was cut short by a panel leader.

"Wait your turn. Let the earthling speak," 

The Xionsis kept quiet after this but the visibile look of distraught could be spotted on their faces. 

The more Gustav spoke, the higher the tension in the air increased. The footage of Shirmin receiving the trinket played out completely and even displayed Axiler dissapearing.

Gustav mixed a bit of lie at the end stating that Miss Aimee was onto Axiler but he managed to escape before he was caught. However, Shirmin had already purchased the item he needed.

The footage went on to display the moment during the monolith challenge where Orimon had the same trinket around his finger.

The trinket emitted a magenta colored glow just moments before the same colored blazing spear appeared.

"All of these, are proofs that the Xionsis purchased an item that could temporary boost power just so he would be able to kill my subordinates with a single attack. They did purchase from the most notorious collector wanted across galaxies after all," Gustav explained with a tone of certainty. 

"Of course feel free to confirm the authenticity of these footages," Gustav added.

"Panel leaders do not let this earthling mislead you. That person could have been anyone and we are unaware of what that ring is... Orimon should be able to explain better," One of the Xionsis voiced while gesturing at Orimon.

Orimon shakily stepped forward to speak, "Pa... panel leaders... I received that ring from uncle Shirmin without being aware if it meant anything. It was a gift," 

"That is a lie. Why would anyone want to purchase an ordinary jewellery from one of the most known collectors in the world?" Grand Commander Shion butted in strongly. 

"That indeed doesn't make any sense. What do you have to say for yourself Orimon?" One of the panel leaders questioned.

"Panel leaders, surely you are aware that this person doesn't look anything like Axiler. Axiler looks like this..." One of the Xionsis went on to display Axiler's true look with an holographic projection. 

This was an image of the same person Gustav and Stark had seen on that day where Miss Aimee abducted Axiler and made him take on his true form.

Beautiful like a female... body structured like a male... but happened to be void of gender.

"As we should all know, no wanted criminal would come to a planet like this with their true form," Gustav voiced from the side.

"Bring evidence forward that this person before Premier Shirmin is Axiler," Another one of the Xionsis stated.

There was a brief silence and due to this the Xionsis got more confidence and stated that the earth was just trying to frame them over a normal piece of jewellery.

"Even if there is no proof that Axiler was the person who sold that item to Premier Shirmin, it is without a doubt that the item is responsible for the murderous attack. The footage proves everything," Grand Commander Shion pointed out.

"Panel leaders, my subordinate only chose to accept a gift from his uncle. When did that become a sin? There is no evidence that the item was bought from the collector known as Axiler neither is there any evidence that also would prove that our representative knowingly used that item to kill his fellow rivals," Captain Illumo spoke as well.

"Even If it is what the captain of earth says it is, it still doesn't prove that Orimon activated it intentionally.  The young participant wss completely oblivious," Another one of the Xionsis stated.

"Indeed as the Xionsis have claimed, the evidence provided here is incomplete," One of the panel leaders stated.

"The evidence is right there in front of you... are y'all fucking blind?" Gustav voiced with a cold tone.

"Watch your language earthling!" One of the panel leaders stated with a strong tone of caution. 

"As things stand the panel is still unable to decide whether the Xionsis should be completely disqualified or given a strike. However, if they are able to bring forward evidence of the other person in the video being Axiler, the panel will disqualify the Xionsis," Another one of the panel leaders stated.

Earth tried to say a few things to buttress their point and the Xionsis also weren't satisfied with the fact that the only thing needed to get them disqualified was proof of that person being Axiler.

Both parties were unable to change the decision of the panel who decided to give earth more time to gather evidence before they came up with a conclusion. 

Both sides were currently tensed due to the present state of things. 

"We have to make sure they never get their hands on any evidence to proof that it was Axiler," The Xionsis decided as they stepped out.

"Evidence eh... I will get that," Gustav was a bit disappointed as to how things turned out today but he was sure about getting the evidence.

Although he was unable to stop the Xionsis from participating in tomorrow's challenge, he would definitely get them disqualified before the coming one after tomorrow.

Stark would make sure to get everything prepared for him while he focused on the coming challenge. 

'Even if i am unable to get them disqualified now... Should we come into contact with one another... I will make them pay. I will make them wish they had gotten disqualified earlier,' Gustav swore internally as he made his way back to the residential quarters.

The spectators were excited for the next challenge due to the fact that it was the second to the last but Gustav was more interested in it to deal with this bunch.

At the moment the issue of earth's loss had spread and how they wanted the Xionsis disqualified. 

Some alien spectators sympathised with them since they lost two potential youngsters in one go while others felt they were doing too much.

The latter mentioned things like, "Earth isn't the first to lose representatives so why are they acting like its a big deal?"
