The Devil Judge [Bl Version] - Chapter 20: Uncovering the Truth

Raindrops tapped gently against the window, punctuating the silence as he began to recount the events that had led him and Isaac down a treacherous path of discovery.

\”After Isaac\’s father died,\” Yo-Han began, his voice tinged with a mixture of sadness and determination, \”Isaac was shattered. We couldn\’t accept the official story of his father\’s death, especially since we knew he had that heated argument with the chairman of the SRF and some of its members on the same day.\”

He paused, his thoughts drifting back to that fateful day when their lives had taken an unexpected turn. \”We started digging, determined to uncover the truth. It didn\’t take long before we realized something was fishy about the whole situation. His father had closed a significant donation deal with the SRF just hours before his death.\”

Yo-Han\’s eyes bore the weight of their relentless pursuit of justice. \”Isaac and I pieced together the puzzle, connecting the dots that led us straight to the doorstep of the SRF. It became clear that they had a motive to eliminate Isaac\’s father, and that heated argument was just the tip of the iceberg.\”

The room felt heavy with the gravity of their discovery. \”We couldn\’t back down now. We knew we had to confront the SRF and expose the truth, not only for Isaac\’s father but for all those who had been wronged by them.\”

As the rain continued its rhythmic dance against the windowpane, Yo-Han leaned in closer to Ga-On, his voice dropping to a whisper as he shared their daring plan.

\”We had gathered enough evidence to expose each and every corrupt official within the SRF,\” Yo-Han began, his eyes gleaming with a mix of determination and anticipation. \”But to truly bring them down, we needed to create a scenario where they felt invincible, where their true colors would shine through.\”

He paused, reflecting on the audacity of their scheme. \”That\’s when Isaac came up with a brilliant plan. He announced his decision to donate the entirety of his fortune to the SRF. It was a bold move, one that garnered praise and flattery from all corners, especially the SRF itself.\”

Ga-On nodded, understanding the gravity of what they had orchestrated. \”Minister Cha and the other SRF members thought they had us fooled, that they had successfully manipulated Isaac into their ranks. Little did they know, it was all part of our plan.\”

Yo-Han\’s eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as he continued, \”We decided to have our wedding at the grand cathedral, inviting all the SRF members. It was the perfect setting for our trap. They believed they were attending a celebration, but in reality, it was a showdown of epic proportions.\”

\”With evidence in hand and our resolve unshaken, we were ready to expose the SRF\’s corruption for the world to see. We knew the moment of reckoning had come.\”

Yo-Han\’s voice grew softer as he delved deeper into the intricacies of their plan, the weight of their decisions bearing down on them like an unrelenting storm.

Yo-Han continued, a bittersweet smile crossing his lips, \”Isaac was ecstatic. He had this vision of justice, a system where live courts would give people a choice, where the corrupt would be exposed before the world. He wanted to ensure that no one dared to exploit or harm others ever again.\”

\”It was too perilous to have Elijah with us during those crucial days. We couldn\’t risk her safety. So, despite her desire to be with Isaac, we decided to keep her hidden in the mansion, under the care of the housekeeper. It tore Isaac apart to be separated from her, but we couldn\’t jeopardize her well-being.\”

\”On the day of the incident Isaac and I arrived at the cathedral but somehow Little Elijah suddenly arrived with the housekeeper and stood at the entrance, waiting to meet with his father.\”

As Isaac was surrounded by SRF officials inside the cathedral, I approached Elijah, and she cried, refusing to leave without his father. I promised her that I would bring her back to him so she agreed to go back to the mansion.

The room seemed to grow darker, as if the very walls mourned the tragedy that unfolded. \”As soon as I turned away from bidding farewell to Elijah and looked back at the cathedral, I saw it-blazing flames that had quickly spread and consumed the church. It happened so fast, Ga-On, like a nightmare I couldn\’t wake up from.\”

The rain outside pounded relentlessly, echoing the grief and chaos that had erupted that day.

\”I was still fighting my way inside to Isaac when I watched Minister Cha saving herself and pushing Issac towards the fire. I was about to get hold of him when suddenly a fiery beam fell on top of him.\”

\”I quickly crawled over to him and tried to wake him up but he was barely able to speak so I picked him up but the roof collapsed on me before I could get out.\”

Yo-Han\’s voice carried a mixture of sorrow and anger as he recounted the most horrifying moment he experienced amidst the chaos of the fire.

\”The most terrible thing I witnessed,\” he began, \”was when a firefighter, instead of coming to our rescue, stole Isaac\’s watch right off his wrist. I watched in disbelief as he took it and then, as if to add insult to injury, he apologized and hastily rushed outside. It was clear that he had no intention of saving either me or Isaac.\”

It was a moment of vulnerability, where the facade of the charismatic judge had cracked, revealing the complex man beneath.

\”I made a promise to Isaac,\” Yo-Han said, his eyes reflecting the weight of his commitment. \”I promised him that I would reveal the faces of the corrupt SRF members in front of the entire world and ensure that they face justice for their deeds.\”

Ga-On could see the unwavering resolve in Yo-Han\’s gaze, understanding the depth of his dedication to fulfilling that promise, no matter the challenges that lay ahead.

Yo-han\’s voice quivered with determination as he declared, \”I\’ve been through worse, Ga-On. Nothing can take me down now.\”

Ga-On\’s voice quivered with a mixture of concern and frustration as he implored, \”Yo-Han, if you have evidence, why not give it to the police? Why put yourself through all this?\”

Yo-Han\’s eyes, bloodshot and filled with tears, bore into Ga-On\’s, his voice heavy with a vengeful resolve. \”I want to see them suffer, Ga-On, the same way I saw Isaac suffering in front of me. They must pay for it.\”

The room seemed to close in around them, as the weight of Yo-Han\’s determination hung heavy in the air. He had witnessed the flames of tragedy devour everything he held dear, and that anguish fueled his thirst for retribution.

\”I want the world to see the truth,\” Yo-Han continued, his voice trembling with emotion. \”I want them to face the consequences of their actions in the full glare of the public eye. The court is where they will be stripped of their masks, where their corruption will be laid bare for all to see.\”

As the rain outside continued to fall, it was as if the heavens wept alongside Yo-Han, sharing in his pain and his unyielding desire for justice. The path he had chosen was fraught with peril, but it was a path he was determined to walk, no matter the cost.
