I Become Baby Mafia Boss

Chapter 139: "In A Pinch"

Jevon's voice over their telepathy group chat sounded cold and merciless, sending a shiver down everyone's spine. Facing Jevon's silent wrath, the group shut their mouth.

Undoubtedly, he was still the strongest among them, being an all-rounded ability user. It's unwise to provoke him over a baby that they had never seen.

The baby's miraculous feats could also be a rumour, right...

Noticing the awkward atmosphere between them, Marietta hurriedly spoke in a gentle voice.

"There, there, let's not talk about the puppet family head. Our focus should be on watching the sinner undergoing the trial– "

She hadn't finished when Grandpa Yofan's loud voice suddenly rang throughout the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen. It's time to start the trial." The old man put his hands behind his back as he adopted a dignified air of an expert. With his beard swaying in front of his chest, the old man truly looked like a living sage.

Just that one announcement filled with authority rendered everyone in silence. Even Jevon didn't dare to act unruly in front of Grandpa Yofan. The youngster could only focus on the trial at the moment.

Seeing the crowds shut their mouth and directed their focus on him, Grandpa Yofan nodded in satisfaction. His face was still grim at the moment as he lifted his arm, swaying his wide sleeve.

"Begin the trial." The old man cast a cold look at Elliana and the 6 elders, who would do the trial. His eyes were devoid of any warmth and affection, but one could see a slight pain in his eyes.

As the one with the most authority after Elliana, Grandpa Yofan had to conduct his principle even though he believed that Elliana was innocent. They simply lacked proof to flip the situation.

If only Ainsley already woke up…

They could hear the baby's testimony over Elliana's innocence!

Hearing Grandpa Yofan's order, the other 6 elders moved to their position, forming a formidable star formation with the last elder standing at the centre, next to Elliana.

"I shall begin the trial, supreme elder." The elder at the centre of the star formation nodded at Grandpa Yofan before looking down at the woman on the floor.

The woman was still kneeling with her head lowered. One couldn't see her face at all, but she appeared to be weak.

The centre elder cleared his throat before flicking his wide robe, adding a solemn atmosphere upon himself. With a sharp voice, the elder bellowed at Elliana.

"Sinner Elliana! The current guardian of the family head. Accused guilty of harming the 18'th family head, Ainsley Sloan, making her slumber into a deep coma!"

The centre elder recited Elliana's crime with a crisp voice. Maybe he used a weird power or something, but his voice sounded loud and clear even for those at the back.

Without using a microphone, his voice was that powerful. Obviously he used a special ability or other tools.

Not stopping at reciting Elliana's crime, the old elder furrowed his eyebrows and took out the reports from the other branch families' heads which he hid inside his robe.

Once he took out the paper, the elder inhaled deeply before reading the proof of Elliana's sin out loud.

"According to X eyewitnesses, Elliana…"

"At the crime location, Elliana.."

"Up to now, the family head's condition is affirmed to be critical. She suffered an impact on her soul, making her fall into a deep coma."

"The investigation indicated that there's a mystical power behind this incident. Either a fairy or a sacred guardian's power. It's later assumed to be a sacred guardian's hidden power."

The elder continued his explanation, announcing the proofs to the guests in front of him. The crowds nodded along with the explanation, deep in thoughts.

Some of them shook their heads while smiling bitterly, others looked excited, and the rest had a deadpan expression all along.

"The sinner Elliana once summoned a sacred guardian a few weeks ago, and is suspected to be the culprit behind the current family head's mishap."

Once the elder announced this, the five buds looked at each other in astonishment.

They didn't know the full case before, but once they heard it, somehow...it sounded ridiculous?

"Hey...that lady is able to summon a sacred guardian? But...only a direct descendant or someone with a Sloan bloodline can enter the prairie!" Marietta knitted her eyebrows in disbelief.

She knew that Elliana wasn't a direct member of the Sloan Family. She didn't possess the Sloan family's bloodline. So...how could she summon a sacred guardian?

She wouldn't be able to enter the prairie! Summoning out a sacred guardian on top of that?

Ridiculous!

"True, senior. Though others don't know much about the sacred guardians, we as the five buds know a lot about them..." Even Nouvan couldn't help but find something amiss here.

"If that lady can't possibly summon the sacred guardian, how can she use the guardian to harm the family head?" Nouvan added.

"Tch. That's why I said these people are idiots." Jevon shook his head. A hint of disdain resided in his grey eyes. "Also, there's no sacred guardian with the power to affect one's living soul."

"Yeh. That will be too overpowered!" Ethania agreed with Jevon, just this time.

"I think this isn't the work of a sacred guardian. It should be a fairy with soul-related ability, a powerful shaman or a fairy with space-related ability."

Ethania rubbed her chin as she looked at Grandpa Yofan, who was standing at the stage near the throne. She could see that the old man didn't truly want to punish Elliana.

That old man should have known the truth, but he simply didn't have any proof to help the lady.

He...is in a pinch!
