The System of Justice

The System of Justice

For Arga Pratama, being an honest police officer in this city feels like living in hell. Time and time again, he uncovers solid evidence to put powerful criminals behind bars—only to watch it all end up in the trash. The suspects? Still partying in luxury bars, protected by powerful “insiders” and bottomless wallets. The breaking point comes when Arga is forced to turn a blind eye after the son of a high-ranking official kills someone in a hit-and-run. Sick of being nothing more than a “guard dog” for corrupt elites, Arga slams his badge onto his superior’s desk. He believes quitting is the only way to remain human. However, the world is far from merciful. That very night, Arga loses the most precious thing in his life. His wife suffers a miscarriage after receiving relentless threats from the syndicate he had been investigating. In the cold hospital corridor, Arga can only sit in silence, staring at the ruins of his existence. No job. No authority. And now… no child. At his absolute lowest point, a floating screen suddenly appears before his eyes: [The Ultimate Detective System Activated.] [Target Detected: Those Who Believe They Are Above the Law.] Arga quickly realizes this is his only chance to rise again. Armed with a system capable of uncovering even the faintest traces of crime, he begins operating as a shadow detective. He does not just want to fix his shattered life—he wants every bastard who ever laughed at him to experience what true justice really means. They once bribed the police to erase evidence. Now, not a single secret can escape Arga’s eyes. Because to Arga, justice no longer needs laws or articles— It only needs flawless execution.

Chapter: Chapter 56 – External Intrusion Detected
“Because everything points to Arkan a little too perfectly,” Arga replied quietly.He slowly closed the black folder, then tapped Arkan’s photograph with the tip of his finger.“The hospital, the genetic project, the masked doctors, the military medical facility. Every piece of evidence was deliberately designed to lead us to him.” Arga narrowed his eyes. “And someone like Jamer Youghtor would never raise his children without keeping tabs on them. If Arkan were truly the mastermind, why would his tracks be left so openly exposed?”Mr. Wijaya fell silent.Arga continued, his voice growing lower.“On the other hand, Devon operates in the international logistics sector. Distribution routes. Illegal shipments. Containers without manifests. If the Anima Subiectum project required transporting babies, biological samples, or even living humans across borders without detection, Devon would be the perfect person for it.”Mr. Wijaya looked back at Devon’s photograph.“And one more thing,” Arga

Arga clenched his fists tightly until his knuckles turned bone-white. If the mastermind possessed a hacker capable of giving Rio—an IT genius—a hard time and nearly breaching his defences, it meant they weren't just dealing with a wealthy psychopath. Instead, they were up against a syndicate backed by a massive technological infrastructure."Rio, wipe all your digital footprints right now. "Don't take any risks," Arga ordered in a half-whisper, his eyes remaining alert as he scanned the parking area. "I don't want your system becoming their next target.""Don't worry, Uncle. I've already deployed multi-layered firewalls and self-destruct logs. But for the time being, I need to go offline from your communication line until I can bypass this clinic's jammer using a more secure frequency." Rio's voice grew increasingly drowned out by static interference. "Be careful out there, Uncle. Something big is—"Krrrshhh...Silence. The signal was completely cut off.Arga lowered his hand from his

The battle erupted beneath the flickering neon lights of the basement. The sound of gunfire echoed, bouncing off the concrete walls as the psychopath’s henchmen began to lose control. However, Arga stood his ground as bait, allowing bullets to whiz around him while his HUD system calculated every millisecond of their trajectories."Device attached! Rio, go in now!" Adrian roared after executing a tactical roll to dodge the strike of an opponent's iron pipe.[SYSTEM: NETWORK INTRUSION]Access OBD-II: Successful.Electrical Control: Overridden.Status: Spoofing the driver's cardiac vest sensor (Signal Loop)."Done! I’ve frozen the signal from the vest! You have 15 seconds before the Doctor’s backup system realizes there's a frequency loop!" Rio’s voice sounded on the verge of hysteria through the earpiece."Now!" Arga commanded.Amelia dashed forward with incredible agility. Instead of attacking the driver directly, she leapt toward the open cabin window. With a locking maneuver, she he

Amelia dashed down the emergency stairs. Meanwhile, at the exit gate, the situation had reached a breaking point.Adrian stood firmly in the middle of the exit lane, blocking a white van that was attempting to speed away. The driver slammed on the brakes, causing the tires to screech and leaving behind the pungent stench of burnt rubber."Get out of the way, idiot! Do you want to die?!" the driver screamed, pulling a pistol from inside his jacket.Adrian didn't flinch. He spun his tactical baton with surgical precision. "You aren't taking these babies one inch from here."The van's rear doors swung open. Four burly men jumped out, armed with blades and baseball bats."Ready to engage!" Adrian reported to Rio via his earpiece.Crash!Adrian initiated the attack. He ducked as a baseball bat swung over his head, then countered by slamming the tip of his baton into the opponent's shin. A sickening crack echoed, followed by a scream of agony. At that moment, three of Wijaya’s men who had a

Arga continued to flip through his audit files with practiced precision. His eyes moved nimbly as if verifying crucial figures, but his primary focus remained on the blue indicator in his breast pocket—wirelessly linked to his contact lens HUD.[SYSTEM: DATA ENCRYPTION & CLONING]Logistics Database: 65%... 80%...Medical Division Fund Flow: Complete.Secret NICU Patient List: Complete."Just a little more, Uncle," Rio whispered over the private comms channel. "The data coming in is insane. There's a shipping manifest labeled 'Biological Products' destined for a black-market pier north of the city. And according to the schedule, it’s supposed to go out in an hour!"Arga’s jaw tightened. He glanced at his watch. If this data was accurate, those infants were being prepared for transport right now."Done," Arga announced suddenly, his voice loud enough to startle the guards in the corner of the room.He slammed the heavy folder shut with a deliberate thud to break the silence.

Amelia followed Dr. Cecep toward the medical service elevator. Along the way, her sharp forensic senses picked up an unusual chemical scent far too pungent to be a standard hospital disinfectant."Rio," Amelia whispered almost inaudibly, her hand reaching up as if to adjust the collar of her white coat. "I’m heading toward the NICU. Dr. Cecep seems extremely agitated. The Truth Seeker on my system flashes red every time he mentions protocols.""Stay careful, Doctor. Stay alert," Rio’s voice replied from the other end. "Adrian is also at the hospital disguised as an office boy; he will ensure your safety. If anything happens, signal him immediately."Amelia gave a small hum in acknowledgment. "I haven’t been able to hack the hospital’s CCTV yet. Adrian will have to slip into the security room."Amelia continued walking with a steady, calm gait, even as the tension around her grew thicker. Dr. Cecep checked his watch several times; seeing the gesture, Amelia realized the doctor was expe

An Ex-Thug Chased by Enchanting Billionaire Women

"Ma, Samson promises. Samson is going to repent; I won’t be a thug anymore. I'm going to find a real, honest job. So please, Ma, don't come back to haunt me, okay?" Samson knelt, tears streaming down his face, though his expression still looked like someone ready to pick a fight with the Angel of Death. Bejo held out an umbrella. "Boss, it’s almost sunset. We need to go collect the 'protection money' from the cafe owner," he said. "Hey, Bejo! I just promised Ma that I’ve repented. You little devil! Do you want my mother to rise from her grave because of what you just said, huh?!" Samson stood up. His towering height, nearly two meters, made Bejo instinctively jump back three steps. "But Boss, our stomachs aren't exactly followers of the repentance movement," Bejo squeaked, trembling. Samson wiped his fierce face. "From this second on, call me Samson the Protector. I’m going to find honest work. Anything! As long as I'm not shaking people down anymore." A wealthy woman looked Samson up and down, scrutinizing him. "Your body is quite large. It just so happens I need a new guard dog. I just fired the old one because he was afraid of cockroaches." Samson was ready to explode. "Hey, lady! You think I—" "Fifty million a month. Meals are provided, and you get an Italian suit for a uniform. Interested?" the woman interrupted, handing him a gold-plated business card. Samson fell silent. He then whispered under his breath, "Ma, this is honest work, right? Just being a guard dog for a billionaire."

Chapter: Chapter 163: Holding On
In the courthouse courtyard, Richard stood straight, watching the police vehicle that carried Soraya away. Bejo stood beside him, his jaw tight.“She said she wasn’t the only one,” Bejo muttered. “That means there’s someone else.”Richard rubbed his tired face. “I’ve already contacted the senior investigator. They’ll interrogate her tonight. I’ll have people find out who communicated with that woman before. Even if there are others behind her, I’m certain they’re part of Baskoro’s group that was already caught.”Itari, who had been silent until now, finally spoke in a hoarse voice. “Samson… he’ll be all right, won’t he? He just had surgery a few days ago because of the gunshot wound to his chest.”Richard didn’t answer right away. He only stared in the direction the ambulance had already gone.Bejo clenched his fists. “I’m going to the hospital now. Mrs. Itari, are you coming?”“I’m coming,” Itari replied without hesitation.Richard nodded. “I’ll follow after I make sure Soraya’s dete

Chapter: CHAPTER 162: Blood and Vows
"Damn it!" Bejo rushed forward, grabbing Soraya and driving her to the ground, pinning both her arms tightly behind her back."Sam?!" Rose caught Samson's body as he began to slide downward, fresh blood soaking through his clothes and oozing continuously from his abdomen."Sam, hold on!" Rose burst into tears instantly, her hands trembling violently as she pressed against the bleeding wound on his stomach.Richard immediately dialed for an ambulance. At the same time, because the incident occurred within the court complex, nearby police officers and security guards rushed over to inspect the commotion."Oh my God, Samson!" Itari dropped to her knees beside Samson, whose head rested in Rose's lap."I'm fine, Rose," Samson stammered, cold sweat beginning to drench his forehead and temples."Don't close your eyes, Sam!" Rose pressed both her hands over his abdominal wound. Warm blood seeped between her fingers, trickling down her wrists and dripping onto the parking lot pavement."I'm...

Chapter: CHAPTER 161: The Final Ambush
"Father?" Rose laughed mockingly, a cold sound that cut cleanly through the silence of the courtroom. "A father wouldn't steal his child's birthright, torture his wife, or attempt to murder his own flesh and blood for his own gain!"The atmosphere inside the courtroom reached a boiling point. Baskoro attempted to leap to his feet again, but two police officers immediately pinned his shoulders firmly to his chair."Defendant Baskoro! This is the final warning from the Bench! If you cannot maintain order, we will proceed with these proceedings in your absence!" the Presiding Judge thundered, striking his gavel heavily.Bang! Bang! Bang!Baskoro was left breathing heavily, his face flushed red with intense rage and humiliation in front of the media and gallery.On the other side, Emran didn't dare look at Rose. Her former fiancé kept his head bowed in utter frustration, fully aware that any resistance was completely futile.He knew his offenses were not as severe as Baskoro's. He was onl

Chapter: CHAPTER 160: The Reckoning in Court
"Boss, where do you think you're going? You're still not stable," Gopar scolded as he watched Samson pull on his leather jacket, having already swapped his hospital gown for casual clothing."Today is the first court hearing for Baskoro, Emran, and Rio. I need to be by Rose's side," Samson said."But Mr. Richard and Bejo are already there," Gopar countered."It doesn't matter. I still need to be present," Samson replied, deeply concerned about Rose.Today was the trial of her father, her former fiancé, and her stepbrother—the perpetrators behind embezzlement, fraud, and attempted murder."Ucok said Mrs. Itari is attending as well. She'll be testifying as a victim of domestic abuse at the hands of her ex-husband, Baskoro," Gopar reported."What about Bianca? Who's keeping her company at the villa?" Samson asked."Ucok is staying with her, while Mrs. Itari was picked up by the security detail Miss Rose dispatched," Gopar informed him."Alright. You stay here and guard Clara at the hospi

Chapter: CHAPTER 159: The Fall of the Empire
Samson offered a subtle smile, deeply moved by Bianca’s affection. She gave him a sense of family that had been missing ever since his mother passed away. Samson had been all alone in the world, so being regarded as a father figure by a twenty-year-old girl at thirty-seven wasn't something he minded in the slightest."Oh! I brought some fruit pudding. Titi and I made it earlier!" Bianca declared enthusiastically, turning toward Itari.Itari smiled gently, watching Bianca’s mood shift so rapidly from tearful hysterics to bright excitement. She reached into her shopping bag and pulled out a transparent container filled with fresh, layered fruit pudding, topped with neatly arranged strawberry and grape slices."That's right, Sam. Ever since she heard you woke up, Bianca refused to leave until she finished making this pudding," Itari said, setting the container on the bedside table. "She insisted her father needed to get his strength back."Samson looked at the container, then shifted his

Chapter: CHAPTER 158: The Cold War and Loving Promises
The atmosphere inside the VIP suite instantly turned tense, thick with heavy awkwardness.Gopar, Ucok, and Bejo tiptoed backward, hurrying to shut the door tight from the outside before a cold war between the two formidable women could erupt.Once the door slid shut, only Rose, Clara, and Samson remained in the sudden silence.Rose crossed her arms over her chest, attempting to maintain her composure, though the sharp glint in her eyes couldn't conceal her irritation. She darted a brief glance at Samson before shifting her gaze back to Clara, who sat quietly in her wheelchair.Aware of the sudden shift in the room, Clara let out a subtle, knowing smile."How are you feeling, Sam?" Clara asked, easing the awkwardness."Much better. What about you? You really should be resting, Clar. I'm sure your condition hasn't fully stabilized," Samson said."I'm feeling much better, Sam. The doctor said there's no infection and the surgery was a success, so everything is fine," Clara replied with a
