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 26 The Ambush
"Sir, hold on!" Arga commanded in a voice that brooked no argument.Baskoro was startled, but before he could ask anything, the sound of a smoke grenade explosion deafened them right at the front of the convoy. Thick white smoke instantly swallowed truck A-09 and their SUV.ScreechTires squealed loudly as Baskoro's driver slammed on the brakes. Their view ahead was completely obscured by the artificial fog. Hendri had already drawn his pistol with trembling hands, while Baskoro, clutching his briefcase and tablet, cursed loudly."Damn it! Red Viper!" Hendri shouted. "Bara, finish them."[SYSTEM: PHANTOM STEP ACTIVATED]Movement speed increased by 50%.Effect: Leaves residual afterimages in opponents' vision.Arga didn't wait for a second order. He immediately got out of the car and sprinted away. In his vision, thanks to Perception Attribute Level 4, the enemy positions appeared as glowing red silhouettes behind the smoke."Positions at 11 o'clock and 2 o'clock!" Arga shouted to the

Chapter: Chapter 25 First Blood
Arga started his car engine, letting it rumble low in the silence. In the rearview mirror, he spotted two black trail bikes with dim lights slowly following from about a hundred metres away."They're falling for it, Rio," Arga whispered, steering towards the city outskirts, away from the actual Aegis headquarters."Detected, Uncle. Two physical tracking units are also active behind your car. Relax, that rental shack I leased under Bara's name. Inside, there are already some cheap liquor bottles and cigarette butts to make it look like a deserter's hideout," Rio replied."Good, I'm heading there now," Arga said, driving his car.[SYSTEM: STEALTH MODE ACTIVE]Status: Identity Mask Secure.Enemies are currently conducting visual surveillance. Avoid contact with primary communication devices for the next 4 hours.Arga arrived at a run-down rental shack in a narrow alley in North Jakarta.

Chapter: Chapter 24 The Interview
"You're watching, aren't you?" Arga thought coldly.The steel door on the second floor, leading to a dark, exclusive balcony, burst open, shattering the silence in the gym. A man in a grey suit without a tie stepped forward to the balcony's edge. He didn't applaud, but his sharp gaze locked onto Arga."Enough", the man's voice echoed through the gym's internal speaker system. "Bring him upstairs. Now."The spectators and other fighters immediately bowed their heads, making way for Arga as if he were a king who had just ascended the throne. The trembling host from earlier now scurried over to Arga."Please... Mr Bara. Mr Hendri wants to see you immediately," the host said, his tone drastically changed to one of extreme politeness.Arga picked up his leather jacket, draping it over his shoulder without expression. As he stepped down from the ring, the system's blue screen reappeared in his peripheral vision.[SYSTEM: SIDE MISSION COMPLETE]• Reward: +200 system points added.• Reputatio

Chapter: Chapter 23 Nine Seconds
"Who's next to fight The Butcher?" the host shouted through the microphone.The crowd of muscular men, who had been rowdy moments before, fell silent. They exchanged glances, but no one dared to step forward. Fighting The Butcher wasn't just a match; it was a one-way ticket to the hospital or, worse, the grave.Suryo stood at the edge of the ring, spat on the floor, and surveyed the crowd with a contemptuous gaze. "Is this it? "Is this just a bunch of cowardly trash?" his voice boomed.Suddenly, Arga stepped forward. His movements were calm, a stark contrast to the tension surrounding him."Me," Arga said curtly.Everyone's eyes turned to him. The guard at the door chuckled cynically, while the host hesitated, seeing Arga's physique wasn't as large as the other fighters."Tch, a newcomer, huh? "Are you sure you can beat me?" Suryo asked dismissively. Even the spectators laughed at Suryo's mockery.Laughter erupted throughout the Iron Fist Gym."Hey, kid! Go home and drink your milk; d

Chapter: Chapter 22 Infiltrator
Arga was slightly stunned seeing the amount of money displayed on the system screen. Could Arga have spent Rp500,000,000 on a single mission? This far exceeded his savings from years as a police detective. Apparently, the system not only wanted Arga to become physically stronger but also financially capable, allowing him to move without any limitations."Baskoro isn't stupid," Arga finally broke the silence while staring at the target's photo. "If he's laundering that much money, he definitely has a private security team. Possibly former soldiers or mercenaries.""Exactly, Arga," Wijaya interjected. "He hired the Black Shark Group. They have a shoot-on-sight protocol for anyone entering Sector 4 without permission."Amelia, who had been happily examining her new laboratory, turned with a serious expression. "In that case, I need to prepare field medical kits for you. If there's a shootout, you'll need more than just regular bandages."Arga clenched his fist. The sensation from the con

Chapter: Chapter 21 A New Alliance
"Ah, you've both arrived. Thank you for coming to headquarters; please come in," Rio greeted Arga and Amelia warmly as they arrived."What's going on? Why was I called here again?" Amelia asked, confused."Someone wants to meet you both," Rio said with a broad smile.Amelia and Arga exchanged confused glances, but they still walked inside the room called headquarters."Have a seat. What would you like to drink?" Rio offered."What's this all about, Rio?" Arga asked, full of curiosity. "Who wants to meet us?"Rio didn't answer; he just gestured with his head towards the automatic sliding door in the corner of the room. Not long after, the door opened with a soft hiss.Footsteps approached, and from the dark corridor emerged a middle-aged man in a neat suit."Allow me to introduce my boss, Mr. Wijaya Hartanto," Rio introduced the figure."Please sit down for a moment. Let me prepare drinks for the three of you," Rio said with a wide smile, hurrying towards the refrigerator in the corner
