Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]
Part (18)

"Well, I'll start a hearing on this case!" Zackley knocked the hammer once. Everyone in the courtroom immediately focused his attention on Zackley.

"This case is classified as a severe case because it concerns the deprivation of the needs of the people, terror in the region, and the slaughter of the heavy class. The mafia organization is one that hinders military forces from operating as well as hinders the peace process of the life of this wall. The main culprit, Nicolas Ravelis, is the leader of this mafia organization, using personal reasons to run the organization, which is to kill one of our top military officers, Captain Levi, destroy the Reconnaissance Force, and kill the other, as well as nearly killing one of the Elite Squad members, Petra Rall's sister. An explanation from me. I give the defense a chance."

"All right, Your Majesty. I declare that mafia organizations are still relatively rare so they will not endanger and threaten the lives of the people. Organizations such as the mafia can still be minimized by the government. As we know the government is also still less responsive in dealing with the people so that there is an uprising both from within and outside the region. Therefore, I want to refute, that this case is only classified as a low-level case. So, Your Majesty," the defender explained.

"I give the victim and the second witness a chance."

Erwin raised his hand and said, "In my opinion, the defense is unfounded. As we know that today the people are experiencing economic crisis and the needs of the people because many lost land since the destruction of Shiganshina and Wall Maria. If their organization is left, then the people's lives will become worse. Moreover, their organization greatly threatens the safety of our proud soldiers. Moreover their hatred towards the Reconnaissance Troops, especially the Elite Forces. This case is high level. Enough of me, Your Highness Zackley."

"I'll give the main witness a chance, please."

One of the representatives of the people from Krolva District was standing. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I as a representative of the people of Krolva District will speak up. Their organization was dubbed as the 'Mafia of Slaying Everything'. We as citizens of Krolva are very unacceptable and very threatened by their presence. They've taken us for years. If we don't give him, they don't hesitate to use violence. They will make us Titan food if we dare to report to the authorities. Therefore, we expect a punishment that is worth their while!"

All the residents in the room cheered in approval of the statement made by their representatives. Zackley knocked on his hammer 3 times.

"The audience please calm down! With this, the statements of the three parties have been temporarily accommodated. Since Petra Ral's sister has not been aware of the recovery period and cannot testify, I ask Captain Levi as the representative of the victim's side to make a statement."

Hearing his name being called, Levi stepped both feet into the middle of the room and approached Nico. His sharp gaze had been since he had thrown towards the man named behind Ravelis.

"Ha! You're finally here! Hows it? Is that girl already ma-"

TWOAKK!!

Everyone was shocked when they saw Levi kicking Nico in the face. While Zackley and some other military forces can only be silent to see the brutality of a Levi because they know Levi's treatment is absolute and inviolable. Oluo, Eld, and Gunther who were present in the line with Erwin could only grimace at the inhuman sight.

"Sorry Your Majesty, but my feet are already itching to kick him." Levi set his right foot on Nico's shoulder.

"Suckers! Damn you, Levi!" hardik Nico while rebelling.

BUGHGH!! TWOAKK!!

Still with the same expression, everyone was wide-eyed and flabbergasted to see such a brave and cruel Levi. The reason, the man who served as captain was kicking the face and stomach of the perpetrator. That originally smooth face instantly looked pitiful in an instant.

"Wait a minute, Captain.." great-granddaughter of one of the citizens' representatives, made Levi stop his action for a moment and turned to the source of the voice.

"What...if later he will get even more vengeful and destroy our small town?"

"Huhuh? You think a coward like him can do it?" levi asked as he raised Nico's head. While the one being treated was giving his cruel gaze.

"Even the claws are no longer enslaved by him."

"YOU'RE QUIET! FUCKING MIDGET! YOU-"

BUGHGH!! THE DUAKK! THE DUAKK! THE DUAKK!!

"I won't give a statement. But, this bastard will give it," said Levi still with his right foot that stepped on Nico's head.

"No. will!!"

TWOAKK!! TWOAKK!!

Nico made vomit blood. He grimaced in pain because he felt his face swollen and bloody. "I hate military troops! Especially the Surveillance Force!"

"What the fuck is he?!"

"How dare that bastard!"

"The Surveillance Force is troubling us! You have never really ruined society! All your commander's oaths are nothing but a bitch! A fake! Just dream!" nico shouted bluffing furiously.

"How dare you insult Commander Erwin!" reply one of the Survey Corps soldiers.

"Then he was my enemy since he was underground! I heard that he joined the Survey Corps. I want to destroy it. I searched through all the Survey Corps members' data and I wanted to slaughter the Elite Squad members he led one by one! Just so you know, this captain you respect was once an underground wild thug! You don't deserve to submit to him!"

Levi is grieving, you idiot.

"We know, you fool!"

Nico is jolted by the replies of people who already know Levi's identity. Everyone immediately cheered him.

"Oi pig! You think I entered the Surveillance Force without reporting my identity?"

"Damn.." said Nico slowly.

"Your Majesty Zackley.." Suddenly on the right wing Erwin raised an interrupting hand, making everyone turn their eyes.

"I would like to request a plea to lift the death penalty charges against this young man."

Everyone was immediately shocked to hear Erwin's statement, including Nico and Levi.

"Commander, but he has endangered us-"

Erwin cuts first before a misunderstanding, "However, instead he must be charged with life imprisonment and a sentence of violation of Article of the Act, parole. The case is based on a one-sided revenge. I think he needs to be given a broader insight looking at the background of this young man. So much from me."

"Why.. are you doing this? You. You will definitely use me after this-ARGH!!" Nico groans because Levi again stepped on his precious head.

"Truly don't know thank you. Does that little brain of yours only contain your hatred for us?"

Zackley cleared his throat to stop, "At the request of the victim, I hereby decree that Nicolas Ravelis' brother be sentenced to life imprisonment and violation of the Article of the Government Act, but without parole. Action related to the thorough search of the perpetrator will be borne by the Military Police. I declare that this case is closed!" 3 times the sound of the hammer knocking made all the humans in the room sigh in relief and cheer, especially the people of the small town of Krolva District.

Levi held onto Nico's shoulder, making Nico turn. "Live as you please. Hate me. Don't stop us from achieving our goals. One day you will understand why I decided to throw away my identity in the past."

Nico gasps at the words thrown from the mouth of a wild thug he once knew, "Levi, you.."

Levi stepped on both legs, reluctant to extend the conversation, leaving Nico still stiffly silent behind him..
