  Jakarta, Indonesia 11:00, two hours before BWC. . .

  Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, is one of the busiest cities in the world. This city has achieved numerous global rankings, but for all the wrong reasons. This city is ranked 14th in the world in terms of the number of skyscrapers and 7th for cities with the worst traffic problems. Traveling by land vehicles in this city is a borderline nightmare; places that you can reach within an hour can become a 90-minute trip or, in the worst case of traffic, it can even become a two-hour trip.

  In this busy city, there's a CEO who's working behind the desk at his office, standing atop the 22nd floor. He's alone in the room, and anyone who wants to enter needs to inform his personal secretary first. Even then, the CEO himself must permit them beforehand and inform his secretary whether or not someone can come to his office.

  The CEO is a man in his thirties. He's silently and diligently working on something all alone. He smirks to himself as he says, "Looks like I'm getting 40 million rupiah more than last month's!!".

  He opens up one of his cabinets on the lower right side of his office desk. He pulls out a brown envelope and pulls out a thick layer of cash. He licks the tip of his index finger before counting the amount of cash he has in his hands.

  "One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six. . . ."

  "FOUR POINT EIGHT MILLION RUPIAH!!! JUST FOR THAT?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR ME!!"

  *THUD THUD THUD THUD*

  *!!!*

  The CEO gets up from his seat. He walks back towards the window behind. He heard thumping over and over again, and the sound got louder by the second. He leans towards the window and bends his neck upwards to find out the source of those sounds.

  "I don't remember hiring a window cleaner."

  After looking up for several seconds, he walks back towards his desk to sit down again. And at that point, he felt someone's glare on his back, which would be impossible since he is alone in the room, and the only thing behind him is the window of the 22nd floor.

  He quickly turns around and sees someone outside the window in the middle of a jumping motion.

  *PRAAAAAANNNNGGGG*

  "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!'

  The person kicks and breaks through the window. The CEO was scared to death in reflex. The person lands near the CEO's desk with all of the glass fragments fallen nearby.

  "I'm sorry about the window, but if I'm being honest, the repair fee should cost nothing for someone like you!!"

  "WHO ARE YOU?"

  The CEO was frantic and in a state of panic. He falls to the floor and slowly crawls backwards, distancing himself from the intruder.

  The intruder is a young girl. She is 17 years old. She has short yellow hair that reaches her shoulders with bangs that cover most of her forehead. Her hair is straight on the upper half and wavy on the lower half. Her hair is also green on the lower, wavy half. She has a pair of bright green-yellow eyes. She wears pale pink lipstick on her lips. She wears a yellow short-sleeved shirt with black trims on each edges of her sleeves, a black vest with a light blueish-green outline on the center and the bottom, a black tie, a black skirt with two stripes of light blueish-green on the bottom, and a pair of high blueish-green boots with two black belts on the top on each boot with black soles on the bottom. She is 162cm tall and weighs around 48kg. She has bright white skin, and her bust size is B-cup.

  "My name is Kobayashi Mari!! I am part of the Seven Layers of Judgment. Judge number six. The Judge of Greed!!"

  Mari's entire body was glowing a bit as she was using Vein armor to reach this floor. She deactivates her vein armor. Mari looks towards the desk and sees the CEO's nameplate.

  "Nice to meet you, CEO-san!!"

  "WHY ARE YOU HERE? HOW DID YOU EVEN REACH THIS PLACE? THIS IS THE 22ND FLOOR!!"

  "Hm? I ran up the windows of the building."

  "HUUUHHHH??"

  "Well, forget about that!! CEO-san, I sense greed coming off of you!!"

  Mari walks closer towards the CEO. She crouches, clenches her right hand, and activates her vein armor.

  *BAAAAAMM*

  "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  Mari punches the ground near where the CEO sat on the floor. Her punch cracks the entire floor of his office. The CEO screams like a little girl in response.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  Mari stands up and looks down towards the CEO.

  "Please confess your sins right now!! What kinda dirty money-making schemes have you been doing in this place?"

  "W-W-W-W-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??"

  *Sigh*

  Mari lets out a sigh as she is disappointed with the CEO's dishonesty.

  "You have three choices right now!! One, repent your sins and promise to never do any of your dirty schemes again, whatever that is!!"

  Mari raises her right hand to the side and opens her palm. A giant scythe, primarily in black and green, appeared out of thin air. The giant scythe is two meters long, and the blade of the scythe is 1 meter long. The handle of her scythe bends a little bit across its length. The handle also has a sharp bend in the middle.

  "Two! Lose both of your arms right here, right now, from my scythe!!"

  "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

  "Or, three!! Ignore everything, including our encounter right now, so that you can be judged by the Almighty God, Lord Jesus Christ, on Judgment Day during the end of times!!"

  "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKHHHH!!!"

  "CHOOSE WISELY!!!"

  The CEO is at his highest level of distraught in his whole life. He freezes, knowing that all of his wrongdoing has somehow been leaked and he is going to be punished for it. The CEO kneels on the floor as he puts both of his hands on his head.

  "I-i-i-i-i-i-i. . . I-i. . ."

  "What is this reluctance? Does this mean you're not alone in this? There are a lot of people involved in this?"

  The CEO looks up towards Mari and nods slowly.

  ". . ."

  Mari closes her eyes and opens them again. Her eyes are now glowing in a dim green color. She looks to her left and right while her head is tilted downwards. After a few seconds, she closes her eyes again and opens them, and her eyes return to normal.

  "Are they not in this company?"

  ". . . ."

  "OI!! ANSWER ME!!"

  Mari suddenly screams with a deeper tone, showing her anger and impatience towards the CEO's uncooperative behavior.

  "NNOOOOOO!!! NO, THEY'RE NOT HERE!!! THEY'RE ALL FROM DIFFERENT CITIES AND COMPANIES!!! WE ALL JUST WORK TOGETHER FOR A SPECIFIC SCHEME!!"

  "*sigh* If you've just been honest from the very beginning, I wouldn't have cracked your floor. . ."

  Mari squats down towards the CEO and discards her giant scythe.

  "Please don't do this ever again, okay? Otherwise, I'll come back for you, and I can easily track you back to your home and your family! Take this seriously, and repent for your sins!! Do what's right after you wake up, okay?"

  "O-okay. . . *sobs sobs*"

  The CEO lowers his head as he agrees to Mari's advice. But then he looks up towards Mari in confusion.

  "Wait, what do you mean by 'after I wake up' ??"

  The moment the CEO saw Mari, she was already throwing a punch towards his head.

  "Go to sleep!"

  *BAM*

  The CEO falls to the floor and loses consciousness. Mari unsummons his giant scythe and summons the Sword of Purification. She stabs the sword into the CEO's chest. The sword slowly changes color to black in its entirety, and Mari pulls the blackened sword out.

  "Alright, here goes. . ."

  Mari points the sword's tip towards her chest and stabs it.

  "URGHH!!"

  And then, as if a bunch of videos appeared inside her head, she received the memories of the CEO's.

  .

  .

  .

  "Receiving money from the government, intended as a bonus for my staff, is excellent!!"

  "But then again, this IS my company! And they don't even give me any!!"

  "They're saying it's because I am the CEO that I don't need any bonus compared to my staff."

  "THAT IS UNFAIR!! THIS IS MY COMPANY!! I HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT LEAST A FEW PERCENTAGES OF THEIR BONUS AS WELL!! IF I AM NOT HERE, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE ANY JOBS ANYWAY!!!"

  "JUST 5% OF THEIR BONUS!!! THINK OF IT AS PAYING ME AS THANKS FOR ALLOWING YOU ALL TO WORK IN MY COMPANY!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! DON'T WORRY, THIS WON'T HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON ALL YOUR LOWLY LIVES!!"

  .

  .

  .

  ". . . Tch, THIS GUY LIED TO ME!!! HE SAID THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE INVOLVED!! THIS IS JUST THE CASE OF ONE GUY BEING GREEDY!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!"

  Mari summons forth her giant scythe again in anger.

  *THUMP*

  She slammed the lower tip of the handle towards the floor and made a loud thump.

  "THIS GUY!!! GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!"

  ". . ."

  Mari unsummons her giant scythe. She began inhaling and exhaling slowly to regain her composure.

  *inhales exhales*

  *inhales exhales*

  *inhales exhales*

  "Phew. . . I shouldn't be losing myself to anger. Otherwise, I'll be no different than that Nightmare guy, the First Judge."

  After calming down, Mari takes a pose to pray in front of him.

  "Amen!"

  Mari raises both of her arms and opens her palms towards the CEO. Pure white light came down from above, and the light slowly flowed towards the CEO's whole body. After a few seconds, the white light fades away.

  "Phew! I'm done. . . That was rather quick."

  *THUD*

  "Mari-chan!!"

  Someone else came to this room from the same window that Mari broke just a few moments ago.

  "Ei-chan? You're too late! I am already finished!!"

  The person is a boy, and he walks closer towards Mari.

  This is Eissen Divalo. He is 17 years old and he is Mari's closest friend. He has yellow spiky hair that flows from the back to the front. His hair turns light brown at the midpoint of each of his hair strands. He has a pair of bright green eyes and wears a black frame glasses. He wears a long-sleeved V-neck dark green shirt with a black trim on each wrist, layered with a black fabric vest. He folds back his long sleeves to his elbow. He also wears a pair of dark green trousers with a black trim on each end and a pair of high black boots with a square green decoration on the top of the boots. He is 165cm tall and weighs around 70kg. He has white skin and his body is thin but very slightly muscular.

  "Please have some sense!! This is the 22nd floor. There's no way my Vein armor can ever hope to compete with yours!!"

  "Oh, right! Hehehe, sorry, Ei-chan!!"

  "So, what's the deal with this guy?"

  "The most typical basic greedy human being case. Just one guy craving more money, even when he already has a 22-story building standing tall in a giant city. Greed is so scary, Ei-chan. . ."

  "Yeah, that's why God chose you, Mari-chan!" said Eissen to Mari with a smile.

  Mari blushes from his praises.

  "T-Thank you, Ei-chan. . ."

  "You're welcome!" said Eissen as he smiled again at Mari.

  Mari averts her eyes somewhere else to avoid embarrassment from him.

  "A-Anyway. . . What is wrong with this country, though? This is our first time here, and we've been here only for three days. And like, how many has it been now? This is like the 48th case of greed just from this city alone!!"

  "You're right! I don't understand this country. Or maybe it's just this city? I have no idea. Speaking of which, Mari-chan, WE'RE ALMOST LATEEE!!!"

  *!!!*

  "OH NOOO!!! THE BWC!!! QUICK, EI-CHAN!! GRAB MY HAND!!"

  "RIGHT!!"

  Eissen grabs onto Mari's hand. They both activate their Vein armor and jump away through the broken window, leaving the tall building behind.
