After the news of Broom's death spread, the Ulyssians began the public trial of the Manager.
During the trial, the Manager tearfully argued that the reason for cooperating with slave traders was to protect the majority by sacrificing a few.
Some Ulyssians expressed understanding, but times had changed, and they were now determined to resist to the end; they could not forgive the Manager for still luring Broom after knowing the choice they had made.
In the fervor of the crowd, the Manager was sentenced to hanging.
Vic stood in front of the gallows for a long time before shaking his head with a sigh and walking away; he found Bai Fu, who was searching for information on the Interstellar Network.
"Is there something urgent?"
Vic said, "The Manager is dead, and now everyone hopes you can become the new Manager."
Bai Fu walked to the window, where outside, excited Ulyssians had already crowded.
