False Court
Chapter 978 Shocked
"Don't worry, if we lose, I'll offer you my head."
Langke flattered him, patting his chest.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly afterward. By the way, who are the opposing lawyers?"
Kairas replied with satisfaction.
"Just a few, and they're all rookies, never seen them before. Probably just got their Xinghuan City law licenses, they can't compare to us. And Kairas, sir, rest assured, you won't find three more excellent lawyers than us in the entire Xinghuan City. Even a slightly inferior lawyer wouldn't dare take on the opposing side. They must be tired of living!"
Lawyer Langke said quickly.
"That's good!"
Kairas sat in the plaintiff's seat with great satisfaction.
Su Mo and the others twitched their lips, glaring as they listened to Kairas and his group discussing.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came again, and everyone in the room turned to look.
Then everyone saw a very spectacular scene. Ge Yi led a group of grand lawyers in black and white striped robes, walking in. The scale was very impressive, at least a hundred people.
Langke's eyes widened instantly, his entire face burning.
Kairas frowned, annoyed and displeased.
"These are the 'few lawyers' you mentioned?"
"No, no, aren't these lawyers from Yuying Star Sea? How did they get involved?"
Lawyer Langke and the others were also dumbfounded.
"Commander Kairas, you don't need to worry. Even if they bring more people, it won't matter. This isn't a fight, it's not like more people will help. I alone can match all of them."
Delison said confidently.
"I hope so, don't give me any surprises."
Hearing this, Kairas's expression gradually softened.
On the other hand, Sun Duo Xiang and the others were all smiles, extremely excited. This was too great.
Qian Chengxue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at this lineup, it looked like they had a chance.
Soon, one hundred and twenty-eight lawyers entered, and they took the defense seats. There were also a large number of support team members taking seats. Among them, a short-haired, intellectual middle-aged female lawyer stood in the main defense position. This defense lineup was incredibly luxurious!
Ge Yi said apologetically to Su Mo, "Sorry, we're late."
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile, "Not late, you're just in time!"
Arlais couldn't help but take another look at Su Mo. It seemed that he was a little too worried. Su Mo's energy was greater than he had imagined.
Ge Yi introduced to Su Mo, "This is Grand Lawyer Winnie, she is the chief lawyer of our Mist Country, proficient in the laws of Xinghuan City. In this lawsuit, you just need to fully cooperate with her."
"Okay, I'll leave everything to you."
Su Mo thanked Grand Lawyer Winnie.
Winnie shook her head and said very seriously, "Mr. Su Mo, we should be thanking you. If you hadn't saved us, we would have died long ago. Don't worry, we will use all our lifelong learning to defend you with all our might. If we lose this lawsuit, we will never set foot in this industry again."
"Uh, you don't have to do that, just do your best, don't put too much pressure on yourselves."
Su Mo's expression was a little awkward, this was too much.
...
As time passed, the time for the trial to begin was getting closer and closer, and more and more spectators came in.
However, Su Mo didn't recognize any of them, but he could be sure that most of them were from Xinghuan City.
When the trial countdown reached zero, the doors of the courtroom slowly closed!
The presiding judge in charge of the general trial slowly stood up, picked up the gavel, and tapped the table, saying in a deep voice.
"Silence!"
The noisy courtroom suddenly fell silent.
"Let me introduce myself, I am the chief judge in charge of this trial, Sason. I officially announce the civil case regarding Commander Kairas's accusation against Federal citizen Su Mo, concerning the loss of the Kidora Planet Fortress, officially open. Now, the plaintiff will present the charges."
Sason announced with a solemn expression.
Grand Lawyer Delison cleared his throat and stood up, picking up a pre-prepared manuscript and began to speak.
"Respected judges, I represent Commander Kairas in formally accusing Mr. Su Mo to the court, of allegedly illegally luring a massive number of monsters to attack the Kidora Planet Fortress, causing large-scale damage to the Kidora Planet Fortress and heavy casualties. We are filing a civil claim, requesting that the defendant compensate a total amount of 100 trillion Star Coins!"
As soon as this compensation amount was announced, not only Su Mo and his group were stunned, but even all the people watching the trial were in an uproar.
"Heavens! 100 trillion Star Coins."
"How much money is that?"
"Damn, this is really going to be crazy. I guess selling the entire Alliance wouldn't be enough to pay for it. Isn't this asking for the moon?"
"You know nothing, the Kidora Planet Fortress is a level 6 fortress, the cost is astronomical. This price isn't excessive."
"Then Su Mo is really done for."
...
Hearing this claim amount, Su Mo also felt incredibly screwed. He couldn't help but complain to the Forged Lord Devourer.
"Is that Commander Kairas sick? Blackmailing me to death."
"He's not asking for much, it's just that you're too poor."
The Forged Lord Devourer retorted without even thinking.
"Hey, which side are you on?"
Su Mo was even more exasperated.
"Weren't you very calm?"
"Calm my ass! 100 trillion Star Coins, how can you expect me to be calm? I estimate that even if Xinghuan City were to pay, they might not be able to come up with it."
Su Mo was about to vomit blood. In that instant, he even thought about whether he should just go to the Endless Deep Space Prison and squat there.
"If you don't want to pay, then win this lawsuit."
The Forged Lord Devourer replied in a low voice.
Su Mo took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked at his main defense lawyer Winnie. Now he could only rely on them.
He saw Winnie calmly reply, "I represent my client, Mr. Su Mo, and reject all of the above accusations. I request a plea of not guilty!"
As soon as these words came out, the viewers were even more in an uproar.
"That won't work, right? He doesn't want to take any blame at all."
"Probably not."
...
Delison sneered and said, "Regarding Mr. Su Mo attracting a large number of monsters to attack the Kidora Planet Fortress, the evidence is conclusive. Lawyer Winnie, you want to reject it, don't you think it's ridiculous? If you were to question the compensation amount and make a mitigating defense, that would be barely understandable. Where does your confidence to plead not guilty come from?"
"I request to present evidence."
Winnie raised her hand and said to the judge.
"Granted!"
Sason approved.
Although Su Mo's expression was very calm, he was also very curious about how Winnie was going to defend him.
A holographic video appeared. In the video, the Fengyin Mech rushed in front of the Kidora Planet Fortress amidst the pursuit of a black mass of monsters, and then desperately threw the Negative God Fragment towards the Kidora Planet Fortress.
The screen froze on the final throwing action.
