Chapter 1298 The Iron Fist of Justice(2/2)
The reporters asked all kinds of questions, some of which were so tricky that they made people want to vomit blood in embarrassment.
"excuse me!"
Thyssen swarmed up with the Krupp Giant. He pushed the reporters away and created a passage.
"I told you not to come!"
Downton hates this environment.
"We are your family and friends!"
Sissi has long been used to it.
In the court, reporters occupied half of the seats, followed by family members of some victims, as well as civilian representatives, noble representatives, and representatives of the Holy See.
Because Downton is a witness and a whistleblower, he has to wait in the surveillance room for summons, so he doesn't know what the process will be like.
After about an hour, an inspector showed up.
"Your Excellency Downton, it's time for you to testify in court."
Downton walked into the court and found that the situation was not good. Hassell was sitting in the dock with an arrogant look on his face, while Hu Tao and Elian both looked angry.
"Witness, please state your name, gender, age, and identity!"
The judge announced.
"Damn it, these people really want to make things difficult for Downton."
Sissi was very angry. As a witness, this kind of information does not need to be stated in court. Now doing this makes Downton look like a prisoner.
"Please state!"
The judge's face was full of seriousness and he looked very decent.
“Now it’s up to the defendant’s lawyer to ask questions!”
After Downton finished speaking, the judge announced, and the lawyer with a mustache immediately stood up.
"Lord Downton, so you didn't see Hassell commit the crime with your own eyes?"
"The kidnapper admitted it."
Downton explained.
"I'm asking you, please answer if you have any?"
The lawyer interrupted Downton.
"No!"
Downton's answer made Elaine and the others nervous. Her brother was definitely no match for these barristers.
In this verbal confrontation, Downton went to the disadvantage, and Hassell smiled more and more happily.
"I extracted the soul of a kidnapper, and the soul information will not be fake!"
Downton retorted.
"Ah, so cruel, but Mr. Downton, soul messages cannot be used as evidence." The lawyer shrugged his shoulders and shook his head regretfully, "Your Honor, I have finished asking."
"The court is adjourned now. The result will be announced in ten minutes!"
The jury left and discussions took place backstage.
"what happened?"
Downton asked.
"Trouble is, the kidnappers insisted that they were members of the Brotherhood and had nothing to do with Hasel. Moreover, the victims also pointed the finger at the Brotherhood and did not mention Hasel at all."
Elaine was very anxious.
"If Hassell hasn't settled things after so many days, he is no longer worthy of being a count."
Downton was not surprised at all.
"The question now is, he will acquit you and then accuse you of violent assault!"
Sissy frowned. With Downton's status, the most he could be fined was a small amount of money, but his reputation would be ruined and he would be stained for the rest of his life.
While waiting anxiously, the court reopened.
"After the unanimous decision of the jury, Earl Hassell was not guilty and was released in court." The judge paused, then continued, "Downton was convicted by Hassell for five crimes including intentional injury, breaking into the house at night, etc.
The Earl of Er accuses you!"
Wow!
The whole place was in an uproar, and all the reporters' Divi Crystals were aimed at Downton, wanting to see his attitude.
"quiet!"
The judge banged the hammer hard to silence the courtroom.
"The verdict is now, Downton apologizes to Earl Hassell in court!"
The judge spoke righteously.
"These people are crazy!"
Hutao suddenly stood up, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to hit someone.
"calm!"
Sissi hugged Hutao and said, "Don't make things worse."
"Haha, I told you before that I am innocent. It's you, the mad dog, who bites people!"
Hassell walked up to Downton, lit a cigar, pointed at Downton's nose and cursed.
Downton ignored him and looked at the girls he rescued. They heard the testimonies of the kidnappers, but this time, no one spoke.
The girls were so ashamed that they avoided Downton's sight.
"Civilians are civilians. Even if you put on the coat of a noble, you can't enter our circle." Hassell came closer to Downton and stared into his eyes. "We have the final say on how to play this world. It's us.
Making rules!"
"The iron fist of justice will crush everything!"
Downton retorted.
"Haha, justice? That kind of thing is the toilet paper of those in power, something that can be thrown away after use!" Hassel laughed arrogantly, "I am the bad guy, but can you punish me?" Wuyou Novel Network did not
Jump word.
Downton looked at Hassell.
"Not convinced? Then bite me!"
Hassell blew out a puff of smoke at Downton and snorted coldly, "Apologise to me, loudly, and you reporters, record this scene for me. This is the number one general in the north, Frankfurt's new recruit."
The master apologized to me. This scene is definitely the most glorious moment for our family!"
Needless to say, Hassell said that reporters’ Divi Crystals were already aimed at Downton.
"Apologize?"
Downton asked rhetorically.
"don't want!"
Sissi stopped her. At this time, she must hold on, otherwise once she admits it, it will be confirmed that Downton was at fault.
"Hurry up, my little lover is still waiting for me to go back and pamper her! Lucky for her!"
Hassell urged.
"Then hold your head high and raise your chin!"
Downton scoffed.
"Haha, you're right!"
Hassel crossed his arms and said, "I hate your height. Come on, bend down and bow!"
Under the attention of the whole audience, Downton smiled suddenly, then pulled back his right arm, and like a long bow under the full moon, he shot out quickly with a bang!
boom!
Hassell, who was punched on the chin, spun around, knocking chairs along the way, and the air was filled with his blood-stained teeth.
"Since the courts of Britannia cannot administer justice, let me do it!"
Chapter completed!
