The defense attorney explained, "Your Honor, I want to inform this court that my client wasn't aware of Shadowbane's actions until he disclosed them in this courtroom.""There is no way my client could be held guilty of this crime without better evidence proving his involvement in the crime. Also, my client shouldn't be held responsible for the actions Shadowbane had carried out in his interest."Shadowbane's eyes flushed with horror as the defense lawyer just denied him. He couldn't believe it after he had done all that to secure Mr. Huge's reputation.He thought the lawyer was their mouthpiece to help them all, but with the look of things, it seemed he was only after Mr. Huge's freedom.Mr. Thompson didn't let it slide as he rose to his feet, "Your Honor, Shadowbane will never carry out such an action without Mr. Huge's awareness.""Even if possibly he doesn't know about this particular matter, that would have been their definite way of handling such a situation. Throwing the body o
"You can all return to your seats." David urged them all, but they all remained reluctant in the same position."We are okay with this position, Young Master!" They all chorused.David wondered why their groveling was necessary at this time.The spectators were more dumbfounded because most of them were even afraid to go close to him. They were still stupefied by how a ghost had found his way into the courtroom.But they all couldn't still agree if he was a ghost, seeing how smooth his skin was and how handsome he looked.However, most of the spectators still didn't find a point in rushing toward him, let alone bowing before him.He was just a lowly, poor, live-in son-in-law. They couldn't find anything special about him.He used to be worthless and valueless, they all believed nothing had changed that.The fact that a whole Don Clinton and the rest of them were growling before him still left them in total darkness.But the truth was, both Don Clinton and the others all had their reas
They were all still in the middle of befuddlement as they had the same question boiling in their hearts to ask David.The question running around their minds was, "How was he able to survive?"The narration was quite unbelievable to them all. However, they couldn't doubt it as it went in line with Shadowbane's explanation too.Shadowbane is a tough person; there is no way he would lie to himself, not even if he was forced to do so.They all believed that even if he was forced to lie to himself, it would never be a nobody like David who would make him lie to himself.Not only the spectators have the question to ask David, but Mr. Huge, Mr. Ralph, and Don Clinton wanted to ask him the question too. Nobody in the courtroom was excluded, as that was beyond ordinary.Some of them were even assuming that he was a semi-god at this point. They believed he was worth it.Judge James was dumbstruck too. Just then, his voice came through as he asked David, "How were you able to survive that?"The
A new round of stares returned to the family at this time, as some of them began to panic. Their eyes began to twitch and become uneasy. They began to feel uncomfortable with the unexpected attention focused on them now.Some of the Wendy family were already cursing David in their minds. They never expected the loser to cause them such a stir.Their hatred for David escalated the more they glared at him. They hated him more as they knew him for always causing them trouble in the past.Even though they all had a worried mind, as they had no idea where their matter might lead, they still all had a hateful look at him.As for Granny, she had remained startled and mute since David uttered the unexpected. She nearly peed on herself during this period.She never expected any problem for her family anymore, not even this time.The tension in her body was already making her feel so uneasy.Well, David only wanted them to feel a touch of his significance now. That was his reason for making the
The court session had ended, and the criminals had been taken away. Most of Mr. Huge's boys were taken along with him, as they were all involved in one or two crimes too.The few among Mr. Huge's boys who remained gathered around Mr. Kenneth. They were all questioning him for being too weak in handling the case.They concluded that his incompetence led their boss to jail. They should have beaten Mr. Kenneth up at that spot, but they wouldn't like to bring another problem for themselves. For that, they all had a rethink and composed themselves.They could only complain or blame Mr. Kenneth for his incompetence or whatever, but what had gone had gone. Nothing could change the reality of Mr. Huge being sentenced to jail.Outside the court, there were people around David rejoicing for his win. These people included Gideon and Gerald, the City Market traders, and some other few people.As for Don Clinton, if he knew that Mr. Huge and his boys had once treated Master David as badly as that,
David walked a few distances and then took a halt in front of the cold glances. They were all surprised at how confident he was standing before them.As for David, he didn't even count the whole of the family before him as a big deal. They didn't even mean a thing to him now.It was to their puzzlement how he dared to look at them all in the eye, despite how scornful their faces were. These made them have a little fright in their hearts.At this point, they all began to ponder over whether he had truly become extraordinary, more than the useless son-in-law they used to know.His aura alone was so electrifying that none of them could deny his presence at the moment. This was an effect of the system.Also, the narration of how David escaped death was more like a mystery to them too, even though they weren't ready to agree with it.David's presence had made them all go mute at this point. None of them could say a thing. They were only staring at him badly, including Alfred and Patrick to
The sound of Tony's gritted teeth was heard by the people around him. He was clenching his fist more tightly the more David looked so irritating to him.'I have promised to beat you up in the past, and now you just asked for it!' Tony was threatening in his mind without moving an inch.The fact that David wasn't even moved by his angered face was getting him more agitated.Then he thought to himself, 'Does he think I care about the cooked-up tale he just explained in the courtroom? I don't care who the hell you think you are! A semi-god under my foot!'Tony didn't agree with all the explanations David had given in the courtroom. He believed they were all fiction, and he could never believe such.But why wasn't Tony voicing out his thoughts? Was he secretly afraid of David?The onlookers watching the scene couldn't find a reason why David didn't allow the Wendy family members' case to be handled according to the law. They wondered why he was still so kind towards them."They wouldn't b
Sarah and the rest of her friends had a faint smile on their faces now. It seemed their goal had already been quickly accomplished.They had expected Elena to argue the matter further with them. But Elena quickly gave up on it, as it was about to get her embarrassed.Elena is the kind of person who is so full of pride that she can't give anyone the chance to embarrass her.Elena is ready to safeguard her pride with her last breath, irrespective of whatever damage it will cause."Since I have announced it myself, what are your next plans?" Elena asked her friends shamelessly, with a touch of anger in her voice.She can't afford to allow them to shame the shameless. But Sarah and the rest were already relieved now, as their goal had been accomplished.Their faces only widened more in mocking smiles.Their goal was to embarrass Elena publicly at all costs, and they had already achieved it.What Elena didn't know was that her friends had intentionally invited her to the Cicada Hotel dinne
