617 Judgment (Part 2) (1)

The presiding judge nodded and glanced at Xu Jingming. “We shall now have the defendant’s counsel make her statement.”

A lanky woman sat beside Xu Jingming. She was the counsel the Primordial Research Institute had selected for him.

“Everyone.” The lanky woman got up and looked around. “Let’s see what kind of person Lunardo is first. The Joint Investigation Team’s investigation information has been sent to everyone. Everyone can read it carefully.”

“Lunardo is a very incompetent person. After he came to power, he roamed many cosmic sectors and bullied many weak civilizations in the name of visiting them. He plundered benefits and forced the geniuses of weak civilizations to sign lifelong contracts. Back then, he wanted Lord Wu Ming to be his guard and servant for the rest of his life, but Lord Wu Ming didn’t agree, resulting in a conflict.” The lanky woman shook her head. “Lord Wu Ming was recruited by the Primordial Research Institute and had the confidence to reject him, but what about the geniuses of other weak civilizations? All of them ended up under his control and became his slaves.”

“If they had received proper grooming, these people stand a chance of becoming Origin lifeforms,” the lanky woman said. “From the human race’s point of view, Lunardo is a vermin.”

“After his brother, Lunarstar, inherited the throne, he gained great authority and truly revealed his fangs. As the Primestar civilization’s finance minister and the emperor’s younger brother, many families have been ruined because of him, and billions of native planets have been wiped out because of him…”

“According to the guests on Lulu, the evidence obtained from the investigation team is only the tip of the iceberg. It proves that Lunardo has committed heinous crimes.”

“Compared to that,” the lanky woman said, “Lord Wu Ming was born in a weak emerging civilization and only came into contact with the evolutionary method at the age of 29. He was already an Origin lifeform at the age of 60 and became a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform at the age of 251… Ever since he became an Origin lifeform, he has been fighting the Hellions and Void Celestials. He has killed countless Hellion Origin lifeforms.”

“All these years, he has given up on his private time and evolutionary cultivation time to intercept the Hellions. His strength alone has completely changed the situation on the Hellion battlefield,” the lanky woman continued. “He volunteered to head to the Void Celestial battlefield and won several consecutive battles. None of the Void Celestials’ younger generation could threaten Lord Wu Ming. Eventually, their cosmic legend launched a sneak attack, causing Lord Wu Ming to be corrupted by high-dimensional powers.”

“After the high-dimensional corruption, although Lord Wu Ming is constantly tortured by the corruption, he still heads to the Hellion front line time and time again to intercept them,” the lanky woman said. “Worried that he would lose control after his corruption, he hasn’t even stepped foot on his homeworld, Earth, or reunite with his family.”

“Lord Wu Ming’s character is obvious to all; he’s devoted to the human race. Even though he is corrupted by high-dimensional powers, he hasn’t stopped!”

The lanky woman said, “And when he discovered Lunardo’s sins… Being corrupted by high-dimensional powers, he couldn’t control himself. He wanted to uphold the dignity of the law and kill a vermin like Lunardo!”

“Yes, he couldn’t completely control himself because of the very high-dimensional powers he is corrupted with. Even so, I still think that he did a fine job! It suffices to intimidate more vermin,” the lanky woman said. “I rest my case.”

The presiding judge nodded when he heard that.

“Uphold the dignity of the law? What a joke. He has no right to enforce the law on the royal family!” the Primestar civilization’s royal spokesperson said. “He is indisputably violating the law!”

“Lord Wu Ming is corrupted by high-dimensional powers and can’t perfectly control himself. This is very understandable,” the lanky woman remarked.

“And a lunatic can’t be punished?” the royal spokesperson shouted.

“Choose your words wisely. Lord Wu Ming has contributed greatly to the entire cosmic human race. He lost control because he was ambushed by aliens. In light of your disrespectful words, I request the court to mete out some punishment,” the lanky woman said angrily.

The royal family’s spokesperson retorted, “You call Lunardo names like ‘scum’ and ‘vermin.’ Why can’t I call Wu Ming a ‘lunatic?’”

“Silence.”

Even the sale of the cosmic fruits was in credits.

Redmond had gained something from that special cosmic fruit, allowing his strength to improve further. He was completely confident in becoming a high-dimensional lifeform shortly.

“More than two billion credits?” In the spectator stands, be it the Lv. 10 council members or the royal family representatives, they were a little shocked.

Two billion credits represented outstanding contributions on the one hand, and a huge amount of wealth on the other.

Many people looked at Xu Jingming differently. Some were envious, jealous, and some had other thoughts.

“Spokesperson of the Primestar civilization’s royal family, you are disrespectful to one who has contributed greatly. Since this is your first offense, I’ll fine you 100 million cosmic dollars. You will be expelled from the court if you repeat this transgression,” the presiding judge said.

Cosmic humans had all kinds of rights to protect those who contributed greatly. They were the heroes of the entire species.

“Yes, Your Honor.” The royal family’s spokesperson was rather aggrieved, but he could only accept the punishment obediently. 100 million cosmic dollars was nothing, but if he was expelled from court for another offense… it would be troublesome. The royal family needed to immediately arrange for another spokesperson.

“The other party believed that Lunardo deserved death, but that was because the joint investigation team had found enough evidence,” the royal spokesperson continued. “When Wu Ming took action, there was no evidence to prove that Lunardo deserved death.”

…

The counsels from both sides spoke one after another. At the same time, they provided evidence to the council members, royal representatives, and judges.
