The End of the World: Chaos
Chapter 229: Constipation
After realizing this, the two were no longer confused and began to deal with the people in front of them, answering them one by one. After about half an hour, they finally pushed through the crowd and entered the government office.
Only then did he notice that the owners of the two newspapers were already here, with sullen faces, looking completely different from before.
At first, they didn't take the matter seriously and paid little attention to it, so it had limited impact on them.
The matter could have been covered up and compensated, but because Councillor Danny acted recklessly and didn't know the rules, they were put in a passive position.
Yesterday, the share prices of their newspaper and other businesses had fallen by about six-sevenths. If they lose the lawsuit today, the losses will be incalculable and they may even suffer disgrace.
Although discrimination against mutants is common among the people, racial discrimination is politically correct. Once the case is lost, there will be a mess.
However, the possibility of losing the case should be small.
They have a strong team, all of whom are top-notch lawyers with great reputations. Legal journals often use the cases they handle as benchmarks.
What about Xika and Ruth?
Two young people who were just starting out, one of whom was blind, had just passed the judicial examination one or two years ago, and their loss rate in the cases they handled was as high as 30%!
Their losing rate is only 10%, and the number of cases is dozens of times that of the other side.
Extremely experienced.
Today, we must turn the tide!
The people from the two newspapers were full of confidence and their expressions relaxed a little. After sneering at Ruth and Sika, they no longer paid attention to them.
They believe they have a sure win, but they should not provoke them easily, otherwise it will be dangerous. If they are pushed into a corner and use dirty tricks, how can they bear it!
Seeing that they were sensible, Ruth and Sika did not delay any further and went to find their own lawyer.
"You're finally here!" a fat lawyer said to the two of them with sweat on his forehead.
Faced with a group of top lawyers, they feel tremendous pressure.
"How is the progress of the evidence?" Xika asked directly without worry.
"It's still the same ones, but filing a lawsuit like this will cause serious problems. The other party is an expert in this area. If the judge and the jury are slightly dissatisfied with the mutant group, the situation may be dangerous!" the fat lawyer continued.
Hearing this, Ruth and Sika disagreed. So what if he had a top lawyer? So what if the judge and jury discriminated against mutants?
In any case, they will definitely win this lawsuit today.
So confident!
Why are you so confident?
Based on the fact that everyone from the judge to the relevant personnel are our own people.
Cough!
This trial was really too much. I don't know how they arranged it. From the judge to the jury, to other people in positions of power, they were all on their side...
Although the two newspapers had golden lawyers, they were no match for a disabled lawyer who was new to the business. This wise man named Matt Murdock, also known as Daredevil, was able to see through everything.
Judges and juries are biased against people who are different? If you continue to discriminate, you will never win in this life!
The fat lawyer had no idea what was going on, but Daredevil, Matt Murdock, on the other side, heard something subtle.
Ruth and Sika's heartbeats were as calm as usual. Either they didn't care about the outcome of the case at all, or they firmly believed that the outcome was already decided and were not afraid of any possible disturbances.
Obviously, the latter is more credible and has a better chance of winning.
He was puzzled. Where did he get such confidence? The situation was not perfect at the moment. Even if he was confident, he shouldn't be so sure, right?
However, before he could think any more, the judge announced the opening of the court session.
The court was silent. Sika sat in the plaintiff's seat, and the two newspapers sat in the defendant's seat. The trial officially began.
However, Matt Murdoch never expected that everything would go so smoothly.
During the trial, the case progressed step by step as if with divine help. The other side's top lawyer had almost no chance to speak, and the judge and jury were extremely convinced.
If he hadn't known how the jury members were selected, he would have almost suspected that these people were arranged by his side.
The other side also had doubts, but they were quickly dispelled. The U.S. jury system is rigorous and such an omission would be unlikely to occur.
Throughout the trial, the heads of the two newspapers looked confused.
The situation was far from expected, it was indeed one-sided, but it was not them who were leaning towards it, but Sika and Ruth.
They had no idea how things had come to this.
Finally, the verdict was handed down without any suspense. The result of losing the case, the huge compensation and the imprisonment were all severe.
They even questioned whether they were in the United States, a capitalist society, and should not favor capital forces like theirs, or at least give them some consideration. Are fairness and justice just slogans?
Has the wind changed? Have we been left behind by the times?
"Hey, I remember you were very arrogant just now!" Xika stood in front of the two men with the attitude of a winner, speaking sarcastically.
The two were silent, their eyes filled with resentment.
Compensation and imprisonment are not a big deal. You just have to pay some money and serve some time. With money, prison can become a paradise.
Movie theaters, tennis courts, and golf courses are all available for money, and the Internet is unobstructed and no different from the outside world.
However, losing a lawsuit and going to jail have completely different meanings. You know, the company's stock price has fallen and is now in a precarious situation. They are worried that if they go to jail, their business may be ruined.
There are many people who are adding insult to injury, and there are still other issues that need to be resolved.
Without money, you have nothing. Then, the heavenly prison will turn into a hell.
This possibility has a very high probability.
If they didn't know they were no match for Sika, they would have wanted to kill him right now.
"People should not be too proud. Pride will inevitably lead to failure. Even if you are a powerful alien, you cannot escape blame. Be careful of bringing disaster upon yourself!" One person could not help but warn.
"Can I take this as a threat?" Xika raised his eyebrows slightly and asked back.
"Whatever you want!"
"I'm not asking you!"
Xika turned to Matt Murdock and said, "Do you think that what you just said is a threat?"
"Of course, do you need me to teach him a lesson for you?" Before Matt could answer, the fat lawyer couldn't wait to speak first.
"Based on what happened just now, what effect do you think it will have?" Xika asked, his eyes lighting up.
"The previous sentence can be increased. His actions are contempt of court and intimidation of witnesses. It should be okay to increase his sentence by one or two years!"
"Let's do it!" Xika glanced at the pale man and said calmly.
There is no word "forgiveness" in Xika's dictionary.
She kept in mind Yang Yi's words:
If you beat the snake and you don't die, you will suffer the backlash.
Ruth understood this very well, but she was not as straightforward as Sika. She was just thinking about how to find useful information.
Ruth refused to believe that either of them was innocent.
At that time, it would be enough to keep them imprisoned for a few more decades. Since they have offended us, how can we let them go so easily?
Ruth decided to just find a spy from the Eight-Faced Buddha to deal with them.
Although the two are billionaires, they are still human beings after all. A few spies are enough and there is no need to be too complicated.
Having made up her mind, Ruth said to Xika, "Xika, stop talking nonsense with them, let's go!"
Sika had no objection and instructed Matt and others to handle the follow-up matters. The two left the court together.
Then, as expected, I encountered those reporters again.
There are cameras and sharp questions coming one after another.
Ruth and Sika were in no mood to get angry, so after answering a few questions, they got rid of the crowd and drove home.
After a quick ride, we finally arrived at our residence in the evening.
"Yang Yi, didn't you see... Why, what's with that expression on your face?" Xika was about to describe the situation on the scene, but saw that Yang Yi looked constipated.
Ruth also noticed it and looked at Yang Yi in surprise...
