The Dark King - Chapter 198

Chapter 198

"Longshan ruby was found in the house of a junior hunter called 'Dean'?" Michelle looked towards the disciplinary knight with the sword scar as she read the description . : "I remember well . We had investigated this case back then . 'Dean' was a suspect . He was a newcomer hunter in the Mellon consortium . He was the first scavenger to get magic marks from outside and was promoted to be a hunter . "

"Yes, he was just a junior hunter . "

"Is there any way for a junior hunter to steal one of the treasures of Milan family?"

The knight shrugged his shoulder . : "Unless the Milan family has recruited crap instead of knights . Otherwise it is unlikely . "

Michelle looked gloomy . : "If it were not for his death we could get more information about how many such cases were handled by deacon Huey . "

The disciplinary knight with the sword scar exclaimed . : "No one can resist the temptation of wealth . Even though Huey was a deacon but he was a human being at the end of the day . He had family, children, wife . Moreover he loved gambling . He spent so much but he couldn't earn that much money . "

"Anyway, wrong is wrong! Any other reason is nothing but an excuse . " Michelle exclaimed . : "The kid was clearly framed . How could he give such a contradictory verdict?"

The other knight smiled: "It is better not to talk about this outside . Because the aristocracy could get whiff of this . Let's keep it within the people of inner wall . "

"The inner wall area is more complicated than this . " Michelle frowned and didn't say anything anymore . She continued to read the following two cases .

. . .

. . .

The spacious hall . Milan family castle .

Bang! Alex threw the cup onto the floor . The value of the cup was dozens of silver coins . The tea sprinkled onto groun and soaked the red carpet . He looked at Abel in anger . : "No way? He is your son! Damn it!"

Abel's face gloomy as he replied: "I have contacted Mel and Burong families too . Moreover, they have used all the resources of the consortium . We could contact the high level judges and deacons of the magistrate but no one answered . Its because a deacon was assassinated that no one can intervene . Moreover the other consortiums newspapers are guiding and swaying the public opinion to pressure the magistrate . Scott consortium is especially active in this matter . "

Abel's fingers clenched into a fist . : "The other consortiums are putting pressure too . They directly believe that Vick is the murderer . Evidence collected within the court is open to all . So everyone is analysing it . They won't release him if we come with sufficient evidence or any other way . "

Alex said . : "Do no tell me anything! I want my grandson out! Do you get it? Out!"

Abel's mouth slightly twitched . : "I will go and contact the magistrate . " Then without following the ceremony he turned around and left .

There were several middle-aged men and ladies who were in the hall . One of the middle-aged men came forward . : "Father you don't need to worry too much . Your body is getting anxious and stressed . I have known little Vick since childhood . He is an honest knight . I'm sure he would never make such a rush decision and act upon it . "

Alex stared back at him . : "What's the matter with you? I don't care even if he did . A deacon died so he died . I want my grandson out! We should get a scapegoat then!"

The middle-aged man was stiffled . He smiled but didn't say anything .

. . .

. . .

After two days .

7:35 in the morning .

The gray radiation clouds had covered the whole city . A carriage slowly came to stop and parked in front of the magistrate . Two figures went out from the carriage . They were Dudian and Old Fulin .

Old Fulin has decided to come forward as a bailor despite Dudian's refusal . As an old aristocrat, his involvement may add a bit more success to Dudian's appeal .

Dudian took the lead and jumped out of the carriage first . Then he helped Old Fulin's aged body down the carriage . He escorted him up the stairs and they went into the magistrate .

"There are two cases that will be judged today by the court . After the first is finished then it will be your turn!" said one official who had come to meet Dudian .

The courtroom was a very spacious place . It was like a church of old era . At the moment there were a lot of people . Most of them belonged to news agencies of the consortiums .

"They are from Scott consortium . Those ones are from Green consortium . " Old Fulin pointed to people sitting in different rows and introduced their origins to Dudian .

Dudian secretly admired Forin's eyesight . He was seemingly old and lived within the Ryan castle most of them . He didn't expect that he was aware and familiar of almost everyone sitting in the courtroom . He secretly noted down .

A moment later, a stir occurred at the entrance .

Dudian and Old Fulin turned to look . Their expression changed a bit . They saw a group of seven individuals led by an old man enter the place . There was another middle-aged man dressed in black suit following after him . The others were following silently behind the middle-aged man .

"He is called Alex . He is the old patriarch of the Milan family . " Old Fulin whispered .

Dudian smiled, "I know . "

"Behind him is his son, Abel, who is also the head of the Milan family . The guy is very shrewd but his son hasn't inherited the qualities form his father . "

"It is not necessary a good thing to have a wise father . " Dudian said .

"Indeed, the little guy had earned the old patriarch favor so he was surrounded by favors and compliments . Inevitable he would burst at one point . "

Alex and Abel came to sit in a front position .

"Those are high-level butlers from Mel and Buron families . The others represent other families . " Old Fulin said in a low tone .

Dudian nodded . The patriarchs of Mel and Burong family couldn't really come in person and mix with the dirty water but they had to show some kind of support .

As the time passed more and more people came in . Official hearing began at nine o'clock .

Three people wearing white silk robes which had gold embroidery on them sat above the court as the deacons who would be ruling over . After they announced the reason for the first case the knights escorted a figure to a table . The person was Vick .

Vick had an arrogant atmosphere radiating off him just two days ago . But right now he looked slightly dirty . His hair wasn't combed and didn't look as shiny as usual . He was a bit scrawled .
