Attack in the Courtroom

Reality is always cruel.

It is not black and white, and the law is not entirely a tool for upholding justice.

Especially in a society like this, a lawyer's silver tongue can very well win sympathy for criminals and save them from punishment.

Matt chooses to be both Super Hero and a lawyer because he wants to not only physically defeat his enemies, but also legally bring them to justice.

"But I want to remind you, Mr. Matt Murdoch, that there is currently no evidence to suggest that Mr. Stromm is the Green Goblin," the opposing lawyer said to Matt, then turned to the judge and explained, "The person who brought Mr. Stromm to the Police Station was a masked criminal known as Spider-Man."

He went so far as to label Spider-Man a criminal, citing numerous Daily Bugle reports to support his point.

Everyone knows that the Daily Bugle never says anything good about Spider-Man.

What broke Peter's heart even more was that he had taken all the photos in those reports...

The two sides argued endlessly, and Matt and Norman both felt very troubled because the Green Goblin seemed fearless, and more importantly, the jury seemed to be somewhat biased towards Stromm.

Clearly, both of them had realized that Green Goblin had someone backing him.

They were absolutely right.

Standing behind the Green Goblin at this moment is none other than Kingpin.

After several days of waiting, Stromm finally agreed to give him the Lizard Serum in exchange for his freedom.

It must be said that although Stromm has become the Green Goblin, he is still no match for the insane Norman. He is just a Joker with the Green Goblin mask and power, and his mentality is far inferior to Norman's.

He feared that Kingpin would truly abandon him, and he would spend the rest of his life in prison, with everything he owned going to Norman.

However, Stromm wasn't entirely stupid; he didn't immediately reveal the location of the serum, but instead Kingpin he was taken away before handing it over to him.

Otherwise, he would truly lose all value.

For this reason, Kingpin immediately arranged for Stromm to have a lawyer defend him.

Kingpin was a criminal, no doubt, but at his level, it was impossible for him to resort to violence for everything.

In fact, quite the opposite, Kingpin values rules more than most people.

The reason is simple: he is very good at using the rules.

In cases like Green Goblin's, if all that's needed is for him to win the lawsuit, then Kingpin won't need to do anything major.

If possible, he didn't want to make a big fuss or attract attention.

Now everything is going exactly as he wished.

Once Green Goblin is released from prison, he can lead all the villains he has gathered to launch an attack on Spider-Man.

In court.

Peter very worried.

If this trial fails because Spider-Man- Man's reputation is so bad, he vows he will never sell another photo to the Daily Bugle again in his life!

Fortunately, Matt was well-prepared.

"Your Honor, the Daily Bugle is a private media outlet, and all its statements are inevitably biased. This evidence is insufficient to prove that Spider-Man is a masked criminal, nor can it dispel the suspicion that Stromm is the Green Goblin."

Matt said, "We have a lot of video evidence that proves Stromm is the Green Goblin."

"Furthermore, the New York City Police Department Commissioner is willing to testify on our behalf that Spider-Man is not a criminal."

Matt smiled; he had already received help from Chief Stacy before the trial even began.

"Chief Stacy?"

Peter almost screamed.

He never imagined that one day Officer Stacy would speak up for Spider-Man.

Previously, in all the New York Police Department reports, Spider-Man was portrayed as a lawless and arrogant individual.

At that moment, Stacy, dressed in a police uniform, stepped forward, her solemn demeanor leaving a lasting impression on Peter.

Has he changed his personality?

Peter thought to himself that it was his continuous good deeds over this period that had changed Stacy's opinion.

But in reality, George Stacy still hates Spider-Man.

However, this was only because he felt that Spider-Man's actions disrupted the police's plans and that the police had no right to punish the criminal, not because he thought Spider-Man was a heinous criminal.

He might hate Spider-Man.

But compared to that, he was even less willing to see dangerous individuals like the Green Goblin get acquitted.

That's a blatant disregard for the law and justice!

A sheriff's testimony is far more trustworthy than that of a private media outlet, and then Matt presented the evidence piece by piece.

Gradually, Stromm's previously arrogant expression turned ugly.

Because he discovered that a large portion of the evidence contained things he had never done!

Stromm was furious.

Accusing him of stealing medicine and equipment is one thing—after all, he was the one who did it—but tell me, as a major shareholder of Osborn, isn't it a bit too much for me to assault an elderly cleaning lady?

"Norman Osborn, you're slandering me!"

Enraged, Stromm slammed his fist into the table in front of him, smashing it to pieces with tremendous force, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere.

Seeing this, Norman looked smug.

"The evidence is conclusive, Stromm."

"You say you're not the Green Goblin, but your Superpowers can't be faked."

If Stromm can be proven to be the Green Goblin, proving the other charges won't be difficult.

Meanwhile, Kingpin, watching this scene through a miniature camera, also looked displeased.

His respect for the rules is predicated on the rules being in his favor.

Now, thanks to Matt's defense, Chief Stacy's testimony, and Stromm's own utterly foolish blunder, the chances of acquittal have become slim.

To be honest, if Kingpin hadn't wanted to get the serum he was hiding, Kingpin have had Bullseye shoot him dead long ago.

But now, he has to resort to special measures.

The enormous white monster first memorized Matt and Stacy's appearance with its tiny eyes, then turned its head to look at Bullseye: "Get them all ready."

"Yes."

Bullseye nodded, then turned and left.

Several tens of minutes later, on the top of a building a few blocks away from the courthouse, several supervillains gathered together.

As Kingpin's direct subordinate, Bullseye undoubtedly wielded the most power among these men.

"Rescue the Green Goblin, and you'll get a million dollars, right?"

Before taking action, a strange figure wearing a purple cloak and carrying claw-like weapons looked at Bullseye and asked.

"Don't worry, Prowler, Kingpin is very trustworthy when it comes to money," Bullseye said.

That's the truth.

Money is Kingpin's law; everything he does is for money and profit.

Therefore, he also highly values the power and constraint that money brings. If he easily breaches the contract, then the wealth he has painstakingly accumulated will lose its meaning.

"I don't care about money."

At this moment, another man dressed in wilderness attire spoke up. Unlike the others who were trying to conceal themselves, he was dressed very lightly, his resolute face made no attempt to hide his true intentions, and he wore almost no protective gear. A necklace of wild beast fangs hung on his body as an ornament.

--Kraven the Hunter.

This world-renowned and powerful hunter's target is none other than Spider-Man, the hero who has appeared in New York.

If he can hunt this prey, then his trip will not have been in vain.

But...

"I heard there are two Spider-Man? Will they both appear this time?"

"I can't guarantee that," Bullseye said. "But don't worry, Spider-Man is an obstacle for Kingpin will eliminate him no matter what."

"Then there's no problem."

Kraven smiled slightly, like a wild beast baring its fangs; he was like a majestic lion, his fur vest fluttering in the wind.

During the long hunt, he gradually became dissatisfied with fighting wild animals, which were no match for him at all.

When Kingpin approached him and told him about Spider-Man, Kraven immediately became interested.

If wild animals can't find pleasure in it, what about Superman?

The powerful Spider-Man is a rare and desirable prey.

Therefore, unlike the Prowler only wanted to finish the job quickly and collect his money, Kraven didn't care about the money at all. He couldn't wait for Spider-Man to appear, and the more the better!

At that moment, the wind began to blow around them.

Bang!

After a puff of smoke, a group of ninjas dressed in purplish-red ninja outfits, their faces completely concealed, suddenly appeared around them.

The Hand ninjas also arrived.

At the same time.

Inside the courtroom.

After Stromm was consumed by rage, court security guards immediately used stun guns on him, rendering him unable to move.

Matt, seizing the opportunity, launched a barrage of accusations and charges, overwhelming the opposing lawyer.

The lawyer on the other end was also quite helpless.

He was Kingpin's lawyer, and in terms of professionalism, he was certainly no less capable than Matt.

He was able to answer all the questions regarding Stromm's past crimes, but the guy himself had to reveal them. Moreover, he was completely unaware of many of the accusations Matt made against Stromm.

Without preparation, he was naturally no match for Matt.

At that moment, the judge struck the gavel.

Thump, thump, thump!

The knocking echoed in the hall, but for some reason, it made people uneasy.

Peter frowned, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Not only did he have this feeling, Matt seemed to have sensed something was wrong; his ears twitched slightly, as if taking in all the information around him like radar.

Amidst the echoing tapping, another sound reverberated.

Someone wants to rescue Green Goblin in court!

He couldn't help but think about it, and subconsciously tightened his grip on the guide cane in his hand.

Suddenly, Matt whirled around and lunged at Norman, yelling, "Watch out!"

The next second, a huge explosion was heard!

Boom!!

The walls of the courthouse collapsed instantly from the powerful blast of gunpowder, and the flashes and thick smoke from the bombs obscured everyone's view.

Peter tackled Harry a split second before the explosives detonated.

At that moment, he raised his head and looked over, only to see several dark figures standing together against the light through the gap in the wall that had been bombed.

Just as he was about to tear off his coat, Harry's worried voice rang out.

"Peter, are you alright?"

Peter glanced at him, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Harry!"

"What?" Harry was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a dark shadow rushing towards his head.

Peter gently awakened Harry's slumbering mind, knocked him unconscious, then picked Harry up and carried him to a safe place.

In an instant, the entire courtroom descended into chaos. The jurors and the seemingly dignified judge had never witnessed such a scene before. They began shouting and screaming, scrambling to the ground in a panic, trying to escape for their lives.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing this, Green Goblin threw his head back and laughed wildly, shouting, "You've come to save me, Kingpin!"

This idiot actually dared to shout Kingpin's name under these circumstances, which infuriated Fisk was watching everything from behind.

The so-called Underground Emperor is someone who cannot be brought to the light!

Even if it's just a title, now everyone knows that Kingpin hijacked the courthouse, so it's easy to imagine that his gang will be targeted by higher authorities for a long time to come.

Kingpin?

Matt frowned slightly, and despite his blindness, he instinctively glanced at Osborn.

"Are you alright, Mr. Osborn?"

"Fine."

Norman pushed him away.

His expression was not good, because Norman had heard of Kingpin's reputation.

Or rather, very few top capitalists were Kingpin; even the Stark Industries had heard of Kingpin's name when Obadiah was still around.

Tony was completely unaware of all this.

The more Norman knew about Kingpin, the more worried he became.

However, he did not hide, but immediately began searching for Harry and Peter.

He looked up and saw Peter holding Harry, hiding away. The two children were alright, which relieved him.

But then he realized that now was not the time to relax.

Because those supervillains didn't stop after smashing the wall.

The Prowler charged toward the center of the courtroom like a purple phantom, with only one goal—to take down the Green Goblin and claim the bounty.

Don't even think about it!

At this moment, Sheriff George Stacy naturally wouldn't back down. Without much thought, he immediately drew his pistol and fired at the Prowler.

BOOM!!

Gunshots echoed continuously, but the Prowler had already sensed something was amiss.

The technology he possessed greatly enhanced his movement speed; while not as fast as a bullet, it was much faster than Stacy's aiming speed.

In an instant, George Stacy's magazine was emptied, and the Prowler hadn't been hit at all.

With a gun pointed at him, the Prowler turned around without hesitation and charged at George, his metal claws slicing through the air and aiming for his heart!

"Go to hell!"

The claws magnified rapidly in George Stacy's pupils, the air stinging his eyes!

"I'm sorry, Gwen, it looks like I won't be able to come home for dinner tonight."

He closed his eyes, the thought flashing through his mind, but he waited a long time without feeling any stinging pain.

So he opened his eyes.

He saw a figure that surprised him.

Spider-Man?

Thank you to: Passerby who loves novels and Yu Chengmo who cried like a dog for their 100-point donation.

So many things happened today. First, after looking at the apartment, I was preparing to move quickly, but my electric scooter broke down halfway there. I waited for the repairman under the scorching sun and found out that the circuit breaker and controller were broken, but the repairman didn't have the controller. So I had to push the heavy electric scooter back.

Then I left with some clothes in my suitcase.

When it arrived, I discovered that another screw on the back of the computer had broken off and was missing, and the base was cracked. I almost thought it was unusable, but thankfully I tried it out later and it still worked normally...

My mental state is very poor due to the torment. I still need to write a thousand words, so I won't try to reach 10,000 words today.
