Outlaw Adam
Medical Center.
VIP delivery room.
"Register?"
Rachel was a little confused. "Tomorrow?"
"Certainly."
Adam laughed and said, "This is the last chance. If you don't register, Emma will be born an illegitimate child, and Leonard will probably have a heart-to-heart talk with you then."
"Register!"
Rachel immediately agreed.
"Is it too late?"
Monica worriedly said, "The fastest way to register is in Las Vegas, where you can get it done, but Rachel can't go there right now."
"It's not just Las Vegas on the West Coast."
Joey exclaimed, "We have Atlantic City in New Jersey on the East Coast! People like to get married there!"
It is now 1998.
Atlantic City, along with Las Vegas, is one of the two major gambling cities in the United States and is on the verge of reaching its peak.
The area boasts beautiful scenery, stunning beaches, and comfortable resorts, and is also close to New York, a hub for the wealthy, benefiting from the "gambling city's wealth-attracting effect."
Atlantic City is a top choice for many East Coast couples to get married.
"That won't work."
Monica shook her head and said, "According to New York State law, it will take at least three days, and Atlantic City is no exception."
"Perhaps we could find a boat, sail to international waters, and have the captain officiate their wedding?"
Chandler suggested.
The United States uses the common law system.
On the high seas, the captain's authority is supreme, and naturally, he also has the right to officiate at passengers' weddings at any time.
"I have a boat, and I am the captain!"
Joey immediately perked up and raised his hand, shouting, "I can officiate your wedding!"
"New York is right by the ocean, so it's very convenient to go out to sea by boat. That's feasible."
Monica nodded.
"Stop overthinking."
Adam had to interrupt, laughing, "It's not as complicated as you think. Have you forgotten who I am?"
"No!"
Joey objected. "The captain's method of officiating the wedding is good, let's use this method!"
"Oh?"
Adam hit the nail on the head. "How many people can your little boat carry? Are they all going to hug each other to witness a wedding?"
"..."
Joey was speechless.
He bought the sailboat when he was down on his luck, after attending an auction with Rachel. He had naively raised his hand, thinking it was just a joke, only to discover later that raising your hand at an auction carries legal consequences, forcing him to buy the sailboat on installment.
It's not very big.
It was indeed very crowded with so many people going up.
"It's more lively when it's crowded."
Joey muttered resentfully.
"Even if it's possible, it's best if Rachel doesn't leave the hospital."
Adam ignored Joey.
"We can't go to Las Vegas, and we can't go to sea."
Monica asked, puzzled, "Rachel could give birth at any time, is there any way to register immediately?"
"Judge!"
Adam smiled and gave the final answer.
"Judge?"
Everyone was completely bewildered.
"Under normal circumstances, the registration process in New York State takes at least three days."
Adam revealed the secret. "But in the United States, there are exceptions to everything. As long as we convince the judge, the waiting time can be omitted."
"Is it possible to do it this way?"
Everyone was an ordinary person, and they found it very amazing when they heard it.
"Certainly."
Adam laughed and said, "Law is no different from human sentiment. Even whether a crime has been committed or not is decided by the jury. For such a small matter, as long as the judge nods, it can be handled as a special case."
Otherwise, would soldiers about to go overseas want to get married and also have to wait for the return of the war god?
Everyone suddenly realized.
"But I'm not a soldier about to go to war overseas, am I?"
Ross was a little flustered.
"This is just one example."
Adam said speechlessly, "The point is that as long as the judge accepts your reasoning, that's enough. Don't worry, you don't need to rack your brains to make up reasons; I'll take care of it for you."
"How do we do it?"
Ross was still a little confused.
Everyone rolled their eyes in unison.
Please!
Monica quipped, "Adam is so persuasive, which judge wouldn't give him face?"
"Haha, rich people really have a lot of face!"
Phoebe pouted.
"Stop being so sour."
Adam laughed and said, "Make money! This is nothing. As long as you have enough money, you can get a marriage certificate without waiting for a few days, let alone just skip the waiting period. Even if you are a serial killer, there are countless ways to continue to get away with it in the United States."
"Impossible!"
Ross exclaimed, "How is that possible!"
"Leaving aside other complicated operations."
Adam looked at him. "How about the simplest way, get a pardon from the President?"
"..."
Ross was speechless.
This method will certainly work.
In the United States, the President has the power to pardon anyone.
"But, but the President wouldn't do that!"
Ross was unwilling to accept this possibility.
How do you know?
Adam said playfully, "Do you know that every the President pardons a lot of people? Listen carefully, a lot of people!"
Then.
Adam reported the data.
There is still no record of a minimum of 200 people being pardoned by the President from a minority group who is most concerned about his image.
According to current records, the number of participants was at least several hundred, and often exceeded a thousand.
Since it's a pardon...
They are all people with problems.
Calling them criminals is no exaggeration.
Aside from a few close friends and relatives, how did you come up with such a long list?
Naturally, there are conflicts of interest involved.
For example.
One day Adam sinned.
Um.
Ordinary crimes are not enough; it must be interstate felonies, which are federal crimes.
At that time.
Adam fled abroad first, to a country where he couldn't be extradited.
Juno and her friends donated millions of dollars to the President.
Future.
When the President steps down, his power will expire if he doesn't use it, Adam will naturally appear on the President's pardon list.
The announcement was made so that Adam was able to fly back in his private jet that very night.
No matter how terrible the sins were, all sins will be wiped away.
Adam can start all over again.
That's how amazing it is.
This is the art of trading that the West most admires!
Emmm.
Rich people who have used it all say it's good.
In Infernal Affairs, Lau Kin-ming wants to be a good person but cannot.
In Adam's view, it was all just pointless complaining.
If he's really that capable, with a little more effort, he could get a Queen's pardon, and what's so difficult about being a good person?
Emmm.
All right.
At that time, it seemed that the Queen was no longer effective.
The criminal Lau Kin-ming wanted to atone for his crimes without going to jail and without losing anything, hoping to immediately clear his name and become a good person. However, under the truly fair and just sunshine, he had no chance.
This exclamation is classic precisely because it resonates with the sentiments of many criminals in this context.
The good old days of Westerners where murderers could get away with it and debtors could not be repaid are over.
"No!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
In the United States, a system of privilege and hierarchy is deeply ingrained.
Just like how a Britain accent makes them feel exceptionally noble.
They did know this, and subconsciously considered it a matter of course.
I didn't take it to heart at all
I never expected there to be so many.
Then, considering the possibility that there might be super criminals like the serial killer Adam mentioned, who could easily regain their innocence with a pardon, their worldview shattered, and they were completely distraught.
I don't want to know.
I was shocked when I thought about it.
This is terrifying!
It's too cruel and unfriendly to the people at the bottom of society.
"Cough cough."
Seeing that he had frightened the innocent and ignorant children, Adam coughed lightly and stopped the conversation. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Now it's Ross and Rachel's wedding. Don't worry, leave it to me. Tomorrow, as soon as it's time to go to work, I'll have the city hall staff come to the hospital to make special arrangements for you."
Everyone nodded blankly.
Adam felt a mixture of regret and helplessness upon seeing this.
This is nothing!
You can't even handle this?
Well.
Ross is one thing.
He is now a university professor, living in the ivory tower of academia.
It is perfectly normal to be 'ignorant and ignorant' of human suffering.
Phoebe, who has always lived at the bottom of society, seems to have had her worldview shattered and can't accept it.
