At the presiding chair, Claude raised his hand.
The heavy gates around the hearing hall crashed down, and all exits were sealed.
Thousands of spectators sat in the ring.
The nobles, Military Department executives, and chaebol representatives all stared at the trolley in the center of the venue.
Claude Open the file in front of you.
"Herman, you brought unknown persons into the hearing hall without authorization and destroyed the Military Department facilities."
"This is your first crime of the day."
Herman walked quickly to the dock.
"Claude, stop labeling me!"
"Lin Feng is an empire-level genius I discovered from a remote planet, and has been included in Seventh Fleet's highest recommendation list!"
"He deserves to be in the hearing room!"
Claude Press the console.
Herman The loudspeaker equipment in front of him immediately went out, and even the personal communication terminal was forcibly cut off.
Nothing he said could reach the dock.
Claude then raised his head.
"Before the hearing begins, the defendant has no right to speak at will."
Herman patted the table several times.
Useless.
There were already discussions all around.
"That young man is Lin Feng?"
"I heard that he led his men to plunder three chaebol fleets."
"You even dare to bump into Imperial Capital First Starport. Do you really think that no one here cares about him?"
Claude raised his hand to suppress the movement in the venue.
"Now, release the first set of evidence."
The main screen lights up.
In the picture, the mothership of Herman is parked in the sky above Graycrystal Star.
Lin Feng tore apart a chaebol frigate with his bare hands and then rushed into the fleet.
Balen brought dismantling equipment and searched for ordnance in each warship.
In the entire video, there is no order from Raine to blockade Graycrystal Star, and there is no record of the main gun salvoes of the three thousand battleships.
The scene quickly freezes at the moment when Lin Feng pulls out the Raine power furnace.
Claude called up several electronic files.
"According to the records provided by Graycrystal Star Governor's Mansion, Bloodthorn Consortium third, fourth, and Fifth Fleet were performing normal garrison duties at the time."
"Herman led Lin Feng to launch an attack on his own initiative, resulting in the destruction of 2,764 battleships and the loss of strategic materials exceeding 400 billion star coins."
"This is a list of fleet losses."
Another interstellar voyage record was released.
It shows that before arriving at Graycrystal Star, the mothership of Herman had encrypted communications with multiple interstellar pirate fleets.
Claude's finger fell on Lin Feng's photo.
"After verification by the Imperial Intelligence Department, Lin Feng does not have the household registration of the Silverfrost Empire, nor does he have a legal interstellar identity."
"This person comes from an unregistered planet and has been engaged in activities such as attacking warships and robbing military supplies for a long time."
"Meets the standards for interstellar pirate recognition."
Herman was so angry that he smashed the table with his fist.
"Fart!"
His voice still couldn't be heard.
The communication records on the screen are all fake.
But no one at the scene gave him a chance to explain.
Claude looked towards the auditorium.
"Bloodthorn Consortium represents, you can state the loss."
A middle-aged man wearing a dark red robe stood up.
His name is Moss, and he is the top person in charge of Bloodthorn Consortium's office in Imperial Capital.
Moss first saluted the chairperson and then took out a blood-stained badge.
"This military medal belongs to Commander Raine."
"Raine has guarded Graycrystal Star for the Empire for three hundred and thirty-seven years, pacified the planet Beast Tide sixteen times, and assisted the Empire in suppressing three border rebellions."
"But just yesterday, he suffered the most brutal attack."
Moss pressed the military medal on his chest and his voice began to tremble.
"In front of three thousand battleships, Lin Feng cut open Commander Raine's chest and pulled out his main power furnace."
"Raine has lost the ability to fight. He also poached the spare power furnace and forced Raine to sign a property transfer contract."
"That contract was signed under the threat of death!"
Someone in the auditorium immediately stood up.
"This contract must be voided!"
"If interstellar pirates attack the empire's legitimate conglomerates, what else is there to judge?"
"Execute immediately!"
"Hang him outside Imperial Capital Star Ring and let all the border natives see what happens!"
There are more and more echoes.
Lin Feng stood next to the trolley and scanned it around.
These people shouted very hard.
Several of them wore Bloodthorn Consortium cooperation badges on their chests, and some had Fernand Family logos on their desks.
Herman was still banging the table behind the dock.
He simply pulled out the inspector's emblem and forcibly turned on the emergency loudspeaker module inside the emblem.
"Article 72 of the Imperial Military Code!"
"The private fleet takes the initiative to attack the patrol mothership, and the patrol envoy has the right to counterattack!"
As soon as the voice came out half a sentence, Claude pressed the second button.
A sealing barrier rose from around the dock.
Herman's emblem has also disappeared.
"Disturbing the order of the hearing is an additional crime."
Claude Close the file.
"Physical evidence, images, and voyage records have formed a complete chain of evidence."
"Herman colluded with interstellar pirates to attack the empire's legal garrison and rob the chaebol's property."
"Lin Feng, as the main executor, has a clear crime."
Lin Feng finally spoke.
"Finished?"
Claude leaned on the chairperson's seat.
"What else do you have to prove yourself?"
"Self-certification?"
Lin Feng patted the cart.
"I'm not here to prove my innocence."
There was another round of ridicule in the venue.
Moss raised his hand and pointed at Lin Feng.
"Your Excellency, he has already acquiesced to the facts of the crime!"
"There is no need for thugs like this to stay!"
Claude looked at Lin Feng.
"Kneel down now and plead guilty."
"Take the initiative to explain all the plans between you and Herman, and then return all the property of Bloodthorn Consortium."
"Council Hall may allow you to keep the body intact."
Lin Feng chuckled lightly.
"You held a hearing, but originally there was no need for a hearing."
Claude knocked on the table.
"The Empire gave you a chance to explain."
"It's because you can't provide evidence."
"Who said I have no evidence?"
Lin Feng Grab the top white cloth.
The gold source energy wire was pulled and disconnected inch by inch.
Wow!
The whole white cloth was blown away.
Ten corpses rolled off the trolley and hit the center of the hearing hall one after another.
Balen put the stealth armor back on last night.
The ten sets of dark red armors were all engraved with Bloodthorn Totem. The leader's head had been crushed, and the necks and chests of the others also suffered fatal injuries.
An unused box of nerve agent slipped down.
The metal box was knocked open, and twelve pieces of gray-green poison rolled on the ground.
The discussion in the venue stopped on the spot.
Several Military Department executives in the front row stood up at the same time.
"Bloodthorn Direct Assassination Squad?"
"This set of stealth armor is only distributed to the Headquarters execution team!"
"In the box is a level 7 nerve agent!"
Moss The blood on his face quickly faded.
"False!"
"These armors have long flowed into the underground market. There is no proof that they belong to Bloodthorn Consortium!"
Lin Feng took out the optical brain from the leader's armor.
"What's the rush?"
He raised his hand and threw it.
The optical brain landed on the reading table in the center of the hearing room.
Balen All encryption modules were removed last night, and the main screen turned on by itself.
A copy of Killing Order bearing the highest authority mark of Bloodthorn Consortium appeared on the live broadcast across the empire.
[Target: Lin Feng.]
[Execution location: Starcourt penthouse suite.]
[Time of action: Eve of hearing.]
[The use of level seven nerve agents is allowed.]
[The target corpse must be brought back.]
[All insiders cleared.]
There is also a complete hit list below.
Lin Feng ranks first.
Herman ranks second.
Several military witnesses who are preparing to participate in the hearing are also on the list.
Herman saw the contents clearly through the barrier, raised his foot and kicked open the dock table.
"Claude!"
"Is this the legal chaebol you are talking about?"
"Ten Cosmic Realm killers poisoned Imperial Capital, are you going to fucking interrogate me?"
The barrages on the live broadcast channel were completely out of control.
The nobles in the hearing hall all lowered their heads to check the terminals. The people who just shouted for Lin Feng to be executed all shut up.
A Military Department investigator walked to the body and opened the armor's wrist.
Underneath the skin of the corpse, the red vine thorn brand was clearly visible.
"The identity stamp is real."
"They belong to the assassination team directly under Bloodthorn Consortium Headquarters."
Another person picked up the poison and tested it.
The terminal prompts shortly.
[Level 7 nerve agent, batch number XB-773]
[Production unit: Bloodthorn Biological Laboratory]
Moss took half a step back and knocked over the auditorium seat.
Lin Feng walked to his seat.
"You were crying a lot just now."
"Do you want to continue crying?"
Moss opened his mouth several times, then suddenly raised his hand and patted the emergency caller beside the table.
"Fake!"
"The corpse, Killing Order, and the poison were all forged by Lin Feng!"
"He brought the corpse into the Imperial Hearing Hall and prepared to attack the presiding judge!"
Moss pulled open his collar and shouted to the off-site communication channel.
"Bloodthorn Guards!"
"Enter everyone and win Lin Feng immediately!"
