Little Loach Stirs Up the Mud Pit

The judge responsible for passing around the documents looked utterly bewildered, but he quickly recovered, gathered up the materials, and hurried toward the presiding judge.

When the presiding judge accepted the documents, he was still staring at Fu Junlin in disbelief.

Only after opening one stack did he shift his gaze to the papers.

After a single glance, he took a deep breath, slowly closed them, and said gravely:

"Court adjourned!"

He had even forgotten to deliver the final verdict of not guilty for Fu Junlin, which showed just how unsettled he was.

After speaking, he personally gathered all the documents and slowly walked out.

He left behind a crowd of spectators with exceptionally ugly expressions, as well as the leisurely Fu Junlin.

The Tribunal Hall occupied an exceptionally special position.

There was a reason for that.

Their ultimate goal was simply for the country to remain peaceful and the people to live in safety, for everything to develop in a better direction.

The Zhonghe Institute, though its many core interest groups had committed atrocities such as exploiting people to the bone, conducting human experiments, and suppressing Subspecies, would surely bring about a great calamity someday.

But the Tribunal Hall lacked the power to overthrow them.

Because at least for now, under the Zhonghe Institute's rule, the Federation could barely still be considered a Federation.

But if the War Preparedness Faction and the Zhonghe Faction truly tore off all pretenses and went to war within the Federation—

Then there would be trouble within and enemies without, and the people would be left in misery!

It might even drag the entire Federation straight into hell!

What was more, the Tribunal Hall had no power to directly overthrow the Zhonghe Institute and take charge itself. They feared the same outcome would occur.
