Chapter 976: Court Opening (Part 1)
After a few days.
Public opinion about this lawsuit turmoil is also constantly fermenting.
A large number of reporters and spectators specially went to the Civil Court of the Star Ring City to watch the event one day in advance.
The entire area was completely surrounded before the court session.
It is rare for Star Ring City to send some guards to maintain order, which has never happened in history.
Moreover, in order to avoid being interviewed, the officials of the Civil Tribunal have not gone through the main entrance these days, and they are extremely low-key.
At the same time, the Star Ring City Civil Court suspended other civil dispute cases.
At the top of the Federal Building, Su Mo and Arles were talking while drinking coffee.
"I've inquired about it. There is no surprise that the accuser of the civil lawsuit against you is Kailas, the commander of the planetary fortress of Ghidorah. From the perspective of administrative level, the supreme judge of the civil court is not enough for Commander Kailas. Yes. So it means that tomorrow's lawsuit will be extremely difficult, and we must be prepared to be made difficult."
Su Mo pondered for a while, and said to Arles: "I see."
"But you don't have to worry, I have already prepared the best lawyers in the Federation."
Arles didn't want Su Mo to be under too much pressure. Of course, he didn't tell Su Mo about some things. He originally planned to find some powerful well-known lawyers in the Star Ring City. But when they heard that there was going to be a lawsuit against Commander Kailas, all the lawyers in Star Ring City ran faster than rabbits one by one, and no one was willing to accept the job for a reason.
Therefore, Arles had no choice but to let his country's lawyers take action. On the surface, the legal team in the country is very good, but in fact it is very disadvantageous to file a lawsuit. After all, the law to be fought belongs to the city of Star Ring, and local lawyers must have an advantage.
"Cough cough, the chairman of the Arles council is very grateful to you, just do your best, and I will start preparing for it here, so don't put too much pressure on you."
Su Mo thought for a while, and replied with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Arles was also a little surprised. He looked at Su Mo: "Is there any preparation for you?"
"Actually, Ms. Geyi from the Land of Mist must help me out. It's a bit too kind to refuse."
"This is a good thing. In this situation, there is one more person and more power. Don't talk about these things. I came to you today to tell you first. No matter what the outcome of the trial, you must calm down! There is a federal government behind you." , don’t worry too much, and don’t do anything stressful.”
Arles didn't get too entangled in this issue, but reminded Su Mo cautiously.
"I understand, no matter what the result is, I will accept it frankly."
Of course Su Mo understood what Arles said, and he nodded in response.
next morning.
The civil court located on the third ring road of the Star Ring City was surrounded by water, with three floors inside and three floors outside.
Countless reporters and anchors crowded in frantically.
"Let me go, let me in."
"Why, I want to go in too."
"I'm here to cheer him on."
"Haha, brother, don't pretend, they are all here to catch the heat."
Due to the crazy publicity, this is the first time in history that an individual has filed a lawsuit against Star Ring City, and the matter involved is so big that it has almost attracted the attention of the whole people.
Whoever can shoot a first-hand video can get massive traffic.
But since the Ring City is air-forbidden, basically any flying rig would be out of the question.
So it can only be squeezed by manpower.
At this moment, a group of elite soldiers from the Federation came over to clear the way.
"Please step aside, step aside!"
Soon the crowded crowd was cleared out of a path.
Su Mo came over together with the Chairman of the Arles Council and others.
"The defendant is here!"
A man with sharp eyes shouted.
Immediately, the crowd became even more chaotic, and a reporter frantically handed over the microphone.
The corners of Su Mo's mouth kept twitching. He never thought that one day he would become a celebrity in this way.
Really fulfilled that sentence, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.
At this moment, Arles whispered to Su Mo, "Don't answer any questions, just go in."
"OK."
Su Mo nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Not long after, Su Mo and others ignored the swarming crowd and entered the civil court smoothly.
There was a special guidance official walking up to him, and asked with a stiff expression.
"You are Su Mo, right?"
"Yes"
Su Mo quickly identified himself.
"Please come with me."
The official in front of him led Su Mo and the others to Court No. 1.
Ten minutes later, they entered Trial Chamber No. 1.
This Tribunal is somewhat similar to a university trapezoidal classroom, but it is also different. It is a symmetrical type of two trapezoidal classrooms.
Behind the trial seats and defense seats of both sides, a large number of support groups can be seated.
Since Su Mo and the others came earlier, the opposite side was still empty, and even the trial judge hadn't arrived yet.
"It's still early, sit down for a while."
Su Mo said to Qian Chengxue and others.
Qian Chengxue nodded slightly, and found a place to sit down.
At this time, Sun Duoxiang said nervously: "Boss, how much do you think those people will make you pay?"
"I don't know. There is no specific amount written on the subpoena. It is estimated to be quite a lot."
Su Mo was also a little flustered.
"Boss, if you can't afford it, will you go in again?"
"I said, can you expect me to order well!"
Su Mo wanted to kick Sun Duoxiang.
At this moment, the door of the trial court opened again, and Su Mo and others hurriedly looked over.
As a result, the people who came in were also slightly taken aback, only to see that Hiss of the Gomotto Empire led people in, and stood beside him were high-level personnel from other empires.
Of course, they didn't come up to greet Su Mo, but sat down in a corner, apparently to listen.
"Why do you rely on those imperial dogs to come here? Are you watching the fun?"
Sun Duoxiang couldn't help cursing in a low voice.
"Okay, if people want to come and listen, they can listen, that's their freedom."
Su Mo replied indifferently.
"It's not the boss, that Heath is fine, at least he didn't change much in his expression, look at the bastards next to him, each with a gloating expression, it makes them all angry."
"Okay, don't worry about it."
Su Mo has no intention of wasting it on them now.
In the corner, a young man from the Demun Empire said with a grin.
"That Su Mo is dead this time. Don't look at the death penalty. If you lose this lawsuit, the compensation is enough to kill him."
"That is, let him be so arrogant and rampant!"
"Shut up!"
Hiss suddenly turned his head to look at the other empire people beside him, and warned with a serious expression.
The people of the major empires present were also stunned, and said with some fear.
"His Highness, what's wrong with you? Did we say something wrong? That guy is from the Federation, and he killed Duke Astin."
