Chapter 321
As the saying goes, the best thing is to attack the heart.
Although he could directly point the finger at Downey from the beginning, this would not hurt Downey. Instead, it would alert the enemy and leave a person in the academy who is hostile to the Orson Little brothers. Hidden danger.
If you want to eradicate the root cause, you need to lure Downey step by step deeper. When the information you have can directly make Downey never stand up again, and there will never be a way to assassinate Li Te, Orson's goal will be achieved.
"Master Orson, do you want me to betray my father, my father's master's son?" Tyrell smiled. "Do you know what kind of disaster I will suffer if I do this?"
"I know." Orson nodded. "But you won't do it if you don't?"
Tyrell was silent.
Obviously, no matter how difficult the task assigned to him by Downey was, he would be dissatisfied as long as he did not complete it. When the dissatisfaction accumulated and exploded, it would be extremely terrifying.
No one likes a lunatic, especially when that lunatic is your leader.
"As far as I know, your father is not that kind to you?" As Orson said these words, Tyrell trembled in his heart.
"I have used you as a tool since childhood, as a tool to curry favor with Giovanni through Donny."
"I'm afraid the most important thing he said to you was not to tell you to take care of yourself, but to tell you to listen to Master Downey more, right?"
"..." Tyrell was silent.
"Back in a home like that, what would your father think of you if he found out that you had upset Donnie?"
"Do you think he will tie you up to find Jiao Wa?
Duke Ni apologizes? "
"Stop talking!" Tyrell said loudly, and then he gasped and became a little emotional.
"Do you think that just by saying this, you can make me betray them and help you?!"
"No." Orson shook his head. "I'm just stating a fact, and maybe that fact is a little too hurtful."
"However, I think there is no point in staying in such a home, right? Why don't you live in another way?" Orson said, snapping his fingers, and a contract appeared in front of Tyrell. .
"This is a property in Bondrest in Free City." Orson stared into Tyrell's eyes, showing a trace of sincere emotion. "No matter what prejudices we had before, at least now, don't you want to take revenge on those who looked down on you?"
"As long as you promise me, after this incident is over, I will send someone to escort you to the Free City State. Once there, the Florence family will not be able to reach out."
"You can live freely there, live the life you want, get rid of your father's manipulation, and get rid of the oppression of the lord."
"Don't you want to go and see a day like that?"
Orson's words seemed to have magic power, making Tyrell fall into a beautiful fantasy about the future.
"Let's not mention the sufferings of the past for now. At least now, you have another chance to change your destiny, right?"
…
With that in mind, the time came at night.
The trial of Downey's bribery and abetting frame-up began.
The dean of the college, Luca, did not attend this hearing, but Olivia, the vice president of the student union, presided over it.
By the time Downey and several bribed members of the student union came to the stage, there was already a wave of abuse and criticism in the audience.
It is hard to imagine that these people were helping Donnie scold Orson and Leeteuk two days ago, but now they turned their guns and started pointing them at themselves.
"Then, this hearing begins." As several witnesses came on stage, Olivia announced the hearing.
Compared with yesterday's hearing, this hearing was much more complicated. First of all, there were several suspects. Although the biggest suspect was only Downey, other student union members who accepted bribes must also be punished.
In addition, Donny and Manuel, two sons of the Duke, also appeared in the suspect and witness seats respectively.
Manuel's testimony was, of course, what Downey said when he invited him to dinner that day.
As the hearing progressed, the revelations in the testimony allowed the students below to see Downey's true face.
Many of Downey's original younger brothers also chose to remain silent at this moment.
Although their mission was to assist Downey, in this situation, it was obviously wiser not to speak.
However, Downey had already planned to be suspected of bribery from the beginning, and had already arranged his informants in the student union to prepare a confession in advance. With the unanimous confession, the hearing was unable to make progress for a while.
But the most important witness, Tyrell, has been unable to arrive.
Donnie looked down and found Orson sitting in the front row, looking back anxiously.
When Danny heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
Unexpectedly, Orson, Tyrell can't enter the school now, he has been expelled from the school.
The witness you relied on most is now gone.
In this way, as long as he killed himself to provide academic support for some classmates in the student union, and coupled with his identity as the son of a duke, the final result of the hearing will definitely be nothing.
Who knows, Orson suddenly met Donnie's eyes.
Orson looked at the provocation in Donnie's eyes and sneered.
This is what he was waiting for.
Give the other person hope when they are desperate, and then crush the hope when the other person thinks they have hope.
This is the most profound and effective impact on people.
Seeing that the time was right, Orson stood up directly and walked to the stage.
Then, he handed over a recording magic stone and several pieces of parchment, and handed them to Olivia's hands.
Olivia deliberately showed a surprised expression, and then looked towards the audience.
"I'm sorry, everyone, just now, President Orson provided extremely important information, which is a video magic stone and several account pages recording classmate Downey's transactions..."
Then, Olivia picked up the magic stone and poured magic power into it. Then, the image appeared in front of everyone present.
"Ahem, can you hear me?
"The person who appeared in the picture was clearly Tyrell.
Based on the brightness of the light in the picture, it seems to have been recorded in the afternoon.
"This image was recorded this afternoon." Orson added at the right time.
Donnie looked at Tyrell in the light screen with a very ugly expression.
He didn't expect that Tyrell would actually dare to go against him.
Did Orson drug him or something? Isn't he afraid that he will do something to his family?
Doesn't he have anyone in the family that he cares about?
"Well, hello, fellow students, I am Tyrell, the same Tyrell who was just expelled from Imperial College..."
In the light curtain, Tyrell first introduced himself, and then went straight to the topic.
"Regarding what happened yesterday, I actually regret it because I didn't say something very important." Tyrell said this with a look of shame on his face.
"I deceived everyone. In fact, the reason why I did the things I did before was all because of Downey's instructions."
"As we all know, Downey is the son of the Duke of Naples, and my father is just a little count under the Duke of Naples. Therefore, for the sake of the interests of the family, I can only listen to Downey's words..."
"Growing up, I have always followed Donnie's orders. Because of this, Donnie felt that I was easy to bully, so he gave me all kinds of dirty work and all kinds of scapegoats."
"And just yesterday, I still retained my ridiculous loyalty to Mr. Downey, and wanted to go to him to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, he locked me up and beat me up, and this morning he was planning to send someone to arrest me."
"If Mr. Osun hadn't helped me, I might have been kidnapped back now."
"Now, I've had enough, I want to expose Downey." Tyrell said, raising his hands.
Then, he revealed all the details of his humiliation of Li Teuk at the beginning and his plot to assassinate Li Teuk in front of his classmates.
Listening to what Tyrell said, Downey clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly with anger.
Then, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, punched the table with his fist, stood up and pointed at Orson.
"Orson, what method did you use!?"
"Classmate Downey, please exercise restraint!" Olivia frowned as she watched Downey's movements.
"Restraint?!" Downey said, looking at the students in the audience.
"Everyone, have you forgotten?! What is Orson's identity? He is the student council president!"
"Don't you think this video is fake?" Downey said, spreading his hands towards the students in the audience, pretending to be innocent.
"Classmates! This is a struggle. Orson wants to drive me out of Imperial College, so he did so much..."
"That's enough! Everyone, be quiet!" At this moment, Luca's stern reprimand sounded outside the auditorium.
Then, Luka led a group of soldiers into the auditorium.
The classmates were all stunned.
In principle, the Imperial Academy does not allow outsiders to enter. Where did these soldiers come from?
After the soldiers were in position, a blue-haired middle-aged man wearing platinum-colored clothes walked in outside the door.
Blue hair as clear as water, blue eyes like emeralds, plus a calm and authoritative temperament.
The moment they saw the person coming, all the students present stood up consciously.
Imperial Emperor, Odysseus Lancaster.
Imperial College generally does not receive foreign guests, except for royal visits.
Then, behind Odysseus, six middle-aged men followed.
They are the six great dukes of the empire.
Orson, Lit, Olivia, Lianka, Manuel and Donnie, their fathers are among them.
As for the Duke of Orleans and the Duke of Lucia, their children have graduated from the Imperial College.
"See your majesty." Orson said, walked to Odysseus and bowed respectfully to him.
"Yeah." Odysseus nodded, and then sat in the VIP seat in the front row.
Luca and the Dukes also sat on either side of Odysseus.
Now Donnie knew why the VIP seats were empty at the beginning.
"You can continue with the hearing. We won't interrupt, we are just listening." Odysseus said this and motioned for Olivia to continue.
"Okay." Olivia nodded.
"Why is this hearing being held?" The audience
, Odysseus looked at Luca sitting next to him and asked.
"That's right, Your Majesty, according to reports from classmates, classmate Downey is suspected of bribing members of the student union, and is also suspected of accusing, threatening, and assassinating others."
"Oh?" Odysseus raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then looked at Giovanni next to him.
"Duke Giovanni, you really raised a good son."
"..." Giovanni was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I believe my son will not do such a thing. All this should be a false accusation by someone with ulterior motives, who wants to damage the reputation of the Florence family."
"I hope so." Odysseus did not say much, but continued to watch the hearing on the stage.
After the emperor arrived, Donnie was obviously much more restrained and rational.
"I would like to ask everyone here about the video evidence of the magic stone you provided." Donnie said this, looking at the people in the audience. "If Tyrell said this involuntarily under coercion or under the influence of magic by others, can this sentence still be used as a confession?"
After this sentence was said, the students in the audience immediately began to whisper.
"Donnie, don't worry about this." Orson said this, stood up, and pointed to the door of the auditorium.
Donnie looked in the direction, and then his eyes widened.
At the door of the auditorium, Tyrell was standing there, scanning the people in the auditorium.
After a long while, as if he had made great mental preparations, Tyrell lowered his head, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then walked towards the last empty witness seat on the stage of the auditorium.
