Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

Chapter 217: The opening arguments of the plaintiff and defendant were brilliant and vastly differen

Regardless of what they thought, the court hearing was not affected in the slightest. Mo Li took a moment to secretly glance at the comments, and to her surprise, the audience in the live stream was generally quite well-mannered.

After the prosecution's opinion is presented, it is time for the defendant to make his own defense, and for his defense counsel and lawyers to present their arguments.

"Boom..."

As the judge's gavel fell once more, his authoritative and unyielding voice rang out again:

"The defense begins its defense."

Those standing in the dock, except for the mute Beigong Xue'er and Di Dai, felt immense pressure. Unbeknownst to them, their backs, hidden beneath their clothing, were already covered in a dense layer of cold sweat.

How are they supposed to defend themselves? In every previous trial, they were all eloquent and persuasive, their defenses always well-reasoned and fluent.

In the present moment, faced with such a scene, I am inexplicably speechless, as if I have become a gourd with its mouth sawed off.

Regardless of their inner thoughts or how disobedient their words were, they exchanged glances and still maintained their professional ethics. After all, they had already received the money, so they still had to grit their teeth and defend themselves no matter what.

However, for some reason, the more I listened to their defense, the more incomprehensible it became.

Everyone who heard their defense had five words pop into their head: stubborn as a mule.

While these words might seem inappropriate for professional defense lawyers and seasoned elite lawyers, it's hard to find any other suitable adjectives for them right now.

Even the people in the live stream were stunned!

"No, can someone tell me what they're talking about? It's so ridiculous it's unbearable to laugh at!"

"This is professional, right? No way, really? This is it? Hahaha..."

"It's no exaggeration to say that even the old lady from our village entrance would be better at talking than them..."

"This can't be happening, this can't be happening, is the person in the defendant's seat here to be funny?"

"Knowing you'd lose, this last-ditch effort is a bit too much..."

"Stop talking, stop talking, please, I'm really confused."

"Am I uncultured, or have you transcended species? Why do you speak an interstellar language? I'm completely confused by all the words combined together."

"Is there anyone else like me who, looking at the defense attorneys and lawyers in the dock, feels rather pitiful for their steadfast and 'unyielding' demeanor?"

"No, I just think it's hilarious, hahaha!"

"..."

Even Mo Li couldn't help but chuckle, and couldn't help but complain to Ye Zixuan and Dongfang Yu:

"You know what, you know what, the opposing defense attorney and lawyer are quite comical."

The plaintiff's defense attorney remained remarkably calm and succinctly stated: "Evidence speaks louder than words."

Ye Zixuan raised an eyebrow, laughed heartily, and gestured to the defense attorney and lawyer in the dock to continue: "Your defense is very good, please continue, hahaha, don't stop, we love to hear it."

His words resonated with others, leaving the presiding judge with no choice but to pick up the gavel.

"Boom."

The judge's gavel fell, and a stern voice rang out: "Silence."

"The defense attorney shall continue."

Bei Gong Xue'er and Di Dai had not lost their five senses. Although they couldn't move, their eyes could still move. They were so anxious to see their defense attorney and lawyer looking like two mute people. They had cursed them countless times in their hearts, but in the end, it turned into helpless urging.

"Damn it, damn it, you all deserve to die! You people who take money and do nothing, what happened to your professionalism? Listen to yourselves, do you even know what you're saying?"

Anyone who didn't know better would think you were here to be funny! Hurry, hurry, speak up! What are you doing? Have you forgotten why you're here?

"Why, why are you doing this to me? I want to speak, I want to defend myself! Ah, ah, ah, I'm going crazy!"

No matter how anxious the two women were, their inner cries went unheard by their defenders and lawyers. Instead, they heard the so-called explanations uttered by the two women on their side, which only fueled their anger.

Mo Li, who was secretly observing the two, almost burst out laughing. It was too funny. The two "cold" beauties had blank expressions, but their faces darkened inch by inch as their defense attorney and lawyer, who didn't even know what they were saying, spoke.

On the other hand, both her defense attorney and lawyer were always in top form, and even in such a solemn and inviolable courtroom with so many important figures present, they both exuded a sense of ease.

Isn't that infuriating? What's more, they can accurately find loopholes in the other two's grief-stricken and incoherent words to make their own defense.

In the end, the two men looked like they wanted to die. If there were a crack in the floor in the courtroom, they would have crawled into it. Didn't you see the fine beads of sweat coming out of their foreheads?

Only they themselves know how ashamed they are. This will be the biggest blunder of their careers. If it weren't for the fact that the agency fee offered by the Beigong family and the royal family was too high, they would never have been willing to attend.

Who is the plaintiff? Mo Li. Who in the entire interstellar space doesn't know of her existence? Even if they didn't have enough evidence, the interstellar alliance would find a way to make up for it and give her the highest level of preferential treatment.

She is now the hope for the survival of humanity across the entire interstellar space; she enjoys priority in everything, and everyone must make way for her.

Who was so foolish as to dig their own grave? Believe it or not, there really were some, and they were unfortunately dragged onto this pirate ship.

wanna die?

I really want to die!

These are their most genuine thoughts.

Under the weight of countless gazes, the defense attorneys and lawyers in the dock could no longer spout nonsense. They had given up entirely; all their professional ethics and expertise vanished, their words tumbling out incoherently, their brains seemingly detached from reality. They themselves didn't even know what they were saying.

Fortunately, they gave up completely. Die, really die! This bullshit defense is utterly useless now. In the end, they simply said:

"Your Honor, we have finished our defense."

The presiding judge looked directly at Mo Li and his companions in the plaintiff's seat. His expression instantly softened, and then his authoritative voice resounded throughout the space:

"Does the plaintiff have anything else to add or defend?"

Mo Li and his team were already certain of victory; arguing was a waste of breath and time, so they honestly shook their heads at the presiding judge and replied:

"We have nothing to defend ourselves."

Bei Gong Xue'er and Di Dai were in a truly desperate situation at this moment. Their emotions were on the verge of collapse. Long before their defense attorney and lawyer finished their nonsense and made a single statement.

They really wanted to lash out and kill those two bastards. How could they just disappear? They paid you to help them get away with their crimes, not to help them get away with their crimes and instead become the laughing stock of the whole place.

Unwittingly, it became an asset to the other party?

What a terrible teammate!

These two are really going to ruin my life!

specialized?

"Professional my foot! They think they were sent by Mo Li and his side."

At this moment, Bei Gong Xue'er hated not only the Bei Gong family and the royal family who had not only abandoned them but also pushed them out, but also the vile woman Mo Li whom they hated to the core.
