181 Chapter 181: Verdict

Hearing that, the judge began to discuss in whispers with the people on both sides.

"Zeke! Where did you get those videos from? They can't exist at all. Even the police said they didn't exist. So you must have deliberately blackmailed someone into getting these videos, right?!"

Abra was still struggling desperately at this level, staring at Zeke and shouting loudly.

Zeke glanced at him indifferently, with contempt and disdain in his eyes, and he was not even interested in talking to such rubbish.

This bunch of evidence is, of course, difficult for the police to obtain. Almost all the videos were deleted and destroyed before the police discovered them.

But for Zeke, who has the super A.I. Jarvis, this kind of thing is simply a piece of cake.

He asked Jarvis to do a lot of searching, quickly find traces of those deleted videos, and restore them straight away.

Abra would never have thought of this, no matter how influential he is.

"Your Majesty the King!"

At this time, there was a sudden call from the door full of onlookers, and then everyone split a road into both sides. Amidst their nods and shouts, a group of bodyguards opened the way, forming a human wall blocking both sides. Grace and Elena's figure came hurriedly.

"How come even the king is disturbed by this?"

"Look! Isn't that Princess Elena?"

"It's really Princess Elena!"

"Oh no! We let Princess Elena see such an ugly side of the kingdom. What will others think of us in the future?"

"Damn Abra! This scum has disgraced the kingdom's image!"

...

The crowd gritted their teeth.

The king and Princess Elena paid attention to this incident, which shows how much trouble Abra has made.

It would be fine if the king saw it, but Princess Elena, who visited the kingdom on behalf of her country, also saw it. It was like a family scandal presented to outsiders, making many Phoenix citizens uncomfortable and resented Abra.

"It seems that the negotiation of sentencing has already begun."

Grace and Elena sat in the forefront of the audience. The bodyguards quickly expelled the people next to them.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Zeke is more stable and mature than you said."

Elena smiled.

"This Zeke, how did he get that evidence?"

Grace looked at Zeke's tall and straight back two meters away, with doubts in her eyes.

On the way here, she has seen the whole process of Zeke releasing the evidence. The surveillance videos are unmistakable, each pointing directly to Abra's crimes. Each video is irrefutable evidence that he committed a crime.

However, more than ten minutes ago, Zeke was still chatting with them in the sky garden, and he didn't even know about the case. How did he get so much evidence all at once?

This made Grace puzzled.

"What else to discuss?! The evidence is all here! Can't we just declare the death penalty?"

"It must be the death penalty! Murder, rape, intentional injury. For his crimes, punish him! Never let go of this shit!"

"Humph! I don't think this judge dares to say that Abra is innocent. We can accept it, but Elder Zeke may disagree."

"Come on, announce it. I can't wait!"

"..."

Television ratings are clearly on the rise.

Zeke's celebrity effect, coupled with the vileness of this incident, many people came to hear the news just to see Abra's sentence and express their resentment in their hearts.

At this time, after nearly ten minutes of deliberation, the judges all returned to their seats.

"Quiet!"

As soon as the hammer struck, everyone became quiet, and the courtroom was hushed. The camera quickly focused on the judge, and countless pairs of eyes stared at him, holding their breaths for the trial's outcome.

"After deliberation, this court has made a final ruling on the defendant Abra Lucente's case. The following is the judgment of this court..."

The judge began to count all the charges against Abra. These charges have been in his hands for a long time, but there has been no hard evidence, so he can't be convicted.

"...Unanimously agree, sentence the defendant Abra to death. Execute immediately!"

As the hammer fell, the crowd began to cheer loudly, and even the reporters could not help but wave their fists and applaud.

"Hahaha... death penalty! Immediate execution! Great! Great!"

"Sure enough, Elder Zeke is still mighty! It's different once he comes out."

"Abra is finished. Long live Elder Zeke!"

...

The people watching the live broadcast were all cheering and laughing with joy.

Abra's heart was in ashes. He slumped on the ground, his face full of despair and fear.

A reprieve from death is a good thing to say. As long as he performs well, he can still live after sitting out for more than ten years at most. But if he's executed immediately, there is no room for relaxation, and he will definitely die.

Mr. Franco, who was with the crowd outside the courtroom, was also stunned, sighing and shaking his head.

"Hu~~."

"Things are settled satisfactorily."

Grace breathed a sigh of relief.

There wasn't much of an issue, and everything went in a good direction in the end.

Elena, on the side, didn't speak, but from the more satisfied look in her eyes when she looked at Zeke, it could be seen that she now had a stronger impression of him.

However, just when everyone was pleased about this, suddenly——

"And many more."

The loud cheers suddenly calmed down as soon as these words came out.

Many eyes converged and found that it was none other than Zeke who spoke.

Everyone was puzzled.

Didn't they all have sentenced Abra to death?

What does Elder Zeke mean?

"This trial is due to me."

"But my intention is not for him to die."

"Execution does not fundamentally solve the problem."

Zeke looked at Abra with a cold face, and the corner of his mouth lifted, "So, I want to pronounce another sentence on Abra."

Ha?

Everyone was stunned.

What is this situation?

The evil things that Abra did, not to mention the death penalty, is not an exaggeration to execute him long ago.

What is Elder Zeke going to do?

Abra looked up at Zeke in amazement at this time, not knowing what he was going to do.

Zeke grinned, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"I announce that the defendant Abra will be sentenced to 30 days in prison."

"What?!"

All of a sudden, everyone exploded.
