Chapter 66: All Of You Shall Die!
Locke, who was already burning with rage, could not sympathize with those b*stards at all.
Although they were under others’ instructions, they were still the ones who harmed his parents. As such, Locke could only feel disgust with their sympathy-garnering tactic.
It was really disgusting!
Moreover, Locke’s rage had not quelled!
They had kidnapped and destroyed someone’s home in broad daylight!
Although Locke was no law student, he knew that this was a capital offense!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
He constantly swung his iron fists, and beat the remaining trio to death!
Once his anger had finally subsided, Locke went to the bushes where his parents were hiding.
He helped them untie themselves.
“Son! Are you alright?!” She had obviously suffered more, but once untied, his mother immediately hugged Locke, and inspected him for injuries.
“Good, son! I knew that you would win!” The bearded man hugged the mother and son.
Locke nodded. With his gaze directed at Wings of the Sky floating in the air, he commended, “You have done well, take a break!”
With their telepathic connection, Lil’ Breeze happily floated around in the air before returning to the dimensional inventory to rest.
After comforting them for nearly half an hour, Tristan who had rushed at full speed, had also arrived at the scene.
“Are you alright…”
After a simple exchange, a group of police officers also rushed to the scene.
“Instructor, can you let my parents rest in the Black Tortoise?”
Naturally, Tristan did not refuse.
After that, Locke identified the bodies, and the police prepared a case.
Upon their return to the academy, Locke had his parents live together with him in his dorm.
Locke said gratefully to Tristan, “Thank you, instructor. Without your help, I don’t know how things would have turned out…”
“You’re welcome. The safety of students is my responsibility. Moreover, I was the one who brought you here. I must be responsible for your safety.” Also, don’t fret too much about taking the brutes’ lives. According to the law, they deserve to die. After you graduate, you also have to shoulder the mission of killing evildoers!”
Tristan’s words had verified the legality of the matter.
The next day, Locke was contacted by Atlanta’s police. They found a handkerchief on the body of one of the thugs, and the White family’s crest was woven into it.
Moreover, their phones had records of them making contact with the White family’s secretary as well as Alice.
After obtaining the evidence, Locke immediately went to look for the former judge, Diana.
“With this evidence and the record of my Battle Beasts, we can definitely hold a court session! Let’s go to the princ.i.p.al and let him know. I’ll apply for a court session tomorrow!”
With that, the two of them went to the princ.i.p.al’s office. This time, the old man was not missing.
“This are the events that transpired…” Diana reported.
Princ.i.p.al Hobrick had a calm expression. With a nod, he responded, “Then I’ll leave you to your own devices. It’ll be a good lesson for Locke…”
However, the old man’s reaction had made Diana lose her confidence instead.
“Princ.i.p.al, do you mean that even with this much evidence, it’s still insufficient to incarcerate them?”
“Maybe, but I agree that you should go…” The strange old man was still evading the point.
Diana shrugged and decided to give it a try.
…
The next day, the Holy City’s District Court accepted Diana’s lawsuit against the White family.
As the defendants, Adrian and Alice were summoned to the court.
“I believe that the judge has also seen all the evidence of my True Records. This is Adrian and Alice White’s long-planned revenge against the student, Locke! They even went as far as to harm his family…”
As a former judge and the current Director of Security of the Federal Academy, Diana was a very professional lawyer.
Every piece of evidence was convincing.
“Your honor, please make a clear ruling on this matter!”
After Diana finished her statement, she returned to her seat.
“With Diana around, these siblings will probably end up in jail…” Jacques, who was listening from a distance, whispered to Tristan.
“Not necessarily. After all, the judge has the final call. Be patient…” Trista had his usual steady expression on his face.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The judge knocked his gavel. He was about to make his judgment!
“Does the White family’s lawyer have anything else to say?”
At this time, the White family’s lawyer stood up and said, “No such thing has occurred! It’s slander!”
“Just making a few phone calls is considered being an accomplice? Them having the White family’s handkerchief makes my clients’ an accomplice? What if someone deliberately framed my two clients?”
“Also! We cannot use the records from the Battle Beast as evidence!”
“Nonsense!! We even mined the contents of the phone call! You still want to deny this?”
The other party’s shameless defense had made Diana slam the table!
“How can this recording be taken seriously? What if you’ve fabricated it with your Battle Beast?” The opposing lawyer had an arrogant look on his face.
“Then tell me! Is there another Battle Beast with such an ability in this world? If there is, then show it to us!”
“Sure! I’ll get someone to look for it tomorrow. Perhaps it will be discovered in ten or twenty years! Until then, this case will be shelved! You do not have enough evidence to convict my clients right now!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The gavel rang again, and the judge said, “I’m in favor with the White Family’s lawyer! We have no way to determine the authenticity of the White family’s phone calls!”
“Also! Since the four thugs wore black robes and black masks, we have no way to identify them. So, how can we be certain that they are members of the White family? What if they’re being framed? We must first verify their ident.i.ty!”
While giving Adrian a knowing glance, the judge then stood up and announced, “The two defendants will be released from court! Until we locate another Battle Beast with the same ability, or until we confirm the connection of the thugs with the White family, we will postpone this case!”
‘Postpone?’
The judge was at least seventy years old! By the time another Battle Beast with the same ability as Diana’s appears, the old man would already ben three inches deep in his grave!
The absurd verdict had attracted boos from the audience!
Some even claimed that the court was owned by the White family!
“Hahaha! Kid! You should have done your homework before hand! This judge is one of our people!”
Adrian burst into laughter.
Alice looked at Locke and Diana with even more contempt.
“Judge! You…” The unconvincing trial had trampled on Diana’s respect for the law. She was about to press on when suddenly…
She was held back by a strong grip!
