Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 111 [Cheers]

Even the completely amateur people in the audience thought what Bob said was a bit too amateurish.

It even has a bit of a throwing tantrum feel.

That doesn't sound like something a lawyer would say at all.

Those in the crowd who had originally held out some hope for Bob also shook their heads.

This person must have been crushed by the pressure and started talking incoherently.

But it's no wonder, the opponent is Winster's best legal team, and any one of them is more famous than him, even his former boss.

In addition, the evidence is solid and there is absolutely no possibility of loopholes.

Most people really have no choice.

"Bob, if you're too scared, just leave now and don't embarrass yourself here."

On the prosecutor's team, Murphy couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Excellency, I believe there is nothing unreasonable in my request. I hope you will approve it."

But Bob ignored him and continued to make demands on Ned.

"agree."

Ned nodded, then banged the hammer hard, signaling the prosecution team to go ahead.

In the gallery, people started whispering again.

The main thing is that everyone doesn't understand what the purpose of Bob's action is.

Even if we really bring those illegal liquors here for everyone to taste, what would happen?

Can everyone, out of gratitude for finally getting a drink of the wine, say that it wasn't wine and help Ethan exonerate him?
That's impossible.

"Driver...Miss, is everything really okay?" Sophia was also very uneasy, so she couldn't help but grab Anya's arm and asked in a low voice.

"My name is Anya, not Miss Driver." Although Anya said it very impolitely, she did not shake off Sophia's arm. She just looked quietly at Ethan standing in the dock.

Ethan seemed calm and composed.

"Trust the young master, he is never wrong."

"Yeah...yeah." Sophia also looked at Ethan and nodded heavily.

Ethan, I have done what you asked me to do for you. You must win!

The illegal liquor on the ship was originally in the Prohibition Bureau's warehouse, and it would inevitably take some time to call it up.

So it took a while before they were brought to the scene.

But what can be guaranteed is that the wine was definitely not swapped because it was escorted by Marvin himself.

After bringing the wine to the courtroom, Marvin emphasized, "This is part of the illegal liquor on those four ships. I can guarantee that it was seized from those four ships. The entire process was coordinated by the judges of the courtroom. There is absolutely no fraud. I swear in the name of the kingdom!"

Marvin was extremely solemn, and seemed to be cutting off Ethan's last hope.

Although, this request itself is absurd.

After Marvin, the judge of the court who went with him to get the wine also took the oath on the spot.

In this way, there will be absolutely no problem with this batch of wine.

"The wine has arrived. Why, Bob, do you really want everyone to taste it? Or do you think that by doing so, everyone will be breaking the law?"

Murphy's hatred for Ethan and Bob is indeed high enough, so he really won't miss any opportunity to step on them.

"But unfortunately, I have to tell you, this kind of behavior is not considered illegal. This is a new regulation. If you haven't read it yet, I advise you to close your law firm and go back to school for two years before making any decisions."

Bob still ignored him and looked at Ned again: "Your Honor, I request that everyone come together to testify and see if this is bootleg liquor."

Still such crazy talk.

But some people in the gallery couldn't help licking their lips.

Speaking of which, during the Prohibition era, some people could still drink alcohol, but the majority couldn't.

It would be nice if I could take this opportunity to try it.

"Your Honor, I object. This is an unreasonable request. The evidence is conclusive and the defendant is being unreasonable. I request that this farce end. If the defendant cannot provide more strong evidence, Ethan Poletta should be found guilty!" Richard Anderson stood up and said loudly.

"Or maybe you are guilty and you dare not show evidence!" Bob roared suddenly. He was like a dormant volcano that had been quiet for a whole time and finally erupted at this moment.

His eyes were wide open with anger, and his aura was not inferior to that of an entire elite team.

"Show me the evidence," Ned said slowly.

So, all the bootleg liquor barrels were opened.

For a moment the aroma of wine filled the air.

In fact, from the moment they smelled the aroma of the wine, everyone felt there was no need to continue.

The smell is so strong, how could it not be wine?
But now that things have come to this, what's wrong with having a little drink?

The courtroom staff who helped open the wine barrels couldn't help swallowing.

The wine in the barrel began to be shared cup by cup with everyone present, even the prosecutor's team was given a cup each.

No one in the gallery missed it either.

However, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not drink directly. They were all waiting for an opportunity to toast together.

It also seemed like some kind of signal, a signal that would send Ethan completely to hell.

"Then, come on."

Even Ned got a glass. He was the presiding judge and also the host of this strange cocktail party.

He raised his glass.

Everyone raises their glasses together.

Everyone had a different expression.

The litigation team was filled with pride, and Murphy even raised his glass to Ethan and the others, as if to say, "Bon voyage."

In the gallery, George, holding his glass, shared the same sentiment.

Ethan, in the end, I laughed longer.

Sophia was at a loss. She held up the cup, glanced at Ethan, then at Anya, as if to say, do we really want to drink?

Sandro held up the cup, which seemed more like a farewell.

And, Abeling.

Aiberlin held up his glass and thought of New Year's Eve.

So you ended up in hell, Ethan.

cheers.

Everyone drank the wine in the glass together.

Wine?

Is this really wine?

After everyone drank the liquid, many people made sounds of surprise and doubt.

Some people looked at the color of the liquid in the cup in disbelief. It was indeed dark red, but why was there no taste at all?

It tastes totally like water.

This reaction isn't unique to one person.

So, everyone looked at each other.

Finally, someone said the first sentence: "This...this doesn't seem to be wine?"

As soon as these words were spoken, someone quickly took two more sips.

But it really has no taste. Either there is something wrong with my taste buds, or there is no taste.

This... doesn't really seem to be wine.

"How is this possible?!" Murphy was the most unacceptable.

He even impulsively rushed towards the barrels.

Ma Wen's face was also extremely grim. How could this happen...

Only then did Ethan raise the glass of wine that was also given to him, gesture to everyone, and then drink it.

It has a very mellow flavor.
