America, starting as a trainee police officer

"Is this what it feels like to have power?"

Feeling the surging, abundant power within his body, Li Wei felt an urge to unleash the Crescent Moon Heavenly Clash.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Put the used syringe into the storage space. This thing needs to be properly disposed of before it can be thrown away, otherwise it might be picked up by a homeless person and end up in the hands of those medical companies.

Li Wei had no intention of ushering in a new era of extraordinary achievements for this world.

One extraordinary person is enough.

Thinking this, he glanced at his skill bar.

Weapon combat is now at Lv2.

I don't know what skills I'll get after reaching the maximum level.

Thinking this way.

"System, use 3 blank skill books to upgrade weapon combat."

[Used "Blank Skill Book" x3, Weapon Combat Lv2 -> Weapon Combat Lv.Max. Confirm? Yes/No]

"yes!"

[Weapon combat skill has reached the maximum level (Lv.Max), passive skill activated: Weapon Parry]

[Weapon Parry: When the user is armed, the opponent's first attack will be 100% blocked. This includes bullets, rockets, space-based weapons, depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds, nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, vacuum extermination bombs, etc. Cooldown: 30 minutes.]

[Note: This effect only blocks the attack; it does not negate the subsequent explosion damage from the weapon.]

Goodness, if I learn a back strengthening exercise, can I change my name to Li Ang?

...

After this battle, another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Lopez looked at Levi with a mocking expression.

"What? What now?"

Li Wei felt uneasy under that gaze.

"It's nothing, congratulations, newbie."

Lopez chuckled and nudged Levi with his elbow.

"What exactly happened?"

"This is your first time testifying in court. How does it feel?"

Hearing this, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking something serious had happened.

That's the result.

"What else could you feel?"

He shrugged.

"Seeing how confident you are, I'm relieved. Enjoy yourself." After saying that, Lopez gave Levi a meaningful look.

"What does that mean? Does she know something inside?"

To be honest, Li Weiba is determined to lose this case brought by the local prosecutor's office against Lawrence Mellick.

Losing this case at least gives you a chance to trigger a [punishment quest].

Nobody dislikes becoming stronger, right?

...

In court, Li Wei sat in the back of the audience, waiting to be called as a witness.

Normally, officers who make arrests like him are not required to testify in court.

Unless the defense or prosecution lawyer specifically requests him to testify in court.

Today, he was named by Lawrence's lawyer.

Monica Stevens.

Seeing that iconic red hair, Li Wei touched his chin.

Suddenly an idea came to me.

He knew a little about Monica.

He's a ruthless person.

They have flexible moral boundaries and will do anything as long as they have money.

She had a relationship with her boyfriend, Old Money Wesley, whom she had just started dating, and they even got engaged.

The two later broke up due to differing beliefs and Wesley's infidelity.

As long as you don't offend this woman and you can afford to pay her or provide her with corresponding benefits, she will genuinely work.

And those with exceptional abilities.

Just as Li Wei was having his own little scheme, the judge on the bench called out his name: "Now, please welcome Constable Li Wei to appear in court to testify."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei stood up and, led by a bailiff, went to the witness stand.

"Officer Li, do you have any religious beliefs?"

Li Wei shook his head: "No, Your Honor."

The judge nodded and took out a piece of paper: "Now please repeat what I said."

After a pause, the judge read the declaration on the paper aloud: "I swear that everything I have said is true, and there is absolutely no lying!"

Li Wei raised his right hand and solemnly recited the oath.

"Defense attorney, as the party subpoenaing, you may now begin your questioning."

"Yes, Your Honor."

Monica stood up; she was in great shape.

She was elegant in demeanor, well-dressed, and possessed the charm of a legal professional.

She took two steps forward and came to stand in front of Li Wei.

"Officer Li, why were you there outside my client's company that evening?"

Li Wei didn't hide anything and recounted his investigation process during the day: "Afterwards, I felt that Melik was still a suspect, so I decided to carry out surveillance."

"All right, Officer Li, after you heard the gunshot and entered my client's company, what did you see?"

"I saw Das pointing a gun at Dr. Guy Lusen."

"Where was my client located at that time?"

"About ten meters from Dr. Luxem."

"When you fired your gun to stop Das and prevent the situation from escalating further, what did my client, Mr. Melik, do?"

"He lunged at me. I arrested him after I fired the shot."

"Very well, Your Honor, my questioning is concluded. Based on the facts presented, my client only meets the charge of assaulting a police officer brought by the prosecution. Other charges, such as human experimentation and murder, are entirely unfounded."

"The source of this incriminating evidence is Dr. Guy Lusen, a doctor with a history of corruption, who is restricted from leaving Los Angeles, keeps drugs in his home, and is morally questionable. I strongly question the reliability of this evidence and whether it constitutes defamation against my client!"

"No! I was framed! Those drugs weren't mine!"

Upon hearing Monica say this, Guy stood up excitedly and shouted.

"Silence! Silence!!"

The scene erupted into chaos as the judge repeatedly struck the gavel.

After a short while, the crowd quieted down.

"Your Honor, Dr. Luxembourg's statement is merely his own account. In his case, the court has already delivered its verdict, and that is a settled fact!"

"Objection! The defense is citing precedents irrelevant to this case!"

"Dr. Luxembourg, as a direct provider of evidence and a witness in this case, has a background of personal stance and past offenses that are extremely important to the truth of this case!"

Monica immediately retorted.

After listening to Monica's words, the judge pondered for a moment. He then addressed the prosecution's lawyer: "Objection overruled!"

"Both the prosecution and the defense have now concluded their closing statements. The court is now in recess for one hour. Jury members, please make your verdicts before the trial resumes."

"During this period, you are prohibited from discussing this case with anyone, from accessing external information without authorization, and must remain in isolation at all times."

Boom!

The judge struck the gavel again.

"Everyone stand up!"

At the bailiff's shout, everyone stood up.

The jury was taken to a special lounge, isolated from the outside world.

The others stayed put and rested.

Li Wei also returned to the audience seats.

At the prosecution's table, Chief Prosecutor Sean Delmont was looking at Monica with a serious expression.

Looking at her confident expression.

"Miss Stevens, don't you have even the slightest bit of shame?"
