American Comics: The Matrix

His strong heartbeat immediately caught Matt's attention, and the blind lawyer recognized him as Spider-Man almost instantly.

However, he did not point it out. Instead, he greeted Peter as if they were meeting for the first time.

Peter didn't recognize Matt. He greeted him politely and sat next to Harry.

The two began to whisper.

Both Harry and Peter thought that the outcome of this lawsuit had already been determined. The Green Goblin would definitely be brought to justice, it was just a matter of how much punishment he would receive.

Because in their opinion, there is no doubt that Storm is the Green Goblin, and the rest of the criminal evidence has been collected.

But the reality surprised them greatly.

In the court, when Matt, wearing sunglasses, listed all the charges against the Green Goblin one by one, the lawyer defending the Green Goblin immediately started to refute and try to exonerate him.

Peter didn't understand why there were still people defending the Green Goblin when there was irrefutable evidence of his crime.

Why did he still insist that his green skin was not caused by the stolen potion, but by a skin disease?

Why is it that when he is a super villain who has committed heinous crimes, he can openly turn the tables in court and accuse Matt and Norman of discriminating against him, a patient with skin disease?

He even accused Matt and Norman with an extremely arrogant and complacent expression.

Matt remained calm and answered questions fluently.

At the same time, he also felt Peter's confusion and anger through his heartbeat and breath.

He wanted to turn around and tell him immediately:

"Because of profit."

"This is reality, Spider-Man."

Chapter 111: Attack in the Courtroom

Reality is always cruel.

It is not black and white, and the law is not entirely a tool to uphold justice.

Especially in such a society, a lawyer's eloquence is likely to win sympathy for criminals and save them from punishment.

The reason why Matt is a lawyer while being a superhero is because he not only wants to defeat his enemies physically, but also wants to make them convicted legally.

"But I want to remind you, Mr. Matt Murdock, that there is no evidence that Mr. Storm is the Green Goblin." The opposing lawyer said to Matt, then he turned to look at the judge and explained, "The person who sent Mr. Storm to the police station was a masked criminal named Spider-Man."

He directly labeled Spider-Man a criminal and produced many reports from the Daily Bugle to support his point of view.

Everyone knows that the Daily Bugle never says anything nice about Spider-Man.

What made Peter even more heartbroken was that the photos in those reports were all taken by him...

The two sides argued endlessly, and Matt and Norman both felt it was a very difficult situation because the Green Goblin seemed to be fearless and more importantly, the attitude of the jury on the scene seemed to be somewhat biased towards Storm.

Obviously, both of them have realized that there is someone behind the Green Goblin.

They were absolutely right.

The person standing behind the Green Goblin at this moment is naturally Kingpin.

After a few days of waiting, Storm finally agreed to give him the lizard serum in exchange for his freedom.

I have to say that although he has turned into the Green Goblin, Storm is still not as good as the crazy Norman. He is just a powerful clown wearing a Green Goblin mask, and his character is much worse than Norman.

He was worried that Jin Bing would really abandon him and he would have to spend the rest of his life in prison, and everything he had would become Norman's fault.

But at least Storm was not too stupid. At least he did not reveal the location of the serum immediately, but waited until Jin and Bie took him out before giving the serum to him.

Otherwise he would really lose any value.

Because of this, Kingpin immediately prepared a lawyer for Storm to defend him.

It's true that Kingpin is a criminal, but a man in his position can't use violence for everything.

In fact, it is just the opposite. Kingpin pays more attention to rules than ordinary people.

The reason is simple, that is, he is very good at using rules.

In a case like the Green Goblin, all we need to do is let him win the lawsuit, and Kingpin doesn't need to do anything big.

If possible, he didn't want to make a big fuss and attract attention.

Now everything is going exactly as he wanted.

Just wait for the Green Goblin to get out of prison, then he can bring all the villains he has gathered to attack Spider-Man together.

in court.

Peter was very worried.

If this trial fails due to Spider-Man's bad reputation, he swears that he will never sell any photos to the Daily Bugle again in his life!

Fortunately, Matt was well prepared.

"Your Honor, the Daily Bugle is just a private media outlet. All of its statements are biased. This kind of evidence is not enough to prove that Spider-Man is a masked criminal, nor can it rid us of the suspicion that Storm is the Green Goblin."

Matt said: "We have a lot of video evidence that proves Storm is the Green Goblin.

"Not only that, the New York City Police Commissioner is also willing to testify for us that Spider-Man is not a criminal."

Matt smiled, he had received help from Sheriff Stacy before the court session.

"Sheriff Stacy?"

Peter almost screamed.

He had never thought that one day Police Officer Stacy would speak up for Spider-Man.

Previously, in all New York police announcements, Spider-Man was portrayed as a lawless, self-righteous guy.

At this moment, Stacy, dressed in police uniform, walked forward, and her solemn look left a fresh memory in Peter's mind.

Has he changed his personality?

Peter thought that it was because he had been doing good things continuously during this period that he changed Stacy's opinion.

But in reality, George Stacy still hates Spider-Man.

But this is only because he feels that Spider-Man's actions disrupted the police's arrangements and that the other party has no power to punish the criminals, rather than thinking that Spider-Man is a criminal who has done all kinds of evil.

He probably hates Spider-Man.

But in comparison, he was more unwilling to see dangerous people like the Green Goblin get away with it.

That is contempt for the law and justice!

A sheriff's testimony in court is far more trustworthy than that of a private media outlet. Matt then presented evidence one by one.

Slowly, the originally arrogant Storm's expression turned ugly.

Because he found that among these evidences, a large part of them were things he had never done!

Storm was immediately furious.

It would be fine to accuse him of stealing potions and equipment, since he was the one who did it anyway. But don’t you think it’s a bit too much for me, a major shareholder of Osborne, to attack the cleaning lady?

"Norman Osborn, you are slandering me!"

The angry Storm punched the table in front of him, and the huge force smashed the table into pieces, and broken wood chips flew all over the floor.

Seeing this, Norman looked very proud.

"The evidence is overwhelming, Storm."

"You said you're not the Green Goblin, but your superpowers can't be faked."

As long as Storm can be proved to be the Green Goblin, it will not be difficult to prove the other crimes.

At the same time, Jin Bing, who was watching this scene through the micro camera, also had a bad expression on his face.

He respects the rules on the premise that the rules are in his favor.

Now, thanks to Matt's defense, Sheriff Stacy's testimony in court, and Storm's own stupidity, the possibility of getting away with the crime has become slim.

To be honest, if this brainless idiot didn't want to get the serum he had hidden, Kingpin would have been shot to death by Bullseye long ago.

But now, he had to take special measures.

The huge white monster first used his small eyes to record the appearance of Matt and Stacy in his mind, then turned his head and looked at Bullseye: "Tell them to get ready."

"Yes."

Bullseye nodded and turned to leave.

Dozens of minutes later, several super criminals gathered on the top of a building a few blocks away from the court.

As Kingpin's direct subordinate, Bullseye undoubtedly has the greatest say among these people.

"If you save the Green Goblin, you'll get one million dollars, right?"

A strange man wearing a purple cloak and claw-like hands looked at Bullseye and asked before taking action.

"Don't worry, Prowler, Jin Bing is very trustworthy when it comes to money." said Bullseye.

This is the truth.

Money is the law for Kingpin, and everything he does is for money and profit.

Therefore, he also attaches great importance to the power and restraint brought by money. If he easily breaks the contract, then the wealth he has worked so hard to accumulate will lose its meaning.

"I don't care about money,"

At this time, another man in wilderness clothes spoke. He was completely different from the others who were secretive. Instead, he wore very little, with no cover on his resolute face, and almost no protective equipment on his body. Then a necklace of wild animal fangs was hung on his body as a decoration.

——Hunter Kraven.

This world-renowned powerful hunter is now targeting the heroic Spider-Man who has appeared in New York.

As long as he can hunt this prey, his trip will not be in vain.

but……

"I heard there are two Spider-Men? Will they both show up this time?"

"I can't guarantee that." Bullseye said, "But don't worry, Spider-Man is an obstacle to Kingpin, and Kingpin will get rid of him no matter what."

"That's no problem."

Kraven smiled slightly, as if a wild beast bared its fangs. He was like a majestic lion, with his fur vest fluttering in the wind.

During the long hunting process, he gradually became dissatisfied with fighting with wild beasts, as those animals were no match for him at all.

When Kingpin found him and told him the news about Spider-Man, Kraven immediately became interested.

Since the beasts can't bring themselves to have fun, what about the superhumans?

The powerful Spider-Man is a rare prey.

Therefore, unlike the Prowler who only wanted to finish the job quickly and get paid, Kraven didn't care about the money at all. He was eager for Spider-Man to appear soon, and the more the better!

At this time, the wind was blowing all around.

boom!

After a puff of smoke, a group of ninjas wearing purple-red ninja uniforms that completely covered their faces suddenly appeared around them.

The ninjas from the Hand are here too.

at the same time.

In the court.

After Storm was overcome by rage, the court security guards immediately used electric batons to shock him so that he could not move.

Matt took advantage of the situation and threw many charges and accusations at the other lawyer, making it difficult for him to cope.

The lawyer on the other side was also very helpless.

He is the lawyer hired by Jin Bing. In terms of professionalism, he is naturally no worse than Matt.

He was able to answer all the evidence of Storm's previous crimes, but the guy blew himself up. Not only that, Matt had no idea about many of Storm's accusations before.

Without preparation, he naturally couldn't be a match for Matt.

At this moment, the judge has already banged the gavel in his hand.
