Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

Just to avoid any further complications.

Xingjian, who was caught at noon, was sent to the Supreme Court in the afternoon.

The Supreme Court of the Granna Administrative Department differed from other courtrooms, its layout blending Eastern and Western influences. It made no distinction between the Eastern Censorate and the Western courts, handling only the most high-profile cases.

The presiding judge and other jurors were so frightened when they saw that Xingjian didn't even wear handcuffs that they broke out in cold sweats.

But then I thought, we are now in the highest court of the Administrative Department.

The Archbishop of the Granna Church and the chief priest of the shrine were both present.

There are two figures who stand at the pinnacle of power in the Eastern and Western mystical systems.

No matter how strong you are, can you really rebel against the heaven?

Xingjian, you may not be able to kill us all!

Of course, the reason why the presiding judge felt guilty was entirely because he was not upright and his shadow was crooked.

The purpose of this trial was clear: to convict Xingjian.

This is a request from the Queen of the Snow Tiger Empire.

The presiding judge could still tell which was more important, the Empress of the Empire or a powerless hunter.

On the way to the judge's seat, Xingjian discovered that there were many familiar faces sitting in the gallery.

Not only the people from the hunting group, but also Jiang He, Noah, and even the dean came.

Spectators are allowed to attend cases in the courtroom as long as they do not disrupt order.

Xingjian: "Speaking of which, I'm about to be publicly executed. Where's your trump card, Erica?"

Erica glanced at everyone in the gallery and indeed spotted Yule.

Given Yul's personality, he would definitely be there even if Jiuyue didn't invite him.

The person who understands sister complex better than the sister complex is the sister herself.

Snow Tiger Queen Hina, who was hiding behind the scenes, also noticed Yul.

"Why is that guy here?"

The so-called trial can be said to be an invisible form of battle between powers.

When it comes to competing for power, the only person the Snow Tiger Queen fears is probably the man who is about to become the King of White Lions.

However, Yule just sat in the audience from beginning to end and did not move.

Sheena wasn't too worried.

If Xingjian is really related to Yuer, the trial is about to begin, and Yuer cannot do nothing.

Sure enough, they came here to watch the show.

After all, she is an ultimate sister complex, and she would be interested in a man who looks a bit like her sister.

But interest aside, I believe the Twelfth Prince would not fall out with the Snow Tiger Empire because of a stranger.

Queen Hina was half right.

Yule is still struggling.

When he heard that Xingjian was taken away by the Administrative Department, Yulben planned to intervene immediately.

However, using power to interfere with the judiciary is not what a good king should do.

Of course, if it is your own sister, that is a different matter.

Unfortunately, Xingjian is not.

Even if he was unwilling to give up, it was just Yule's wishful thinking. Yule himself couldn't say for sure whether Xingjian and his sister had any connection.

So, Yule decided to sit in on the trial first to determine whether Xingjian had committed these crimes before making a decision.

Perhaps, Xingjian could be acquitted without his own action.

——That must be impossible.

Xingjian has done all those things.

Erica knew it, and Hoshimi knew it too.

So Erica's trump card is to check power with power.

My brother has become so powerful after not seeing him for five years.

My previous image of being a loser deceived me.

Okay, since you lied to me first.

Erica is not polite to her own family.

If you have power but don't use it, aren't you stupid?

Erica: "Xingjian, follow my instructions and make a gesture with your left hand. You must let your brother see it."

Xingjian: "The twelfth prince?"

Xingjian glanced sideways in the direction where Yuer was sitting.

The slender white fingers of the left hand, the little finger and ring finger are retracted, the middle finger and index finger are together and straightened, and the thumb is slightly bent.

Like a gesture used to say hello.

Xingjian didn't understand what this gesture meant.

No one else will understand either.

In the entire courtroom, only two people understood the meaning of this gesture.

And it was only today that Erica understood why Yule taught her this gesture.

"Don't forget, this is the secret code between us, Erica."

"Code? Why do we need codes?"

"It may be difficult for me to help you from now on, brother. But if you ever encounter a problem you can't solve, Erica, just make this gesture to me. Then, I will do whatever it takes to save you!"

It turned out that from that day on, Yule had already made a plan in his mind to endure hardships and play the role of a useless prince to accumulate strength.

But if Erica really encountered an unsolvable crisis and made this hand signal, Yule would rather abandon all disguises and save his sister at all costs.

What an incomprehensible super sister complex.

So when this super sister complex, Yul Shara, saw the special gesture made by Hoshimi's left hand.

The same ice-blue eyes, the pupils of which contracted incredibly quickly.

"That, that's..."

Jiu Yue looked at Yuer who was sitting in the next seat, staring at Xingjian, and her body suddenly trembled violently. She immediately suspected that this sister-con was having another attack.

"Erica, it's you!!"

Yur's excitement at this moment cannot be described in words.

My persistence was not in vain, and my guess was not delusion.

This gesture is known only to Erica and me.

There is no doubt that it is his own sister!

At this moment, in Yule's eyes, the person sitting on the judgment seat was no longer expressionless, but was preparing to be judged.

Instead, it was his most lovely sister, who was looking at him with tears in her eyes and a pleading expression, pulling his sleeve with grievance and whispering.

"Brother, save me."

Yule's teeth were almost broken.

How can we not save him?

Chapter 129: Xingjian's Royal Backers [5K plus more]

“Let’s go!”

Are all butlers named Sebastian?

The old butler who followed Yule immediately leaned forward and put his ear close to Yule.

"You've been with me for three years."

"3 years and 149 days, Your Highness Yule."

"The reason I hired you is because I trust your ability."

"It is a great pleasure, Your Highness."

"Now, put your career on the line and get this sorted out before the trial is over."

The old butler's eyes, which were weathered yet shrewd, suddenly lit up and became extremely serious.

I followed His Highness for three crucial years, witnessing His Highness's transformation from an unknown and useless prince to the White Lion King praised by bards.

This was the first time His Highness had given him an order with such a request.

This is unprecedented and must be a very important task.

"At your service, Your Highness."

"You, right now..."

After listening to Yule's arrangements, the old butler's expression changed again.

But from His Highness's tone, one can tell that this is no joke.

It seems that today's trial is destined to be not peaceful.

After arranging the old butler to leave, Yule sat down, forcibly suppressing his inner excitement and looking straight ahead in order not to reveal his purpose.

But in the eyes of others, it cannot be hidden at all.

"Wow, this guy keeps staring at Hoshimi."

Although it was Jiuyue who brought Yuer here, Jiuyue still felt a little disgusted by the sister-con energy that overflowed from head to toe.

But it’s a good thing. September doesn’t know yet that Yule has been controlled by Erica.

The more the twelfth prince cares about Xingjian, the greater his chances of winning.

The trial is about to begin.

Seeing Xingjian standing at the judge's seat, the presiding judge cleared his throat and began to ask questions.

"Prosecutors, are you ready?"

The so-called prosecution is the prosecutorial department mentioned by Luo Lu earlier, which is responsible for providing evidence.

The expressionless man in red was standing upright in the seat directly opposite Xingjian.

However, unlike usual trials, this time even the prosecutor himself was arranged by Queen Hina, so there is no need to explain the origin of the evidence provided by the Procuratorate.

"Defendant, is your lawyer present?" The presiding judge glanced at Xingjian with contempt.

You're just asking even though you already know the answer.

The presiding judge knew better than anyone that Xingjian not only had no time to find a lawyer, but no one would dare to be his lawyer in this trial.

The defendant can only be detained before the trial, and if he wants to find evidence to prove his innocence, he must have the assistance of a lawyer.

Without a lawyer, Xingjian cannot make any substantive rebuttal to the existing evidence.

It's just a one-sided judgment.

“…” Xing Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and did not speak.

I won't say anything until my lawyer comes.

Well, Xingjian doesn’t understand any of this at all.
