Several days later.
The public opinion about this lawsuit has been continuously fernting.
A large number of reporters and onlookers arrived at the Star Ring City Civil Court a day in advance to watch the spectacle.
The entire area was tightly packed even before the trial began.
For the first ti in history, a rare deploynt of guards was sent to maintain order by Star Ring City.
Additionally, to avoid interviews, the officials of the Civil Court were avoiding the main entrance, keeping a very low profile in these days.
At the sa ti, the Star Ring City Civil Court has suspended other civil dispute cases.
...
At the top of the Federation Building, Su Mo and Alles were drinking coffee and conversing.
"I found out, the plaintiff in the civil lawsuit against you is none other than Commander Kellaras of the Kedora Planet Fortress. From the administrative level, the highest judge in the Civil Court isn’t even worth Commander Kellaras’s attention. So, tomorrow’s lawsuit will be extrely difficult, and you should be prepared for difficulty."
Su Mo thought for a mont and said to Alles: "I understand."
"But there’s no need to worry, I have already arranged for the best lawyers in the Federation to be ready."
Alles didn’t want Su Mo to have too much pressure. There was sothing he hadn’t told Su Mo; he had originally intended to get so renowned and skilled lawyers from Star Ring City. But upon hearing it was against Commander Kellaras, every lawyer in Star Ring City ran faster than rabbits, and none were willing to take on the job.
Hence, Alles was forced to rely on his country’s team of lawyers. On the surface, they seed excellent, but in actuality, they were disadvantaged in lawsuits. After all, the laws to be argued were of Star Ring City, and local lawyers definitely had the edge.
"Ahem, the President of Alles greatly appreciates your efforts, just do your best. I will also start preparing from my end, so you shouldn’t feel too pressured."
Su Mo thought for a second, and replied sowhat awkwardly.
Alles looked at Su Mo, slightly surprised: "You have preparations on your side too?"
"Actually, Miss Ge Yi from the Mist Country insisted on helping; it was hard to refuse her generosity."
"That’s a good thing; having more people in this situation ans more strength. But let’s not talk about these things. I ca to tell you that no matter what the trial result is, you must stay calm! You have the Federation backing you, so there’s no need to overly worry. Don’t do anything impulsive."
Alles didn’t dwell on the matter any further, instead seriously advising Su Mo.
"I understand, I will accept whatever the result is with composure."
Su Mo understood Alles’s words and nodded in agreent.
...
The next morning.
The Civil Court located in the Third Ring of Star Ring City was packed tight, layer upon layer of people.
Countless reporters and broadcasters were frantically trying to get in.
"Make way, let in."
"Why? I want to go in too."
"I’m here to cheer him on."
"Haha, bro, stop pretending, we’re all here to ride the wave."
...
Due to the intense publicity, and because this was the first-ever lawsuit involving an individual against Star Ring City, and the significant issues at stake, it drew universal attention.
Whoever could shoot an original video could garner massive traffic.
However, since Star Ring City prohibits flying objects, any aerial filming devices were ineffective.
So, it depended entirely on manpower to squeeze through.
At this mont, squads of elite soldiers from the Federation marched in to open a path.
"Please step aside, clear the way!"
Soon, a path was cleared through the crowded throng.
Su Mo and President Alles walked over with others.
"The defendant is here!"
A sharp-eyed person yelled out.
Instantly, the crowd beca even more chaotic, and nurous reporters frantically held out microphones.
Su Mo’s mouth twitched non-stop, never expecting to beco famous in such a way.
It truly validated the saying, "Good news stays indoors, bad news travels a thousand miles."
At this mont, Alles whispered to Su Mo: "Don’t answer any questions, just go straight in."
"Okay."
Su Mo gave a slight nod, indicating he understood.
Soon, Su Mo and the others navigated through the swarming crowd and entered the Civil Court smoothly.
Imdiately, a dedicated guiding officer ca up with a stiff expression and asked,
"Are you Su Mo?"
"Yes."
Su Mo quickly identified himself.
"Please follow ."
The officer led Su Mo and the others to Courtroom No. 1.
A few minutes later, they entered Courtroom No. 1.
This courtroom sowhat resembled a university lecture hall but was different; it was two symtrical lecture halls.
Behind the trial and defense seats, many supporters could be seated.
Since Su Mo and the others arrived early, the opposite side was still empty, and even the trial judge had not arrived yet.
"There’s still ti, let’s sit for a while."
Su Mo said to Qian Chengxue and others.
Qian Chengxue slightly nodded and found a place to sit.
At this mont, Sun Duoxiang said nervously: "Boss, how much do you think they’ll make you compensate?"
"How should I know, there’s no specific amount on the summons, but I guess it won’t be small."
Su Mo was also feeling sowhat anxious.
"Boss, if you can’t pay, will you have to go back inside?"
"Can’t you wish so good for ?"
Su Mo almost wanted to kick Sun Duoxiang.
Just then, the courtroom door opened again, and Su Mo and the others looked over.
Seeing who ca in, they were slightly stunned, seeing Prince Sith from the Galmotos Empire walk in with so other empire officials.
They certainly didn’t approach Su Mo to say hello, but instead found a corner to sit down, apparently here to observe.
"Damn, what are these imperial dogs doing here? Just for fun?"
Sun Duoxiang couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
"Fine, if they want to observe, let them. It’s their freedom."
Su Mo replied casually.
"No Boss, it’s understandable if it’s just Prince Sith; at least he doesn’t show too much emotion. But look at those lackeys beside him, each with a schadenfreude expression, it’s infuriating."
"Alright, ignore them."
Su Mo had no intention of wasting energy on them right now.
In the corner, a young man from the Demun Empire grinned and said.
"That Su Mo is dood this ti; even though there’s no capital punishnt, losing this lawsuit ans the compensation will be enough to end him."
"Exactly, serves him right for being so arrogant!"
...
"Shut up!"
Sith suddenly turned and sternly warned the other empire people around him.
Everyone from the major empires was stunned, sowhat fearfully asking.
"Prince Sith, what’s wrong with you? Did we say sothing wrong? That guy is from the Federation, and he killed Duke Ashton after all."
