Chapter 1483
“Eight years ago, you had a lover that got pregnant. She planned to give birth to the child, but you secretly got
some people to abort the baby. Here’s the information on your lover’s treatment records in the hospital. We also
have a DNA report of the unborn child.
“Five years ago, you secretly took down a consortium and made a ten billion-dollar profit. Here’s the relevant
evidence.”
Francesco looked at the presented evidence and read them out one by one.
Hearing this, Graydon’s face paled. He roared, “Impossible! This is impossible! I’m being framed! I didn’t do this! I
didn’t do any of it! I want to see Lance! I want to see the King!
“You’re not qualified to trial me, James!
“I’m a three-star general, James! You need an approved document from the King to arrest and put me on trial!
Where’s the document? Without a document, you have no right to convict me!”
Graydon panicked and kept shouting.
James got up, walked toward Francesco, and picked up the large stack of documents. Then, he slowly walked
toward Graydon.

“Over the past decade, thirty people have died in your hands, Graydon. Moreover, the funds in your account
amount to one hundred and eighty billion dollars. Even if Lance showed up in person today, he would not be able to
save you.
“Based on the crimes you’ve committed over the years, even a hundred shots wouldn’t be sufficient punishment.”
Graydon glared at James and said with resentment, “I don’t believe you dare to kill me, James. I’ll kill you if you try!
I won’t die today!”
“You can go ahead and try.”
James was not threatened by him at all.
He turned to the courthouse’s chief justice in front of him and asked coldly, “Chief Justice, we’ve collected so much
evidence. Please make a conviction.”
Hearing this, the group of jurors began to discuss.
After discussing for ten minutes, Francesco said, “I announce that Graydon is guilty and will be deprived of his
three-star general military rank. Since this matter is significant, I suggest we take him into custody for the time
being and wait for a juridical review.”
“Why do we need to take him into custody? It’s a crime worthy of the death penalty! He should be executed to
death immediately!”

James was dissatisfied with the trial result. He glared at Franceso and said, “Chief Justice, you should think twice.
There’s conclusive evidence of his crime. The crimes he committed are worth being shot dozens of times.”
With helplessness on his face, Francesco said, “Emperor, this is no joke. He’s a three-star general. Even with
conclusive evidence, I’m the only one here. There isn’t any representative from the military or government. I
wouldn’t dare convict him.”

James said coldly, “The chief justice wouldn’t dare convict a criminal? Could it be that you’re also trying to cover up
for Graydon?”
“James, you better let me go. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’re tortured to death.”
“You’re threatening me?”
James’ face darkened.
He pulled out his gun immediately.
Bang!
A gunshot resounded.
A bloody gunshot wound appeared on Graydon’s forehead.
“You…”

Graydon parted his lips.
Before he could finish his sentence, his body gradually fell to the floor.
Standing in front, the chief justice, Francesco, and the other jurors were dumbfounded.
This…
Killing in the courthouse was something they had never heard of or seen before.
They were frightened at that moment.
After James pulled out his gun, he ordered, “Clean up the body and surround the courthouse. Dispatch the Red
Flame Army and investigate all the employees of the courthouse. Don’t let anyone who has
committed any crime escape.”
Hearing this, Francesco trembled in fear and fell off his chair.
The same happened to the others. All of them collapsed to the floor in horror.
James ignored the people in the courthouse.
He had to take control of the courthouse to prepare for the following clean-up and put people from
different factions on trial.
If someone else controlled the courthouse, they would restrict his future plans.
