Chapter 388 - Xiong Des Doom (IV) (2/2)

Because he already knew of the outcome today, he forced himself to be calm. He arranged everything already. He had used up everything he could use, including his deal with the Five Kings.

To arrange him with the best detention facility, it was already put in place.

He had once heard of this kind of situation.

During his dealings with the underworld, there was once an underworld king who ruled without showing his face. It was said that the king in the east was imprisoned in this country. However, he still lived in luxury and could use his authority outside. The only difference was that he just stayed inside the prison. Aside from that, it was said to be no different with living outside.

There were places like that. A detention facility for the most powerful and the wealthiest.

Even if he was to be imprisoned, he would live well and still have control in the outside world. He still had secret funds in a few tax-haven countries... and his daughter.

This gave him hope and his last saving straw.

Xiong De woke up from his daze when he was called by the head judge. For the sake of avoiding capital punishment and having a better correctional facility, he confessed to his crimes.

Every word was shocking.

The court was very loud and the murmurs of the journalists echoed in the hallway.

They already knew that the accusations against Xiong De were likely to be true, because no media company would dare put up such a self-destructive fake list of legally-sensitive evidences. SHM did not receive a warning from the police department, so it could only be true.

But they could never guess that Xiong De would immediately plead guilty to his crimes with a straight face.

Among the front row seats in the court, Old Xiong tightened his grip on his cane. ”This unfilial sc.u.m did not feel sorry at all. He is confessing with such an arrogant face. He obviously never regretted even one of his crimes! Despicable!”

Xiong Zhi's eyes were cold, too. She had expected to see a battered, worn-out, and helpless Xiong De. An evil grass was really a tough nut to crack. He had been pushed to this point yet still acted loftily in front of them. He was already humiliated in front of the whole world, but he still thought that he could crawl back up.

Did this guy really think that the world would once again be under his feet?

The corner of her lips curled up. As if she would allow that.

”Don't worry, Grandfather. Xiong De is bound to sink deeper. Soon, he will not have such a proud face ever again. ”
