Chapter 606 - Trial for Wells Family Young Masters (1/2)

Inside the hall, the people were waiting impatiently for the debate to start. When either side came inside, the room's temperature seemed to drop by dozens of degrees. The two young men were looking at one another like they were ready to murder the other party.

Mind you, they were trained in martial arts ever since they were young. Because both of them had participated in numerous killings, their gaze was filled with bloodl.u.s.t and killing intent. Those who sat on the front row gritted their teeth in fear. These two were not ordinary men.

When the three judges came inside, all of them stood up. The three judges were extremely famous judges in this city as they were the one who usually handled high level cases. Two of them were men and the other one was a woman. From their appearance, it was clear that they were already above 50 in age, yet their steps were still very firm.

”You may sit down,” one of the judges said calmly.

The audience quickly sat down on their seats. Some of them were sweating as they watched the court unfolded in front of their eyes.

”The grand debate may begin. We will start from Ivan Wells.”

”Thank you,” Ivan stood up from his chair. His gaze was sharp as he stared at Jason. Traces of mocking appeared from deep within his eyes. ”Jason Wells, do you know that based on the law, I'm the legal successor of Wells Family? I'm older than you and I have worked far harder than you.”

He tapped the laptop in front of him. It showed the record of the case that he did in Wells Family.

”As you can see, I have done much more than most young masters in this city. If it's not me as the family head, who will be suitable?”

They had one minute to talk about their statement, but Ivan didn't bother using his time to the fullest. After all, this was only the opening and they merely stated their stances.

Jason watched as Ivan returned back to their seat.

”My dear cousin, it feels as if you're telling me that you're the successor because you're older than me. I believe that the successor shouldn't be selected based on age alone, but more to capabilities. If you think that I have not worked enough, you should see my cases so far.”

Just like Ivan, Jason had collected them all and showed them to the screen. When the crowds saw how many works this young man had, they gasped in surprise. The number was truly overwhelming.

”The Wells Family never made their legal statement that I'm the successor. I wonder why you're accusing me of taking the seat when there's no guarantee about them at all.”

As soon as Jason sat down, Ivan stood up. ”Have you seen the newspaper and news report every single day? The media have been showing you all of your glory. It makes people think that you, Jason Wells, are the true successor of Wells Family.

Because of the misconception, people have been slandering me regarding this matter. It's all because you're slandering me that people are thinking that I'm not the rightful successor. ”

Jason arched his eyebrows. ”Are you blaming me for the reporters who have been following me and letting out the news? Should I sue them for doing their work? The people must be thinking that I'm already crazy.”

Several people snickered when they heard what Jason said. It was true that many reporters only did their work. As for how the news turned out, there were times when people wouldn't know about that.

”Also, why are you saying that I'm slandering you? Shouldn't you give proof that I'm the one slandering you?” Jason asked back, his tone as composed as possible.

Ivan snickered. If the other party thought that he hadn't been prepared, he was terribly wrong.

”The information base in my place has been sabotaged by someone not long after I reveal the fact that you're part of the underworld, Jason. The only one who will do that is you because you will be having a lot of benefit from that. Now, am I wrong?”

Jason shook his head. ”Can you tell me when your information base or whatever has been sabotaged?”

”It's the next day at XX/XX/XXX around 2 PM.”

”Unfortunately, I'm with Laura Nali at that time. We're having lunch in her favorite restaurant. You may check the security camera for more information,” Jason replied placidly.

”You can ask for someone to search it for you!”

Clara raised her hand. ”May I interrupt? This is the grand debate, so please provide the proof of what you say before you're accusing someone. It's unwise to blabber nonsense like that.”

”Ivan, this is the first warning,” one of the judges reminded.

Ivan grunted. He noticed that his lawyer has been giving him signal to calm down. He took a deep breath as he scowled silently. Facing his annoying cousin, he couldn't control himself too well.
