Chapter 179 (2/2)
Donne looked at the man and shook his head. ”It doesn't look like duvier's father, but more like a brother. It's a pity.”
”I, Charles cadier, am currently acting as the head of the cadier family. I can be regarded as his brother for the time being.”
Charles said faintly, ”what advice do you have?”
”That is to say, the cardier family, forget what you say now?”
Donne smiled. ”Well, in that case, I have an account to settle with you after the meeting. Don't go.”
Charles sneered, ”wait until you can leave.”
”Don't worry, it won't be long.”
Donne yawned and said to the jurors who did not know the truth: ”one of duvier's crimes was to openly trample on imperial laws, occupy the Brussels iron mine owned by Ellington without authorization, and enslave Ellington residents to forcibly serve and dig mines.”
”Duvier's second crime is that after the Lord recovered the Brussels iron mine, he ignored the Lord's peace request and refused to compensate Ellington's losses. Instead, he declared war on Ellington and sent his soldiers to try to destroy Ellington, resulting in Ellington's losses...”
Thinking of the lie detector under his feet, Downton took back his pathetic words and continued without changing his face or jumping his heart: ”Duvier's third crime, Baron duvier colluded with Carmen Parr, the priest of the dark snake, and ordered his men to secretly abduct hundreds of girls in the territory for Carmen's sacrifice... Apart from others, I think this third article alone is enough to prove that duvier deserved his death.”
Dark snake!
Suddenly hearing the name, the jurors sitting changed their faces, lowered their voices and began to talk.
They couldn't help but be nervous, because when Donne said these words, the polygraph didn't respond, that is, what he said was all true!
”Oh, by the way, I think the mercenary guild should have found a letter. It must have been lost for one reason or another?”
With a smile, Donne took the envelope from his arms and threw it in front of the jurors: ”but I have another one. This is the letter between duvier and the members of the dark snake. You can have a look.”
Then, Donne said with a smile: ”in addition, I have to add that what the mercenary guild found and this is copied. I hid the original, and there are as many copies as I need, so don't worry.”
Leandr, who couldn't move, almost vomited blood!
At the beginning, they wasted a lot of resources and strength to finally calm down the matter of duvier. The nobles were actually involved with the dark snake. No matter who knows, this result is not a good thing.
So they didn't summon Donne until the matter subsided. They planned to take the opportunity to beat the newcomer of the Royal School. Don't be too arrogant.
As a result... Who would have thought that he was still holding the letter in his hand!
Charles's face was suddenly gloomy.
The jurors next to him looked at him with strange eyes.
These fools!
Charles scolded, stood up, shook his hand and was ready to leave.
”Mr. Charles, please don't go.”
Donne stopped him and said faintly, ”Baron duvier and I had settled the compensation. He confessed to the embezzlement of Ellington's property and agreed to compensate for the illegal income. We signed a contract. Since you are the acting patriarch of the cardier family now, I think you need to have a look at this contract.”
Charles took a deep breath and looked gloomy: ”what contract?”
”Please see.”
Donne smiled and publicly revealed his contract.
The jurors just glanced at it, and suddenly there was a breath. They looked at Donne one by one, as if they were looking at some monster.
”Ha ha... Ha ha... Ha ha...”
After reading the contract, Charles suddenly burst into laughter and tears came out.
Donne didn't speak and waited for him to laugh.
After a few minutes, Charles finally finished laughing. He looked at Donne like an idiot: ”I wasn't sure before, but I'm sure now. You're really an idiot.”
”Really? I think I'm smart.”
”No, you're really an idiot.”
Charles shook his head with a sneer on his face: ”two million gold coins? How dare you! Do you think the gold coins of our Kadir family are blown by the wind?”
”No,” said Donne very seriously, ”I think your family's gold coins are robbed.”
”You --”
Charles took a deep breath and said coldly, ”I won't admit the contract you signed with duvier. It's ridiculous, and the authenticity of the contract is very doubtful. I think duvier signed the contract under your coercion, so the contract is invalid!”
The smile on Donne's face gradually disappeared: ”that is to say, the cadillans want to default?”
”We never owe, how can we default? Baron Donne, don't think too high of yourself in arlinks. Be careful to fall half dead.”
Charles sneered and turned away.
”I won't fall to death.”
Donne's mouth turned up: ”but you might.”
As soon as his voice fell, Charles, who had just come to the entrance of the stairs, suddenly snorted, slipped under his feet, and rolled down the stairs in embarrassment!
Are we dazzled?
The jurors were stunned. Why did the Marquis of cadil fall?
Charles, who fell to the ground under the stairs and was half dead with pain all over, looked very ugly.
