I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 543 Whose subordinate was that? (36)

Chen Yu felt that the Cultivator Management Committee of Tianmu City should examine its own reasons for things turning out this way.

Have wages increased over the years? Have you worked diligently to secure welfare for the workers of Tianmu City?

The conflict between Taoist and Buddhist cultivators is growing. Have you been fueling this flames?
If you really did a good job, how could those cultivators have been lured away by a single contract?

Thinking about it this way, Chen Yu realized that the Cultivator Management Committee of Tianmu City was truly heinous.

Although things didn't go quite as Chen Yu had imagined, the final result was still pretty good.

After sending out several thousand of his own contracts, Tianyuan had a workforce, and so did Tianmu.

This part of the staff can be managed by the Tianyuan Cultivator Management Committee; all they need to do is provide the funds.

Moreover, by creating such a huge commotion, he actually garnered five million in negative emotions.

I only need 3.7 million negative emotions to break the limit, while I need 13.7 million positive emotions.

With ten million in positive emotional reserves left, victory seemed assured.

However, opening champagne prematurely is a big no-no. At this time, you should keep a low profile and absolutely not laugh out loud.

Continuing forward, Chen Yu discovered that the courthouse in Tianmu City was built cleanly and solemnly, with numerous reliefs of star deities related to law displayed there, creating a solemn atmosphere.

He even saw reliefs of the Fire God and the Water God here. The reliefs of the two gods even blinked slightly when Chen Yu passed by, indicating that they were watching this place.

At the end of the road, Chen Yu saw the Inspector General of Changsheng Prefecture and the Temple Keeper of the Thunder God standing there, with an Inspector General and another Temple Keeper whom he had never seen before.

Upon seeing Chen Yu enter, the Chief Inspector of Changsheng Prefecture nodded first, then gestured for everyone to sit down.

Although they are acquaintances, the fact that the other party has reached the position of inspector general suggests that they can still maintain fairness.

The temple keeper of the Thunder God, who was standing to the side, was also a representative of fairness. With them there, win or lose, it was all a testament, the kind of testimony endorsed by the Star Lord.

The temple keeper across from them wore a golden robe, his face blurred, but one could vaguely make out that he was a handsome monk.

The inspector, dressed in a black suit, had an indistinct face, but one could sense his chilling gaze.

All four were Foundation Establishment experts, and there was also the gaze of a Star Lord present. Furthermore, there were even unknown magical artifacts at work below the courtroom.

The various arrangements gave the place a transcendent and sacred feel, even making Chen Yu unconsciously become serious and begin to reflect on the things he had done before.

The little hamster had been trembling ever since she came in, and if you listened carefully, you could hear her talking about the things she had done before:
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have run away from home. I shouldn't have eaten snacks on Chen Yu's bed. I shouldn't have copied his homework. I shouldn't have abused my power to give myself extra chicken legs. I shouldn't have..."

Teacher Zhao also looked around, but his gaze was quite disdainful, filled with contempt for everything around him.

The only one unaffected by the atmosphere here was Ma Daqiang.

He seemed completely unaware of where he was, picking his nose as soon as he came in, behaving as naturally as if he were at home.

Ma Daqiang truly deserves his reputation as a moral paragon; high moral character gives him confidence.

Even the monks, temple keeper, and inspectors opposite him glanced at Ma Daqiang, then nodded secretly, marveling at what a morally upright person he was, wishing they could persuade him to become a Buddhist.

The chief inspector waited patiently until the appointed time, then smiled and said, "Chen Yu, congratulations on making it this far."

"Where."

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin. We'll now examine the case concerning the Disaster Response Department's lawsuit against Tianyuan Chenguang for plagiarism."

Chen Yu had assumed everyone would call a truce, but to his surprise, the first thing they discussed was the dream world. Pointing out the window, Chen Yu asked, puzzled, "We just launched our attack, don't you have anything to say?"

"say what?"

"Like war or something?"

The inspector general looked at Chen Yu with suspicion: "Fighting is fighting, and a ceasefire can be reached afterward. What does this have to do with your infringement issue?"

"It seems that there is not..."

"Then we'll file a separate lawsuit later. What we're discussing now is the issue of infringement."

Looking at the serious-looking chief inspector, Chen Yu felt like a complete novice when it came to law.

So many people died and so much damage was caused, yet the priority issue is still infringement?
This world is so crazy.

Sensing Chen Yu's dilemma, the temple keeper of the Thunder God said, "According to the data provided by the Disaster Response Department and our assessment, 'My Dream' is valued at 30 billion, and its output value will continue to increase in the future. Every day of delay now is a loss of hundreds of millions. In comparison, the destruction caused by war is only a few billion. Naturally, we should prioritize dealing with the dream issue."

"Oh, you can calculate it like that?"

"Otherwise what? That's the standard. Whichever case is more valuable should be tried—isn't that common sense?"

"...It's alright, I was just ignorant. So, where is the plaintiff?"

"here."

The courtroom doors opened again, and Cao Zhen walked in unpretentiously, standing confidently in the plaintiff's seat.

He waved to Chen Yu and said with a smile, "Chen Yu, this must be our first meeting. I've heard so much about you."

"Hmm, I'm not interested."

His assistant, Ma Yueru, sat below, giving Chen Yu a cold glance before nervously turning her face away upon seeing Teacher Zhao.

Seeing that Cao Zhen was alone, the Chief Inspector of Changsheng Prefecture asked, "Cao Zhen, where is your lawyer?"

"We've arrived, we're right here."

A flash of white light appeared, and a phantom image emerged in mid-air before appearing beside Cao Zhen.

Upon seeing the illusory image, Dao Lingyun said softly, "That is the chief temple priest of Bodhisattva Huixian, and also a lawyer with the qualifications of a lawyer in the Great Qian World."

"Junior sister, are you confident? If not, I'll do it."

Dao Lingyun glanced at Chen Yu, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, a mere temple keeper for a Bodhisattva is no problem."

Dao Lingyun was initially full of confidence, but when Cao Zhen said that he had a second lawyer, Dao Lingyun sensed something was wrong.

When the second lawyer arrived, the ominous feeling finally became a reality.

The second lawyer was a spirited and capable woman.

She was tall and had an outstanding presence. Her expression was like an iceberg, giving people a sense of unapproachability and aloofness.

Upon seeing the other person, Ma Daqiang, standing behind Chen Yu, couldn't help but say, "Godfather, this person has such a strong aura. He looks like he's very good at handling lawsuits. Whose subordinate is this? How come he's so capable?"

“It’s my mother,” Dao Lingyun said, her face pale.
