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

Chapter 545 You Know Too Much (56)

This time, Dao Lingyun was defeated.

She still has over two hundred vulnerabilities left, but these vulnerabilities are irrelevant to this case, and she has no chance of turning the tide.

Although they tried their best to salvage the situation at the last minute, the scales still tipped in favor of the other party, maintaining a 3:7 ratio.

Seeing the final result, Dao Lingyun kept trying to find loopholes, but she couldn't find a single one.

Holding Chen Yu's hand, she bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears, and forced a smile as she said, "Senior brother, I..."

"If you want to cry, just cry. It's not a big deal."

In an instant, Dao Lingyun's tear ducts collapsed.

Holding Chen Yu's hand, she cried out, "Senior, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have been so presumptuous! I should have let you hire another lawyer. I'm so sorry!"

Ruffling Dao Lingyun's hair, Chen Yu said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's alright. Watch me now."

Clenching his fists, Chen Yu decided that Cao Zhen would be killed next.

The plaintiff and the defendant are interdependent; without the plaintiff, the defendant would cease to exist.

After all, wearing a helmet when going to court is common sense.

However, Cao Zhen on the other side clearly misunderstood Chen Yu's thoughts.

Seeing Chen Yu's confident demeanor, Cao Zhen nodded.

As expected of Chen Yu, he still has a trump card to turn the tide even at this point.
Looking at the scales, he said to the Inspector General, "Inspector General, what's the current score likely to achieve?"

"Apologize and compensate for the losses, but do not release the code."

"Thank you, but it's not enough."

Cao Zhen has made extensive preparations; a small victory is not enough, a big and decisive victory is necessary.

He used the Merciful Cannon, he sacrificed Tianmu, he orchestrated "Little Dreams," all in an effort to win everything.

Just as he was about to speak, Dao Lingyun's mother stopped him and said seriously, "The money you've given me is about all you've given me. You should take it while you're ahead."

With a slight smile, Cao Zhen said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

“I am your lawyer, and I suggest you stop.”

“I am your employer, I am telling you to let go.”

Seeing that Cao Zhen was determined to do so, Dao Lingyun's mother could only sigh and then sit down to the side.

Straightening his clothes, Cao Zhen faced the surrounding reliefs and said earnestly, "Gentlemen, I know you still have some expectations for Chen Yu because his jade bracelet hasn't changed at all. But look outside, the entire Tianmu Mountain is engulfed in war. Does he really know nothing about this?"

"I really didn't know," Chen Yu said, shaking his head.

"Is that so? Lying is also a sin. Do you dare to say in front of all the Star Lords that you have never coveted Tianmu City?"

Smiling as he looked at Chen Yu, Cao Zhen felt that he had pushed Chen Yu to the point where he was stuck in a dilemma.

If you say yes, you are admitting your sins, and the karmic consequences of the chaos in Tianmu will fall on you, making you bear this enormous karmic burden and interfering with your spiritual practice.

But if you say no, the day-wandering spirits and night-wandering spirits will reveal everything about you, making your testimony completely unreliable.

The courtroom debate is about persuading the Star Lords that although your initiation of war and "My Dream" are not necessarily related, it can still influence some of the Star Lords' likes and dislikes, making victory lean towards me.

Looking at Chen Yu, Cao Zhen sighed helplessly in his heart.

He didn't want to deal with a high school student like this, but Chen Yu was just too dangerous.

To deal with such a nemesis, one must go all out and use all means to defeat him so thoroughly that he cannot recover, thereby seizing his fortune and achieving one's own path to immortality.

If he were given a few more years to grow, he might not be a match for his opponent, but he won't give his opponent that time.

Chen Yu, make your choice!

Facing all the Star Lords, Chen Yu said blankly, "I really have never coveted Tianmu City. What would I do with such a desolate place?"

"You're lying, you... Hey!" Chen Yu's expression was extremely frank, and the bracelet on his wrist did not change color.

After staring at the bracelet for a while, Cao Zhen took out a portable syringe and gave himself an injection.

After calming himself down, he smiled and said, "Perhaps I phrased it incorrectly, so let me rephrase my question. Chen Yu, are you really not deliberately starting a war to achieve your ulterior motives?"

"Who the hell started this war? I'm completely baffled by this war."

"You're lying, you..."

Seeing that the bracelet hadn't changed color yet, Cao Zhen gave himself two more acupuncture needles to calm himself down, and then asked, "Let me elaborate. Can you honestly say that you have absolutely no connection to the commotion in Tianmu City?"

"I'm just here to respond to the lawsuit. What do I have to do with this place?"

"You... Day-roaming God, Night-roaming God, you're all biased towards him! Even the Heavenly Mother has become like this, and you're still biased towards him!"

Seeing that the bracelet had not changed color, Cao Zhen roared angrily.

But after he yelled, he realized he was in trouble.

Although the day-roaming gods and night-roaming gods are inconspicuous, they are still a type of star deity.

By insulting these two types of deities, one is also insulting the Star Lord.

Sure enough, the scales began to tilt. The original 3:7 scales now tilted to 3.5:6.5, giving Cao Zhen a headache.

Chen Yu, how did you do that!
Unless one's Dao heart is extremely firm, the magical artifacts provided by the Bracelet Star Lords cannot be hidden from the bracelets.

But he was certain that Chen Yu was lying, so there was only one possibility.

His resolve was so unwavering that he showed no weakness at this moment.

Chen Yu, you're amazing!

However, the more this is the case, the more worthwhile it is to defeat.

I have a lot of evidence against you, and I'm sure I can defeat you!

Pointing at Chen Yu, he demanded sharply, "Then how do you explain using fake contracts to lure others to work for you? Thousands of private soldiers all under contracts, earning five thousand yuan a month—do you really have any good intentions?"

“Five thousand yuan is nothing at Tianyuan. Our employees can earn up to eight hundred thousand yuan a month, but I recently fired him.”

"See? I knew you wouldn't be so kind!" Cao Zhen said excitedly. "Why fire him!"

“He worked overtime against the rules, so I fired him and gave him a month’s salary as compensation. He was told to come back after his leave.”

"You're kidding me!"

No one wanted to believe it, and the scales even tipped to 2:8, before tipping back to 5:5 after it was discovered that Chen Yu hadn't lied.

Looking at the scales and then at Chen Yu, Cao Zhen felt like he had heard the most unbelievable thing.

Eight hundred thousand?
Employee bonuses?

what does it mean!

The intense impact caused Cao Zhen's heart to stop for a moment, but Ma Yueru immediately came up and gave him an acupuncture injection to bring him back to his senses.

Clutching his chest, he glanced at the 5-5 score on the scales and said with a cold laugh, "Very well, Chen Yu, so you were prepared all along! You knew I would ask these questions, didn't you! As expected of the incarnation of the future Star Lord, you are indeed formidable."

This accusation proved somewhat useful.

The future Star Lord is renowned and powerful, and is also the mortal enemy of the past and present Star Lords.

Not wanting to antagonize the two star deities, the star deity slightly tilted the scales, bringing the balance to 4.5:5.5.

Sensing a glimmer of hope, Cao Zhen pointed at Chen Yu and said, "Moreover, I strongly suspect you're a demonic cultivator, absorbing the negative emotions of others to resurrect a future star lord. The evidence is the module 'The Mortal's Path,' released alongside your dream. This dream is extremely difficult, its content is incredibly sinister, and it's relentlessly manipulating people's minds. You two inspectors, you two temple keeper, please try out this module; you'll definitely see through this guy's true colors."

Looking at Cao Zhen, Chen Yu felt that this guy was doomed.

you know too much.
