After speaking for a while, the plaintiff's lawyer spoke up:

"What explanation do you have for the losses that Locke Technology has caused to the government this time?"

Even if Nolan Locke realizes his mistake and tries to atone, he cannot change the outcome. The damage done to the department is immeasurable!

Upon hearing this, Matt stood up; this time, he was prepared.

But just then, Nolan pressed down on his shoulder.

He didn't look at the lawyer, but looked directly at the presiding judge.

“S.H.I.E.L.D. matters have never been about redeeming oneself, and I hope you understand that.”

Nolan then looked at the jury behind him.

"As everyone knows, I was missing for half a year. The reason for my disappearance was that an invasion from extraterrestrial life affected the Earth. I did not stand idly by, but chose to save the world."

However, after I returned, Locke Technology, which I had originally owned, had become someone else's property.

Even though they produced some so-called evidence, I don't understand what kind of evidence could allow them to take away my company without my presence.

Nolan's voice gradually rose in pitch.

His eyes and his tone were filled with uncontrollable rage.

There is no such law!

I can only guess that it's about power!

It was your fear of me, your fear of the hero Nolan, that ultimately led you to your actions.

You think that since I'm the hero Nolan, I'll endure my anger and suppress my rage because I'm a good person!

Good people are born to do this!

"But!"

Nolan's voice was thunderous.

His gaze was so sharp that the presiding judge couldn't help but look away; he was terrified.

Good people shouldn't act like this!

I save the world to make it a better place, not to suffer injustice!

I have done everything I can to change the world. The Big White robot is sold at almost cost price, as are the NS series of intelligent robots. Countless people are happy because of these two types of robots.

I have a clear conscience!

The jury members behind Nolan were also shocked by his words.

Indeed, Nolan has never been worthy of the title of hero.

These jurors are ordinary people from all walks of life; they are not considering politics.

They couldn't understand why Nolan, who had done so much to be a hero, would be standing in the dock for such a ridiculous reason.

The noise at the scene gradually grew louder.

"Quiet, quiet!"

The presiding judge struck the gavel.

But it's no use.

The jury members were already enraged.

Many judges were starting to panic, wondering if something bad would happen.

Just then, Nolan gestured for him to stop.

The entire courtroom fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

"But even so, I'm still here because I want an answer."

As he spoke, Nolan looked at the presiding judge and calmly asked:

"Your Honor, now please answer why I am standing in the dock, and why Lockheed Martin has fallen into the hands of others."

Without a valid reason, I have to wonder if the person who handed down such a sentence has any connection with those terrorists.

Or?

This is just normal practice; in reality, the entire court system has problems?

Because I am Nolan Locke, I can stand here and appeal, but how many people in places we don't know are unable to appeal?

Nolan's questions were like thunderclaps.

The judges were all pale-faced.

Big trouble!

Chapter 137 Loki, the Matchmaker

Nolan Locke is not someone to be fooled.

No one will forget that when Nolan Locke was brought to trial, he nearly caused an uproar with his formidable reputation.

At the time, protests broke out all over the country because of this incident, and some extremists even stormed government departments.

In the end, the matter only came to a close because Nolan Rock spoke out, which gradually calmed things down.

And now they seem to have angered the lion once again.

Nolan Locke asked only two questions, but they couldn't answer either of them.

The reason Nolan Locke would be standing here boils down to one thing: the fear that various forces have of Locke Technology and Nolan Locke himself.

You could even say this is just a simple political game.

They have already played this game countless times in the past, and no one will overturn the table because of it. At most, they will give up some benefits in the constant entanglement.

But it's clear that Nolan Locke had no such intention.

He flipped the table.

For a moment, the entire courtroom fell silent, with only Nolan glaring angrily at the judges on the platform.

Although Nolan appeared angry, he remained calm throughout.

Those judges knew it was just a matter of interests; how could he not be aware of that?

But why should he cooperate?

Tony Stark needs to cooperate because there are a large number of shareholders around him, waiting for him to make a big enough mistake.

Osborn Technologies was no match either; Norman Osborn's position within Osborn Industries was not even as high as Tony Stark's position within Stark Industries.

This is why they keep compromising.

Nolan is different!

He owns all the shares in Locke Technology and enjoys unparalleled prestige among the public.

If he still needs to make concessions in this disgusting power struggle, then why bother doing all this?

If someone tries to attack, cut them down; if someone causes trouble, chop them up!

He is no longer the lonely boy he once was, surrounded by wolves and lurking with countless villains.

He was fearless, which is why he dared to stand here and speak like this.

The official decision is not made by one person; even within the White House, there are countless voices.

If you want to fight, then let's try and see what it means to fight to the death!

This isn't blind faith, but rather a sign of his confidence.

Nobody dares to gamble!

He is the hero Nolan, possessing unparalleled power and prestige, and all of this is the source of his confidence.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, the presiding judge finally spoke:

"Mr. Locke, no one will let the matter you raised go easily, but the investigation is still ongoing."

Neither the judicial system nor the White House will let this matter end here. You will get a satisfactory answer.

After saying just a few words, the presiding judge was already sweating profusely and slumped down.

His political career is over!

Prior to this, no one intended to hold those people accountable.

But he knew that if he didn't do this, the matter would never be resolved.

Now, he has to bear the wrath of the higher-ups.

Hearing this, the coldness on Nolan's face did not disappear.

"Such a simple sentence, can it really offset the money and reputation that Locke Technology has lost because of these actions?"

The presiding judge glanced at Nolan and said directly:

"If this matter is confirmed to be a government problem, we will not let any entrepreneur feel disheartened."

This time he spoke frankly: since his career was over, he had nothing to fear now.

Nolan nodded.

Although it was just a verbal promise, the moment those words were uttered, people all over the world would be watching it.

It seems he will not only make a profit from S.H.I.E.L.D., but the authorities will also compensate him with a considerable sum.

So, Hydra actually did him a good thing.

The first phase potential of Lockheed Martin's various products has now been exhausted.

If we want to develop further, we can only expand globally, but this process will inevitably be slow.

But now, Hydra has directly helped him complete the initial accumulation of capital.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Nolan turned and left, completely ignoring the judges with their varied expressions.
