Uproar broke out in the courtroom as those angry nobles started standing up and hurling words at the defendant. Most women also chattered loudly as they discussed how arrogant this demon king had become. Right now, he was mortal and had a broken core. Yet, he had the audacity to turn his nose up at the Court of Heaven like he could crush them. Prince Sky was visibly displeased even though he would agree that the Court had little to no evidence that Emodao was the one behind all of this.
It was as if they were only desperate for someone to take the blame.
Lai Mingjie didn't care about the crowd. He stared condescendingly at the lead prosecutor who was glaring back at him. The other members of the Court called for order, but mostly everyone ignored them. The Chancellor then leaned against his seat and huffed loudly, silencing the rowdy crowd. His eyes laid on Lai Mingjie as if he wanted to burn him through his gaze.
