Chapter 555: Court Trial
Chapter 555: Court Trial
Both of them are in a deadlock.
These four orphans are also Nagas, but their scale colors are completely different from the purple shades this nation has.
They are some bastard sons of the foreigners abandoned on this land. Yodha felt like they are the best for his job after hearing Sam’s specifications, now they come in handy.
Even though the Golden Blaze family head is a Consummate realm expert, the four of them are not even flinching at his presence and they are extremely laid back.
This made the family head frown and feel frustrated. The Mirage city forge and shipbuilding company are both important assets of the family, he couldn’t just let it go.
When he released his pressure and wanted to frighten them, the four of them endured the pressure all the same and puked blood immediately. After that, they just stood up and walked away.
The family head felt weird. He didn’t know what they meant by leaving like this. But when they are at the door one of them said to him.
“We won’t ask you for money anymore.”
With that, they left the place and the family head heard that they even left the city.
The family head felt like he escaped and felt like they succumbed to the pressure due to their absence in the city and went to inspect the two factories before his return journey to the imperial city.
By the time he was back in the city along with his son, it is already the fifteenth day since the debt.
As soon as he entered the house and wanted to look for one of his wives, his attendant came running and presented a red silk scroll. He immediately had a bad feeling about this.
The red silk scroll means it is a summon from the imperial court and he also remembered that this day is the fifteenth day.
And the call was not just for him, but also for his son.
He knew that he fucked up immediately. He took his son and went to the imperial court and there the emperor is waiting for him along with all the court officials and the four youngsters he saw and the city management officer of the industries of the Mirage city were also there.
He felt cold sweat. He knew that he messed up big time now.
The court official read the whole trial once again. It started with the four orphans ordering the first batch of products and then coming again for the second batch of products with an advance down payment.
After that, he read about the failure of production and the youngsters demanding their money back and when they had enough of the excuses of Gnyan, they asked for high interest in hopes that he would pay immediately. But not only did Gnyan pay immediately he mysteriously disappeared from the city and came back with his father thirteen days later.
The debt then grew up to five billion six hundred and eighty million approximately, but the four youngsters are generous enough to not consider the payment for the thirteen days and offered to take only the twelve days’ amount.
But not only did they not take the offer, but they also threatened with superior cultivation. The four youngsters came here to seek justice.
When the emperor saw Gnyan and his father, he had a hunch on why they are here.
“What do you say, Bran? Is everything regarding the case a truth?” Emperor asked the family head and the family head wanted to refuse till the end. After all, he is the local guy and he felt that the emperor would support him.
But he doesn’t know that his son’s activities and even trapping the princess, it is already great luck that the emperor has not found him to settle the scores.
“Your Grace, I didn’t threaten him, all I wanted was to see who is scheming against my family, they just left in the middle of the negotiations. Don’t you see that something is fishy regarding this? I highly doubt that they even have any noble identity they proclaimed themselves to have.”
Emperor frowned and said.
“Regardless of what identities they might have, answer me some questions. Did they or did they not give your forge a large order and even pay half the amount in advance?”
“Yes, your grace.”
“Did they or did they not give you a second order and even pay half of the amount in advance?”
“Yes, your grace.”
“Do you have any doubt or any reason to suspect that they are involved in the ruining of the products in your forge?”
“No your grace.”
“After they found out that your products are ruined, did they ask for the payment or not?”
“They did, Your Grace.”
“Did your son, reject paying immediately and asked for a time and agreed to pay an interest of twenty-five percent per day?”
“Yes, your grace.”
“Did you or did you not talk to them and even used their aura to cause injuries?”
“That..”
“Yes or No.”
“Yes, Your grace.”
“If you have not threatened them, I would have helped you place a good word, but your behavior is disappointing. The current debt is 8 billion and the eight hundred and ninety million approximately, but after considering the total assets of the family and the heavy burden they will have to endure due to the financial strain, we are reducing the debt to six billion.
I hope the plaintiff will agree with the judgment as the amount is still far more than the initial debt they owed.”
“But Your grace, our family cannot bear that much burden. Six billion is too large an amount.”
At this moment, One spoke.
“Your Grace, we thank you for your great judgment but considering that the rest of the hundreds of family members’ situation that shouldn’t be influenced by a single man’s arrogance and inflated ego, we would like to take the two forges and the office of the Golden Blaze family in place of the debt.
Even though it will not amount to a little more than two billion, we would still take it and we can erase the rest of the debt.
That is if your grace agrees.”
The emperor looked at the four of them and then looked at the family head.
“Bran, they already took a lot of steps back, what do you say?”
Bran is now relieved. Even though, the forges will go away, at least it is better than losing assets worth six billion. His family would have to cut on the resources of the entire family forces and the rest of the families will slowly devour their businesses and assets.
At least, now their losses are not that severe.
“I accept this offer, your Majesty. And I thank the young master for that generous offer.”
Immediately one of the court officials drafted an agreement and the two factories are now named under the Dusk organization.
All of them came out of the palace, but at the palace gates, a figure in black is standing.
Sam is waiting for them to come.
The four youngsters saluted him and gave the title deed to Sam.
When Bran and Gnyan looked at Sam, they are extremely dumbfounded.
Particularly Gnyan. He has an extremely ugly face and when Sam made eye contact with him, he couldn’t control his outburst.
“You. It is all because of you. You colluded with that scoundrel Rana and schemed against me.”
He came running and was about to grab Sam by his collar. But before he knew it, he hit something hard and he was sent flying. He crashed into the floor and rolled over and when he came to his senses he saw his father looking at him with a frown from the top and in the next second and he fainted.
“You better keep your hands where they belong. One more time and I will cut them up and shove them up to your ass and I mean completely literally.”
Bran looked at Sam and asked.
“Why are they giving the title deed to you?”
“Oh, I am the owner of the Dusk organization. Which means, they work for me. They placed the orders in my place and they did withdraw the orders and demanded a refund in my stead. They asked the factories in my stead and they are now giving back the factories to me.”
“Did you set this up?” Bran asked coldly.
“Set this up? Isn’t your son great at setting up? Using the borrowed knives and blades. Using a woman to do his bidding. Go and ask him why this is happening. Ask him directly if he messed with someone named Sam because he couldn’t keep his hands and brain in check.
Ask him exactly what he did and you will understand why this happened and please leave him a message for me.
‘No one can steal what is mine. If you don’t believe it by now, just give another try and see what he would lose this time.'”
With those words, he left with his subordinates.
