Several days later.

The public opinion regarding this lawsuit continued to ferment.

A large number of reporters and onlookers rushed to the Star Ring City Civil Court a day in advance to watch.

The entire area was packed before the court session even began.

Star Ring City rarely dispatched some guards to maintain order, something that had never happened before in history.

Moreover, the officials of the Civil Court, in order to avoid being interviewed, did not use the main entrance these past few days, keeping a low profile.

At the same time, the Star Ring City Civil Court suspended other civil dispute cases.

......

At this time, on the top floor of the Federation Building, Su Mo and Arles were drinking coffee and exchanging information.

"I've inquired, and the plaintiff in the civil lawsuit against you is, as expected, Kairas, the commander of the Gidola Planetary Fortress. Judging from the administrative level, the chief judge of the Civil Court is not even worthy of Commander Kairas's attention. So, tomorrow's lawsuit will be exceptionally difficult. Be prepared to be harassed."

Su Mo pondered for a moment and said to Arles, "I understand."

"But don't worry too much. I've already had the best lawyers in the Federation prepared."

Arles didn't want Su Mo to have too much pressure. Of course, there were some things he didn't tell Su Mo. He had originally planned to find some powerful and well-known lawyers in Star Ring City. But as soon as they heard that they had to fight a lawsuit with Commander Kairas, every lawyer in Star Ring City ran faster than rabbits, and no one was willing to take the job.

Therefore, Arles had no choice but to let the country's legal team take action. On the surface, the country's legal team was excellent, but in reality, they were at a disadvantage in lawsuits. After all, the laws to be fought were those of Star Ring City, and local lawyers definitely had an advantage.

"Ahem, Council Speaker Arles, thank you very much. Just do your best. I will also start preparing. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Su Mo thought for a while and replied with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Arles was a little surprised, and he looked at Su Mo, "You have preparations on your side too?"

"Actually, it's just that Miss Ge Yi from the Mist Country insisted on helping. It was a bit hard to refuse."

"That's a good thing. In this situation, more people means more strength. Let's not talk about these things. I came to you today just to tell you that no matter what the outcome of the trial is, you must remain calm! You have the Federation behind you, so don't worry too much, and don't do anything impulsive."

Arles didn't dwell too much on this issue, but reminded Su Mo cautiously.

"I understand. No matter what the result is, I will accept it calmly."

Of course, Su Mo understood Arles's words, and he nodded in response.

......

The next morning.

The Civil Court, located in the third ring of Star Ring City, was surrounded by a dense crowd, layer upon layer.

Countless reporters and streamers were frantically squeezing inside.

"Let me through, let me in."

"Why should I? I want to get in too."

"I'm here to cheer him on."

"Haha, brother, don't pretend. We're all here to蹭热度 (ceng re du, leech off the hype)."

......

Due to the crazy publicity, and the fact that it was the first time in history that an individual was suing Star Ring City, and the matter involved was very big, it almost caused nationwide attention.

Whoever could shoot first-hand video would gain massive traffic.

However, because Star Ring City prohibits airspace, basically any aerial photography device was not feasible.

Therefore, they could only rely on manpower to squeeze in.

At this moment, elite soldiers of the Federation walked over in groups to clear the way.

"Please make way, please make way!"

Soon, a path was cleared through the crowded crowd.

Su Mo and Council Speaker Arles and others walked over together.

"The defendant is here!"

A sharp-eyed person shouted.

Suddenly, the crowd became even more chaotic, and reporters frantically thrust microphones forward.

Su Mo's mouth twitched non-stop. He never thought that one day he would become a celebrity in this way.

It really fulfilled the saying, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news spreads far and wide.

At this time, Arles whispered to Su Mo, "Do not answer any questions. Just go straight in."

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Before long, Su Mo and others ignored the swarming crowd and successfully entered the Civil Court.

An official specifically assigned to guide them walked up to them, asking with a somewhat stiff expression.

"You're Su Mo, right?"

"Yes."

Su Mo quickly identified himself.

"Please come with me."

The official led Su Mo and the others to Courtroom No. 1.

A dozen minutes later, they entered Courtroom No. 1.

This courtroom was a bit like a lecture hall in a university, but there were also differences. It was a symmetrical type of two lecture halls.

Behind the prosecution and defense benches, a large number of supporters could be seated.

Since Su Mo and the others arrived early, the opposite side was still empty, and even the presiding judge had not yet arrived.

"It's still early. Let's sit for a while."

Su Mo said to Qian Chengxue and the others.

Qian Chengxue nodded slightly, and they found seats and sat down.

At this time, Sun Duo Xiang said nervously, "Boss, how much money do you think those people will make you pay?"

"How would I know? The summons didn't state the specific amount. Probably a lot."

Su Mo was also a little nervous.

"Boss, if you can't pay, will you go back in?"

"Can you wish me something good?"

Su Mo wanted to kick Sun Duo Xiang.

Just then, the courtroom door opened again, and Su Mo and the others quickly looked over.

As a result, the people who came in also froze slightly. Heath of the Gomotos Empire actually walked in with people, and other high-level officials of the empire stood beside him.

Of course, they didn't come up to greet Su Mo, but found a corner seat and sat down, looking like they were here to listen.

"Damn, what are those imperial dogs doing here? Watching the fun?"

Sun Duo Xiang couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"Alright, if they want to listen, let them listen. That's their freedom."

Su Mo replied indifferently.

"It's not that, Boss, it's okay for Heath, at least he doesn't have too many changes in his expression. Look at those lackeys beside him, each with a gloating expression. It makes me angry."

"Alright, don't mind them."

Su Mo didn't have the mind to waste on them now.

In the corner, a young man from the Demun Empire grinned and said.

"That Su Mo is dead this time. Don't think he's escaped the death penalty. If he loses this lawsuit, the compensation will be enough to kill him."

"That's right. Let him be so arrogant and rampant!"

......

"Shut up!"

Heath suddenly turned his head to look at the others from the surrounding empires, warning them with a serious expression.

The people from the various empires present were also stunned, and said with some fear.

"Your Highness Heath, what's wrong with you? Did we say something wrong? That guy is from the Federation, and he killed Duke Austin."
