《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 385. Court Trials 2
Advertisement
As the trial proceeded, several people felt like they should've secretly snuck in popcorn or something to watch the whole show.
Damn!.... it was like watching a T.V series live!
"Mr. Ceres... a couple of days back, you had put out a statement that said that you all hadn't met anyone else while staying in here correct?"
"Yes" Ceres answered confidently.
For Ceres, what he looked at, was the overall situation..... and for him, outing Alec was definitely a No-No.
Amd when he compared Arcadina's strength with Baymard's.... he quickly came up with the conclusion that even if he outed Alec and had his years reduced, Alec would still send people to kill him or hunt him the moment he left Baymard upon his release.
So why would he do that?
Plus, since there was no way that these people would know that Alec had visited them previously... he was even more confident about his answer.
But of course... this decision was something that he would soon regret sometime in the future.
"Yes.... we had communicated with no one about our plans since we got here.
And no one had also cpaid us any visits while we stayed in our hotel rooms." Ceres assured confidently.
Alec who was looking at Ceres, subconsciously puffed out his chest and smirked.
It still felt good to know that he still had the power of intimidating people... because ever since he had gotten here, that power seemed to have magically disappeared, as these stupid Baymarfoam guards and workers didn't even do his bidding when he commanded them to.
'Smart boy!', he thought.
Lawyer Vincent who was representing Baymard, gently raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly as well.
"Alright... your honor, I would like to submit exhibit A, B and C to this honorary court!"

With that, Vincent moved forward and gave Judge Bowman 3 large see-through bags.
"Your honor..... the first bag contains a cut out piece of carpet, from Mr. CERES' room.
You see.... on that carpet piece, one could easily find 2 main distinctive footprints there.
One of them is a Baymard men's size 10.5..... and the other is a Baymard men's size 12.
Now... the issue here your honor.... is that when we cross checked the last shoe size with that of all 7 suspects..... we realized that it didn't belong to any of them.
And while others might think that it might have been the cleaners, these men had placed a 'Do not disturb' sign on their doors for a while now.... preventing any of the staff from going into their rooms.
And from the pressure exerted from the unknown visitor's shoes onto the carpet floor..... it was also assumed that the unknown visitor should be weighing about 197 pounds (slightly above the guy who acted superman back on earth.. Henry Cavill).
So judging from that weight and the evenly spread exerted on the carpet.... we suspect that our unknown visitor could be somewhere between 6 to 6.4 feet tall your honor.
So Mr. Ceres... didn't you say that no one had visited you all there?!
Wasn't it your partner who came up there and visited you all late at night when there was almost no one around the lobby?
Who was it? Who was your backer?
Answer this honorary court Mr. Ceres!!!!!"
"_"
Ceres felt like he was sweating buckets on the stand.
His heart was racing violent, as his mind became completely swept in disarray.
His hands began to tremble slightly from nervousness, the more lawyer Vincent spoke with pressure towards him.
As for the crowd, they were in complete awe at the show before them.

From guessing the height, to bringing out hair strands to even showing tiny pieces of ripped clothing items, and so on..... everything was just jaw-dropping to them all.
So one could actually 'catch a thief' like this?
Even Alec was astounded by how much they had gotten right about his appearance.
This place was really a dangerous place with too many intelligent people within it.
One needed to be extremely careful when dealing with them.
Eli, Connor and even William.... all looked at the scene in awe as well.
This.... this was a court trial?
They had so many questions in their minds.... as they truly wanted to know how these men had successfully given several correct assumptions about the matter.
Try unbelievable!!!
At least now, they all knew that even without seeing one's face.... these Baymardians could still find the culprit to any crime, if they were given enough time for the job.
Subconsciously, they had already made up their minds to send their own men to attend this so-called law Academy in the future.
The show continued, with everyone soon seating at the edge of their seats.
One by one, all the suspects were being called to the stand.
And the more Vincent spoke and brought out the evidence... the more the audience gasped out loud, when they remembered how these men had just lied previously.
Of course, they were also in awe of Allkster as well... as his effortless tactics in defending these suspects had also caught their eyes as well.
In short... both lawyers spoke and 'owned' the courtroom, immediately holding everyone's rapt attention.
It was really impossible not yo admire them, as their every angle and attention to detail.... was well presented for the judge, the jury and even the audience to take note of.5
For the audience, this was one of the most intense shows ever.... as sometimes, the suspects would rage out, burst out in anger, yell, scream and even bang their tables angrily.
Even the reporters who had sent their crewmen to write down the main highlights of the whole thing, even felt chills run down their spines the more the case proceeded.
Soon... everything ended with each of the men being sentenced 2 years in the maximum security prison, since they actually didn't kill anyone or manage to get into the lower region.
At this point, everything was just 'attempted'.
But for sure... these 2 years would definitely feel like 30 years for these men, with what Landon had arranged for them.
And from the looks of it, none of then had outed Alec for fear of his wrath too.
The court ended with everyone feeling pumped and very emotional over the whole thing.
What a show!!
Alec looked at hid men being taken away without any trace of pity on his face.
With this, he was done staying in Baymard for now.
It was time for him to go back home and plan his attack on this unfilial son of his.
"Let's go!" He said, to his sons and his men.
With the court session over, Landon and his family immediately left the room as well.
And as Landon moved... he soon got an alert from his own 'boss'.
'Ding!'
'Host.... the system has a new mission for the host!'

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to my first attempt at writing a novel. I am preparing to participate in the 2017 NaNoWriMo event so enjoy the first chapter as that's here early only to ensure that I have a place to post once the event starts. This means the first novel/book will have a target of 50,000 words. I'm excited to attempt this challenge despite the hurdles I will have to overcome. I do have a demanding full time job so planning time to write and make weekly releases starting in November will be my biggest challenge. Also, please accept my apologies on my cover. I'm not an artist and the only digital tool available at my disposal is the stock microsoft paint. So I did my best to create a decent cover as I did not want to steal the work of another. If there are those interested by the end of November in donating a new fan made cover then I will look into replacing the old cover.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.

It's a brand-new, canon compliant story about the characters so many of us grew up with and still love (even if we're embarrassed to admit it)! While primarily a faithful sequel to the original 90s anime series, the story also incorporates elements from the original manga, the Crystal reboot anime, and the live-action adaptation, as well as feedback from Sailor Moon SubReddit members. This is all combined with fixes to odd translations, the best aspects of the English/Japanese versions, and fun new ideas, to create what I hope will be a consistent and satisfying fan experience.
