Chapter 9

Author: Washing Wheat
"Aren't you all curious where Annabeth's money went? Could it be that she paid people off after killing someone to keep them quiet?"

"Oh damn… then that means…"

I clutched my throbbing head and looked at Yvette, my face drained of all color.

Those years of memories were unbearable to face. Even recalling them sent wave after wave of fear crashing down on me.

Almost instinctively, my body began to tremble, and I couldn't process a single word around me.

"Annabeth! Annabeth, are you okay? Annabeth, it's okay. I'm right here with you. No one's going to hurt you."

The physical pain, combined with those memories, finally broke me. I covered my face and sobbed uncontrollably, crying so hard that I nearly passed out.

As if that wasn't enough, Yvette pointed at the scars on her face and shouted, "Look, this is the warning Annabeth gave me! She exposed all of this on purpose so she could build a tragic image and make even more money later. This was all just another scam!"

"Enough!" Mica

    It was useless.The Supreme Court didn't operate on human sentiment. Once a verdict was reached, it couldn't be overturned."Hahaha! You pleaded guilty. Once you plead guilty, you have to die. You're no different from me!" Yvette laughed through her tears. Her face was twisted with excitement and madness. "You won't show mercy, so let's die together!"At that point, I became strangely calm. I sat beneath the golden light without saying a word and waited for death to arrive.Micah was forcibly pushed off the platform as the Supreme Court had reached its final stage and was about to announce the verdict.A cold, mechanical voice echoed through the hall, making everyone shudder."Landon Schmidt fabricated evidence, committed countless murders, and committed treason. The final verdict is… guilty. His soul will be erased. No matter how many lifetimes pass, he will never be reborn in this nation."Yvette Carter indirectly caused her mother's death. She extorted money, spread false acc

    That was how he left evidence behind. Following the remnants of Schmidt Group's files and the filthy underground labs, we finally uncovered his true motive. It was treason.For over a decade, he had been sending people overseas for experiments. Those who failed had their organs harvested and their bodies discarded like trash.For fame and profit, he conducted live experiments for years until he extracted a strange substance.He called it "Immortality".He targeted wealthy clients overseas—people obsessed with extending their lives—and sold it to them at exorbitant prices. That was how his reputation grew and how he amassed his fortune.By the time Micah and I uncovered the truth, he had already killed thousands. If not for the forgotten notebook in the basement, we would've remained clueless.The footage ended on the image that Micah and I had watched together through a hidden camera.Landon's face was flushed red, veins bulging from his temples. His expression was filled wi

    The murmurs from the audience were loud enough to reach my ears."Organ trafficking? Was Landon part of Schmidt Group? That case shocked the whole country back then!""That was how my kid died. Landon Schmidt deserves to die! How did he have the nerve to judge someone else?""Yvette killed her own mother… just for money."Then someone commented, "Wait. Let's not jump to conclusions. What if it was an accident?"That comment was immediately torn apart by the rest of the viewers."Are you serious? Who would dare fabricate evidence before the Supreme Court? This is the truth!""No wonder Annabeth refused to plead guilty. If it were me, I wouldn't either.""But did anyone notice Landon? If he could kill his own father, he's far more ruthless than we thought. He's even meticulous enough to wipe away his traces after sleeping. Do you really think he was just an accomplice?""That comment has to be close to the truth."Landon completely lost control. He screamed and struggled, slamm

    "Oh my God, that was terrifying! His true colors are showing!""Wait, she called him Landon. What on earth is going on?""Don't tell me he… got plastic surgery?""So there really is a twist. No wonder Annabeth was willing to die just to stand before the Supreme Court!""But hold on, her memories don't even line up with Landon's. Could she have faked it?""Are you kidding? The Supreme Court would've detected any forged memories. Don't underestimate its abilities!"I ignored the chaos in the comments. Instead, I glanced at the judge. Concern flickered in his eyes. I smiled faintly and motioned for the judgment to continue.The footage resumed, following my memories.It showed how I sought out Gianco Group, the only force capable of standing against Schmidt Group. After securing their partnership, I stole classified Schmidt Group files several times.Layer upon layer of documents filled the screen. They were years' worth of organ-trafficking records.Only after Schmidt Group c

    I shook my head and kicked Yvette away when she lunged at me again."If I'm going to be judged, then let's take it to the Supreme Court. They brought me here themselves. If they wanted a verdict, then they should've been prepared for how far this would go."Listen up, everyone. If I come out of this court alive, then every single person who's been cursing at me should brace themselves for the backlash! I mean it."There was an unwritten rule surrounding the Supreme Court. If someone survived it, every viewer who had insulted that person through the live stream would suffer ten times the backlash.No one had ever confirmed whether this was true, because no one had ever survived.However, I intended to be the first. Anyone who had insulted me would have to accept the consequences. After all, kind words led to kindness in return, and malice always came back around.I caught the flicker of guilt in Landon's and Yvette's eyes. Before the session even officially began, Landon was alr
