Three pharmaceutical conglomerates in the Beautiful Country declared bankruptcy liquidation, citing stock price collapse and insolvency, and began auctioning off their various assets.
Most of the funds of the three pharmaceutical conglomerates had long been withdrawn. They quickly registered over a thousand shell companies, preparing to purchase the high-quality assets within at a low price, to escape their obligations while clearing bad debts.
The idea was good, but unfortunately, their minor maneuver had already been clearly seen by Jing Mingqiu through the internet. He had informed the top leadership of the Dragon Country about it in advance.
Upon receiving this news, the top leader did not choose to monopolize it. Instead, he quietly disseminated the information to large financial groups in countries such as the Cherry Blossom Country, the German-Italian Country, and the British Commonwealth.
Jing Mingqiu was a bit confused by the top leader's decision and asked, "Why tell the Beautiful Country's allies? Aren't you afraid they'll leak it?"
The top leader smiled and replied, "The three pharmaceutical conglomerates of the Beautiful Country are well-funded. This large a pie, the Dragon Country cannot possibly digest alone, nor will the Beautiful Country allow us to take it all."
"It's better to bring in other countries together to thoroughly divide these three pharmaceutical conglomerates. You don't need to worry about them leaking it; Western countries have never been a monolithic bloc. In the face of such enormous interests, they would be more than happy to stab their so-called allies in the back."
Just as the top leader said, upon learning that the three pharmaceutical conglomerates of the Beautiful Country were preparing to escape their obligations through bankruptcy liquidation, those Western countries, without informing their Dragon Country counterparts of their intentions, quietly raised a large sum of capital, preparing to seize a substantial profit.
Bayer, Pfizer, and Tepco, the three pharmaceutical conglomerates, although they had anticipated the Dragon Country's actions, did not expect to face so many opponents, and were thrown into chaos.
While a chaotic scene unfolded outside the courthouse, inside, the trials against Alec Ulysses, Hudson Allen, and others were nearing their end.
The chief judge put on his reading glasses and, frowning, read out the final verdict.
"Alec Ulysses, Hudson Allen, and seven others, for the sake of profit, disregarded human rights and conducted live experiments. Their crimes are heinous. According to the Beautiful Country's criminal law, the sentences are as follows."
"Alec Ulysses is sentenced to fifteen hundred years of imprisonment. Hudson Allen is sentenced to three thousand four hundred years of imprisonment..."
Finally, the chief judge closed the verdict and stated solemnly,
"If the defendants have any objections to the verdict, they may appeal within three days!"
"No objections, no objections!" Hudson Allen tried to put on a remorseful demeanor, "I am a heinous sinner, and I will repent in prison!"
"Me too, I am very sorry this happened..."
The others also expressed their affirmation of the verdict. Just as the trial was about to conclude, Jing Mingqiu stood up and said loudly,
"I disagree!"
"Alas!" everyone was stunned. The chief judge cautiously said, "Professor Jing, the Supreme Leader has withdrawn the lawsuit and apologized. You are no longer the defendant."
Jing Mingqiu strode to the platform, looking down at everyone, "I know, but I am very dissatisfied with the verdict for these seven fellows!"
"As the saying goes, a life for a life, a debt for a debt! These seven have blood on their hands, and countless people have died because of them. A life sentence is simply too lenient for them."
A juror carefully corrected, "It's not a life sentence, it's a fixed-term imprisonment. After they serve their sentences, they can still come out..."
"Heh heh," Jing Mingqiu sneered, interrupting the juror, "What's the difference between a fixed-term imprisonment of a thousand years and a life sentence? Do they expect to live for a thousand years and see the day they are released?"
The juror, unwilling to concede, retorted loudly, "Professor Jing, we have judged according to the law..."
"Law? Whose law! I do not recognize this law!" Jing Mingqiu reprimanded sternly, interrupting again, "Don't think I don't know your little tricks. With their power, being imprisoned is just changing their place to enjoy life!"
Looking at Jing Mingqiu speaking passionately on the stage, the chief judge recalled the fate of the court guards earlier. He dared not speak out of anger, and could only cautiously inquire, "Then Professor Jing, how do you think they should be sentenced?"
Jing Mingqiu did not hesitate, he waved his hand decisively, "Death penalty, executed immediately!"
"This, isn't this a bit too harsh!" the chief judge tentatively asked, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. They have already shown remorse, and God will forgive these lost sheep..."
Hearing the chief judge invoke God, Jing Mingqiu recalled the atrocities committed by Western expeditionary forces in history under the guise of God. The killing intent in his eyes grew stronger, "It is God's business to forgive them, I am only responsible for sending them to God!"
After speaking, Jing Mingqiu ignored the chief judge and scanned the crowd below with a cold gaze.
"Now, in the name of humanity, I sentence these seven anti-human fellows to death, executed immediately!"
"Who seconds? Who opposes?"
"I object! They just accidentally went down the wrong path, they should be given another chance..."
As a Western 'saint' stood up, Jing Mingqiu flipped his wrist, retrieved a flying knife from his system space, and flung it. With the immense strength endowed by his mecha, it pierced directly through his abdomen, penetrated the floor, and pinned him to the ground.
Jing Mingqiu looked at the 'saint' with a half-smile, tossing another flying knife in his hand.
"I repent! I also accidentally went down the wrong path. Are you willing to give me another chance? This time my hand should not be crooked!"
Feeling Jing Mingqiu's bone-chilling killing intent, the Western 'saint' twitched his lips, and finally dared not say anything, tilting his head and pretending to faint.
Jing Mingqiu did not expose him, but closed his eyes slightly, his icy gaze sweeping over the crowd again. Jing Mingqiu was no longer the ordinary youth who had just obtained the system. He had cleaned out the Beautiful Country's research base in Afghanistan, his hands already stained with blood. He could be called a butcher.
Everyone dared not meet Jing Mingqiu's gaze and lowered their heads.
"Since no one opposes, today, I will act on behalf of heaven and administer justice!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After seven gunshots, Alec Ulysses, Hudson Allen, and the others had blood holes in their foreheads, their brains directly turned into pulp.
To be safe, Jing Mingqiu fired another shot into their chests, to prevent any possibility of them coming back to life.
Although many had seen it on screens, this was the first time many saw someone die before their eyes. Sensing the thick smell of blood, they immediately screamed. Some climbed out of their seats, shouting "Murderer!" as they ran outside.
Seeing that a stampede was imminent, Jing Mingqiu fired again.
Over a hundred high-intensity tranquilizer darts shot out, instantly incapacitating all those who were screaming and running wildly.
Immediately after, Jing Mingqiu activated the amplification equipment, and a deafening sound echoed in everyone's ears.
"Everyone stay in place and don't move. Anyone who runs around and shouts will suffer the same fate!"
After shouting once in Chinese, Jing Mingqiu shouted again in English.
Looking at the 'bodies' lying all over the floor, everyone dared not move and obediently crouched down like quails.
"Don't worry, they're just unconscious, not dead!" Jing Mingqiu explained briefly, then looked at the messy Cliffside Military Court and felt that what he had done today was a little excessive.
To avoid trouble, Jing Mingqiu prepared to slip away.
But before leaving, he decided to put on one last show. He contacted the system, bought a copy of the "Dragon Country Criminal Law" from the mall, and forcefully shoved it into the chief judge's arms.
"This time, the Beautiful Country's three major pharmaceutical conglomerates conducted large-scale human experiments. Besides the seven main culprits, there were many accomplices. I have dealt with all the accomplices in Afghanistan, and for those within the Beautiful Country, you will strictly follow what is written in this book."
"Execute those who should be executed, imprison those who should be imprisoned! If I find you engaging in favoritism or corruption, I will send you down to accompany him!"
After saying that, Jing Mingqiu waved to Morui Xue and Jing Rou. The three activated their mechas, broke through the ceiling, and sped away.
More than two hours later, Jing Mingqiu returned to the Dragon Country. As soon as he disembarked, he was escorted to the office of the top leader.
Pushing the door open, he saw the top leader with a distressed face and a furrowed brow. Jing Mingqiu scratched his head awkwardly, "Boss, did I make too much of a scene at the Cliffside Military Court!"
The top leader slowly shook his head, "No, you did very well! What I'm worried about is something else..."
