Ms. Talia is a stern Alpha.

As a top student who graduated from Baishaxing National University, she was promoted to the position of Deputy Director of the General Affairs Bureau at a young age, becoming the right-hand man of Executive Minister Jinhe, in charge of the Ministry of Trade.

She is very satisfied with this job and therefore takes it very seriously.

Today, she also attended the trial of her subordinate, Minister of Trade Lucas, with a serious attitude.

As the saying goes, if subordinates are not taught, it is the fault of their superiors.

She also listened to the teachings of the lord and Jinhe with a self-critical attitude.

So she observed everyone very carefully and listened to every step of the trial.

But this trial seems a bit weird.

There was nothing wrong with the initial presentation of the case.

Young Lord Pei Ji accused Lucas of losing his ore worth hundreds of millions due to dereliction of duty. The accusation was well-founded and he even provided video footage of how the ore was obtained.

Oh my god... He wandered around the asteroid belt for twelve whole days before he found this stone.

What a love this is.

Talia felt heartbroken for him and regretted the loss of the ore, and had already judged Lucas guilty in her heart.

However, the trial took a strange turn when the prosecution witnesses came on stage.

The deputy minister of the Minerals Department, Xingyao, seemed distracted for some reason.

It’s not that I’m nervous, it’s just that… I seem a little absent-minded.

He made three grammatical errors in one sentence and was about to be unable to continue. Minister Jin Yi of the Minerals Department took over and the trial was able to continue.

While speaking, Xingyao kept stealing glances at Jinyi. Her eyes looked very unhealthy, and her expression was also... very unhealthy.

Although there was no direct look back, Jin Yi responded to every question left by Xingyao, and even did the part of value assessment which was not his job.

For a moment, Talia felt that she was not in the courtroom, but on the set of an idol drama, the kind where there was a mutual crush.

But she gained new information from this love drama.

——This symbiotic stone worth hundreds of millions was actually the wedding gift from Young Lord Pei Ji to his wife.

What a love this is.

She looked towards the plaintiff's desk.

Pei Ji had a sullen face, and the distance between him and his wife was so wide that a desert worm could fit through it. He wished he could sit at the two ends of the courtroom.

Really?

Wedding gift.

Was it really not made up to add evidence to Lucas's guilt?

There was also a quarrel on Starnet.

Talia brushed it up during the break.

One third of the people were accusing Pei Ji of not loving his Omega, one third were accusing him of shamelessly fabricating wedding gifts, and another third were feeling sorry for Chen Que.

As the other protagonist at the center of the topic, the former first commander Shen Que sat in his seat with aloofness throughout the whole process.

Apart from saying two sentences when making the accusation, he spent the rest of the time... in a daze.

Talia confirmed that she was not mistaken. Although the commander looked indifferent and unconcerned with the world, he was definitely deserting his post.

There are many small expressions that prove this.

For example, the corners of his mouth would suddenly rise a few pixels, and then quickly move down. If Talia hadn't looked carefully enough, she would never have noticed.

For example, he would look out the window from time to time, as if he was anxious to end the trial.

When he mentioned the lost symbiotic stone, his brows furrowed, his fingers on his knees rubbed slowly, and... he looked at Pei Ji.

I looked at it several times.

Talia suddenly felt that the scene had turned into an idol drama again, this time it was the kind of underground love affair.

The same strange thing happened to Austin, the minority shareholder of the Tree of Life who was sitting next to her. He stared at Shen Que with unusual enthusiasm for some reason.

This is very rude, after all, the other party is a married Omega.

However, these are not the weirdest things.

The strangest part was the second half of the trial.

With sufficient evidence, it was soon Lucas' turn to refute.

The Beta minister tearfully played the victim, saying that he had worked diligently in the Ministry of Trade for so many years, and even if he had no merits, he had worked hard, and that his entire career should not be negated because of a single signing mistake.

Talia frowned when she heard this.

I didn’t expect that Lucas, despite having a small lung capacity, could blow so well.

Seeing him crying and talking about how difficult it was for his parents to raise him with their meager salary and how hard it was to work day and night - Talia didn't understand the hardship of watching Blue Star's gambling games in the office every day.

Some jury members showed regretful expressions. Perhaps Shen Que, as an Omega, would also soften his heart...

…Well, he was still in a daze.

Lucas's gaze circled between Pei Ji and Shen Que, who were far away, with a shrewd and cunning light in his eyes.

"Madam Young Lord, are you really going to cut off the livelihood of us, the lower-class citizens, for a piece of ore?"

"This ore may be very valuable to you and me, but to the Young Lord's wealth, it is but a grain of sand in the desert, a drop of water in the ocean. Do you want to ask the Young Lord's opinion..."

Pei Ji spoke.

"What do I mean?"

He scoffed, his voice a little hoarse for some reason.

But even though his voice was hoarse, the moment he spoke, everyone felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

"Do you think you can still stand in front of my wife and force me with what I mean?"

"All the words I've said to him today aren't as many as the one you just said."

"In my opinion, your mouth should be sewn shut, your eyes should be blinded, a finger should be broken for every extra glance, and a tooth should be pulled out for every extra word you utter."

Lucas's breath hitched.
