Oakland checked Owen's body, and found that his health was much better than before. Now Owen practiced all day long, and even the gene therapy was cancelled. Victor and Tommy, who were in charge of the Legion Medical Center, were puzzled. They went to see General Williams several times and asked him not to give up Owen's treatment, which made the general laugh and cry.
In two days, Arnold Percy's illegal possession charge will be publicly tried in the Capital Star Court, so Oakland and Hall simply took this opportunity to stay at home for two more days.
Chris, however, found it difficult to care for this overly active little Joey. He couldn't understand why Joey, who was usually so well-behaved around Oakland, doing nothing but eating and sleeping, had become such a troublemaker when he was with him. Not only did he demand meat and feasts every day, but he also sharpened his claws on his furniture, leaving his dorm room completely unrecognizable.
"Boss, if you don't come back, my dormitory will be demolished!" Chris sent a video call to Hall with a sad face.
Auckland couldn't help laughing as he looked at Chris's dormitory which was completely destroyed in the picture. The little fur ball's fighting ability was still amazing.
"Chris, hold on a little longer. We'll go back as soon as we're done here."
"Okay..." After his sister-in-law spoke, Chris had no choice but to endure it.
On the day of the trial, the court was filled with reporters, but Arnold Passy was not present. His other son Daniel Passy and an attorney attended the trial on his behalf.
In court, Auckland saw the legendary "Ancient Magic Rune Fragments" for the first time. It was indeed a book containing rune-related content recorded in ancient Chinese characters. Those fourteen pages that took experts and scholars a whole month of sleepless research to decipher seemed like a piece of cake to Auckland. He took a casual glance at it and was able to recite the contents fluently. It was already very obvious who the real owner of the book was.
Ultimately, the court ruled that the book belonged to Oakland, and that the Percy family could no longer profit from using Oakland's family heritage to make products. Daniel, without making any effective defense, cooperated and returned the book to Oakland. He also accepted the court's fine of two million federal dollars—not a lot, but not a small amount either.
The people of the Persi family were really cooperative, to the point that it felt a little strange. However, Auckland released his spiritual sense to feel around and found that there was no ambush around, and there was nothing wrong with the tattered book. Everything was going smoothly.
Arnold Percy was completely humiliated this time. I heard that he did not show up because he was under a thorough investigation by the military. Edmund had previously made it clear in the video that he was instructed by General Arnold to murder Auckland. Based on this, the military began to investigate him. The investigation was conducted by the First Army Group, which was directly under the head of state, and fairness and justice could be guaranteed.
Regardless of the final outcome of the investigation, Arnold Percy had completely lost his eligibility to run for president, and the people almost unanimously supported Carter Williams.
When Oakland and Hall walked out of the court, reporters swarmed over them, pointing their cameras at them for interviews.
“How do you feel after winning the case?”
“It’s much easier.”
"Is it true that you have already made a storage ring?"
"It's true."
Although they already knew the answer, everyone was still shocked when they received a positive answer. Spatial storage technology had been a difficult problem for researchers for years, with little progress until the Parsi family unveiled their mecha storage box, which shocked the entire federation. However, Auckland had surpassed them.
"Excuse me, how big is the storage ring?"
"About three cubic meters."
The space wasn't huge, barely enough to fit a mech and some small miscellaneous items. It was only slightly larger than the mech storage box the Persi family had brought out, but it was more than enough for everyone. The storage ring was much more beautiful and lightweight than the mech storage box the Persi family had brought out. No need to compare; anyone with a discerning eye could tell which was better.
"When will the public sale be available?" This is arguably the question that everyone is most concerned about.
Oakland and Hall looked at each other and said, "Due to the long production time, I'm afraid it won't be available for public sale in the near future."
Although everyone felt regretful, they also understood. After all, Auckland was the only one who could make this storage ring, and it was impossible to mass-produce it. It would probably take a long time before it could be sold publicly.
The camera kept giving close-ups of Hall's hands, showing the storage ring to everyone.
Feeling that the interview was almost over, Hall escorted Oakland out of the courtroom and returned home in a car.
********
Watching the interview video on the computer, Arnold Passy overturned the table in anger.
All efforts failed at the last moment!
Why can't Auckland die?!
Trash! Edmund Campbell, a useless piece of shit who can't do anything right! If he'd known he was so useless, he would have sent his own henchmen to do it. Even if there were a chance of leaving clues that could be traced back to him, it would be better than just spilling everything like Edmund did and getting recorded!
Fortunately, apart from the video evidence of Edmund's oral statement, he had dealt with all other relevant evidence. As long as there was no conclusive evidence that he had instructed Edmund, he would be fine!
What made Arnold even more furious than the investigation was the discovery that Oakland had actually created a storage ring! Compared to the delicate and lightweight ring, the plain and somewhat bulky suitcase-like mecha storage box he had previously brought out seemed incredibly cumbersome. Everyone who had been considering collaborating with him canceled their plans, leaving him with nothing but a loss of all his initial investment.
Fortunately, although Auckland's technology is good, it is still impossible to mass-produce it. In the case of supply and demand, he still has room to operate.
"General." Arnold's adjutant walked in.
"What's the matter?" Arnold asked impatiently.
"Miss Susan is here..."
"Tell her to go back first and tell her I have things to do here... Tell her I won't break my promise to her." Susan has a remarkable talent for heraldry and a sharp mind. She's actually managed to develop spatial storage technology. I believe that with more time, she could also develop a lightweight storage device like the storage ring. Although the book has been returned to Auckland, a high-definition scan is still available. He was forbidden from profiting from products made with the magic patterns in the book, but he could sell them through other channels.
While his mecha storage box couldn't compare to Auckland's storage ring, it had the advantage of being mass-produced. The first batch of products he had put into production consisted of four or five hundred units. He could set the price lower, confident that someone would still be willing to buy it. Rather than waiting for an unobtainable storage ring, he might as well buy his storage device and use it first.
Therefore, this woman still has certain value, so Arnold is still willing to fulfill the conditions he promised her before.
"Yes, General."
"And you better hurry up at the hospital."
"Yes, General." The adjutant took the order and retreated.
After his adjutant left, Arnold activated his computer and sent several communications to contact the Lowell family and Harrison Isaac of the Second Army. The communication went smoothly. As he had suspected, the mecha storage box wasn't perfect, but since they couldn't get a perfect product for the time being and Arnold's price wasn't high, they were willing to spend the money to buy some to use first.
The Lowell family was a mecha manufacturer, and the cost of transporting their mechas was very high. Having a mecha storage box could significantly reduce this cost. The Lowell family was, after all, businessmen, and their primary concern was profit. Therefore, when Arnold offered to lower the price, they agreed.
Although Harrison Isaac had some disagreements with Arnold over his daughter's affairs, his legion had always had a bad relationship with the Second Army, and he believed that the possibility of purchasing the storage ring was very slim. Since Arnold was sincere and took the initiative to lower the price, he agreed to buy it.
Arnold also contacted the black market. He would ask Susan to find a way to improve the carrier of the space storage technology, change the appearance of the mecha storage box, and then put it on the black market in a low-key manner, so that she could make a fortune.
All transactions are conducted in secret, will not attract anyone's attention, and will not leave any traces. It can be said that they are done without anyone noticing.
Arnold Percy's calculations were clattering.
Oakland and Hall could never have imagined that there would be such audacious and shameless people in the world who dared to ignore federal law and resort to such shameless tactics of lip service and disobeying it in reality.
