Seeing this, everyone also stood up straight, with solemn expressions.

"Now announce the verdict." The old chief fireman glanced at the crowd. "According to Article 20, No. [-], Article [-], and the principle of innocence, it is announced that Seele's accusation of Scott's deliberate deception does not have sufficient evidence and cannot be established."

"How could it be?" Seele showed an unbelievable expression.

"Let me just say it!" Scott said triumphantly, "Your Excellency is wise! You are indeed the embodiment of fairness and justice!"

Seeing this, the people on the side couldn't help but darken their expressions.

"Defendant Scott, please don't interrupt my speech!" The fire chief looked at Scott seriously and scolded.

"Haven't you finished reading?" Scott showed a puzzled expression, but soon relaxed, "It's okay, anyway, I've already won a lot with the first article alone?"

The people on the side ignored Scott and stared at the fireman closely.

Just listen to the chief fireman speak slowly:

"According to Article 13 of Act No. [-], a contract signed by a child under the age of eight is invalid because he does not have the capacity for civil conduct."

When Scott heard this sentence, the only remaining eye was wide open, and the pupil was dilated.

Only two words echoed in his mind——

invalid!

invalid!!

invalid!!!

……

Chapter 14 Ten Thousand Winter Shields

"Children, you can get out of here."

Backstage at the boxing gym, the fire chief looked at the children lured by Scott and said kindly.

Those prostitution contracts that restricted them were burning in the brazier at the moment, turning into ashes.

Along with it, Scott's ambition died.

"Thank you grandpa!"

The children said their final goodbyes. What happened tonight had a great impact on them.

Oleg arranged for the Silver Mane Iron Guard to take them to the security station, but these children did not leave immediately, but looked at Chu Mu who was covered in bruises on the ground, bowed one by one, and said goodbye silently.

They understand that tonight, he saved them all!

After the people left, Chu Mu couldn't help muttering:

"These brats, where did they learn this. Bowing one by one is like opening a memorial service. I'm not dead yet."

"You are still a child, and you still call other people little brats." Natasha looked at Chu Mu with a smile, and she felt much better at the moment.

The chief fireman looked at Chu Mu with a thoughtful expression.

At this time, Scott uttered an unwilling roar:

"Why, why, why did I lose?"

Natasha sarcastically said:

"Did you lose? Didn't you just say that you won a big win? Why can't you accept it if fairness and justice are not on your side?"

"Big win, big win!" Seele imitated Scott's tone, making Scott's irritated eyes turn red.

"You, you, don't be too proud!" Scott pointed to Chu Mu, "This kid's business is not over yet! I don't believe you can win this time!"

Hearing this, everyone's originally relaxed expressions gradually became dignified.

The second round of ruling, I am afraid there is no way to win.

After all, Chu Mu really plucked out one of the other's eyes, this cannot be faked.

Seeing the dignified expressions of everyone, the old dean said calmly:

"It's up to us to pay him. After all, we are Chu Mu's guardians. We will take care of what he did! I just hope that the Lord can decide a reasonable compensation price, and don't let him ask for it."

Hearing this, the chief fireman nodded slightly:

"I will follow the code."

Then, he listened to the appeal twice.

Scott no longer offered 20 winter shields, and the current price was [-].

It seems that the losses of those children have also been added.

In his opinion, all these good things were destroyed by Chu Mu! He never thought that if he hadn't stopped Chu Mu at the beginning, how could such a thing happen?

With the support of Natasha, Chu Mu also used concise but clear language to fully describe the whole process of the incident, including the cause and effect.

This kind of language expression ability far surpassed that of his peers, so that the chief fireman couldn't help but look up to Chu Mu again, and the way he looked at the child became more and more appreciative.

Of course, this kind of favor will not affect his ruling.

Correspondingly, no matter how much he disliked Scott, he would not let this emotion be brought into the code.

This belief is the reason why he can become the custodian of the code.

The old man stood up again and opened the law code in his hand.

Everyone waited quietly for his ruling.

"According to the confessions of both parties, Chu Mu shot Scott first, and there was subjective fault. However, considering that he was only six years old and his mind was immature, it was ruled as a crime of negligence in subjective fault."

"Is he immature?" Scott pointed at Chu Mu, startled and angry.

Seeing this, Chu Mu just murmured to himself in a low voice:

"I'm still a kid."

Hearing this, Natasha couldn't help but look back at Chu Mu.

At this time, the fire chief continued:

"According to Article [-] of Act No. [-], since he is under the age of ten, he will not be given criminal punishment, and his guardian will be responsible for civil compensation instead. The calculation results of civil compensation are as follows..."

The chief fireman began to read the items of each item. This price may not be the most accurate, but it must be the most reasonable.

A series of compensations proposed by Scott, most of which, including the boxing gym, the loss of tickets, and the loss of the child's contract cancellation, have not been agreed.

"I don't accept it!" Scott shouted before finishing the calculation.

"Then you will waive the claim by default, and the ruling will be terminated immediately." The chief fireman looked at Scott quietly, "Are you sure?"

Scott could only shut up obediently.

Finally, the calculation is completed, and the fireman gives the final result:

"According to the calculation results, Chu Mu's guardian, the Rivet Town Orphanage, needs to pay Scott [-] Wintershield as compensation!"

"It's not fair! Why is one of my eyes only worth this!" Scott scolded, "That's my flesh and blood, so I need to pay extra!"

"As I said, the verdict has been given. If you don't accept it, you will acquiesce in the claim." The chief fireman looked at Scott for the last time, and then ignored him.

"Thank you for your justice!" The old dean looked gratefully at the chief fireman.

"This is a ruling made by the Great Law Code. I am only following the will of the builders." The chief fireman said seriously.

Immediately, he closed the code, and his demeanor became much kinder, and the seriousness on his face was also put away, and he smiled at the old dean:

"I believe that this compensation price should be within your ability."

"Yes." The old dean nodded, but soon, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face, "But we may pay in installments, and the money in the account is not very rich."

Hearing this, the chief fireman shook his head and said:

"We need to talk to him. My ruling has been given. How to pay the compensation depends on how you negotiate."

The old dean looked at Scott and said softly:

"Mr. Scott, I want to talk to you about the payment of compensation."

"What's there to talk about? Give me the money right now!" Scott stared at everyone viciously, "Don't think about paying in installments, I lost an eye, do you still want to delay the money? You really teamed up to bully me!"

"It's not that I don't give it, it's that there is really not that much extra money." The old yard shook his head bitterly, "Now there are only a few thousand winter city shields in the account, and part of the monthly appropriation can be withdrawn from the future, but if there is too much, everyone I can’t even get enough to eat. Mr. Scott, I don’t ask you to let go of this old face for the sake of those children. I beg you, can you give us a year’s grace? Within a year, I will definitely settle it for you. "

The words of the old dean made everyone's hearts feel as if they were being crushed by a boulder, and they couldn't breathe.

This former daughter of a thousand gold, now for the children of the orphanage, was stumped by the mere [-] winter city shield.

Even, without hesitating to be so humble, to beg a rotten person who is filthy in his bones!

"You, what's the use of your old face? Look at how old you are now? Do you still think you are the beautiful young lady from before?" Scott's drake-like voice made a harsh mockery!

Hearing this, the old dean couldn't help taking a few steps back weakly, his face pale.

Natasha on the side supported her and glared at Scott:

"Have you said enough?"

"I really want to kill you, I really want to kill you!" Oleg clenched his fists, his eyes were red.

Everyone present looked at Scott with hatred!

Seeing this scene, Scott staggered back and panicked:

"Don't mess around, don't mess around! There are surveillance cameras here, and the Great Code is here! Why are you bullying me? I just want my eyeball money back. What's wrong with me! Isn't it you who are wrong? Is there any justice?"

At this time, Chu Mu, who had been lying down all the time, spoke:

"Article [-] of Act No. [-] of the Great Code, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. Boss Scott, you want justice, and I will repay you justice!"

……

Chapter 15 An Eye For An Eye
