Chapter 67: It Has Nothing To Do With Me
“Forget it, instructor, since the judge is their lackey, this trial was doomed from the start…” Locke’s face was calm, and his eyes were full of gratitude towards Diana.
“Locke, are you really willing to swallow this? They tried to hurt your parents!” Realizing that she had lost her composure, she calmed herself down before continuing, “It’s my fault… I wasn’t able to convict them…”
“No! You’ve already done your best. This is better than I expected, I have already gotten what I wanted…” Locke had a mysterious smile on his face.
…
Adrian left the court with two servants pushing his wheelchair. Meanwhile, Alice was touching up her makeup while walking under the shade of an umbrella that was held up by another servant.
“Brother, those four b*stards are really useless. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, let’s just off their families as well…”
Adrian lit a cigar and said, “The consequences of failing a mission is death. Although they’ve already died at Locke’s hands, the rules of the White family must be upheld. Let their families suffer in their place!”
In the eyes of the siblings, the servants who had sacrificed their lives for their family were just weeds that could be removed at any time.
Their ostentatious conversation had also attracted the displeasure of the ordinary citizens who had been listening in.
One after another, they cast disdainful gazes at them.
“What are you looking at! You bunch of bugs!” Alice noticed the unfriendly gazes around her and immediately cursed!
“Clear this street for me! I want to bask in the sun!” Adrian showed no common decency as he ordered his servants to chase away the people who were coming out of the court.
Diana, who was standing, saw the scene and was furious. She wanted to go up and teach the two b*stards a lesson.

However, Locke pulled her back again and said, “Teacher, your scarf smells so good. Lend it to me!”
After saying that, Locke took off the black scarf around Diana’s neck, covered his eyes, and walked towards Adrian and the others.
In the process, he also called out Lil’ White and asked it to create a layer of ice on his hands.
Just as Diana was about to stop Locke, Jacques, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, advised, “This kid has many ideas. Let’s just watch and see…”
“Heh! What are you doing? Think that I can’t recognize you just because you’re wearing a scarf?” Adrian looked at the masked Locke and said.
Smack!
Who knew that Locke would slap him and the wheelchair to the ground!
“Locke! What are you doing!” Alice shouted.
Locke did not reply. After clenching his fists, he smashed them towards Adrian’s face!
“Ah… !”
Then, he threw a few more punches!
Adrian, who already had both his legs broken, could not withstand Locke’s Stage 2 Body Tempering!
He screamed, “You guys can testify for me! It was Locke who hit me!”
However, the passersby simply ignored him and just watched quietly.
A few of the servants were also injured by Locke’s punches. They laid on the ground for a short period of time and could not get up.
Alice was already scared out of her wits. She hugged the telephone pole by the roadside and did not dare to go forward.
“Ah!!”
Adrian’s face was swollen from the punches. Then, both of his legs were hit by Locke’s two punches!
The sound of bones shattering could be clearly heard. The familiar pain struck Adrian’s nerves again.
Locke stayed his hand.
Seeing that it was about time, he turned around and returned to the other side of the street. He took off his scarf and returned it. “Thank you, instructor!”

“Don’t go! We’ll have the judge judge you immediately!” Seeing that Locke was far away, her courage returned.
Diana covered her mouth and laughed. He now understood Locke’s intention.
“Okay! We’ll wait here for the court session to start. This time, I’ll see what the judge has to say…”
Locke laughed. “Hahaha! No! This time, I’ll do it myself!”
The White family’s servants had already brought out the police from the court. They mentioned that their young master had been attacked on the street and they requested the judge to start another trial.
The person they wanted to sue was Locke who was standing on the street!
Adrian had no way to continue sitting in the court. His legs were severely injured once more, and his face was distorted from the beating. He fainted on the spot.
Alice was the sole prosecutor.
The people who enjoyed the show returned to court to watch how it will transpire.
“Did you attack Adrian on the street just now?!” The old judge glared at Locke.
“Of course not!” Locke crossed his arms and replied with a smile.
“Nonsense! Several servants of our family were present! And these people who are listening in can also testify!” Alice banged the table and shouted.
Their lawyer also stated, “This Locke is too arrogant! He actually dared to attack my client in front of the court. This is contempt of court! Your Honor, please give him a heavy sentence!”
Following that, a few servants testified that it was Locke who attacked their young master.
“What else do you have to say for yourself?” The judge asked Locke again.
“I’ve said it before, the person who hit Adrian wasn’t me! It has nothing to do with me!”
“Nonsense! I saw you hitting someone upstairs just now! And you dare say that it isn’t you?”
Locke shrugged, “Where’s the evidence? Why do you think it’s me?”
“Of course it’s the school emblem on your clothes! And your figure! Don’t think that just because you’re wearing a black scarf, we won’t be able to recognize you!” The judge was completely on the side of the White family. The impartiality that was required of a judge was nowhere to be seen.
“That’s strange! As far as I know, there are at least a few thousand people in the Federal Academy who share this school emblem! Moreover, what if someone from another school impersonates you? Also, my clothes are also very ordinary, anyone can buy them! Don’t forget, the person who hit Adrian is still wearing a mask! Did you see his face clearly? How can you be sure that he is me? What if I’m being framed? We must first confirm the attacker’s identity!”
Locke’s words made the judge speechless.
‘This kid is using my own words against me?’
“How shameless! You’re manipulating the facts!” The judge was red with anger, and he kept rapping on the table with his gavel.
“Okay! How about this! If I recall correctly, there’s a Battle Beast that can record crime scenes. If we can get it to appear in court, we should be able to get the truth of the situation!”
“Sure! Bring the Battle Beast over then! We’ll have it show its recordings!”
The moment the judge finished his sentence, he regretted it.
He realized that he had completely fallen into Locke’s trap!
Sure enough, Locke’s next sentence made him so angry that he almost flipped the table over!
“However, its whereabouts are uncertain. I believe that I will be able to find it within the next twenty years! So, until then, this case should be shelved. In short, with the current evidence, you can’t say that the person who looks like me is me, right?”
“PFFT…”
“Hahaha…”
“Interesting…”
Locke’s words caused the audience to burst out in laughter.
