Chapter 75: The Courtroom Scene.
Chapter 75: The Courtroom Scene.
"Master Bai, after removing those who forced women to commit adultery and those who committed indecent assault, there are still ninety-eight people left."
Bao Guowei flipped through his notebook, muttering, "Seven of them are skilled, the rest are ordinary prisoners."
"Um."
Bai Chen took the notebook and looked at the name on it.
He focused his attention on the seven skilled prisoners, one of whom was a familiar name—
Robert Wilson: Skilled in preparing Kowloon Veterinary Medicine; in terms of family situation, he has a previous divorce and an elderly father.
"Coach Robert has joined too, great!"
Bai Chen smiled.
In fact, when he was preparing to create a force, he had already considered the question of what he would rely on to establish himself here.
Admittedly, Bai Chen is very strong in combat, but he can't do everything himself, or he'd become a babysitter.
Therefore, Bai Chen decided to establish himself in the United States through martial arts and have the core members of his faction practice martial arts.
There's a saying that even the most skilled martial artist is afraid of a kitchen knife.
However, this is based on the premise that the warrior is empty-handed while the enemy is armed.
If a martial artist and an ordinary person were both armed, the martial artist, relying on their superior reflexes, could instantly kill the ordinary person.
However, it is simply impossible for a martial artist to grow in skill without the help of external aids, without taking at least ten or eight years.
Only by relying on external aids, like Bai Chen did before, by starting to take drugs from the Skin Refining Realm, can one achieve results in cultivation in a short period of time.
When a martial artist cultivates to the Flesh Refining Realm, their strength and reaction speed will be greatly enhanced.
With the addition of some modern combat skills, he would definitely be a top-tier special forces soldier.
Of course, martial arts are the foundation of his life, and they must be restricted.
Aside from requiring absolute loyalty, the highest level that can be taught is the Flesh Refining Realm.
"Bao Guowei, you'll temporarily serve as the White Paper Fan of the Martial Arts Gang. Manage these prisoners well for me. If you do a good job, you'll be promoted to a full-fledged member when you get out. If you don't, I'll find someone else to replace you. Understand?"
Bai Chen patted Bao Guowei on the shoulder and said seriously.
Upon hearing these words, Bao Guowei was so excited he couldn't speak. He quickly patted his chest and assured them:
"Master Bai, I will do my best to complete the task you entrusted to me."
.....
This is the outdoor exercise area.
Just as Bai Chen was explaining the gang rules and job plans to Bao Guowei.
Suddenly, a white prison guard walked over hurriedly.
Bai Chen put down his notebook and looked at the prison guard.
"Number 30806, Ms. Anna wants you to go to the infirmary as soon as possible for a follow-up examination of your illness!"
The prison guard wasn't there to cause trouble for Bai Chen; he was there to deliver a message.
"Um."
Bai Chen nodded, somewhat surprised, wondering why Anna, this beautiful girl, wanted to see him.
Surely it can't be that you're itching for a beating in the middle of the day, can it?
"I'll tell you about the gang later. You take your men and keep an eye on these black guys, make them kneel until the exercise period is over."
Bai Chen gave a brief explanation and then strode away from the exercise area.
"I'm so envious! Bai Ye is a real man!"
As Bao Guowei watched his eldest brother's departing figure, the admiration in his heart was beyond words.
.....
The medical room on the second floor of the administration building of the Southern Prison.
The door was pushed open.
After Anna recognized who it was, she immediately stood up and went to greet them, giving them a big hug.
"Bai, you smell so good. It's strange, I don't wear any perfume."
Anna's eyes were filled with infatuation.
In this regard.
Bai Chen secretly guessed that it was probably because he was a martial artist, superior to ordinary people in terms of life level, that he had this attraction for women.
"Anna, why did you call me here in the middle of the day?" Bai Chen touched her forehead with his lips and asked softly.
"Bai, you need to be careful from now on. Someone is going to accuse you," Anna explained.
Accusations?
Bai Chen raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What are you accusing me of?"
"You're accused of intentional assault and racial discrimination. The accusers are prison guards from our prison; several guards made the accusations together."
Anna touched Bai Chen's face and said with heartache, "These people are just being dramatic. Don't they understand? They just like to accuse others of discrimination."
As she spoke, she reassured him, "Don't worry, Bai, I will definitely not let anything happen to you. Their accusations are pure nonsense."
Listening to Anna's words.
Bai Chen awkwardly touched his nose, because the other party's accusation was not without merit.
Right now, in the open square, there are still several Black people kneeling on the ground, singing "Sunshine, Rainbow, Little White Horse."
"Ahem, what if I really did something to intentionally cause harm, and what if I really discriminated against them?" Bai Chen asked tentatively.
Anna said nonchalantly, "In this world, the strong are respected. If you hurt them, it shows they're weak. As for discrimination, so what if you discriminate?"
"Bai, the presiding judge of the Southern New Mexico court, is my uncle. The power to interpret the law rests with me!"
"That's amazing?" Bai Chen exclaimed in surprise.
The last time I heard such words was in a TV series; I never expected to encounter them in real life.
"Oh, dear Bai, don't be so rude."
Anna rolled her eyes, placed her pale finger on Bai Chen's lips, and said in a low voice:
"Remember to come for a follow-up check-up tonight; I need to give you a proper treatment."
"Then it'll have to be treated properly," Bai Chen joked.
......
The next few days.
Bai Chen lived a very comfortable life. During the day, he would patrol his territory to see if any other prisoners were bullying his underlings.
At night, he would go to the infirmary to receive treatment from Dr. Anna.
Every day was lived so authentically and wonderfully!
If it weren't for pulmonary fibrosis, a life-threatening disease, Bai Chen would think that living like this indefinitely would be quite enjoyable.
His monotonous life only ended when prison guards told him that his charges of assault and racial discrimination would go to trial the next day.
...
in court.
An elderly man with white hair, dressed in a long robe, sat solemnly in the chair of the presiding judge.
On the left, the plaintiffs are two Black prison guards in suits who will represent more than a dozen Black prison guards at the trial.
The defendant on the right is Bai Chen.
now.
Bai Chen wore a light-colored shirt paired with a dark suit. His tall figure was accentuated by the suit, making him look very imposing. Combined with his martial arts aura, he appeared majestic and powerful.
This suit was prepared by Anna and was reportedly custom-made at a considerable cost.
According to the court regulations of the United States, formal attire must be worn when appearing in court, even for prisoners.
At the very bottom of the courtroom sat a group of jurors.
The jury was predominantly white, with only a handful of Black people, and this was only because of the rule that "juries cannot be of the same race."
It's worth mentioning that Anna was also a member of the jury, and at this moment she was staring intently at Bai Chen in the dock.
"So handsome~"
Anna's eyes were sparkling.
She decided to have Bai Chen go to the medical room in a suit after the court hearing so he could receive her examination and treatment.
