Domineering, wild and invincible! This was the aura exuded by Humphrey. The spirit of a king! Every sentence was forcefully questioned and every word was heartbreaking! He wanted Elsa to explain. It wouldn't work if Elsa refused! Elsa's face was slightly flustered. She said calmly, "Humphrey, what do you mean? Do you think that the destruction of the Herbert family has something to do with me, a woman?" "What crime can't be justified if you want to commit it? The Herbert family collapsed, and you barked everywhere like a mad dog. Did you forget to get the rabies vaccine in the years you left Lymelathe City?" Claude, who was under the high platform, was instantly furious! Who was Humphrey Harrelson? He was War of Lord in The north, the unrivaled and undefeated God of War! He had made great military exploits, gained glory, held great power, and controlled life and death! He was a god above the nine heavens and deserved to be worshiped and respected by millions of people! But now, this ignorant woman dares to insult the Lord as a dog? "If you dare to offend the Lord, you shall be killed! No mercy!" Claude was so angry that he immediately pulled out the gun from his waist and pointed the gun directly at Elsa! Humphrey suddenly raised his hand. He stared at Claude and asked, "Have you forgotten what I said?" Humphrey once said that all the characters related to the destruction of the Herbert family must be dealt with personally, and Claude naturally remembered it. Just seeing his respected lord being insulted in front of his face, Claude couldn't help but be furious. Being questioned by Humphrey at this time, Claude felt deeply guilty and knelt on one knee without hesitation, "I know I was wrong, please punish me!" Humphrey's expression softened, "You will receive the punishment of ten sticks in the future. Get up." "Thank you, Lord!" Claude breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of corporal punishment but he was afraid that Humphrey would not let him continue to serve him. He quickly stood up after hearing this. He stood upright but still held the gun in his hand. No matter what, he would never let Humphrey get hurt, even if he was severely punished afterward! Because this was his mission! Elsa was so frightened when she saw the gun that she would have fled immediately if Humphrey hadn't stopped him in time! At this time, when she saw Claude kneeling to beg for punishment and no longer pointing a gun at her, she still couldn't calm down because she felt the strong murderous intent at that moment! Elsa sneered with a trembling voice, "Humphrey, is this what you rely on? With a martial arts master, do you want to run rampant in Lymelathe City? Without this entourage, who you are?" Under the high platform, a polite man wearing gold-rimmed glasses took a step forward, shook the red wine glass in his hand, and looked like he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand: "Ms. Willow, don't be afraid, this is a legal society, and they won't dare to shoot and kill in public. Didn't you see that? One of them drew his gun and the other shouted to stop. They were just acting here. No matter what their purpose is, meeting me, Otis, they will be in vain!" When Otis said this, he looked at Humphrey and said eloquently, "Do you know how many crimes you have committed since you entered this courtyard? Ms. Willow didn't give you an invitation letter, but you show up here, which means you are breaking into a private house! This is the first crime! You guys beat and injured Mr. Youngblood and the security guards of the Willow family for no reason. This is the second crime! You framed and fabricated stories out of thin air to slander the reputation of the Willow family and even the other three major families. This is the third crime! Also, this banquet is Ms. Willow's birthday banquet and even the engagement banquet of Mr. White and Ms. Willow. For this banquet, Ms. Willow spent countless money and effort. Because of you, this expensive banquet that brought together many prominent celebrities will become meaningless. You have wasted Mr. White and Ms. Willow's efforts and affected everyone's mood. Do you know how much intangible wealth has been lost in this? You can't even afford to pay!" What he said was a bit impassioned. Otis couldn't help but adjust his tie and then continued angrily, "Now, you have two choices. First, bow to Ms. Willow to admit your mistake and listen to Ms. Willow's order! Second, I will list the evidence of your crime and let you sit in jail from now on!" Everyone's eyes around him were bright and they clapped their hands in praise. "As expected of the top lawyer in Lymelathe City, Lawyer Stone is here, who dares to make a mistake?" "Lawyer Stone has represented more than 100 cases in Lymelathe City. He has never lost any of them, which shows his strong ability! What he said today was even more logical and clear, which made me admire him. There happened to be a dispute case in our company recently. Handling it to Lawyer Stone is the best choice!" For a time, there was warm applause and praises one after another. Otis smiled implicitly and nodded to everyone. He was feeling proud and high-spirited! Being able to show his face in front of Elsa and Hubbery, two children of the four major families, as well as many celebrities, is enough to double his worth in the future. If Elsa and Hubbery value his talents, let him become the official Lawyer of the four major families in the future, he will have nothing to worry about in his life! The effect of alcohol and the enthusiastic cheers from the people around him made Otis feel that his abilities were not just there, but that he could be stronger and perform unscrupulously. So he drank the red wine in the glass and smashed the glass to the ground with a click. He pointed at Humphrey and said, "Are you Dempsey's brother with a different surname? As we all know, Dempsey is an only son, and you and he are brothers with different surnames. He must have a conspiracy in mind. The idea of the family's property, if Dempsey dies, you can legitimately inherit the Herbert family's property. You just asked Ms. Willow to give you an explanation, why not give us an explanation first? Is Dempsey's death related to you? After all, after Dempsey dies, you are the one most likely to benefit from it! The thief calls to catch the thief and frames the blame. To cover up your crime, you did not hesitate to frame the crime. You are good at calculation, but too bad you've met me!" The people around him were dumbfounded. They had finally seen Otis's talent for sophistry! Dempsey's death and the destruction of the Herbert family are facts that many people see through but cannot tell. After all, when the Herbert family collapsed, the real beneficiaries were the four major families and other forces that became prosperous along with the four major families. But when Otis said this, it made people feel that the death of Dempsey and the destruction of the Herbert family were inseparable from the adopted son of the Herbert family! What was right and wrong all depends on one's mouth! Elsa and Hubbery's eyes lit up when they heard this, and the panic in their hearts was instantly calmed down! With Lawyer Stone assisting them, what should they fear? Elsa immediately sneered and said, "Humphrey, have you been mentioned as a central concern? Could Dempsey's death be related to you? At that time, the Herbert family regarded you as their child and treated you as one of their own. But you are so ambitious and don't want to repay, and you have ruined the Herbert family! Aldrich was so blind that he would adopt an ungrateful son like you!" Meral clenched her silver teeth and scolded angrily, "Elsa, you are framing the blame! When Dempsey died, Humphrey was not in Lymelathe City at all. Moreover, the Herbert family's property has all been divided among your four major families. Now, when you take advantage of a good deal and act all innocent. Slandering Humphrey for the evil things you have done. Aren't you afraid of going to hell after death?" Elsa slowly raised her head and looked at Meral with eyes full of contempt, "Meral, are you getting impatient with life? Believe it or not, with just one phone call from me, I can make your Quinnell family start to struggle from tomorrow onwards to the point where even eating steamed buns becomes a luxury?" Meral almost broke her teeth, but she was unable to refute! Given the current situation of the Quinnell family, not to mention the Willow family, a top four major family, and even the Reddy family, a first-class family, it's a burden they can't be blamed for. It's fair to say that Elsa truly has the power to make everyone in the Quinnell family suffer with just a single phone call! Furthermore, during that period, her uncle, Les, had to escort her to the Willow family to kneel, apologize, and seek forgiveness! There was no possibility of resistance! Claude stood in the audience, full of murderous intent. If Humphrey hadn't allowed him to take action without permission, he would have been unable to help but go on a killing spree! Just when everyone thought that today's farce was over and Humphrey had been frightened by Otis's evidence and accusations, they saw Humphrey lightly raising his eyes and looking at Otis. "You are eloquent and confuse right and wrong. You deserve to be punished. The first three evidences of crime are somewhat untrue. Since you want to list the evidence of crime for me, I will give you the fourth evidence of crime!" After finishing his words, he raised his hand slightly. On the front edge of the high platform, there was a table with a bottle of champagne worth six figures. Elsa was originally going to open the bottle to celebrate with Hubbery. At this time, the bottle of champagne has not yet been opened. Humphrey flicked his finger, and the neck of the champagne bottle suddenly cracked. A fragment shot directly into Otis's neck! "This fourth piece of evidence is murder!" Humphrey said coldly the moment after popping the bottle. Scratches appeared, and blood spurts out! A hideous wound with two fingers wide suddenly appeared on the Adam's apple of Otis's neck! Hot blood shot out from Otis's neck! Otis looked horrified and subconsciously covered his neck, trying to stop the blood from flowing out. But when he covered his neck, blood immediately overflowed into his mouth. He couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out large swaths of blood! He covered his mouth again, and blood spurted out from his neck again. The energy of the body was cooled rapidly as the blood flowed out. Otis's branded suit, high-end tie, and white shirt were instantly stained with blood. He opened his mouth and couldn't speak, only the sound of blood flowing. He held firm for more than ten seconds before falling to the ground! Humphrey's eyes were cold and emotionless. After watching Otis fall into a pool of blood, he put his fingers into his mouth and took a gentle breath. Just because there was some champagne on his fingers. But it felt like he was sucking blood!
