Chapter 837: What’s Your Relationship with Tracey?

Victor shot to his feet as soon as he heard Ozan Bailey speak, his face twisted in rage. He glared at Ozan and barked, "Nonsense! Do you even realize the consequences of what you're saying?" Tina, calm and unhurried, raised her gaze and spoke coolly, "What's the matter? Threatening a witness right in front of the judge now?"

"You-!" Victor was livid, glaring at Tina, his words stuck in his throat. Before he could respond, Ozan Bailey declared each word with deliberate clarity, "Everything I've said is the truth. If there's a single lie, I'm willing to bear the legal consequences!"

Victor tried to argue, but the judge interrupted him with a sharp rap of the gavel. "The court will now deliver its verdict!"

As the judge's voice fell, the courtroom doors were suddenly pushed open.

Ruud strode in, leading a team of armed men. He bowed slightly to the judge and presented an official document. "By higher command, I am taking over the case of Luke Gill and Victor Bailey." The courtroom erupted in chaos.

For the first time in this court's history, the defendants were being taken away during the final moments of a trial. The livestream audience was equally stunned, flooding the chat with comments:

- "Who is this guy? How powerful must he be to interrupt a trial like this?"

- "Yeah, and from the way he's acting, it seems like he's protecting those two?"

- "You guys don't understand. That's General Praevion of Sinoria. He's spent years on the battlefield defending the nation. He's not just a government official; he's a hero to the people. He's dedicated his life to protecting the country-so much so that he's never even married."

- "But why would someone like that defend criminals? Isn't this unfair to those who've worked hard to expose the truth?"

- "Exactly! Mr. Dyer suffered so much and finally got a chance to clear his name. Now General Praevion shows up and ruins everything?"

- "Maybe Luke Gill and Victor are innocent?"
