Chapter 718 “The trial will now begin.” 

With that, the long–awaited trial began. 

The vast courthouse was silent.

Everyone‘s gaze was fixed on James. Some pitied him, although most were apathetic. 

“C–Can I have something to eat?” James opened his eyes with great difficulty. The glaring lights blinded him.

After apologizing, the Emperor ordered his men to prepare food.
