Simply put, if Willow had not insisted on buying the land, Joanna would never have moved anything, and there would never have been losses.
Willow insisted that because she removed everything completely, there should be no losses.
The one who made the claim bore the burden of proof. Willow could not prove that Joanna suffered no losses after moving.
Second, if Joanna had not moved, the land on Earth Star could have been developed into new Mega Black Cities and Giga Black Cities. Her assets would only have increased, not stayed the same.
So, Willow lost the case.
“I understand.” Willow still sounded unwilling, but his eyes had become much clearer.
The judicator was experienced.
“Plaintiff loses. Defendant, do you have anything further to say?”
Joanna’s lips curved slightly.
“Then I counter–sue Willow for compensation for my economic losses, as well as emotional and reputational damages. How about that?”
In an instant, Willow was terrified out of his wits.
That was 15,400,000,000,000,000,000 star coins. That was 154 high–grade origin crystals.
There was no way he could produce that.
If Joanna won…
He would probably have to work for her for 2,000 years without earning a single coin.
Regret, dread, and panic flooded Willow all at once.
He never should have sued Joanna.
He said in an almost pleading tone, “Joanna, please don’t sue me. Let’s settle this privately, alright?”
“Oh? How do you want to settle privately?”
“I’ll compensate you. I’ll pay you 5 quadrillion. Is that acceptable?” Willow said.
The judicator cleared her throat. “Plaintiff and defendant, this is a courtroom. If you wish to settle privately, this session will be adjourned. Defendant Joanna, you retain the right to file charges against plaintiff Willow at any time.”

Joanna’s expression turned playful as she said, “I’m worried that if we settle privately, Lord Koch won’t accept it. I also don’t have that much time to keep dealing with this.
“I refuse private mediation. Let’s proceed with judgment right here in court.”
Willow collapsed into his seat, slumping weakly against the chair.
It’s over.
In that instant, countless possibilities flashed through his mind. He even considered fleeing the Space Alliance immediately, heading to the domain of the evil gods, or escaping Dreamscape Star altogether to seek protection from the Spidra and become a traitor to humanity.
But soon he heard the judicator’s voice.
“Next, the court will continue proceedings. Plaintiff and defendant will switch seats.”
The surroundings shifted. Joanna and Willow had not moved, but the labels above them changed.
This time, Joanna became the plaintiff.
Willow became the defendant.
“The economic losses have been calculated. However, these are projected losses. The plaintiff and defendant signed a valid contract, and defendant Willow fulfilled his obligation by paying 1,500 trillion star coins for the land transfer.
“Therefore, financial compensation is not reasonable.
“However, the defendant, Willow Koch, grew resentful when his personal interests were not satisfied, wasted court resources, and caused reputational and emotional harm to the plaintiff, Joanna Lane.”
“The court orders the defendant to provide reasonable compensation to the plaintiff
“Based on Joanna’s current strength, intermediate professional: Mythic–level Summoner.
“Social status: Dimension Lord.
“Current level: 89.99% level (actual level 59.9%, title bonus 30).
Triple compensation is awarded.
“Final compensation amount: 1,499 trillion.
“Additionally, for wasting court resources, Willow is sentenced to serve 7 days stationed at a high–level frontline battlefield as punishment.
“Defendant, do you accept the verdict and penalty?”
1,499 trillion.
