Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel 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.

Though his voice was frail, it reverberated throughout the silent courthouse.

Seeing this, many wept, especially Quincy. She knew that James served the people wholeheartedly. Though he had resigned, he chose to return to the battlefield without the slightest bit of hesitation.

In the end, however, this was how he was treated.

She stood up and voiced her dissatisfaction tearfully.

“Although James is guilty, you have no right to torture him under Solean law. Is this how you treat a man who performed great meritorious service for the country?” Quincy’s voice boomed.

The Emperor stood up and hurriedly explained, “I apologize for the neglect of our prisoner’s condition. We were so busy collecting evidence that we forgot to feed him. Don’t worry, I will arrange for my men to prepare some food for him. The trial will only begin after he has finished eating.”

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

James turned to look at the jury box. He was acquainted with some of the jurors.

He wanted to say something but chose to remain silent. Leaning against the chair, he waited for his meal to arrive.

Soon, his meal was served. It had generous portions. Under the watchful gaze of the nation, he finished his meal.

James could feel that he had regained some of his strength. Although he was still weak, speaking was not such an arduous task anymore.

“Let us begin the trial.”

Leroy stood up with the material he had prepared. He began narrating the crimes James had committed. It took him ten minutes.

Next were the witnesses.

The first was a Xavier, one of the Great Four of Cansington.
