H. D. Law Firm was one of the most well-known private law firms apart from NIGHTBREEZE. It ranks first in terms of annual revenue. In terms of win rate, NIGHTBREEZE may have the upper hand, but the firm primarily serves a high-end clientele with a lower case volume. While NIGHTBREEZE may excel, most people can't afford their lawyers.
Now, this flashy young man claimed to have had a showdown with Asher, the founder of H. D. Law Firm and dean of the Law School of Capital University.
Zechariah considered himself a "cultured" person and usually refrained from being confrontational in front of the camera, but hearing this young man's bragging pushed his limits.
"Nowadays, young people really open my eyes. They have limited abilities but aim high and waste a lot of valuable resources."
By saying this, Zechariah was insinuating that Omari, who had little ability but flaunted himself, was wasting educational resources.
To earn a law license was no small feat in Chulae. It was one of the most challenging certificates to obtain. Tens of millions of students participate in the exam each year, with a passing rate of less than 30%.
Being mocked, Omari didn't retort. He gracefully retracted his hand, even "accepted" the lessons from Zechariah, and nodded.
"Sure, senior, I'll remember. Please, don't hold back on me."
Because, I won't hold back on you either.
His voice sounded exceptionally clear and melodious. His laughter was soothing and made your ears tingle.
Zechariah thought that Omari's apparent concession was an act of "showing weakness." He raised his nostrils and sneered softly, "Rest assured, young man. Respecting your opponent is also a virtue."
"How brilliant, Mr. Lara. He actually said he's your opponent," Cheyenne lightly smiled and patted her hand, producing a sound like silver bells.
Zechariah felt insulted by her comment but was about to respond when the time reached 2:30 PM.
The court began.
Zechariah adjusted his glasses, clutched his folder, and walked into the courtroom.
Peyton followed closely behind.
Graeme, who walked at the rear, accidentally stumbled on a step. His parents thought it was embarrassing and didn't want to attend, so he came to support Peyton on his own.
The Mathews family was a prestigious one. How could such a scandal make headlines?
Unfortunately, Graeme, being a young and headstrong man, solely focused on winning this case and completely disregarded the potential negative impact this news might have on the company.
On the very day, the Mathews Group's stocks dropped by three percentage points. If they won the case today, that would be good, but if not, the news spreading could cause another sharp drop in their stocks, erasing any recovery they'd managed.
