In the bustling room, everyone was divided into three groups.
There was a group of people who supported Fade, but there were not many of them. Almost all of them were friends and other people whom he knew, such as the Hsing family, and people from the hidden family.
On the other hand, the other group of people supported the Long family. In contrast, there were a lot more people in this group. They surrounded Hamilton and Tiana as they spoke amongst themselves.
The remaining ones were on the neutral side as they discussed the incident, their gazes darting from side to side.
At this moment, Romeo stood beside Fade with worry written all over his face.
"Fade, is it really okay?"
"Yes, the Long family is very powerful in Capital City. Moreover, you really did kill Crown Prince Tarlo this time. I'm afraid that it will be slightly difficult to amend things."
In contrast to everyone else, Fade didn't seem too worried at all. He waved his hand and answered calmly, "I don't think that I've done anything wrong at all, so don't worry. That said, if the judge deems that I deserve a punishment, then I will take it."
Since he had made his stand, no one else dared to say anything.
On the other hand, the people who stood by the Long family were discussing the incident fiercely.
One by one, they surrounded the Long family, expressing their loyalty, denouncing Fade, and comforting them, displaying their flattering skills.
"Long family, I'm sorry for your loss."
"The Long family has a long history in Capital City. Hamilton, please don't worry. The judges will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
"Fade was way out of line. He killed someone over something so trivial. A thug like him must be severely punished, otherwise, the country will be lawless."
"We will stand by the Long family's side and support you forever."
The discussion amongst the group of people who did not take a stand was much more neutral.
"This case is quite interesting. It all started because Tarlo held ill intentions towards Joey and the girls. When you see things like this, the Long family is in the wrong."
"However, Fade has crossed a line. It's fine to punish Tarlo, but to kill him like that is a little too much."
"Both sides have their own stances. It now depends on how the senior leaders think about this matter."
"Yes! However, in my opinion, Fade should be punished, but it should not be too heavy of a punishment. After all, he is still valued by many big shots. Moreover, the Long family was in the wrong first."
"I don't think so. The Long family is a big family clan that has existed for hundreds of years, and they are the descendants of the former dynasty's royal family. They hold great power. The deceased, Tarlo, is not a child of an ordinary family, but the Crown Prince of the Long family. If the judges don't handle this well, the Long family might be dissatisfied."
"One more thing. Don't forget that Tiana is a disciple of Lindsay Hall. Even if the higher-ups don't care about the Long family's face, they still have to respect Lindsay Hall. Therefore, I feel that Fade would definitely be punished. He probably won't be sentenced to death, but the punishment of being expelled from the participating team might not be something that can be avoided."
"That's very reasonable. I think that's a good way to deal with it."
In the midst of the heated discussion, Gregary's group of judges did not waste too much time. After half an hour, they returned to the room.
The bustling crowd immediately quieted down. Everyone's eyes were focused on Gregory, looking forward to his imminent judgment.
