"Assholes! Who the hell are you guys?" Shawn Pierce furrowed his brow and glared at Billy and his two companions. "How dare you come here and act recklessly? You must have a death wish!"
"You're Shawn Pierce, right? Not bad, after all these years on the run, you still have the guts to come back to Ozin." Judge squinted slightly.
"Who are you?" Shawn Pierce was rendered alert by Judge's words.
"We'll talk about your business later," Billy said, sweeping his gaze over Song Toye before turning to Mark Pierce. "I heard that the Pierce family can do whatever they want in Ozin, even if you kill someone no one can touch you."
"Do you have a problem with that?" Mark Pierce furrowed his brow. "You think highly of yourself."
"If I told you I had the power to decide the fate of your son, do you believe it?" asked Billy.
Mark snorted coldly and said, "Ignorance breeds fearlessness. I'd like to see how you decide his fate!"
"You'll see soon enough," Billy smiled faintly and turned to Judge with a serious tone. "Read out Alec Pierce's main charges!"
"Yes, sir!" Judge nodded vigorously.
"At eighteen, he, along with his accomplices, bullied two female classmates, resulting in one of them tragically committing suicide, while the other suffered severe mental distress."
"At twenty, he was involved in a drunk driving accident, causing a serious traffic collision that resulted in three deaths and one injury, including a pregnant woman."
"At twenty-two, due to jealousy and envy, he led a group of people to beat someone into a vegetative state."
"..."
Judge read out a list of eight serious crimes committed by Alec Pierce all at once.
Mark Pierce furrowed his brow. He didn't expect that Judge would know these things so clearly. He had a vague sense of unease and felt that they were well-prepared.
"Mr Pierce, do you have anything else to add?" Billy continued, looking towards Mark Pierce and speaking in a calm tone.
Mark Pierce took a deep breath and coldly snorted again, "Even if you know, what can you do? The police can't control me. Who do you think you are?"
"In that case, do you acknowledge these charges against him?" Billy asked again in a calm tone.
"Each of the crimes committed by your son could have resulted in a life sentence, yet until today he was living well as an innocent person. Your family is truly impressive!"
"Kid, I don't have time to waste with you here. If you're capable, try touching my son!" Mark Pierce threatened angrily.
"Alright!" Billy then turned to looked at Judge and asked, "How should we punish him according to the law?"
"The death penalty!"
"Then kill him!" Billy replied.
"Yes, sir!" A SHADOW guard stepped forwards and wielded his blade.
"No!" Alec Pierce's ghost exclaimed with fear.
"You dare!" Shawn Pierce roared, his figure quickly flashing out.
