Chapter 767 Duel Agent
"Mate, I can do it myself, really!"
Tartaglia rubbed his hands and looked at Zuo Xi ingratiatingly. He knew that the other party was here to help him solve his problems, but he really didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Stop talking nonsense. Can you beat Clorinde or Villette? I will have to clean up your mess when the time comes."
Zuo Xi was not soft-hearted at all. Even if this guy could beat Clorinde, wouldn't he be killed in one blow by Villette later?
Being able to scratch Shui Longlong's face is enough for you to brag about for a while.
"Come on, buddy! Just let me fight Clorinde, just one fight, okay? That girl was always hiding her strength and not willing to use her full strength before, but now in a situation like this, she will definitely show her true strength!"
When Tartaglia saw that Zuo Xi was not going to indulge him, he became anxious. He had heard that Clorinde was the strongest duel agent of Fontaine, and it was a rare opportunity to have a serious fight with her!
"Ahem, this is a courtroom, not a place for you to mess around! You are a suspect in a crime, this is not the place for you to get into a fight!"
In order to maintain her own image, Fu Nina did her best. However, at this time, Zuo Xi felt that it would be more impressive if she said nothing and acted bored and uninterested.
When the truth comes out, her lack of interest will immediately be interpreted as "the supreme god who is in control of the situation has seen through the boredom of everything."
But then again, Ajax is still going to jail, so this scenario doesn't seem to hold true from the start.
"Oh? It sounds like the Water God wants to tell me something about the opera house..."
Tartaglia was responding to the questions and accusations of the water goddess Fernina when she was hit by Zuo Xi.
"You still have the nerve to criticize others. If you hadn't been so flamboyant recently, you wouldn't have been chosen as a target... Ajax, you really do need a little education."
Although Zuo Xi himself does not agree with the saying "A fly never bites an egg without a crack", it is undeniable that it is not completely unreasonable for Vashie to choose him.
Apart from the fact that he sits in a low position and does not look like a brainy person, the main reason is that the other party has been a little ostentatious recently.
Others either go shopping or act secretly, and there are very few people like him who go around the streets collecting debts and looking for fights.
Compared to other executives, Ajax has gained a lot of negative "mass base" in Fontaine in a short period of time.
Apart from anything else, at least those vendors who were being asked to pay back their debts were definitely indiscriminate and just wanted to make him feel bad.
"Come on, buddy. I'm just itching to do it...Isn't it okay if I don't fight anymore? I'll just let you handle it."
After being patted on the back of the head, Tartaglia smiled, fearing that Zuo Xi would really give him a lesson or something.
If it was just a beating, it would be fine, in a sense it would be exactly what he wanted.
But he couldn't understand his partner's methods. If the other party really wanted to punish him, then this educational process would definitely leave a deep impression on him.
Although I don’t know how to implement it specifically, I can imagine that the result will definitely be unpleasant.
"You are wise enough to know what's good for you. There will be a time when you will make up for your mistakes."
Zuo Xi was quite satisfied with how quickly Ajax gave in. If this guy really insisted on being stubborn, Zuo Xi would have no choice but to teach him a lesson first.
This guy is always on the rise, and I haven't watched him these days, so he got the chance. Although it's hard to blame Ajax, many things are fine if nothing goes wrong, but if something goes wrong, there are things to say.
"It seems that you have reached a consensus, so the trial will continue."
Seeing that Zuo Xi seemed to have finished the discussion, Villette continued with the process.
In his opinion, there were indeed doubts in this trial, so he did not act aggressively and was just following the proper process.
The evidence submitted anonymously was indeed sufficient to initiate a trial, but in his judgment, much of it was quite far-fetched.
It’s not that the evidence is not strong enough, nor that its authenticity is questionable, but that the direction of the evidence is quite vague.
Simply put, they can indeed serve as strong evidence in the case of the serial disappearance of young girls, but they are not strong enough to be used to convict someone specifically.
Especially the part that pointed to this executive officer, in Navilette's opinion, there were still many doubts.
Originally, he only needed the other party to explain clearly, and there was a high probability that he would give up on the grounds of insufficient evidence. He himself did not think that Tartaglia was the murderer, which meant that the cardinal who ruled would not give a guilty verdict.
So normally, it would take no time to just go through the process. But he didn't expect Urken to be so protective and stand with Tartaglia in court to support him.
Once this matter involves duel agency, it will be difficult to handle.
Since the establishment of Fontaine, no one has successfully escaped punishment through this system. The system of dueling agents is more of a tradition.
But if this new god were to act as the agent... the first case in history would probably be born.
Not to mention Clorinde, even if he went on the field himself, he might not be able to ensure victory.
And if it was Finina... Although Violet also wanted to see Finina's ability, from the moment she personally took the field, regardless of whether she won or not, the nature of the matter was different.
An ordinary trial will immediately turn into a war between gods, and once a war breaks out between gods, it is basically equivalent to a declaration of war between countries.
Of course, it doesn't matter if they compete in private, but this is a confrontation in public, and public opinion cannot be suppressed no matter what.
So, Vielette is trying to control the process as much as possible and not let things get too out of control.
The accused has not yet formally requested a duel agent, so it would be enough to complete the process before then and let the Cardinal of Indicative Decree pronounce the verdict.
"Then, let me repeat it again. Mr. Tartaglia, do you accept the charge of being the murderer of the "serial disappearance of girls" case? You can remain silent and allow your agent to speak on your behalf."
Navilette looked at Zuo Xi and Tartaglia. The conversation between the two just now was not deliberately hidden, so he knew that the accused party was now represented by Zuo Xi.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not his agent. I'm just a spectator who came to watch the fun. By the way, I'm just here to ensure the fairness of the trial."
That Villette didn't expect that there would be a problem at this stage, and had no choice but to look at Tartaglia.
"Um... Then I will apply to be my duel agent... Then my partner will be my duel agent!"
