The first week of the trial, Axel did not come. He was represented by his lawyer, Antonio Gonzales. A man of Latin descent who has long served the Axel family's legal case. But this time, he's taking care of the criminal law. His face looked fearful and doubtful that morning as he shook hands with Aletta and Kenzie.
"Where is Dioneel?" ask Kenzie in a whisper.
Aletta shrugged both of her shoulders. "She's still in a meeting, once she's done she'll catch up,"
Kenzie nodded and invited Aletta to enter the green room. Shortly, the judge entered the room.
For some reason, Aletta saw a strange gesture from the judge's movements. But he doesn't care much about that. He will focus only on the outcome of the trial.
Kenzie read out his lawsuit, as did Antonio. The man with a thick mustache and a cold face read out his objections to the allegations made to his client. Surprisingly, Antonio said Axel was in the office for a meeting and after the meeting, he had just followed to support his friends at the racecourse.
From the defense read by Antonio, Axel did not avoid if he did own and coordinate a motorcycle club, but the motorcycle club never did racing wild or beating. Still based on the description of Antonio, Axel also admitted that their motorcycle club is called Black Moon.
This is where Antonio calls Maxwell. He says Max is a power-hungry defector. Antonio's remarks were accompanied by evidence, one of which was Aletta's abduction.
"Did they not take Axel's evidence into account? It was obvious that Axel admitted that he was the one who beat up Arsen! Not Max!" aletta whispered loudly to Kenzie.
Kenzie asks Aletta to calm down. "We can object there. So far, we haven't issued any evidence of the tape. That's our weak point. We only have one piece of evidence,"
Aletta's heart is breaking. "What does that mean? Are we going to lose?"
"We'll see later" Kenzie replied briefly.
From what Antonio has delivered, the judge approved all of Antonio's plea for Axel. After Antonio finished reading out the defense, Kenzie raised an objection.
"Interruption, Your Grace. From what I've heard and learned, that the suspect just turned the facts upside down. As far as we're concerned, brother Maxwell, it had nothing to do with the beating. It's true Max kidnapped the victim's brother, but it happened after a beating by the suspect" Kenzie said.
The judge cleared his throat and lowered his glasses to re-examine the files that had been given by both sides. Then, he looked at Kenzie from behind his glasses. "Do you have enough hard evidence to convince me that the suspect is really guilty?"
Kenzie advances to the green table with the footage on his phone. He asked the council for permission to play the tape.
" ... The losing barteran player will receive a penalty in accordance with the applicable rules and the penalty is also free. Then yes, at first I did not actually hit it, but for a long time, do not know like there are demons that push the cave to continue mukulin Arsen not stop,"
The entire court fell silent and some of them whispered to each other and exchanged information. Some even blatantly say that Axel is the suspect.
"Is that enough, Your Majesty?" ask Kenzie.
The judge looked confused and he was silent for a moment. "I will delay this trial until the day after tomorrow," then, he tapped his hammer and ended the trial that day.
Once out of the courtroom, Aletta was furious and nagged. "What the fuck! Why is he so? What's that supposed?"
"He was bribed by Axel, Letta. You can see his face, right? The judge also feared trial by other legal officials. Axel's demands to his lawyers are also high, he asked this trial not to be smelled by the media. Where can it be, right? With half of those present are the Dioneel and Axel motorcycle gangs. After this I'm sure Max will be presented as a witness from Axel's side. But, if we can go faster, we can get Max on our side" Kenzie said.
Aletta looks tired. "Can it be like that?"
Kenzie nodded. "Yes, we can ask Dioneel for help, please,"
However, if what Kenzie said was true and the judge had been bribed, then there was no hope for them.
Dioneel came in when they were done. "Sorry, I'm late. My stupid assistant I can't count on at all! How'd it go?"
"In the delay," replied Aletta limp..
"Huh? Postponed? Why?" ask Dioneel.
Aletta and Kenzie took turns recounting the contents of the trial that day. And Dioneel had the same conclusion as Kenzie. "Alleged bribery practices. Crazy one! The law was bought by him!"
Kenzie also informs Dioneel of his plans to get Max to their side. "You can get close to Max?"
"That's hard. Max is loyal and he doesn't change easily. When he decides to serve one person, he will do it until death" Dioneel replied. Then, he seemed to remember something. "Wait first! After all, Max defected because there was a difference of opinion with Axel and he formed another group with him being the leader, Shadow Speed! Yeah, that's the name of his new motorcycle club!"
Aletta and Kenzie held hands and quickly, Dioneel separated their hands. "Hold my hand!"
"Can you suckle?" ask Kenzie.
Dioneel thought for a moment. It's a bit risky actually infiltrating into a biker gang driven by someone who has the intention to master and take revenge.
The man hesitated a little. He tapped his finger on the table. "Difficult. What's Max's role in the trial?"
"Witnesses. I'm sure Axel is also racking his brain to recruit some motorcycle gang members as witnesses" Aletta said quickly.
Dioneel nodded his head. He was thinking the same thing as Aletta. "Yes, that's for sure. Even he would pour some money just to recruit paid witnesses,"
"I'll try to contact Javas and Kevin to help me spy on Shadow Speed and once I get a report on Max's new gang, I dare infiltrate it" Dioneel said.
However, Kenzie and Aletta shook their heads together and this made Dioneel again upset. How could they do something in unison like that?
"Why are you shaking your head? You disagree with my plan?" demand Dioneel cut.
"Time will not be enough. We have to move fast" Aletta replied.
Kenzie agreed. "Yes, we have to move before Axel moves,"
"When is the second trial held?" ask Dioneel.
"Lusa" replied Kenzie.
Dioneel. "The deer? Do we have enough time to do all that? All right, tonight meet at Aletta's. I'm going to headquarters. Wait for news from me!" The man then looked at Aletta before leaving. "And you, Letta, don't get too close to this one cicada! I don't like it!" dioneel said jealous.
