At this moment, Will's uncle stared at Madeleine, threatening her. If she refused, he would really dare to kill her.
The Cromwell family is not a wealthy family for thousands of years, but it is also a long-established aristocracy that has been inherited in Britannia for thousands of years. It has always been in the inner circle and holds part of the say. Especially after relying on Ouni and becoming a rear party, its status has been straight.
rising.
When they reached the level of a great noble, they no longer lacked money. What they valued more was face. If Toffee stopped performing, the Cromwell family would become the laughing stock of the entire upper class society.
"whispering sound!"
Madeleine was too lazy to talk nonsense and just raised her middle finger, extremely domineering.
"Oh yeah, Aunt Madeleine is so cool!"
Walnut cheered, and then learned to show her middle fingers.
"Madeline, I give you one last chance to get those actors ready quickly, otherwise you will never leave London again!"
The uncle gritted his teeth, no matter it is a country or a wealthy family, glory is never defended with money, but with steel, blood, and will!
The surrounding area of the Moulin Rouge seemed to have been swept by a polar cold current and was instantly frozen. The guests who were watching the conflict between the two sides did not dare to breathe.
"Trash, you actually threatened our leader?" Pippen bumped his fists and walked out with a ferocious smile, "Also, is our leader's name something that a bastard like you is qualified to call?" Wucuo Novel Network
Don’t skip words.
"Kill him and hang him under the street lamp!"
The uncle ordered harshly, but even a servant dared to choke with him. He really didn't know how to live or die.
"careful!"
Hu Tao reminded because she felt that there was an invisible assassin lurking around, waiting for an opportunity.
call out!
The order was issued, and there was an immediate sound of sharp blades breaking through the wind.
Pippen grinned, half-turned around with force from his waist, and blasted out his right fist like a pile driver.
boom!
The invisible assassin was hit. His whole head exploded, blood and skulls flew everywhere, and then the headless body fell over and rolled down the steps.
There was a sound of gasping, because they discovered that the servant's strength was at least that of a generalissimo. At this level, it was no longer just money to hire him. He was willing to be loyal. So what is the origin of Madeleine?
"Hey, let your subordinates come out. It's been a long time since I killed anyone, and my hands are raw!"
Pippen stuck out his rough tongue, licked the blood from his fist, and looked at his uncle provocatively.
"Kill him for me!"
The uncle was furious because the other person looked at him like he was looking at a dead dog. That kind of lofty and overlooking look was completely unacceptable to him who had always been bossy.
"Isn't it dirty? Get out of here!"
Madeline kicked Pippin in the thigh and told him to get out.
"hey-hey!"
Pippen was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he avoided it with a smile, and his respectful look made a large group of guests stunned.
"Hey, what grievances do you have? Send them to me!"
Downton walked out and stood in front of Madeleine. After all, the leader stopped the performance to support himself. If he caused trouble, he was responsible for settling it.
"If you say you won't act, you won't act. The compensation of 50 million is not enough, so I'll give you 100 million!"
Sissi spoke, which made her uncle very afraid, because the force she represented was too powerful and they couldn't afford to offend her.
"Downton, do you really think our family is afraid of you?"
Will sarcastically said that this guy is a bit quick-witted. This proves that they did not take action in the end because they were worried about Sissy, not Downton.
"Toffee is a big theater company. If you break your promise and stop performing, it will be bad for your reputation if word spreads."
Rockefeller always grasped the essence of the problem, but he did not consider Madeleine's character.
"Even if I disband the troupe, I won't perform for rubbish. Do you hear me clearly?" Madeleine said one word at a time, "You are not worthy!"
The guests were very curious as to what kind of relationship Downton and Madeleine had that made each other so protective.
"Is it a lover?"
Some men couldn't help but swallowed when they looked at the female group leader, who was dressed in a leather outfit, with her buttocks and breasts tightly outlined into perfect lines. This woman was stunning both in appearance and temperament.
"Let's go back and have tea!"
Madeleine left in a really resolute manner. You must know that it was a threat from a big noble. In the end, in her eyes, it was not even worth a frown.
"Haha, I'm laughing so hard. Master Downton is the playwright our leader values the most. If you don't respect him, you disrespect our leader. Who will perform for you?"
Pippin despised those subordinates who wanted to take action, but his glance was like a sharp blade, making them frightened for a moment and unable to move at all.
"Downton, hurry up!"
Madeline stood on the street and greeted Downton, but Homer, who was thoughtful, noticed that others would greet Sissy when they saw her, but Madeline and Lorraine had no intention of striking up a conversation.
"Who are they?"
Homer was puzzled. Madeleine had a strong temperament of a queen. She always looked down at people. On her head, she seemed to be wearing a crown that had conquered the entire continent. In addition to the temperament of a literary girl, Lorraine also had the temperament of a literary girl.
There is an air of emptiness and purity, and everyone seems to be infected by her emotions, crying because of her, and laughing because of her laughter.
The departure of Downton and his entourage was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face. The face of the Cromwell family was swollen. Many big-name opera troupes came to the Midsummer Eve Festival. Toffee did not want to perform. They wanted more
Not to mention the favor of Duke Cromwell, but the final result was disappointing.
No one was in the mood to watch the opera. They were all discussing this sudden conflict. In addition to being envious of Sissi's love for Downton, they were even more amazed that he was a literary master.
Being able to write so many classic operas and perform in the first movie in the Western Continent, even though Downton is only thirty years old, some people have already given him the title of literary giant.
Versatile, young and rich, with a high position of authority, Downton has climbed from a grassroots to his current position. Downton is now the idol of countless civilians and the dream lover of thousands of girls.
Of course, the news that Downton is the illegitimate son of King Henry also began to make noise, especially Queen Oni's silence, which made people want to know the inside story even more.
The next morning, a prosecutor came to notify Downton and asked him to appear in court as a witness.
"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? Don't go!"
Sissi was very upset.
"Since you gave up, no matter what the result is, please don't complain!"
The prosecutor reminded.
"You threaten me?"
Downton came over after hearing the news and looked unhappy.
"I don't dare. After every judgment, some people will be dissatisfied. Your reputation is too great, and what you say will affect too many people's judgments."
The prosecutor was complimentary, but in reality it was a threat.
"I go!"
"don't want!"
Sissi stopped, "This is definitely a counterattack by the Cromwell family, otherwise why would the trial be so quick?"
"You misunderstood, we can't detain an earl for too long!"
The prosecutor is neither humble nor silent.
"Stop fighting!"
Downton seeks justice for the kidnapped girls.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of reporters were waiting outside the First Court. All newspapers in London sent their troops, and even magazines that published third-rate books and periodicals came to join in the fun.
Downton is the biggest hit right now. People like to hear about him. Even if it is the brand of paper used in the toilet, they are curious.
"Downton is coming!"
A carriage arrived, and someone immediately shouted in surprise.
"Where is it?"
"Are you blind? What's hanging on the car is clearly the royal emblem of Bavaria!"
"Nonsense, Sissi must be here with Downton."
The journalists were noisy and crowded towards the roadside, waiting for the interview.
Crunch!
The carriage stopped. The driver immediately moved the horse stool, but Downton opened the door and got out.
"Your Excellency Downton, I would like to interview you!"
"What do you think of the nobles' involvement in the kidnapping? If it was slander, are you willing to accept the punishment? And apologize to Count Hassell?"
"When will you and the princess get married?"
"I heard that His Highness Di Lanxue and you are lovers, what do you think of this? Do you think you have the qualifications to challenge Heinrich?" Wuyou Novel Network does not skip words.
The reporters asked all kinds of questions, some of which were so tricky that they made people want to vomit blood in embarrassment.
"excuse me!"
Thyssen swarmed up with the Krupp Giant. He pushed the reporters away and created a passage.
"I told you not to come!"
Downton hates this environment.
"We are your family and friends!"
Sissi has long been used to it.
In the court, reporters occupied half of the seats, followed by family members of some victims, as well as civilian representatives, noble representatives, and representatives of the Holy See.
Because Downton is a witness and a whistleblower, he has to wait in the surveillance room for summons, so he doesn't know what the process will be like.
After about an hour, an inspector showed up.
"Your Excellency Downton, it's time for you to testify in court."
Downton walked into the court and found that the situation was not good. Hassell was sitting in the dock with an arrogant look on his face, while Hu Tao and Elian both looked angry.
"Witness, please state your name, gender, age, and identity!"
The judge announced.
"Damn it, these people really want to make things difficult for Downton."
Sissi was very angry. As a witness, this kind of information does not need to be stated in court. Now doing this makes Downton look like a prisoner.
"Please state!"
The judge's face was full of seriousness and he looked very decent.
“Now it’s up to the defendant’s lawyer to ask questions!”
After Downton finished speaking, the judge announced, and the lawyer with a mustache immediately stood up.
"Lord Downton, so you didn't see Hassell commit the crime with your own eyes?"
"The kidnapper admitted it."
Downton explained.
"I'm asking you, please answer if you have any?"
The lawyer interrupted Downton.
"No!"
Downton's answer made Elaine and the others nervous. Her brother was definitely no match for these barristers.
In this verbal confrontation, Downton went to the disadvantage, and Hassell smiled more and more happily.
"I extracted the soul of a kidnapper, and the soul information will not be fake!"
Downton retorted.
"Ah, so cruel, but Mr. Downton, soul messages cannot be used as evidence." The lawyer shrugged his shoulders and shook his head regretfully, "Your Honor, I have finished asking."
"The court is adjourned now. The result will be announced in ten minutes!"
The jury left and discussions took place backstage.
"what happened?"
Downton asked.
"Trouble is, the kidnappers insisted that they were members of the Brotherhood and had nothing to do with Hasel. Moreover, the victims also pointed the finger at the Brotherhood and did not mention Hasel at all."
Elaine was very anxious.
"If Hassell hasn't settled things after so many days, he is no longer worthy of being a count."
Downton was not surprised at all.
"The question now is, he will acquit you and then accuse you of violent assault!"
Sissy frowned. With Downton's status, the most he could be fined was a small amount of money, but his reputation would be ruined and he would be stained for the rest of his life.
While waiting anxiously, the court reopened.
"After the unanimous decision of the jury, Earl Hassell was not guilty and was released in court." The judge paused, then continued, "Downton was convicted by Hassell for five crimes including intentional injury, breaking into the house at night, etc.
The Earl of Er accuses you!"
Wow!
The whole place was in an uproar, and all the reporters' Divi Crystals were aimed at Downton, wanting to see his attitude.
"quiet!"
The judge banged the hammer hard to silence the courtroom.
"The verdict is now, Downton apologizes to Earl Hassell in court!"
The judge spoke righteously.
"These people are crazy!"
Hutao suddenly stood up, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to hit someone.
"calm!"
Sissi hugged Hutao and said, "Don't make things worse."
"Haha, I told you before that I am innocent. It's you, the mad dog, who bites people!"
Hassell walked up to Downton, lit a cigar, pointed at Downton's nose and cursed.
Downton ignored him and looked at the girls he rescued. They heard the testimonies of the kidnappers, but this time, no one spoke.
The girls were so ashamed that they avoided Downton's sight.
"Civilians are civilians. Even if you put on the coat of a noble, you can't enter our circle." Hassell came closer to Downton and stared into his eyes. "We have the final say on how to play this world. It's us.
Making rules!"
"The iron fist of justice will crush everything!"
Downton retorted.
"Haha, justice? That kind of thing is the toilet paper of those in power, something that can be thrown away after use!" Hassel laughed arrogantly, "I am the bad guy, but can you punish me?" Wuyou Novel Network did not
Jump word.
Downton looked at Hassell.
"Not convinced? Then bite me!"
Hassell blew out a puff of smoke at Downton and snorted coldly, "Apologise to me, loudly, and you reporters, record this scene for me. This is the number one general in the north, Frankfurt's new recruit."
The master apologized to me. This scene is definitely the most glorious moment for our family!"
Needless to say, Hassell said that reporters’ Divi Crystals were already aimed at Downton.
"Apologize?"
Downton asked rhetorically.
"don't want!"
Sissi stopped her. At this time, she must hold on, otherwise once she admits it, it will be confirmed that Downton was at fault.
"Hurry up, my little lover is still waiting for me to go back and pamper her! Lucky for her!"
Hassell urged.
"Then hold your head high and raise your chin!"
Downton scoffed.
"Haha, you're right!"
Hassel crossed his arms and said, "I hate your height. Come on, bend down and bow!"
Under the attention of the whole audience, Downton smiled suddenly, then pulled back his right arm, and like a long bow under the full moon, he shot out quickly with a bang!
boom!
Hassell, who was punched on the chin, spun around, knocking chairs along the way, and the air was filled with his blood-stained teeth.
"Since the courts of Britannia cannot administer justice, let me do it!"
In the silent court, Downton glanced at the whole court with an unparalleled look, his steely voice echoed, deafening! (To be continued...)
