Chapter 975 Special Duel

Marquis Porter: I'm afraid that won't work, my Lord. The law does not apply retroactively. This is an unshakable principle.

George III: Is there no other way to uphold justice and appease public anger?

Marquis Porter: There are ways, but they are controversial. Lord Wenders has entrusted his agent to apply to the Circuit Court for a judicial duel with Jack Favre to settle the grievances between the two parties. But as you know, the legal community has always hated judicial duels, especially duels initiated by the two parties in the lawsuit for jealousy.

George III: How can a husband who has been insulted and damaged, who was almost framed and imprisoned by his wife's lover, and whose title and property were almost stolen by his illegitimate child, be simply described as "jealousy"? I don't want to listen to the empty talk of scholars. I am more interested in how pragmatic judges view this matter.

Marquis Porter: As far as I know, the presiding judge George Colt and his colleagues intend to vote on whether to make special concessions for this case and approve a judicial duel between the two parties involved.

Marquis Porter: Your Majesty, please allow me to explain that even if the judges pass this motion by a majority vote, due to its special nature, it cannot be used as a case for similar cases that may occur in the future, otherwise it will be meaningless for us to amend the law on adultery.

George III: I understand your painstaking efforts, my dear. If the court approves the judicial duel, I think that as a former cavalry officer, if there is still a trace of shame and honor, Favell should personally appear to fight. As for Lord Wenders, he is just a thin literati and has a disability. I am afraid it is inconvenient for him to fight in person.

Marquis Porter: In fact, Lord Wenders has hired a duel agent, Mr. Musk Justice, who became famous at a young age.

George III: My dear, you specifically mentioned the name of this young man in front of me, and I think you are very optimistic about him.

Marquis Porter: Frankly speaking, my majesty, I don't know this Mr. Justice, but he is a friend of my son Paul, who admires his business ability and noble character.

George III: I hope your son is not wrong.

(The conversation between the king and the minister ends here)

The record of the conversation between His Majesty the King and the Minister of Justice, once published in the newspaper, has already shown the inclination of the court and the cabinet.

Should the agents of Jack Favre and Maxim Wenders be specially approved to hold a judicial duel?

After a whole day of intense discussion in the Avalon Circuit Court, thirteen judges participated in the vote.

The final result was seven votes to six, and the judicial duel was approved.

Judge Colt cast a key vote in favor.

The day after the voting results came out, Musk was in his office reading the comments of major newspapers on the matter. At this time, Lisa walked into the office with a basket of flowers in her hand.

"Oh! Honey, thank you for sending me flowers!" Musk took the flower basket from his fiancee. "I am very touched, but I also feel pressure. If I lose the duel this weekend, I will be sorry for this flower basket full of love and blessings."

"Alas... you are a person who loves to be sentimental!" Lisa sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Honey, I'm so sorry, this flower basket is not bought by me."

"Ah? This..."

Musk was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head to check the flower basket, and took out a letter and a card from the big bush of sunflower lilies.

The envelope was signed by the Marquis of Porter.

The card read "I wish Brother Musk a successful start", and the signature was: All colleagues in the club.

"Musk, this flower basket was given to you by a club, but it didn't specify which club it was from. Don't you think it's strange?" Lisa smiled and said meaningfully, "Unless this club is not allowed to be seen in public."

Musk has only joined two clubs in total, one is the "Avalon Law Club" and the other is the "Hellfire Club" with Paul Porter as the introducer.

The Law Club is a typical elite circle. Its members are all well-known figures in the legal industry and have a certain influence in the judicial and even political circles.

Becoming a member of the Law Club is an honor and a symbol of social status. It can be printed on business cards openly, and everyone wants to know about it. How can it be not allowed to be seen in public?

On the contrary, the "Hellfire Club" is not allowed to be seen in public.

Although most of the members of the club come from the powerful class and their influence is even higher than that of the Law Club, the club's main purpose is to engage in pornography, drink heavily and ridicule current affairs, which is not tolerated by secular morality and is of course not convenient to publicize.

"I guess... this flower basket was probably sent by friends from the Hellfire Club." Musk said with a stiff face.

"Isn't the Hellfire Club's favorite activity to gather those dissolute noble men and women to have sex?" Lisa sneered and mocked, "Isn't it too heartless for the 'Adultery Club' to add insult to injury to an adulterer who was once one of them?"

"My dear, you can't say that." Musk argued with a stiff face: "The Hellfire Club is indeed a gathering for promiscuity, but these activities that violate secular morality must be based on the principle of mutual consent. Both husband and wife play with each other, and there is no deception or betrayal. The affair between Favor and Rebecca broke this unspoken rule."

"What is even more intolerable is that Favre and Rebecca tried to use their illegitimate son to steal the title and property of the Wenders family and cut off the blood inheritance of the Wenders family. This is the deepest hatred of the upper class. conspiracy."

"The dignitaries of the Hellfire Club will break into a cold sweat when they think that the same conspiracy may happen to them. Of course they are happy to lend me my hand to clean up the door."

"What you said is not unreasonable. However, I remember that since the last time you stood up for Captain Dreyfus and defeated Henry Frame, a member of the Hellfire Club, in the duel, you have offended this circle. You will no longer Why did they suddenly change their stance and take the initiative to show their kindness to you?" Lisa asked doubtfully.

Musk thought for a while and guessed: "Maybe Paul Porter said some good words for me in the club, which made everyone change their view of me."

"First of all, I have to admit that Mr. Potter is a very good friend. If he hadn't put in a good word for you in front of his father, the Minister of Justice, your name would not have appeared in the conversation between His Majesty the King and the Minister of Justice. Once After seeing the news, he immediately became a celebrity."

"But having said that, I really hate this voluptuous and rotten circle of Hellfire Club! My dear, even if they extend an olive branch to you, don't go to that kind of obscene party again, okay?" Li Sha held her fiancé's hand, her eyes full of anticipation.
