Immediately, Hope got up but was pulled down by Elliot. Lance was sitting by the aisle, Elliot was beside him, then Hope, Connor, and then Ed.
"What do you think you're doing?" Elliot asked. "Hope, sit down."
"His daughter is in danger. If we don't save her–"
"Don't act so recklessly. You'll put her in even more danger," Elliot said. "I've done that a couple of times. I promise you, I should know."
Hope slowly relaxed in his seat, understanding Elliot. He looked at the judge and nodded his head, "Thank you for your response, your honor."
"I was quite a playboy back in the day," Jude Benjamin chuckled, eyes pleading to help him. "Anyway, let us continue w-with the trial."
After he rejected the offer, the cloaked man instantly took a dagger and pointed it at the judge's neck. He threatened the man that he will kill his daughter if Georgina Hoot wouldn't be executed.
