Chapter 25: The court date has begun
Time passed quickly. Next Sunday came again.
It's been three weeks since Madana got power and became a hero. Only a few days left to complete the month. American universities have annual exams every April. New York University of Technology also has that timetable. Today is the 21st and the exam starts on the 28th, so it's exactly next week. Even though Madana has a higher IQ than normal people, she's been re-reading his schoolwork because she's a little worry. On other hand, she don't have to go to work anymore.
Yesterday, She got a call from General manager, Freya. The trial production process has been completed, so the factories will start to be built. The uniforms are expected to be produced within three months, and the New York Police Department alone has ordered more than two thousand kits. Almost tens of thousands of them can be sold nationwide, and some other allied countries are also interested in purchasing these uniforms. But the government classifies these suits as military-grade armor and cannot be sold without permission. Even for the entire World Hero Association, less than five thousand pieces of armor are allowed to be sold.
But the profits are still enough for Madana and the Paladin Cooperation.
At the moment, Madana, who was wearing armor, was skillfully cutting vegetables with a knife. She has never cooked before, but with the help of the suit's system, it's not too difficult.
She download a recipe video. Then just use the automatic learning program of the artificial intelligence system in the suit. After that, the suit started moving on its own.
"Lisa...do you like less salt or more?"
"Take it easy, Dad."
Even though Lisa knows Madana in the armor is a girl, she is deliberately starting to upset Linda by calling Silver Knight as Dad. Linda squinted at Lisa.
"Daughter, don't trust a man who can't tell what kind of figure he is under a strange suit."
Linda used to say the same thing over and over again to discipline her daughter. After a while, Madana's cooking was finished. Fried cabbage egg and hot rice. There is a little bit of pepper and it has a sweet smell. The golden scrambled eggs and crispy green cabbage are tempting to eat. Hot rice is also something to eat. She was Asian, so he deliberately cooked for Linda and Lisa.
After adding a little rice and a little cabbage to the two rice bowls, she opened her suit mask a little before anyone saw her and tasted the fried cabbage.
"Oon..." Sweetness. It's not too salty, so it's good to eat lightly. Although he cooks with the help of the system, she does not dare to make dishes that are too difficult. Sometimes, even cooking while looking at the book, the taste is not good. On a day like today, she cannot do the mistake at all cost.
When she thought about the matter of being able to do everything with a suit, Madana even started thinking about Jackie Chan's movie The Tuxedo. If you think about it, Silver Knight is even more stupid than Jane Tom.
Madana put the armor mask back on and smiled inwardly. If that's enough to win the trust of little daughter and the trust of the police mother, isn't it?
After the dishes were put down, Madana went to a seat around the table. Linda didn't really believe in the silver knight's work, but after one spoonful, her eyes lit up.
"Un...I don't think the Silver Knight is a good home cook."
"So soft." Madana gave a thumbs up.
Lisa looked away while smelling the curry.
"Dad... Is this really edible?"
"Well... you can eat it."
"Yeah... the width is pretty bad." Lisa put some rice and some curry into the spoon and smelled it again.
"Girl, You shouldn't too silly about food" When Linda came in, Lisa didn't refuse and looked at it.
"Um... Very Sweet, I don't think you can eat that well."
Medana also thought that Lisa had never eaten rice and curry, so she didn't care about that matter anymore. Lisa ate quite a lot. Even two bowls of rice are gone.
Linda folded her arms and looked at the silver warrior in front of her.
"If you're suing the Sakura Group, be careful. They have underground connections."
"Well...actually, there's another Mutant helping out besides me. Don't worry too much." Madana said to Linda as she stretched her back. Linda shook her head.
"Is that mutant powerful?"
"Weaker than me."
"Then it's best to give up on this case. This kind of case is not something that an unlicensed C level can handle."
"I'm not C rank." Medana replied as she spread her arms. Yes, Madana is currently a B-. If she get the money form the suit technology, it's not too difficult to upgrade to A.
"It doesn't matter. My father is very powerful. Even a daughter of him, me can handle the Sakura Clan, hum!..."
Lisa said confidently. She was confident. Except the fact that Lisa still couldn't control her own power, she was a B level Mutant. Not even a low B-. A real B level.
"I think you're a C rank. If not, what's up?"
Just in time, Madana greets Linda and takes Lisa to school. But Linda, in a police uniform, follow Madana.
"Hey officer, are you off duty today?"
"Today is a holiday." Linda said. Madana scratched her head...
"I've never heard of the police having a day off. It depends on the manpower of the camp, isn't it?"
"I'm the commander of the field police station. I'm not coming today because I'm not feeling well, so I can tell the lieutenant that I'll just handle it. The station commander doesn't need to take leave. If the duty is full percent."
"Hey...that's not ethical. But why?" Madana looked at Linda in disbelief.
Linda looked at her with her arms folded again. "It's because I don't trust you. What if the Sakura gang cuts you off while you're going to court?"
"If you say that, you're even weaker than me. Your mutant ability is not something that can use in battle. You will tell them like that? *Mr. Yakuza, I'm a pretty woman. So, please be gentle*"
dong!.....
As soon as Madana finished speaking, Linda's foot was already kicking her ass.
"Wait..." 'Dammit! I'm glad I'm still wearing a suit. If not, she will know I'm a girl. I should care about reasoning when I speech in the futrue.' Madana thought in panic.
As for Linda, it looked like she got hurt from kicking the thick Zect Steel Plates. She was leaning on the wall next to the elevator that hadn't opened yet, holding her leg.
"You bastard, have you stolen my files again?"
So after sending little Lisa to school, the two of them have come to the county court. The case is too big to be handled by the provincial court. The county court is a 24/7 court and is not closed on weekends like other criminal courts.
When they arrived, Lady Butterfly, dressed as a hero, was leaning against a pillar of the marble court building.
"Hey, Lady Butterfly. No margrat?"
"Margrat advised me to come. A hero's words can reach more than a reporter who lost her job at court."
Linda came up next to Silver Knight and looked at Lady Butterfly. Hers look is a big one.
"Hey, little girl, do you think I'm a threat because you're so close to me?"
"Phew..." Lady Butterfly's repeated words made Linda feel like she was spitting.
"Lady Butterfly...this is my friend Officer Linda. Linda...this is my colleague Lady Butterfly."
Madana introduced to the two strangers as was the etiquette. When the two arrived, the journalists who were huddled elsewhere ran towards them.
"Sir Silver Knight, people are saying that you are among the lawsuits against the Sakura Company. But for what, the building collapse case? Shouldn't that be filed by the Department of Construction?"
Madana waved his arms and asked them to be quiet for a moment. After that, he answered the questions as he had practiced from earlier.
"The prosecution of the Sakura group is not just that one case. It's for the many cases they committed. It's for silencing witnesses, erasing evidence, lying, taking bribes, and doing underground business in gangs."
"Sir...but because there is evidence? Even though there are people who have sued the Sakura group before, they just want to get money."
"The evidence is there, we will present it to the court. We will not take any money. We are only interested in sending the culprit to jail."
The interview ended with an Asian man properly dressed in western clothing and some bodyguards arriving. The Asian youth who seemed to be the leader of those who came to them looked at the Silver Knight.
"The person who sued me is the one who came to see me. Is it Sir Silver Knight? It's impossible not to look at the great sword behind you. Since we in the Yamaguchi family are fans of swords, we want to try which one is better in Western and Eastern swordsmanship."
"If you don't go to jail by laws, you'll have to face it."
"Uh oh... Can this be considered a threat from the hero to an ordinary person?"
Aizawa questioned in a nonchalant manner. He held a pink towel in his hand and wiped his hands carefully. After that, he shot the towel to the beautiful secretary standing behind him.
"A hero I respect once said. If you can't solve it by legal means, you can solve it with your fists."
"I think you're talking about Mr.justice. But he's an A rank. Do you think a C rank unlicensed hero like you has a chance?" Aizawa narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Uh-huh... Then we can assume that Mr. Aizawa has admitted to having committed the crime himself?" Madana also answered using the words.
"I can't, words are words, aren't they, Sir Silver Knight," Aizawa chuckled with a very pleased laugh.
Medana looked at the young man incomprehensibly. It shows who the young man is through his system.
[Aizawa Yamaguchi
Age: 23 years.
Power: World of Swords View; Cherry Sword World.
Profile (Official): Regional General Manager for the US Sakura Group.
Profile (illegal): New York Branch Leader of Sakura Yakuza Gang.
Case files related to this: 79.]
There are three cases involving Aizawa himself, two of which are the destruction of girls. But he could not sue since the girl he put his dirty hands were satisfied with compensation. One was murder and was acquitted because there were no witnesses. There are many other cases like that involving the Sakura group, but not himself.
Madana smiled crookedly. She sneaked into the FBI server last night and downloaded all the files, not bad. By identifying the signs they often use when they commit a shooting, they can relate it to some of the previous cases and make it more serious. And there are still a lot of things she has tried herself.
After a while, the large wooden doors of the courthouse opened, and everyone involved in the case and those who would be heard were invited to enter.
Madana went ahead, leading her men. As she got the idea, she turned around and saw that Lady Butterfly's neck was wet with sweat.
"She must have been very scared when I had a debate with Aizawa. This girl..."
Margrat is a weak girl pretending to be brave. No matter how Lady Butterfly pretends to be different from Margrat, Madana's suit AI system show the truth by observing small behaviors of her.
