No words were exchanged throughout the night, and morning of the second day arrived.
The courtroom of the State Tax Bureau in Sparks was located in the city bureau of the Eastern District State Tax Bureau.
"Good morning, everyone. It's now 8:30 AM, and there are 30 minutes left before the trial begins. Everyone, please look forward to it..."
Early in the morning, local media channels had arrived at the venue early to stake out their positions and were broadcasting live updates of the situation.
Soon after, officials from the city hall, the Eastern District, the West City State Tax Bureau, and some invited dignitaries from Sparks City also arrived at the scene, mingling in the lobby.
In the parking area, David and his two companions also stepped out and made their way into the lobby.
Richards Hopkins and the others had arrived early. Upon seeing David's arrival, they immediately came up to greet him.
