Chapter 737

~5 min read 981 words

The case has been dragged out for a whole year and still hasn't been closed.

As soon as Qin Yu said this, it instantly blew up on the internet.

Qin Yu's fans, along with the internet army organized by Warner, began to mobilize.

It quickly hit the trending searches on Twitter; if Qin Yu hadn't mentioned it, they really would have forgotten.

Did this betting company really take the money?

"Damn it, did this bunch of bastards really take the money? If Qin hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten."

"That's right, the betting company is going too far. Don't think we don't know; hurry up."

"Bitch, it must be like this. I suggest an immediate investigation; these guys definitely took bribes."

"..."

"I agree. The betting company must have bribed the court officials, otherwise how could it have dragged on for so long?"

"..."

You have to admit, the American public is indeed quite naive.

They soon began organizing protests, and the Los Angeles court was surrounded.

Many people held up banners for democracy and against the betting companies.

It's just a protest.

They are all used to it.

However, many people at the Los Angeles court were dumbfounded; how shameless!

Bribery, that's right, we did indeed take the benefits.

But who gave these benefits is not necessarily certain.

Qin, you guy are quite good at the thief shouting "stop thief."

If it weren't for the generous benefits, believe it or not, we would have ruled against you.

Piss you off.

Two days later.

It seemed like the court couldn't withstand the pressure from the protesters, and on June 20th, they announced the start of the trial.

This time, the Los Angeles Supreme Court broadcast the whole process live.

The lawyers on Qin Yu's side and the lawyers led by MGM engaged in a war of words; the grand drama lasted for over five hours.

More than a dozen lawyers took turns on the stand.

The various legal articles left the public confused, but it felt very impressive and professional.

The ratings were quite high.

Many people around the world chose to watch this live broadcast.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it; just treat it as a performance.

Five hours later, after deliberation by the judge and the jury, a final ruling was made.

The American betting companies led by MGM were to compensate Qin Yu, Warner Bros., and Fox for defamation.

Mental distress fees, infringement fees, and a whole bunch of other things.

It added up to a total of 23.5 million US dollars.

………………

PS: The third update has arrived.

Please vote!

373 Excited public, justice triumphs over evil, enough to go down in history, trouble finally arrives, Thor 3 snipes Pirates of the Caribbean!

Once this was said, the betting companies led by MGM were unhappy and stated they would appeal.

Their expressions were very angry.

The judge didn't even pay attention to these guys.

Acting quite convincingly, an appeal?

Appeal my ass.

This performance should come to an end.

Global betting companies collected over 20 billion in gambling funds; if it weren't for the fact that you gave~ so much.

Believe it or not, we would make you spit it all out.

However, an appeal isn't impossible, but the things you gave last time can only go this far.

If you want to appeal.

Then you have to pay more...

The trial ended, and Qin Yu, Steve, Bella, and others all hugged each other.

Everyone performed joy from the bottom of their hearts.

The public watching the live broadcast were the same; many were cheering at home.

Celebrating.

They believed this was a story of justice triumphing over evil; the betting companies had been running rampant for decades.

Now they have finally been sanctioned.

Not only did they lose the lawsuit, but they also had to pay so much money.

A layer of oil was scraped off their betting bodies.

This is destined to go down in history!!

Some cheering members of the public even took to the streets.

Everyone started celebrating together.

Don't say, the court side was actually quite happy to hear this news.

This should be a four-win situation.

Qin Yu won; not only did he promote his new movie, but he also got a hefty compensation, and this is just in the US.

There are many in other countries too.

The court also won; not only did they get good things, but they also gained public support.

It counts as a political achievement for future elections.

Did the betting companies lose? Lose my ass.

They made a fortune, okay? Now betting companies all over the world have collected over 20 billion in gambling funds.

Just based on the minimum profit.

10 percent.

They can also earn 2 billion US dollars.

This is still the minimum; generally, it's more than 10 percent.

They can earn billions.

Lose, lose my ass.

The little money paid to Qin Yu is just a fraction.

Finally, there is the public; they are also happy. Justice triumphs over evil, what a wonderful story.

Although it was just a performance, who cares.

The US side doesn't care anyway.

The truth is sometimes not important at all.

People will only believe what they believe.

……

For a time, the news of Qin Yu's victory spread throughout the world.

Everyone was happy, except for some people who were not happy.

There are plenty of discerning people in Hollywood who had long guessed that this was a shameless hype.

This hype is actually similar to the movie 2012 released a few years ago.

At that time, quite a few people were fooled by the movie into thinking the end of the world was really coming.

They even swore by it and added many labels, like Mayan prophecies.

Like solar flare activity that only happens once every few hundred years, etc. ~
