Chapter 3 Forged Justice, Full Property Recovery
1512 Words
The heavy rain finally subsided at midnight, leaving the whole neighborhood washed clean, yet the messy farce of the day lingered in everyone’s memory.
Leo Howard did not dare to leave immediately after Carter returned to the rental house. He stood stiffly beside his sports car, cold sweat soaking through his custom shirt, his previous arrogance completely gone, replaced by bone-deep panic.
Sophia stood aside in a daze, her glamorous makeup ruined by the damp night breeze. She kept replaying Carter’s cold, indifferent eyes and his confident words in her mind, and endless regret gnawed at her heart.
She had always thought Carter was a powerless orphan who could only struggle at the bottom of society. But today, this man she abandoned had suddenly become unfathomable, possessing a terrifying ability that ordinary people could not comprehend.
“Leo… what do we do now?” Sophia’s voice trembled, completely losing her previous arrogance. “He knows the Howard Group’s secret crisis. What if he really destroys our family?”
Leo took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but his hands still shook slightly. “Don’t panic. He’s just bluffing. A kid with no background, no connections and no power can’t shake the Howard family’s foundation overnight. He just got a little money, that’s all.”
Though he spoke firmly, Leo knew clearly in his heart that he was merely comforting himself. The sense of crisis brought by Carter was far more terrifying than any opponent he had ever encountered.
Early the next morning, the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell on the bustling Hudson City.
Lin Carter walked out of the shabby rental house neatly dressed. Compared with the down-and-out youth of yesterday, his whole temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes. His brows were sharp, his bearing calm, and every move exuded the poise of a superior.
He glanced at the court summons placed on the table last night, a cold sneer flickering on his lips.
His uncle’s family dared to forge documents, embezzle his parents’ inheritance, and even sue him for unreasonable occupation. They relied entirely on the fact that Carter had no evidence, no connections, and no ability to fight back.
Unfortunately for them, Carter now possessed the God-Grade Perspective Eyes and Omnipotent Scholar legal proficiency. All their hidden crimes and fraudulent loopholes were completely exposed to him.
Half an hour later, a luxury black business car stopped steadily at the entrance of the old community.
The driver in a formal suit got out of the car respectfully and opened the door. This was the top private lawyer Carter hired overnight with his system reward funds.
“Mr. Carter, all the legal procedures are ready. We have received feedback from the judicial bureau that your reported fraud case has been officially filed for investigation.” The lawyer handed over the official documents with a solemn tone.
Carter nodded slightly and sat in the back seat. “Head to the court first. Today, I will take back everything that belongs to me, completely and thoroughly.”
At nine o’clock in the morning, the civil dispute court hearing officially opened in Hudson Municipal Court.
As soon as Carter stepped into the court hall, he saw his uncle’s family sitting on the plaintiff’s seat, looking arrogant and triumphant.
His uncle, Thomas Carter, a middle-aged man with a greasy face, sat upright with a smug smile on his face. He had spent many years planning to seize his late brother’s mansion, and in his eyes, this property was already firmly in his pocket.
Beside him stood his aunt and cousin, all staring at Carter with disdain and contempt.
“Lin Carter, I advise you to plead guilty honestly. The house property certificate is in our name, and all procedures are complete. You have no evidence at all. If you insist on making trouble, you will only lose the lawsuit and bear all legal costs.” Thomas sneered in a low voice, full of threatening meaning.
His cousin Ashley also mocked loudly: “Cousin, don’t be stubborn. You have no parents, no money and no power. Accept the reality early. That mansion is not something a loser like you can keep.”
Facing the taunts of his relatives, Carter’s face remained calm and unwavering, without the slightest fluctuation of anger.
Ignorance is the most arrogant courage.
They had no idea that their so-called complete procedures and legal certificates were full of fatal flaws, which were enough to sentence them to fraud and illegal occupation of other people’s property.
The judge struck the gavel and the court fell silent instantly.
“The court is now in session. Plaintiff Thomas Carter accuses the defendant Lin Carter of illegally occupying real estate. The plaintiff presents evidence first.”
Thomas immediately submitted the so-called house property certificate, transfer procedures and notarized documents prepared long ago, with a confident expression. “Your Honor, all procedures are legal and valid. This house has been legally transferred to my name. The defendant has no right to occupy it.”
The whole court looked at Carter with pity. In everyone’s opinion, Carter was doomed to lose this lawsuit.
But at this moment, Carter stood up slowly, his voice clear and powerful, echoing in the quiet court hall.
“All the evidence presented by the plaintiff is forged and invalid.”
As soon as this sentence fell, the whole court was in an uproar.
Thomas’s face changed greatly, and he shouted sharply: “You’re talking nonsense! All my documents are officially certified. How can they be forged?”
Carter glanced at him indifferently, and with his Omnipotent Scholar ability, he pointed out dozens of loopholes in an orderly manner, precise and professional, completely surpassing the professional lawyers present.
“First, the signature date of the transfer document conflicts with the official file record, with an obvious time forgery trace. Second, the notarization seal has a subtle pattern error that only internal staff can identify, which is an illegal fake seal. Third…”
Every word was precise, every point hit the core of the fraud.
Carter simultaneously submitted the hidden evidence captured by his God-Grade Perspective Eyes, including the original file traces modified by technical means, the surveillance records of Thomas bribing staff, and the private chat records of their family discussing property embezzlement.
All evidence was ironclad, leaving no room for refutation.
Thomas’s face turned pale instantly, his body trembling violently, and the arrogance on his face completely collapsed.
His family members were all dumbfounded, staring at the overwhelming evidence in disbelief, completely unable to accept the fact that their perfect fraud plan was completely exposed.
The judge checked the evidence one by one, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
After a brief deliberation, the judge struck the gavel heavily.
“After verification, all evidence submitted by the plaintiff has serious falsification problems. The prosecution reason is invalid. The court rules: the real estate belongs to Lin Carter exclusively. Thomas Carter and his family are suspected of fraud and illegal occupation of private property. The case will be transferred to the public security organ for criminal investigation!”
Boom!
The verdict fell like a thunderbolt, completely crushing Thomas’s last hope.
“No! Impossible!” Thomas slumped on the plaintiff’s seat, his face ashen, completely desperate.
They tried to embezzle Carter’s inheritance and frame the innocent, but in the end, they ruined their own future with their own greed.
At the same time, the system’s cold prompt sounded in Carter’s mind again.
【Ding! Host upholds justice, punishes greedy villains, and completes the revenge of property embezzlement!】
【Reward: Advanced Wealth Blessing, 500 million USD credited instantly!】

A new bank message popped up instantly.

Six hundred and ten million dollars!
In just two days, Carter had completed a transformation from a penniless poor graduate to a billionaire!
He stood in the court hall, calm and indifferent, watching his greedy relatives being taken away by judicial staff, facing inevitable criminal punishment.
Justice may be late, but with cheats in hand, he never allows it to be absent.
After leaving the court, the sun shone brightly on Carter’s body.
His first stage of counterattack was successfully completed—taking back his parents’ property and punishing the evil relatives who betrayed his family.
But he knew very well that this was far from the end.
Leo Howard’s family enterprise was on the verge of collapse, and Sophia’s regretful entanglement was still waiting for him to solve.
The road of counterattack was just unfolding, and his legendary journey across mortals, martial arts and myriad worlds was only just beginning.
Carter raised his head, looked at the vast sky, and a faint domineering smile bloomed on his lips.
From now on, the whole Hudson City, and even the whole world, will witness the rise of an omnipotent supreme master!
