"You have quite the balls showing up in the courtroom." said a white haired, probably over 60s, about 6 feet tall and a serious 'dad bod'. However, it didn't change the reality that he was shaking with rage and was on the verge of spitting at Robin. However, a lady who appeared quite young in comparison to the old man present somehow squeezed his hand.
"Sorry! Do I know you?" Robin answered. Of course, he was familiar with the arriving pair. These were the parents of Jenny. Following closely behind them were Toni's parents, who gave Robin an expression that resembled a tiger's more than anything else.
"Why are you here? To mock us?" Toni's mother made a disparaging comment.
"Of course no. This is such a good day. One of the established young generation is going to jail for a long time. They have exploited the US citizens for such a long time. I am sure the justice system would serve the correct punishment to the guilty." With a grin that resembled warm sunshine, Robin said.
Jenny' father who was the first to confront him could not hold it anymore and took a jab at Robin. His upper cut was going to land at chin when suddenly Robin bent his head and upper part of his body like the matrix and he did so in the most elegant and perfect way possible.
There was no way a person could make any kind of contact with him with a punch. In the most insane manner imaginable, he had strengthened his body. In fact, Robin doubted that even if he was shot in point blank range, it would cause any harm to his body. He was at least 50 times more powerful than a typical human being, according to Sigret, who had already measured his body strength, agility and other parameters like reaction time, battle intelligence and other aspects that made him a superior human being. Robin could even fly now. And if he used Blue Beetle suit, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he was mini Superman.
Jenny's father was taken aback by this dodge but he wasn't done with it. He really wanted to hurt Robin, so with his other hand, he punched Robin in the face as he reverted to his initial position. This time, Robin simply grabbed the father of Jenny's hand instead of dodging.
His punch came to an immediate halt there and was unable to continue. He had the impression that he had struck an iron plate that had seized his palm. He tried to withdraw his palm but was unable to. The others were stunned by Jenny's father's response in the meantime. While others stepped forward to prevent Jenny's father from taking any further actions that might endanger the prosecution, Jenny's mother began yanking on his hand.
Robin, from his peripheral vision, saw that some police officers were climbing up the staircase so he immediately let go of the hand. When Jenny's father also noticed this, he turned around and walked directly towards the police.
But as he made his way to the authorities to report that Robin had injured him, he was stopped by another person. Someone came just in between the police and family head of Cox.
That someone was Alexander Cox.
"Alex, back off." Now Jenny's father was even more enraged. Actually all this time, Jenny's father was more angry with Alexander than Robin because he didn't allow him to put a kill order on Robin. Every major family had a rule that any murder or illegal action had to go through the family head.
Alexander just shook and his head pointed at the cameras. The police may have observed Robin holding Jenny's father's knuckles, but he was well aware that if Robin asked them to review the video evidence, Jenny's father would undoubtedly find himself in some trouble.
Alex didn't want his brother's daughter to experience any more trouble at this critical time. When Jenny's father noticed what Alex was looking at, he stopped.

"Is there a problem here?" The policeman was vaguely aware of what had occurred but wanted to know if anyone wished to report it.
"No officer. We are just going to the trial room. Thank you for your concern." Alexander answered. Although Jenny's father wished to speak, his intelligence ultimately won out. After making one notation to Robin, the policeman left the scene. Alexander didn't even stop to look at Robin before turning and walking away.
It was as if he didn't even know Robin existed. Classic example of over confidence! Robin just smiled seeing the arrogance of his and he too made his way to the trial room. Actually, they were unaware of how serious Jenny and Toni's situation was the entire time. None of the families were informed because the arrest warrant was issued with the fewest amount of evidence.
This had happened in the previous case, but since the cases didn't personally hurt them they didn't bother to learn from that mistake. They only believed that these two were apprehended for some minor SEC violations and possibly some tax-related jargon, and that all the minors apprehended in Hawaii tested negative for drugs. Thinking that they weren't really concerned even though they attempted to get in touch with Robin to drop the charges.
"I should have started a blood bath here." Robin heard Sigret whispering in his ear. Without saying anything, Robin simply stared at the woman. Soon everyone was in the courtroom. Each family whose children were apprehended in Hawaii had traveled to the hearing. They would serve as witnesses, so this was necessary.
As a result, the families and their kids had traveled. All except one offspring. The one which belonged the famous Mars family. Evelynn Mars.
All of the families came for trial with their offspring for the witness and for the support. She was actually meant to travel with her family, but her chosen outfit for the trial was ruined. Evidently, the maid had washed the clothes in the washer in the morning so that Evelynn could attend the trial in a tidy dress, but the washer chose to act up and completely ruined the dress.
Evelynn normally wouldn't care and could always choose another among the thousands of dresses in her closet, but she was adamant about picking out that dress. She requested the same outfit over the phone from her tailor.
Fortunately, the tailor had the closest copy of the desired dress, so Evelynn left her family and set out on her own in her Mercedes SLS AMG. She reached her tailor shop and bought the professional dress and chose to wear it in the shop itself.
After completing everything she raced towards the court in a little fast speed. It was then when everything went haywire. Even though this new Mercedes SLS AMG was a fairly old model, it had undergone numerous improvements over the years. Including turning the drive more reliant on electronics. The electronics were more reliant on the brake system and acceleration to offer the driver more rapid and accurate control of the vehicle.
Despite the fact that there was a lot of traffic in Washington at that time of day, she managed to find a road that was completely empty, so she took advantage of the opportunity by slightly pushing the speed paddle. Her vehicle was soon traveling at 100 kmph on an open road, and a junction was soon in her sights.
This is when things started to go wrong. The electronic component of the brake system abruptly stopped functioning, which resulted in the brake system's total failure. When she noticed that the brakes weren't functioning, she immediately began to feel anxious.
"No...."
The traffic signal had turned turned red when she came to the junction and huge truck was passing by at the moment. The truck was extremely sturdy because it was used by the military and had large loads on its back.
The last thing the Evelynn saw was the black steel frame of the truck when she took her eyes off from the brake pedal. The truck was struck immediately by the Mercedes car. Somehow before the accident, the car instead of slowing down due to no acceleration being provided, it gained more speed. The vehicle was traveling at 120 kph when it collided with the truck.
Despite being a Mercedes flagship model, the car's body could not withstand the severe harm. The frame of Evelynn abruptly stopped moving in a split second. The airbags didn't come out because it 'coincidently' decided to malfunction at that moment.
Everything went wrong in a matter of minute for her and before she knew, her body was flung into the steering wheel which was quite tough. At that precise time, this broke her neck due to the stress caused by the seatbelt.
Before she passed out, all she could hear were screams and sobs. From the third perspective, this was a horrible accident. The expensive car's hood and the front row got crushed into pieces. Evelynn Mars, one of the renowned Mars family's heirs, passed away before the ambulance could even leave.
In the courtroom.
"One down, three more to go." Sigret murmured.
