Chapter 3
Time is like sand, passing without trace. And five years has passed by.
It's in the higher people's court in City H.
In the court, the solemn atmosphere makes everyone in the courtroom dare not breathe. The air becomes even colder because of the sharp wording of the female lawyer.
"Adventure King" is a game launched by our Larryhot Technology Company six years ago. The popularity of the game in that year was comparable to the game "Honor of Kings" in current. And the number of downloads and topics on each port had been ranked first for a long time. Now I would like to ask Mr. Young, your company has launched the variety show "Jungle Adventure". The similarity of the game mode and the poster between the two programs is as high as 80%. Such amazing similarity has constituted plagiarism. Has your company obtained the legal authorization of Larryhot Technology?"
Her sharp and straightforward questioning voice, sharp eyes, and the imposing manner are no less than a man.
She is in a well cut professional dress, with long curly hair at the back of her head. She looks smart and cool, with a pair of diamond earrings in her earlobes.
Charles, a representative of Horay Media, feels like sitting on a needle. In just half an hour, he has seen the fierce of the female lawyer. At this time, he braves cold sweat in front of his forehead and looks anxiously at the man sitting in the audience seat not far away. His immediate boss, the chief executive officer of Larryhot, Kenny.
If he loses the case, then he...
"Mr. Young, please answer my question truthfully." Poppy doesn't give him a chance to avoid. She stares at him like an X-ray through his heart.
"No..." Charles is a little helpless. He is already a little decadent while he looks at Poppy's confident expression.
His reply makes Poppy very satisfied. Her lips raises a light smile, and her powerful voice is sounded again. "Horay Media launched a variety show that copied the game mode of "Adventure King" without legal authorization, and it also registered a trademark as "Mohimwong" to launch off line activities..."
"No! We are just..." Charles is in a panics, ignoring to disturb the order of the court, and interrupts Poppy loudly.
"Silence, prosecution lawyers continue to close the case!" The presiding judge frowns and looks at Charles unpleasantly.
Poppy smiles confidently and continues, "Our Larryhot Technology sue Horay Media for using the relevant name and game mode of "Adventure King" without legal authorization, which constituted trademark infringement and unfair competition plagiarism. Horay Media is required to compensate seventy million dollars."
Poppy gives a loud overview of the closing statement. And almost everyone's eyes are focused on her, with praise and surprise...
She has a gorgeous appearance. Even in the face of domestic gold lawyers, she is also fearless in the face of danger. She manipulates everything and presents a perfect "battle" to everyone.
She shows her personal charm through her super "combat power", which makes people who originally have colored eyes have to look at her with great admiration.
The defense lawyer's eyebrows slightly frowns, when she accuses with reasonable evidence, he couldn't help but adjusts his wire-rimmed glasses. Looking at her calm and determined eyes, he seems to have thought of the result of his defeat.
He looks back at his employer Kenny, who is not far away. Kenny sits quietly in the auditorium. From the beginning of the court session to now, he doesn't even frown. However, his cold breath and inherent dignity can't be ignored.
The defense lawyers feel so stressed that he has to re-estimate Poppy.
Poppy doesn't back down when she looks at him. She raises a sarcastic smile, as if to say, 'you're going to lose!'
As time goes on, it becomes clear who wins and who loses.
After a while, the presiding judge solemnly declares in a solemn voice, "by the unanimously ruling of the members of the collegial panel, Horay Media illegally registered the trademark, and copied the game mode without the legal authorization of Larryhot Technology, which violated regulations 1 and 6 of Article 47 of the Tort Liability Law. Horay Media is prohibited from continuing to use the word "Mohimwong" and all the relevant businesses activities. The program must be stopped immediately for rectification. And Horay Media must compensate for the economic losses and reasonable expenses of litigation of Larryhot Technology, totaling seventy million dollars."
With the sound of the gavel, the result of the trial is settled.
The crowd gasp and stare at Poppy. Some of them even begin to whisper about her personal information.
"Who is that woman? She is so eloquent. How could I have never seen her before in the legal circle?"
"Poppy, as she's called at Larryhot, is said to have been invited back from abroad."
...
Poppy? Poppy!
Kenny stares at the woman not far away. After five years' disappearance, she finally appears.
When Larryhot Technology wins the lawsuit, the representatives of the enterprise are very happy. They come to Poppy and say, "Poppy, thank you so much for coming back from New York to win justice for our company." "Again, I'm not doing charity, I won't take a cent less of the lawyer's fee!" Her clear voice and cold eyes make her look more attractive.
"Don't worry. I will send your lawyer's fee to your account as soon as I get back to the company."
A short time later, a gold-plated business card appears in Poppy's line of sight when she is cleaning up the papers. She glances at the name on the card, Kenny. Poppy has a pause.
She also hears a familiar voice, "Poppy, nice to meet you."
"Jeremy, are you finished?" Poppy ignores Kenny and asks the assistant coldly.
Jeremy secretly looks at the man in front of him. "I'm done."
"Let's go!" Poppy picks up her briefcase and makes a neat turn. Jeremy follows her quickly.
Kenny takes back his business card with a wry smile. His eagle eyes narrows as he looks at Poppy's back.
