The Strongest Beast Tamer With the Strongest System-Chapter 23: Get it All

Outside the courtroom, Lawyer Wilson approached Laura once more.

"Mrs. Maxwell, you’ve won big this time. But I won’t be involved in the collection process," he said.

"You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll handle it with my client," Laura replied calmly, as if it were nothing troublesome.

She turned and walked away, and Leonardo followed behind her.

However, she did not leave the courthouse. Instead, she entered an office to retrieve the official documents from the trial.

Once the verdict was issued, the paperwork was prepared immediately. The court could even issue an enforcement order, allowing the police to assist Leonardo in collecting the compensation.

But Laura had already said she could handle everything.

Margaret was expected to be at school, so they headed there in Laura’s car, with Max driving.

Leonardo sat in the back seat beside her.

It was at that school where he had been arrested.

Coming back here, he could not say he felt completely calm.

Besides, he had not officially been expelled. He was still technically a student.

Nova Prime Academy.

The dark red school building was visible even from a distance.

It stood in an open area without walls surrounding it, and there were multiple entrances.

Max stopped the car in front of one of them.

It was just past 9 a.m., and students were still arriving.

White uniforms. Blue ties. Long trousers for boys and short skirts for girls.

Most arrived by city bus, but there were also quite a few luxury cars pulling in.

Leonardo’s face was not unfamiliar to them.

The moment he stepped out, he attracted attention.

No one expected to see him standing at the entrance with a mature, professional-looking woman.

Before anyone could approach him, a white Rolls-Royce turned toward the entrance.

Even with tinted windows, everyone knew whose car it was.

Margaret’s.

Leonardo stepped forward and stood directly in its path.

The driver had no choice but to stop.

The rear passenger door opened.

A pair of long white legs stepped out.

Margaret wore her school uniform, a short blue skirt, her hair tied in a ponytail.

Her eyes were not just cold.

They were vicious.

Then another figure stepped out.

Emma.

Glasses. Twin braids.

"Leonardo, what are you doing?" she asked.

They had once been close enough to call each other by first name.

She clearly did not expect him to block Margaret’s car so boldly.

Leonardo, on the other hand, did not expect her to be riding with Margaret.

So she had really chosen her side.

But he had no interest in speaking to her.

He looked at Laura instead.

Laura stepped forward.

Margaret had no choice but to face her.

"I am Laura Maxwell, attorney for Leonardo Anderson," she said calmly.

The name made Margaret’s brows lift slightly.

"According to the court’s ruling, you have been legally found guilty of manipulating law enforcement in an attempt to seize my client’s Beast Tamer Class. The court has ordered you to pay compensation in the form of 10 million dollars, one Level 2 Dimensional Ring, one Level 2 Resonance Core, Soul Conduit Crystal Level 1 and Level 2, two Class A Monster Eggs, one Class 1 Apartment in City Z, and one BMW."

Laura’s voice was clear and loud enough for the surrounding students to hear.

Margaret’s expression froze.

She grabbed the document and read it herself.

"What kind of nonsense is this?" she muttered.

She immediately took out her phone—

"There is no point in calling your lawyer," Laura cut in smoothly. "He cannot help you unless you want the court to pursue imprisonment as well. It would be wiser to pay before this becomes more complicated. Or, if you cannot, I can call your father. I happen to have his number."

Laura even showed her phone screen.

James Harvey.

The name and number were both real.

But before Margaret could react—

Her phone rang.

Caller ID: Father.

Laura, seeing that, gave a faint smile.

On other hand, Margaret could not hide her uneasiness. She accepted her father’s call and placed the phone against her ear without saying a word.

"For the Awakener items requested, you have them. Hand them over. I will pay the rest. And perhaps you should stop trying to become a Beast Tamer. Focus on what you already have."

Even though she lowered the volume, the words were still faintly audible.

Laura heard them clearly.

Margaret’s expression darkened instantly. Her breathing nearly faltered.

"It seems your father understands what is best for you," Laura commented lightly.

Margaret ended the call without replying.

With James Harvey personally giving the order, it meant Lawyer Wilson had successfully convinced him that they truly lost the trial.

Perhaps he had exaggerated Laura’s preparation.

In any case, this was not James Harvey’s expertise.

He chose to trust his lawyer.

Margaret raised her hand.

A silver ring appeared.

Not the one she was wearing.

Clearly, she owned more than one Dimensional Ring.

This one was Level 2, with one hundred square meters of storage space.

She did not look at the ring.

She looked at Leonardo.

Her eyes were filled with endless anger.

"You know, nothing good will come from taking my things."

Leonardo smiled faintly.

"You’re wrong. I already gained something good from the Life Liquid Essence injection you paid for. I think more good things will come if I take even more from you."

He reached out and took the ring from her hand.

Margaret instinctively tightened her grip—but hesitated under Laura’s gaze.

In the end, the ring left her hand.

Her face twitched.

Leonardo held the ring and peeked inside. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Everything was there.

Resonance Core Level 2.

Soul Conduit Crystal Level 1 and Level 2.

He took them out under everyone’s watch.

The Resonance Core was a black cube with white lines moving across its surface.

The Soul Conduit Crystals were small triangular crystals. The Level 2 one was slightly thicker.

Leonardo clenched them.

Crack.

They shattered instantly, turning into streams of light that flowed into his body.

DING!

(Your Power Resonance has increased from 2 to 3!)

(Your Beast Capacity has increased from 1 to 3!)

(Beast Capacity: 1/3)

(Power Resonance: 3)
