When Huangfu Huazhang, as a key witness for the prosecution, walked into the courtroom, Shi Nian could clearly sense the change in Mark's demeanor.
Previously, as the defendant sitting with Xiang Yuan, Mark had maintained a nonchalant attitude throughout the trial. No matter how the situation shifted between the prosecution and defense, his expression remained unchanged, as if he were a mere spectator, indifferent to guilt or punishment.
But at this moment, when he turned to see the courtroom doors open and Huangfu Huazhang standing at the threshold, his calm and amusement vanished instantly. His dark blue eyes fixed intently on Huangfu Huazhang, following him all the way forward, through the aisle past the seats, until he reached the witness stand. Standing still, he gracefully and elegantly bowed slightly to the court and jury, then declared his oath with a clear voice before sitting down leisurely.
