Pullman drank the wine in the glass. The ice cubes collided with the wine glass and made a sound. For a moment, everyone in the restaurant stopped talking and laughing and looked over. Pullman smiled, picked up the wine glass, and poured out the ice inside. He held the lump in his mouth, and the dual feeling of coldness and heat made him sober up.

The entire restaurant on the second floor was full of people, and all the more than 600 seats on the entire first floor were full of people. Everyone was wearing a golden lawyer badge, with a bright silver engraved scale in the middle and something on the edge. Pattern of rhombus petals.

"Sorry everyone, I have to go to a very important party now!"

Pullman smiled and walked slowly, and many young lawyers stood up one after another.

"Mr. Pullman, do you want to come over to our place later? Have another two drinks?"

Pullman smiled and shook his head.

"This party is going to be long."

Pullman smiled and kept greeting the young lawyers around him. After he walked downstairs slowly, many lawyers started talking and laughing again.

"Do you think Attorney Pullman seems a little different today?"

A lawyer wearing glasses said, and some lawyers around him also noticed that Pullman didn't know what he saw just now, and suddenly his face changed drastically, revealing an aura that was completely different from the gentleness in the past.

Over the years, many young lawyers have received help from Pullman, and many clients even hope that Pullman can participate when they find a lawyer.

In the entire industry, most young lawyers nowadays respect Pullman. Some young lawyers are very resistant to the Bar Association, although as long as they can get involved with the Bar Association, they can get bigger and better services. lawsuit, but most people are already disgusted and disgusted with the need to unconditionally obey the association.

In recent years, most lawyers have also understood that those who choose the bar association can indeed get a lot of benefits by getting favorable lawsuits and becoming legal consultants for some companies, but these people have too many lawyers. In some cases, there are many people who have become outcasts and have failed to recover.

Especially since the criminal investigation started the year before last, most of the criminals who have had actual evidence in the hands of the Law Department can only rely on the generous prices offered by the Law Department to make money for some lawyers who are almost unable to make a living. Taking over this kind of lawsuit that is bound to lose, the only role of the lawyer is to reduce the sentence in the law hall, and to discuss compensation issues with the victims in private.

Originally, most of these cases were handled by the Lawyers Association, but their indifferent attitude made the lower-level lawyers in the entire legal profession despise them. Most of the cases that should have been handled by the Lawyers Association were handed over to the Chinese government. Low-level lawyers.

Just because many lawyers in the Bar Association began to bribe the victims to keep silent before the case was fully investigated. This incident broke out, and the Bar Association made it clear that this part was sent by them. The lawyer kicked them away, made them resist everything, and then directly distanced themselves from the criminal investigation.

In the eyes of most lower-level lawyers, the lawyers in the bar association are just a group of pawns of interests and are not worthy of wearing badges to enter the law hall.

It's just that in these cases where the defendants were in urgent need of lawyers, Pullman finally led many lawyers to participate. Taking into account the client's wishes and the actual circumstances of the crime, he defended the client in the law hall reasonably and strictly adhered to the principle. Professional ethics of famous lawyers.

At first, many lawyers were reluctant to do this because they had to defend criminals and it was at such a juncture. However, with Pullman's persuasion, everyone also participated because this was a rare opportunity. Opportunities for experience.

After participating, most people realized that there are many better prosecutors than Pullman. Every move they made in the Law Hall is worthy of learning from many people. Pullman participated in most of these crimes. , and also took out many cases and wrote most of the analysis reports, listing the methods used by the other party, etc.

Many lawyers have made great progress in the past two years and have become more confident.

"But I always feel that Lawyer Pullman seems to be particularly happy tonight."

A female lawyer said this, and many female lawyers at the next table laughed.

"I must be going to see my girlfriend."

For a while, the female lawyers all began to discuss. What Pullman has done most in recent years that many male lawyers are talking about is guiding many women to enter the legal profession.

In the eyes of many people, it is difficult for women who pay more attention to emotional thinking to be qualified for a job as a lawyer, but Pullman disagrees. Nowadays, many young female lawyers who have just entered the industry for one or two years still rely on playing the emotional card. They have won a lot of cases, and the most important thing is that many male lawyers don't have to stare at the boring work in the office every day. At least there are some beautiful female lawyers who can take a look or two.

"You are serious. Lawyer Pullman has been involved in various lawsuits for so many years. He goes in and out of the law hall almost every day. How can he find time to find a girlfriend? Besides, do you guys want to talk to each other in private? Come to socialize?”

A male lawyer said, several female lawyers laughed, and one of them said.

"I think it's a blind date!"

1:34 am

There was a rumbling sound of machinery. In a rest room in a large production workshop, Lin Xiao took off his safety helmet and took off his work clothes. At this time, the door of the room opened, and a man wearing glasses and gray clothes A beautiful woman in a work skirt came in and hugged Lin Xiao from behind.

"Xiao Xiao, why are you going so late?"

The woman coquettishly helped Lin Xiao take off his blue work clothes, and took out a wet tissue to wipe the sweat from Lin Xiao's forehead.

"Stop making trouble, I have to attend a more important banquet. Help me take out the suit."

The woman pouted, but still did as she was told. Lin Xiao looked in the mirror and began to trim his beard. Recently, this factory had just taken over Mimicry Object Not ideal, Lin Xiao has been here for 7 days.

"Xiao Xiao, the temperature of the bath water is just right."

Lin Xiao walked naked into the bathroom. The woman was already soaked all over. She took off her black stockings. Lin Xiao smiled helplessly.

"I'll talk about it later when I come back. Please wipe my back."

In the mist-filled bathroom, Lin Xiao stared blankly at the half-open door, and fell into deep thought for a while. Everything that had happened over the years kept echoing in his mind.

Lin Xiao clearly remembered that during the years when he gave up on himself, it was some women on the Electrical Appliance Street who saved him.

There was nothing but wine and women every day. During that period of decadence, Lin Xiao once felt that maybe this was the end of it for him, but the longing and good expectations in his heart hurt his heart all the time.

Lin Xiao was unwilling to sink like this, and kept falling in drinks and desires every day. However, one day, a woman after having a passionate relationship with Lin Xiao seemed to be in a bad mood. Lin Xiao asked why, and the woman It is also said that it is because business in the store is getting harder and harder.

After that, Lin Xiao went to the woman's shop the next day. After helping her look at it in detail and making suggestions, the business of the woman's shop improved. Lin Xiao felt something, and he began to help people with advice and recycling of used electrical appliances. journey of.

Both of them came in handy in the end. When the female boss next to me just inherited the factory, it was about to close down. However, Lin Xiao helped her plan a lot of things. The factory gradually came back to life and is now a medium-sized factory. Enterprise.

"I don't care which woman you go to, but you have to remember to come back, Lin Xiao."

Lin Xiao smiled bitterly.

"It's never a good thing to owe so much emotional debt."

After a while, Lin Xiao combed his hair and shaved off his beard. The woman helped Lin Xiao get dressed and put on a black tie. After kissing Lin Xiao passionately for a while, Lin Xiao smiled and patted her. Woman's waist.

"You're all wet. Go change your clothes quickly, or you'll catch a cold later."

The woman pouted. After Lin Xiao kissed her forehead again, the smile on his face disappeared the moment he turned around, and the slutty energy in his body was gone. As soon as he walked out, many workers and foremen in the factory They all looked at him with a smile.

"Lin Xiao, you are so blessed that you don't know how lucky you are. Our boss is so good, you"

Lin Xiao took a cigarette from a foreman and lit it directly. Everyone present was surprised for a moment and had no idea that Lin Xiao was a mutant.

"Sorry everyone, I originally planned to celebrate together after I help you complete the product testing. Unfortunately, it seems that it won't be possible tonight. I have to rush to attend an important party."

Lin Xiao said and walked quickly, and many people laughed.

"Which lady is going to lie in your arms again tonight?"

Lin Xiao walked quietly to the gate of the factory and pushed the door open with both hands. It would be more uncomfortable for him to give up his original vow than to die, so Lin Xiao knew exactly what he had to do to get up. Only then can we truly fulfill the vow we made at the gate of the factory where Baoyan committed suicide.

At this time, Lin Xiao's mind was filled with the scene that night when Chris was hospitalized on the rooftop. Gene handed the coins to them, and Freya finally put away the coins.

"I probably understand, Mr. Jean. At this moment, I completely understand what the coin represents!"

A lift slowly landed. Lin Xiao walked over and opened the door of the lift. In an instant, he showed a bright smile, with madness in his eyes and extremely excited expression.

"Sorry everyone, I took a shower and shaved, so I'm a little late. The only one left is Chris!"

1:49 am

In a room with many bronze utensils, Chris sat quietly on a small floor, wearing a blue gown. He had just finished taking care of it and was waiting to pick him up. machine.

Facing the door of the room, there is a picture scroll hanging on it, which is empty and blank.

Chris stood up, his tall figure already close to the light panel above his head. He glanced back at the white scroll behind him and showed a contented smile.

Chris opened the door to the room, and with a burst of excitement, many people gathered over.

"Teacher Chris, come and drink together."

Chris smiled and shook his head. When he closed the door, many people looked at the empty painting in Chris' room.

Because every time he encounters some problems, Chris will always meditate on the painting, and he can always think of some effective methods, and he will tell everyone a lot from time to time.

Over the years, Chris has had more and more students, and many of them are teaching in many schools around the world. Everyone likes Chris because what he says is really helpful to many people in terms of education. , many of the things that Chris promoted have gradually shown their effectiveness, making education more effective, rather than education in the written sense.

After chatting with many people for a while, Chris walked out of the mansion. This mansion on the ground floor connected to the central area was rented by Chris. There was a sign for educational seminars on the door.

In recent years, more and more teachers have come here to attend banquets, and there are also many principals. Many of them are very grateful to Chris for his help. This kind of help is almost free. Anyone who comes here wants to devote himself to Anyone in the education industry can benefit from Chris' help.

Looking at the quiet street in the distance, a lift was parked there, and Chris walked over with a smile.

"I'm sorry. I thought about it for a while and now I can go."

Chris stepped into the takeoff with a serious expression, and the other seven people in the cabin nodded with serious expressions.

"Let's go Alpha, it's time for us to meet our future opponents!"

Alpha was smiling in the cab of the lift. She had already changed into the uniform of Section 5 Chief. Although she was unable to drive in the city, Alpha was still engaged in school education and had not left the administrative section.

"Then I really have to welcome you all!"

Alpha said as he started the lift.

1:59 am

Violet looked at her daughter who was restless on the lawn and was walking among the servants. The lights were already on in the Angus family's mansion, and everyone from the business department came over, many of them. People seemed to be waiting for something, waiting very quietly on the lawn.

Locke sat on the chair with a serious look on his face, and all the students from the General Affairs Department stood behind him.

"Mrs. Angus, what happened tonight?"

Wilsey was still sitting on the sofa, and her son Chen Jie was sleeping soundly in the next room. Violet shook her head. She didn't know why it was so lively in the middle of the night. She originally wanted to have a better relationship with her tonight. Some of the women in the family chatted and then had something to eat and drink together.

At this time Ista walked in with Ji Mo and Ivy who had woken up.

"You seem quite serious, Mrs. Angus."

Violet nodded.

"I just hope that everyone will not talk about it with other people when they go back tomorrow."

As Violet said, some women from other families also walked in, and Mo Yingying came to Violet's side.

"It's going to be serious, on this lawn tonight."

Violet also felt it. There was a burning sensation in the air. This burning sensation in the atmosphere made all the female guests who came to Angus' house tonight feel uneasy.

Hawke's wife Kate also walked into the living room directly opposite the mansion.

"Mrs. Angus, Hawke said he is coming over, and he hopes I will notify you in advance!"

Violet nodded, looking a little solemn.

Her husband Avano had also come out of the underground research laboratory. He just watched from a distance these children who used to come to his home for festivals. Now they have grown up.

Soon the servants put away everything needed for the barbecue. A flash of scarlet appeared in the sky in the distance, and a lift slowly slid over.

The lift landed on the roof of the Angus family's mansion. Hawk pressed his forehead and got off the lift. The seven gods also came out of the lift one by one. They came to the edge of the rooftop. After a while, they were standing still. Olite walked up.

"Mr. Jean, adults, why are you all here!"

"Sorry, little girl, I may have to disturb your family tonight. Please help us get something to eat and drink. Everything will be wonderful tonight."

Tang Rao said and Violet bowed, while Hawk looked at everything below with a smile.

"Really, since I was able to witness this moment, I can say that I successfully handed over the work."

Gene smiled and watched a lift coming from the distance. At this time, Locke stood up and Niya had been sent back to the living room on the second floor.

People from the 12 departments stood behind the secretaries of their respective section chiefs, and followed Locke slowly towards the lift.

After the landing plane landed, Alpha walked out of the cabin first and returned to the front of the queue in Section 5.

Freya walked down first, and the seven people behind her followed Freya, and the eight people quietly walked towards Locke not far away.

Soon people on both sides stopped.

"On behalf of the 12 administrative departments, I welcome you to tonight's banquet. On behalf of all our administrative departments, I would like to thank you for your help over the years!"

Locke bowed slightly, and everyone followed Locke and bowed with serious expressions.

Freya nodded with a smile and bowed in return. At this time, the seven people around her stood on the left and right sides of Freya, and the people on both sides just looked at each other quietly.

The 612 people present were clearly aware that they had more or less come into contact with these eight people many years ago when they were conducting the review of the 120 districts. They were really strong and kept improving in another way. To improve myself, many things over the past many years were successfully solved with the help of eight people.

Freya took out a silver coin from her arms and held it in her hand. Everyone looked at the silver coin.

"Mr. Jean gave this to me back then!"

As soon as Freya finished speaking, everyone in the industry looked at the silver coin in shock.

"What a pity! No one on our side can get it, but the days ahead are still very long! Isn't it Ms. Freya?"

Locke said with a smile, and all eight people opposite him nodded seriously.

"It's really amazing, this kind of momentum! Is this what you want to see!"

Hawke asked. On one side were the managers who represented Brilliant City, and on the other were the speakers who represented the people of Brilliant City. These two huge forces have not yet met on a formal stage, but they are really Strong men will always meet unexpectedly, and the two forces will lift up the city.

"It seems that everyone understands the true meaning of that coin! I can imagine how brutal the battle between them will be in the future, without the smoke of gunpowder. Can you give me a seat as an observer?"

Hawke looked at Jean, who had a smile on his face and enthusiasm in his eyes.

"I want to establish 13 subjects!"

For a moment, the other six gods looked at Jean in surprise.

"Is there something wrong with your head? At this age, you still want to accompany these children to fool around?"

Jean shook his head and took a step forward, but was held back by Tang Rao.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"There has to be someone to be the referee, right? After all, both sides want to get the coin. Only the one who stands at the highest point in the end is qualified to get the coin. This time it is Freya? The MPs won, next Who was it once?”

Hawke laughed.

"It doesn't matter who it is. The situation you have created should be able to balance all aspects well in the future."

At this time, people on both sides began to disperse, and they did not communicate on any issues, but planned to barbecue first.

"Come on, you guys, help me. I'll let you try my secret barbecue."

Wu Qun took off his coat as he spoke, and many people from the business department gathered around him.

"Old Wu, it's a pity that your restaurant is not open. We haven't had your food for a long time."

Locke had already borne the brunt of the attack, when a little girl in a white uniform ran over with a smile.

"A rare seasoning method, but I should be able to help."

Wu Qun looked at the little girl next to him in surprise.

"This child's name is Yin Xianglin."

Wu Qun looked at the confident Locke.

"What, have you found a successor?"

Locke immediately looked unhappy. Yin Xianglin looked at Wu Qun with some confusion. Wu Qun's eyes lingered on Yin Xianglin's cheek with some hesitation.

"Come on, little girl, let me see what you can do for me."

Locke frowned slightly, stood up, walked to Wu Qun and pulled him over.

"You must not take advantage of that girl!"

"Am I such a person!"

Time passed by, and along with the aroma of barbecue, Niya could not wait to run out, and many children who had woken up because of the commotion on the lawn had gathered around.

"Sister, I want this piece of meat, hurry up."

Alpha stood by the oven, looked at Nia and the children next to him, and said with a smile.

"You guys share the food."

At this time, Ivy wiped the saliva of Leona next to her with a handkerchief, pursed her lips and smiled. Ji Mo, Chen Jie and the other boys looked at the barbecue with greedy eyes.

2:25 am

Eddie had just returned to the office from the noisy family banquet, and his head was a little dizzy. Throughout the last year, the Hillman family had gained a considerable market share, although it still could not catch up with the Angus family. , but for Eddie, he was already very satisfied.

Like the Angus family, the Hillman family also spent 1 billion as pensions for the victims. Obviously this money was well invested. Their family's charity was fueled by the media and helped the Hillman family. All stocks have risen a lot.

Eddie turned on the phone, and X walked out of the wall.

"The Angus family seems to be quite lively tonight."

Eddie was a little confused and quickly opened a monitoring panel. Sure enough, he saw a lot of people on the lawn. But what surprised Eddie was that he saw the shadows of a few familiar people. After identifying them for a while, Eddie laughed.

"It turned out to be those eight annoying guys."

X quietly looked at the person on the surveillance video and quickly recognized him.

"Aren't these eight strange classmates of yours?"

The drunkenness on Eddie's face disappeared. He stood up, opened the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of wine, poured some and continued to drink slowly.

"The next step of the plan has also begun. I have gradually asked people to start building some facilities at Alatan Ula."

X's eyes widened.

"What do you want to do?"

Eddie smiled slightly.

"Build my own country. As long as I wait for the time to mature, I will naturally leave from here and go to my country. There are very rich mineral deposits in the mountains over there. You only need to know this. It is enough. You have to help I'm going to go for a run and take Prometheus with me, so that I can measure the terrain near the mountain range in all directions."

"It's not a small problem if the gods know about it."

Eddie shook his head and pointed at the surveillance screen.

"Can't you see? What do the gods want to do now? I can already foresee that the future will probably be the most uncomfortable era for our family and businessmen. Those two groups of people will control everything, and We will gradually become their appendages and can only obey their control and continue to play a zero-sum game in the city."

X's eyes widened. He just thought those people were a little weird. After all, they did something for free, and they really looked like fools. However, when Eddie said this, X also reacted.

"In terms of influence, the eight of them are indeed very high in the city, but they shouldn't become our enemies, right?"

Eddie stood up and shook his head.

“Mr. , and everything that follows, the city will be promoted and integrated by these two forces, this is what the gods have planned for a long time."

X nodded.

"Then if facilities are really built on the Alatan Ula Mountains, what if?"

"There is nothing wrong with Mr.

X's eyes widened, feeling that Eddie was getting more and more dangerous.

"Do you think I am getting more and more dangerous? Then please make all preparations, Mr. X. I personally hate betrayers. Please remember this."

X nodded.

"I don't like falling behind others. If you want to know why Prometheus evolved so quickly, I can tell you that I taught him crime, and it also clearly understood the concept of crime, which is human nature. The selfishness and sin derived from it are the root cause of awakening the self-awareness of AIs. Mr.
