American Comics Reward Order

Laika sneered in her heart.

This Laura is so bad.

Although what she said made sense, it was obviously an exaggeration.

Although Norman is sometimes crazy and good, generally speaking, he is still carrying out plans according to routines, rather than killing everyone indiscriminately.

Laura said this, obviously to intimidate Lewis and force him to stay obediently and help with the lawsuit.

But Laika originally wanted to stay.

Therefore, he decided to cooperate with Laura.

"Louis, sit down."

Laika forcibly pulled Louis back to the seat, "Laura is right, the matter has reached this point, escaping is useless, and it will even... accelerate death."

Louis’ face turned paler indeed.

"Oh, this little assistant is quite smart."

"I dare not say you are smart or anything." Laika stared at Laura confidently, "But at least I am not so stupid that I can't see that you also want to cooperate with our law firm."

Alas, Louis didn’t dare to speak, so Laika had no choice but to take the lead.

Wouldn't it be too uncharacteristic of an assistant lawyer to be so sharp?

However, Laura has no thoughts in this regard for the time being, but she appreciates Laika more and more.

"That's right. I chose to stay in this hotel just to observe your law firm nearby..."

Laura smiled, “I like your honesty, which is the basis for good cooperation.”

"I agree, so you can tell me honestly... Why can you protect us?"

"With my financial resources, connections, skills, and experience." Laura clicked the pistol on her waist, "Of course, it's also based on this."

"Um...you mean...you're better than the Council's killers?"

"You may not know that I have not only found treasures in tombs around the world, but I have also killed monsters and dragons. Some killers in the council are indeed more terrifying than dragons, but... I have reason to believe that they will not accept My business."

Because she is on the private list.

Laura shrugged, “So in terms of security, I can’t say it’s 100% guaranteed, but it’s definitely more reliable than the doorman downstairs at your law firm.”

This is true.

Louis may not know it, but there is a saying in the grave digging community of this world:

In the east, there is Wu Xie and Hu Bayi fighting for gold, and in the west, there is Laura O'Connor, who summons spirits and wakes up corpses.

This shows Laura's position in the running world and her abilities.

"So, for safety reasons, it is best for us to stay by your side as your lawyer and do our best to fight your case."

Laika raised her eyebrows at Laura, "So you can protect us better?"

"Smart, this room is a suite. Until the matter is resolved satisfactorily, I don't mind you coming here every day, working during the day and sleeping on the sofa at night."

Laura raised her eyebrows at Lao Ka, "I don't even mind if one of you sleeps in the bed with me."

Louis swallowed hard. This was the first time he made a move since being pressed down by Leica.

Laura continued: "Next, please tell me frankly, if you represent me in my lawsuit, what are the chances of winning?"

Laika couldn't answer this question because he knew nothing about the law.

So I can only count on Louis.

"Um..." Louis said timidly, "To be honest, for the time being, there is no chance."

Laura’s expression was very calm, as if she had expected this result.

Laika was shocked in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it.

Holy shit, the most outstanding law firm in New York is this good?

Before, Louis said he was looking for Laura, and Laika thought that she would be happy if she found her!

Louis continued: "Before coming here, I have done detailed strategic research. We have two flaws in this lawsuit."

"Me first." Laura pointed to herself.

"Yes, you applied for a cultural relic protection injunction from the US government, but... you yourself dig into the tomb all day long, which makes your application untenable."

Laura nodded, she had expected this.

"Of course, we have room for debate in this regard. For example, what you brought into the tomb were small pickaxes and brushes, which did not damage the tomb. And Norman... I wish he could just blow up the tomb."

Lewis sighed, "So this one is not fatal. In comparison, the other flaw is more..."

"What's that flaw?"

"It's money. The U.S. cultural relics protection law...that's all. As long as the money is in place, everyone from the judge to the cultural relics appraiser has room to operate."

"And Norman...has endless money?"

"That's right. Moreover, he doesn't seem to be prepared to set a budget limit when it comes to excavation of ancient tombs."

After a moment of silence, Laura then asked: “What’s the countermeasure?”

"Not yet." Lewis shook his head.

Alas, when he was studying these strategies before, he had always stood in Norman's shoes.

We have even contacted relevant officials in Alaska and made some advance arrangements.

The conclusion at that time was that Laura's chances of winning the case were lower than a murderer who was found not guilty of killing someone on the street.

Unexpectedly, now, the position has changed...

"But I want to emphasize that we just have no solution for the time being!"

Louis firmly stated, “What makes our law firm outstanding is that we often win impossible cases.”

Laura nodded: “This is why I let you in, you are my greatest hope.”

Laika assessed the atmosphere and felt that it was almost time to get to the point.

"So...what is in that ancient tomb?"

Laura shrugged expressionlessly: "What else can there be, precious cultural relics."

After staring at Laura for a while, Laika said softly: "Ms. Crawford, didn't you just say that honesty is the basis for good cooperation."

Laura smiled crookedly: “How do you know I’m not honest?”

Laika spread his hands: "Do you think anyone with a right mind would believe that Norman would not hesitate to offer a reward for killing people just to dig out some porcelain?"

After hesitating for a moment, Laura still shook her head: “It’s true that I wasn’t honest, but to be honest, it’s useless to be honest.”

"why?"

"I just speculated on what was in the ancient tomb based on a legend, and legends cannot be used as evidence in court."

Laika tentatively asked: "...In addition, the legend is dangerous and scary, so you think it's better not to tell it?"

Laura didn’t speak, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

"Miss Crawford, I don't agree with your idea."

Lewis said sincerely, "Based on my experience, reversing an impossible lawsuit relies on some seemingly useless clues."

Laika became serious: "Besides, a big taboo of lawyers is that their clients hide something from themselves. We don't mind defending the murderer and fighting for his maximum rights, but we will never allow him to lie to me and say that he has never killed someone. "

Unknowingly, Louis and Laika really started playing the good-cop-bad-cop game.

After a brief hesitation, Laura sighed softly.

"I really should tell you, but can you promise not to tell anyone? Because... the things in the ancient tomb are indeed too dangerous."

Laika and Louis nodded at the same time.

"No problem." "Protecting client privacy is a lawyer's obligation."

"Ok."

Laura stood up, took out an ancient book from the safe and placed it on the table.

Turning the pages.

"This book tells a story based on Norse mythology...or a legend."

"About 9000 years ago, when the nine kingdoms in Asgard were connected, the evil dark elves prepared to use a treasure to reshape the world into darkness."

"In such a world, the Dark Elves will become extremely powerful and become the sole rulers."

"But before they could complete their plan, the Asgardian protoss arrived in time, stopped them, and destroyed them."

"In order to ensure that the treasure would never be used by evil again, the Asgardian protoss hid it on Earth. At that time, humans were not yet civilized."

Laura pointed to the picture on the last page of the book: "There are various signs that this treasure is hidden in the Alaskan tomb."

"A month later, the nine kingdoms will gather together again. Norman Osborne is suddenly eager to dig up the ancient tomb at this time. The purpose is obvious."

"He also knows what I know, and he is trying to reshape the world according to his own will!"

"And I have to stop him!"

Halfway through, Laika already knew roughly what treasure Laura was talking about.

When I saw the treasure in the picture that looked like both liquid and solid, I was even more sure.

TNND, the story has just begun, and there are some tough dishes.

"In ancient books, the name of this treasure is called Ether."
