Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

On Thursday morning, Hobert accompanied Barton in the solicitor's carriage to the residence of Earl Hall.

On the carriage, Barton introduced: "Earl Hall is a nobleman with far-reaching vision and wise mind. When most of the lords are still relying on land and family property, Earl Hall has actively made contributions to the bank." industry and emerging industrial investment.”

Hobert nodded, wasn't he "Justice" her father? He was still somewhat impressed.

Barton said with emotion: "The reforms of the Loen Kingdom in recent years are like a sieve. A group of nobles took advantage of this opportunity to gain more wealth and political status, but most of the nobles declined.

"However, nobles attach great importance to dignity. Even if there is any dispute between them, the first thing they think of is to resolve it through private negotiation. If it goes to court, it means that both parties are completely broken. For some wealth and assets, they can ignore their status as nobles. of decency.”

Barton is deeply trusted by Earl Hall. Generally, when the Earl has important transactions or cooperation, he will ask Barton to help review the contract. If he encounters any economic disputes, he will also listen to Barton's opinions.

Hobert had seen Earl Hall's mansion from a distance before, and he didn't think much of it from the outside. After entering, Hobert realized that the Earl's mansion was much larger than he imagined.

Upon entering, there is a huge garden with sculptures, fountains, a huge lawn, and pruned landscape trees.

The lawn is a symbol of the aristocracy of this era. Ordinary people will not grow grass, because there is no profit from growing grass and it takes time to take care of it.

Only nobles who do not rely on these lands for their livelihood would choose to grow grass.

Gradually, the lawn became a symbol of nobility and wealth.

Hobert and Barton took a carriage to a three-story, grand-looking European-style building. Earl Hall's butler was already waiting outside the door.

The butler greeted Barton politely, and at the same time he did not forget to praise Hobert's talents.

Then Barton and Hobert entered under the guidance of the butler. Upon entering, they were greeted by a grand hall with many artists' works hanging on the walls and many priceless antiques furnished.

Earl Hall is waiting in front of the door of a drawing room. Although the years have left obvious traces on this Earl's body, he is still very handsome. It can be imagined that when he was young, he must have been a man who fascinated many girls. noble.

"Mr. Barton, you always look so good." Earl Hall smiled and said, "Is this your new assistant?"

"Your complexion is also like the sunshine in the morning, making people feel warm." Barton greeted: "Yes, Earl, he is a top student at Backlund University, a very good young man."

Earl Hall looked at Hobert, who had black hair, dark eyes, and handsome features, especially his bright and cheerful smile, like a young man from his neighbor who came to visit.

"Seeing these outstanding young people, I feel that I am really old." Earl Hall said with emotion: "Please come in."

"Dad!" A clear call made the three people stop their movements and follow the sound.

Hobert saw a peerless beauty walking elegantly towards him. She had blond hair and blue eyes, her long hair was as moist as gold, her temperament was pure and elegant, and her green eyes were like the purest gems.

Hobert couldn't help but be stunned. This was definitely the most beautiful lady he had ever seen in his two lifetimes.

Barton reminded him by clearing his throat, and Hobert came back to his senses. He said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Earl, and this beautiful lady, your beauty shocked me."

Earl Hall smiled and said: "There is nothing to apologize for. The pursuit of beauty is the cultivation of a gentleman."

The Earl didn't see any fascination or filthiness in Hobert's eyes, just a simple shock and appreciation of beauty. Such determination is rare among young people. The key point is that the other party apologized graciously, which made Earl Hall even more... Admire this young man.

This incredibly beautiful lady is naturally Miss Justice Audrey.

Hobert lamented, no wonder "Mr. Ke" was a little embarrassed when he saw Audrey for the first time, and wondered if she was a "witch". She was indeed too beautiful.

The earl asked Audrey, who was approaching: "My beautiful daughter, what do you want from me?"

"Hello, Mr. Barton." Audrey's good upbringing allowed her to greet Barton cordially first, and she also did not forget to give Hobert a warm smile.

Then she said to Earl Hall: "Dad, after we have finished talking about the business, can I ask Mr. Barton a few questions alone?"

"Of course." Earl Hall said with a doting look on his face.

Barton also said: "Beautiful lady, this is my honor."

He said: "Please allow me to introduce my assistant Hobert. He is a student of the Law Department of Backlund University. If you want to ask about legal knowledge, I think you can let Hobert work for you."

The earl smiled and said: "It seems that you have high expectations for this young man."

Barton nodded: "Yes."

Hearing the conversation between the two people, Hobert was slightly startled. He probably understood that Barton was recommending himself to the next generation of the earl.

In Luen's legal world, students or assistants that barristers think are promising will usually be recommended to their main clients or the descendants of their main clients.

This is a bit like the meaning of "closed disciple".

But the problem is, Hobert thinks that as long as he digests the potion, he may leave the firm. Why does Barton train himself in this way?

However, this was not the time to think about this. Hobert bowed slightly to Audrey and said, "I am happy to serve you."

Audrey obviously didn't trust Hobert, but because of Mr. Barton's face, she said: "Okay, Mr. Hobert, please come with me."

Watching the two young men leave, Earl Hall smiled and said: "I also want to consider finding a young man to be my assistant."

He sighed: "It's great to be young. It always makes people feel full of vitality. I feel full of strength now."

Barton smiled and said: "Then let's get to work."

The two people entered the reception room while talking.

On the other side, Audrey brought Hobert to the garden, but the most beautiful flowers here were somewhat overshadowed by Audrey.

Audrey walked ahead and asked, "Mr. Hobert, have you ever handled criminal cases?"

Hobert was stunned. He couldn't say that he had handled only one case in total: "I have seen many related cases and can help you analyze and make suggestions. If it needs to be resolved in court, you can ask Mr. Barton to come forward. "

Audrey frowned slightly before continuing: "I have a friend who accidentally maimed her opponent during a conflict..."

Hobert thought to himself: Miss Justice, that friend of yours can’t be Hugh, right?
