Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

The digestion of the potion was smoother than Hobert's plan. This was due to his serious treatment of every commission and the accumulation of contacts he gained.

If he continues to deal with the case assigned to him by Mr. Barton, it will take at least two or three weeks before the potion can be fully digested.

Mr. Bob's case was introduced by Robin's cousin, Mr. Sean's case was introduced by Miss Hugh, and Mr. Bruce's case was introduced by Mr. Barron. These three cases prompted Hobert to digest the remaining potion in his body, and these three cases were the results of his own connections. This is what makes Hobert most gratified.

"Thank you, Attorney Hobert."

Bruce's sincere thanks brought Hobert back to his senses. He smiled and said: "The biggest ridicule of your past life is that you can live happily in the future. You have a good family background and are still young. I believe it is not difficult to achieve this." , stop doing stupid things."

"Your counsel is my will."

After Bruce said a few more words to his mother, he followed the bailiff to the prison to serve his sentence.

Although she won the case, Mrs. Kent still burst into tears. After all, Bruce had to spend three months in a cold prison.

Hobert chatted with Mr. Barron for a few words, and everyone left one after another.

Outside the court, just as Hobert was about to get into the taxi, Fors came over and said, "We are just on the way, let's go together."

Carpool?

"No problem." Hobert, who is now very rich but always saves a little, will not refuse.

In the carriage, Forsi suddenly said: "Hobert, do you think Bruce's punishment is a little inappropriate?"

"Um?"

"I don't mean anything else." Forsi said: "I also think Bruce's behavior should not be considered intentional homicide or intentional injury. However, after all, he has the tendency to harm others."

"I understand what you mean." Hobert smiled and said, "This is actually a common problem among non-legal professionals. They always like to use moral judgment to determine the standard of a person's punishment."

Forsi was stunned, it seemed like this was the case.

"Miss Fors, you need to know that people's moral standards have never been completely unified, so it is difficult to unify judgments based on morality." Hobert said:

"Just like Bruce's case, the Wyant family believes that he should spend 20 years in prison, which is obviously unreasonable. Bruce's mother believes that her son should be released in court, which is also unreasonable.

"Did you find that most of the time, the law is a compromise option. At the same time, the credibility of the law and its violent enforcement methods allow most people to abandon their own moral judgment and accept the judgment of the law.

"This is the value of the justice system."

Forsi smiled and said, "My perspective on the problem is too naive."

"No, this is my major." Hobert said: "Just like I don't know how to write books or practice medicine, everyone has something they are good at."

Forsi nodded, feeling that Hobert's explanation of the law had benefited her a lot, and the image of the protagonist in her mind became clearer.

Back at the law firm, Hobert's mind was no longer on work.

Now that the potion has been completely digested, of course he must advance as soon as possible. He had known a long time ago that the Sequence 8 potion was called "Barbarian" and had also fought against "Barbarian" Upton.

But he is still looking forward to the new abilities that barbarians will bring.

Hobert wanted to fish, but Saturday afternoon was quite busy.

First, Mr. Sean, who had already received the repayment, came to pay Hobert's commission fee of 36 pounds. Mr. Sean thanked Hobert again before leaving.

Then Mrs. Kent came to pay Hobert's commission fee of 38 pounds, and also thanked Hobert before leaving.

Since these two commissions are not cases assigned by the firm, according to the firm's regulations, Hobert only needs to pay a "reception fee" of 2 pounds to the firm for each case. After all, Hobert uses the firm's services. The venue hosted the client.

But if Hobert had chosen a fixed salary from a law firm at the beginning, then these two commission fees would have to be paid and distributed by the firm in accordance with relevant regulations.

The two cases gave Hobert a total income of 70 pounds, and the actual income after tax was 61 pounds 7 solers.

The commission fee is a service fee, and the tax rate in the Kingdom of Loen is lower than the commercial tax. However, because both incomes exceed 20 pounds, the tax standard also exceeds 10%.

This made Hobert sigh with emotion: The Loen government is still ruthless in making money.

Then he wondered if he could use the non-staff certificates issued by the Nighthawks to avoid paying taxes? I really envy Mr. Ke, he doesn’t have to pay tax on his income.

Then he envied Mr. Ke’s consumption of many occult materials that could be reimbursed, but he had to spend his own money to buy even a spoonful of night vanilla powder.

In the end, Hobert thought that his current income was higher than Mr. K. This should be the only consolation.

While he was thinking wildly, Dai Lun, who he had seen at the excavation site yesterday, came to the door with Bill's wife and wanted to entrust Hobert to defend Bill.

Originally, Hobert wanted to use Bill's case to digest the potion, but unexpectedly Mrs. Kent got there first.

However, Hobert will not refuse Bill's case. Even if he takes the new magic potion, he will continue to be a lawyer for some time in the future.

Hobert looked at the plaintiff's indictment and had enough confidence in the defense that he asked Bill's wife to sign a power of attorney.

However, the Bill family is not very wealthy. Considering that they have to repay the plaintiff's economic losses, they can only spend 10 pounds to pay the lawyer's fees.

Hobert thinks that the price is still appropriate. After all, Bill's case is much simpler.

After all this work, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and Hobert took the carriage home just in time for dinner.

After dinner, Hobert followed Christine to the study, closed the door, and said impatiently: "Father, I have digested all the 'lawyer's' potion."

Kristine was stunned: "So fast?"

"Well, several recent cases have made me realize the core of a 'lawyer'." Hobert said, "After the acting, I quickly digested the magic potion."

Christine nodded and suddenly stared at Hobert.

Hobert immediately felt the tremendous mental pressure, and he had to fight against this force with all his strength.

This pressure lasted for more than ten seconds before suddenly disappearing.

Kristine nodded: "It's really all digested."

He said: "You digest the magic potion faster than Rex and I did back then."

He asked again: "Do you want to be promoted to Sequence 8 now?"

Hobert nodded: "Yes."

"I must remind you." Christine said seriously: "The higher the sequence, the more difficult it is to obtain potion formulas and extraordinary materials. Don't forget the curse on you!"
