Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 12 Audrey's Beauty
On Thursday morning, Hobert accompanied Barton in the law firm's carriage to Earl Hall's residence.

On the carriage, Barton introduced: "Earl Hall is a nobleman with far-reaching vision and a wise mind. When most lords are still living on land and family property, Earl Hall has already actively submitted money to the bank. industry and emerging industrial investments.”

Hobert nodded, isn't it "Justice" her father, he still has a little impression.

Barton said with emotion: "The reforms of the Loen Kingdom over the 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 went into decline.

"However, nobles value dignity very much. Even if there is any dispute between them, the first thing they think of is to negotiate and resolve it in private. If it really goes to court, it means that the two sides will completely tear each other apart. For some wealth and assets, they can disregard their status as nobles. decent."

Barton is deeply trusted by Earl Hall. Generally, the Earl will ask Barton to help review the contract when there is an important transaction or cooperation. When encountering any economic disputes, he will also listen to Barton's opinions.

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

As soon as you enter the door, there is a huge garden with sculptures, fountains, a huge lawn, and trimmed landscape trees.

The lawn is the symbol of the nobility in this era. Ordinary people don't know how to grow grass, because there is no profit in planting grass, and it takes time to take care of it.

Only nobles who do not rely on these lands to live will choose to grow grass.

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

Hobert and Barton took a carriage to a three-storey European-style building that looked very imposing. Earl Hall's butler was already waiting outside the door.

The butler politely exchanged a few words with Barton, and at the same time, he did not forget to praise Hobert for his outstanding talent.

Then Barton and Hobert entered the door under the guidance of the butler. As soon as they entered the door, there was a grand hall with many artists' works on the walls, and most of the furnishings were priceless antiques.

Earl Hall is waiting in front of the door of a living room. Although the years have left obvious marks on this earl, he is still very handsome. It is conceivable that when he was young, he must have fascinated many girls. noble.

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

"Your complexion is also like the morning sun, which makes people feel warm." Barton greeted: "Yes, Earl, he is a top student of Backlund University, a very nice young man."

Earl Hall looked at Hobert. He had black hair, dark eyes, handsome features, especially a bright and bright smile, like a young man from a neighbor's house.

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

"Father!" A crisp cry made the three of them stop and follow the sound.

Hobert saw a peerless beauty walking towards him gracefully. 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 stare blankly, this is definitely the most beautiful lady he has seen in two lifetimes.

Barton reminded by clearing his throat, and Hobert came back to his senses. He said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Earl, and this beautiful girl, 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 obsession or filth in Hobert's eyes, but pure shock and admiration for the beauty. Such concentration is rare among young people. The key point is that the other party apologized generously, which made Earl Hall even more Appreciate this young man.

This impossibly beautiful girl is naturally Miss Justice Audrey.

Hobert sighed, it's no wonder "Mr. Ke" lost his composure the first time he met Audrey, and wondered if she was a "witch". She was indeed too beautiful.

The count asked Audrey who was approaching: "My beautiful daughter, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, Mr. Barton." The good upbringing made Audrey greet Barton cordially first, and did not forget to give Hobert a warm smile.

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

"Of course." Earl Hall said dotingly.

Button 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 inquire about legal knowledge, I think I can ask Hobert to work for you."

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

Barton nodded: "Yes."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Hobert was slightly taken aback. He probably understood that Barton was recommending himself to the next generation of the Earl.

In the legal circle of Ruen, it is generally students or assistants who are considered promising by the barristers, who will recommend them to their main clients or their descendants.

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

But the problem is, Hobert thought that as long as he digested the potion, he might leave the office. Why did Barton train himself in this way?

But this is not the time to think about it. Hobert bowed slightly to Audrey and said, "I am happy to help you."

Audrey obviously didn't trust Hobert a little bit, but because of Mr. Button's face, she said: "Alright then, Mr. Hobert, please follow me."

Watching the two young men leave, Earl Hall smiled and said, "I'm also considering finding a young man as an assistant."

He sighed: "It's good to be young, it always makes people feel full of vigor, and I feel full of strength now."

Button smiled and said, "Then let's get to work."

The two entered the reception room while talking.

On the other side, Audrey brought Hobert to the garden, but compared with Audrey, the most beautiful flowers here are a bit eclipsed.

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

Hobert was taken aback, he couldn't say that he had handled one case in total: "I have read many related cases, and I can help you analyze and make suggestions. If you need to solve it in court, you can ask Mr. Button to come forward. "

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

Hobert was taken aback: "Miss Justice, isn't that friend of yours Hugh?"
