Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 17 A Big Income
In front of the Countess and Audrey, Ms. Lisa began to talk about Hobert's outstanding mobility today and that magical potion.

When Audrey heard about that magical doctor, she suspected that it was an Extraordinary.

Since Hobert knew such an Extraordinary doctor, would he also be an Extraordinary?
It's a pity that she has too little extraordinary knowledge to make a correct judgment, but there are still three days before the Tarot Club, and she can wait until the Tarot Club to ask Mr. "Emperor" for advice.

This gentleman knows a lot, and the key is that he is easy to get along with.

After listening to Lisa's story, Earl Hall smiled and said, "This is a reliable young gentleman who knows how to seize opportunities."

He said to Audrey: "Honey, if you have legal problems in the future, you can listen to his advice."

"Father, that's exactly what I think." Audrey smiled and said, "But before that, I have to pay 'Aslan Barton' a satisfactory reward.

"Father, is there any way I can tip Mr. Hobert a little more? I think he deserves it."

Earl Hall smiled and said: "In addition to paying the firm's remuneration, you can specify a sum of money to pay for the firm's expenses in this case.

"Generally, the firm will give the remaining money to the lawyer in charge of the case after deducting the expenses."

Usually, these things are done by the housekeeper, and Earl Hall can only give some tips to a certain lawyer at most.

Today, in order to let his daughter understand the hidden rules of Backlund society, the majestic Earl Hall will bother with such a meager expenditure of several hundred pounds.

……

On Saturday morning, Hobert accompanied Lisa to complete the procedures for Miss Hugh to be released from prison.

Hugh was still a little unbelievable when he walked out of the prison: "Mr. Hobert, it's really hard to imagine that you solved the matter in just one day."

Hobert smiled and said, "It's just luck. I happened to know a famous doctor who cured Will's paralysis."

He looked around the prison gate: "Is there no friend to pick you up?"

Xio smiled helplessly: "She may not have gotten the news yet."

Hobert said: "Then please allow me to send you back to your residence."

Xio immediately refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but I hope to take a walk in the sun."

Her face looked a little childish, and it was easy for people to overlook that she had been in Backlund for many years, and she didn't have enough trust in Hobart, so of course she couldn't let him know where she lived.

"Okay then." Hobert said to himself: It seems that we won't see Miss "Magician" today.

Huo asked for Hobert's communication method: "If I encounter any legal difficulties in the future, I hope to get your help."

Hobert nodded: "Looking forward to your patronage."

Watching Miss Hugh leave with two short legs, Hobert and Lisa returned to the law firm in a carriage.

Lisa went directly to Barton's office, and Hobert guessed it was a reward for settling the case.

It was almost noon when Lisa left, and Barton called Hobert to his office: "Miss Audrey is a generous lady, she paid the firm 200 pounds as a remuneration."

Hobert immediately did a mental calculation. He is a paralegal, and now he can only get 10% of his salary, which is 20 pounds.

This is not a small amount of income. Like the case of Mr. Henry and Mr. Robin that was dealt with in the Magistrates Court before, he only received 3 pounds of remuneration. After paying taxes, there are only 2 pounds and 12 soli left.

The weekly salary of a general legal assistant is 6 to 9 pounds, but when Hobert came to work in a law firm, Barton suggested that he should not get a weekly salary, but a commission, and Hobert followed the barrister's advice. suggestion.

Paralegals can get 10% of the total remuneration, and if they become senior assistants or lawyers, they can get 20% of the total remuneration.

If you become a barrister, you will either become a new partner of the firm, or go out and open a new law firm by yourself.

When I first became a paralegal, it was not cost-effective to choose the salary method of commission, because it is impossible to encounter a well-solved case every time, and sometimes it takes two weeks to get 3 or 4 pounds of income.

However, with Barton's support, the problem of income is not a problem at all. One of his recommendations gave Hobert an income of 20 pounds.

Seeing Hobert's happy face, Barton smiled with the mentality of watching a show: "The generous Miss Audrey also paid the firm 80 pounds to cover all the expenses of this case.

“按照惯例，扣除你用去的34磅6苏勒3便士，其余的45磅13苏勒9便士都会成为你的小费。”

Hobert opened his mouth in surprise: "This, this is a lot of income!"

Hobert's reaction made Barton laugh "haha": "This is Backlund. It has an ugly side, but it also has a beautiful side."

He said: "Congratulations, young man, because of your outstanding performance, you have earned more than 60 pounds. You must know that many middle-class people are not as rich as you are now."

After Hobert left Barton's office, he was still a little excited: Is this Backlund?It can make people poor overnight, and it can also make an ordinary person rich in the same time.

After thinking about it, Hobert gradually calmed down. He suddenly realized that such a society is actually very scary. After there are many examples of getting rich overnight, people will always want to take shortcuts and gamble , Press all your net worth in a certain investment.

He recalled the Mr. Robin he met in court before. The life of Mr. Robin's family was not bad, but he had to invest in debt and eventually bankrupt a happy family.

The excitement of getting a large sum of money for the first time gradually disappeared, and Hobert's mind gradually cleared up. Although money is very useful, he should not get lost in the world of money.

He still has a lot of things to do. He needs to summarize the "Lawyer's Code", and further explore the "Nation of Disorder", find a way to completely lift the curse of the family, find out why he travels through time, and why he has a relationship with the "Nation of Disorder". Such a close connection.

In this extraordinary world, strength is the last word!

After lamenting that he was almost blinded by money, Hobert began to summarize the gains during this period in his mind.

There was still no sign of the "lawyer's rules", but he had a better understanding of the ability of a "lawyer".

According to Hobert, the ability of a "lawyer" has two main components: finding weaknesses and distorting ideas.

Finding weaknesses is a very useful Beyonder ability, generally Sequence 9 and below, it is easy to find the opponent's weaknesses.

Distorting thoughts is not as easy to use as imagined. According to Hobert's attempts in the past few days, the main way to distort the other party's thinking is eloquence, and there is no way to obviously go against the other party's thinking.
