Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

On the bench, the wrinkled judge shook his head to show his disapproval of Hobert's ridiculous request.

In the auditorium, Bob's co-workers were all worried about Bob. They knew that Mr. Arnold would definitely not accept 1,000 pounds of compensation, and they thought this might be Lawyer Hobert's way of bargaining.

Forsi looked at the expressionless Hobert thoughtfully. She had the illusion that she only officially met Hobert today.

Hobert in the courtroom was not annoyed by the opposing lawyer's mockery of him as a clown. He said seriously: "Defendant lawyer, you don't understand clowns at all. Behind every comedy is the core of tragedy."

The defendant's lawyer was obviously stunned, but sitting in the dock was Arnold's secretary. He coldly reminded Hobert: "Don't be too greedy. If your request exceeds the relevant laws and regulations, you will not get even 1 penny." .”

Hobert said: "Our demands are not excessive at all, but in this world, reasonable demands become excessive."

The defendant's lawyer smiled and said: "We don't have time to discuss philosophy with you. Mr. Judge, please pronounce the verdict."

The judge asked Hobert: "Plaintiff's lawyer, will you maintain the current request unchanged?"

"constant."

The judge was helpless. He cleared his throat and was about to pronounce the verdict when Hobert said again: "Your Honor, please wait a moment."

The judge smiled and said, "It seems you have changed your mind?"

"No, we withdraw this claim."

As soon as this statement came out, several exclamations were once again elicited.

Both the judge and the defendant's lawyers were confused by Hobert's move.

Just listen to Hobert continue: "We will accuse Arnold of causing my client to become disabled because of his inaction. Yes, you heard it right, we will accuse Arnold of intentional injury!"

Amid the uproar, the defendant's lawyer turned pale and said, "Your accusation is not valid! Mr. Arnold did not directly harm your client!"

"My client became disabled while working for Arnold. The causal relationship is established. Arnold has unshirkable responsibility!"

"Yes, he was disabled at work, but it was not Mr. Arnold who made him disabled. The causal relationship is not established!"

"Knowing that the machines in the workshop were dangerous, as the person in charge of the factory, Arnold failed to issue an effective warning, causing my client to become disabled. This is the consequence of Arnold's inaction, and Arnold has an unshirkable responsibility!"

The defendant's lawyer leaned back in his chair with a grim expression. He obviously needed to organize his words before he could launch a new counterattack.

At this time, there was applause from the auditorium. Although they did not understand Hobert's strategy, they knew that in this round of confrontation, Lawyer Hobert won.

Forsi also applauded. She must write this wonderful debate in her next book!

At this time, the judge belatedly knocked the gavel: "You two, your defense is already a criminal defense, and this court does not accept the result of your defense."

Hobert said: "Your Honor, I will prepare relevant materials and transfer this case to a formal court."

The judge nodded: "Okay, I wish you good luck, young man, your ideas are quite exciting. Okay, leave the court!"

Hobert once again felt signs of the potion being digested, and it was faster than expected. He estimated that even if there were no other commissions, after Bob's lawsuit was over, his potion would be completely digested.

After the judge left, Bob's co-workers came over and talked loudly with Bob.

Bob said to Hobert sincerely: "Thank you, Lawyer Hobert."

Hobert smiled and said: "This is just the first step. The real difficulty of this lawsuit is still to come."

"No, no, no, Mr. Hobert." Bob smiled: "Today I can see Baker in the dock. That Arnold's dog was so angry that his face turned blue, and he looked like I couldn't do anything about it. This The lawsuit is worth it.”

Several of his co-workers laughed wildly and said that today's trip was worthwhile.

The group of people arrived at the door of the Magistrate's Court. Bob's co-workers said hello and went back to work.

Hobert looked at their backs: "In Backlund, it's rare to see co-workers who have such a good relationship with you."

"Because we are all believers in the God of Steam and Machinery!" Bob smiled: "We often go to church together to discuss the glory of the God of Steam and Machinery."

Hobert nodded. Faith does have such an effect: "Where do you live? I will inform you of the court date in a letter, but it is estimated to be next week, or the week after."

Bob smiled bitterly and said: "I don't have a fixed residence, but I can go to the law firm every day and wait for you to get off work."

Hobert thought for a moment: "I'll send you to the workhouse."

Bob smiled bitterly again: "The workhouse does not accept disabled people."

"Then they help the poor?" Hobert sneered: "I have a way, but if someone asks you again, what is your belief, you have to answer the goddess of the night."

Bob opened his mouth: "Sorry, sir, I don't want to convert."

"I'm not asking you to convert. This is just a way to survive. It doesn't make you give up anything." Hobert said: "You can continue to believe in the gods of steam and machinery in your heart, although these gods don't care about the believers. Life or death."

Bob was a little scared: "First, sir..."

Hobert waved his hand: "Okay, it's settled. Otherwise, my client will starve to death before the lawsuit is over. This will be my shame."

He was about to wave to the taxi not far away when a simple four-wheel carriage stopped in front of them.

The car door opened, and the defendant's lawyer who was sitting on the carriage in the court just now said condescendingly: "Lawyer Hobert, I think we should discuss the facts of today's case again."

Hobert walked along the roadside and said, "I don't think that's necessary."

The defendant's lawyer had no choice but to ask the coachman to follow him slowly: "It's necessary! Please stop, please stop."

Hobert ignored the other party and continued to walk forward: "Is it polite for you to arrogantly ask others for help?"

The defendant's lawyer had no choice but to get out of the car in embarrassment: "Please get in the car, there is still room for discussion on this matter."

"Okay." Hobert helped Bob get into the car.

"Well, I think you can just come up on your own."

Hobert shook his head: "I will not negotiate with you in the absence of my client."

Defendant's lawyer: "Okay, then. Bob, don't bring your stick with you. It will damage the carpet on the car!"

Baker in the car frowned as he watched Bob getting on the car, sat on the other side of the car, and tried to distance himself from Bob.

The defendant's lawyer took out the checkbook: "How about 150 pounds? This is almost the greatest mercy of Mr. Arnold."

Hobert shook his head: "In my opinion, Arnold's kindness is so ridiculous! You two, a hound is worth 50 pounds? Don't you think such a small amount of compensation is insulting?"
