Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Chapter 17 A large amount of income

In front of the countess and Audrey, Ms. Lisa began to tell about Hobert's outstanding action today and the magical potion.

When Audrey heard about the magical doctor, she suspected that he was an extraordinary person.

Since Hobert knows such an Extraordinary doctor, could he also be an Extraordinary?

It's a pity that she has too little extraordinary knowledge to make a correct judgment. However, there are still three days until the Tarot meeting, so she can wait until the Tarot meeting 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: "Dear, if you have any legal problems in the future, you can listen to his opinion."

"Father, this is exactly what I think." Audrey smiled: "But before that, I have to pay Aslan Barton a satisfactory reward.

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

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

"Generally, after deducting the expenses, the remaining money will be given to the lawyer responsible for the case."

Normally, these things are done by the housekeeper, and the most Earl Hall can do is give an order to tip a certain lawyer.

Today, in order to let his daughter understand the underlying rules of Backlund society, the dignified Earl Hall would only care about such a meager expenditure of several hundred pounds.

On Saturday morning, Hobert accompanied Lisa and completed the formalities for Miss Hugh to be released from prison.

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

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

He looked around the prison door: "Don't you have any friends coming to pick you up?"

Xio smiled helplessly: "Maybe she hasn't gotten the news yet."

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

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

Her face looks a little childish, and it is easy for people to ignore that she has been working in Backlund for many years. She does not have enough trust in Hobert, and of course she cannot let him know where she lives.

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

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

Hobert nodded: "Looking forward to your patronage."

After watching Miss Xio leave with two short legs, Hobert and Lisa took the carriage back to the law office.

Lisa went directly to Barton's office for what Hobert guessed was payment for settling the case.

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

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

This was a considerable amount of income. For example, in the previous case of Mr. Henry and Mr. Robin in the Magistrates' Court, he only received 3 pounds, and after paying taxes, he was left with only 2 pounds 12 sores.

The average weekly salary of a paralegal is 6 to 9 pounds. However, when Hobert came to work in a law firm, Barton suggested that he should not take a weekly salary but a commission. Hobert listened to 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 in the firm or go out and open a new law firm on your own.

When I first became a paralegal, it was not cost-effective to choose a commission-based salary method because it was impossible to get a well-solved case every time. Sometimes it would take two weeks to get an income of 3 or 4 pounds.

However, with Barton's support, the issue of income was no longer a problem. One of his recommendations gave Hobert an income of 20 pounds.

When Barton saw Hobert's face beaming, he smiled as if he were watching a show: "The generous Miss Audrey also paid the firm 80 pounds to cover all the expenses in this case.

"As a rule, after deducting the 34 pounds, 6 soles and 3 pence you used, the remaining 45 pounds, 13 soles and 9 pence will become your tip."

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

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

He said: "Congratulations to you young man, because of your outstanding performance, you have gained an income of 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 a person impoverished overnight, and it can also turn an ordinary person into a rich man in the same amount of 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 inevitably want to take shortcuts and gamble. , all of his net worth was invested in a certain investment.

He recalled the Mr. Robin he had seen in court before. Mr. Robin's family was originally living well, but he had to go into debt to invest, eventually bankrupting a happy family.

The excitement of getting a large amount of money for the first time gradually disappeared, and Hobert's mind gradually became clear. Although money is very useful, it cannot be lost in the world of money.

He still has a lot of things to do, including summarizing the "lawyer's code", further exploring the "State of Disorder", trying to find a way to completely lift the family curse, and find out why he traveled through time and why he is related to the "State of Disorder" Such a close connection.

In this extraordinary world, strength is the last word!

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

There was still no trace of the "lawyers' code", but he had a better understanding of the abilities of "lawyers".

In Hobert's view, the ability of a "lawyer" mainly consists of two parts: finding weaknesses and twisting ideas.

Finding weaknesses is a very useful extraordinary ability. Generally, with sequence 9 and below, it is easy to find the opponent's weaknesses.

Distorting ideas is not as effective as imagined. According to Hobert's attempts in the past few days, the main way to distort the other party's ideas is through eloquence, and there is no way to obviously violate the other party's ideas.
