The digestion of the potion went more smoothly than Hobart had planned, thanks to the seriousness he took with each commission and the accumulation of contacts in exchange.

If he continues to deal with the case that Mr. Patton has assigned to him, it will be at least another two or three weeks before the potion can be fully digested.

Mr. Bob's case introduced by Robin's cousin, Mr. Shaun's case introduced by Miss Hugh, and Mr. Bruce's case introduced by Mr. Barron. These three cases prompted Hobart to digest the remaining potions in his body, and these three cases were the results of his own accumulation of connections, which was what made Hobart the most gratifying.

"Thank you, Attorney Hobert."

Bruce's sincere thank you brought Hobart back to his senses, and he smiled: "You can live happily in the future is the biggest ridicule of your past life, your family is good, and you are still young, I believe it is not difficult to do this, don't do stupid things again." ”

"Your advice 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 burst into tears, after all, Bruce was going to spend three months in a cold prison.

Hobert had a few words with Mr. Barron, and they all left.

Outside the courtroom, Hobert was just about to get into the cab when Furth came over and said, "Let's stop by." ”

Carpooling?

"No problem." He is already very rich, but Hobert, who can save a little, will naturally not refuse.

In the carriage, Forth suddenly said, "Hobert, do you think that the punishment for Bruce is a little inappropriate?" ”

"Huh?"

"I didn't mean anything else." "I also don't think Bruce's actions should be considered intentional homicide or intentional injury, but he has a tendency to hurt others. ”

"I see what you mean." Hobert smiled: "This is actually a common problem of non-legal professionals, who always like to use moral judgment to determine the standard of punishment for a person." ”

Firth was stunned, as if that was the case.

"Miss Forthth, you must know that people's moral standards have never been completely unified, so it is difficult to make judgments based on morality." Hobert Tract:

"Like Bruce's case, the Wyndents think he should be in prison for 20 years, which is obviously unreasonable. Bruce's mother thinks her son should be released in court, which is also unreasonable.

"You find that no, most of the time, the law is a compromise option. At the same time, the credibility of the law, as well as its violent means of enforcement, allow most people to abandon their moral judgments and accept the judgments of the law.

"That's the value of the justice system."

Furth smiled: "It's me who looks at the problem too naïvely. ”

"No, it's my major." "Just as I don't know how to write books or practice medicine," Hobart said, "everyone has something they are good at. ”

Furth nodded, feeling that she had benefited greatly from Hobert's explanation of the law just now, and the image of the protagonist in her mind became clearer and clearer.

Back at the law firm, Hobert's mind was long gone.

Now that the potion has been thoroughly digested, of course it is necessary to advance as soon as possible, he knew a long time ago that the potion in Sequence 8 is called "Barbarian", and he also fought with "Barbarian" Upton.

But he was still looking forward to the new abilities that the Barbarians would bring.

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

First of all, Mr. Sean, who had already been repaid, came to pay Hobert's £36 commission fee, and Mr. Sean thanked Hobart again before leaving.

Then Mrs. Kent came to pay Hobart a commission fee of 38 pounds, and thanked Hobart before leaving.

Since these two commissions were not cases assigned by the firm, according to the firm's rules, Hobart only needed to pay the firm a "reception fee" of £2 per case, after all, Hobart used the firm's premises to receive the client.

However, if Hobart chooses a fixed salary for the law firm at the beginning, then these two commission fees must be paid and distributed by the firm in accordance with the relevant regulations.

In total, the two cases resulted in Hobart receiving £70, and the actual income after tax was £61.7 Sol.

The commission fee is a service fee, and the tax rate in the Kingdom of Rune is lower than the business tax, but because both of these incomes are more than 20 pounds, the tax standard is also more than 10%.

This made Hobart not only sigh: it was the Rune government that made money hard.

Then he wondered if he could use the supernumerary documents issued by the night watchman team to avoid taxes? I really envy Mr. Ke, his income is not taxed.

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

Thinking about it in the end, Hobert thought that his current income was higher than that of the total gram, which should be the only consolation.

While he was thinking about it, Darron, who he had seen at the excavation site yesterday, came to the door with Bill's wife and wanted to entrust Hobart to defend Bill.

Originally, Hobert wanted to use Bill's case to digest the potion, but he didn't expect Mrs. Kent to "get ahead".

However, Hobert will not refuse Bill's case, and even if he takes a new potion, he will continue to be a lawyer for some time to come.

Hobert looked at the plaintiff's indictment and was sure enough of the defense to ask Bill's wife to sign a power of attorney.

However, the Bill family was not very wealthy, and in consideration of the financial losses of the plaintiff, they could only pay the lawyer's fees with 10 pounds.

Hobert thinks the price is appropriate, after all, Bill's case is much simpler.

After all this, 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 of the study, and Hobert said a little impatiently: "Father, I have digested all the potions of the 'lawyer'." ”

Christine was stunned: "So fast? ”

"Well, the last few cases have made me realize the core of 'lawyer'." Hobert said: "After playing, I quickly digested the potion. ”

Christine nodded, staring at Hobart suddenly.

Hobert immediately felt a tremendous mental pressure, and he wanted to fight this force with all his strength.

This pressure lasted for more than ten seconds before it suddenly disappeared.

Christine nodded: "It's all digested." ”

He said, "You can digest potions faster than Rex and I did back then. ”

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

Hober nodded, "Yes." ”

"I have to warn you." Christine said solemnly: "The higher the sequence, the more difficult it is to obtain potion recipes and extraordinary materials, and you must not forget the curse on your body!" ”
