Chapter 18: Justice Office

Musk also has a unique advantage as a judicial knight.

He has obtained a lawyer's practicing certificate and is a formal member of the Royal Bar Association. He does not need to be affiliated with a law firm and can directly open his own firm.

Of course, he also knew that he was too young and would probably not be able to survive on his own in a judicial circle that valued seniority.

A more reasonable way of doing business is to register under the name of Judge Colt's firm, and use Mr. Judge's connections to more easily obtain the source of the case.

Musk told Miss Lisa his idea and easily obtained the other party's consent. The next difficult problem was to convince the Colts.

It is obviously not a wise move to leave a good lawyer alone, wield a sword, and fight for others.

At first, the Colts thought Musk was crazy and advised him to give up this stupid idea as soon as possible.

However, unable to stand up to Musk's stubbornness, and with their daughter blowing the wind next to them, the couple finally reluctantly agreed to let Musk give it a try.

However, there is a limit to youth and frivolity, and Musk must abide by one condition.

He has been working in the "Judicial Knights" industry for at most two years.

If he is still alive in two years and has all his arms and legs, he will have to reconsider his future:

Either change your career to a lawyer and marry Lisa; or leave the Colt family and never interact with her again.

The Colts feel that Musk's current mentality is the so-called "rebellious adolescence". He does not take the advice of his elders seriously, and has to go through some mistakes and suffer to realize how naive he is.

After one or two years of hard work and training, as you gradually mature, you will naturally give up your childish ideals, settle down, start a family, and work in a stable and decent job.

With the funding of Judge Colt, Musk founded a dueling agency and hired Miss Lisa as an assistant.

Perhaps, as the Colts thought, there was too much innocence left in this young man's mind.

Unlike other agents, Musk has a rule: he personally investigates disputes and determines that the employer is not wrong before accepting the order.

Judge Colt responded with good-natured ridicule to his idea.

"My dear boy, if all lawyers acted according to your principles, two things would happen."

"What two things?"

"First of all, most lawyers will starve to death, and secondly, our society will become more harmonious."

"So, for the sake of social harmony, most lawyers deserve to starve to death?"

"On the contrary, my child, for the sake of protecting the decent life of lawyers, a harmonious society really deserves to die!"

Mr. Judge laughed.



On the morning after Musk started his business, Avalon's largest circulation newspaper, The Sun, published news of the establishment of the "Colt and Justice Duel Agency."

In fact, Judge Colt has several ready-made dueling attorneys, but he doesn't want to introduce them to Musk.

After all, this is a life-threatening business!

Who would be willing to push his student and soon-to-be son-in-law to the point of a knife?

Mr. Colt would rather Musk fail to do business, give up his fantasy, and come back to him in despair as his assistant.

Therefore, he is willing to lend his surname to Musk and let Musk advertise in newspapers, which is considered to be the most benevolent thing.

Musk himself didn’t expect business to come as soon as it opened.

After lunch, he was sitting at his desk flipping through the newspaper when he suddenly heard the doorbell.

Not long after, Miss Lisa came in, holding a letter with a strange look on her face.

"Musk, do you know Lord Potter?"

"What lord, I don't have such noble friends."

"That's strange. This is a letter from your Lordship. He also specially asked the servant to send a pair of flower baskets, saying that he wishes you a prosperous business!"

Musk opened the envelope in confusion, took out the letter and looked at it twice, showing a look of surprise.

"I thought that Lord turned out to be that boy Paul Porter, but then again, he is indeed the biological son of Marquis Porter."

"Paul Porter... I heard you talk about this man, the unlucky guy who was kidnapped by pirates on Pattus Street before?"

Lisa asked.

Musk smiled and nodded.

"At that time, I saved this noble young master on the way. He said he wanted to repay me, but I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that he would still remember it."

"What did Master Potter say in the letter?" Lisa asked curiously.

"He saw in the newspaper that we had established a dueling agency. He was curious and asked someone to inquire. He learned that I had dueled with a relative of the Earl of Sandwich two months ago and defeated him. He felt that

Maybe I really have two brushes, so he invited me to have dinner and said he would introduce business to me!"

"Wow! Great, what time does the dinner start?"

"Nine o'clock."

"Ha! Dinner at this hour...well, it is quite in line with the lifestyle habits of aristocratic young men who go to bed late and get up late!"

Miss Lisa mocked casually and got busy.

"Musk, please reply to Master Potter now, and I will help you prepare your dress for the evening."

Musk hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Lisa, don't worry, I haven't decided whether to go to the banquet yet."

"Why don't you go?" Lisa turned around with a surprised look on her face, "This is a good opportunity for you to enter the upper class! Even if you fail to make a deal in the end, it won't be a loss if you can make friends with the young Marquis!"

"You are right, but..."

"Okay, my dear friend, nobles are also human beings, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

Lisa misunderstood Musk's mentality and thought that he was ashamed in front of the aristocratic young master. She felt that her status was not worthy of the other's warm invitation, so she came over and hugged him.

"My dear, you just lack social experience. It's my fault. I will look for more opportunities to take you to banquets in the future."

"Okay, Lisa, I will reply to Master Potter right away."

Musk sighed and sat back at his desk.

There were some things he was too embarrassed to say directly to Lisa.

Paul Porter is a very good friend, but his only shortcoming is his lust for sex.

The reason why he was kidnapped on Pattus Street was because he was looking for flowers.

Today he invited himself to the dinner. It was not a family dinner as Lisa thought.

In the letter, Master Porter hinted that by inviting Musk to a "very exciting" secret party, he could get to know many important people in the aristocratic circle, and he might even have the opportunity to help his "Agency Duel Agency" to attract business.

What does "a very exciting secret party" mean?

Miss Lisa may not quite understand.

However, Musk Justice, who comes from a lower class of society, from circus to gangsters, and is accustomed to flesh-trading, is there anything he can do about it?

It was precisely because of this scruple that he was reluctant to accept Master Potter's invitation, and he couldn't tell Lisa clearly.
