"As for this partnership plan, let's wait for a while. Otherwise, Adrian Law Firm will be the target of many arrows, as Emperor Russell said, which will be detrimental to future development.
But if you plan to become a judge, or if something happens to your firm, this plan will come in handy."
Huang Tao, why do you exist everywhere! No wonder Klein complains about you so much. You have installed all the X’s that a time traveler can have. What will the next generation do?
"Okay." Rawls could only agree. It seems that this plan can only be implemented after he officially enters the world of extraordinary people and is unable to manage the office. However, it seems that he has never managed it.
Office!
"Okay, that's it for today." Edmund picked up the walnut cane leaning against the wall, stood up and walked towards the door.
"Let me see you off." Rawls stood up quickly. He did not feel comfortable for a moment with such an old gentleman and elder.
"No need." Edmund walked to the door, turned around and said, "During your break, remember to interact more with other law firms, and get along well with the barristers in your own firm. You can't always do everything.
Let me, a sixty-year-old man, help you deal with it!"
"Okay, okay." What else could Rawls say? He could only nod in agreement.
"Also, attend more balls, banquets, and salons. The Adrian family wants you to pass on the legacy!"
Edmund looked at Rawls with a sneer on his face, paused his cane, and said angrily: "I'm leaving! You go back!"
Rawls could only watch Edmund leave, and he didn’t know what Edmund would say if he sent him off again!
…………
Rawls hired a two-wheeled light carriage nearby and returned to his residence on Gatton Street in the West End. It was a two-story garden villa with a dozen rooms, stables and servants' rooms.
Perhaps because he had been renting a bunkhouse to sleep in his early years, Mason had a deep desire for a house, and he only wanted to buy a house but not rent it. Even when Rawls rebelled and went to Tingen to go to school, where he studied for up to seven years, Mason was there.
Tingen bought a small villa worth about 1,500 pounds.
Since Rawls returned to Tingen, the small villa has been rented out like Adrian's two other properties in Backlund. After deducting the taxes required, these three properties can generate an annual income of about 800 pounds.
The price of the garden villa where Rawls currently lives is probably close to 7,000 pounds, but so far, only Rawls lives in this luxurious villa. After Mason's death, the predecessor fired the housekeeper and servants.
He returned to Tingen and spent half a year completing his studies. After returning to Backlund, he concentrated on his work and even spent most of his time resting in the lounge of the office. He only hired people to clean the villa regularly.
Rawls did not re-hire the servants. He had too many secrets in his body, and he was an Extraordinary. The existence of the law of aggregation of Extraordinary characteristics may attract Extraordinaries from similar paths at any time. This is the wealthy and aristocratic district of Backlund.
At the junction of , it can be said that the Extraordinaries of the "Arbiter" path can be caught in large numbers.
If, like "The Return of President Ke", he hires a group of servants with various problems, he is not like Klein, who is a cat raised by the goddess of the night and has a Source Castle himself, and he might be instantly cold.
It's cold.
Rawls guessed that Mason lived here to better collect intelligence. There are a large number of rich people living in the West End, and Queens, which the aristocrats prefer, is only one street away from here. Walk through the Williams Street next door.
Street is Queens. After all, the housing prices here are too high, and Mason's identity is not very suitable for this place.
However, Mason has lived here for nearly thirty years, and his identity has probably been verified by the people from the "Nighthawks" team in the West District. I just don't know whether it was the "Viscount of Fear" Bird Mustang who helped cover up the past, or whether Mason himself relied on it.
The ability to cover up the past.
In the original work, Baron Rafter Pound, a descendant of the Tudor family, was able to hide from Klein's channeling and hypnosis. Although Klein was only the Sequence 8 "Joker" at the time, he was still the "Soothsayer" sequence. If it weren't for Klein
In the end, he kept a secret, and the source castle, a big killer, would be completely concealed.
Mason is a "lawyer"! He is best at finding loopholes in language and telling the truth while avoiding important points. But every word a lawyer says is true, but it does not mean that the lawyer tells the truth. Lawyers can use the truth to pile up lies.
of.
With a creak, Rawls opened a utility room in the villa. There was a once-abandoned underground storage room here, which was discovered by his predecessor and became his secret room.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Rawls coughed. The predecessor of this secret room had not been opened for nearly a year. In addition, there was no ventilation in the secret room, making the air in the secret room almost non-circulating.
After waiting for a few minutes, Rawls felt that it was almost done, and then walked into the secret room. He turned on the gas lamp, and the warm yellow light instantly cast through the long underground stairs, illuminating the dark underground secret room.
This secret room is not very big. There is only an oak bookcase leaning against one side of the wall. Next to the bookshelf is a dark red desk. Several books are piled messily on the table. There are cloths on the table, books and the glass of the bookcase.
Full of dust.
"It seems that there is no way to study today."
Rawls sighed, feeling ecstatic in his heart. After all, any learning is a matter of mental effort. What's more, because his predecessor did not study these seriously, he had no way to take shortcuts and had to learn it all over again.
No, when did I have such an idea?
Rawls frowned. This was not an idea that his character could have. If it were other unimportant matters, his previous life might be postponed for a few days, but it would never be too long; but as long as it was an important matter
I will never delay, not to mention that this is a matter that is at stake for my life.
At noon, when I was thinking about my plans for the future, the same thing happened. I thought that I would not have a good time in the future, so I lay on the sofa for a few hours with peace of mind. If Uncle Robert hadn't come over, I might still be in the office.
Lying down.
Is it because of the influence of the magic potion? But my predecessor and I have almost digested the magic potion, and we only have a suitable opportunity to advance to Sequence 8.
Or is it the influence of time travel? But I didn’t feel anything was wrong myself! Unfortunately, lawyers don’t have the ability to see others and can only sense the other party’s emotions from their movements and expressions.
Is it the reason why my predecessor lost control or the reason why I traveled through time?
"How long has it been since you came here?"
A man's voice suddenly appeared!
Rawls turned his head and looked at the entrance to the secret room above the stairs in horror.
