Chapter 588 Justice Office
Musk has another unique advantage as a judicial knight.
He has obtained a lawyer's license and is an official 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 knows that he is too young and he may not be able to get along in the judicial circle that values qualifications.
A more reasonable way of operation is to register under the name of Judge Colt's firm and use the judge's connections to obtain cases more easily.
Musk told Miss Lisa about his idea and easily got her consent. The next problem is to convince the Colts.
It is obviously not a wise move to give up being a good lawyer and wield a sword to duel for others.
At first, the Colts thought Musk was crazy and advised him to give up this stupid idea as soon as possible.
However, Musk was stubborn and his daughter was blowing the wind beside him. Finally, the couple reluctantly agreed to let Musk give it a try.
However, there is a limit to youthful arrogance. Musk must abide by one condition.
He can work in the "judicial knight" industry for two years at most.
If he is still alive and well after two years, he will have to reconsider his future:
Either change his career to become a lawyer and marry Lisa; or leave the Colt family and never contact them again.
The Colts feel that Musk's current mentality is the so-called "rebellious adolescence". He does not take the advice of the elderly seriously. He has to fall and suffer before he realizes how naive he is.
After a year or two of beating and training, he will gradually mature and naturally give up his childish ideals, settle down to start a family, and engage in a stable and decent job.
With the funding of Judge Colt, Musk founded an agency duel firm and hired Miss Lisa as an assistant.
Perhaps, as the Colts think, there are too many naive elements left in the mind of this young man.
Unlike other agents, Musk set a rule: personally investigate the dispute and accept the order only when he determines that the employer is not in the wrong.
Judge Colt responded with a kind laugh at his idea.
"My dear child, if all lawyers follow your principles, two things will happen."
"What two things?"
"First, most lawyers will starve to death, and second, 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 lives of lawyers, a harmonious society is really damned!"
The judge laughed.
...
On the morning of the second day after Musk started his business, the Sun, the largest circulation newspaper in Avalon, published the news of the establishment of "Colt and Justice Duel Agency".
In fact, Judge Colt has several ready-made duel agency cases, but he doesn't want to introduce them to Musk.
After all, this is a life-threatening business!
Who is willing to push his student and future son-in-law to the edge of a knife?
Mr. Colt would rather Musk fail to do business, give up his fantasy, and come back to be his assistant in disgrace.
So, he was willing to lend his surname to Musk and let Musk write GG in the newspaper, which was considered to be the most righteous thing.
Musk himself did not expect to have business coming in as soon as he opened the business.
After lunch, he sat at his desk and flipped through the newspaper, and suddenly heard the doorbell.
Not long after, Miss Lisa came in with a letter, looking a little strange.
"Musk, do you know Lord Porter?"
"What Lord? I don't have such a noble friend."
"That's strange, this is a letter from the Lord to you, and he specially asked the servant to send a pair of flower baskets, saying that he wished you a prosperous business!"
Musk opened the envelope in confusion, took out the letter and looked at it twice, revealing a look of surprise.
"I thought it was some Lord, but it turned out to be Paul Porter, but then again, he is indeed the son of the Marquis of Porter."
"Paul Porter... I heard you mention this person, the unlucky guy who was kidnapped by pirates on Patus Street before?"
Lisa asked.
Musk smiled and nodded.
"I saved this noble young master on the way, and he said he wanted to repay me. I didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect he would remember it."
"What did Master Potter say in the letter?" Lisa asked curiously.
"He saw in the newspaper that we had established a duel agency, and he was curious, so he asked someone about it. He learned that I had dueled with a relative of Earl Sandwich two months ago and defeated him. He thought I might be really good, so he invited me to dinner and said he would introduce business to me!"
"Wow! That's great. What time does the dinner start?"
"Nine o'clock."
"Ha! Eating dinner at this time... Well, it's quite in line with the lifestyle of noble young masters who go to bed late and get up late!"
Miss Lisa mocked casually and got busy.
"Musk, write back to Master Porter now, and I'll help you prepare the dress for the evening."
Musk hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help saying, "Lisa, don't worry, I haven't decided whether to go to the banquet yet."
"Why not?" Lisa turned around, looking surprised, "This is a good opportunity for you to enter the upper class! Even if you fail to make a deal in the end, it's not a loss to make friends with Master Marquis!"
"You're 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 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 friendly guy, 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 banquet, not as Lisa thought, to attend the family banquet.
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 also have the opportunity to help his "Agency Duel Agency" to attract business.
What does "a very exciting secret gathering" mean?
Miss Lisa may not quite understand.
However, Musk Justice, who comes from a lower class of society, from circus to gangsters, and is used to flesh-trading, can he still think 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.
