Mystery: The Stars Returner

"Yes, we are best friends!"

Grek laughed, and Hastur smiled too.

Although Greco's visit made him a little overwhelmed, fortunately, as a lawyer, he did have a strong ability to persuade others.

After this matter was over, Greco asked Hastur about his current life. He could only try to pick some good aspects to talk about.

For example, I was studying the law seriously and was praised by Professor Wayne. I went to the court to learn how the law demonstrates its justice...

Greco frowned after listening for a while and said: "It is naturally a good thing to study the law and understand the national conditions, but you don't really want to be a lawyer, do you?"

"I have this idea." Hasta did not hide it.

"Hasta, it's not good for you to be like this. You are a noble, and you will definitely not be limited to the status of baron in the future. You should have a broader future."

"Greck, I am more determined than you think when it comes to restoring the glory of the Campbell family. Becoming a lawyer does not mean that I will leave my aristocratic status. It is just a little hobby of mine."

Greco's expression softened again and he asked tentatively: "Do you need me to help you prepare a law firm in Queens?"

He originally wanted to send him to a law firm directly, but he changed his mind because he was afraid that Hasta would think that his actions were insulting the friendship between the two.

Hasta shook his head and said: "Queens is not a suitable place to open a law firm. I prefer Hillston District, where the business is the most prosperous and where lawyers are more needed."

"No problem, let me solve this matter for you. Don't be polite to me anymore."

Grek decided on the matter directly and did not allow Hastur to refuse.

He has already planned that when Hasta opens a law firm in Hillston, he will help with a large business deal.

Based on their family's business investment in the Hillston area, Hasta would probably need to hire several more barristers if he wanted to take over this part of the business.

"Ok."

Hastur sighed and did not refuse Grek's kindness.

In fact, he really wanted to try to restore the Campbell family to its former glory through his own efforts, rather than relying on the convenient channels brought by his friends.

There was no way around it, it was really normal for nobles to help each other, especially since his good friend had a really powerful family background.

Greg Negan, his father is Duke Negan, the leader of the Conservative Party, the largest landed aristocrat besides the king, and the brother of the current prime minister.

His words can really save someone from struggling for ten years, or even a lifetime.

Alas, this feeling of being taken care of by others really makes people want to work harder the more they think about it.

"Hasta, there is one more thing I need to remind you.

Although Mrs. Gemani is good, you are still young and not married yet, so you should be careful. "

"??!"

Three big question marks flashed across Hastur's forehead.

No, I only talked to Mrs. Gemani once!

During this time, when I went to the court to hear the trial in the afternoon, I tried to avoid her as much as possible, and the only reply I received clearly stated my attitude.

But now listening to the tone of Greco's words, it seems that he has some improper relationship with Mrs. Germani?

How can this prove someone's innocence out of thin air?

Chapter 16 If you can't refuse, then lie down and enjoy it

Hastur said with a dark face, "Grek, you should believe in my aesthetics and morality."

This kind of inexplicable blame must not be carried away!

"You really have nothing to do with Mrs. Germani?"

"no!"

"But when someone asked Mrs. Gemeni about you, she said with a satisfied look: You are a man who is far more mature and reliable than he looks on the outside."

"..."

Hasta didn't know what to say for a moment. Mrs. Germani's answer really demonstrated the art of speaking!

Even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn't raise an issue over this matter. After all, in a literal sense, Germani was praising herself.

But coupled with a satisfied expression, it is easy for people to have daydreams and misunderstandings. He does not believe that Mrs. Gemani is not aware of this.

Hastur didn't want to discuss this issue anymore. In this kind of matter, he was no match for Mrs. Germani.

"Grek, don't you have to deal with things today?"

"After I have lunch with you, I will go back and deal with those things in the afternoon."

"I don't have a chef here yet..." Hasta was a little embarrassed.

Greco smiled and said: "I just wanted to try Intis-style lunch."

"...Grek, do you want to make my finances even worse?"

"As a qualified nobleman, it is worth paying a little price to maintain the necessary dignity." The smile on Greco's face became even brighter.

"Grek, do you know where there is a place that sells blood?"

"This service should be provided in the East District."

"Ugh……"

……

The two chatted for a while, during which many wealthy businessmen and minor nobles living nearby came to visit.

Greco had no intention of avoiding suspicion. Instead, he and Hastur enthusiastically received the visiting guests.

Hastur knows what he means. This is to let others understand that even if the Campbell family has declined, there is still him, Greg Negan, as a solid backing.

Near noon, the two sent away all the visitors and rode Gleick's luxurious carriage to the luxurious Intis restaurant.

Greg was obviously a regular visitor here, and he skillfully ordered a large table of luxurious dishes, while Hasta ordered two complementary desserts.

This Intis restaurant is said to have inherited the taste of Emperor Russell's hometown, and the cuisine it produces is different from the food desert like Loen.

Hastur liked the taste of these dishes very much, especially a few plates of exquisite side dishes paired with a bowl of rice, which made him very satisfied.

After enjoying lunch, Greco naturally asked the accompanying attendant to pay the bill, without worsening Hastur's fragile financial situation.

"I will arrange a position as a legal advisor for you at Bavart Bank. You don't have to go to work on weekdays. You can go when you want to."

"As for the weekly salary, well, it will be only 10 pounds for the time being."

"You don't have to rush to refuse. I have my own selfish reasons for arranging this."

Greco has realized that Hastur's financial situation is far more difficult than he thought. As a friend, he must provide all the help he can.

"No, Greg, you still overestimate my financial situation.

I really didn’t intend to refuse…” Hastur sighed inwardly, his eyes complicated, and he remained silent.

He had already figured it out. Since he couldn't refuse, he would just lie down and enjoy it.

With a weekly salary of 10 pounds, the annual salary can be more than 500 pounds, which is enough for a family of three to maintain a relatively decent life. They can also go to work when they want. If they don't want to go to work, they don't have to ask for leave or say hello in advance.

This kind of work is like putting a bowl of soft rice in front of you and feeding yourself carefully.

Seeing that Hastur did not refuse, Grek had a smile on his face, and at the same time he also regretted that he should have increased his weekly salary several times more just now to better help his good friend survive this period of poverty.

But if he does this, Hastur may not accept his kindness easily.

Alas, Hastur is good everywhere, but he can't save face.

Otherwise, I can give him another house in Queens and a plantation that can generate regular income every year.

……

After Greco left, Hasta looked at the time. It was two-twenty, and there was still time to go to the court to hear the trial.

But before that, he still needed to buy two stained glass windows, and he was still used to sleeping in his original bedroom.

After shopping around, he bought it, which cost him a total of 6 pounds and 8 soles!

No matter how expensive it is, you still have to pay for it.

After paying the money, he led the two workers home to install the glass, and then he locked the doors and windows and went out.

Sitting in the carriage, Hastur was thinking about what he would do next.

Digesting the lawyer's potion is the top priority.

Listening to Professor Wayne's lectures and going to the court to observe and learn, although it can speed up the digestion of the potion, it is not as fast as playing the role of a lawyer yourself.

The reason why he did not refuse Greco's arrangement today was because of this consideration.

Bafat Bank is one of the major banks in Loen. As a lawyer consultant there, it is obvious that it can contact and handle some commercial cases.

And he is also planning for his future. For himself, the real way to make money should be the investment industry.

After all, I know the major events that will happen in Loen and other countries in the Northern Continent in the next few years. There are few places where it is easier to get the latest news than the bank.

You should find a time to confirm the barbarian potion formula. Let’s do it tonight. As soon as possible, you can confirm whether it is true or false, so that you can start collecting extraordinary materials earlier.

According to the latest news from Chief Reed, Andrew Wilson was not caught. This is something that needs attention.

He had a hunch that Andrew Wilson was most likely an extraordinary person.

After you have a stable weekly salary, you should also hire a suitable housekeeper and let him arrange all the chores at home. As for three or two maids, the chef is the most important.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the door of the court. After paying the money, Hasta took out his pocket watch and checked the time. Then, based on past experience, he stood far away from the crowd and waited until the familiar voice of the justice came from the court. He walked in slowly.

"what……"

Hastur glanced at the seats in the last row and found that all the empty seats were occupied.

This time, the people who came were no longer mostly noble ladies, but also many male nobles.

.

It seems like something big is going to happen today.

Hastur looked around and finally found an empty seat in the third row from the bottom.

After listening for a while, Hastur understood why so many nobles came to the court today, because both the defendant and the plaintiff were nobles.

One is a conservative party representing the interests of the established aristocrats, and the other aristocrat is a liberal party representing the interests of capitalists.
