Mystery: Shadow of Order Chapter 6

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Rawls got up from the sofa. He was no longer as lazy as he was just now. He had already heard who the visitor was from the knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Click.

After the door was opened, an old man walked in. He was of medium build, and his hairline receded quite severely like most men in Luen, but he was quite neatly combed, and he was wearing a straight black tuxedo.

He frowned slightly, and his gray-blue eyes stared at Rawls, who was dressed in a dressing gown, and sighed lightly: "Rolls, I have said many times, don't wear a dressing gown in the office. If there are guests visiting , to see you dressed like this will think that the Adrian family lacks etiquette."

Rawls shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Meeting in a dressing gown will make my guests feel that our relationship is close, which is more conducive to further development, isn't it? Uncle Robert."

The dressing gown is an Intis-inspired home attire that men can wear to stay at home, or as an intimate expression to entertain guests at receptions or dinner parties. But in the conservative Ruen style, only a few young men wear it like this. They are tired of stiff and tight three-piece suits and choose to meet guests in their dressing gowns at home or in the office. This aroused the disgust of many old gentlemen of Ruen, not to mention that this Edmund Robert was the etiquette teacher of Rawls and his father Mason Adrian.

Edmund Robert, fifty-nine years old this year, is the youngest son of a baron, so he did not inherit the title. After his father's death, he didn't share much property, and he didn't have a good relationship with his brother who inherited the title, so Edmund, who had a good etiquette upbringing, chose to become an etiquette teacher in order to live, specializing in teaching those who had just entered the upper class. The rich but lack of etiquette training.

Edmund's etiquette teaching career didn't come to an end until he met Mason. Mason had been famous in Backlund for many years at that time, but he had not joined any law firm, and he also had considerable savings, so he chose to open a law firm of his own.

But Mason, who has always been a "running single gang", had no idea how to open a law firm. After discussing the matter with Edmund, who was teaching Mason etiquette at the time, Edmund volunteered and helped Mason to open up today's Adrian Lawyers together. office. At the beginning of its establishment, Mason was only responsible for the reputation of the firm, and Edmund was responsible for the daily work of the firm. The cooperation of the two made Adrian Law Firm a well-known law firm in Beckland.

If it wasn't for Edmund's belief in the Lord of the Storm and Mason's belief in the Evernight Goddess, then with the friendship between the two, Edmund would definitely become the godfather of his predecessor. Although Edmund did not become the predecessor's godfather, the relationship between the two was very close, not only because the predecessor had followed Edmund to learn etiquette since childhood, but also because the father-son relationship between the predecessor and Mason was not good, otherwise they would not have run to the Tingen went to school.

After Mason's death, if Edmund hadn't helped his predecessor to stabilize people's hearts, even if his predecessor became a "lawyer", it would not have been so easy to take over the firm. After all, those big lawyers would not be mistreated in any firm. In order to inspire his predecessor, Edmund began to play the role of Mason's "strict father", and to Rawls was the "Adrian family" at every turn, as if the Adrian family were some hereditary nobles.

Edmund closed the door, took a few steps forward, pointed out the window and said, "You have to remember, Rawls. This is Loen, and you are a barrister, and it is Loen who communicates with you. They don't think you are showing intimacy to them by dressing like this, they will only think that you don't respect them, and the honor of the Adrian family will be tarnished."

"Precisely because my guests are all from families with etiquette education, someone will naturally inform me before they come to visit. At that time, I will definitely make all preparations to welcome my distinguished guests." Rawls pointed to Changsha. Facing a wooden door across from him, that was his locker room and lounge.

"Rolls!" Edmund looked serious and paused for the cane made of walnut in his hand, "Your father never used sophistry in non-court areas after he learned etiquette."

Rawls took a few steps back like a conditioned reflex. Mason also had the same cane, but the previous impression was not friendly at all.

"Sorry, Uncle Robert."

Rawls was very helpless. Ever since he knew Mason's true identity, he had always suspected that Mason's study of etiquette was just for better intelligence, but he couldn't directly tell Edmund that Mason had bad intentions.

Edmund's expression softened slightly, he sat on the single sofa in the second seat, leaned his cane against the wall, and said, "Are you still going to take over those small cases?"

He has always been very dissatisfied with Rawls taking over those small cases. It is not that he is dissatisfied with the small amount of money he can earn. Rawls is not short of money, but thinks that these are good for the Adrian family. It's useless. It's better to participate in some charitable activities if you have these time, and you can earn more fame.

"No, although these cases are not big, there is too little valid evidence and they are all troublesome, so I plan to rest for a while." Rawls waved his hand. These cases really made him feel tired, especially today Only together, almost overturned.

"Well, that's fine too." Edmund nodded, "Because of your actions during this period, some of the barristers in the firm are very dissatisfied."

Rawls frowned and asked, "Is it troublesome? Who are they?"

He really didn't think about it so much at the beginning, he just wanted to try the ability of a "lawyer", and he didn't care about how much he could get paid. It seems that he disturbed the "market price" and let the barrister of his law firm have something to do with it. dissatisfied.

"Humph! With me here, it's not their turn to point fingers at the office." The voice was full of confidence. After all, he and Mason founded the office together, and Edmund was in charge of the daily work of the office. More to go.

"Uncle, I have an idea, can you take a look at it?"

Rawls walked to the desk, dug out a piece of paper from the notebook, and handed it to Edmund. This is his way back. If he really has no talent as a "lawyer", he plans to "retire", become a manager with peace of mind, and use time to dilute the effect of the potion on him, as long as he doesn't get out of control.

Edmund took out his hand-held single-handled glasses from his arms. The lenses were made of crystal, the frame and single handle were made of silver, and the single handle with intricate patterns was inlaid with an emerald. He's getting older and his eyes are starting to fade, but he doesn't like the kind of framed eyes that he wears all the time, which can make a mark on the bridge of his nose.
