Mystery: The Stars Returner

Chapter 16 If you can’t refuse, just lie down and enjoy it (page 12)

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, Greco, you still overestimated my financial situation. I really didn't want to refuse..." Hastur sighed in his heart, his eyes were 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 majority of people who came were no longer 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.

With this level of relationship, no matter how small a friction occurs, it may escalate into a major incident.

The issues between the two sides revolved around a coal mine.
