The lawyer looked at his employer's despondent appearance and sighed slightly to express his regret for the loss of a life. He said softly, "Madam, I reminded you before that putting a collar and leash on your beloved dog will not make it sad …"
Before they came, the lawyer had reminded the mother and son more than once.
This was not their country, and the people here did not recognize this unique small ornamental dog.
For the backward and ignorant society, as long as it was not a human, it could be regarded as a kind of food. Even in some extreme environments, humans could be their food of choice. Therefore, putting a leash on a dog was not restricting the dog's freedom, but an expression of love.
However, the lady did not agree with such a suggestion. She believed that if you loved a dog, you should give it freedom. Only a free dog was a happy dog. She even asked the lawyer to treat her as a human, not a dog.
Now that these problems had been solved, the lawyer wanted to laugh a little.
However, his professionalism made him look regretful. "The past is over. What's more important for you now is how to take your husband's inheritance from the illegitimate child.
If you have this money, you can find ten or a hundred similar puppies to replace the damage it caused you when it left you. "
It was unknown which sentence moved Mr. Simon's wife. Her expression gradually changed, and her eyes focused. "You're right. I should have listened to you before. You're a professional. So, what should we do now?"
The lawyer quickly got into his role. "I heard that before Mr. Simon passed away, he seemed to have some friendship with Mr. Lynch. Mr. Lynch is one of the shareholders of the Nagalil Joint Development Company, and he is fully responsible for the commercial cooperation and development in the Mengu Province.
"He is a very good friend of the provincial governor. Some people think that he has almost obtained the same power as the provincial governor. If we can persuade Mr. Lynch to stand on our side, then the child has no chance of winning."
Mr. Simon's son, who was sitting on the side, repeated the name. "Mr. Lynch?"
He had never heard of this name. Their country did not have any deep international relations with Nagalil or the Federation. Lynch was also at the bottom of the list of shareholders of the joint development company.
After all, in this kind of commercial development that involved the country as a carrier and unit, Lynch's small company was too unknown to be placed at the top.
When other countries reported on this matter, they would naturally only focus on the big financial groups at the top of the list and ignore the people at the bottom.
Therefore, it was normal that he did not know Lynch.
The lawyer nodded. "Mr. Lynch is a very special person, and he's very young."
"Young?"
Mr. Simon's son repeated, "Is he younger than me?"
He laughed and shook his head as he said, "I'm just joking. How old is he? Is he in his thirties or forties?"
In his opinion, a person who could preside over the commercial development of a province on such a scale was at least 30 or 40 years old. Even 30 years old was considered young!
After all, he was only in his early thirties, and he was so successful. He did not dare to say that he could preside over such a big job, so Mr. Lynch must be in his forties.
"Uh …" The lawyer looked at his son's expression and knew that he had misunderstood something, but in order to avoid causing a bigger misunderstanding in the next meeting, he had to explain, "Mr. Lynch has just celebrated his 22nd birthday here!"
The room was quiet for a moment, and then Mr. Simon's wife was shocked. She asked in an incredulous tone, "How much money does he have? Ten million Fra?"
The lawyer laughed a few times. These people were really … He had misjudged the level of the employer this time, but for the sake of the commission, he still tried his best to answer the employer's doubts. "It's hard to count, at least in the tens of millions. Monopolizing the commercial development and business practices of a province, his assets will rapidly expand to dozens or even hundreds of times their current size in the next ten years."
The lawyer was actually very emotional. In the past, Nagalil was just like that. If they monopolized, then so be it. Just look at his work this time.
Mr. Simon monopolized about 10% of the trade in Mengwu Province, and after so many years, he had only accumulated less than two million Fra. But this time, it was different.
The entire Federation was helping Nagalil develop its economy and industry like crazy. From their crazy recruitment of workers, it could be seen that the country's lower class was rapidly becoming rich.
The first thing that came with the wealth of the lower class was the stimulation of market demand. When people had money, they would improve their lives. Whether it was eating a good meal in a restaurant or buying some furniture, there was no doubt that the Federation's businessmen would make more money than Mr. Simon's in the future.
"He must have a good father. He is luckier than me in this regard."
Mr. Simon's son, who was still unwilling to admit defeat, seemed to be refuting, but also seemed to be defending himself. He did not admit that anyone could be better than him.
Although almost half of the money that Mr. Simon sent back over the years was used by him to cover the company's losses.
But he still believed that he was the best. He was able to open his own company in his twenties and run it independently until now.
Lynch's excellence must be due to his family and his father's relationship. For example, his father was the CEO of a large conglomerate or something like that.
This also made Mr. Simon's son very envious. If he also had a rich father, he would not have to run to this damn poor place at this damn time and be chased out by a damn aboriginal!
But he did not know that the CEO of a large conglomerate in his imagination was now eating dust in a cement factory not far away.
The lawyer frowned. Although he did not have much to do with Lynch, he knew that businessmen of this level had enough ability to carry out cross-border attacks on other companies.
They only needed to support some powerful opponents for those who offended them, and by doing so, they might even be able to make money. Even lawyers didn't want to meet a luxurious legal team every time they appeared in court for a case they represented.
In order to prevent the stupid mother and son from messing up the next thing, his tone became sterner. "Mr. Lynch was born in an ordinary family. You can say that he is at the bottom of society. His achievements are all due to his hard work. If you want to leave here alive with your father's inheritance, then you'd better remind yourself to show your respect to Mr. Lynch at all times!"
Finally, his tone became more serious. "I'm not joking with you!"
The people and things that the lawyer came into contact with every day were much more than the mother and son who seemed to have a wide social circle but actually had a narrow one. He knew very well that the joint development company of this period, or other similar companies, were very dangerous.
Let's not talk about the distant places. In Najalil, countless people would dare to kill for a hundred dollars. Money was the last thing these rich people lacked. As long as they wanted to, the people who wanted to kill them could line up from the hotel entrance to the dock. They would not even have a chance to escape.
After the warning, the lawyer adjusted his tie and softened his tone. "I'm just saying this because I don't want you to interfere with our next actions because of some unnecessary trouble. Think about the money that Mr. Simon left for you. You should know what to do."
"Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, I'll find a way to take you to meet Mr. Lynch."
"Also, don't leave the hotel. It's very dangerous here for you."
After that, the lawyer took his documents and left the room. He still had to contact some of the local people that he could pull some strings with. The profession of a lawyer still had some value and function in a civilized society. He might be able to find some new guarantees for the commission this time.
When he left the hotel entrance on the first floor, a guy who reeked of alcohol happened to walk toward him. In order to avoid this kind of drunkard, the lawyer deliberately stepped aside and glanced at the other party.
In this period of time, there were not many people who could drink until they reeked of alcohol. The foreigners in the lawyer's words were all trying to pull strings to find ways to make money. The locals did not have the money, so they drank until they were dead drunk.
Coincidentally, the drunkard was also looking at him. Their eyes met in the air. The lawyer was stunned for a moment. He squeezed out a smile and nodded as a greeting.
He quickly looked away. He noticed something very scary in the eyes of the local. He was very familiar with it, but he could not figure out what it was.
The drunkard was also a little surprised, but he quickly looked away.
Walking out of the hotel, he got into the car. When the car had already started and left the hotel, the lawyer woke up with a start!
That was the gaze of a murderer. He had defended many murderers before, and the drunkard's gaze was almost exactly the same as those murderers'.
There was a kind of arrogance in the coldness that could dictate the lives of others. There was also a trace of uncontrollable impulse that could make one's scalp go numb.
Will they be fine?
He thought about it. They should be fine. He had already warned the mother and son. Furthermore, they were in a hotel, and the hotel was very safe!
Any hotel that could handle foreign guests would have its own unique security features. Some of the foreign hotels even had a certain amount of foreign power and armed forces. If the drunkard was really heading toward the mother and son, unless he searched the rooms one by one, he would not be able to find him.
Then again, if he really searched the rooms one by one, the hotel guards would probably shoot him dead on the spot.
The lawyer was more inclined to believe that the local murderer was hiding in the hotel. He might have some special identity. After killing someone outside, he was now hiding in the hotel to hide from the police. That was more likely.
However, he had overestimated his influence on the mother and son and underestimated how fearless some people were.
