Mystery: Shadow of Order - Chapter 232

Rawls, dressed in a tuxedo suit and a royal blue tie, walked out of the library slowly. Albert Wayne continued to stay in the library to make up for the fun he missed when he was young.

Rawls believed that the moderator of the merger case was Hibbert Hall, but he did not believe that Hibbert wanted to use this to make the Wien family hinder Lincoln College and the Aberdeen In cooperation with Derian.

Even if the Wien family is one of Tingen’s richest people and has a very high influence in the newspaper industry, it is not enough to hinder Lincoln Law School, even if the Earl of Hall or the Duke of Negan want to do it alone It’s not easy at all.

Although he just used a “bribe” when he handed Wayne “Finny Hill”, Rawls deliberately controlled the intensity, which could only make Wayne have a certain favorable impression of him, but could not make him completely trust him Rawls.

After all, Rawls is only a “briber”, not a “psychiatrist”.

This is the code that he summed up in the banquet of the past few days.

Bribery is a profound science, and if you want to successfully bribe, you must consider what the other party needs. Giving the other person what they want will quickly pull into the relationship between the two, but what you send must be controlled. If the other party wants money, you can give it one by one, and you must not give too much at one time, which will increase the other party’s appetite and cause suspicion.

A small number of times is what the “briber” should do. After all, this is not a battle, and gradual corruption is the true meaning.

Moreover, compared with ordinary and rich people like Albert Wayne, Rawls is more willing to cooperate with Extraordinary of the “lawyer” path like Merino, and his “bribery” has a greater impact on the Extraordinary of this path. for far-reaching. However, if there is no cooperation plan and lawyer partner plan that you have made in advance, the effect of “bribery” will be too obvious.

Merino is the “Barbarian” of Sequence 8, and he knows a little about the “Briber” of Sequence 7, which makes him suspect that it will only have a great impact on Rawls’ plan.

Rawls shook his head. No matter whether Hibbert stopped him or not, the cooperation with Lincoln College was what he had to do. The Adrian family had too little background.

When Rawls was about to walk outside the old hall, he found that lawyer Merino, who was supposed to be attending the banquet, was standing at the door. Rawls in the distance. Rawls frowned, a determined look on his face.

“It seems that Wayne’s intimidation didn’t scare you.”

“Intimidation?” Rawls looked at Merino, who didn’t look like an old man at all, the firmness on his face receded, as if he didn’t know what he was talking about.

“Merino rarely appeared in court after he was qualified as a barrister. But I have seen his defense in the moot court, and he was very good at intimidating opponents.” It’s not that I didn’t try to enter Backlund, after all, that is the capital, but the available targets will be suppressed from all sides. We are not the inner temple and the nave. There are very few people in Backlund who can help. They will all be under pressure to back down before the plan starts.”

“It seems that I have withstood the pressure for the time being.” Rawls shrugged, no wonder Merino would tell him that the Wayne family was the first difficulty in cooperation. This was specially arranged by him to judge whether Rawls could withstand the pressure from the Wien family, the New Party, and the Hall family.

“Even if you don’t hold back, our cooperation will continue.”

Merino greeted slightly with the red wine glass in his hand:

“You are right, there is not much time left for the academy. And you and Philip have a good personal relationship, which can help you reduce a lot of stress.”

The Wien family really doesn’t want the New Party’s Backlund Post to acquire the Daily Observer, but the pressure from the Hall family and the New Party is not something they can bear. They know that Rawls has a good relationship with Lord Philip, the only son of Duke Negan, so they want to use the Conservative Party and the Negan family to fight against the New Party and the Hall family. For them, maintaining their independence and gaining both sides between the two forces is the best way to grab benefits.

The Wien family also knows that this acquisition was acquiesced by Duke Negan and the Conservative Party. There is no major change, and Duke Negan will never break his previous promise. But for their own sake, they have to do something, even if it’s purely procrastination. Next year is an election year, and if the merger is delayed until next year, the Wien family can naturally swing between the two parties.

The Wien family knew through their own channels that the relationship between Hibbert Hall, who presided over the merger, and Rolls Adrian was not good, so they sent Albert Wien to turn the merger dispute into a Private disputes, which can have a big impact on mergers and acquisitions.

Attorney Merino had a little more, and Rawls knew the trick. The Wien family wants to use Philip Negan to delay the merger, and Lincoln College also wants to use Philip Negan to resist pressure from all parties.

Therefore, bribing both parties is a “win-win” rather than a unilateral gain. Knowing this, he could feel that his potion had digested a lot. As long as there was another opportunity, he should be able to digest it completely.

“There is still some time, let’s go in. I specially invited several famous painters from Enmat Harbor. I remember that your father likes portraits very much. The first money he made, he hired a student from the Academy of Fine Arts to paint for him. a portrait.”

Merino also worked in Backlund more than 20 years ago. He was born in Lincoln College and was rejected by the other three colleges, but he had a good friendship with Rawls’ father Mason Adrian. Otherwise, Rawls will not be able to graduate quickly.

The portraits of this era are actually the same as the circle of friends of Rawls’s previous life. Mason Adrian is very fond of portraits. In 45 Gaston Street, West End, where Rawls now lives, there are huge one-person portraits of him everywhere on the walls, but they will no longer be there after Rawls’s mother passes away. “After I was born, my father stopped asking people to paint portraits.”

Merino was stunned for a moment, he understood what Rawls meant, and there was a little melancholy on his face:

“Although I haven’t met your mother, I think she should be a very kind person.”

Rawls looked at Merino and asked in disbelief:

“Haven’t you met my mother?” Mason and Merino have a good relationship, otherwise the academy wouldn’t be able to make him “extra merciful” just by virtue of the Adrian firm.

“When I left Backlund, your father hadn’t opened an office yet. Later, I stayed in the academy to teach and rarely went to Backlund.” Merino looked into the distance, “Okay, let’s go in.”

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the inside of the old hall. Rawls looked at his back, shook his head and walked in.

…

Rawls looked at a middle-aged man standing beside Merino. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and his face was thin and pale. He looked less like a painter than a mad scientist. Standing next to him was a young man who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was handsome and wore a blood ruby ​​ring on the tail finger of his right hand.

“This is Stephen Mossos, who is not only a top painter, but also has a good understanding of psychology.”

The Merino red wine glass pointed to the middle-aged man, and then to the young man beside him. Before he could speak, the young man stretched out his palm towards Rawls, with a gentle smile on his handsome face:

“I’m Daniel Elliott, a painting lover who has just started learning painting with Mr. Mossos.”

Rawls also smiled and shook hands with him:

“Hello, Rolls Adrian.”

Stephen Mossos, who wore gold-rimmed glasses, and Rawls touched wine glasses and introduced with a smile:

“Haha, Daniel, Mr. Adrian is not an ordinary barrister. He is the youngest barrister in Ruen, even younger than you!”

Rawls looked at Daniel Elliott, a handsome young man. Daniel looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was even older than him. He took a sip of red wine and said:

“However, Mr. Elliott looks younger than me!”

“Don’t look at Eliot’s youth, his articles are sought after by many people in Port Enmatt. I believe that after studying with Mr. Mossos, he will definitely have a place in the art world.” Merino was the host of the banquet. The host must know the information of each guest.

The middle-aged Stephen Mossos on the side patted Eliot on the shoulder and sighed: “Compared to writers, it is difficult for painters to be famous, and I don’t know if he chose this path. But Enmatt The ladies of Hong Kong really like his articles, and with this premise, at least not like Cox.”

Cox is the old painter who was promoted by Hibbert. He is 73 years old this year and has been rejected by the art world. Until the Backlund Art Museum exhibited his paintings some time ago, he became a well-known painter in the art world.

Elliott lowered his head, sipped the champagne in his glass, and stopped talking. He is three years older than Rawls and has a small reputation in Port Enmat, but as Mossos said, he is sought after because of his handsome face.

As Beyonders of the “lawyer” pathway, Rawls and Merino naturally understood what Mossos meant, but didn’t say much.

…

Looking at Mossos, who was laughing with the guests of the banquet in the distance, he introduced his student Eliot to those people, and satirized Eliot with a gun and a stick in his words. Merino frowned, and a few shallow ravines were squeezed out of his wrinkled face.

“I shouldn’t have invited him, it seems that the rumor is true.”

“What rumors?” Rawls was a little curious. He didn’t know much about the art world. Although he received relevant education, he only had a general understanding of some painting styles. If it was a painter, he didn’t know much.

“Stephen Mossos was a top painter, but by no means a good teacher. He took in several students, but all of them were not successful, some gave up painting completely because of the way he was educated, and some were even sent to a lunatic asylum. .” Merino raised his chin towards the handsome Elliott, “Although Daniel Elliott has won the favor of many ladies by his looks, he has to say that his articles are of a certain level. I know what I thought, and suddenly I started learning painting with Mossos, and I don’t know how long I can last.”

“Insane asylum?” Rawls was a little puzzled. Even if he was beaten like this, he wouldn’t be sent to an insane asylum, would he?

“Well.” Merino leaned closer and lowered his voice, “I heard that some of them committed suicide directly, but after the investigation, there was nothing to say. This may be related to his study of psychology. However, Mossos’ paintings do have his unique style. It affects a lot of people.”

“Oh.” Rawls looked at Stephen Mossos in the distance, and with his introduction, the handsome Elliot’s head lowered. If it wasn’t Lincoln College, the guests here were big people he couldn’t afford to offend, and he would definitely want to leave.

…

Backlund, Chorwood District, 15 Minsk Street.

Klein held a silver-white revolver with a long barrel and aimed at the boy who just came in through the window. The boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing an old coat and a round hat that did not match his age, and his rare red eyes were full of horror.

Klein is no stranger to this boy. The revolver in his hand was bought from this boy’s channel~www.mtlnovel.com~ The boy’s name is Ian Wright, and he lives at 58 Minsk Street. The head of the child, good at inquiring about news, and occasionally selling guns.

“Ian Wright, I don’t remember the day when you introduced yourself and said that you were good at stealing. I think I’ll ask Sheriff Fasin to come over.” Sheriff Fashin is a senior sheriff in charge of Minsk Street. , often patrolling the streets.

Ian, who was still a little scared, suddenly had courage. He stood up straight against the window, his lips trembled and said:

“I’m sorry, Mr. Detective, there’s nothing I can do. I’ve caused a lot of trouble and I have to come to you for help. Don’t worry, it’s not dangerous for you, just send me a letter. It’ll be delivered to you. The place to buy a revolver, the Brave Bar on Iron Gate Street in the Bridge District.”

Klein looked at Ian across from him and put down the revolver in his hand. The boy he had done divination was not a Beyonder. Even if he doesn’t need a revolver, he can be subdued with the skills of the “clown”.

He walked to the coat rack aside, pulled out a quarterpenny from his trench coat pocket, muttered the words “Ian Wright will bring me danger”, popped the copper coin up, and watched It fell into the palm of the hand, with the head up.

The answer is yes, Ian will be dangerous.

However, Klein didn’t drive Ian out immediately. He motioned Ian to walk to the corner of the wall, walk to the window, open a gap, and quickly glanced outside, but found nothing unusual.

As a Diviner, Klein knew that this simple divination could not explain anything. For example, Ian gets into a gang of ordinary people, which will also bring him danger, but this danger can be solved.
