Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor
Chapter 236 The Sorrow of the Times
In the dock, Wendell laughed: "Fraud? You, haha, you really know how to joke. What does this have to do with fraud?"
Hobert asked the gallery: "Everyone, after you provide services to the guests, is it common sense that the guests pay?"
Regardless of whether they understood Hobert's intention or not, everyone answered together: "Yes!"
Hobert picked up his folder: "I have here a proof of the defendant's income, which is enough to show that the defendant has the financial strength to pay for the services provided by Ms. Emma.
"But the other party did not pay. This violates the basic common sense and complies with the legal definition of fraud!"
Wendell smiled and said: "What can we do? You still can't change the fact that prostitution is illegal income."
"Don't think you are qualified to play with the law. My team will sue you for a while and bankrupt you!" Hobert said coldly: "Relevant laws stipulate that there is no requirement for the source of income for economic losses caused by fraud. !”
Someone already understood what Hobert meant.
Amid applause from the gallery, Hobert continued to shout: "So, Mr. Wendell, I accuse you of defrauding my client, and you must compensate her for all losses, including my commission fee!"
The applause from the auditorium is getting louder and louder, and some people are even cheering!
Wendell's face was filled with despair. He now regretted not hiring a lawyer because he had no way of judging the authenticity of Hobert's words.
After finally restoring order in the court, the judge almost immediately pronounced the verdict: "The defendant was found guilty of fraud. He should compensate the plaintiff for all economic losses, lost work fees, attorney fees, etc., totaling 12 pounds, and impose a fine of 5 pounds! He was sentenced to 6 months. Imprisonment.”
Wendell was stunned: "Still sentenced?"
The judge took a look at him. He thought he was proficient in the law before, but now it seems that he is a legal illiterate who just found a loophole in the law and got away with it for so long.
He regretted a little. If he had known that the opponent was at this level, he would have given a harsher sentence.
"I want to appeal!" Wendell said quickly.
Hobert immediately said: "Your honor, I suggest that the other party's financial compensation be enforced first!"
The judge immediately said: "Agree."
Then he said to Wendel: "Defendant, you have the right to appeal, but you must first pay a fine and financial compensation. According to the relevant regulations of the Loen Kingdom, this court has the power to enforce financial punishment against you."
"I-I'll give it to you right now!" Wendell lost his arrogance and immediately went to take out his wallet.
This result once again made the audience cheer.
Hobert stood up and waved to everyone, and everyone immediately stopped cheering.
He smiled and said: "Girls, as long as he comes to your place to spend money without giving you money within three years, or has similar cases, you can come to my team for entrustment!"
Several people actually came around to entrust similar cases. Hobert asked Jessica to make an appointment with the other party to discuss the case. He was prepared to handle all such cases for Jessica.
The financial compensation and fines were settled in court, and Wendel was temporarily detained.
Emma shook hands with Hobert: "Thank you for helping me seek justice. No matter when you come to my place, it will be free!"
Someone in the dock shouted: "Lawyer Hobert, my place is free too!"
"I'm there too!"
Hobert smiled and said: "If it's just to dance and sing, I will go!"
“We have such a service there!”
"Even if it doesn't happen, it will happen in the future!"
On the way out of the courtroom, everyone scrambled to shake Hobert's hand.
Hobert shook hands with everyone and walked out. Suddenly he saw the reporters writing furiously.
Hobert, who has always been very "media aware", realized that he had to say something at this time to sublimate the case.
So he stopped and said to everyone: "Girls, don't care about those worldly opinions. The choices and circumstances you have now are the tragedy of this era! Who doesn't want to rely on labor that is not discriminated against to support themselves? But in this era, there is no such thing. Give you this opportunity!
"Don't underestimate yourself because of the sorrow of this era, girls, raise your noble heads! Your choice is already countless times better than those of robbers, thieves, and villains!"
The atmosphere in the court reached a climax. Some people cheered loudly, and some covered their mouths and cried bitterly. Before this, no one had ever cared about their interests, and no one had ever understood their difficulties. Never before.
But today was different. For the first time, they felt respected and respected as a person.
Although Hobert left, the ladies present were still immersed in the emotions just now and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.
The reporters struggled to squeeze out. What Hobert just said is enough to become tomorrow's headlines.
In the carriage back, Jessica's eyes were filled with light: "Lawyer Hobert, we will definitely become the most dazzling color of this era!"
She was also deeply affected by Hobert's words.
Hobert smiled and said: "We still have a long way to go."
Originally, he wanted to talk to Jessica about asking her friends to help him build weapons, but it was really inappropriate to talk about this in the current atmosphere.
…
Saturday morning, Minsk Street 15.
Klein went out and bought a pie for his breakfast. He was eating breakfast and reading the newspaper as usual. After the meal, he was going to go to the dock union to confirm the information provided by Miss Hugh.
"Eh!" Klein saw the headline of the newspaper, which turned out to be news about Hobert.
This was the second time he saw news about Hobert in the newspaper, and he read every word carefully.
When he saw the description of Emma's case, Klein sighed: "He really dares to take this kind of case!"
Having been in this world for such a long time, Klein certainly knows what the public opinion of this era requires of gentlemen. Hobert's behavior is like a fighter.
He had just offended all the powerful people in Backlund, and now he was speaking out for the girls on the street.
Especially when he saw Hobert's last speech, Klein put down the newspaper and stared at the pie in front of him in a daze. This was the first time he had seen such a speech that was in line with his own values after being in this world for so long.
Looking back on the previous conversations with those gentlemen, there was almost no thought of caring about and respecting the people at the bottom. They either simply did not understand the poverty of the people at the bottom, or they were glad that they had not fallen to that level.
Then Klein thought that he had wanted to bring some changes to this world before, but every time he thought about it, he made excuses for himself: This is an extraordinary world, and ordinary people have no chance of making a comeback.
But as a Loen man, Hobert is fighting for benefits for ordinary people in this world. Isn't this changing the world!
