In the "Nation of Disorder," Hobert retrieved his spirituality: now it depends on whether Rafter is willing to go. As long as he is willing and wholeheartedly loyal to the "Creator," he can provide some assistance in the future.
After admiring the gold pounds and Beyonder characteristics on the stone platform not far away, Hobert left the "Nation of Disorder" and returned to the real world to rest.
On Wednesday morning, Hobert first directed the servants sent by Christian to move, but there was nothing much to move, only some clothes and daily necessities.
In fact, Hobert didn't plan to cancel the lease. Sacrificing to or being granted by his "Nation of Disorder" self still required him to come here, and attending the Tarot Gathering also needed an undisturbed space.
Around ten o'clock, Hobert arrived at the law firm for work, and his assistant Jessica immediately brought him an official letter, which turned out to be an invitation from the parliament.
Hobert opened it and saw that the parliament had recently established a "Labor Compensation Law" group and invited Hobert to join it.
Jessica congratulated Hobert: "This is a good thing! It shows that our work is gaining attention from the Parliament of the Kingdom of Loen."
That was the parliament. In Loen, a constitutional monarchy, the law was theoretically greater than royal power.
And the parliament, which held legislative power, was the well-deserved highest authority.
It's just that no one would really use the law to sanction the direct members of the royal family. The king only lost the legislative power.
The ruling power was still in the hands of the royal family. After all, the prime minister was appointed by the king. Although the prime minister would not consult the king on the daily operations of the country, no law could restrict his power if the king wanted to intervene in something.
Hobert smiled and said, "The upper house of parliament is basically hereditary seats for nobles, and the members of the lower house are mostly big bankers and the wealthiest people in the kingdom.
"They are indeed paying attention to our work, but the focus should not be what you think."
Jessica was stunned: "Aren't they going to protect the rights and interests of workers?"
Hobert asked, "How many workers have our team helped to get work-related injury compensation since its establishment?"
"So far, we have handled 28 cases. Thanks to you for setting a good precedent, it is now becoming increasingly easier to claim work-related injury compensation."
Hobert nodded: "According to the relevant laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Loen, cases without clear and applicable legal provisions in the law should be judged with reference to previous cases.
"Because there are no relevant regulations specifying the specific standards for labor compensation, there was only a conventional standard before Bob's case.
"After Bob's case, judges began to use Bob's case as a reference, so we basically won all 28 cases.
"This trend is unacceptable to the rich, so they might as well legislate as soon as possible to stipulate a standard for work-related injury compensation.
"As long as there are relevant laws and regulations, they will have loopholes to exploit again, and the rich who can afford lawyers will once again take the initiative in the compensation process."
Jessica opened her mouth: "They, they are too evil! They are even more evil than demons!"
Hobert smiled and said, "Demons only appear occasionally, but the demons catalyzed by wealth can openly harm others and become models and examples of the times.
"Although they invited me, it is estimated that they will just put on a show, only let me listen, but will not adopt any of my opinions."
Jessica sat in the chair opposite Hobert, feeling a sense of powerlessness. This was a unique sense of powerlessness in Backlund and this era, and she often felt this way before: "Then, then are you still going?"
"Of course, I have to go." Hobert smiled and said, "We are the last hope of Backlund, how can we not fight for it?
"Let me see, the first meeting starts next Monday. You write to the reporters who interviewed us before and tell them that the issue of labor compensation is about to be legislated. Come with me to the meeting next Monday."
Jessica's eyes lit up: "I understand, I'll go write the letter now."
Hobert smiled slightly and began to deal with his work.
But after a while, Jessica came in again: "Lawyer Hobert, a butler has come to visit. This is the business card of the butler's master."
Jessica handed the business card very solemnly. Hobert took the business card and looked at it. It turned out to be the business card of Tim, the Ambassador of Feynapotter.
"I haven't had any dealings with him before." Hobert's expression was a bit puzzled, but he had already thought of the two groups of stalkers he had driven away before in his heart.
One of the groups was likely sent by Tim. Hobert originally thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect Tim to send a butler again.
"Please, invite him in." Hobert said, since the other party came to visit openly, he was not afraid that they would assassinate him.
The butler was a man in his fifties, dressed very appropriately and rigorously, with his hair combed meticulously: "Lawyer Hobert, hello, my master hopes to invite you to the Feynapotter Embassy. He wants to consult you on some issues."
Hobert stood opposite the butler: "Are you mistaken? I am not good at "International Law", and I don't know much about the laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Feynapotter. Why would the ambassador think of consulting me?"
"Of course, there is no mistake." The butler said with a somewhat rigid smile: "The ambassador indeed invites you to come."
Hobert joked: "Could it be because your country didn't pay the ambassador's salary, and the ambassador asked me to collect it? I am good at this kind of case."
The butler maintained his smile and said nothing, nor did he react to Hobert's joke.
Hobert smiled awkwardly: "Okay, okay, I'll go with you."
As he spoke, he picked up his cane and told Jessica a few words, then left in the embassy's carriage.
Because the other party came to invite him in a proper manner, Hobert was not worried that the Feynapotter ambassador would assassinate him. Even if the other party wanted to attack him in the embassy, he had enough confidence to escape the siege of the military attachés.
Arriving at the Feynapotter Embassy in the West District by carriage, the butler asked Hobert to wait in the reception room.
While the butler went to inform Ambassador Tim, Hobert admired the decorating style of the Kingdom of Feynapotter.
The decorating style of this kingdom still follows the principle of exaggeration and asymmetry. This is a style that was formed in the Solomon era. The main decorating elements are bats, roses, and crows, which look a bit gloomy, which is significantly different from the Loen decorating style that likes Panlian flowers and azaleas.
At this moment, Ambassador Tim, with his toothbrush mustache, pushed the door in. He had a harmonious smile on his face: "Lawyer Hobert, hello, thank you for accepting my invitation."
Hobert took a step forward, about to shake hands with Tim, but suddenly felt a burning sensation from the "Psychological Spoon."
He thought to himself, this ambassador's invitation was indeed not that simple.
