I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 29 What's scary is a rogue with culture (Please read on, please vote!)
"I'll have someone chop him up!"

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" Logan and Richard, who had been released on bail, held back the furious Donald.

Richard is facing one criminal charge, and Logan is facing two. If the charges are upheld, they will definitely be sent to Longchang to seek enlightenment.

Donald, who was in high spirits recently, could hardly tolerate the persecution of the O'Connor family. If he didn't need to find someone to bail out Logan and Richard first, he would have already taken his men to teach that pastor a lesson.

Richard had already cursed Edward's ancestors to the eighteenth generation in his mind, but he knew that he couldn't act impulsively now. "These are the rules of the civilized world; they can't be solved by fighting and killing."

Logan was the calmest of the three, and he also disagreed with Donald's reckless actions.

“If you kill him, we might face another charge.”

Donald was furious, but had nowhere to vent his anger. "So what do we do now?"

Logan narrowed his eyes. "We're going to have a fair and square lawsuit."

The words “堂堂正正” were emphasized.

If Logan hadn't realized that he had unknowingly become a "pig on the wind" driving social change in America, he might have come up with some crooked ideas.

Now, good pigs are carried by the wind, and traitors are supported by other traitors!
Donald didn't understand, but he knew that without money, one couldn't afford to litigate.

Lawyers are indispensable in litigation, and their fees are always as high as possible.

When it came to money, he seemed to have found a way to vent his anger. "Fine, since we're going to sue, I'll pay the lawyer's fees. Let's fight them to the death!"

The Irish gang has now essentially taken over the underground bars in Chicago's North Side, and their pockets are bulging; they can easily afford any amount of legal fees.

Logan and Richard exchanged a glance and both shrugged.

If throwing money at him can deter Donald's impulsiveness, then let him be.

To win a major lawsuit, you first need to find some top-notch lawyers.
Richard knew about this, "I brought in all the top lawyers in Chicago."

……

Robert Guinness, dressed in a dark suit, stepped into the conference room of The Sun newspaper office.

As soon as I stepped into the conference room, I paused in my tracks upon seeing my colleagues, all dressed in suits, sitting inside.

"Bruce, Leonard, Michael... Hmm, all the big names from major Chicago law firms, and they've all been brought in? That's quite a spending spree!"

Robert Guinness was both somewhat dissatisfied and quite excited.

This is a lineup that's going to be involved in a major lawsuit!
He already knew what lawsuit he was facing—the owner of The Sun was being sued by the church!
Robert Guinness gave a subtle smile.

He was also a reader of The Sun and knew all too well where this lawsuit came from.

It's not surprising that The Sun was sued; what's surprising is that it's only now being sued.

But regardless, given the nature of The Sun, this lawsuit won't be easy to win.

However, you can only make big money if you fight hard!

Robert Guinness is already envisioning moving into a new lakeside mansion after the lawsuit is over.

As for whether The Sun has the money to fight the lawsuit? What a joke! He's well aware of the close ties between The Sun's management and the Irish gang in Chicago.

And the Irish gangs, everyone in Chicago knows how well they're doing these days, making a living by bootlegging.

Robert Guinness, as the named partner of the Chicago law firm Guinness, has a bigger goal of becoming a long-term partner lawyer for the Irish gang.

What? You're saying the Irish gang is a criminal organization? How can a lawyer be their partner?

We're all adults, so don't say such naive things. He loves helping rich, unsophisticated gangsters with their lawsuits. What do they know about the law? Aren't they just sitting there being manipulated by lawyers?

Well, I wonder how many of my colleagues in the meeting room are also aiming for this goal.

Robert Guinness greeted his colleagues with a knowing smile.

However, when Logan gathered them together to announce his demands, Robert Guinness was completely stunned.

Listen to the ridiculous demands he made.

"Gentlemen, our small, helpless newspaper has been oppressed by the behemoth that is the Church. I need you to demonstrate the fearless spirit of fighting against overwhelming odds and win this case!"

"Yes, that's the tone of this lawsuit: the underdog triumphs over the strong. This is the kind of story that the public loves, and it's also easy for it to turn into a celebrity lawsuit."

"As lawyers who win cases against celebrities, you must receive extraordinary attention; this will be your honor..."

and many more!

Are you weak and helpless?
Well, that doesn't matter.

You're right. Winning a high-profile celebrity lawsuit against a much smaller one is an honor for lawyers, but the prerequisite is winning!

Don't you have any self-awareness about whether your newspaper, The Sun, is legitimate or not?
Robert Guinness shook his head inwardly, then raised his hand and said, "Mr. Logan, there are no cases in this world that are guaranteed to be won..."

Logan glanced at him and said casually, "You are both highly skilled lawyers, and I believe you can uphold justice."

Robert Guinness smiled, but something seemed off.

Unable to pinpoint what was wrong, he added, "Public opinion is very important in these kinds of cases, but we are just lawyers and can't influence public opinion."

Logan sighed and gave him a look that said, "You lawyers are really useless." "Fine, I won't bother you with the media stuff."

"Then I demand that, whether you apply for a judicial suspension order or use any other means, the Sun must continue to sell during the litigation process, and Victoria's Secret lingerie should not be banned from sale."

Robert Guinness felt his lakeside villa was about to collapse, and swallowed hard. "This isn't an easy thing..."

Logan immediately revealed the ruthless face of a client treating someone like a tool: "If it's not difficult, why would we pay you so much money?"

"Just tell me if you can do it or not?"

Robert Guinness and his colleagues exchanged wry smiles.

Can you really say you can't do it? The likely response would be, "If you can't do it, there are plenty of others who can!"
The key point is, this is actually true.

They are top lawyers in Chicago, but not the best in the country. Given the price the other party is willing to pay, if they don't take the job, there are definitely other lawyers who will!
"Furthermore, you need to find a way to link cases in state courts and federal courts..."

Robert Guinness already sensed that things were not so simple.

Logan's demands clearly reveal that he has a complete set of playing styles!

Their lawyers are just tools.

Moreover, they cannot say that the other party's demands are completely unreasonable—they contain some less-than-honorable evil intentions.

At that moment, Robert Guinness seemed to feel the hierarchy of contempt being shaken.

He no longer harbored the idea of ​​easily earning enough to buy a luxury villa.

Damn it, I always said I'm most afraid of educated thugs!
