Outside the New York First Precinct.
Looking at Ms. Simpson and Foggy, Luca politely shook hands with each of them to express his gratitude.
"This time, I owe a lot to Ms. Simpson. You truly live up to my mother's praise as a great lawyer. You've really opened my eyes."
"Mr. Orange, you overpraise me. It's my honor to serve you."
Ms. Simpson, who had heard too many compliments and thanks, simply nodded reservedly, her professional smile unwavering, and continued, "I've heard about your father's passing. I'm sorry I couldn't attend the funeral. Ms. Gina and I are friends. If you have any legal needs in the future, you can contact me at any time."
Well, how should I put it?
Ms. Simpson's words were genuinely heartfelt.
Mainly, although Luca's current inheritance situation isn't complicated or controversial due to a clear will, the Orange Family family's asset volume is substantial, and the legal fees for inheritance are equally significant. Even for a large law firm like Rand Law Firm, it's still a big order.
Moreover, a simple case means easy work.
At such a time, Ms. Simpson certainly didn't mind extending more favors to Luca to secure this business.
Luca, who clearly understood what the other party was thinking, didn't explicitly state anything immediately. He just smiled and politely complimented her.
"Then I thank Ms. Simpson. With your help, I think I can rest assured about legal matters in the future."
After speaking, Luca turned to look at Foggy, who had been silently following Ms. Simpson since her appearance, lowering his presence and choosing to be invisible.
By this time, Luca had already recalled the other party's identity.
Foggy Nelson is the childhood friend, close friend, and law firm partner of Matt Murdock, the street hero protagonist in the U.S. drama "Daredevil."
He himself is also an excellent lawyer with outstanding abilities, combining flexibility in action with a sense of justice.
However, because the other party's appearance was quite different from that in the show, Luca didn't recognize him immediately.
It was only after Director George Stacy, the famous father of Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy, appeared that Luca's thoughts branched out, and he recalled that the other party was also a plot character.
Yes, Director George is also a 'plot supporting character,' and his fame is much greater than Foggy's.
It can only be said that today was indeed too coincidental.
"Mr. Foggy is currently just an intern at Rand Law Firm, right? Are you interested in becoming my private lawyer in the future?"
At these words, the other three people present were all slightly stunned, not knowing why Luca suddenly had such an idea.
Ms. Simpson was the first to react, then she laughed and teased,
"My boss is still here, Mr. Luca. Are you trying to poach someone right in front of me?"
Luca nodded lightly, showing no embarrassment on his face, and continued, relying on his youth, "I just really value Mr. Foggy's future potential. If possible, I don't think Ms. Simpson would be reluctant to part with an intern lawyer, would she?"
For a large law firm like Rand Law Firm, there's a significant difference between intern lawyers and assistant lawyers.
Although both are low-level general staff at the law firm, intern lawyers are generally law students who haven't yet graduated from various prestigious universities, so their relationship with the law firm isn't particularly close.
If such an intern lawyer has the opportunity to become a private lawyer for a wealthy individual, it would certainly be much better than struggling within a law firm after graduation.
Moreover, a private lawyer can also be affiliated with a law firm, which wouldn't cause any rifts in the cooperation between Orange Industries and Rand Law Firm.
However, upon hearing a 14-year-old boy, much younger than himself, praise him for his 'future potential,' Foggy's face still couldn't quite hold its composure.
"Uh, thank you for your regard, Mr. Orange, but I'm currently still in the stage of learning and improvement, so I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Upon hearing this, Luca simply nodded faintly and said nothing more.
This left Foggy himself feeling a bit bewildered.
In fact, Luca's decision to proactively invite him, in addition to the goodwill brought by the other party's plot character identity, was also because he understood the other party's abilities and personality.
At least in terms of character, Foggy, this 'hero partner,' is completely trustworthy.
However, having a strong sense of justice also means that such a person cannot tolerate injustice.
Luca clearly knew that with his personality, since he had come to this 'free' society and had a good start, he would definitely enjoy the conveniences brought by capital in the future.
He wouldn't be a black-hearted capitalist, but at least it was unlikely he would become a truly good person overflowing with a sense of justice.
So he didn't feel too much regret about the refusal from such a righteous person.
After seeing the two off, Luca pondered silently, looking at Foggy's retreating figure.
'Currently, Foggy is just an intern lawyer about to graduate, so it's estimated that Lawyer Matt probably hasn't officially debuted as Daredevil yet.'
'I wonder how many other street heroes are still in a dormant phase? And does this parallel Universe exist?'
If given the chance, Luca would be quite interested in trying to recruit a few street heroes with a less intense sense of justice to work for him.
Unlike those Avengers heroes, whose backgrounds are increasingly profound.
At least in Luca's impression, individuals like 'The Punisher' Frank Castle and Jessica Jones, not only have decent abilities, but before becoming street heroes, they weren't entirely pure, righteous individuals who couldn't tolerate injustice.
Such original characters, whose backgrounds are well-known, are much more cost-effective to recruit than ordinary people, both in terms of ability and trustworthiness.
'It seems I'll have to specifically send someone to investigate the current status of these guys from my memory later.'
Just as Luca was thinking this, Director George Stacy quickly walked out of the Police station.
Seeing that Luca and Samira were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his collar, and walked over.
"Mr. Orange, this is the attachment to your police report."
Saying this, Director George Stacy handed over a document to Luca.
Samira stepped forward and took the document for Luca.
Luca himself looked at Director George Stacy with confusion.
Such a document could have been mailed to him later without any problem, and even if it had to be delivered in person, it seemed unusual for the Director himself to rush out like this.
"Does Director George have anything else he needs me for?"
Director George Stacy looked steadily at Luca's face, then spoke again.
"Can I speak with you alone?"
