Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Chapter 40 Forsi’s conjecture

Hobert's intimidation is perfect for dealing with villains like Darkholm.

Darkholm would not take ordinary threats to heart. When he saw Zachary and his letter, most of his psychological defenses had collapsed.

Moreover, he vaguely knew the existence of the extraordinary world through the intelligence he collected. After hearing what Hobert said, and then looking at the potions that Hobert took out, although he didn't know what they were, but for ordinary people, spirituality, and also felt that the contents of these small bottles seemed not simple.

So Darkholm's remaining psychological defense collapsed: "I, that's all I know, I also know, I also know that Mr. Hyman seems to have many magical abilities!

"He, he inadvertently revealed that he seemed to have some dealings with a farmer named Hillman in the southern suburbs!

“He also said that he found a clue to a treasure at 37 Minsk Street!

"That's all, really that's all!"

Hobert nodded with satisfaction: "Is this right?"

He put away the potion and powder: "If someone claims to be Heyman's companion and contacts you, just say that we have tortured you many times, and your leg injury is the evidence.

"You don't need to send us a letter. When we come to the Dujuan Bar, you just need to say, 'The goods you ordered before have arrived.' We will know."

Hobert and Hugh stood up together, and Duckholm quickly asked: "What then?"

Then I didn’t think about it! Hobert said, "That's not what you should ask."

He seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, where did you learn to read, write and grammar?"

“I went to grammar school when I was a child.” Duckholm said with a wry smile: “Later, my father failed in business and we had to move to the East End.

"Sir, to tell you the truth, I have always dreamed of returning to Daqiao South District, my former home.

"But when I went back and took a look, other families already lived there, and it was no longer the home I remembered."

Another "business failure", it is too easy for small businessmen to go bankrupt these days.

Hobert looked at the decoration of the house. No wonder Duckholm's residence was so out of place in the East End. Then he lamented Heyman's meticulous layout. Former middle-class people like Duckholm would be more eager to live or return to a middle-class life than the people in the East End.

Only strong desire can be better manipulated and used by Heyman.

Hobert took a deep breath, and while walking out, he mentioned what he once said to Will: "If you do less things that destroy your conscience, you may be able to live a few more years."

"Sir, thank you for the reminder."

Accompanied by Duckholm's thanks, Hobert and Hugh came into the street.

Xio discussed with Hobert in a low voice: "I remember you said yesterday that during the process of channeling Zachary, Hyman mentioned Bishop Hillman. Could he be...?"

Hobert whispered: "It is unlikely that Heyman accidentally disclosed such important information. He should have his purpose in doing so. We should not be used by him!

"In addition, Hillman is very likely to be related to the Aurora Society. For your and my safety, we will investigate this case here!"

Xio thought so too. She breathed a long sigh of relief: "This is the most tortuous and dangerous commission I have ever experienced."

If she hadn't cooperated with Hobert, she might still be wandering around Darkholm, unable to find Hyman or Zachary at all.

Hobert smiled and said: "But the reward is also considerable."

Although commissions about the extraordinary world are quick to make money, they are also very dangerous. It is better to deal with less such commissions for the time being.

Hobert asked again: "Are you going to attend Mr. A's party today?"

"Yes, yesterday I and I...yesterday I thought about it for a long time. Although Mr. A is dangerous, this party should be safe." Xiu said, "So we plan to still attend this party."

Hobert continued: "Can you take me with you?"

Xio was slightly startled: "You, don't you have a reliable party?"

Hobert smiled and said: "Of course, the more you attend such gatherings, the better."

Xio nodded: "Okay, after we have lunch, we will 'meet' with my friends."

Of course she knew in her heart that in this cooperation, Hobert's contribution was greater than hers, and it would not be fair to Hobert if the spoils were shared equally.

Bringing Hobert to Mr. A's party was tantamount to returning the favor.

The tense atmosphere was no longer as tense as yesterday. Hobert and Xio chatted casually, but they were tacitly aware of each other and carefully refrained from revealing their specific information.

The two of them were chatting happily, but Forsi, who was following behind, had the urge to bite his nails.

She had to follow closely and be prepared for Hobert's sudden attack.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen, and Hobert didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

But this is strange, why is he not malicious?

Forsi, who was watching the two people chatting, realized something. It couldn't be, it couldn't be that this kid fell in love with Xiu!

Although Xio is not tall, her face is very beautiful, and she has a rare childishness, which suits the needs of some perverted nobles.

No, no, if you have the chance, you must remind Xio and tell her not to be fooled. A young man like Hobert likes to deceive the feelings of ignorant girls.

When Hobert wasn't paying attention, Xio left a message to his friend, explaining that Hobert would also attend the afternoon party.

Forsi covered his forehead, it was over, Xio might have fallen.

However, she still carried the small box to meet Xio at Viscount Gralint's mansion as she had agreed.

1,600 pounds. This was the largest fortune she and Xio had ever seen. Of course, it couldn't leave her sight.

Two taxis stopped at the door of the Viscount's Mansion in almost no particular order. The short Xio introduced between the two of them: "This is my good friend Forsi. Forsi, this is what I mentioned to you. Hobert.”

Forsi said coldly: "Mr. Hobert, nice to meet you."

Hobert was slightly startled: "Miss Fors, looking at you, it seems that knowing me is not something that makes you happy."

Is this Miss "Magician"? She was about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a long skirt with a stand-up collar. Her brown curly hair was messily draped over her shoulders, and her light blue eyes were full of tiredness.

Hobert said pointedly: "Miss Fors, your condition doesn't look very good."

Forsi said impatiently: "It's not because..."

She took a deep breath and said coldly: "Sorry, I want to talk to Xio alone."

Without waiting for Hobert to answer, she pulled Xio away.

Hobert became more and more confused, watching the two ladies whispering something not far away, and looking at him from time to time.

"They must be talking bad about me." Hobert muttered quietly.

At this moment, Xio said loudly: "Oh, Forsi, is there a curly-haired baboon living in your mind?"
