Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 192 Kelly and Jessica's Return Gift

Throughout the afternoon, Hobert, who was in a beautiful mood, was very enthusiastic about his work and accepted interviews from a magazine and a newspaper.

During the interview, he uttered golden sentences frequently, which often attracted reporters to take shorthand notes. The reporters were very satisfied with this interview.

In addition, Hobert also did research on the case he just took over and formulated a corresponding defense plan.

In addition, he also started to deal with the second batch of letters received, and his work efficiency was surprisingly high.

When it was time to get off work, Hobert stretched happily, picked up his cane and briefcase and got off work.

Back at the rental house, Hobert only saw Forsi.

After questioning, I found out that Xio had received the contact signal from the masked man and went to meet at the appointed contact place.

Hobert nodded, trying to think back, how could he remember that it would take a long time for Hugh to receive the entrustment from the masked man?
……

The thick fog in Backlund blocked the sun in the sky early, and this not very spacious street immediately became dark.

Xio came only ten seconds earlier than the agreed time, and the masked man hadn't arrived yet. She folded her arms and watched her surroundings vigilantly.

After more than a minute, the masked man appeared.

Hugh said, "You are late!"

"No, I came earlier than you." The masked man said, "You seem to be a 'sheriff' already."

Xio understood what the other party meant. The reason why the other party arrived early was to use this opportunity to observe himself.

"Yes." Xio admitted generously.

"I'm curious, what is the relationship between you and the eldest son of General Christine?"

"Is this question related to the task you want to give me?"

"It doesn't matter." The masked man said in a gentle tone: "You may not know that three months ago, the eldest son of General Christine was very ordinary. He seems to have been very active in the past three months, as if he has suddenly changed into a different person." .”

Xio asked again: "Is this related to the task you want to give me?"

"It still doesn't matter." The masked man said: "Okay, let me tell you about the task I will give you today: Track Rafter Ponte, here is the information about him."

Xio took over the profile of the masked man, but didn't look through it immediately: "How long do you want to follow? How dangerous is it?"

"Take a two-week follow-up for the time being, and the reward will be 20 pounds!" The masked man said: "It may not be dangerous, but the degree of danger may also be very high.

"But you are only responsible for tracking. Once you find danger, you can end the mission immediately, and then use the emergency contact method to contact me."

Xio nodded: "Okay, I will accept this task."

The masked man took out 10 pounds in cash: "This is a deposit. When you report the tracking results two weeks later, another 10 pounds will be given to you. If any abnormalities are found during the mission, the reward will be paid after the mission is over. Oh, yes, It is best to form a written report on the tracking results."

……

Hobert was sitting on the sofa, reading the "Becklund Evening News" he had just bought, and found the chaos at the Russell Memorial Exhibition this afternoon on the second page:

"...Regarding the chaos at the Emperor Roselle Memorial Exhibition, the staff said it was a farce caused by a baron who did not buy a VIP ticket. It is reported that the exhibition area was not greatly affected and order was quickly restored. , restart.

"Some viewers claimed that they once saw an old man flying over their heads, and some people seemed to see the outlines of two gates in mid-air. It really was Roselle who was full of mystery, and his commemorative exhibition was also full of mystery. ..."

Reports on the incident are brief because it happened so recently.

Hobart smiled unconsciously. It seems that the Church of Steam and Machinery intends to deal with this matter lightly, and did not even intend to disclose the news that the "Creative Manuscript" was robbed.

Holding the newspaper upright, Hobert considered that in order to show his magnanimity, and what he said in front of Ikanser before that he was very interested in Emperor Roselle, Hobert planned to go to the exhibition in the next few days to visit.

Fors had already prepared dinner, but Xio still hadn't come back, so she could only read magazines and wait.

It wasn't until around 07:30 that Xio came back with a file bag: "Thank God, there is such a delicious dinner waiting for me, my stomach is almost empty."

She put down the file bag, and while helping Forsi serve the food, she said, "You don't have to wait for me."

Hobert put down the newspaper: "If we wait until eight o'clock and you haven't come back, we'll eat first."

The three of them were all hungry, so they quickly settled the dinner in front of them, and then sat around the dining table, chatting while drinking tea.

Xio talked about the mission she had just received. She had recently been monitoring a baron named Rafter, and she might seldom come back for dinner.

Through Hugh's description, Hobert knew that Rafter had been released.

The consequences were better than what Hobert had imagined. Originally, he thought that Rafter would not be able to withstand the "interrogation" and go crazy.

It is believed that the Church of Steam and Machinery will also send people to monitor Rafter. To Hobert, this baron has no value. To be on the safe side, he does not intend to observe him through the stars in the future.

The next morning, Jessica went to work normally, and Hobert held a small meeting to remind them of the precautions of the cases in hand.

After the meeting, not long after Hobert returned to the office, Jessica knocked on the door and came in: "Lawyer Hobert, thank you again for the VIP tickets you gave us, and my friend has prepared a return gift for you."

As she spoke, she opened a small box, and inside was a keychain with a golden badge on which was drawn a symbol representing "Eternal Blazing Sun": "This is a little thing my friend made himself. , is not a respect."

Hobert did not refuse: "Thank you friend for me."

Holding the keychain in my hand, I immediately felt the warmth of that badge.

Hobert immediately judged that when this keychain was made, a small amount of Extraordinary materials of the Sun Pathway were added, so that this keychain possessed some Extraordinary characteristics of the Pathway.

Although they don't have the ability to take the initiative, some undead creatures will avoid it from a distance after sensing the presence of the keychain.

Made it myself...

Hobert thought of the lady Ke met at the "Eye of Wisdom" party who was looking for the "Barbarian" potion and was in contact with a wild artisan.Wouldn't that be the combination of Jessica and Kelly?

Hobert didn't say anything, and had a chat with Jessica. During the chat, Hobert learned from Jessica that George III also arrived at the scene yesterday!

Hobert immediately realized that George III was attracted by himself or the "Nation of Disorder", and it was precisely because he thought that George III knew about this incident that he had people start monitoring Rafter again.

It is estimated that the masked man is just one of the forces monitoring Rafter.

Thinking of this, Hobart mourned for Rafter for three seconds, no, one second, and finally deceived the watchers by pretending to be crazy, but he did not expect to be watched again.

But this surveillance shouldn't last long, because the process of Rafter being treated as a chess piece is too obvious.

Then Hobert thought that the use of the power of the "Nation of Disorder" in Backlund must be restrained in the future. Although George III's process of becoming a god was a bit hasty, the state must be very bad. He remembered that he seemed to have taken advantage of a certain loophole. Jumped directly from Sequence 5 to Sequence 1.

But with Adam's blessing, George III's current state should be very delicate, and he may be more easily attracted by the power of the "Nation of Disorder" than the "King of Angels".

After talking for a while, Jessica left.

Looking at the keychain in his hand, Hobert put it in his briefcase without thinking too much. Although the two female Extraordinary people showed enough friendliness, they were not very familiar with each other.

After a full day of work, Hobert came out of the office with a briefcase in his hand. He was thinking about what to have for dinner this evening, when he saw a carriage with the "Sacred Emblem of the Night" blocking the door.

Luo Luota opened the car door and said with a smile, "Start work!"
