Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 52 Wealthy Hobart
The "black cherry" that seemed to be beating in Calvin's hand was the hope of the Balk family.

With it, the Balk family will have one less lunatic in the future.

There is a sealed item in the family that separates the Extraordinary characteristics, which is also the key to the continuation of the family. As long as the Extraordinary characteristics are recovered, the Extraordinary characteristics will be separated again and used by future generations.

Generally speaking, the Beyonder traits are given priority to immediate family members. For example, Elliott's Beyonder traits came from his father who passed away when he was seven years old.

Elliott's father was at Sequence 7 when he died, so Elliott could only get potions from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 for free, and if he wanted to be promoted, he had to find his own way.

Or wait for the Extraordinary characteristics that no descendants will inherit, but Elliott has no hope for this, because the chances of this are too slim.

Elliott had already finished playing the barbarian and digesting the potion.

With Calvin's help, he immediately took the "bribery" potion.

Hobert's ordering of Elliott still had a good effect before, and Elliott did not have too serious adverse reactions after taking the potion.

Elliot praised the "creator" in his heart, and in the next six months, he no longer had to worry about crazy raving and losing control.

After consulting Calvin and others on how to play "the briber", Elliott said goodbye and left.

Looking at Elliott's leaving figure, Calvin was a little lost. He felt that Elliott seemed to be going too well recently.

When Calvin lost his mind, it was the turn of Harvey Hayden, who had returned from completing the mission with Elliott, to report on the progress of the mission routinely.

However, when he saw Elliott walking away, he immediately reported: "Elder Calvin, I have something important to report. On the night Elliott got the 'barbarian' extraordinary characteristic, his behavior was a little abnormal."

Calvin immediately paid attention: "Tell me in detail!"

……

On Saturday morning, Hobert went to the club to trade jewels and gold recovered from Hyman's hideout.

After the other party inspected the goods, the price given was 1300 pounds.And the other party tried hard to persuade Hobert to accept the offer of 1300 pounds, but he found the wrong opponent. After a period of friendly negotiations, the price was finally settled at 1380 pounds.

The price of 1500 pounds quoted by Hobert is indeed a false report, and the ideal price is between 1350 pounds and 1400 pounds.

If it hadn't been for the other party's brazen reasoning with Hobert like a fighting cock, so that Hobert could no longer restrain the idea of ​​arguing with others, maybe 1350 pounds would have been sold.

In addition to this batch of jewelry and gold, more than 600 pounds of cash were also seized at that time, and Hobert and Hugh were each divided into 316 pounds.

Including the just-concluded transaction, Hobert has a total of 1696 pounds of stolen money.

Hobert originally wanted to take the extra 96 ​​pounds as his own commission, and give all the remaining money to Mr. Robin and his cousin.

However, his experience in the previous life told him that doing so was inappropriate and would make his own labor and effort very cheap. He might win temporary gratitude from Mr. Robin, but he would not get the respect of others.

So Hobert first put 96 pounds of cash into his wallet, then divided the 1600 pounds of cash into two, waited in front of Mr. Robin, and then counted out his own commission, which was regarded as a gift to Mr. Robin. lesson.

That afternoon, Mr. Robin and his cousin arrived as scheduled.

Hobert received them in a small reception room: "After some investigation, of course I also used some special means, and finally found Mr. Zachary and Mr. Heyman."

Mr. Robin and his cousin had given up all hope. They all stood up excitedly when they heard such a heavy news at the beginning of the conversation.

"After a friendly 'negotiation' with them, I got back the money you were defrauded of." Hobert put the small suitcase on the table: "But you must know that the money was returned by special means Yes, so please keep quiet, both of you."

Mr. Robin stared at the box in Hobart's hand and nodded again and again. Finally, Hobert opened the box, and they saw two stacks of 5-pound and 10-pound banknotes.

Then there was the voice of excitedly pointing out the money. They counted it several times, from disbelief at the beginning to excitement, and then to tears of joy.

After a while, Mr. Robin stabilized his emotions: "Mr. Lawyer, your professional ability is beyond our imagination."

Hobert smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliments, now it's time to fulfill your promise."

Although Mr. Robin was a little bit reluctant, he still counted out 160 pounds and handed them to Hobert.

Although his cousin muttered: "Aren't ordinary lawyers' fees 15%?" But he also reluctantly counted 160 pounds.

Hobert took the money: "I hope you can remember this lesson, this city is more like a dark forest, full of traps set by hunters.

"Don't always think about becoming a rich man overnight. It's the easiest way to fall into the trap if you have such an idea."

He gave back 80 pounds to Mr. Robin and his cousin: "I only charge 10% commission this time. If there is another time, I will charge 20% commission. Don't complain that the commission is too high then. Because that's what you asked for."

Mr. Robin and his cousin were overjoyed, and at one point it felt like they had gained 80 pounds.

Hobert lamented that Loen's culture was still not "broad and profound". This was a very common routine in the AD era, and almost no one fell for it, but it was surprisingly easy to use in Loen.

In any case, the case of Mr. Robin has finally come to a successful conclusion.

In order to prevent accidents, Hobert asked the groom of the law firm to drive Mr. Robin and his cousin to the bank in a carriage, because this was not within the scope of the groom's work, and Hobert readily gave 5 soli "Field allowance".

Then he went to his rental property and put all his cash together.

罗宾先生这件案子的佣金是160磅，多出来的赃款96磅，加上他原先就有的47磅13苏勒8便士，现在他的现金是303磅13苏勒8便士。

In addition to the Extraordinary characteristics of the "Secret Prayer" and the income from the "Mutated Eyeball", Hobert estimated that he could still get about 180, and his savings would be nearly 500 pounds. Most middle-class families don't have such a large savings.

With so much money in his hand, it would be a lie to say he was unhappy. He went to the restaurant to order some special Dixie barbecue, and went to the cake shop to buy a fruit cake and some desserts.

After returning home, Hobert told his family that he had received a commission today, so he shared the delicious food with everyone.

Donna sighed: "Dinner has become more interesting since Hobart worked."

Tai Lun ate the dessert with big mouthfuls and said, "Also, Hobert seems to be a lot more cheerful."

Hobert smiled and said: "That's because I have found my own value, of course it will become different from before."

This is probably explaining why he is becoming less and less like "Hobert". When he first came here, he had to be careful playing "Hobert" every day.

On Sunday, Hobert slept late. He didn't go out until after ten o'clock in the morning, and he was going to sell the extraordinary characteristics of "Secret Prayer".
