Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 82 Quaternary Relics

"It's not that serious." The defendant's lawyer smiled and said, "This is just an ordinary industrial injury case. Let's not make things more complicated."

"Yeah, you're used to not treating people as people." Hobert said, "You think this work-related injury case should be handled like this. This is the saddest part."

The defendant's lawyer waved his hand: "Okay, let's talk about something practical.

"Even if you want to sue Mr. Arnold for intentional injury, the probability of you winning the case is very low, so let's just leave it at that.

"How about 200 pounds? That's way beyond Mr. Arnold's obligations."

Hobert shook his head: "1000 pounds."

The defendant's lawyer's face was livid: "Your request will make it impossible for us to continue talking."

"Okay, goodbye." Hobert opened the car door and helped Bob get out of the car.

Baker, who has been silent all this time, said darkly: "Mr. Arnold will use all his connections to make you lose the lawsuit! You don't even want to get a penny!"

Hobert smiled: "Why do I think you are scared? Why do you sound so unconfident?"

Baker snorted coldly, and closed the door without saying anything. The coachman swung his whip, and the carriage slowly left.

Bob who picked up his "crutch" suddenly said: "Mr. Hobert, if you agreed to their request just now, I wouldn't blame you."

Hobert smiled while waving at the rental carriage, "One must always pursue something."

When he came to the Obsidian Bar in the North District, Hobert asked Bob to wait outside the door. He went in and asked for a glass of beer, and tipped the bartender, asking the bartender to invite Ms. Daly to come over.

It's very close to the Blackthorn Security Company, and Daly came over ten minutes later: "We meet too often, is this your way of deliberately approaching me?"

Hobert smiled: "Ma'am, I have no intention of falling in love now."

"What a young man who doesn't know how to cherish." Dai Li smiled and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me this time?"

Hobert straight to the point: "I want you to send my client to the workhouse of the Church of Evernight."

Daly frowned: "This is not my responsibility."

"Helping the believers of the goddess to solve the difficulties they encountered, isn't this your duty?"

"Well, well, I'm actually trying to argue with a 'lawyer'!" Daly asked, "What's so special about him?"

"Ma'am, Backlund is full of ordinary people."

"Then why do you sympathize with him?"

"It's not what you imagined." Hobert said, "I let him go to the poorhouse, but I just need him to live."

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "I have my purpose."

"Oh?" Daly tilted her head and looked at Hobert: "Really?"

The two chatted for a while, and came to the door of the bar together. Hobert handed Bob to Daly.

After Hobert got into the carriage and left, Daly asked Bob, "Tell me about what happened to you."

"Huh? All right, all right, ma'am."

……

Back at the law firm, Hobert began to prepare materials to submit to the official court, and the next step was to wait for the court to accept and announce the hearing time.

After finishing all this work, Hobert stretched his waist and finally had a little leisure time. He looked at the scenery outside the window and thought about buying some delicious food to reward himself after get off work.

Fishing time always flies by quickly. After get off work, Hobert bought some pumpkin bread and desserts to reward himself for his performance in the justice court today.

After dinner in a pleasant atmosphere, Christine called Hobert into the study: "I have already asked Dopheus to contact Jacob Otto. What they found is indeed a Quaternary relic."

Hobert froze for a moment before recalling that Jacob was the one who claimed to have discovered the remains of the Fourth Epoch and formed a team at the mercenary club gatherings twice.

When he formed a team for the second time, Hobert also helped him convey his wish to ask Brigadier General Christine for help.

And Dolphus is Christine's personal servant, notoriously incompetent, but Christine has always kept him by his side.

Hobert had guessed for a long time whether he would be a Beyonder. Since Christine would send him to conduct preliminary investigations and contact Jacob, he must be a Extraordinary who is loyal to Christine.

Christine said: "Tomorrow Dopheus will officially join Jacob's team, and you will go with him, and you will often show up in the future. At the end of the day, you will also be eligible to share the proceeds from the ruins."

There is such a good thing!Hobert nodded: "Okay."

Of course he knew that this was not Jacob's great kindness, but the benefit of a brigadier general in exchange for his face.

Christine took a deep breath and said, "After Rex came back from the southern continent, he did explore some ancient ruins, but I only accompanied him to explore two places, not including the one discovered by Jacob's team. Perhaps, perhaps, his relics can be found in the ruins."

Hobert didn't have any "feelings" about this, after all he was very unfamiliar with this "biological father".

After the simple conversation, Hobert left the study and went to ask Dolphus about the departure time tomorrow. Finally, he wrote a leave note to Barton and asked the driver to take him to the law firm tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, Hobert and Dopheus took the carriage to the northern suburbs of Backlund.

Dolphus was about the same age as Christine, and his skin color and hair color had obvious characteristics of the Southern Continent. He looked cold and taciturn, more like a bodyguard than a personal servant.

Hobert tried to initiate a few topics, but he didn't get a response from Dolphus. He also lost the desire to chat, and stared at the scenery outside the car window in a daze.

After leaving Backlund's urban area, the carriage drove for more than an hour before arriving at the ruins excavation site.

Backlund's unique smog is no longer here, the sun is much brighter, and there is no pungent smell in the air.

The camp of Jacob's team was set up at the foot of a mountain. It was not the kind of secret excavation similar to tomb robbers that Hobert had imagined, but was excavating ruins with great fanfare, and there were dozens of tents alone.

It can be seen that Jacob hired many ordinary people, who were carrying out excavation work such as soil transportation and antique cleaning.

Jacob had already received the news and greeted Dolphus and Hobert at the gate of the camp.

"Mr. Hobert, thank you for facilitating our cooperation with General Christine." Jacob said politely while shaking hands with Hobert.

Hobert smiled and said, "It was your sincerity that moved my father."

He asked: "Won't the local government obstruct your actions?"

"We have legal archaeological excavation documents." Jacob said: "A few years ago, my team protected an archaeological team and forged a deep friendship with them."

Jacob then gave Hobert and Dolphus a brief tour of the camp, and then took them to the excavation site behind the camp.

The remains of the Quaternary Era are buried underground, and the workers have already cleared a very wide entrance.

A group of people entered a magnificent-looking building together. There was a line written on the inner wall of the building: Don't look at the rabbit; when you encounter danger, it is more important to close your eyes than to escape.
