Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Kind people are easily bullied in the East District, and it is even less likely that there are kind people among the gang members in the East District.

So when Hobert and Hugh saw Darkholm's kind smiling face, they knew that this guy's smiling face was a disguise.

Hobert said to Darkholm: "If you can take us to see Zachary, I can make a promise that he will never affect you as the boss of the Cuckoo Bar in the future. I believe this is the best price. .”

Darkholm shook his head and bargained with a smile: "Dear Sir, I am a person who is very loyal to Boss Zachary. I will betray him only when I see actual benefits."

Hobert twitched his lips, need more money?

He said, "Okay, okay, how about 2 pounds?"

"10 pounds!"

Hobert laughed and said: "Zachary's life is not worth so much money, 3 pounds!"

"Dear Sir, as a gentleman, you should not argue with a lowly person like me because of such a small amount of money. 8 pounds, no more, otherwise my conscience will hurt."

"Who told you that I am a gentleman? You are the gentleman, and your whole family is a gentleman! Five pounds, not a penny more." This time it was all his own money, and Hobert was far less wealthy than before. So happy to spend the office's public funds.

Xio looked at Hobert, who was bargaining with Duckholm regardless of his demeanor. Didn't he hear that lawyers are very rich? Why does the lawyer in front of me seem so poor?

Then she thought, wasn't she also saving up money to buy the Sequence 8 "Sheriff" potion formula? It seems that poverty is a common problem among "wild extraordinary people".

While Xio was sighing, Hobert and Duckholm had a friendly negotiation and finally settled the deal on Zachary's hiding place for 5 pounds and 10 sulers. After meeting Zachary himself, he paid immediately.

There was a layer of sweat on Darkholm's face: "I have never seen a gentleman who is so good at bargaining. Sir, I have a small request. You don't have to pay me the commission immediately, but please let me see it. One look in your wallet demonstrates your ability to pay commissions.”

Hobert impatiently took out a 5-pound and a 1-pound note: "Hurry up, it will get dark if you wait any longer."

"As you wish," Darkholm's kind smile appeared on his face again after seeing the money: "Please follow me."

He was introducing the streets and features of the East District to Hobert and Hugh, while leading the way with a slight humility.

After walking for a few minutes, Darkholm brought the two people to a small circular courtyard.

There were several families living in this yard. When they saw Duckholm, they hurriedly threw down the starched clothes or the half-baked matchbox, ran all the way back to the house, and closed the doors and windows.

Darkholm's expression changed and he said coldly: "Everyone, come in!"

A dozen scoundrels appeared outside the courtyard gate, blocking the entrance tightly.

This courtyard is very special. The walls are very high and there is only one exit. It seems to provide these scoundrels with a good place for extortion.

They either looked back and forth at Xio with evil smiles, or stared at Hobert fiercely, as if they wanted to intimidate him with their eyes.

Darkholm smiled and said to Hobert: "Sorry sir, I hope to get more commissions. I don't want to be rough with you or this lady. Please hand over all your money and finances." Please leave the decent windbreaker, finely made shirt, and genuine leather wallet that you are wearing. To ensure your dignity, we will leave you a pair of trousers."

Hobert immediately understood that Darkholm might not know the news about Zachary at all. He had just pretended to betray Zachary, just to make sure he had no cash worth looting.

Because he had bargained with him a lot, he suspected that he might be a poor man, so he checked his wallet specifically.

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely have to go somersault this time, but Hobert and Xio were not panicked.

Hobert handed the cane to Hugh: "Miss Arbiter, I think you need a suitable weapon."

Xio took the cane: "What about you?"

Hobert took out the revolver from his gun bag: "Although my shooting skills are not very good, at such a close range, six rounds of bullets should be able to kill two or three enemies. Please give me time to change bullets. "

When Hobert took out his pistol, Darkholm's subordinates became visibly panicked.

As gangsters, they also have pistols, but they don't carry them with them because they don't have "gun qualification certificates." Carrying guns on the streets in broad daylight is equivalent to giving money to the police.

The key is that Duckholm never thought that Hobert would have a pistol. This is Backlund, and the more wealthy people gather in a place, the better the security. Moreover, the "gun qualification certificate" is not easy to apply for. In the middle-class neighborhoods of Jowood and St. George, few people have guns.

There are many rich people and nobles in Queens and the West Side, and they generally have "gun qualification certificates", but it is impossible for nobles or rich people to come to the East Side.

For Darkholm and others, having a gun in the hands of the "prey" is definitely a "black swan event."

"He only has one gun!" Darkholm quickly reacted: "But he has dozens of pounds of cash on him, which is worth more than your lives! Rush up and grab the gun!"

Bang~

Hobert fired a shot, and the bullet flew past the gangsters' hair and was nailed to the wall: "This shot is just a warning, the next shot I will aim at your heads!"

There was already a layer of cold sweat on his palms. It was the first time he fired a gun at a living person, so he was still a little nervous.

Fortunately, the fighting spirit of the gangsters was completely shattered by this shot, and they rushed out of the courtyard gate. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs.

Darkholm also ran out, but Xio had already stepped forward quickly holding the cane, aimed at Darkholm's back, and knocked him to the ground.

When the "Arbiter" path is at Sequence 9, he has excellent fighting ability, while the "Lawyer" at Sequence 9 has only enhanced his words.

Hobert also stepped forward quickly and pointed his pistol at Duckholm. Suddenly his heart moved: "Mr. Duckholm, everything that just happened is evidence of your blackmail. I will report to the 'arbiter' Miss Hugh. If you file a lawsuit, according to the relevant regulations of the criminal law, you will face a prison sentence of two to five years. If you have any objections, you can ask a lawyer to communicate with me."

Darkholm, who was sitting on the ground with his hands raised, was a little dumbfounded: "Ah, ah?"

Xio also looked at Hobert with a strange face, wondering what this boy was doing?

Hobert then added: "In view of the many inoperability of the punishment procedure for Darkholm, I suggest that it be dealt with briefly and break one of Darkholm's legs. Miss 'Arbiter', please make the final arbitration. .”

Xio thought this was Hobert's way of forcing a confession: "My arbitration is: your punishment plan is very precise, implement it immediately!"

Hobert took a deep breath intoxicated and felt for the first time that the potion was loosening.

Asking for a monthly ticket~
