Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

After coming out of the Tingen City Specialty Store, Hobert muttered in his mind: "I used to laugh at the ridiculous gifts Christine bought, but in the end I was not as good as him, so I simply forgot to buy the gifts."

Then Hobert realized a serious problem. Could it be that Christine would forget to buy gifts every time she came back, and then patronize specialty stores like himself?

After sitting in the carriage, the more Hobert thought about it, the more likely it became.

Hobert returned to Blanca Street first, and Fors was lying on an easy chair, reading a magazine with a comfortable look on his face.

Seeing Hobert come in, Forsi stood up lazily and said, "You're back."

"Well, where's Hugh?"

"She went out to do the task you gave her."

Hobert put down his luggage: "What else is there to eat at home? I haven't had lunch yet?"

"I didn't eat either."

Hobert was stunned: "You, you haven't been lying on the recliner from morning until now, right?"

"No!" Forsi smiled guiltily: "I, I'm thinking about a new book!"

Hobert twitched the corner of his mouth: Lie!

Under the indescribable look in Hobert's eyes, Forsi finally overcame his laziness, got up and went to the "Dixi Style Restaurant" not far away to order two lunches.

After eating and drinking, Hobert gave away the gifts to Forsi and Xio, and then said: "I'm going home at night, and I'll come back tomorrow morning."

After that, he left with his briefcase and many gifts.

Forsi said "Oh" and looked at the plates on the dining table: Do you still want to wash the plates? It’s so annoying. I hate washing dishes and dishes.

Hobert walked to the lawyer's office and first reported to Attorney Barton about Mr. Dominic's case.

"This case is all your fault." Barton said: "Let me see, oh, the commission fee is 150 pounds in total. Your remuneration will not be paid in accordance with the firm's "Regulations on Allocation of Commission Fees". The firm only We charge 50 pounds for agency fees and material fees, and the remaining 100 pounds are all yours, but you will not be reimbursed for your travel expenses."

Hobert smiled and joked: "If I had known this, I would have bought you some expensive gifts."

Barton smiled and shook his head: "I won't assign you new cases recently. Just fight the lawsuit in your hand! Don't be stressed."

Hobert nodded. The only case he had in hand now was Mr. Bob's case.

After leaving Mr. Barton's office, Hobert distributed gifts to a few colleagues with whom he had good relationships, then sat in his seat and briefly calculated the cost of the business trip.

The cost was really not that big. A set of clothes was damaged in the battle, including a shirt, windbreaker, and trousers. The total cost was less than 2 pounds. The main reason was that the shirt was expensive, but it was taken from home and did not cost him anything. .

Then there is the round-trip ticket and the money to buy gifts, which only totals about 6 pounds.

However, the income is 130 pounds, 100 pounds commission fee, 30 pounds tip, and he can now use the certificate issued to him by the Nighthawks to avoid tax, and these 130 pounds are all his.

This is the income on the surface. This time I went to Tingen City and got the horns of the black-haired and golden-horned evil monster, the "black eyes", and the "umbilical cord of the evil god's offspring."

These three things seem to be of a very high level, but currently they can only be placed in and used in the "Country of Disorder".

This diversified Hobert's methods when he was in the "State of Disorder" and made him look more like an evil god.

Because Mr. Ke is still lying in the coffin, this week's Tarot will be cancelled. Regarding this, "Mr. Fool" had already made a notice on Thursday. I wonder if Klein had a premonition at that time?

After staying at the office until the end of the day, Hobert took a cab home.

The whole family was very happy when he returned, and Monlisa asked the chef to make a few more dishes.

Before dinner started, Hobert handed Christine the box that Ulysses had given him.

Kristine smiled and nodded: "It seems that he has not forgotten me as an old officer."

He put the box in the study room before returning to eat.

At the dinner table, the family listened to Hobert recount his experiences on this business trip. Hearing him say that the legal case he was responsible for actually ended in a kidnapping case, everyone felt that it was more bizarre than the story in the newspaper.

After dinner, Hobert distributed gifts and the family enjoyed themselves.

On Tuesday morning, Hobert, who had returned to his best mental, spiritual and physical condition, got into the family carriage and went to work.

After sitting on the chair for more than ten minutes, he went out to "visit clients". In fact, he went to the rental house on Blanca Street.

With Forsi and Xio present, the rental house looked a little more smoky.

Hobert came in and saw Xio making tea and Forsi in the easy chair. How much did she like the easy chair? Hobert really wondered if the girl had slept in the easy chair all night?

Xio smiled and said, "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

Hobert smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

Forsi had no choice but to struggle up, and the three of them sat down around the dining table.

Xiu said: "I asked someone to find out the addresses of Niekluo Shipyard and Tuma Hotel."

She took out the slip of paper with the addresses. Both addresses were on Nicolo Street. The shipyard was at 1668, and the hotel was at No. 35 at the other end of Nicolo Street.

After getting the note, Hobert felt that the address looked familiar. He rummaged through his briefcase and finally found the address given to him by Harvey Hayden. It was run by Rex's former Guard Captain Dix. The company is located at 1899 Nicolo Street.

Nicolo Street is so lively.

Forsi took a sip of tea and said, "I didn't expect Qilinges to die so soon. Fortunately, we haven't rented a new house yet, otherwise we would have wasted the rent again."

Xio said a little embarrassedly: "There is something wrong with our rental house, Hobert. We can't move out until the day after tomorrow."

Hobert smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if we stay for a few more days. There are three bedrooms anyway."

In Backlund, it is very common for men and women to rent houses together.

Xio immediately said: "We will pay your rent! And we promise not to bring the danger back."

"Forget the rent, it's just a few days." Hobert said, "When you live here, just be responsible for my three meals a day."

Forsi immediately raised his hand and said, "I'll be responsible!"

Hobert suddenly lost all hope of eating for the next period of time.

Forsi asked again: "Hobert, how much is the monthly rent for a townhouse like this?"

"It's usually rented on an annual basis." Hobert put away Xio's findings: "20 pounds to 25 pounds for half a year."

Xio stuck out her tongue: "It's so expensive!"

Forsi also shook his head. This was not a rent they could afford now.

Then Xio talked about the commission to find cultists. She had used her connections to find the hiding place of two cultists. The two cultists were not hiding in the East End, but in a factory in the dock area.

There was no way she could ask Hobert and Forsi to help her capture these two cultists.
