Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Backlund West District, in the living room of Arnold's house.

There were a dozen people sitting or standing in the spacious living room, smoking or smoking cigars.

Last night, they gathered together to wait for the news of Hobert's arrest, but the situation far exceeded their expectations, and no body was found at Hobert's residence.

Are those two "corpses" that Arnold hired for 600 pounds? Moreover, Arnold's subordinates watched them break into Hobert's residence, so why did they disappear into thin air?

While Arnold and the others didn't react, Hobert hid in a security company because the security company had no reputation. They were about to break in, but were stopped by Mr. Kenneth who came over.

Until the sun rose, everyone was tired and sleepy, and no better solution could be discussed.

At this time, Arnold's subordinates came to report: Hobert went to the residence of Viscount Gray Lint.

Gusta said unhappily: "Arnold, why didn't you tell us earlier that Hobert also knows some nobles!"

In the Loen Kingdom today, the most powerful people are still the nobles.

Arnold almost broke out in a cold sweat: "President, I really don't know this!"

A friend of Arnold helped him explain: "President, the current Viscount Grayling just inherited the title last year, but because his father died suddenly, he did not fully inherit the connections of the old Viscount Grayling. , has never had a serious job, and can only be regarded as a down-and-out noble."

Today's nobles are divided into two types, one is the powerful nobles, and the other is the down-and-out nobles.

The former is the object of fawning over everyone here, while the latter is not so unattainable to this group of businessmen.

Gusta glanced at the two people who just spoke: "Don't you think that our handling of Hobert's matter was not smooth?"

Originally, they wanted to scare off Hobert with threats and their wealth, but in the end, Hobert was not intimidated at all, and in turn taught them a lesson.

Then they tried to play dirty, but failed again. Neither Hobert nor Bob was harmed.

Arnold asked reluctantly: "Mr. Kenneth? Can't we really break into the Blackthorn Security Company and take Hobert away?"

Kenneth, who was in his thirties and had a long face, could only explain it more clearly: "Let me tell you this, when we break into the Blackthorn Security Company to arrest someone, it is equivalent to breaking into the Church of the Goddess of the Night to arrest a clergyman. .”

Arnold understood: "It turns out that this security company is the property of the Church of the Goddess of the Night!"

Kenneth was too lazy to continue explaining to them: "In short, if you are going to arrest people at the Blackthorn Security Company, the Duke will not continue to give you any convenience in this matter."

Everyone looked at each other, and then they understood the seriousness of this matter.

Then they began to scold Hobert for being cunning and finding a place to hide.

Kenneth said: "There is no need to use these shameful tricks anymore. Now that we have hired Barrister Hugo, I think even if he defends Hobert openly in court, will a barrister still lose to a barrister?" A little famous lawyer?"

People around him immediately began to flatter him: "Mr. Kenneth is right. Even if he knows the Viscount, he is just a small lawyer."

"Mr. Kenneth's reminder made us realize our stupidity. Why do we spend so much time solving that little lawyer outside the court when we can obviously win in court?"

"..."

Arnold didn't speak. He was someone who had seen Hobert's defense process. He was brave and resourceful. He was really unsure whether he could win the case.

…

Carl Vincent shook hands with Hobert politely, praised Forsi's beauty, and praised the "teenage" Xio for being able to join such an occult gathering.

Xio smiled helplessly, but because he wasn't familiar with it, he didn't explain.

Forsi was trying hard to hold back his laughter, while Hobert glanced at Gray Lint, his eyes seeming to say: Are you too direct?

Previously, during an unexpected mercenary mission, Hobert accidentally discovered the ring that Gray Lint was looking for, which was with Count Vincent.

During the last "Justice League" gathering, Viscount Graylingt did not announce the task of stealing the ruby ​​ring. This shows that he did not want to announce the task at the gathering, as well as the other side of him that he has always hidden.

Gray Lint smiled slightly and said with a pun: "My father and Count Vincent are good friends, and of course everyone of our generation is also a good friend."

Hobert nodded and turned to Carl: "Are you sure you want to join the 'Justice League'? Before you make the final decision, I want to warn you that if you reveal the secrets of the 'Justice League', you will be punished immediately. If you quit, we'll erase all memory of 'Justice League' from you."

Carl said: "I am determined to join the 'Justice League'."

After getting a clear answer, Hobert said to Gray Lint: "Help me prepare a room where I will not be disturbed."

Graylingt took them to a small reception room next to the study. After Hobert asked Graylingt to leave, he painted occult symbols on the table in the living room and lit them. Candle.

After Hobert whispered the "spell", he said to Karl in a solemn voice: "Come to the altar."

Karl was completely frightened by Hobert's operation, which shows that he does not have much occult knowledge.

When Karl arrived a few days ago, Hobert said: "Empty your spirituality!"

As he spoke, he dropped "Amanda" pure dew onto the candle. Under the influence of the drug, Karl immediately felt drowsy.

At this time, Hobert used the power of the "Psychic Spoon": "In the years to come, if you plan to leak any information about 'Justice League', you will cry and slap yourself until you no longer have any intention."

"If you insist on speaking under the interference of external forces, you will only tell the most dirty memories that you are unwilling to reveal to others, and at the same time, you will forget everything about 'Justice League'."

Because of the assistance of "Amanda" hydrosol, the effect of this psychological suggestion is very good. Unless you meet the demigods of the "audience" path, it will be difficult to obtain information about the "Justice League".

Hobert first "distorted" the negative effects of the "Psychological Spoon", and then patted Karl on the shoulder: "Wake up!"

Karl trembled all over, as if he suddenly came back to his senses: "Is it over?"

"It's over." Hobert warned: "Remember, if you plan to leak the secret, you will be punished immediately."

Karl nodded repeatedly, having already put away his previous arrogance.

After going out, Gray Lint, who was waiting outside, asked Karl: "What do you think now?"

"It's nothing." Karl said: "But the ceremony just now was very magical. I seemed to fly into the sky and saw small islands made of clouds one after another.

"You are right, Mr. Hobert is a master of mysticism!"

Hobert, who was following behind, smiled and shook his head. What Karl saw might be his own spiritual island.
