Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

After lunch, Hobert held a meeting with three of his subordinates.

The current work of their team is to first open and read the current letters. Jessica mainly reads and responds to letters from newspapers and magazines, and makes interview plans, asking reporters to come and complete the interviews in the near future.

Letters of consultation and entrustment will be opened and read by Laska and Dicko. Letters of consultation can be replied to by Laska and Dicko at their discretion. Letters of entrustment must be approved by Hobert before they can reply and accept the commission.

At the end of the meeting, Hobert said that he would invite everyone to the restaurant for dinner in the evening, which was regarded as announcing the establishment of their team.

After arranging his work, Hobert returned to his office and wrote a reply to Ikanser. While writing the letter, Hobert suddenly remembered Ulysses' instructions, so he wrote another letter to Elizabeth.

In the letter, Hobert said some "poisonous chicken soup", telling Elizabeth that death happens every day, and asking her not to just focus on sadness and reverence for life, but to look forward.

After finishing writing, Hobert gave the two copies to Jessica and asked her to send them out this afternoon.

Then Hobert put on his windbreaker, picked up his cane and went to "visit clients."

He first walked back to the rental house and left a note for Xio and Forsi, telling them that he would not be back for dinner at night.

Hobert then took a taxi and headed to the "Obsidian Bar" in the North District.

He arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, but Loretta was already sitting at the bar, ordering a glass of beer but not taking a sip.

"Come so early?" Hobert put down his cane and ordered a glass of beer.

"I just had nothing to do today, so I came early." Luo Luota took out an envelope: "This is your salary last week. We pay your salary every Saturday afternoon. You can go directly to Blackthorn Security Company to get it, or you can mail it to You, but if you want to mail it, you have to make a written application."

Of course, Hobert chose to mail it. He immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote an application, and asked Loretta to submit it on his behalf.

The format and wording of the official documents were similar. Loretta took one look at them and put the application away.

Hobert asked: "What do you want me to do today?"

This is the first time a member of the Nighthawks team has taken the initiative to date Hobert.

"It's just salary, and you're already two days late."

"Just a salary?"

"Just a paycheck."

Hobert recalled the previous encounters with Loretta. This lady seemed to be obsessed with paying her salary. Could it be that she was deducted from her salary by the Nighthawks?

Can't? If the official Beyonder organization has a financial crisis, it may not be far from being disbanded.

"Well, this is indeed a big deal." Hobert agreed casually and then asked: "I reported a 'secret prayer' named Kate before. How far is your investigation?"

He added: "At the time, Ms. Daley promised to inform me of the results of the investigation."

"We have found the Heyman you mentioned." Luoluota looked around and saw that there were no guests before saying: "He seems to be in contact with the other two members of the Aurora Society. We plan to close the network this week or next week. .

"Oh, by the way, the captain said that you may also have to participate in the operation. You should be prepared in the past two days. Well, this is one of the reasons why I came to you today!"

This is the more important reason for meeting! Hobert couldn't help but complain in his mind: Does Nighthawk really owe you a salary?

Hobert took a deep breath, calmed down and nodded: "I will never be soft on this group of lunatics. After setting the time for action, you can write to me or inform me directly."

"no problem."

On the way back to the law office, Hobert realized that Loretta was wearing some magical item that made her value "salary" so much?

The more Hobert thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case. Otherwise, wouldn't the Nighthawks be afraid of being debt-collected by Lorota? How dare you ask for a member who only cares about salary?

Back at the office, when Hobert was hanging up his windbreaker, Jessica came to Hobert's office: "Lawyer Hobert, I have read all the letters from newspapers and magazines and made an interview plan. .

"If you can take a look, I will write a reply according to this plan."

The efficiency is fast enough!

Hobert took the plan and glanced at it: "No problem."

Jessica was a little embarrassed and said: "Lawyer Hobert, um, do you have any extra tickets?"

Hobert was stunned for a moment before realizing that Jessica was talking about tickets to the "Russell Memorial Exhibition".

Jessica continued to stumble and said: "Well, I have a friend who admires Russell very much, but we don't have the means to get VIP tickets for a close visit, so..."

During the afternoon meeting, Jessica saw Hobert taking away a stack of VIP tickets while sorting letters. At that time, because there were two other colleagues, it was difficult for her to ask.

She hesitated for a long time this afternoon, always feeling that it was not good to make such a request on her first day of employment, but thinking of her friend's happy smile, she decided to ask for a ticket for her friend

"Yes." Hobert generously gave two tickets: "These tickets are the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery's gratitude to me."

Jessica quickly thanked her, her happiness was beyond words.

Returning to his desk, Hobert handled official duties for more than an hour, and it was time to get off work.

The Hobert team went to a nearby restaurant for dinner together. This meal brought everyone closer together.

However, the salary that Hobert just received in the afternoon cost him 3 pounds and 3 sulers. Half a week's salary was gone. Now Hobert suddenly understood why Loretta valued the salary so much and the day when the salary was paid. .

If a week's salary is spent in two days, wouldn't the remaining 5 days be like looking forward to the stars and the moon for the day of salary payment?

…

On Wednesday, the opening day of the "Russell Memorial Exhibition", Hobert is now the head of the department. He no longer has to ask for leave, and he can go out directly to "visit clients" without being in the office.

Arriving at the exhibition venue, the queue was already packed with people. Hobert really didn’t expect that Russell, who had been dead for more than a hundred years, would still be so attractive.

However, considering the lack of entertainment methods in this era, such a commemorative exhibition is very popular among all walks of life.

Because Hobert had a VIP ticket, he could avoid queuing, go in directly from the side door, and get a close look at the things Russell once used.

As soon as he entered the door, Hobert saw a member of the "Machine Heart" who had protected him. He knew that the other person must be very busy today, so he just smiled and nodded to the other person and did not come forward to chat.

Entering the exhibition hall, as a person from the AD era, Hobert was not very interested in these things. He only praised Russell's gold toilet for being really luxurious, and wondered whether it could really be pulled out on such a toilet.

Hobert tried his best to arrive at the study area at a normal speed. As soon as he glanced at the high bookshelves in the study, he saw Jessica and the silver-haired woman in front of the bookshelves.

At the same time, Jessica also saw Hobert. She quickly waved her hand and said: "Lawyer Hobert, I didn't miss work. I asked for leave."

Hobert smiled and said, "I didn't miss work either."

Jessica was stunned for a moment, as if she understood something.
