Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

It was already past three in the morning when Hobert returned home.

As soon as he reached the second floor, Hobert ran into Donna who was wearing pajamas and yawning: "Come back so late?"

Hobert smiled and said: "Occasionally work overtime."

Donna nodded, yawned and went to the bathroom.

After knocking on the study door, Christine was indeed still waiting for him in the study.

Hobert briefly told the story of tonight's battle and his gains. Of course, he only told part of the psychic gains.

Kristine nodded: "The speed with which you found the magic potion formula was completely beyond my imagination.

"But don't be proud or arrogant. In the world of extraordinary people, prudence is a virtue that will never go out of style."

Hobert said "hmm" and then said: "Father, I plan to move out. Sometimes I come back too late and I don't know how to explain it.

"How about I rent a house next to the law firm and live there if I'm 'working' too late."

Christine smiled and said: "When the children grow up, home becomes a constraint."

He said: "It's okay for you to go out to live, but you have to come back and live two days a week. Also, tell your mother tomorrow morning."

After leaving the study and returning to his room, Hobert, who was already exhausted, changed his clothes and went to sleep. However, at seven o'clock the next day, he woke up under the reminder of spirituality. He had to go to meet the Nighthawks team today. Discuss transaction 2-355.

At the breakfast table, Hobert talked about going out to live while eating. His reasons were very good. He often "worked overtime" until very late recently. If he had a place to live not far from the law firm, he would You can save time on traveling.

Moreover, in the morning, he and Donna and Tyron didn't go the same way. In order to prevent themselves from being late, Donna and Tyron often had to go to school early.

Although the adoptive mother Monlisa was a little reluctant to give up, Christine agreed, and she did not object. She just told Hobert to go home when he was free, and promised that the family would help Hobert pay part of the rent.

After breakfast, a yawning Hobert came to the law office, showed his face, and then went to "visit clients."

He first went to No. 192 Blanca Street, took out the black gloves in the way of gifts, and put them into the cloth bag that he had prepared long ago.

Following Dai Li's instructions yesterday, Hobert went directly to Blackthorn Security Company.

There was a woman in her forties at the front desk: "Is this Mr. Hobert?"

Hobert was stunned: "Yes."

"The captain and Ms. Daly are already waiting for you in the office." As he spoke, the other party led Hobert upstairs.

Hobert asked curiously: "Do you know me?"

The last time he came to the security company, he didn't remember meeting anyone other than Dai Li.

The middle-aged lady said implicitly: "Our security company's business volume is not very large."

Hobert understood immediately, meaning that the security company had little business and he was the only one who came to the door this morning, so the lady was so sure of his identity.

Arriving at the office on the second floor, Thomas and Daley were already in the office.

After closing the office door, Dai Li asked: "Black tea or coffee."

"Black tea, thank you."

After Dai Li, who was serving tea, also sat down, the three of them started talking about business.

Thomas said: "I reported your situation to the Archbishop overnight last night. After our discussion, the Archbishop agreed to your transaction request."

He smiled and said: "This is the church's only transaction for sealed items in the past hundred years."

Hobert nodded, knowing that if nothing unexpected happened, the Nighthawks team would agree to the deal. After all, this deal was more in their interests.

"But we have a request." Thomas said: "If 2-355 is lost or snatched, you are obliged to inform the Nighthawks Team."

"no problem."

Thomas then took out the stone box containing 2-355 from his drawer: "This stone box is also a magical item, and its value is equivalent to the extraordinary characteristics of the 'briber'.

"If you need the stone box, we will only give you two more extraordinary characteristics of the 'barbarian' and the certificate of the non-staff."

"If you don't need the stone box, we will deal with it as you asked yesterday."

Hobert was stunned. This was something he had not expected.

Thomas's approach was obviously to use the extraordinary characteristics of the "briber" to motivate Hobert to continue to contribute to the Nighthawks team.

But he may not have thought that there are other ways for Hobert to obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the "briber".

"I want the stone box!" Hobert once again made a decision readily.

Dai Li on the side explained: "You didn't borrow 2-355 for more than 12 hours twice before, so I didn't remind you of the negative effects of the stone box.

"Since you are going to hold the stone box for a long time, you have to pay attention. If you are in close contact with the stone box for more than 12 hours in total, you will be gradually petrified by the stone box.

"You must rest for more than 6 hours before carrying the stone box again. If the time between two close contacts with the stone box exceeds 6 hours, the time will be accumulated again."

Hobert said "Oh": "Thanks for the reminder."

In his mind, he was scolding these nighthawks for being too cautious. What negative effects of a stone box should be kept secret?

Originally, he wanted to tell Dai Li about the negative effects of black gloves, but now he doesn't plan to tell them and let them find out for themselves.

The deal was concluded smoothly, and Thomas took out a wooden box from the drawer. Inside were two copies of the extraordinary characteristics of the "barbarian" and two small certificates.

The certificate above had the Holy Emblem of the Night printed on its surface. Hobert opened it and found his basic information.

The badge on the surface of the second certificate is a sword surrounded by a crown. This is a certificate from the special police department. Hobert's police rank is sergeant.

Hobert smiled. The second certificate was purely unexpected. This certificate should be useful at some point.

When leaving Blackthorn Security Company, Hobert's briefcase was heavy. He finally got 2-355, as well as two "barbarian" extraordinary characteristics.

Coupled with the two extraordinary characteristics that Upton promised him, this operation really made a lot of money!

After getting on the taxi, Hobert thought about changing the name of 2-355. He was not an official Beyonder, so of course he didn't like the numerical name of the sealed object.

After a brief thought, Hobert decided to call it the "Teleporting Stone."

When they returned to the law office, Xio and Forsi had also arrived, and Hobert entertained them in a small reception room.

Hobert wrote down the "Master of Magic" potion formula with a pen and paper and handed it to Forsi: "This is what you deserve."

Forsi took it in her hand and glanced at it first. She had been looking for the magic potion formula for too long, and suddenly she got it in her hand. The paper seemed to become heavy immediately.

She had heard about the two main ingredients above at the Extraordinary gathering, but they were not cheap, each costing more than 300 pounds.

Hobert said to Hugh again: "Yesterday I also got the 'Sheriff's' potion formula."
