Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert waited at the door of the herbal shop for more than half an hour. Finally, when Gal came back, he opened the car door: "Gall!"

Gal, who had just got off the carriage, was obviously taken aback: "Mr. Hobert?"

Hobert smiled and pointed to the coffee shop not far away: "I'll buy you a cup of coffee."

Of course, Gal is willing to enhance his relationship with his customers: "Okay, please wait a moment."

He returned to the store and put down the box, then quickly came out and entered the coffee shop, chatting and laughing with Hobert.

This coffee shop is a mid-range coffee shop, with partitions separating each table, making it perfect for conversations.

The two chatted for a while first, and then Hobert said: "Gaal, after several transactions, we can be considered friends, right?"

"of course."

"Now I have something to ask you for help. As a friend, I hope you won't refuse."

Gal said cautiously: "How can I help you?"

Hobert stopped talking in circles: "What did Mr. Kate buy from you?"

Gal was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Hobert, every occult lover likes mystery. The reason why my herbal shop's business is so good is because I keep secrets for every customer."

"That's good," Hobert said, "I'm moved by your integrity. These 10 pounds in cash can be regarded as a reward for you."

Saying this, he took out 10 pounds of cash and pushed it to Gal.

After seeing the cash, Gal obviously hesitated, but finally said: "I'm sorry, I can't betray my client's secrets."

Hobert put away the cash: "Your professional ethics are touching. I won't embarrass you."

Gal breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

However, Hobert said: "Well, let me guess, does the occult material Mr. Kate wants include poisonous viola juice and non-ludo fish blood?"

These two materials are auxiliary materials used in the magic potion formula of "Secret Prayer".

Gal's hand holding the coffee visibly shook.

Hobert smiled and said, "I understand."

He said: "Your character has withstood the test. I will introduce more friends to your herbal medicine shop in the future."

Gal nodded with a wry smile. Although he didn't know how Hobert knew the occult materials that Mr. Kate needed, he knew that Hobert must have guessed Mr. Kate's purpose of purchasing those occult materials.

After paying for the coffee, Hobert asked the firm's carriage to go back first, and he took a taxi to the Obsidian Bar in the North District.

This was something he had already considered. As soon as he confirmed that Mr. Kate was purchasing the potion materials of the "Secret Prayer", he would report it immediately.

As for whether the other party is a member of the "Aurora Society", let Dai Li and the others investigate. He is also a well-organized person now, so there is no need to risk his own investigation.

According to common sense, even if Mr. Kate is not a member of the "Aurora Society", then the source of his potion formula must be related to the "Aurora Society".

No matter what, even for their own safety, this group of lunatics must immediately report anyone they encounter.

Arriving at the Obsidian Bar, Hobert ordered a glass of beer as usual, and then tipped the bartender to invite Daley over.

Ten minutes later, Dai Li walked into the bar slowly, because there were already more people in the bar. The two people were guided by the bartender to the utility room at the back.

Dai Li smiled and said: "If you come ten minutes later, I will get off work."

She smiled and said: "Since I became your contact, my work seems to have doubled in an instant."

"This also means that your chances of promotion and salary increase are doubled." Hobert said: "I found a 'Secret Prayer'."

Dai Li immediately became serious: "Where did you find it? How did you find it?"

"This afternoon, I went to visit the plaintiff..." Hobert briefly recounted his experience this afternoon, but he did not explain where he learned the formula of the "Secret Prayer" potion, nor did he explain the specific source. Whose mouth lied out the auxiliary materials for the magic potion formula that Mr. Kate needed.

Dai Li, who was tacit, naturally did not ask for these details: "We will immediately launch an investigation. If the situation is true, we will never forget your contribution."

Hobert asked: "Is there any specific reward?"

"Yes, such as gold pounds." Dai Li said: "Your information is worth about 10 pounds. If we make a huge discovery based on the clues you provide, the reward will be doubled."

Hobert asked again: "Are there any other ways to reward?"

"You can also accumulate merit in exchange for things or help you need." Dai Li said: "For example, the extraordinary characteristics of the 'briber', such as giving you authorization, you can check some confidential information, or get some help from us, etc. .”

Hobert said: "Then I choose to accumulate merit."

Now he is not short of money.

"A wise choice." Dai Li smiled: "Many times our help cannot be measured in gold pounds."

On the way back, Hobert suddenly thought, was this considered "unhealthy competition"?

If the plaintiff refused to relent, he would kill the plaintiff.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, this seemed a bit "savage".

Then he mentally wished Mr. Kate a sweet dream tonight.

As his thoughts rolled around, Hobert thought of Captain Dunn in Tingen City through Daley.

Dunn's death is a pity for Hobert. Now that he has the "Teleporting Stone" and "The Wood of Order" in his hands, he is considering whether to save Dunn?

As for Mr. Ke, just die, he can still be resurrected anyway, and this death will not only digest the magic potion for him, but also give him a broader space for development.

Just as he was thinking of this, Hobert suddenly felt something spiritual and turned his head to look outside the carriage.

On the street outside, there was a very beautiful lady, probably in her thirties, wearing a complicated long skirt and a small gauze hat. She perfectly combined elegance and avant-garde in her clothes. .

She noticed Hobert's gaze and smiled kindly at him. It's just that her eyes are a little arrogant, which makes people feel scared, and they don't match her appearance and smile.

Hobert was stunned for a moment and smiled.

The wheel turned and the lady disappeared from Hobert's sight.

Hobert was a little strange. Why did his spirituality guide him to look out the car window?

This was just a small episode, and was quickly forgotten by Hobert.

…

At the dinner table, Kristine seemed a little preoccupied, so the atmosphere at the table was quite depressed. There was no chatting after the meal, and everyone went back to their rooms.

Kristine was the last one to leave the restaurant. He suddenly felt something and came to the study unhurriedly.

Already sitting on the chair behind the desk was a beautiful woman in her thirties, the same woman Hobert saw on the carriage in the afternoon.

She smiled and said: "Christine, long time no see. You look much more mature than you were more than twenty years ago, but the magic enchantment in your study is still so bad."
