Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert had already prepared more detailed information about Hillman from the Nighthawks team.

After handing the information to the waiter, Hobert went to look at other information on the information wall.

Among the publicly available information, Hobert found a piece of valuable information.

He remembered that when he first came to the mercenary club, he saw someone forming a team to go to the Southern Continent to rob the Intis Republic of its colonial plundered gold.

Now the follow-up to this operation is here. Although many people died, not many of them were successful.

But even if they tried all their methods, they still couldn't take away all the gold there.

After Intis' reinforcements from the colony arrived, more than 100,000 pounds of gold were protected by them.

The Republic of Intis knew that the location where it hid the gold had been exposed, and was afraid that other forces would also be interested in it, so it simply shipped the gold, as well as a lot of silver and gems, back to the Republic of Intis.

The wealth that that team of mercenaries snatched was enough for them to live like rich men for the rest of their lives, so they simply sent people to keep an eye on when the Intis Republic's ship would set sail and which route it would take.

They publish this information in the hope that their peers will also have a chance to make a fortune.

However, they also warned their colleagues not to take risks if they were not strong enough, because the person escorting this batch of property was a brigadier general from the Republic of Intis, a well-known strong man in West Balam.

Hobert estimated that the information the other party wanted to reveal was: That was a Sequence 5!

At the same time, he believed that the other party was likely to possess at least a level 2 sealed object.

Opponents of this level are inherently difficult to deal with, and it will be even more difficult to deal with them if they are at sea.

First of all, there must be a ship, experienced sailors, and enough strong men in the action team.

Hobert was about to read the next message when he suddenly thought that he could sell this message to "The Hanged Man"!

Of course, instead of asking the "Hanged Man" to snatch this batch of gold, it would be equivalent to asking him to die.

You can let the "Hanged Man" resell this news, and the Hanged Man earns an information fee, while Hobert earns an information intermediary fee.

So Hobert wrote down the details in this message before starting to read the next message.

Looking at it piece by piece, none of the other information was very important to Hobert.

Soon it was lunch time, and Hobert went to the restaurant to eat, and met an acquaintance in the restaurant: the masked man who issued a mission to Hugh.

It's just that he wasn't wearing a mask today. He was in his thirties and looked very ordinary, the kind of ordinary that would be difficult to find again if thrown into a crowd.

After Hobert accompanied Xio to meet the masked man at Mr. A's party, he also specifically asked about the masked man's name: Byron, but no one knew which department Byron was an officer.

They were all here to attend the party, and they didn't know anyone else, so the two of them chatted without a word.

After the party started, the two of them entered the underground theater together and sat together.

The party here is still the same. The first is the team building session. Some people recruit teammates to rob the Intis Republic's ship full of gold. Some people recruit teammates to explore a newly discovered uninhabited island. Some people recruit teammates to go to Fenebo. An assassination mission was completed in the Special Kingdom, and someone recruited teammates to find the treasure of an ancient Extraordinary family.

Although many people recruited teammates, there were no major actions during this period.

Then comes the transaction phase, again starting from the front row with selling or buying.

Since there hasn’t been any big action recently, there aren’t any good things for sale.

However, there was still trading of extraordinary characteristics. Hobert, who had attended gatherings of other extraordinary people, thought at this time that only the mercenary club openly bought and sold extraordinary characteristics.

At other gatherings, transactions of extraordinary characteristics are usually carried out behind the scenes.

Hobert only thought of this question today. Why was there such a large volume of transactions for extraordinary characteristics at the mercenary club party?

When it was almost Hobert's turn, he took out the wooden box containing the main ingredients of "Prisoner" in advance. Before he could shout, Byron next to him asked: "Another Extraordinary Characteristic?"

Hobert nodded. He was going to shout it out soon anyway, so there was nothing to hide.

The other party didn’t ask what path’s extraordinary characteristics it was, and simply whispered: “I want it!”

Hobert was stunned for a moment before saying: "Prisoner."

"290 pounds!"

"Last time I sold it for 300 pounds!"

"That's 300 pounds. After the party, we'll trade in the living room."

Hobert nodded and put the wooden box away again.

After more than half an hour, the party ended, and Hobert and Byron met in a small living room.

After Byron inspected the goods, he happily paid.

Hobert counted it again to make sure it was correct.

Byron smiled and said: "If you have any extraordinary characteristics that you want to use in the future, you can come to me directly, especially if you are in a hurry to use money. You don't have to wait for the party to cash it out."

Hobert asked: "Don't ask about the origin of the extraordinary characteristics?"

"Do not ask."

"All the extraordinary characteristics of any path are accepted?"

"Take it all." Byron took out a pen and paper and wrote an address: "If you have extraordinary characteristics that you want to sell, send a letter to this address. The content of the letter is 'The goods have arrived'.

"After I receive the letter, I will come to the mercenary club from nine to ten o'clock the next morning to trade. If it doesn't arrive at ten o'clock, it means there is something temporary, and the transaction will be carried out at the same time the next day."

Hobert put away the address and asked: "Why did you take back these extraordinary characteristics? Make them into magical items?"

"Used to preserve value! Used to plunder the gold of the Southern Continent!" Byron smiled: "The Extraordinary property preserves value better than gold. No matter whether the currency will depreciate or not, it will not depreciate.

“It also has strategic significance, such as the extraordinary characteristics of the ‘Prisoner’ pathway. Every year, we ask the Rose School to use a large amount of gold in exchange for the extraordinary characteristics of the relevant pathways in our hands.

"Then we will continue to attack the Rose School of Thought, seize new extraordinary characteristics, and let them exchange them for gold."

Hobert didn't expect such an operation: "What if they don't change it?"

"Then increase the intensity of the crackdown." Byron said: "Until the main material of 'Prisoner' increases sharply, then as long as we are slightly cheaper than the market price, we will be snapped up by the local Beyonders."

Hobert finally understood why some evil extraordinary organizations are always poor. When it comes to how to play people, it depends on the gentlemen of the Loen Kingdom.

He asked again: "If we attack the Rose School, we will also lose extraordinary people. How can we fix this loophole?"

"This is the benefit of official Beyonders." Byron said: "Most of the time, we can calmly recycle the Beyonder characteristics."

Hobert nodded, which meant that he completely regarded low-sequence military Beyonders with no backing and background as cannon fodder.
