Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

After talking about business, Hobert and Klein said goodbye to each other like other gentlemen.

Continuing the visit, Hobert passed by the living area when leaving. A woman with long chestnut hair and excellent body proportions caught Hobert's attention.

Her eyebrows are very distinctive, stretching all the way to the tips of her eyebrows, adding some majesty to her temperament, making her look very capable, like the leader of a large department.

In addition to her beauty and outstanding temperament, her clothes were incompatible with her surroundings. She wore a pair of beige trousers that were easy to move around, a pair of long black leather boots, a light brown knee-length skirt on her upper body, and a pair of casual heels. The conservative dressing style of En Guo is very different.

Even Xio sighed, this combination of trousers and leather boots should be very convenient for movement.

In Backlund, women with middle and upper income levels basically wear various skirts. The only lightweight clothing is the knight uniform that Xio is wearing.

Hobert remembered that Xio had many similar knight uniforms. It wasn't that she liked them very much, but it was the only type of clothing in Backlund that made it easier to move around.

Ladies all feel that trousers are not ladylike enough, so there is no market for women's trousers in Loen.

The woman with outstanding temperament and dress seemed to feel the gazes of Hobert and others.

She only looked at Hobert and the others with her peripheral vision, and then continued to look at the building blocks in the living area.

After leaving the exhibition hall, Hobert thought belatedly, that couldn't be "Huang Beibei", right?

It's not that Hobert reacted slowly, but in his concept, Bernadette was the daughter of "Huang Tao", and her "Uncle Zhou" was only twenty-four or five years old even if he had a beard.

So in Hobert's subconscious, Bernadette should be about the same age as Donna, or younger than Donna.

After all, Hobert is also an "uncle". He is only 23 years old this year. When he imagined Bernadette, he always thought that she was about twenty years old.

When he saw the twenty-seven-year-old lady in the living area with a mature temperament, he didn't think about Bernadette at all.

But when I think back, with chestnut hair, excellent body proportions, and avant-garde and unique outfits, who is it but Bernadette?

"Hobert, let's go first!" Hugh stepped onto the public carriage and said to Hobert, who was obviously in a daze.

Only then did Hobert come back to his senses: "See you tonight, oh, no, I have some entertainment tonight, so I don't need to prepare my dinner. See you tomorrow!"

Watching the public carriage leave, Hobert smiled and shook his head.

Even if he recognized Bernadette and approached her to strike up a conversation, he would probably be beaten up as a scoundrel.

Bernadette definitely has such strength.

Hobert thought for a while, even if he tried his best to strike up a conversation with Bernadette, it would still be impossible to borrow the "Djinn" immediately.

It would be better to wait for the opportunity to interact with her more naturally in the future, Hobert thought: lest Bernadette would have a bad impression of him and affect the process of borrowing the "Djinn" in the future.

After watching a commemorative exhibition at noon, Hobert returned to the law office in the afternoon to continue working.

At three or four o'clock, Hobert received a reply from Elizabeth, saying that she and Selina, along with siblings Melissa and Benson, would come to Backlund together this weekend.

There was no other content in the letter, so Hobert unfolded the letter and wrote a brief reply. Basically, he said that he knew it, and asked Elizabeth to send him a telegram after buying the ticket so that he could pick up the train at the station.

After work, Hobert took a carriage with Jessica to her and Kelly's residence.

Kelly was packing her things in the studio, and Jessica went to the restaurant to buy three simple meals. After finishing the three meals, she found a taxi to go to the suburbs.

It was already dark while we were still on the road, and when we arrived at the abandoned workshop we had arranged for, a layer of mist had already appeared in the cold early winter air.

The other party had already arrived first. As Kelly described, there were four of them, and they were all Extraordinary.

The four people looked at Hobert almost at the same time. It was obvious that they did not expect that Kelly would bring anyone else.

The workshop was very empty, with some waste piled in the corner. There was only a table and an oil lamp in the middle. The four of them were already sitting on the inside.

Jessica, who walked at the end, closed the door smoothly. Hobert and the other three sat on the side near the door. Hobert deliberately sat on the left side and gave up the middle seat to Kelly.

"I didn't expect that you would bring anyone else here. This is against the rules." John, the leader of the other party, said.

On the carriage that arrived, Kelly introduced to Hobert that the leader of the other party was called John and the Sequence 7 was named Alex. Kelly didn’t know the names of the two Sequence 8s either.

As for names like John and Alex, they sound like pseudonyms at first glance.

"There are four of you, and there are only two of us." Jessica explained for Kelly: "With one more person, we can feel more at ease."

"Okay." John, who is in his forties, tall and strong, said with a smile: "I hope this friend can keep it a secret."

Only the dead can truly keep secrets. No, in the mysterious world, the dead may not be able to keep secrets. You have to remember to dispose of the corpse.

John has already made up his mind, whether Kelly is willing or not, he will turn her into a member of the organization today.

Kelly had come to refuse to join their organization, so the conversation was deadlocked at the beginning.

John quickly lost his patience. He sneered and said to Kelly: "You don't think that just because you found a pretty boy, you have the confidence to reject us, do you?"

Hobert finally said, "Theoretically, yes."

John smiled and shook his head: "Okay, okay, whatever you say."

He no longer concealed: "Kelly must join us today. As for you two, you can also join us. If not, hehe~"

John had already understood that although Kelly had Sequence 6, she was not good at fighting, while Jessica only had Sequence 9.

As for the helper they found, it was most likely Sequence 7, and at most Sequence 6.

Among wild Extraordinary people, it is difficult to find Sequence 6 helpers, except for "craftsmen" of course. After all, when they encounter difficulties, everyone wants to help. With friendship, they can entrust "craftsmen" to help them in the future. Make your own weapons.

But even if this helper is Sequence 6, John is not afraid. There are four of them and they have rich combat experience.

Even if they were not sure of killing this helper, they were still sure of defeating or driving them away. By the time this helper found more helpers, they would have already left Backlund with Kelly.

Hobert asked: "There is no room for negotiation?"

"No!" John said firmly.

Hobert smiled and said: "That's easy. I happen to be short of money recently, so you guys came to my door. I want to thank you!"

Before John could say anything, he heard two "provocateurs" from Sequence 8 say to another Sequence 8: "Mary is blind to fall in love with a fool like you. I want to rescue her from you." come out!"

Another Sequence 8 was not to be outdone and said: "I have wanted to dig out your eyes for a long time. Do you think I didn't notice the disgusting look in your eyes when you faced Mary?"

For half a second, John wanted to reprimand his two subordinates without even looking at the time. Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed by your trivial things?

But then he reacted and quickly jumped away from the table. This "boy's" offensive had already begun!

Everyone’s monthly tickets are very helpful, and the author’s additional updates must be equally helpful╰(*°▽°*)╯

In order to write this chapter and add updates, the author got up around six o'clock in the morning. It feels good to write a book early in the morning, but I have to catch up on my sleep after lunch (*￣(エ)￣)
