Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor
Chapter 268 The big secret discovered by Audrey
One minute before Hobert announced the start of the party, Audrey asked her good friend Corradi in a low voice: "Do you remember what Attorney Hobert said to you in the room?"
"I don't remember." Corradi said: "I only remember that the smell of burning herbs was intoxicating, and then I became dazed. When I came back to my senses, Mr. Hobert said it was OK."
Audrey smiled slightly, and was curious about what Hobert had done? Does it really work?
Then, as an "audience", she began to examine the other members.
After becoming a "mind reader", Audrey's observation skills have become much stronger, and she can already read a lot of information from other people's expressions, as well as the details of their clothing or movements.
She saw that Viscount Gray Lint seemed a little troubled and seemed to be preparing to do some consultation at the party later.
She saw some fear in Karl's eyes, and she didn't dare to look at Hobert. He still had injuries on his face. Did Hobert beat him like this?
She saw that Forsi's smile was more confident than before, but his lazy temperament remained the same.
She saw Xio talking to Hobert, and the subtle expressions and movements shown by Xio showed that she trusted Hobert, and even relied a little on him.
When she saw the new members brought by Hobert, she seemed to have some admiration for him. This was clearly visible in her eyes, but the new members were very wary of other people.
Audrey was very satisfied with the improvement in her observation skills. Finally, she looked at Hobert, who was sitting at the top. He still liked to wear windbreakers, his smile was still very contagious, and his movements and postures showed his confidence. etc……
Audrey suddenly realized why some of Hobert's habitual actions were so similar to "Mr. Emperor"?
Although "Mr. Emperor" prefers to wear shirts and gives people a more rigorous feeling than Hobert, Audrey recalled that when she first met Hobert, he was also wearing a shirt.
At that time, he gave people the impression that he was very similar to Mr. Emperor!
The more she thought about it, the more Audrey thought about the things that Hobert and Mr. Emperor had in common. For example, they were both knowledgeable and gave people a very reliable feeling.
Audrey overlapped the figures of the two people, and they were simply the same person!
Audrey was somewhat surprised by her own idea, and almost couldn't maintain her status as an "audience"!
At this time, Audrey was quite confident that Hobert was Mr. Emperor!
She also thought that Hobert was the eldest son of Brigadier General Christine. Of course he could join the mercenary club and have relevant channels and information. So the previous investigation direction was wrong.
Audrey quickly calmed down. She had no intention of telling the truth, because that would also expose her as "Justice".
But she was very excited inside: those who can join the Tarot Society are indeed excellent people with a sense of justice in their hearts.
"Let's get started!" Hobert said at this time. He glanced at Audrey and found that something was wrong with her, but he didn't think too much about it.
Hobert also imagined that Audrey might see through the disguise he had been making. After all, this is what the "audience" is best at.
But what he didn't expect was that he would be seen through now.
Hobert smiled and said: "I reiterate that we must keep the secret of 'Justice League'. As for the consequences of not keeping it secret, I think you can consult Mr. Carl."
Everyone was stunned. The members attending the meeting had long been curious about the injury on Karl's face, but it might involve privacy, so it was not easy to ask.
After Hobert said this, everyone looked at Karl.
"I swear, I have no intention of leaking the secret." Karl quickly explained: "After I got the potion formula and main ingredients, I went to my father for confirmation."
He smiled bitterly and said: "My father asked me where the formula and main ingredients came from? I was about to speak, but for no apparent reason, I raised my hand and started slapping myself. I couldn't hold it back."
Hobert smiled and said: "You must answer 'Justice League', right?"
Karl smiled unnaturally: "My father has always been very dignified, and it is difficult to lie in front of him."
This surprised and worried the new members Jessica and Corradi, but Audrey nodded with a sense of security: This is what a mysterious organization looks like.
Gray Linte asked strangely: "Didn't you take the potion a long time ago? Why are the wounds on your face still there?"
Karl's smile just now hurt his injury. He covered his cheek and replied: "When I was going out, my eldest brother asked me where I was going, so..."
He sighed: "The eldest brother is also very dignified, and it is difficult to lie in front of him."
Fors was even more curious: "Did you tell him that you came to attend the 'Justice League' party?"
Karl shook his head: "No, the slap was so hard that I couldn't speak at all."
Everyone wanted to laugh, but they were too embarrassed to laugh.
Forsi asked again: "Then your eldest brother didn't come with you, or sent someone to follow you?"
Karl answered honestly: "I wanted to come with me, but my father stopped me. My father also asked me to seize the opportunity in front of me."
Hobert glanced at Gray Lint. The young Viscount immediately understood what Hobert meant. He opened his pocket watch, looked at it, and then shook his head. The party at this moment was not being monitored.
In other words, Karl's father regarded Karl's current encounter as a child's adventure. After all, in the Kingdom of Loen, even the earl found it difficult to obtain the main materials for the "arbitrator" path.
As for the secret gathering of Extraordinaries in Backlund, there were not only 100 but also 80. Count Vincent obviously didn't intend to care until Karl's life was in danger.
Hobert said to Carl: "Fortunately you didn't plan to betray the 'Justice League', otherwise you will definitely regret this decision."
Karl quickly said: "Of course I won't betray everyone."
Jessica, who was sitting behind Hobert, asked: "We will inevitably mention 'Justice League' to our friends. How can we avoid the same fate as this gentleman?"
Hobert commented in his heart: It's a great improvement. Through Karl's description, he found that there are certain loopholes that can be exploited to avoid encounters like Karl's.
"Just use 'that organization' or 'that party' instead." Hobert said: "But if you want to leak information about the members of the 'Justice League', or secrets talked about at the party, there will also be Carl The same thing happened to Mr.
“To give you an example, you say to a friend: Such-and-such was traded at ‘that party.’ It doesn’t matter.
"But if it's more detailed, such as who it was traded with, even just a description of the appearance is not enough."
Jessica asked again: "What if it's someone we know before? I've known Attorney Hobert for a long time before us. Do I have to avoid mentioning Attorney Hobert's name in the future?"
Hobert was very satisfied with Jessica's question, which showed from the side that she already possesses a keen "concept of order", which is very important for the Extraordinaries of the "Black Emperor" path.
"As long as what you want to express is not 'Hobert on Justice League', but the 'Lawyer Hobert' you meet in your daily work, it doesn't matter." Hobert further explained:
"Your own thoughts are important. Any thought of leaking will be punished. If there is no such thought, it doesn't matter."
Jessica nodded: "I understand."
In this case, it will not have much impact on normal life.
Karl covered his cheeks and sighed: "Can it still be like this?"
Hobert thought to himself: I hope that the higher-sequence potions of the "Judge" pathway can make this kid smarter in the future.
