Matthews carefully selected several newly purchased medicinal herbs. He silently repeated the correct processing steps for each herb in his mind and carefully recorded these important details in a notebook. He planned to go to the laboratory in the afternoon to practice it himself to verify this knowledge.

While he was immersed in the world of pharmacy, Joseph had quietly arrived outside his residence.

At this time, although Joseph's heart was in turmoil, he tried his best to maintain a calm appearance. He recalled his arduous journey from an unknown apprentice to a law enforcement captain, and his heart was mixed with pride and a bit of bitterness.

When facing other apprentices, he always showed an unparalleled and majestic image, but at this moment, he inevitably became a pawn in the hands of the powerful. With a heavy heart, he knocked on Matthews' door.

Matthews opened the door and saw the complex and calm expression on Joseph's face. He immediately understood that the result he expected had been achieved.

He could not hide his inner joy and enthusiastically invited Joseph to come in. However, there was an imperceptible cunning light flashing in his eyes.

Joseph originally did not want to have anything to do with Matthews anymore, because he felt that this man's style of doing things was always unpredictable, and that his roguery revealed wisdom, rationality, and calmness.

In desperation, Joseph had to follow Matthews into the room because he still needed to get what Matthews called the "key evidence."

He looked around Matthews' residence. Although the interior was simply furnished, every item was arranged in an orderly manner, showing the owner's good living habits and rigorous character.

After the two sat down, Matthews asked directly: "Captain Joseph, you should have got what I want, right?" His voice was firm and powerful, as if everything was under his control.

Joseph took a deep breath, took out a hundred magic stones from his space pocket and put them on the table, and reminded: "This is what you wanted, but I must tell you that you have offended Lex badly."

Matthews didn't seem to care about it. After carefully checking the number of magic stones, he nodded with satisfaction. "Thank you, Captain Joseph. You really helped me a lot."

Joseph felt helpless. He really couldn't understand what Matthews was doing. He just wanted to get what he wanted quickly and get away from this place of trouble.

He urged impatiently: "Now that you have obtained what you want, please give me the evidence you mentioned!"

However, Matthews seemed not to hear what Joseph said, and continued to talk to himself: "I bought a large bag of medicinal herbs today, and found it really inconvenient to carry them. In comparison, it is so convenient for you to use the space pocket. It saves both space and effort." His tone revealed his deep envy of the space pocket.

Joseph noticed that Matthews' words seemed to have a deeper meaning, but he was unable to fully understand it for a moment. He frowned at Matthews, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.

Matthews looked at Joseph with some surprise, thinking that these law enforcement teams usually accept bribes, shouldn't these code words be on their lips? He decided to express his intention more directly: "It would be great if I could have a space pocket too."

This sentence immediately angered Joseph, and he stood up suddenly, “Matthews, don’t go too far!”

He was unable to control his anger for a moment and released his mental pressure as a third-class wizard apprentice. The air around him seemed to solidify, and an invisible pressure enveloped the entire room.

Matthews felt the strong pressure coming. He knew that in the wizarding world, everything still depended on strength, but he was still a weakling. He quickly explained, "Captain Joseph, don't get me wrong. I just envy you." He tried to make his voice sound sincere and harmless.

Seeing this, Joseph suppressed his anger and gathered his spiritual strength. "Humph, that's better."

However, Matthews' next words once again made Joseph feel helpless: "By the way, Captain Joseph, do you have any extra space pockets? A smaller one will do. I can buy it with magic stones." His tone revealed a kind of rogue confidence, as if Joseph would definitely agree to his request.

Joseph was surprisingly calm this time: "I'm sorry, I don't have any extra space pockets. If you want it, go to the magic shop and buy it." His tone was firm and decisive, leaving no room for Matthews to bargain.

He secretly sighed in his heart, Matthews was such a scoundrel, he actually wanted to extort the space pocket from him. However, he was also glad that he had made mental preparations in advance, otherwise he might really be defeated by Matthews' shameless behavior.

However, Matthews did not give up. He was a bastard who did not take advantage of the opportunity. In fact, it was mainly because he was too poor. But he was not a greedy person, and Joseph was not targeting him, so there was still a necessary bottom line.

He continued, "Captain Joseph, we are old acquaintances. You may not know me well enough. I am always sincere to my friends, but I will never show mercy to my enemies."

Although Joseph was not sure about Matthews's real purpose, he felt that he had not given up. He muttered to himself, this guy is simply crazy because of poverty.

In fact, Matthews was so poor that he wanted to split a magic stone into two halves to spend.

Joseph decided to change his strategy and stop tangling with Matthews: "I want to confirm the evidence you mentioned first."

Matthews carefully took out the precious phonograph box and gently pressed the play button. The box no longer played melodious music, but played their conversation that day, which was clearly audible.

Joseph's heart sank when he heard the contents of the phonograph box. He realized that he was too confident at the time and actually told the other party that the mastermind behind it was Lex, and even involved Lex's father, the wizard Simpson.

Cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead. This mistake was too fatal. He couldn't imagine that if this phonograph box fell into the hands of others, whether it was Simpson or Lex, they would not let him go easily.

Joseph stared at Matthews, feeling that he had been completely controlled by him. He had been in the wizarding world for so many years, but he actually forgot the vigilance and caution that a wizard should have at a critical moment. He was filled with regret and self-blame, but at the same time he also realized that the most important thing now was how to deal with the situation at hand.

When Joseph was thinking whether to take the phonograph box back by force, Matthews unexpectedly threw the phonograph box to him. This sudden move made Joseph stunned, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

He repeatedly squeezed the phonograph box in his hand to make sure it was not a dream. Matthews's move made him feel deeply confused and uneasy, and the other party's cunning and unpredictability made him feel frightened.

Matthews looked at Joseph's shocked expression and said in a relaxed tone: "Captain Joseph, I really want to be friends with you. Friends should be honest with each other, right?" His words revealed sincerity and friendliness.

Joseph felt that he might have been too suspicious before, and perhaps Matthews really just wanted to establish a friendly relationship with him. So, he put down his guard and put the phonograph box into his space pocket.

Then, Joseph took out another space pocket, removed the items inside, and handed it to Matthews.

Matthews took the magical item without hesitation and played with it excitedly. Although he knew nothing about how to use the space pocket, he was full of curiosity about this new thing.

Seeing that Matthews was so interested in the space pocket, Joseph no longer rejected communicating with him. He patiently explained to Matthews how to use the space pocket and personally demonstrated how to use mental power to wrap objects and put them in and out of the space pocket.

Matthews tried to use the space pocket according to Joseph's teachings, and he was able to put items in and out easily. He praised this magical item and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Joseph.

After this exchange, Joseph's view of Matthews changed greatly. He thought that although Matthews looked cunning and fickle on the surface, he might also have a sincere and friendly side deep in his heart.

Matthews was extremely amazed at the magical function of the space pocket, especially when he put the items in it and felt no weight at all, as if the items really disappeared. He couldn't help but wonder, how did this happen?

Joseph smiled and explained that this was because the space pocket was engraved with anti-gravity magic runes, which could effectively eliminate the weight of items and make carrying them extremely easy. In this way, you can carry a large amount of items anytime and anywhere without feeling cumbersome.

Not only that, Joseph also told Matthews that the space pocket also has anti-psychic detection runes, which can effectively prevent outsiders from remotely detecting the situation inside the pocket and protect the privacy and security of stored items.

Matthews was very grateful for Joseph's generous gifts and patient guidance, and he sincerely expressed his hope to become friends with Joseph.

However, Joseph did not immediately agree to Matthews' request. Although he thought it was better to be friends with Matthews than to be enemies, he was deterred by the fact that he had caused so much trouble.

After Joseph left, Matthews continued to indulge in exploring the mystery of the space pocket. He was surprised to find that the internal space of this pocket was an astonishing three cubic meters, enough to hold a large number of items. He repeatedly put the items in and out, and each time he felt extremely novel and excited.

For Matthews, the space pocket is not only a practical tool, but also a miracle that cannot be replicated by modern technology. It fully demonstrates the magic of the wizarding world and the true charm of magic.
