Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

The "black cherry" that seems to be beating in Calvin's hand is the hope of the Balk family.

With it, the Balk family will have one less lunatic in the future.

There is a sealed object in the family that separates extraordinary characteristics, which is also the key to the continuation of the family to this day. As long as the extraordinary characteristics are recovered, the extraordinary characteristics will be separated again and used by future generations.

Generally speaking, extraordinary characteristics are given priority to immediate family members. For example, Elliot's extraordinary characteristics came from his father who passed away when he was seven years old.

Elliot's father was at Sequence 7 when he died, so Elliot could only get potions from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 for free. If he wanted to be promoted, he would have to find a way on his own.

Or waiting for extraordinary characteristics that no descendants will inherit, but Elliot has little hope for this because such a chance is too slim.

Elliot had already finished playing the role of a barbarian and digesting the potion.

With Calvin's help, he immediately takes the Briber's potion.

Hobert's ordering of Elliot still had a good effect. Elliot had no serious adverse reactions after taking the potion.

Elliot praised the "creator" in his heart. From then on, for six months, he no longer had to worry about crazy babble and loss of control.

After asking Calvin for advice on how the others could act as "bribes," Elliot said goodbye and left.

Watching Elliot leave, Calvin was a little distracted. He felt that Elliot seemed to be going too smoothly recently.

When Calvin was absent-minded, it was Harvey Hayden's turn, who had returned from completing the mission with Elliot, to give a routine report on the process of the mission.

However, after he saw Elliot walking away, he immediately reported: "Elder Calvin, I have something important to report. On the night that Elliot obtained the 'barbarian' extraordinary characteristic, his behavior was a little abnormal."

Calvin immediately paid attention: "Please tell me in detail!"

…

On Saturday morning, Hobert went to the club to trade the jewelry and gold he had seized from Hyman's hideout.

After inspecting the goods, the other party gave a price of 1,300 pounds. And the other party tried hard to persuade Hobert to accept the offer of 1,300 pounds, but he found the wrong opponent. After a period of friendly negotiations, the deal was finally concluded at 1,380 pounds.

The price of 1,500 pounds quoted by Hobert is indeed an exaggeration. The ideal price is between 1,350 pounds and 1,400 pounds.

If the other party hadn't been trying to reason with Hobert like an aggressive rooster, and Hobert could no longer restrain his desire to argue with others, maybe the deal would have been done for 1,350 pounds.

In addition to the jewelry and gold, more than 600 pounds of cash were also found, and Hobert and Hugh each received 316 pounds.

Including the transaction that just ended, Hobert's stolen money totaled 1,696 pounds.

Hobert originally wanted to use the extra 96 ​​pounds as his commission and give all the remaining money to Mr. Robin and his cousin.

However, the experience in his previous life told him that this was inappropriate and would make his labor and contribution very cheap. He might win the temporary gratitude of Mr. Robin, but he would not get the respect of others.

So Hobert first put 96 pounds of cash into his wallet, then divided the 1,600 pounds of cash into two, and then counted out his commission in front of Mr. Robin, which was also regarded as giving Mr. Robin a commission. lesson.

That afternoon, Mr. Robin and his cousin arrived as scheduled.

Hobert received them in a small reception room: "After some investigation, and of course using some special means, I finally found Mr. Zachary and Mr. Hyman."

Mr. Robin and his cousin had no hope at all, but after hearing such heavy news at the beginning of the conversation, they both stood up excitedly.

"After friendly 'negotiations' with them, I got back the money you were defrauded from." Hobert put the small suitcase on the table: "But you must know that this money was obtained using special means. Yes, so please keep quiet."

Mr. Robin stared at the box in Hobert's hand and nodded repeatedly. Finally, Hobert opened the box and they saw two piles of 5-pound and 10-pound banknotes.

Then there was the sound of counting money excitedly, and they counted it several times, from disbelief to excitement, to tears of joy.

After a while, Mr. Robin calmed down his emotions: "Mr. Lawyer, your professional ability exceeds our imagination."

Hobert smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliments. Now it's time to fulfill your promise."

Although Mr. Robin was a little reluctant, he still counted out 160 pounds and handed it to Hobert.

Although his cousin muttered: "Isn't the general lawyer's fee 15%?" However, he reluctantly counted 160 pounds.

Hobert took the money: "I hope you can remember this lesson. This city is more like a dark forest, full of traps set by hunters.

"Don't always think about becoming rich overnight. It's the easiest way to fall into traps if you have such thoughts."

He returned 80 pounds to Mr. Robin and his cousin: "This time I only charge 10% commission. If there is another time, I will charge a full 20% commission. Don't complain about the high commission then. Because you’re asking for it.”

Mr. Robin and his cousin were overjoyed and even felt at one point that they had gained 80 pounds.

Hobert lamented that Loen's culture was still not "broad and profound" enough. This was a very common trick in the AD era, and almost no one fell for it, but it worked surprisingly well in Loen.

In any case, Mr. Robin's case finally came to a successful conclusion.

In order to prevent any accidents, Hobert asked the groom from the law firm to drive Mr. Robin and his cousin to the bank in a carriage. Since this was not within the scope of the groom's job, Hobert readily gave 5 soles. "Field Subsidy".

Then he went to his rental house and put all his cash together.

Mr. Robin's commission for this case was 160 pounds, and the extra stolen money was 96 pounds. Adding to the 47 pounds 13 soles 8d he originally had, his cash now was 303 pounds 13 sores 8d.

In addition to the extraordinary characteristics of the "Secret Prayer" and the income from the "Mutant Eyeball", Hobert estimates that he can still get about 180, and his savings are nearly 500 pounds. Most middle-class families do not have such a lot of savings.

He suddenly had so much money in his hand, and it would be a lie to say he was unhappy. He went to the restaurant and ordered some distinctive Disi barbecue, and then went to the cake shop to buy a fruit cake and some desserts.

After returning home, Hobert told his family that he got a commission today, so he shared the delicious food with everyone.

Donna exclaimed, "Dinner has been a lot more interesting since Hobert started working."

Tai Lun ate the dessert and said, "And Hobert seems to be a lot more cheerful."

Hobert smiled and said: "That's because I have found my own value, and of course it will become different from before."

This was supposed to be an explanation for why he was becoming less and less like "Hobert". When he first traveled through time, he had to carefully play "Hobert" every day.

On Sunday, Hobert slept in. He didn't go out until after ten o'clock in the morning, preparing to sell the extraordinary properties of the "Secret Prayer".
