Chapter 39: Forth's Conjecture
Hobert's intimidation is perfect for a villain like Duckholm.
Ordinary intimidation would not have taken Darkholm to heart, and by the time he saw Zachary and his letter, his psychological defenses had already collapsed.
And through the information he collected, he vaguely knew the existence of the extraordinary world, heard Hobert's words, and then looked at the potions that Hobart took out, although he didn't know what they were, but with the spirituality of ordinary people, he also felt that the things contained in these vials seemed to be not simple.
So the small remaining half of Duckholm's psychological defense line also collapsed: "I, I know so much, I still know, I also know that Mr. seems to have many magical abilities!"
"He, he inadvertently revealed, seems to have a relationship with a farmer named Hillman in the southern suburbs!
He also said that he found a clue to a treasure at 37 Minsk Street!
"That's all, that's really it!"
Hobert nodded in satisfaction: "That's right!" β
He put away the potion and powder: "If someone claiming to be's companion contacts you, say that we have tortured you many times, and your leg injury is proof.
"We don't need you to send us a letter, we just need to know when we come to the Cuckoo Bar and you say, 'Your order has arrived.'"
Hobert and Hugh got up together, and Darkholm hurriedly asked, "And then?" β
And then I didn't think about it either! But Hobert said, "That's not what you should ask." β
He seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, where did you learn to read and write words and grammar?" β
"I went to grammar school when I was younger." Darkholm smiled wryly, "Later, my father failed in business, and we had to move to the East End.
"Sir, I'll tell you the truth, I never dreamed of going back to the south of the bridge, my former home.
"But when I went back and looked, there were already other families living there, and it was no longer the home I remembered."
Another "failure in business", small businessmen in these years are too easy to go bankrupt.
Hobert looked at the dΓ©cor of the house, and it was no wonder that Duckholm's residence was so out of place in the East End. Then he lamented's meticulous layout, and the former middle class like Darkholm would be more eager to live or return to the middle class than the people of the East End.
Only a strong desire can be better manipulated and used by Heyman.
Hobert took a deep breath and said what he had said to Vir as he walked out: "Do less conscience-destroying things, and you may live a few more years." β
"Thank you for the reminder, sir."
With Darkholm's thanks, Hobert and Hugh came out into the street.
Hugh whispered to Hobert, "I remember you said yesterday that in the process of channeling Zachry, mentioned Bishop Hillman, could he be ......?" β
Hobert whispered, "It's unlikely that inadvertently revealed such important information, he should have his purpose in doing this, let's not be used by him!"
"In addition, Hillman is very likely to be related to the Aurora Society, for the safety of you and me, we will find this case here!"
Hugh thought the same thing, and she let out a long sigh of relief: "This is the most tortuous and dangerous commission I have ever experienced. β
If it weren't for Hobart, she might still be hanging around Darkholm right now, and she wouldn't have been able to find or Zachary.
Hobert smiled, "But the pay is also quite good. β
Although the entrustment of the transcendent world comes quickly, it is also very dangerous, so it is better to deal with such a commission less for the time being.
Hobart added, "Are you going to Mr. A's party today?" β
"Yes, yesterday I talked to ...... Yesterday I thought for a long time, although Mr. A is dangerous, but this party should be safe. Hugh said, "So we're going to go back to this meeting." β
Hobert continued, "Can you take me with you?" β
Hugh was slightly stunned: "You, don't you have a reliable party?" β
Hobert smiled: "Of course, the more you participate in such a party, the better. β
Hugh nodded, "Yes, when we've had lunch, we'll go 'meet' with my friends." β
Of course, she knew in her heart that Hobert's contribution in this cooperation was greater than her contribution, and it would not be fair to Hobart if the spoils were divided equally.
Bringing Hobart to Mr. A's party is also tantamount to returning the favor.
Without the tension of yesterday, Hobert and Hugh chatted casually, but they tacitly and carefully did not disclose their specific information.
The two of them chatted happily, but Furth, who was following behind, had the urge to bite his nails.
She needed to keep her mind on her feet, and she had to be on the lookout for Hobart to strike suddenly.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen, and Hobart did not seem to have any malicious intent.
But this is strange, why did he have no malice?
Furth, who watched the two people chatting, realized, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be this kid who took a fancy to Xiu!
Although Hugh is not tall, her face is very beautiful, and there is a rare sense of immaturity, which is very much in line with the needs of some perverted aristocrats.
No, no, if you have a chance, you must remind Hugh not to be fooled, a boy like Hobert likes to deceive the feelings of ignorant girls the most.
Hugh took advantage of Hobert's lack of attention and left a message for his friend, explaining that Hobert was also attending the afternoon party.
Furth covered his forehead, it's over, Hugh may have fallen.
However, she still carried the small box to the mansion of Viscount Gleilint to meet Hugh according to the previous agreement.
1,600 pounds, the greatest fortune she and Hugh had ever seen, certainly not out of her sight.
The two cabs stopped at the door of the Viscount's mansion almost in no particular order, and Hugh, the short one, introduced between the two men: "This is my good friend Fals. Forthth, this is the Hobart I mentioned to you. β
Furth said coldly, "Mr. Hobert, it's a pleasure to meet you. β
Hobert was slightly stunned: "Miss Furth, looking at your appearance, it seems that it is a pleasure for you to know me. β
Is this Miss "The Magician"? He looked like he was about 1.6 meters long, wearing a long skirt with a stand-up collar, his brown curls were a little messy over his shoulders, and his light blue eyes were full of tiredness.
Hobert said pointedly, "Miss Forthth, you don't seem to be in very good shape. β
Furth said impatiently, "It's not because of ......"
She took a deep breath before she said coldly, "I'm sorry, I'm going to talk to Hugh alone." β
Without waiting for Hobart to answer, she pulled Hugh and left.
Hobart became more and more confused, watching the two ladies muttering something in a low voice not far away, and looking at him from time to time.
"Definitely speaking ill of me." Hobart muttered quietly.
At that moment, Hugh was heard crying out, "Oh, Folth, do you have a curly-haired baboon in your head?" β
