Chapter 161: The Induction Ceremony for New Members
Beckland West End, in the living room of Arnold's home.
There are more than a dozen people sitting or standing, smoking or smoking cigars in the spacious living room.
Last night, they had gathered to await news of Hobart's arrest, but the situation was far beyond their expectations, and the body was not found at Hobart's house.
Are those two "corpses" that Arnold hired for 600 pounds? And how did Arnold's subordinates disappear into thin air when they saw them break into Hobert's house?
While Arnold and the others were not reacting, Hobart took refuge in a security company, which had no name, and they were about to break in, but were stopped by Mr. Kenneth, who arrived.
When the sun rose, everyone was tired and sleepy, and there was no better way to do it.
At this time, Arnold's subordinates reported that Hobert had gone to the mansion of Viscount Gleilint.
Gusta said a little unhappily: "Arnold, why didn't you tell us earlier, Hobert still knows some nobles!" ”
In today's Kingdom of Rune, the most powerful people are still nobles.
Arnold's cold sweat was about to break out: "President, I really don't know this!" ”
A friend of Arnold helped him argue: "President, now this Viscount Gleilint just inherited the title last year, but because his father died suddenly, he did not fully inherit the connections of the old Viscount Gleilint, and he has not been sent seriously, so he can only be regarded as a down-and-out nobleman." ”
Today's aristocracy is divided into two kinds, one is the powerful aristocracy and the other is the down-and-out aristocracy.
The former is the object of the stammering of all of you, while the latter is not so unattainable for this group of businessmen.
Gusta glanced at the two people who had just spoken: "Don't you think that we are not going well in dealing with Hobart?" ”
Originally, they wanted to use threats and their wealth to scare away Hobert, but Hobart was not intimidated at all, and in turn taught them a lesson.
Then they were ready to play Yin, but they failed again, and neither Hobart nor Bob was harmed.
Arnold asked with some reluctance, "Mr. Kenneth?" Can't we really break into Blackthorn Security and take Hobart away? ”
Kenneth, who was in his thirties and had a long face, had to explain a little more clearly: "Let me tell you this, our breaking into the Black Thorn Security Company to arrest people is equivalent to breaking into the Church of the Goddess of the Night to arrest a clergyman. ”
Arnold understood: "It turns out that this security company is the property of the Church of the Night Goddess!" ”
Kenneth didn't bother to explain to them any longer, "Anyway, if you go to the Black Thorn Security Company to arrest someone, Lord Duke will not continue to give you any convenience in this matter. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and then they understood the seriousness of this matter.
Then they began to scold Hobart for being cunning and finding a place to hide.
Kenneth said: "There is no need to use these shady tricks anymore, since we have hired Hugo's barrister, I think even if you defend Hobart openly in the courtroom, will a barrister still lose to a little lawyer who is not famous?" ”BIquGe.biz
The people around him immediately began to flatter: "Mr. Kenneth is right, even if he knows the Viscount, he is just a little lawyer. ”
"Mr. Kenneth's reminder made us realize our own stupidity, why did we go to so much trouble to deal with that little lawyer outside of the courtroom when we could have won in court?"
“……”
Arnold didn't speak, he was a person who had seen Hobert's defense process, he was brave and strategic, and he really didn't know whether he could win the case.
……
Carl Vincent shook Hobert's hand politely, and praised Foirth for his beauty, and for the "teenage" Hugh for being able to join such occult gatherings.
Hugh smiled helplessly, and because he was not familiar, he did not explain.
Furth struggled to hold back a laugh, and Hobert glanced at Glerint, as if to say, "You're too direct, aren't you?"
Previously, during a mercenary mission that Hobert accidentally received, he stumbled upon the ring that Glelint was looking for, which was with Count Vincent.
At the last "Justice League" meeting, Viscount Glerint did not issue a mission to steal the ruby ring, which shows that he did not want to announce this mission at the party, and the other side that he has been hiding.
Glerint smiled slightly, and said in a pun, "My father and Count Vincent are good friends, and of course our generation is also good friends. ”
Hobert nodded, and turned to Carl, "Are you sure you want to join the 'Justice League'?" Before you make a final decision, I warn you that if you leak the secrets of the Justice League, you will be punished immediately. If you ever quit, we'll erase all memories of the Justice League. ”
Karl said, "I'm sure I'm joining the Justice League. ”
Hobert, who received a clear answer, said to Glerint, "Help me prepare a room that will not be disturbed." ”
Gleilint led them to a small reception room next to the study, and after Hobert had Glelynt leave, he drew occult symbols on the table in the reception room and lit candles.
After Hobert's whispering of a "spell", he said to Karl in a solemn voice, "Come to the altar." ”
Carl was completely intimidated by Hobert's maneuver, which shows that he did not have much occult knowledge.
A few days before Carl arrived, Hobert said, "Empty your spirit!" ”
As he spoke, he poured "Amanda" hydrosol into the candle, and under the effect of the drug, Carl immediately felt drowsy.
At this time, Hobert used the ability of the "mental spoon": "In the years to come, if you plan to leak any information about the 'Justice League', you will cry and slap yourself until you have no intention of doing so."
"If you have to say it under the interference of external forces, you will only tell your dirtiest memories that you don't want to show, and at the same time you will forget everything about the 'Justice League'."
With the aid of "Amanda" hydrosol, this psychological suggestion works very well, and unless it is a demigod who encounters the "audience" path, it will be difficult to get information about the "Justice League".
Hobert first "distorted" the negative effects of the "mental spoon", and then patted Carl on the shoulder: "Wake up! ”
Carl shuddered as if he had suddenly come back to his senses: "It's over?" ”
"It's over." "Remember, if you plan to leak secrets, you will be punished immediately," Hobart advised. ”
Carl nodded repeatedly, already putting away his previous contempt.
After going out, Glerint, who was waiting outside, asked Carl, "How do you feel now?" ”
"Not much." Karl said: "But the ritual just now is very magical, I seem to have flown into the sky and seen one island after another made of clouds.
"You're right, Mr. Hobert is a master of the occult!"
Hobert, who was following behind, smiled and shook his head, what Carl saw might be his own mental island.
