First, Hobert realized that the mission to assassinate the ambassador had to be completed, otherwise Klein might just kick the bucket.
This would not only cause Hobert to lose a future ally with great power, but also lose the important channel of the Tarot Club, which Hobert was unwilling to see.
Next was how to complete this task. Hobert had imagined and deduced more than once that he would assassinate Bakerland himself.
Without exception, the missions would end in failure.
Because many of his mystical items were not secrets to the Nighthawks, if he wanted to use those mystical items, he had to make sure that the Nighthawks would not leak his relevant information.
Given that Bakerland was indeed a villain, there was a certain probability that the Nighthawks would not object to such an action, but according to Thomas's motherly personality, he would definitely ask clearly the source of this task, and who initiated the task to achieve what goal.
This would make things more complicated.
Since it was difficult for Hobert to succeed on his own, he had to entrust this task again.
For him, there were only two channels that could complete this task, one was the Mercenary Club, and the other was Christian.
There was no need to think about the Mercenary Club channel, because it had a royal background, and it was estimated that they would ask even more clearly than the Nighthawks.
Then there was only Christian's channel.
Christian herself would definitely not accept such a task, but Hobert immediately thought of Christian's personal male servant, Mr. Dophis.
Mr. Dophis was also a powerful Beyonder, possibly Sequence 6, or even Sequence 5.
Speaking of which, this master and servant were quite strange. Hobert felt that Christian was at most Sequence 5, which was in line with his current military rank. If he was a demigod, even if he was not reused, he would at least have the military rank and treatment of a lieutenant commander or general.
And Dophis, such a strong person, was willing to pretend to be Christian's male servant, which was a bit strange. You know, if he was really a Sequence 5, he would have the strength to establish his own Beyonder organization.
Although it could be seen that Christian did not treat Dophis as a servant, but that was after all a Sequence 5 powerhouse, theoretically even difficult to accept the attire of a male servant!
Hobert did not continue to think deeply, but said to Audrey: "I have a channel to complete this task."
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, Mr. Hobert was as reliable as ever.
"But I have to ask that gentleman first, to see if he is willing to take this task," Hobert added.
"No problem," Audrey said, "Will it take a long time? If it doesn't take too long, I can continue to wait here."
"You go back first," Hobert said, "I don't know exactly how long it will take. After I have a definite answer, I will see you under the pretext of reporting the commission situation to you."
Audrey nodded: "Okay, but if it's too late..."
"Then I'll tell you tomorrow morning."
"No, I will let Susie, um, that golden retriever outside, I will let it walk outside from nine to ten o'clock. If you meet Susie at Earl Hall's mansion, you can write down the result and put it in the bag on its back."
Hobert nodded: "No problem."
He was about to get up when he suddenly remembered: "How much reward are you planning to pay for this task?"
Audrey said: "My budget is 5,000 pounds."
"Too little," Hobert laughed: "In my opinion, this task requires at least 10,000 pounds."
Xio and Fors took a deep breath unconvincingly, and even Viscount Glaint, who had inherited the family property, was a little surprised.
Audrey quickly made a decision: "Okay!"
The three people as the audience all sighed: Just agreed like this...
Hobert immediately got up: "I'll go ask that powerhouse's intention."
He put on his windbreaker, took his cane at the door, and when he came to the yard, he saw Susie jumping happily in the garden.
Hobert smiled, quickly went out to take a carriage, and came to Christian's workplace: the General Staff Headquarters of the Kingdom of Loon.
After being notified, Hobert entered a yard with a dark-colored office building. Whether it was the courtyard wall, the sentry post, or the building, they all gave people a very solid and difficult-to-surpass feeling.
Coming to Christian's office, Hobert explained his intention: "I want to entrust Mr. Dophis with a somewhat difficult task."
"Dophis is not here," Christian said, "He is in the suburbs, you can go directly to him to talk."
Hobert immediately understood that Dophis was still at the excavation site of Jacob's team.
Speaking of which, Hobert had been so busy during this period that he had not had time to show his face, so he might as well go and see how the excavation progress was going.
After saying goodbye to Christian, Hobert rented a taxi carriage outside and went straight to the suburbs.
It was not until dusk that Hobert, who had been in the carriage for more than two hours, arrived at the excavation site of Jacob's team.
After Jacob heard the report from his subordinates, he quickly greeted him personally: "Mr. Hobert, the lawsuit you won for Darren's friend was really wonderful."
"I also knew from that time that driving a steamship while drunk is not drunk driving."
Hobert was stunned, and immediately understood that Jacob had not read the newspaper for a long time, otherwise he would definitely compliment his performance in the "Work Injury Compensation Case".
After chatting for a few words, Jacob said again: "I was about to send you a letter. We will carry out the final excavation this Friday or Saturday. Please come and experience it then."
Hobert smiled. This was a polite remark. The implication was: You have to show your face, otherwise how can you participate in the bonus distribution then?
He laughed: "I have been quite busy recently and have not had time to come over."
"Well, you can see what I'm busy with by reading the newspaper."
He promised: "I will definitely be at the scene during the final excavation."
Then Hobert said the purpose of his trip: "I'm here to find Mr. Dophis, where is he?"
"Mr. Dophis is resting," Jacob said, "His tent is over here, please come with me."
Arriving at Dophis's tent, Jacob left very knowingly.
Dophis was still the same, looking pale, with a cold expression, and taciturn.
Hobert went straight to the point: "Mr. Dophis, I have a secret matter to discuss, should we go outside the camp?"
"No need," Dophis's pupils suddenly became deep, and he made a gesture of opening a door at the position of his chest. The tent suddenly became cold.
Hobert felt the spiritual fluctuations around him. He opened his spiritual vision and saw a phantom door on Dophis's body.
A spirit that looked like a blown-up balloon came out of the door and quickly became as big as a normal person, slowly floating to the top of the tent.
"Okay," Dophis said, "No one will hear our conversation."
