Hobert had already prepared the detailed information about Hillman that he had obtained from the Nighthawks team.
After giving the information to the waiter, Hobert went to look at other information on the information wall.
Among the publicly available information, Hobert found a very valuable piece of information.
He remembered that the first time he came to the mercenary club, he saw people forming teams to rob the Intis Republic of gold in its colonial plundered lands.
Now, the sequel to this operation has arrived. Although many people died, they were very successful.
However, even though they had exhausted all means, they could not take away all the gold there.
After the Intis reinforcements arrived in the colony, more than 100,000 pounds of gold were protected by them.
The Intis Republic knew that the location of their hidden gold had been exposed, and fearing that other forces would also covet it, they simply transported the batch of gold, along with a large amount of silver and gems, back to the Intis Republic.
The wealth that the team of mercenaries had seized was enough for them to live the life of a wealthy man for the rest of their lives, so they simply sent people to monitor when the Intis Republic's ship would set sail and which route it would take.
They published this information, hoping that their colleagues would also have a chance to make a fortune.
However, they also warned their colleagues not to take risks if they were not strong enough, because the escort for this batch of goods was a commodore of the Intis Republic, a very famous powerhouse in West Balam.
Hobert estimated that the information the other party wanted to reveal was: that he was a Sequence 5!
At the same time, he believed that the other party was likely to possess at least a Grade 2 Sealed Artifact.
This level of opponent was already difficult to deal with, and it would be even more difficult to deal with at sea.
First of all, you had to have a ship, experienced sailors, and enough strong people in the action team.
Hobert was about to look at the next piece of information when he suddenly thought that he could sell this news to "The Hanged Man"!
Of course, not to let "The Hanged Man" rob this batch of gold, which would be like asking him to die.
He could let "The Hanged Man" resell this news, with "The Hanged Man" earning an information fee, and Hobert earning an information intermediary fee.
So Hobert noted the details in this information before he started to look at the next piece of information.
Looking at each item one by one, the other information was not very important to Hobert.
Soon it was lunchtime, Hobert went to the restaurant for a meal, and met an acquaintance in the restaurant: the masked man who gave Xio the task.
It's just that he wasn't wearing a mask today. He was in his thirties, and his appearance looked very ordinary, the kind that would be difficult to find again if thrown into a crowd.
After Hobert accompanied Xio to meet the masked man at Mr. A's party, he specifically inquired about it. The masked man was called Byron, but no one knew which department Byron was an officer in.
They both came to participate in the party, and at the same time, they didn't know anyone else, so the two of them chatted idly.
After the party started, the two of them entered the underground theater together and sat together.
The party here was still the same as before. First, there was the team formation session. Someone recruited teammates to rob the Intis Republic's ship loaded with gold, someone recruited teammates to explore a newly discovered deserted island, someone recruited teammates to complete an assassination mission in the Feynapotter Kingdom, and someone recruited teammates to find the treasure of an ancient Beyonder family.
Although many people were recruiting teammates, there were no major operations during this period.
Then came the trading session, which started from the front row in order of selling or buying.
Because there were no major operations recently, there was nothing good to sell.
However, there were still Beyonder Characteristic transactions. Hobert, who had participated in other Beyonder gatherings, realized at this time that only the Mercenary Club openly bought and sold Beyonder characteristics.
In other gatherings, the transactions of Beyonder characteristics were generally carried out behind the scenes.
Hobert only thought of this question today, why is the transaction volume of Beyonder characteristics so large at the Mercenary Club's gatherings?
Just when it was almost Hobert's turn, he took out the wooden box containing the main material of "Prisoner" in advance. Before he could shout, Byron next to him asked, "Are you selling an Beyonder Characteristic again?"
Hobert nodded, anyway, he would have to shout it out in a while, there was nothing to hide.
The other party didn't ask what path the Beyonder Characteristic was from, and directly whispered, "I want it!"
Hobert was stunned before saying, "Prisoner."
"290 pounds!"
"I sold it for 300 pounds last time!"
"Then 300 pounds. After the party, we will trade in the lounge."
Hobert nodded and put the wooden box away again.
More than half an hour later, the party ended, and Hobert and Byron agreed to come to a small lounge.
After Byron inspected the goods, he paid the money very happily.
Hobert counted it again and confirmed that it was correct.
Byron smiled and said, "If you have any Beyonder characteristics to sell in the future, you can contact me directly, especially when you are in a hurry for money, you can cash it out without waiting for the party."
Hobert asked, "Don't ask about the origin of the Beyonder characteristics?"
"Don't ask."
"Do you accept Beyonder characteristics from any path?"
"I accept them all." Byron took out paper and pen and wrote an address: "If you have Beyonder characteristics to sell, send a letter to this address. The content of the letter is 'The goods have arrived'.
"After I receive the letter, I will come to the Mercenary Club for transaction at 9:00 to 10:00 the next morning. If I don't arrive at 10:00, it means there is something temporary, and the transaction will be carried out at the same time the next day."
Hobert put away the address and asked, "What do you do with these Beyonder characteristics after you collect them? Do you make them all into magical items?"
"Used to preserve value! Used to plunder the gold of the Southern Continent!" Byron smiled and said, "Beyonder characteristics are more valuable than gold. No matter whether the currency depreciates or not, it will not depreciate.
"At the same time, it also has strategic significance. For example, the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Prisoner' path, we will let the Rose School use a lot of gold every year to exchange for the Beyonder characteristics of related paths in our hands.
"Then we will continue to crack down on the Rose School, seize new Beyonder characteristics, and then let them exchange them with gold."
Hobert didn't expect this kind of operation: "What if they don't exchange?"
"Then increase the crackdown." Byron said: "Until the main material of 'Prisoner' soars, at this time, as long as we are a little cheaper than the market price, it will be snapped up by the local Beyonder people."
Hobert finally knew why some evil Beyonder organizations are always very poor. When it comes to playing with people, you still have to look at the gentlemen of the Loen Kingdom.
He asked again: "We also have to lose Beyonder people to crack down on the Rose School. How to make up for this loophole?"
"This is the benefit of official Beyonder people." Byron said: "Most of the time, we can calmly recover the Beyonder characteristics."
Hobert nodded, that is to say, he completely regarded the low-sequence military Beyonder people without backing and background as cannon fodder.
