After finishing the serious business, Hobert and Klein bid farewell to each other like other gentlemen.
Continuing the tour, Hobert passed by the living area when leaving, and a woman with long chestnut hair and a perfect figure attracted Hobert's attention.
Her eyebrows were very distinctive, always stretched to the end, adding some majesty to her temperament, making her look very capable, like a leader of a large department.
In addition to her beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament, it was also because her clothes were out of tune with the surroundings. She was wearing beige trousers that were easy to move around in, and a pair of long black leather boots, with a light brown knee-length skirt on her upper body, which was very different from the conservative dressing style of the Kingdom of Loen.
Even Xio sighed that such a combination of trousers and boots should be very convenient to move around in.
In Backlund, women with middle and upper incomes basically wear various skirts, and the only relatively lightweight clothing is the knight's uniform that Xio wears.
Hobert remembered that Xio had many similar knight's uniforms, not because she liked them so much, but because only this kind of clothing was convenient to move around in Backlund.
Ladies think that trousers are not ladylike enough, so there is no market for ladies' trousers in the entire Loen.
The woman with outstanding temperament and dress seemed to feel the gazes of Hobert and others.
She only glanced at Hobert and others with her peripheral vision, and then continued to look at the building blocks in the living area.
After leaving the exhibition hall, Hobert belatedly realized that it wouldn't be "Huang Beibei", would it?
It's not that Hobert was slow to react, but in his concept, Bernadette was the daughter of "Huang Tao", and her "Uncle Zhou" looked only twenty-four or five years old even with a beard.
So in Hobert's subconscious, Bernadette should be about the same age as Donna, or even younger than Donna.
After all, Hobert is also an "uncle", he is only 23 years old this year. When he thinks of Bernadette, he always feels that she is only about twenty years old.
When he saw the twenty-seven or eight-year-old lady in the living area with a mature temperament, he didn't think of Bernadette at all.
But thinking back, chestnut hair, a perfect figure, and avant-garde and unique dress, who else could it be but Bernadette?
"Hobert, we're leaving first!" Xio, who stepped onto the public carriage, said to Hobert, who was obviously a little dazed.
Hobert came back to his senses: "See you tonight, oh, no, I have a social engagement tonight, no need to prepare my dinner. See you tomorrow!"
Watching the public carriage leave, Hobert shook his head with a smile.
Even if he recognizes Bernadette, going up to strike up a conversation now is likely to be beaten up as a rogue.
Bernadette definitely has such strength.
Hobert thought, even if he racked his brains to successfully strike up a conversation with Bernadette, it is impossible to borrow the "Genie" immediately.
[T/N: Genie recognizes his own Sefirah, bad idea]
Let's wait for a chance in the future to have a more natural interaction with her, Hobert thought: lest Bernadette have a bad impression of him, which will affect the process of borrowing the "Genie" later.
After watching a commemorative exhibition at noon, Hobert returned to the law firm to continue working in the afternoon.
At three or four o'clock, Hobert received a reply from Elizabeth, saying that she and Selena, as well as Melissa and Benson, would come to Backlund together this weekend.
The letter did not mention other content, so Hobert unfolded the letter paper and wrote a short reply. It roughly said that he knew, and asked Elizabeth to send him a telegram after purchasing the tickets, so that he could go to the station to pick them up.
After get off work, Hobert took a carriage with Jessica to her and Carrie's residence.
Carrie was packing her things in the studio. Jessica went to the restaurant to buy three simple meals. After the three finished eating, they found a taxi carriage to go to the suburbs.
While still on the road, it was already dark. When they arrived at the agreed abandoned workshop, a layer of thin mist had already appeared in the cold air of early winter.
The other party had already arrived first. As Carrie described, there were four of them, and they were all Beyonders.
The four people's eyes almost all looked at Hobert at the same time. Obviously, they did not expect Carrie to bring other people.
The workshop was very empty, with some waste piled in the corners. There was only a table in the middle and an oil lamp. The four of them were already sitting on the inner side.
Jessica, who was walking at the end, closed the door smoothly. Hobert and the other two sat on the side near the door. Hobert deliberately sat on the left, giving the middle position to Carrie.
"I didn't expect you to bring other people. This is against the rules," the other party's leader, John, said.
On the carriage, Carrie introduced Hobert. The other party's leader was called John, Sequence 7 was called Alex, and Carrie didn't know what the two Sequence 8s were called.
As for names like John and Alex, they sound like fake names.
"You have four people, and we only have two," Jessica explained for Carrie: "With one more person, we can feel more at ease."
"Okay." John, who was in his forties and tall and strong, said with a fake smile: "I hope this friend can keep it a secret."
Only dead people can truly keep secrets. No, in the mystical world, dead people may not be able to keep secrets. You have to remember to dispose of the corpse.
John had already made up his mind that no matter whether Carrie was willing or not, he would turn her into a member of the organization today.
And Carrie came to refuse to join their organization, so the conversation stalled from the beginning.
John quickly lost his patience. He sneered at Carrie and said, "You don't think that you have the confidence to refuse us just because you found a gigolo, do you?"
Hobert finally opened his mouth and said, "Theoretically speaking, yes."
John shook his head with a smile: "Okay, okay, say whatever you want."
He no longer concealed it: "Today Carrie must join us. As for you two, you can also join us. If you don't join, hehe~"
John had already done his research. Although Carrie has Sequence 6, she is not good at fighting, and Jessica only has Sequence 9.
As for the helpers they found, they are likely to be Sequence 7, at most Sequence 6.
Among the wild Beyonders, Sequence 6 helpers are hard to find. Of course, "Artisans" are an exception. After all, when they encounter difficulties, everyone wants to help, and with friendship, it will be easier to entrust "Artisan" to build weapons for themselves in the future.
But even if this helper is Sequence 6, John is not afraid. They have four people and are experienced in combat.
Even if they are not sure of killing this helper, they are fully confident of defeating or driving the opponent away. By the time this helper finds more helpers, they will have already taken Carrie away from Backlund.
Hobert asked, "Is there no room for negotiation?"
"No!" John said decisively.
Hobert smiled and said, "That's easy. It just so happens that I'm short of money recently. You've come to my door. I want to thank you!"
Before John had time to say anything, he heard the "Provoker" among the two Sequence 8s say to the other Sequence 8, "Mary was blind to fall in love with a fool like you. I'm going to rescue her from your hands!"
The other Sequence 8 also refused to be outdone and said, "I've wanted to dig out your eyes for a long time. Did you think I didn't notice your disgusting eyes when you faced Mary?"
For half a second, John wanted to reprimand his two subordinates, not to see what time it was, wouldn't you be afraid of being ashamed of your little things?
But then he reacted, quickly jumped away from the table, this "gigolo's" offensive had already begun!
