Hobert's Plan

Chapter 90 Hobert's Plan

As Hobart had predicted, Utravsky agreed to Hobart's offer; for him, it was just a fight, worth 1000 to 2000 pounds, which was a good deal.

For Hobert, as long as the "Giant Bishop" can keep the opponent's Sequence 6s occupied, Hobert intends to leave at least one of the opponent's Sequence 7s behind.

Of course, if the plan goes smoothly, both Sequence 7s can stay.

Furthermore, it's wise to be lenient with the enemy; if they send two more Sequence 8s, then take them out as well.

The extraordinary characteristics of the four extraordinary individuals alone are worth four or five thousand pounds. If there are other spoils of war, the profit will be even greater. This battle is a sure win for Hobart.

Furthermore, Hobart will gain access to more information about the Tamara family, which is far more crucial to him than the spoils of war. In the future, the Tamara family is likely to be his primary enemy.

After agreeing on how to settle the debt, Hobart added, "Father, you need to give me the 'Pharmacist's' recipe first. I don't have enough money to buy that magical item, so I need to sell the 'Pharmacist's' recipe first, and then buy the magical item back."

"Okay." Utravsky took out paper and pen from his pocket and wrote down the potion recipe.

Hobert took it and glanced at it. The main ingredients were: the horn of an adult Pegasus and 3 grams of venom crystals from a crown jellyfish.

Additional ingredients: 10g dragon's blood grass powder, 3 drops of colchicine extract, 6 petals of blooming ground ivy, and 80ml of pure water.

Hobert put away the potion recipe and smiled, "I'll bring you the magical item tomorrow morning."

Utravsky grunted in response, then slowly lowered his head, preparing to continue his confession.

Hobert took a few steps outside, then suddenly turned back and asked, "Father, aren't you afraid that once I get the potion recipe, I'll never come back?"

Utravsky didn't even look up: "You're a person who knows how to exercise restraint; people like that usually understand the dangers of greed."

Hobert smiled and quickly left.

He simply increased the price of Nightmare Candles by 3.8 times, which, in all fairness, is quite reasonable.

Once back in the carriage, Hobert suddenly had a strange feeling that this Utravsky was very much like the high monk he remembered—not talkative, but very wise, especially with his unique insight into people.

After leaving the Harvest Church, Hobert traveled by carriage to the Viscount Grynt's mansion.

Grylint was somewhat surprised to see the "Apothecary's" potion recipe, because it meant that Hobert had reached a new deal with the bishop of the Harvest Church.

Grynt had his butler bring him £270 in cash: "Mr. Hobart, as previously agreed, you are to tell me the whole story of the transaction."

"Oh, should I invite Miss Audrey to come along? But it's already dark. How about we go visit Audrey together?"

Hobart smiled and said, "As you said, it's already quite late today. I'll tell Miss Audrey the story another time."

"Alright then, Audrey will definitely love this story."

Next, Hobart recounted the events in general terms. He did not explain the specifics of the Nightmare Candle or the price increase after he handled it, only saying that at a gathering of extraordinary beings, he helped Bishop Utravsky find a magical item he needed.

"I really wish I could see how to split and kill a person's personality," Grylint said with some regret, picking up the potion recipe. "Where can I buy these ingredients?"

Hopper said, "I can try to buy them for you. As far as I know, these auxiliary materials are easy to buy and not very expensive."

"The main ingredients aren't particularly scarce, but you often have to be lucky to buy them."

Greene nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you. Please buy all the materials for me as soon as possible. I can't wait to become a 'pharmacist'."

After finishing their business, Hobart casually recounted a few of the Viscount's favorite anecdotes from the extraordinary world before finally getting up to take his leave.

Watching Hobert's departing figure, Grelint's eyes deepened. He said to his personal servant outside the door, "Write a letter for me to Miss Hugh and Miss Fors, saying that I would like to obtain some information from them, and that I am willing to pay a fee if necessary."

The servant bowed slightly and went to help the viscount write a letter.

……

On Monday morning, Hobart first made an appearance at the law firm, and then went to "visit a client".

He first went to the Harvest Church and gave the Nightmare Candle to Bishop Utravsky.

Then he rushed to the Obsidian Bar in the North District to meet up with Daly.

Daly laughed and said, "I kind of regret recommending you as our informant. I've never seen a contact person as busy as me."

Hobart smiled. "Madam, I have something important to discuss with you, and you will personally benefit greatly from it."

"oh?"

"A... an extraordinary battle is about to take place in Backlund..." Hobart glanced at the now deserted bar and whispered.

"Extraordinary battles take place every day in Backlund."

"I planned this battle."

Dai Li also became interested: "Tell me more details."

"I have a friend... well, I know what you mean by that look, but he really is my friend," Hobert said. "I have a friend who is being hunted down by a family of extraordinary individuals, and I want to set up an ambush to kill them."

"I've already found a Sequence 6 helper, but to be on the safe side, I need another Sequence 6 helper, so I'd like to ask Ms. Daly for help. I'm asking for your help privately, not asking the Night Watch team for help."

Dai Li was taken aback: "So, you're not here to report to me? You're here to ask for my help?"

“That’s right,” Hobart said. “Even if the lady doesn’t intend to help, this battle will still happen, only it will take place somewhere the Night Watch squad doesn’t know about.”

Daly, her blue eyeshadow shimmering, looked at Hobert: "I feel like you're threatening me, that if I don't help, this will get out of the Night Watchers' control."

"Absolutely not, I'm just telling the truth," Hobart said. "I'm sincerely asking for your help. As long as you help, you'll have the right to share the spoils, but you'll have to choose your spoils after me."

"If you can kill an enemy of Sequence 7 or higher in combat, you can choose your loot before me. Well, your main enemy is most likely a Sequence 7."

Daly had no idea that Hobert, who had just become an informant for the Night Watchers, was already planning an extraordinary battle involving Sequence 6 and Sequence 7.

This made Hobart seem even more mysterious, suggesting he was more than just the eldest son of a brigadier general.

After weighing her options for a few seconds, Daly said, "I can agree to your request, but you have to tell me first how you found out the origin of 2-355."

Hobart had anticipated Daly's question and was prepared: "2-355 is related to a special sealed artifact or magical item from the 'Lawyer' pathway that I came into contact with. I used that sealed artifact to perform divination and discovered the origin of 2-355."

"I see!" Daly nodded: "They come to inform me of the time and location of the battle half a day before it begins, giving me time to prepare."

"No problem." Hobert breathed a sigh of relief. With two Sequence 6s in charge, there was little risk in this battle.
