Hobart first realized that the mission to assassinate the Ambassador had to be completed. Otherwise, Klein might just end up dead.
Not only would this cost Hobart an ally with enormous influence in the future, but he would also lose the important channel that was the Tarot Club. This was an outcome Hobart did not want to see.
The next question was how to complete the mission. More than once, Hobart had imagined and simulated assassinating Baker Lang himself.
Without exception, the mission always ended in failure.
This was because many of his Mystical Items were no secret to the Nighthawks. If he wanted to use those Mystical Items, he had to ensure that the Nighthawks would not leak information related to him.
Given that Baker Lang truly was a scoundrel, there was a certain chance that the Nighthawks would not oppose such an operation. But with Thomas's motherly personality, she would definitely demand to know the source of the mission, as well as who had launched it and for what purpose.
That would only make things more complicated.
Since Hobart would have difficulty succeeding himself, he could only outsource the mission again.
To him, there were only two channels capable of completing this mission: the Mercenary Club and Christine.
There was no need to consider the Mercenary Club. With its Royal Family background, they would probably ask even more questions than the Nighthawks.
That left only Christine's channel.
Christine herself certainly would not accept this sort of mission, but Hobart immediately thought of Christine's personal male servant, Mr. Doffis.
Mr. Doffis was also a powerful Beyonder, perhaps Sequence 6, or even Sequence 5.
Come to think of it, this master-servant pair was rather strange. Hobart felt that Christine was at most Sequence 5, which matched his current military rank.
