Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 816: Chapter 541, Investigation Team_2

“`

Which major power doesn’t have its share of goods?

When Gray Iron City was taken, many dwarf nobles found various ways to flee, with half the ministers gone.

Fang Hao once again edited the message and sent it over, “Do you know the number of people, and when will they set off?”

But such props or teleportation screens have their requirements.

The number won’t be too many.

“The number isn’t certain, but it won’t exceed ten people. They are likely to head directly to Pruell City tomorrow and then to Lyss City.”

“Good, I understand.”

After a while, Li Rong replied, “If you get the chance, kill him for my revenge.”

“OK!”

Ending the chat, Fang Hao turned his attention back to his map.

The reconnaissance team from Silver Wing City would arrive at Pruell City tomorrow; he had to be prepared.

To dispose of this team?

This was indeed a solution to the problem, but afterward, Silver Wing City would pay even more attention here.

They might even directly station troops in Lyss and Pruell Cities.

By then, if he wanted to solidify his control over the city, he would have to go to war with the human Federation.

This contradicted his plan.

If he did nothing, then it was very likely that they would discover the issues here.

The problem with Lyss City was the Temple’s statue of the God of Light.

Yes, there was also the Wandering Spirit Hero – Little You, who remained in Lyss City.

Even though Little You moved mysteriously and was not easily detected, there was still some risk involved.

Who knew what special abilities the Church had, whether they could sense the presence of the Undead or not.

It would be best to bring her back.

As for Pruell City, it was even simpler; there were no Undead or Wandering Spirit Hero.

The main issue was the large-scale presence of the Undead north of Pruell City.

He couldn’t let the team from Silver Wing City come and gather intelligence here.

The fortress in between could serve as a good barrier, simply preventing this team from getting through.

…

Sitting beside the furnace, Fang Hao stared at the map for a long while.

He thought through every potential problem area in detail.

The first step was to bring back Little You. If she was discovered by Silver Wing City’s investigation team, it would be hard to explain.

Having made up his mind, he called for Demitrija.

Then he activated the teleportation screen and the two stepped through.

When he opened his eyes again, they were already in the grand hall of Lyss City Lord’s mansion.

It was the familiar red carpet, blue Federation flag.

Nothing had changed, yet it was still clean and tidy.

At that moment, a maid happened to pass by.

Fang Hao recognized the maid; she was the one tricked by ‘Groot’ into going to Silver Wing City, named Stacey.

Back then, Fang Hao didn’t kill her but left her for Rebecca to deal with.

Later on, Fang Hao learned that Rebecca whipped the maid several times, which was a common method used by nobility to punish servants.

After the punishment, Rebecca still kept her at the Lord’s mansion, though her position had become more peripheral.

She was assigned tasks such as cleaning.

Seeing Fang Hao, Stacey was clearly flustered and promptly curtsied, “Lord City Lord.”

“Hmm, where’s Rebecca?” Fang Hao asked.

“Madam is in the study,” Stacey said softly.

“Hmm, carry on,” Fang Hao said and took a couple of steps forward, then stopped and asked in a lower voice, “Is Rolana here?”

Stacey answered, “Miss Rolana left half a month ago.”

“Oh, good, go about your business!” With that, he continued upstairs.

…

As he ascended the stairs and arrived at the study’s entrance.

He could hear Rebecca’s voice inside.

It sounded like she was delegating work arrangements for the city.

Her tone revealed a decisive and domineering authority.

Fang Hao waited at the door for a while, and when the room opened, several ministers, who had been reprimanded to the point of sweating profusely, emerged.

He entered the room, then closed the door behind him.

Rebecca was looking down and writing something, not noticing someone had come in through the open door.

“`

Rebecca today had her long hair tied up, wearing a white long gown underneath and a blue cotton velvet robe on the outside.

She presented the image of a noblewoman.

Only when she caught a glimpse of a figure approaching from the corner of her eye did she startle and suddenly lift her head.

Seeing that it was Fang Hao, her eyes clearly revealed a hint of surprise and delight.

Then she put on a stern face and said indifferently, “You’ve arrived.”

In the room, just the two of them, Fang Hao had no need for inhibitions and stepped forward to directly embrace her.

He sat down on a chair and had her sit on his lap.

On his thighs, he felt a layer of soft and elastic touch.

“I missed you, so I came to see you.”

Rebecca, suddenly lifted into the air, let out a yelp, but at the man’s affectionate words, her heart filled with sweetness.

Keeping a stern face, she pretended to be a bit angry, lightly smacking his arm, “Stop it, I still have some things to write.”

It had been some time since Fang Hao had seen her and he missed her too.

Seeing her serious expression, he didn’t dare to be too playful and smiled, “You keep busy, and I’ll tell you when you’re done.”

Rebecca pursed her lips and continued to sit on his lap, returning to her writing on the desk.

But as she wrote, she suddenly felt a coolness against her chest.

A large hand had already made its way inside.

Rebecca’s hand hesitated with the pen, and her body began to squirm restlessly.

After finishing the several documents on the desk.

Rebecca finally looked up again, her gaze landing on her lover whom she had not seen for a long time.

Catching his wayward hand, she chided him, “What are you doing, you can’t behave the moment you arrive.”

“I’ve missed you terribly.”

“Yeah, right! As if I’d believe that,” Rebecca held firmly onto his hand and continued, “Olivia sent me a message last night, Silver Wing City has dispatched an investigation team here.”

Fang Hao was taken aback.

Rebecca was also aware of this matter.

This woman indeed had a well-informed network.

“Your bestie really treats you too well, telling you even this kind of thing,” Fang Hao said, surprised.

Rebecca pursed her lips, “She is my best friend, and besides, she knows that if I were to lose Lyss City, the outcome wouldn’t be good for me, so she tries to help me as much as she can.”

Fang Hao nodded, not dwelling on the topic further, but instead asked, “Is everything in Lyss City arranged properly? Don’t let those guys find any excuses.”

“Understood, I’ve already started making arrangements,” Rebecca said, flipping her hair, “I’ve seen this sort of thing a lot, nothing will go wrong.”

“Yeah, you’re really amazing,” Fang Hao said, taking the opportunity to wriggle around in front of her chest.

It seemed that Olivia only told Rebecca about the investigation team coming to Lyss City.

She didn’t mention anything about the Undead north of Pruell City.

Otherwise, Rebecca would have warned him too.

Fang Hao didn’t plan to tell her either, as she couldn’t help much in this matter.

Telling her might reveal some slip-ups.

So Rebecca handling her own affairs was fine, and he would arrange the matters regarding the Undead.

“By the way, I’m going to take Little You away later, to prevent him from being discovered by the church’s people,” Fang Hao said, lifting his head from the soft fragrance.

“Okay, take him,” Rebecca, her cheeks flushed and eyes increasingly captivating, said, “With the investigation team coming, you, the City Lord, should stay here too, right? I don’t want to find you missing when the time comes.”

Oh…

Right, he was the City Lord of Lyss City, having sworn oath in front of the council.

“Of course, that would be great, I’d love to stay here every day,” Fang Hao replied.

“You’re sick!”

Fang Hao smiled and began to move his hands up and down, becoming mischievous.

…

The two didn’t linger long in their intimacy.

A maid’s voice announcing her presence soon came from outside the door.

Rebecca quickly adjusted her clothing, casting an angry glare at the man who was still misbehaving.

Opening the door again, they both walked out together.

Meanwhile, several guards emerged from a neighboring room, saluting Fang Hao before falling in behind Rebecca.

These men were personal guards recruited by Rebecca after returning from Silver Wing City.

Among them, Fang Hao was quite familiar with one.

The leader of the Flame Mercenary Group, Angus.

A female leader with a strong and straightforward personality, now recruited by Rebecca as one of her trusted aides.

The two in the front walked, with a group of trusted aides following behind.

As they walked, Rebecca said softly, “I’ve arranged corresponding jobs for the residents in the city, and the supplies you sent have also been distributed. This winter is better than previous ones, with no homeless outside the city and no frozen corpses to be seen.”
