Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 370: Chapter 362, Two People Who Get Along_l

After the introduction, Rolana also sat down nearby.

“I’ve been here a few times before, but there have been quite a lot of changes this time round,” begun Rolana.

“Indeed, there have been significant changes compared to a few years ago.”

“I remember there was a beautiful opera house to the west of the city, but it’s no longer there.”

“Oh, the opera house simply moved and was expanded; its environment is now much better than before.”

II II

The auction ended.

People gradually left the City Lord’s Mansion.

Some men and women who had gotten along well at the ball got into the same carriage together.

Others sought out a nearby secluded corner to continue their conversations.

Eric glanced over, a cold smirk on his face.

She can’t hold a candle to Miss Rolana, he thought of the heavily-made up ladies.

Only fools like you would tug these women into the corners.

With that in mind, he headed for the carriage himself.

But just as he neared the carriage, he was stopped by a group of men.

Eric’s face darkened in an instant, “This is the City Lord’s Mansion, what are you trying to do here?”

Seeing Eric’s anxious look, the men burst into laughter.

They said, “Fatty, our boss Lei Li wants to see you; come with us.”

Lei Li?

A cold sweat broke out on Eric’s face, being targeted by Lei Li was even worse than being robbed.

But he had no choice but to follow them to meet Lei Li.

Thankfully, he was in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Many people saw him being led away by Lei Li’s men, so Lei Li shouldn’t dare to actually harm him.

Comforting himself with this thought, the group approached a nicely designed carriage.

“Boss, we’ve brought Eric.”

“Let him ini!”

The carriage door was opened, and Eric stepped inside.

Inside the spacious carriage, Lei Li and the beautiful Deborah were seated on one side.

Lai Gou, Lei Li’s right-hand man, was seated on the other.

As Eric entered the carriage, he felt a wave of pressure wrapping around him and his legs began to shake uncontrollably.

“B-Boss Lei Li, you wanted to see me?” Eric tried to control the fear in his heart.

“No need to be nervous. Just answer whatever I ask This will be a casual meeting,” Lei Li said bluntly.

“Y-Yes.”

“Do you know that black-haired lad?” Lei Li asked in a low voice.

“I don’t recognition him. Actually, I just met him,” Eric replied in a fluster.

“What’s his name?”

“His name is Fang Hao. I’m not very close with him. We just had a short talk today,” Eric replied.

“Hmm, what does he do?” Lei Li leaned on his knees, his eyes locked on the chubby man.

Recently, the city’s faceless men were investigating how Rebecca had managed to slip past their sights.

Lei Li too was probing. In his investigation, he discovered that this black-haired young man frequently met with Rebecca at the City Lord’s Mansion.

Today, he saw Eric getting along with the black-haired lad rather well.

So, he decided to bring him in directly.

“He’s a cloth merchant. This time, Mrs. Rebecca’s council meeting dress was made by him. And he’s staying in Lyss City because Mrs. Rebecca has ordered some new clothes from him,” Eric blurted out everything he knew at once.

“He’s not from this city?”

“No, he said he’s from a city north of Pruell City, and he’s planning to open a shop in this city.”

“Did he say anything else?” Lei Li continue to press on.

“He asked me why Lyss City is run by Mrs. Rebecca instead of the City Lord.”

Ha!!

At this, Lei Li burst out laughing.

That Fang Hao seems to know nothing about the situation in Lyss City.

Regarding such common knowledge, he still needed to specifically ask about it. “What else did he say?”

Eric glanced shyly at Deborah’s thigh and whispered, “He deliberately asked about Miss Deborah..

At these words.

The carriage fell into a brief silence before a woman’s hearty laughter filled the space.

“It seems that the lad’s got some taste. Now that you say it, I kind of like him a little,” chuckled Deborah, a soft whisper following her laughter.

“Alright, you can leave now. You know the consequences if you tell anyone else about this matter, right?” Lei Li warned again.

“I understand, I understand. Even if I were braver, I wouldn’t dare to talk about this,”

Eric guaranteed loudly before slowly retreating away.

Only three people remained in the carriage.

“Lai Gou, do you think this Fang Hao is suspicious?” Lei Li asked Lai Gou.

Lai Gou thought for a moment and replied, “Boss, what the fatty said matches up to what I investigated. This black-haired lad is from out of town, he couldn’t possibly be involved in this matter. Even if he wanted to be involved, a cloth merchant like him wouldn’t have the capacity to.”

“Hmm, I also feel that there’s a slim chance it’s him.”

Lei Li gave the side wall a light tap, and the carriage began to move slowly.

Seeing that the two weren’t discussing this matter anymore.

Deborah nestled against Lei Li, her voice coy, “Big Lei, let me go and dig up some information about that lad for you.”

Lei Li didn’t reply.

“Pretty please! That boy is really good looking,” Deborah continued to plead.

“As excited as you are about this small matter, you can go ahead and meet the lad after a few days,” Lei Li finally said.

“Alright, Big Lei is the best.”

The second floor of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Fang Hao sat down, listening as the two women’s conversation grew more animated.

They had moved from discussing changes in the city to engaging in a lively conversation about music and art.

Rebecca is very artsy and has some exposure to music.

Rolana is from the traditional Blood Clan and is well versed in these subjects, making for a good conversation partner for Rebecca.

Fang Hao glanced at his watch; it was already 1:40 in the morning.

He yawned and said, “Madam Rebecca, it’s quite late, I don’t want to interrupt your rest.”

Rebecca nodded, “Okay, if anything crops up, I’ll notify you.”

“Sure.” Fang Hao turned to Rolana, “Miss Rolana, it’s very late. Do you need my carriage to take you back?”

The Eternal Night Clan is more energetic during the night.

However, everyone else is still a normal person who needs rest.

Rolana glanced at Fang Hao and stood up, “Madam Rebecca, I’ll see you next time.”

“Yes, until next time.”

After bidding farewell to Rebecca-

The three of them left the City Lord’s mansion directly.

They got into the carriage to go back to their quarters.

This late, the streets were deserted and the only sound was the horses’ hoofs and the wheels rolling over the road.

Fang Hao and the others were sitting in the carriage.

They fell into momentary silence.

“I will stay in Lyss City for a couple of days, when are you planning to return?”

Fang Hao asked Rolana, who sat opposite him.

He didn’t want to keep Rolana in Lyss City.

He was afraid she might cause trouble.

“I need some farming tools, once I get them, I’ll go back.” Rolana replied.

Fang Hao had already sent a group of people to Crescent Heights, even though these individuals were bandits who had surrendered.

Rolana visited Fang Hao for some pioneering tools.

Discovering he wasn’t at his fiefdom and that there were gowns to deliver, she came over directly.

“That’s no problem, I’ll arrange people to deliver them to you when we are back,” Fang Hao said softly.

These tools could be manufactured using hundredfold amplification, it wasn’t a problem at all.

However, it was inconvenient to manufacture and transport them in Lyss City.

“Well, I’ll also stay in Lyss City for a few days and we can leave together then,” Rolana continued.

“You don’t have to, you can go back first, I’ll arrange people to send you the tools directly,”

In saying this, Fang Hao was quite clear his intention was disregarded by Rolana.

She leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes.

The carriage returned to their place of residence.

Rolana was shown to her room, and Fang Hao retired for rest as well.

The next day.

9 AM in the morning.

He had come home at 2 in the morning, so he woke up slightly later today. Rubbing his bleary eyes, he sat up in bed and saw a figure standing at the door. She knocked on the door lightly.

Knock, knock, knock!!

Fang Hao was shocked and instinctively reached for the weapon beside him.

The next second, he recognized the figure standing at the door: Little You, who had reverted to her original form.

He glared at her, “Little You, what are you doing?”

“Sir, didn’t you tell me to knock first when I come?” Little You revealed a cunning smile.

Oh, come on!

What’s the point in knocking on the door if you’re already inside my room? Realising her playfulness, Fang Hao knew she did it on purpose.

Little You’s level had upgraded and she was no longer the cold, emotionless creature she once was.

She even learned how to play pranks now.

“I’m warning you, I have a heart condition; keep this up and you’ll scare me to death,” Fang Hao put his weapon down, and got out of bed.

“Bachelor Nelson, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Fang Hao dressed up.

While he was freshening up and chatting about the situation regarding the Faceless.

He heard from Little You that she had been to Lei Li and was questioned about

Eric, and the reason why Little You was still with Lei Li.

After breakfast, it was already lunch time.

Fang Hao took the group to the warehouse 402 where the auction purchases were stored.

He pulled out the key and opened the warehouse’s gate.

As the metal gate opened, the scene inside was revealed.

13 oil paintings covered with rag cloths were leaning against the wall.

The remaining items, which wrapped a few half human height statues, were casually placed in the middle of the warehouse.

Good lord, all this stuff was his and he felt like he had just spent his money on a junkyard.

Fang Hao randomly placed the oil paintings into the storage space and removed the linen cloth covering the items.

Five sculptures, they looked pretty good.

Three were in the form of animals, the other two a pair of naked men and women.

They appeared to be a set.

And the other side displayed the Atonement series weapons needed by Little You.

Surprisingly, however, there weren’t just one weapon but two.

[Atonement Willow Blade][Atonement Broad Blade].

Scored big time!

There were actually two Atonement weapons.

“Little You, go ahead and take the weapons,” Fang Hao told Little You who was behind him.

Little You was here today for the weapons Fang Hao had bought yesterday.

“Thank you, Sir.” Little You approached.

The moment she made contact with the weapons, a blue light surged from her body.
