Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 561: Chapter 445, My New Husband_3

“Thank you, please come in,” Rebecca said, turning to lead the way.

As Hubert and his companion followed, Hubert continued to ask, “Why haven’t we seen Lord Aubrey?”

“My husband met with an unexpected accident not long ago,” Rebecca said in a calm tone, with no trace of melancholy to be heard.

Hubert and his companion were both stunned, their brows furrowing for a long while before they responded, “Our condolences, ma’am.”

“Ah, Aubrey did much for the city. This time, he managed to draw out all the Faceless,” Rebecca replied.

After Aubrey planned to assassinate Rebecca.

He enraged Rebecca thoroughly, leading her to purge all the Faceless in the city.

“Does this mean that the Faceless are already so active in Lyss City?” Hubert asked in surprise.

“Lyss City is still relatively peaceful. No major disturbances have occurred,” Rebecca responded.

As they chatted during their walk, they arrived at the City Lord’s mansion.

Before entering the mansion.

Hubert beckoned a dark-haired and dark-eyed attendant and whispered to him.

Then, the dark-haired attendant led the team of cavalrymen to the rest barracks.

Hubert and Groot followed Rebecca into the City Lord’s mansion.

…

Before night fell.

Fang Hao used the teleportation light curtain to return to Lyss City.

Today, Rebecca told him through the sound-transmitting shell that the representatives of the Federation had arrived in Lyss City.

At the banquet that night, Fang Hao needed to appear in his capacity as City Lord to prevent the Federal Conference from interfering with Lyss City.

In the room.

Anjia helped Fang Hao change into a stately noble dress.

With his upright posture and handsome appearance, Anjia kept praising how good he looked.

Squeak Squeak!!

Suddenly, there was the sound of a mouse coming from beneath a wardrobe.

“A mouse.” Anjia raised her hand to slap, but Fang Hao stopped her.

He explained, “Don’t be in a hurry. This is the Cranial Rat that traded information with me last time.”

Under the wardrobe, a mouse, with protruding eyes, two white-furred Cranial Rats, held a folded message together.

Fang Hao bent over to pick it up, and the mouse turned his head and burrowed back into the wardrobe, disappearing from sight.

He opened the letter, and on it was written information concerning Adeline.

This was the information Fang Hao got by exchanging it with Filthy Blood.

There were two pieces of information in the intelligence.

[Rebecca began investigating based on Adeline’s appearance and name, and half a month ago, she entered Lyss City as a relative of a merchant.]

[The church’s records show that Adeline was a priestess managing the church’s orphanage 52 years ago. The orphanage was later attacked by a monster, and Adeline died during the attack.]

The mention of the orphanage.

Made Fang Hao immediately think of the orphanage he had explored before.

In the dilapidated basement, they found a 7-level Fear Devourer made up of lumps of flesh with countless mouths and eyes piled together.

The Fear Devourer they encountered, its intelligence resembled that of a group of children who had not yet matured.

What they were shouting at the time was Teacher Adeline.

They claimed Adeline left them there, waiting for the teacher to pick them up.

It appears that these two, Adeline and the teacher, are very likely the same person.

Thinking back now.

Lyss City alone wouldn’t need to employ a hero of Adeline’s level to kill Rebecca.

The key issue may not be Lyss City. After all, even the Faceless wouldn’t have known about Fang Hao’s specific capabilities before he got involved.

It’s highly likely that the main goal was to retrieve the Fear Devourers. After all, they’d been raised for decades and had gained a certain level of power.

There was also the Demon Doll and Pope’s arm that he had found in the secret room.

Alas, she didn’t expect the situation to change so dramatically once Fang Hao got involved.

Even if she had known about Fang Hao’s involvement, she couldn’t have anticipated a transmigrator would have Dark Gold and Orange heroes.

“What does it say?” Anjia curiously asked while draping her arm over Fang Hao’s shoulder.

“Information about Adeline,” Fang Hao responded.

“Who’s Adeline?”

“She’s the one from the last banquet, the one with the big wings who fought Rolana from the ground to the sky,” Fang Hao explained.

“Oh, who is she?”

“The information may not be accurate. Fifty-two years ago she was a priestess of the church, then joined the demons and is now a Faceless,” said Fang Hao, folding the letter and storing it.

“Fifty-two years ago, huh? How is she still so young?” Anjia questioned, surprised.

“It must be the power of the demons!”

“Can I learn it too? I want to stay young.”

“Who would you learn from? I don’t know how.”

As the two were chatting, a knock came from outside the door.

A maid’s voice carried in from outside.

“Sir, the lady requests your presence in the banquet hall.”

“Thank you, I’m coming right away,” Fang Hao replied, getting up to leave the room.

Fang Hao wasn’t particularly keen to mingle with these nobles, as they often had a certain arrogance about them.

However, this banquet involved the welfare of Lyss City, so he still needed to cooperate with Rebecca.

Whether it was Pruell City or Lyss City.

Maintaining membership in the Federation of Hundred Cities was still important for the development of a territory.

Fang Hao opened the door and walked out.

Outside, Aseti, Demitrija, and several Lionheart Knights followed Fang Hao towards the banquet hall.

…

The banquet hall of the City Lord’s mansion was still under renovation.

This banquet was held in an adjacent temporary hall.

Fang Hao hadn’t arrived yet.

But at present, the dinner table was already filled with people.
