Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 360: Chapter 352, The Freakish Old Man_2

The woman extended her arms, encircling Lei Li s neck.

Her entire body clung tightly to him.

She spoke softly: “Of course I found out. The city is going to expand its military next month, and I’ve figured out their development goals and personnel arrangements in the City Lord’s mansion. That old man always spills the beans when he’s unwell, so it would be impossible not to hear it.”

“Ha ha ha! You’re quite capable.” Lei Li laughed heartily.

This intelligence was enough to earn him a handsome sum.

It would also potentially elevate his status within the organization.

Just as they were getting passionate and planning some intense activities, there came a sudden rush of hurried footsteps from outside.

Thud, thud, thud!!

Then the door was knocked. Lei Li, who was in a good mood, instantly darkened

his face.

“Come in.”

The door opened, and seeing that the person coming in was his most reliable henchman, ‘Lai Gou1, Lei Li’s face eased a bit.

“What happened?”

Lai Gou glanced at the woman who was still swaying on Lei Li and said calmly, “Boss, the warehouse in the east of the city has been raided by the City Lord’s mansion. They say that everyone has been arrested.”

“What!”

Upon hearing this news, Lei Li’s face changed, he instantly stood up, and the woman in his arms fell to the ground with a scream.

“Is the news accurate?”

“Accurate, this news will spread soon.” Lai Gou continued.

Lei Li’s eyes kept changing rapidly, and he muttered, “How is this possible, it’s impossible!”

He knows the capabilities of the Faceless.

How could such a mistake be made, it’s impossible.

How could the City Lord’s mansion make a move without any information leakage?

If the City Lord’s mansion really had this ability, it wouldn’t have fallen to this point.

“The guards, who led the team?” Lei Li asked again.

“They say it was Rebecca’s personal guard captain. Once he got there, he arrested everyone.” Lai Gou continued.

“Bloody hell!” Lei Li cursed, thought for a moment, and continued, “Prepare some men, kill those stupid fools who were arrested. They were more hindrance than help.”

“Yes, boss.”

Lei Li frowned and sat back in his chair, deep in thought.

Lai Gou stood in place, his eyes gradually growing cold, and his hand behind his back moved towards the dagger behind him.

Just as he was about to make a move, he heard Lei Li continue, “In a few days, people from above will be sent here. If this matter is not handled properly, both you and I will be held responsible. We can’t let those four people stay alive. Got it?”

Hearing Lei Li’s words, Lai Gou’s hands loosened once again and hung down on his sides.

Those referred to as ‘above’ by Lei Li couldn’t possibly be someone from Lyss City, it could only be those sent by the Faceless.

With a new target emerging, ‘she’ had no choice but to change the plan.

“Yes, boss, I’ll handle it properly.” Lai Gou agreed, quickly exited.

The sudden news left Lei Li with no mood for what he had planned earlier.

Just a moment ago, he was gleeful that the woman had obtained detailed information about Lyss City.

But he never expected that Rebecca had already changed her strategy and launched a counterattack.

The identities of the Faceless are kept secret from one another. But once someone is discovered, a whole string of people will be implicated.

Chances are, before dawn.

A number of nobles would be arrested, or even executed on the spot.

Lei Li sat gloomily on the sofa, his mind somewhat blank.

The next morning!

Fang Hao, again in the guise of a cloth merchant, came to the City Lord’s mansion.

Guided by a maid, he went straight to Rebecca’s bedroom.

Inside the room.

Rebecca, wrapped in a light blue blanket, lazily lounged on a sofa…

On a chair nearby lay scattered clothes and two inner armour pieces.

It seemed that Rebecca had also participated in last night’s interrogations and hadn’t been back for long.

“Lady Rebecca.” Fang Hao greeted softly.

Yawn!!

Rebecca yawned, glanced at Fang Hao without moving her head, and said softly, “Why did you come this early? Aren’t you tired?”

“lam waiting for the boss to settle the bill, naturally I am motivated.” Fang Hao joked.

He pushed some scattered clothes to the side and sat down on the chair. Rebecca gave him an annoyed look and said softly, “Do you think I would owe you money?”

While speaking, she tightened the blue blanket around her chest and walked straight to the desk nearby. She took out four money bags from the drawer and placed them on the table.

Fang Hao picked them up, and there were 1,000 gold coins in each bag.

In other words, a thousand gold per person.

Such a simple, casualty-free and lucrative mission is the one mercenaries like best.

But last night, someone offered a ransom of ten thousand per person.

That’s much more generous than Rebecca.

“Do you know about a blueprint for a blasting tube?” Rebecca asked again. Having interrogated the four men and Anshiel last night, she discovered that the cause of the incident was a blueprint for a blasting tube.

But when she searched where Anshiel had indicated, she found that the blueprint was gone. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Of course, Rebecca suspected the people of the Faceless the most, but Fang Hao should also have seen the interrogation records last night.

“What blasting tube, what’s a blasting tube?” Fang Hao asked curiously.

Seeing his ignorance, Rebecca didn’t continue with the topic, “I was quite satisfied with yesterday’s mission, but you were a bit too heavy-handed. The man whose arms you severed is a well-known jeweler in the city. I had to use a bottle of life potion to save him.”

Fighting was like that, it wasn’t like you could call out to drop their weapons and surrender and they would comply.

Only when you killed a few people did you have enough deterrent power.

“Oh, how did the interrogation go last night? I heard that several fights broke out consecutively.” Fang Hao casually responded and then asked.

Rebecca sighed slightly and said, “We repelled several assassination attempts. The key people are now being held in custody. Progress with the interrogation is fairly good.”

“Oh.” Fang Hao responded.

The fights that broke out afterwards, were apparently made to kill and silence people.

“This is for you, it will make your movements in the city more convenient in future. Of course, you’re still mercenaries on ordinary days. If there’s a mission, I’ll contact you separately.” Rebecca handed an emblem to Fang Hao.

[Lyss City Lord’s Mansion Guard Emblem]

Category: Emblem

(Description: An emblem representing affiliation with the City Lord s Mansion.)

The emblem didn’t provide any special attribute bonuses, it was just an ordinary badge.

Its actual utility was not significant, just a small reward from Rebecca for the Bone Mercenary Group to continue helping her.

It seemed to have the feel of a regular soldier, but was still fundamentally a

mercenary group.
