Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead - Chapter 506

Chapter 506: Chapter 424, Demon Manor_2

…

Fang Hao lost interest in continuing his leisurely stroll after he left the alleyway.

After climbing into his carriage, he headed directly back to his place.

After dinner.

When he returned to his room, he found someone already seated inside, awaiting him.

It was Little You, back to her original form.

“Sir!” Little You broke the silence.

Fang Hao had her stationed with Lei Li, using her to gather information for him.

It was for this very reason that, despite killing many faceless people for Rebecca, he had never touched Lei Li.

This time around, Little You would hopefully have intelligence he was unaware of.

“Little You, what news do you have this time?” Fang Hao asked directly.

Little You sat down and reported, “Sir, two days ago a ‘Leader’ of the faceless arrived. They held an emergency meeting and hatched a plan to assassinate Rebecca.”

Previously, Little You had mentioned that the faceless intended to bring someone special over.

It seemed this special person was the very ‘Leader’ she spoke of.

“Who is this person? Is their identity ascertainable?” Fang Hao continued to press.

Little You shook her head, “This individual is stronger than me. My attempts to spy on them failed as they found me out each time. However, judging by their stature, it is highly probable that they are a woman.”

Fang Hao had seen Little You’s espionage and tracking skills firsthand.

Her skill of blending into the shadows made her immensely difficult to detect.

Given that this individual noticed Little You’s surveillance attempts, they could be essentially considered a hero.

This exposed Little You to considerable danger.

“I see, no need to go back to the faceless anymore, just to be safe.” Fang Hao advised after some thought.

“Understood, sir.” Little You nodded in agreement.

They continued their conversation for some time, sharing more details, and then Little You left Fang Hao’s room.

Left alone in his room, Fang Hao sat on the edge of his bed, considering his subsequent strategies.

His identity had been revealed.

However, he still couldn’t confirm the identity of the faceless.

While he remained exposed to the public eye, the faceless were lurking in the shadows, monitoring his every move.

During these few days of his stay in Lyss City, he needed to be extra careful.

The night deepened and he went to bed, sinking into a heavy sleep.

…

The following morning.

After breakfast, Fang Hao led a group of people out of Lyss City.

Although the faceless posed a threat, the protection of several heroes assured his safety.

Especially after gaining Divinity, his personal strength had also been significantly improved.

He felt bold enough to confront a few assassins.

Today’s mission was to explore the Demon Manor, the mercenary mission they had picked up yesterday from the mission hall.

The group advanced towards their destination.

“Anjia, there were two women fighting over a man at the entrance of the tavern yesterday. A lot of people were gawking.” Millie, the rabbit woman, mounted on her horse, told Anjia sitting next to her.

“Really? Why didn’t you let me know? What were they fighting over?”

The dull journey made Anjia instantly interested.

“They were arguing over a man, it seems.” Millie replied.

“Was the fight intense?”

“It got intense. They were pulling hair and ripping clothes. People from the tavern came out to watch the spectacle. A big crowd had gathered.” Millie went on.

There were not many things that could make drunkards put down their drinks to join the crowd.

However, two women ripping each other’s clothes off would captivate many men’s interest.

“How did it end?” Anjia asked.

“Later, the patrol guards came and took the two women and the man away. I heard from others that they were fighting because the man apparently was trying to seduce another’s husband. That’s why they were fighting today.” Millie continued.

“Ah, is that so? Just for that? What’s the big deal about it!” Anjia commented.

“Exactly! Besides, the guy looks ugly with yellow teeth. I have no idea what there is to fight over.” Millie added.

In the Orc Tribe.

The Clan Leader and the elders within the tribe all had numerous women.

Like the previous Frostwind Tribe, every year they required women from the affiliated tribes as offerings.

In the dictionary of the Orcs, the strong could rightfully obtain more resources and rights of reproduction.

Everything bowed to the strong.

Although Anjia and Millie resembled humans in appearance and were somewhat neglected within the orc society, their understanding of societal concepts remained orcish.

They began discussing issues about men and women.

On the other side.

Fang Hao and Demitrija were also deeply engrossed in their whispered chat.

They discussed the redeployment of generals in various places.

With no wars existing in the territory now, the heroes in all places needed to be reconfigured.

In order to effectively utilize the heroes.

The team moved forward.

Around 10 in the morning.

Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps could be heard from the front.

Demitrija immediately ordered a defensive formation.

Several mercenaries dressed individuals appeared, their gear disarrayed. They fled in panic, frequently glancing back.

Bang!!

The soft twang of a crossbow string.

An arrow pinned itself right next to the foot of one of the running mercenaries.

“Stop right there! Drop your weapons!” Millie called out.

It was then that the mercenaries realized a well-equipped team blocked their path.

About 20 crossbows aimed at them from a distance.

The warning couldn’t have been clearer.

“No, no… We’re from the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group. We mean no harm… just passing through.” One of them stammered, slowly laying down their weapon on the ground.

The dozen or so mercenaries behind him also dropped their weapons.
