Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Seeing Fang Hao about to lean in again, Rebecca promptly turned her head away.

"Hmph, keep dreaming, wait until I'm in a good mood." After speaking, she called out to the door: "Come in."

The door opened and Rebecca's personal maid walked in.

She took a glance at the scene in the room and softly said, "Madam."

"Hmm, the City Lord has not had breakfast yet, you take him to breakfast." Rebecca said softly.

"Yes, City Lord, please follow me, I will prepare breakfast for you immediately." The maid stepped aside and respectfully said.

When things were starting to develop with Rebecca, Fang Hao couldn't help but feel reluctant to leave.

However, seeing Rebecca's irritated expression, he didn't want to force anything.

He was worried that his rising loyalty would drop due to this event.

Either way, they had already made progress, and he wasn't afraid that she would run away.

"Ahem! Well, it's getting cold, remember to wear more clothes."

With that said, he followed the maid out of the room.

The personal maid was Rebecca's confidante who had relayed messages during their joint operation to capture the Faceless Ones previously.

She had been guarding the door all this while to prevent anyone from coming in.

"What would you like to eat, sir? I will have it prepared and sent to you." The maid smiled and said.

"Keep it simple, just send it to my room."

"Alright, the weather is cold. You should also dress warmly to avoid catching a cold."

Hmm? It seemed that the maid's attitude towards him had improved significantly.

"Hmm, okay. "

Fang Hao walked to his room.

He couldn't help thinking about the somewhat alluring scenes from earlier.

He savored the feelings from earlier.

He had to admit, Rebecca was truly exquisite.

Fang Hao didn't return to his room directly but instead told everyone to take a rest. Meanwhile, he prepared some cold-resistant clothes.

He then distributed them to the soldiers.

...

The sound of the rain outside the window was still incessant.

After Fang Hao left, the anger on Rebecca's face turned into blushes of shyness.

She wanted to get up and have a drink, but found that her legs were a bit shaky.

That scoundrel, calling me 'big sister!'...

He really thought too much.

Just thinking about Fang Hao made her heart beat faster again.

Her heart was pounding.

She couldn't get rid of the feeling of their lips touching each other.

She touched her slightly aching lips.

It seemed that he was very experienced at kissing, while she appeared rather awkward.

Next time, she had to be more assertive, or else it would be quite embarrassing.

...

The rain came quickly and left just as fast.

By dusk, the heavy rain had turned into a drizzle, and by the next morning, the sky was completely clear.

Everyone got up early and began preparing for the journey ahead.

The goods were loaded onto the wagons, tied tightly with hemp ropes, and covered with tarp.

After having breakfast and dismantling the temporary shelter they had built, the group set off once again.

They continued moving forward.

However, the recent rains had left the roads muddy, slowing down their progress.

They moved at a snail's pace.

It took them four days to reach Jinmastu.

It was clear that the security around Jinmastu was not as good as in Lyss City.

On the day they were about to reach, they encountered several road robbers along the way. All of them were eliminated by Fang Hao's men, without causing any loss.

Nearing the city wall.

Rebecca arranged for someone to coordinate with the guards of Jinmastu.

They checked the goods, registered them, and allowed the army to enter the city.

According to the Federation's regulations, every city had to assist those attending the council meeting and could not create unnecessary obstacles.

The team of 1,700 people still attracted the attention of the city's residents.

People filled both sides of the road, chattering amongst themselves.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man was also staring at the team ahead.

First, he confirmed the flag.

Then, he carefully counted the number of people in the team.

Afterward, he left the crowd, took a detour down a side street and rushed deeper into the city.

...

In a low house in the civilian area.

In a small room, twenty some people were either lying or sitting down.

But the room was completely silent, no one spoke.

Thump, thump, thump!!

The door was knocked rhythmically.

Originally, everyone had been on edge, but now they instantly relaxed, yet they still firmly gripped the weapons in their hands.

One person, who was near the door, looked outside through the gap of the dilapidated wooden planks.

Seeing that it was one of their own, he then opened the door.

As soon as he stepped in, he immediately closed the door behind him.

He spoke softly: "Boss, Lyss City's troop has entered the city, and their numbers have increased to over a thousand."

"What? How is that possible?" Everyone collectively gasped.

After the exclamation, everyone quickly came to a realization.

If Lyss City's army appeared here now, that would mean the Life-taker hideout no longer existed.

They, these people, had narrowly escaped death right there.

"Thanks to Big Brother 3, otherwise we all would be dead in that hideout."

"Yeah, Big Brother 3 did take everything into consideration. We not only survived but have also brought all our money."

"Exactly, we will have good days following Big Brother 3."

The "Big Brother" that everyone was talking about was Li Zhenhu, who sat silently on one side.

Among these people, there were the soldiers he had recruited previously, and also some bandits who were loyal to him.

In short, he had brought out more than twenty people, and the Life-taker hideout was probably non-existent by now.

Despite all the flattery from his underlings, Li Zhenhu's face remained serious.

He didn't doubt that Lyss City had the power to destroy the Life-taker hideout, but he knew they couldn't do it so quickly.

Now that the hideout was destroyed so quickly, it was certain that Fang Hao had intervened.

At the same time, he felt somewhat relieved in his heart that he had managed to escape in advance; otherwise, he might have died there too.

Seeing that Li Zhenhu wasn't saying anything, the underlings who were flattering him felt a bit awkward.

"Um, boss, what should we do next?" someone quietly asked.

Li Zhenhu thought for a bit, then said: "Try not to go out too much lately. Be patient for a while and wait until they're gone."

"Oh, all right, then boss, should we continue to get in touch with the nobles?" the underling continued to ask.

Quite a few boxes of gold coins were lying under Li Zhenhu's bed.

With his arms propped on his knees, Li Zhenhu contemplated.

The original plan didn't seem to be fulfilling his ambition now.

If Fang Hao could grow stronger with the support of Lyss City, then couldn't he also take a different path by reaching out to Jinmastu?

Follow Fang Hao's old path.

By then, he would also have the power to confront Fang Hao.

After a long contemplation.

When Li Zhenhu looked up again, his eyes were reignited with ambition.

Depending on which noble, if you want to play, then play big.

"There's no rush, wait until they're gone. Let's plan out how to take over the city for ourselves."

...

Nightfall.

The door opened, and people dressed in various outfits walked in.

"Sir, we're back."

"Hmm, any news on Li Zhenhu?" Fang Hao asked directly.

These people did not enter the city with the procession.

Instead, Fang Hao had arranged for them in advance, disguising themselves in different identities, and had entered the city even earlier.

To gather information on Li Zhenhu.

Hearing Fang Hao's question, these people looked at each other.

One of them said: "Sir, five days ago, there indeed were some people looking like bandits who entered the city in a carriage, but their actions were covert. After they entered the city, they disappeared."

"I bribed the city guards. They said there were a lot of new people in the city recently. They all came to avoid the winter, so it's not easy to figure out who are the bandits."

"In the tavern, there is some information. But to find out their hiding place, we might need more time."

Everyone reported the information they brought back, one by one.

It was confirmed that Li Zhenhu had indeed brought people into Jinmastu, but after entering, they went into hiding immediately.

And at this time, the Lyss City army proudly entered the city.

Those guys would definitely be even less willing to show themselves now.

After thinking about it, he said: "It's fine, they are lucky. Just wait and see. Hat's off to you, you can go and rest now."

"Yes, sir." The people once again bowed and exited the room.

The night got deeper.

Fang Hao continued to sit at the table, waiting quietly.

Anjia stood watching on the side, yawning from boredom.

Thump, thump...!

The door was knocked again.

Before Fang Hao could speak, the door was pushed open, and Lorrey's small head peeked in.

"Sir, I've found the blueprint for the cannon."
