Pick some people to go with me to Lyss City later,” Fang Hao continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, master.” Millie nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her arms still held Fang Hao tightly, with no intention of letting go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go on, we’re leaving soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Fang Hao’s urging, Millie finally let go and started gathering people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Millie assembled 20 people, and they set off for Lyss City on horseback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao chose to ride on a purple-scaled horse to Lyss City instead of using teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had his own reasons for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyss City wasn’t a city under his control, and more often than not, teleportation would end up in the city center or the City Lord’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao wasn’t sure if he could teleport directly into his recently purchased residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he chose to teleport to the Gray Bear Fortress and then ride the rest of the way, providing a proper reason for his entrance into the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to explain his travel times to the Lyss City authorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By three in the afternoon, Fang Hao and his group had entered Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, they delivered a batch of new clothes to a clothing store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they headed to the City Lord’s Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had yet to claim the reward for assisting Rebecca with the Faceless last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, he wanted to build a relationship with her, which would make it easier for him to develop and conduct business in the city in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the guidance of a maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fang Hao walked along the long corridor, he noticed a change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting from the courtyard of the City Lord’s Manor, there were significantly more patrolling guards than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even this previously deserted corridor was now guarded by armed soldiers every few meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between guards was carefully arranged, so that even if a guard was at a corner, he could still see his companions to his left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one of them encountered any trouble, the others would be alerted immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that during his absence\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some problem had arisen within Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this problem had threatened Rebecca’s personal safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it could affect the ruler of a city,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation must be quite serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid led Fang Hao swiftly to a study room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently knocked on the door, “Madam, Mr. Fang Hao is here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let him in.” Rebecca’s voice came from inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid opened the door, “Mr. Fang Hao, please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao nodded and walked straight into the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the study, Rebecca, dressed in a beige gown, was sitting at her desk reviewing a stack of documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when she saw Fang Hao enter did she put the documents aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I haven’t seen you for quite a while.” Rebecca began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was dealing with some issues. I just arrived,” said Fang Hao, sitting down opposite her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca revealed a slight smile and pulled open a drawer. She pulled out a few heavy money bags and pushed them in front of Fang Hao, “This is the reward for the last mission, I’ve been keeping it for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao took it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the money meant nothing to him now, these gold coins were the agreed reward for their collaboration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has it been unsafe in the city recently? I noticed you’ve increased your manpower.” Fang Hao asked straightforwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca sighed softly, not intending to hide anything, “The day before yesterday, I was attacked on my way to a banquet, I suspect the Faceless are responsible, so I’ve increased my guard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relationship between Rebecca and Fang Hao was more like friendship, although they also collaborated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she held the power in Lyss City, she didn’t have anyone she could truly trust within the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could be sure where the Faceless had planted informers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was certain that she and Fang Hao were on the same side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had cooperated in killing quite a few Faceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when her whereabouts were revealed and she was attacked, she was willing to tell Fang Hao about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? They’ve become so bold as to dare to assassinate you?” Fang Hao was quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Hundred Cities Federation, each city governed itself. So, essentially, each City Lord was the supreme ruler in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decision of the Faceless to assassinate the City Lord signified a declaration of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no longer a matter of secretly kidnapping residents and gathering intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal, but you should also be careful in the city to avoid any danger.” Rebecca gave him a word of caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind. Let me know if anything comes up.” Fang Hao nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two didn’t talk for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca had many documents that needed to be reviewed, and Fang Hao also had his own matters to attend to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left the City Lord Mansion while it was still early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He met up with Anjia outside the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hailed a carriage and directly headed to the mission hall at the east gate of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission hall was a specific place where tasks were distributed to mercenary groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao had previously registered his mercenary group and had received several tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage stopped on the street, and Fang Hao led Anjia straight into the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall was as bustling as ever, filled with personnel from various mercenary groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already approaching dusk, and he wondered if there were still any good tasks left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao was just trying his luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also took the chance to stroll around the night market in the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Items like Multi-Headed Fire Python and Undead War Drum, as well as some rare resources, were all purchased from the night market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, he would also come across some good finds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the counter, he asked for a list of reward tasks from the receptionist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started to check each task one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flipping through a few, a certain task caught Fang Hao’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Map: Demon Manor]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Type: Single-page Map]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Remark: A manor that has little contact with outsiders.

Even if it was, how come these two men were together again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao’s nerves instantly tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca’s words of caution suddenly flashed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faceless might have already known that Fang Hao was helping Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was highly likely that these people were arranged by the Faceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he couldn’t think of a second enemy who would monitor him in Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought in mind, Fang Hao casually draped his arm around Anjia, adopting an intimate pose like a couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t turn around, someone’s following us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them moved through the crowd without showing any unusual behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two followers not far away put down the items on the stall, got up, and started to trail behind Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s those two men. Their strength isn’t high. They should just be ordinary spies. It won’t be difficult to deal with them.” Anjia also noticed the two men behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go, we should find a quiet place,” Fang Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them walked straight out of the market and turned into a dark alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alley was filled with rubbish and swarming with flies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, the two followers stood at the entrance of the alley, frowning as they watched the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>",1594,"2026-05-30T09:05:40.104Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","7b6e017acbcd2b35b8c6baf83582f62e9ce31dd93e90f5013ed443cfe374ae7c","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-505","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-503",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
