After quietly consuming the antidote, they remained seated without any sign of disturbance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao looked towards the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aubrey and Rebecca were also eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By Aubrey’s side, a blonde maid poured wine for the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And by Rebecca’s side stood an armored guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard wore standard armor used by the City Lord’s Residence guards, nothing unusual about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the maid, despite her beauty, gave Fang Hao a sensation of familiarity as if he had seen her somewhere before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Fang Hao’s attention was swiftly captured by Aubrey, who seemed particularly excited today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting back in his chair, Aubrey spoke animatedly with a smile stretched across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, on the other hand, Rebecca’s countenance became more and more gloomy, as if she were holding onto the edge of a precipice of fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Fang Hao noticed that the entrance to the hall was blocked by the guards and anyone attempting to leave was stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there was no overt conflict, the space had become a lockdown from which no one could escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that the intel from the Cranial Rat had been accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aubrey really had set up a feast akin to a trap, gathering all the nobles of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to eliminate all those supporting Rebecca in one fell swoop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he intended to seize the position of the ruler of Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Deomn Doll was leading people back in a hurry. What he needed to do was to ensure the safety of his people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over the hall, but he did not see Rolana anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must have gone to find Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Fang Hao scrutinized the guard beside Rebecca more closely. The guard’s height did seem similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fang Hao looked around for an escape route…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wine glass in Aubrey’s hand lightly fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As though a signal had been given, the corridors on either side of the party hall suddenly filled with a peculiar smell, quickly pervading the entire hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the dining guests in the hall fell unconscious one by one, slumping on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao, Anjia, and Aseti looked at each other and feigned unconsciousness by slumping onto the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aim was to see what these people were up to next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The erstwhile bustling banquet immediately plunged into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second floor, the voices of Aubrey and Rebecca transmitted clearly into Fang Hao’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca stood up in anger and roared, “Aubrey, you dare collude with the Faceless…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having reached this point, Rebecca’s astute mind led her to guess that Aubrey had colluded with the Faceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had given Aubrey everything the man possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never did she expect that Aubrey would involve himself with the Faceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toppling her seemed to hold no benefit for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither had Rebecca nor the Faceless, prior to uncovering Aubrey’s true identity, ever thought that this effeminate man would be a member of the Faceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, why so agitated, Rebecca? It’s not like you,” said Aubrey, a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you do this?” Rebecca roared in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No particular reason. I felt stifled under your command. I just wanted to live like a man,” Aubrey replied indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rebecca sneered, “Aubrey, you are as hypocritical as ever. If your pride mattered to you, you wouldn’t have been my fake husband, enjoying the wealth that I bestowed upon you and claiming to want to live like a man. Even you don’t believe those words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Born into a destitute minor noble family, Aubrey was also burdened with massive gambling debts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Rebecca was facing difficulties in her legitimate succession of Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their marriage was one of mutual usage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca needed a male counterpart to legitimately control Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Aubrey needed someone to help repay his gambling debts and even escape his poor lifestyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though their marriage was a sham, Rebecca still provided Aubrey with a lifestyle akin to that of a city lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aubrey could even manage some of the affairs within the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was not content with this arrangement. He believed he could have more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Rebecca’s mockery, Aubrey remained undeterred. Over the years, the comments he had endured from outsiders were a hundred times more vicious than Rebecca’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged and said, “It doesn’t matter anymore. Look around, who else is listening to your words? Your supporters are going to be buried along with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the nobles of the city were passed out downstairs, and no one would hear the conversation between them or let it leak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca was going to die during this banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had already chosen the murderer, a certain transmigrator named Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, using this event as an excuse, Lyss City would formally send troops to attack the nearby cities held by transmigrators.\u003C\u002Fp>",986,"2026-05-30T09:05:40.104Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","789343d47a47265e55cb3dd629351939ef8b6475110589cd83e80d526b124b9f","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-545","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-543",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
