Why the rush?” Fang Haut asked, voicing his doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca explained, “I received news that a representative from the council would arrive in Lyss City within three days. Although I’m not sure about his purpose, Lyss City cannot remain without a City Lord during this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Rebecca was busy combating the Faceless, she received news that someone from the council was already on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suspected that this was part of Aubrey’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plan was to have the council member arrive in Lyss City right after murdering her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the news of Rebecca’s accidental death would naturally reach the ears of the council, solidifying Aubrey’s position as the City Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time it happened, even if the city guards found Rebecca’s death suspicious,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they wouldn’t be able to investigate because the power had shifted to Aubrey’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aubrey’s plans were meticulously arranged, with every step taken into account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, his plans ultimately failed, leaving Rebecca to deal with the mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The council was inherently distrustful of Rebecca’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she needed to secure a candidate for City Lord before the council’s arrival, not providing them with any opportunity to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This seems rather unfair to you.” Fang Hao remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was marrying herself off to solidify her power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao felt that this was rather unfair to Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inequality is present in every corner of this city, everyone bends over backward to survive. Compared to them, I’m better off. Besides, I promised the former City Lord to take care of this city, I won’t give it up easily.” Rebecca looked up at the ceiling, speaking softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her voice was faint, the firm conviction could be clearly felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Pruell City, Lyss City was much more developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only here did Fang Hao feel like he was in an actual city, everywhere else felt like small towns or villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao thought for a moment, scratched his head, and said, “Rebecca, you don’t really know me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s there not to know?” Rebecca asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had elf bloodline, inheriting a portion of the Elf race’s appearance and lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she was one of the leading beauties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way she couldn’t handle a young man like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah… well, I own a large territory, and I already have several women by my side.” After pondering, Fang Hao decided to disclose these facts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His camp mainly consisted of the Undead, and his main forces were Undead troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Rebecca was an important figure in the Human Clan’s Federation of the Hundred Cities, she might not be able to accept this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he also had to consider Rolana’s feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anything else?” Rebecca asked, expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… no, that’s it,” Fang Hao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m aware of your territory, and it’s not a bad thing for Lyss City. As for the womanizing, I won’t interfere with you, don’t worry.” Rebecca gave a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had learned some details about Fang Hao from Rolana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao’s power could greatly benefit the development of Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could leverage Fang Hao’s power to accelerate the development of Lyss City, performing tasks she couldn’t do previously with his help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She considered this aspect thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Fang Hao’s womanizing, she wouldn’t interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he behaved like a stand-in husband when needed, that would be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao continued to emphasize, “No, you don’t understand my point. I own a territory; if you choose me, your city will become an affiliate city under my territory. Do you understand what I mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the key message Fang Hao wanted to convey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyss City was an independent entity within the Federation of the Hundred Cities, essentially functioning as an autonomous city. Although Rebecca was under the council’s suspicion and surveillance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she still had the right to govern the entire city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once she positioned Fang Hao as the City Lord, with her being the City Lord’s wife,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in accordance with the Book of Lords’ rules, Lyss City would be categorized as an affiliate city in the territory, and Rebecca would become the city governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her role would change from a sovereign to a City Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These positions had significant differences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can accept that, but you must guarantee my position in Lyss City, including control over the army and the city.” Rebecca responded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rolana has mentioned all these points to her before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Rolana, Fang Hao possessed the power to deter and defeat the Federation of the Hundred Cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there was a possibility of warfare between Fang Hao and the Federation in the future, and then Lyss City would be stuck in the middle, in a dangerous position.\u003C\u002Fp>",899,"2026-05-30T09:05:50.940Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","21197647136fa9b136d9c88588557e28e789cc5f5c1c450380a1c6afc7979683","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-554","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-552",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
