At a single glance, one could see an entire row of structures, all blackened from the flame, some still releasing wisps of smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few individuals clad in yellow were handling the areas that were still smoking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, a mage had summoned a heavy rain last night, or the fire might have destroyed half the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the scene, Fang Hao was suddenly reminded of Li Rong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know many people here, but he did know Li Rong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her shop was right on this street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, he sidled through the crowd, heading towards the Fairy Dream Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The further inside they went, the worse the fire damage appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that the fire had originated from the Fairy Dream Tower and gradually spread to the other stores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing left in its wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, there was no need for a door anymore, they climbed over the collapsed walls and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inside was a mess. There were no cosmetics, clothing, jewelry left – absolutely nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Fang Hao was about to take out the Book of Lords to inquire after Li Rong’s situation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He faintly heard someone sobbing from within the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sobs were not loud, as though the person was struggling to control them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the slightly hoarse and trembling crying, one could perceive the person’s sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao and his companions walked over the collapsed walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw Li Rong, covered head to toe in soot, crouched in a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head was buried in her arms, her body quaking uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing someone come in, Li Rong quickly wiped away her tears and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tear-streaked face looked like she had been crying her heart out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Fang Hao, she who had been suppressing her tears could no longer control herself and started crying again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao could understand her grief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After striving for such a long time, she thought everything was on the right track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one fire had stripped her of everything. Second outlet, business operations – all were lost.

All she could find was charred remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she buried herself in Fang Hao’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sobbing uncontrollably, mumbling incoherently about everything being gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao had heard of Li Rong’s business dreams, and he knew how heartbreaking it was to see those dreams shatter and lose everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to softly pat her shoulder, comforting her, “You still have your factory, your foundation is still there, everything can start again…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woohoo…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rong cried for a good while and then gradually quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped her tears off her face and raised her head from Fang Hao’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her once pretty face was now a mess of tears and soot, making Li Rong look like she had come out of the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wipe your face, you look like a grimy kitten,” Fang Hao handed over a handkerchief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rong took it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped her face, spreading the soot everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her a bit more settled, Fang Hao asked, “Did anyone get hurt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rong appeared somewhat dazed, her face was devoid of its previous cheerfulness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Responding in a low voice, “No, we don’t have anyone staying at the shop overnight, it’s just that my shop… it’s gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s alright, we can rebuild it later. It’s good that no one got hurt,” Fang Hao noticed her face becoming increasingly smeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out some water, wet the handkerchief, and wiped her face, revealing the fair complexion underneath the layer of soot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Anjia suddenly gave an exclamation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached his hand into the rubble and pulled out a long iron box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rong, with tears in her eyes, turned to look at the iron box in Anjia’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her crying ceased immediately and she ran over hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the box from Anjia, she opened it to reveal neatly stacked piles of Gold Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the money earned from the shop’s recent sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having money in her territory, Anjia naturally didn’t care much for this money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anjia’s ability to find treasures was something that had always impressed Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could effortlessly find this money, which was nothing out of ordinary to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rong held the money box, taking deep breaths in order to compose herself.\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-05-30T09:05:52.211Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","666bac032cfb42a4c18a461769cc8700ec9783db05027e0256c42521f88cbcbe","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-714","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-712",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
