And bursts of shouting.

This time, the operation led by Demitrija to kill Lei Li and others was without any difficulty.

Bang!!

Soon, a muscular man covered in blood burst through the window.

Without a closer look, he was immediately recognized as Lei Li.

However, as soon as Lei Li appeared, he was pierced from behind by a slender sword, his body pinned to the wall.

Demitrija came out of the warehouse, pulling his long sword from Lei Li’s body.

Lei Li slumped in the corner, continuously vomiting blood.

It didn’t seem like he would last much longer.

The battle, from beginning to end, didn’t last more than ten minutes.

This place was remote, and the sounds of the fight didn’t attract nearby guards.

Lei Li saw Fang Hao coming out from the shadows. His drooping eyes widened instantly. Spitting blood, he roared, “Fang Hao, it’s you, why are you killing me?”

The fight happened so quickly that all he saw were large swaths of golden-armored soldiers who killed upon sight.

He didn’t have a clear view of the situation.

He initially thought Rebecca’s men had come, but he didn’t expect Fang Hao to come out from the shadows.

If it wasn’t Rebecca, he might still have a chance.

Fang Hao squatted down and looked at Lei Li, who was on the brink of death, and softly said, “Lei Li, do you think I’m a fool? The faceless one, arranging assassins, capturing transmigrators, which of these actions didn’t warrant your death?”

Upon hearing Fang Hao’s words, Lei Li’s eyes went instantly dim.

Then, they became frantic.

“Haha, you are Fang Hao, the number one transmigrator, indeed formidable. But killing me changes nothing. Rebecca will die, you all will die, including you, Fang Hao. The transmigrators you want to protect, during the interrogation, they weren’t as steadfast about your secrets as you thought,” Lei Li spat blood and shouted loudly.

His expression was distorted, as if releasing his final rage.

After hearing Lei Li’s words, Fang Hao remained expressionless.

He said calmly, “Well, goodbye, boss Lei Li.”

The next second.

With a swing of Demitrija’s sword, Lei Li’s head dropped from his neck.

It rolled on the ground.

The boss of Lyss City’s gray industry died at the hands of Demitrija.

“See if there’s anything valuable here, we’ll leave in five minutes,” Fang Hao continued.

Everyone spread out, searched the warehouse again.

In the basement, they found two small chests of gold coins. Fang Hao collected them and then they turned to leave.

As for the scene left behind.

They would leave that for the city guard to handle, as he had helped Rebecca with the killing.

The remaining cleanup, naturally was left to Rebecca.

They can’t do all the work for them.

…

In the following days, Fang Hao stayed in Lyss City for three days.

During these three days, both shops were closed.

The city was still somewhat in chaos.

The four city gates were strictly checking those who entered and left.

Nobles and wealthy merchants were not allowed to leave the city for any reason.

Many wealthy people who planned to leave for shelter were forcibly kept here.

Even a few who sneaked out were caught and thrown directly into jail.

Fang Hao was not too interested in these matters.

Having the Book of Lords and the skill of God’s Presence allowed him to easily stay in touch with the outside world.

If there was any situation outside, he could return to his territory to handle matters through teleportation.

Staying in Lyss City was a rare few days of rest.

After dinner today.

Fang Hao received an invitation from Rebecca to go to the City Lord’s Mansion.

After the past few days, the City Lord’s Mansion had been repaired, but the entire second-floor balcony had collapsed and was not easy to rebuild.

The door opened.

The three heroes also entered the room with Fang Hao.

After all, the situation in the city was still unstable, and they needed to be guarded wherever they went.

In the room, there was only Rebecca.

Seeing the three heroes following along, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

In her heart, she mumbled that Fang Hao was really afraid of death!

“Did you kill Lei Li?” Rebecca leaned on her desk and asked.

Although it had been three days since the incident, Rebecca could still confidently affirm that Fang Hao was responsible.

In the city, the only ones who would have the resolution and courage to kill Lei Li were her and Fang Hao.

And the only one who would do it so decisively was just Fang Hao.

Fang Hao didn’t deny it, but directly asked, “How did the Faceless clean up? Aubrey should have been caught, right?”

Rebecca shook her head and said, “When the guards found Aubrey, his throat had been slit, and he was already dead. Probably killed by another Faceless, but we gained a lot from it this time. We found a lot of people.”

From the military movements in the city these past few days, it was known that some Faceless had been found.

But the list of Faceless that Fang Hao obtained was only a small part of what the guards had captured.

Fang Hao put his hand into his pocket, intending to pull out the list he had obtained from the Cranial Rat.

Before he could pull it out, he already heard Rebecca continue, “After this is over, I have something important to tell you.”

“Oh, just say it, why be so polite?” Fang Hao held the note in his hand.

Rebecca frowned at the three heroes standing by Fang Hao’s side, and continued, “There’s nothing dangerous in this room. Could you three please wait outside the door!”

The three heroes were stunned.

They saw Fang Hao at the same time.

Fang Hao was also curious about what Rebecca wanted to tell him, asking them to leave.

“You three wait for me outside the door. After the conversation, we’ll go back together.” Fang Hao said.

“Yes, sir.” The three of them rechecked the safety of the room before closing the door and leaving.

At this point, only Fang Hao and Rebecca were left in the room.

“Alright, now it’s just the two of us. Whatever secret you have, you can just tell me straightaway.” Fang Hao joked.

But when he looked up again, he found that Rebecca’s cheeks immediately flushed, even her neck and collarbone were blushing.

She hesitated a bit before continuing, “You should have heard some rumors about Lyss City.”

“Huh? What’s up?” Fang Hao was a bit confused.

“Although I am in control of Lyss City, due to my own reasons, I can’t gain recognition from the Federal Conference, so…” Rebecca’s voice suddenly trailed off.

Fang Hao still sat there, not understanding why Rebecca was telling him all this.

He had indeed heard of these matters, but what did they have to do with him?

Seeing that Fang Hao was still perplexed, Rebecca’s face turned even redder, she gritted her teeth and said, “Since Aubrey is dead, I need a husband of human status to become the city lord of Lyss City, while I remain as the lord’s wife.”

Cough, cough!!

Upon hearing these words, Fang Hao choked and coughed twice.

“You, you’re not…”

“Yes, I need a man I can trust and who can also help Lyss City to be its lord. I discussed with Rolana, and we think you are suitable. Plus, I don’t have any objections towards you.” Rebecca stepped forward, looking straight into his eyes, she spoke earnestly.

Because of Rebecca’s half-elf identity, the Federation wouldn’t allow her to rule Lyss City.

Now that Aubrey was dead, she still needed a man to silence the members of the conference, preventing them from finding any reasons to take over the city.

However, she had enough of Aubrey’s incompetency and wanted to find a man who could actually be of help to Lyss City, serving as her husband.

These two days, she discussed all these matters with her supporters and Rolana.

When discussing the requirements that the next lord of the city needed to meet, they realized it was difficult to find such a man in the city.

Eventually, Rolana came up with a name: Fang Hao.

If there was indeed a man in the city who could meet Rebecca’s requirements, it would be Fang Hao, and no one else.

If there was, Rebecca wouldn’t have picked Aubrey from the decadent nobles in the first place.

So, after a thorough discussion,

Rebecca went straight to Fang Hao and told him all of this.

Fang Hao was shocked at the news.

Who could have thought that she asked for him to be her husband? This seemed a little too abrupt.

I treated you as a partner, and now you want to make a move on me.
