Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 534: Chapter 435, Ren Jun’s Plea for Help_1

The group headed straight to the temple.

A priestess approached, looking slightly nervous, “Sir, may I help you with something?”

With hundreds of people coming, they obviously weren’t here to pray at the temple.

Fang Hao took out his certificate and said, “This is a certificate issued by Priestess Miriam. This time, I brought some assistants here to learn.”

“Oh, I know about that. You are Mr. Fang Hao, right? Priestess Miriam has informed us about this,” The priestess realized that this was indeed something that had been arranged.

Priestess Miriam had informed them about this half a month ago.

However, the challenge from the system delayed Fang Hao’s plans, causing the people to arrive a week late.

This made the priestesses momentarily forget about this matter.

“Oh, that’s good. Is Priestess Miriam here?” Fang Hao continued to ask.

Since Miriam was aware of this in advance, it saved him further explanations.

“Mr. Fang Hao, unfortunately, Priestess Miriam has gone to the City Lord’s Mansion and is not here.” The priestess answered.

Hearing the mention of the City Lord’s Mansion, Fang Hao frowned.

The previous few times they called for Miriam, it was because someone was injured.

This time, he hoped that there were no issues at the City Lord’s Mansion!

“What’s wrong with the City Lord’s Mansion?” Fang Hao continued to ask.

The priestess looked at Fang Hao and said, “We don’t know either.”

Seeing that she was unwilling to answer, Fang Hao said, “I’ve brought the people. Also, these are the donations for the temple.”

They needed to give the temple some benefits to keep the people there.

The donated items all carried the Bone Textile Store logo, not only satisfying the temple but also providing advertising for his store.

It was a win-win situation.

However, it was a shame that Miriam wasn’t there today, else he could have spoken to her directly.

It wasn’t a big problem. Once she was back, the priestess would inform her.

Seeing Fang Hao donate a heap of goods, the priestess’s face lit up with delight, “Thank you, Mr. Fang Hao, I will report this to Priestess Miriam.”

“Mm.” Fang Hao nodded and then said to the people who were staying at the temple, “You all need to study hard, and when you’re done, I’ll send someone to bring you back.”

“Yes, sir.” Over two hundred people saluted in unison.

The priestess left with the two hundred people and the donated goods while Fang Hao returned to his residence.

…

After dinner.

Fang Hao headed straight to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Guided by a maid, he arrived at Rebecca’s study.

In the room, besides Rebecca, the City Lord, Aubrey, was also there.

However, Aubrey looked extremely upset, appearing as though he’d just finished arguing with someone.

Seeing the maid bringing Fang Hao in, Aubrey coldly said, “You have to take responsibility for this. You’ve stirred up fear throughout the whole city. Let’s see how you handle it.”

After saying this, Aubrey angrily stormed off.

As he passed Fang Hao, he looked at him, his eyes filled with revulsion and murderous intent.

Bang!

Aubrey left, slamming the door on his way out.

Fang Hao was puzzled, sensing the hostility towards him in Aubrey’s eyes.

Why are you glaring at me when you were arguing with Rebecca? I don’t even know you.

Could he think that I’ve cuckolded him?

But no, Aubrey was only Rebecca’s husband in name and nothing had actually happened between them.

So, he couldn’t be considered a cuckold, and most importantly, I didn’t cheat.

Seeing Fang Hao in a daze, Rebecca asked, “I heard you brought several hundred people into the city?”

News traveled really fast. He entered the city in the afternoon and by evening, Rebecca had already heard about it.

“Among them, 200 are assistant priests sent to the temple. The rest are my guards. I’m also afraid of the Faceless,” Fang Hao said helplessly.

“You can enter the city, but you have to control your men. If there’s any chaos in the city, I won’t consider any prior friendship,” Rebecca warned.

From her tone, it seemed like she was still upset about the previous argument.

Her words to Fang Hao were also somewhat forceful.

“Yes, I understand.” Fang Hao sat down and continued, “Has there been any progress in the plan against the Faceless?”

After hearing what the priestess had said at the temple, Fang Hao had some suspicions.

Calling someone over to the City Lord’s Mansion was likely because of injured city guards, hence calling the temple for medical assistance.

Therefore, Fang Hao went directly to the City Lord’s Mansion to inquire about the situation.

Fang Hao and Rebecca were in a partnership regarding the situation with the Faceless, and they would exchange some information with each other.

“It’s still about dealing with Lei Li,” Rebecca said, massaging her forehead.

“Lei Li? You made a move on him? How did it go? Did you get anything out of him?” Fang Hao continued to ask.

The fact that Lei Li was a Faceless was something that Fang Hao had informed Rebecca about before he left.

He didn’t expect them to have already taken action when he returned.

“Nothing. I underestimated Lei Li’s power in the city. Even though I had prepared enough people in advance, he still managed to escape in the end,” Rebecca said helplessly.

Upon entering the city, the city guards mentioned that the west district had been sealed off. This and the priestess mentioning someone at the City Lord’s Mansion was injured were all related to their attempt to capture Lei Li.

Even though Rebecca had prepared thoroughly, Lei Li still managed to escape during the capture process.

Not catching such a rogue was a risk to the whole city.

Who knew what he would do when he went mad.

“What’s the plan now?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
