Rebecca spoke with a slight hint of resentment, and there was a hint of fatigue in her face.
Fang Hao didn’t care about her blame.
“Ah! There’s nothing I can do, the client won’t provide board and lodging, I am leaving first thing tomorrow and can only save one day’s food and lodging costs.”
A slight smile appeared on Rebecca’s face at Fang Hao’s teasing.
She rolled her eyes at him.
He made it sound as if she had mistreated him, and was saddling her with the matter.
“Okay, you’re not just here to complain about the food and lodging fees today, are you?” Rebecca asked about Fang Hao’s intentions.
Fang Hao didn’t want to waste too much time.
He opened his backpack directly and took out all the jewelry inside.
During the journey, these items were stored in a storage space.
Here, in order not to cause trouble, they were put into the backpack.
“The accessories for the dress are ready, I came here today to let you try them on, once we confirm they’re good, I’ll then proceed with the final production.” “So soon?” Rebecca said with some surprise.
Jewelry is different from clothing.
Jewelry making, metal melting and engraving, are all very time-consuming tasks.
One piece of jewelry worn by nobles is invaluable, not just for craftsmanship and materials.
It also includes the time consumed by the process.
“I have many craftsmen working for me, so the piecework production is a bit quicker.” Fang Hao explained indifferently.
There are 101 gold carvers in his territory.
Not only are they numerous, but their craftsmanship is also extremely close to each other.
There would not be a big difference in their skills.
“Well, let’s see how it turns out then?” Rebecca stood up, a look of anticipation in her eyes.
She had high hopes for Fang Hao’s design.
Throughout these years, his works provided the only innovation and breakthrough.
She ordered a maid to bring a full-length mirror.
Rebecca emerged from behind her desk and stood in front of the mirror.
Seeing that the maid had no intentions of helping her, Fang Hao stood up, picked up the jewelry on the side, and stood behind her.
As soon as he approached her, he could smell the faint fragrance from Rebecca.
Her light blue leisure dress could not hide her graceful figure, the collar of her dress was a deep V, revealing her enticing cleavage.
Fang Hao put the blue necklace inlaid with blue gemstones around her neck.
The white neck and the blue necklace made from sapphires complemented each other very well.
With Rebecca standing in front of the mirror, she was subtly swaying from side to side, looking at herself in the mirror.
She nodded subconsciously.
Even though it was just a fitting, and many steps were still incomplete.
However, the overall effect of the set of accessories was already on display, exuding a feeling of lavish elegance.
A pleasant feeling welled up in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw Fang Hao, staring at her. She struck up a conversation, “Did you hear, there’s been quite a commotion in Pruell City recently.”
Lyss city and Pruell city are neighboring cities, so they pay close attention to each other’s news.
“Yes, indeed.” Fang Hao responded casually.
“Cyril has participated in many Federation battles and made outstanding contributions to humanity, so it’s unexpected that he died at the hands of the Blood Clan.” said Rebecca with a hint of sigh.
Tavek was elected as city lord.
He had reported the situation of Pruell city to the Federation.
He attributed the death of Cyril to an attack by the Blood Clan and provided some evidence.
It seems that Rebecca had also received the news, otherwise, she would not have mentioned Cyril.
Rebecca continued to put on her bracelets and earrings, her smile becoming more radiant.
How beautiful!
She couldn’t help but exclaim in her mind.
“Will humans go to war with the Blood Clan?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
If humans started a war directly with Crescent Heights over this matter, it would indeed be troublesome.
Then humans would directly attack Crescent Heights, wouldn’t that mean his stationed army would have to fight?
“It’s difficult! Even though there is a formal agreement between humans and the Blood Clan, some Blood Clan can’t control themselves and frequent attacks on humans still happen.” Rebecca gave Fang Hao a glance, “The murderer has already been executed by Tavek, the Federation should issue a warning to the Blood Clan, the likelihood of war is small.”
Fang Hao nodded but didn’t say anything.
It would be better if there was no war.
When the warning arrived at Crescent Heights, he would have his people accept it and it would pass.
That would save him a lot of trouble afterward.
Now that all the accessories were fitted, they made Rebecca look even more regal and dignified.
“I really like them, these accessories are very creative and beautiful.” Rebecca happily nodded.
She wished she could wear the custom-made dress alongside the set of jewelry right now.
“I’m glad you like them, sowhen I get back, I’ll arrange for the final pieces to be made.” said Fang Hao.
“Okay, start making them.” Rebecca removed the jewelry with a bit of reluctance.
Fang Hao took the jewelry from her and packed them all away.
After the jewelry fitting session was over.
Fang Hao was just about to leave.
Thump, thump, thump!!
Just as he was about to say goodbye to Rebecca, hurried knocking sounds were heard from outside the door.
The door opened.
A guard dressed as a warrior walked in and gave Fang Hao a wary look.
“Madam, the guard team is back and they have brought back several corpses, they’re asking if you would like to take a look.”
On hearing the guard’s words, Rebecca’s expression turned serious instantly.
“Let’s go, let’s take a look.”
Then, she completely forgot about Fang Hao as she briskly followed the guard out of the room.
Fang Hao stood awkwardly in place.
He couldn’t stay here, so he had no choice but to follow them out.
Walking down the long corridor together.
In his mind, he thought that after leaving the lord’s mansion, he would say goodbye to Rebecca and then head back to where he was staying.
However, after hearing what the guard reported back, Fang Hao developed an interest in the case.
Despite the guard speaking in a low voice.
He still heard about the abduction of a special group of people.
As he left the lord’s mansion and was planning on continuing to follow them,
He was stopped by the guards.
Without saying much, Fang Hao simply nodded and went straight out of the lord’s mansion courtyard.
He glanced in the direction Rebecca left and went straight back to the inn where he was staying.
After leaving the lord’s mansion,
Fang Hao went back to the inn with Anjia.
He gave Anjia a simple explanation before lying down on the bed.
The Skull Ash Sparrow beside him, after the Soul Fire lit in its pupils, flapped its wings and flew out the window under the cover of darkness.
Using the night as cover, it flew back to the sky above the lord’s mansion.
The lord’s mansion had a tight defense.
In addition to the guards on duty, there were also many hidden sentries.
Using the direction Rebecca left, Fang Hao began to search.
Soon, he found a brightly lit, large building.
Entering through a narrow vertical window at the top, he spotted Rebecca.
She was standing below, surrounded by guards.
When Fang Hao’s gaze found five corpses laid out on the ground, his heart pounded fiercely.
The grey-brown body bag had been opened.
Exposing the bodies that had been dead for quite some time.
All over the bodies were densely packed wounds that had turned into bloody scabs, revealing they suffered intense torture or abuse before death.
The corpses were both male and female, of different ages.
But they had one thing in common.
Black hair.
