Chapter 359: Chapter 352, The Freakish Old Man_i
Fang Hao did not follow to participate in the ongoing raid on the warehouse. Given the identity of the Faceless, there surely wouldn’t be many enemies inside the warehouse.
With Demitrija leading over twenty fierce Reformed Mountain Bandits, the outcome of this battle is already decided.
Ending the battle is just a matter of time.
It’s no wonder Rebecca described this mission as easy with generous rewards. In such a small place, it wouldn’t hold a large number of men.
The sentries outside were killed one by one by the mountain bandits.
Within the warehouse, cries of pain could be heard.
About five minutes later.
A bandit emerged from the warehouse and quickly reported, “My Lord the battle is over. Four men in black robes have been subdued, and we’ve rescued a woman who was being interrogated.”
A woman was being interrogated? “What color is the hair of the woman being interrogated?” Fang Hao asked.
Golden, my Lord. She has a rather nice figure.”
Damn it, no one asked for that detail.
“Let’s go, lead me to see her.” Fang Hao answered.
As per their agreement, the city Lord’s guards had already left and were soon expected to arrive.
He needed to quickly gather some information about the Faceless before they reached.
The bandit nodded and led Fang Hao and Anjia into the warehouse and down a rope ladder to the basement.
Once down, the potent smell of blood permeated the room.
The basement wasn’t big.
Four men in black robes were kneeling directly in front; their hoods had been pulled off, revealing their faces.
Fang Hao didn’t recognize them, but their appearances and the finery underneath their robes suggested they were elite citizens of the city.
“Tend to his injuries briefly, let’s not let him die.” Fang Hao glanced at a man whose arms had been severed and who seemed to be on the brink of death.
A bandit stepped forward and haphazardly bandaged the bleeding man.
But it didn’t look very effective.
“You’re not with the City Lord’s guard, let’s make a trade. Let us go, and we’ll reward you with enough wealth to last a lifetime.” One man in a black robe exclaimed.
Though he didn’t recognize these people, he could affirm that they were not guards of the city.
“How much are you offering?” Fang Hao asked.
“Ten thousand gold coins. What do you say? That should be enough for your entire life.” The man continued.
Upon hearing this, some of the mountain bandits around Grey Bear appeared fascinated.
Ten thousand gold coins were no small amount.
“Ten thousand gold, do you really take us for kidnappers? Interrogate them note down their names and what they do.” Fang Hao responded coldly. “As you wish, my Lord.”
Grey Bear immediately moved in, delivering several hard slaps to each man’s face.
It was only after physically assaulting them that he started asking for their names and occupations. Any hesitation was met with a brutal beating. Fang Hao walked straight towards the golden- haired woman.
She was in her thirties, not particularly beautiful, but maintained herself well.
She had fainted due to her injuries.
From the looks of the dried blood on her wounds, she had been undergoing interrogation for a few days.
“My lord, have a look!” At this moment, Demitrija handed over a document.
Fang Hao took it; it was a record of the woman’s interrogation.
The woman’s name was Anshiel. According to the record, Anshiel’s father had combined Dwarf technology to create a form of ‘thunderfire’.
Anshiel made modifications to it and created a special form of ‘thunderfire’ which she named ‘dynamite’.
This kind of explosive was small and easy to carry. It didn’t need to be lit beforehand and could be ‘ignited’ by simply pulling a cord, making it usable right after being thrown.
The design plans are currently hidden under Anshiel’s bed…
The record stopped, presumably because Demitrija and his crew had stormed in during the interrogation.
Upon seeing the mention of dynamite, Fang Hao couldn’t help but suspect
Anshiel’s modifications to the thunderfire were probably suggested by a transmigrator.
Otherwise, even if she developed it herself, she wouldn’t have used that exact name.
However, as she was currently unconscious, there was no opportunity to question her.
Quickly using the Book of Lords, Fang Hao photographed the entire interrogation record for a detailed review later.
At this point, a bandit peeked down from the top of the warehouse and reported, “My Lord, the guards have reached the corner of the street.” Fang Hao nodded and immediately commanded, “Alright, let’s move out, we’ll leave the rest to the guards.”
After exiting the basement, they immediately departed.
Soon, the guards completely surrounded the area.
The four robed men with their limbs broken and the unconscious woman were taken from the basement and brought outside.
Meanwhile.
In the Western District, at the Red Maiden Tavern.
The largest tavern on the West District’s commercial street, with brothels on the second and third floors, and gambling tables on the fourth floor.
This place was the property of Boss Lei Li, where all money-making activities could be found.
Inside a private room on the top floor.
Underworld boss Lei Li was cradling a sensually naked woman in his arms.
‘Naughty Boss Lei Li, when you loaned me to that old man…You have no idea howperverted he can be.” The woman complained in a seductive tone.
She pretended to hit Lei Li’s chest with her delicate fist.
Lei Li laughed heartily, as his hands moved nonstop over the woman’s body and replied, “The old man is just impotent, not necessarily an old man, and I’ve heard that you’ve kept him in bed for several days. If I didn’t take you back, the poor guy probably won’t survive the week.”
“Hmph! Who’s spreading such nonsense? I’ll tear their mouth apart. I was only hastening so I could return to the lovely Lei Li.” The woman retorted.
“Haha! Good, it seems my attention for you wasn’t wasted.” Lei Li’s smile faded as he continued, “Have you found out the information you were supposed
