Chapter 404: Chapter 381, Pink Fox Tavern_2
If the targets of all Faceless could be identified, these guys are not that much of a threat after all.
Mr. Fang Hao could suppress them all with his martial power in an instant, or kill them directly to eliminate the future problems.
But they are like a swarm of mosquitos in the dark, they will only sting you when you’re not paying attention.
Though Fang Hao didn’t believe they had the ability to kill him or wanted to be their direct target.
“Alright, I’ll arrange a fairly good plan before taking action, do you have anything else about the Faceless?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
Little You said, “A few days ago, I followed Lei Li to attend one of Faceless meetings, and found out that the Faceless actually had a kind of ranking system. Each city has a leader, who is in charge of distributing tasks and consolidating task information, and the whole investigation on you was proposed by this leader.”
Fang Hao listened in silence as Little You spoke.
He only knew that the Faceless was an intelligence organization that infiltrated all walks of life, but he did not know much about the specific internal situation.
Also anything that Rebecca investigated wouldn’t be revealed to him.
Therefore, the rank, leader, and task distribution method that Little You mentioned were all news to him.
“Is the leader Lei Li?” Fang Hao asked.
Little You shook her head, “Not him. Lei Li is just a member. After the meeting, I tracked the leader and his carriage entered the City Lord’s Mansion. It can be confirmed he is someone from there.”
This…
The power center of the Lyss City and the leader of the Faceless were both at the City Lord’s Mansion.
This news was surprising to Fang Hao, yet it seemed reasonable.
“Can the identity be confirmed?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
“Not for the time being. He made his move very secretly. As he entered the City Lord Mansion, I lost my target. So, I haven’t found out his true identity yet.” Little You said awkwardly.
The amount of people living in the City Lord’s Mansion is not small.
Besides the City Lord’s family, there are various guards and servants. The number is also quite large.
It is hard to determine the enemy’s identity through guessing.
“By the way, you said last time that a higher-up from the Faceless was coming. Has he arrived?” Fang Hao suddenly remembered that Little You mentioned last time that a higher-up from the Faceless was coming.
“Not yet. His arrival time is still uncertain. But from Lei Li and their conversations, we can see that they attach great importance to him. He even has the ability to change the current situation in Lyss City and bring them greater benefits and safety guarantee.” Little You continued.
“Hmm, notify me immediately once there is intelligence. Also, take care of your own safety.”
Fang Hao was actually more interested in this foreign Faceless. He must be a hero-level figure to have the local Faceless take him so seriously.
The hostility shown by the Faceless against the transmigrators required serious attention, even though he felt safe for now.
Basically, there is no way for them to coexist peacefully anymore.
It’s a matter of who will be the first to show their hand.
“Alright my lord, also take care.”
Little You finished speaking and then disappeared into the night like scattered ink.
In Lyss City, Fang Hao was not worried about his safety.
As long as the City Lord’s Mansion does not want to get rid of him.
As for any assassination attempts, Demitrija and Rolana presence would be enough to ensure his safety.
…
The next day.
Fang Hao and Anjia took their time strolling through the city again.
At dusk.
As expected, the City Lord’s Mansion sent a message.
It was still Rebecca’s maid who strolled into Fang Hao’s room.
“Mr. Fang Hao, this is for you from the lady.”
Having said this, she handed over a map.
Fang Hao took a look at the location on the map. It was still a relatively secluded place outside the city.
Indeed.
If you set up an ambush, it won’t be in some place inside the city.
Obviously, it would be more suitable for them to arrange it outside the city.
“Alright, I got it. Tell Lady Rebecca we will leave the city on our own this time, no need to arrange a guide for us.” Fang Hao put away the map in his hand.
“Yes, sir, I’ll report exactly as you said.” The City Lord’s Mansion maid replied softly.
After sending away the maid.
Fang Hao looked at the map in his hand and pondered the strategy in his mind.
This operation was undoubtedly a trap laid by the Faceless.
Though he had already received news, Rebecca remained oblivious.
The next step was to act out a play, with the unsuspecting Rebecca cooperating to exclude himself.
…
Night, 9 o’clock.
The carriage arrived at West City, a bustling street.
Although night was setting in, there were still many wandering crowds on the street.
Pulling aside the carriage curtain, Fang Hao’s gaze landed on a building named ‘Powder Fox.’
This is a very famous pub under Lei Li.
In modern terms, it could be referred to as an entertainment club.
Alcohol was only a small part of the shop’s income, more came from the skin trade, the casino, and the underground fight club.
Fang Hao and Anjia got off the carriage.
They strutted down the street in West City.
All the shops on this street were under Lei Li control, a few closed shops had scantily-clad women standing out front.
They leaned against the wall, waiting for business to come.
Just as he stepped onto the street, a woman came straight over, “Sir, want a woman? We have all ages, guaranteed to make you satisfied…”
At this time, plus this location was perfect for this kind of business.
Fang Hao was young and well dressed.
He was easily mistaken for wealthy thrill-seekers, as well as their important customers.
Although Fang Hao continued walking, the woman still followed closely behind.
Nonstop babble from her mouth, “Sir, we have all ages of services, there are even soft-skinned young misses from noble families. Guaranteed to make you satisfied, the price is not expensive, you can choose anything from 50 gold coins to 500 gold coins.”
Fang Hao ignored her, took Anjia’s waist and carried on walking forward.
Such an action showed his intention, the woman sneered and stopped following Fang Hao.
Anjia allowed herself to be embraced by Fang Hao and hugged his shoulder like a big sister.
“It’s okay, I’m here. They won’t coerce you.”
“Thank you.” Fang Hao felt the softness on his shoulder.
The intimate actions of the two managed to fend off the women from both sides of the street.
They reached the entrance of the ‘Powder Fox’ pub.
A little girl walked over, “Sir, how about buying a bunch of flowers for your lady?”
Fang Hao looked at the little girl, who was just over a meter tall and simply dressed, and asked, “How much?”
“One silver coin, sir.”
Fang Hao took a silver coin from his pocket, put it in the girl’s hand, and casually took a bunch of flowers from the basket and handed it to Anjia.
Anjia took the flowers, glanced at them and said, “You’re not planning to spank me, are you? Besides, I don’t like these things. They’re not edible.”
Fang Hao rolled his eyes and told her not to keep saying weird things.
…
They entered the Powder Fox pub.
They were immediately met with a racket.
Just inside the door were rows of dense tables. In front of the tables, there was a stage made of wood.
Youths, scantily clad, were boldly writhing their bodies on the stage, intentionally and unintentionally exposing their secrets to the guests below the stage.
The red-faced, drunken guests were clapping and seemed willing to spend all their money here.
Fang Hao tightly held Anjia around her waist, and the approaching girls wisely halted their advance.
They turned around to find new customers.
The two of them walked to the stairway.
The Powder Fox had a casino on the second floor, a brothel on the third, and a concealed boxing ring in the basement.
That is, the legendary gamble fight, where you could get rich overnight or lose your life.
“Sir, this area is not open to the public.”
Two burly guards blocked Fang Hao’s way down to the basement.
