Chapter 408: Chapter 383, Gathering Information_1
Outside the city, in the manor.
A thick fog quickly covered the entire estate.
The bright torches, too, slowly extinguished upon touching the fog.
“Why is the fog so thick?”
“What on earth is happening!”
Everyone was in a panicked disarray.
Meanwhile, Demitrija took advantage of the fog, leading a small group quickly into the manor.
They clashed with the members of the mercenary group.
The mercenaries were few in number to begin with, faceless, bait to lure Fang Hao.
In just a few minutes, the guards outside the building were wiped out by Demitrija’s men.
The surroundings were finally cleared.
Demitrija directly pushed the door to the residence open.
Swoosh!
The moment the door opened, an arrow immediately followed, shooting out.
Demitrija tilted his head slightly, avoiding the arrow with ease.
Inside the room, there were six mercenaries left.
They were huddled together, forming the final defense formation.
In the center of the formation, stood a red-haired man wielding a longsword, clad in heavy armor.
The red-haired man stared coldly at Demitrija.
Seeing the robust tail revealed behind him, the man’s eyes flickered.
Lizardmen!
In his mind, he was recalling when he had become enemies with this Lizardman.
Wondering what caused him to launch an assault against his group in the middle of the night.
After thinking it over, he couldn’t recall any memory involving Lizardmen.
He asked coldly, “Who are you, sir? We seem not to have offended you. Is there some misunderstanding here?”
The current situation did not allow for an investigation of who was right and who was wrong.
Only by resolving this conflict could the remaining six of them survive.
Demitrija’s vertical pupils coldly swept over the rest.
“Who did you receive this task from?” Demitrija asked.
The red-haired man frowned slightly, seeming to realize something.
It seemed these people weren’t targeting him but the ones who had hired him.
“If I tell you, will you let us go? One piece of information you’re interested in, in exchange for six lives. It’s a good deal!” the red-haired man said again.
Apart from the confidential information from the task hall,
For the tasks received personally, it was difficult for mercenaries to preserve the secret.
But they had to confirm the exchange condition before informing the other party.
He thought the Lizardman would agree.
But the Lizardman in front of him just shook his head and issued the order directly: “Kill them all.”
A huge wave of fighters then rushed in and began to besiege the six without saying a word.
Not 10 minutes later,
They had all been killed, leaving no survivors.
“Search this place then prepare to leave.” Demitrija continued to give orders. Everyone began to search around.
They needed to leave before the city guards arrived.
…
Fang Hao released God’s Presence and awakened in the private room.
He was still lying on Anjia’s legs.
As for Anjia, she was eating while watching out for him, a variety of snacks, and fruits all placed on his belly.
Seeing Fang Hao wake up, Anjia asked curiously, “So, how did it go?”
“The matter has been resolved. We sit a while longer, then we’ll leave.” Fang Hao removed the various snacks on his belly.
“Ah? We’re leaving so soon.” Her big eyes turned round, and she continued, “What if I go down to play a couple of rounds, to help us win some money? I didn’t find the players to be all that competent.”
“None of that. In which casino do they allow customers to win? If you show promise, they will arrange new opponents, all set up in advance.” Fang Hao said it straight out.
“Besides, no matter how many people he arranges, if they can’t beat me, what can they do?” Anjia countered unyieldingly.
Fang Hao still shook his head, “We should play it safe this time. We mustn’t attract too much attention.”
Seeing that Fang Hao absolutely disagreed, Anjia had no choice.
All she could do was to pout and continue to eat the free pastries.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Just as they were about to leave after a while,
The room door was knocked again.
“Come in!”
The door opened, and the previously met woman walked down again, squeezing out a somewhat stiff smile, “Sir, you guessed correctly in the last match. Would you like to place another bet?”
“Bet, all the remaining money, all on the Red team to win,” Fang Hao continued.
“Okay sir, your previous capital plus rewards total 140 gold, all have been placed on the Red team,” the woman replied respectfully.
“Hmm!”
“Alright, I will not bother you and the lady anymore,” the woman said and slowly retreated.
But the door was not closed.
A delicate white hand stretched into the room a second before the door closed.
Immediately after, the door was opened.
A somewhat enchanting woman walked in.
Deborah.
“Mr. Fang Hao, would you mind if I came in and sat down?” Deborah’s voice contained a touch of seduction.
Fang Hao recognized Deborah, Lei Li’s woman.
Fang Hao had learned a bit about Deborah from Little You’s mouth.
Lei Li’s woman and also his right-hand.
Together with Lai Gou, they were Lei Li’s right-hand men.
Frequently accompanying some dignitaries, she extracted some intelligence from them.
It could be said, she was an expert in dealing with men.
“Oh, Miss Deborah, I didn’t expect we’d meet here, quite a surprise indeed,” Fang Hao said with a smile, wondering why she had come.
It was good she was here, the job was done.
Seeing Deborah here, he would also be able to prove that he had nothing to do with the fight outside the city.
