Chapter 397: Chapter 378, Blackfoot Cat Joins_1

“Fang Hao?

Upon hearing this na, all those present were slightly taken aback.

This young man with black hair and black eyes, who created designs for Rebecca and ran a hot pot restaurant and clothing store in the city, was quite ostentatious in his dealings.

Everyone directly or indirectly had heard this na.

But he was so high profile and not a local, people didn’t suspect him.

“Isn’t that lad from outside the city? How could he possibly be trusted by soone from here?” soone raised a doubt.

“Yeah, and going by appearance alone, this lad is one of the transmigrators. It’s quite unlikely to be him.”

“I’ve investigated Fang Hao. His coming and going from the City Lord’s mansion only pertains to taking so business orders. He hardly knows anything about Lyss City. It’s unlikely it’s him,” another person comnted.

“I received so special news. Fang Hao doesn’t like won. Despite his clean looks, he actually likes n.”

Everyone began to discuss and speculate based on Fang Hao’s known details.

Even though Fang Hao frequently entered and left the city lord mansion, it was not believed that he was aiding Rebecca.

The man in black at the head, upon hearing everyone’s conjectures-

Softly clapped his hands, halting the noisy discussion.

He began to speak, “I have so more detailed information. This Fang Hao has registered a rcenary group at the task hall. This ans he has a team of his own, fulfilling the conditions to aid clan leader Rebecca.”

Upon hearing this news, the people present fell silent.

They had not uncovered anything about the rcenary group.

Everyone fell into contemplation, but soone soon raised a question again.

“Fang Hao is an outsider trader, having his own convoy is normal. Judging him based solely on this point seems a tad far fetched,” sobody countered.

Outsiders rchants need to escort their rchandise.

Besides hiring rcenary groups, they would also have their own transportation squads.

Registering as a rcenary group during their free ti, to supplent their inco, was a practice of many.

Another person began, “I also went to investigate the rcenary group a few days ago. I didn’t discover this lad’s na on the register,” which led others to recall the rcenary group.

Capturing the naless one was not an easy mission, a trustworthy team with significant combat power, provoking necessary changes.

So thought about the rcenary group,

But after searching high and low, there was no significant clue to be found.

The leading man in black responded, “There’s no way to find any information related to his rcenary group in the task hall anymore. This is why I suspect him.”

Having heard this information, everyone once again fell silent.

The persons capable of hiding their rcenary group’s information were indeed few. The reason to hide was indeed worth the crowd’s suspicion.

With this, Fang Hao seed even more suspected by the crowd.

“I feel like we can capture this fabric rchant, we could prove whether he’s connected to this matter and also conduct the transmigration investigation,” soone proposed.

“I suggest we kill him directly. Regardless of his relatedness to this issue, we should dispose of him right away!” another person exclaid.

“No, Fang Hao has built up quite a reputation in the city. I received news that he just recently made a large donation to the temple. His death would have a huge impact on the city,” another stated.

“Then what should we do? He’s already under suspicion, but we can’t kill nor capture him,” soone asked.

As people started to voice their suggestions, each without an ideal solution-

The leading man in black spoke again, “Alright, enough chatter. Since we suspect him already, we must conduct a detailed investigation. I will count this as one task – whoever can accomplish it will gain the corresponding reward.”

Having said this, the man in black pulled out a blank order and swiftly scribbled down the task details on it.

He slid it into the center of the round table.

The noisy room once again quieted down. People looked at the order in the middle of the table but none made a move to take it.

After a while…

A rather stocky man in black spoke up, “I wouldn’t mind investigating this Fang Hao. However, I can’t guarantee whether he will end up dead or alive.”

“Alright. If it turns out to be him, whether he lives or dies is not important.”

“Fine. I will take on this task,” agreed the man, and then took the order.

In the ti that followed, everyone discussed the city’s situation and exchanged the information they had gathered.

Until late at night, the small secret eting gradually ca to an end.

People started leaving one after the other, and the shadows in the corners of the room started to stir.

After hesitating for a few seconds, it followed the direction the ‘lead man in the black robe’ had taken.

…

Next morning….

Fang Hao woke up from his dream like any other day.

After exercising around his territory, he had just returned to the Lord’s mansion when he saw Lorrey and an old Blackfoot Cat Orc sitting in the Great Hall.

“My Lord,” Lorrey quickly stood up to salute.

The elderly orc shuddered and also followed suit. Bending down, he saluted, “My Lord.”

This old orc was the Clan Leader of the Blackfoot Cat Tribe.

After hearing Lorrey’s account, he followed him to this territory.

That he saw the undead soldiers covering the mountains and plains made his fellow tribespeople feel uneasy.

But due to their trust in Lorrey, they still followed him into the city to et the City Lord.

However, they marveled at how the ordinary young man before them had any connection with the undead they saw outside the city.
