Chapter 719: Chapter 503, The Last Day of Parliant (Seeking recomndations, subscriptions…)_2
He plans to perfect his strategy before the council eting.
So that Groot would have no chance to implicate Rebecca.
Rebecca nodded, “Alright, it’s up to you now.”
The two of them interacted at length in the room.
Only when the maid knocked to announce that the bath water was ready did Rebecca push him away.
She rearranged herself and left the room.
…
Ti flew by.
The day of the official start of the council was tomorrow.
On the main road leading to the city’s central hall, the flags of the Human Federation and the blue and silver flags of Silver Wing City were hung.
The entire city was bustling, preparing for the most important Hundred Cities conference of the year.
Compared to the bustling Silver Wing City.
The temporary residence at Lyss City was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere.
First thing in the morning.
Rebecca left with a worried look on her face.
Inside the room on the third floor.
Fang Hao sat at the table, listening to his subordinates’ reports.
For the past few days, he had placed many spies in the city, using various thods to investigate Sander and Groot’s intelligence.
But they had no roots in Silver Wing City.
Although many people were sent out and a lot of money was spent, they still didn’t obtain any useful information.
He regretted not bringing the Cranial Rats with him.
Those little guys couldn’t do much, but they were top-notch at eavesdropping on human conversations.
After everyone finished their reports without any useful information.
Fang Hao waved his hand, telling everyone to go back for a al and rest.
He would think of another way.
Tomorrow is the start of the council eting, no matter what, they can’t let ‘Groot’ show the evidence from Lyss City.
Otherwise, both he and Rebecca will be put in danger.
“Well, I know where Groot is staying. If nothing else works out, I can only send him to et the grim reaper.”
The original plan was to eliminate the witnesses who ca from Lyss City and destroy the evidence.
Once the Lyss City delegation left Silver Wing City, Groot would be assassinated at the right ti.
But now this plan is difficult to carry out, if all else fails, he would just have to kill him directly.
After the murder, a fire would be started.
Ideally, even the evidence should be burned.
Just as Fang Hao was planning to take a huge risk that night.
The Book of Lords suddenly sounded an alert for a private chat.
Looking through it, it was a ssage from Li Rong.
“Fang Hao, I have news about Sander.”
After the last big fire, everyone was looking for Sander.
But these days, Sander seed to have disappeared off the face of the earth.
Unexpectedly, Li Rong now has news about Sander.
“Where is he?” Fang Hao asked.
Li Rong replied, “I am not sure about his current location, but I have intel that he will be smuggling so people into the city before the city gates close today. This is our good chance for revenge.”
Upon seeing this ssage, Fang Hao furrowed his brow.
Smuggler people into the city?
After pondering, Fang Hao continued to ask, “Which important person is he smuggling and what type of people into the city?”
Li Rong replied, “It should be so city’s nobleman. If they are getting Sander to do things for them, it must be sothing shady. I am not sure who they are smuggling. Boss Fang Hao, you must help . I will agree to whatever terms you have if he dies.”
Ignoring the hint hidden in her ssage,
Fang Hao was considering the intelligence ntioned by Li Rong.
Sander had always been ‘Groot’s’ henchman.
This ti, sneaking people into the city, could they be those five people who escaped from Lyss City?
He had assigned a large number of people these past few days and couldn’t find these five people.
It would actually make sense if Groot had kept these five people outside the city this whole ti.
They have no knowledge of Silver Wing City, any nearby small city or even a manor would make a suitable place to hide them.
Even if he had arranged for people to search, they wouldn’t be able to find any trace of them outside the city.
“Fang Hao? Are you there? If you don’t help , my business will really be ruined. You must help , please. I, Li Rong, will definitely be grateful.”
Seeing that Fang Hao didn’t respond, Li Rong seed a bit anxious.
There was a pleading tone in her voice.
Even if Fang Hao made so excessive demands now, Li Rong would most likely agree without hesitation.
In fact, Li Rong’s character is quite okay.
Aside from always hinting so things to him, she’s actually quite a responsible and strong woman.
“What are the details of the ti and place when Sander is bringing these people into the city?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
Perhaps his plan could still be executed.
Killing a thug with a criminal record is definitely less conspicuous than killing a would-be council mber.
Even if Sander dies, it wouldn’t make a big fuss in the city.
“According to the intel, it’s at dusk by the north gate, the exact ti, and identities are unclear; I have already arranged for people to stake out there.”
It’s still morning, but she has already positioned people for the stakeout.
Won really do hold grudges.
“Alright, I understand. Keep yourself in the city and don’t visit, so we won’t trace the death back to you when the ti cos,” Fang Hao instructed.
“Okay, thanks, Fang Hao. If Sander dies, I’ll accompany you for five days.”
“No need, try soone else.”
“No, no, my mistake.”
Fang Hao thought for a second and continued, “If you really want to thank , you can help with sothing.”
“Damn, I’ve given you a person, isn’t that enough? Why are you so clueless!” Li Rong sent another ssage, the words bristling with complaints.
“Li Rong, you’re a beautiful woman, go find a man. The nobles in the city are all at your beck and call,” Fang Hao said helplessly.
Li Rong was always too assertive in her words and actions.
Usually, he was the one to flirt with the ladies around him, but in the presence of Li Rong, he would end up sweating after a few words.
He didn’t even know what to say.
“I want to choose you. I won’t hold it against you, what are you afraid of?” Li Rong said again.
“I’m afraid of you. Now, I need to set up for Sander’s plan. I won’t chat for now.”
“Okay, make sure to keep updated.”
The two ended their chat.
Fang Hao imdiately asked to set up people to stake out the north gate.
This was his last chance.
If there were no follow-up plans regarding Sander,
Fang Hao would have no choice but to order an assassination on Groot.
…
The evening haze was thick and painted the sky crimson.
The North Gate was unusually bustling today.
It seed there were more people than usual, people even set up stalls by the gate.
They were hawking loudly.
At a grocery stall sowhat close-by,
The vendor was wiping his nose while loudly advertising his rchandise.
There were quite a lot of people here and soone would often ask about the price.
And every ti, they would curse the hawker for being greedy before turning to leave.
The vendor didn’t mind, he just smirked in response to the curses.
He didn’t say anything.
This ti, a man, clothed like a beggar, ca over and squatted down, gnawing on a piece of bread.
The two sat together, looking like two bored people having a chat.
The beggar asked in a low voice, “How is it?”
The vendor replied, “I didn’t see anyone. The business is good, I doubled the prices, otherwise I’d be out of stock.”
The beggar took another two bites of his bread.
“Enough, this is the sixth piece of bread I’ve eaten, I’m afraid I won’t be able to shit it out later.”
He didn’t know what was up.
There were quite a lot of good Samaritans today, always throwing him so money or buying him so bread.
He was so fed up with eating bread, he felt like throwing up.
He probably wouldn’t want to eat bread for a year.
The stall owner gave a small smile; he was quite lucky in comparison.
He whispered consolingly, “Just hang in there, they are about to close the city gates, and if no one shows up, we can go ho.”
These guys had all seen the images of the five people who had escaped from Lyss City, as well as Sander’s image.
Even if they disguise themselves when entering the city, with over a dozen eyes watching, no one can slip through.
As long as they dare to enter the city, they have confidence that they can recognize them.
And it was close to the ti when the city gates close.
At this ti, the residents who have been out for work would start to return back, and the people entering the city will be the most.
The two were chatting leisurely.
The old beggar’s gaze suddenly focused on a man and woman at the city gate.
These two were dressed as ordinary people but he recognized them, they were the targets of this operation.
His heart was overjoyed, but his face didn’t reveal anything abnormal.
He stood up, the stick in his hand knocked against a stone wall on the side, as if he wanted to knock off the dirt on it.
With those few knocks, nurous eyes turned towards the city gate.
