“I know, boss, as long as you can rescue my girlfriend, nothing else matters.” Fu Lei replied.

Fang Hao didn’t expect, this kid takes his relationships seriously.

“Well then, go to the City Lord’s Mansion and find City Lord Cyril, tell him you’re one of my people, and ask him to protect your girlfriend.” Fang Hao thought for a while and repeated his instructions, “Stay calm and resolute, don’t mention anything else, understood?”

“Understood, boss, I’m going right now.”

Fu Lei closed the Book of Lords and staggered off toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

Two hours later.

Fang Hao, bringing Anjia, arrived at Pruell City.

He walked straight into the City Lord’s Mansion.

City Lord Cyril sat in the main seat, with the Home Minister and the Young Man with Acne sitting on his left, and a pair of black-haired and black-eyed young man and woman standing on his right.

The male had a buzz cut and was rather thin, while the female was slightly chubby and wore glasses, looking quite reserved.

Everyone here had Western features, so without question, the two were Fu Lei and his girlfriend.

The two stood there with their heads lowered, like students being punished.

The chubby girl, her face stained with tears, sobbed from time to time. Fang Hao sat down grimly in the empty space in front of the two, and before

Cyril could speak, he said, “Your Excellency, is there something that I’ve done to offend you that such problems keep arising?”

City Lord Cyril had originally planned to smooth over things with his smiling face, but upon seeing Fang Hao’s expression, his smile immediately faded, and he said solemnly: “What do you mean by that, Mr Fang Hao?”

“I’d also like to know what this means, I just come to Pruell City for a visit and someone seizes my woman, what’s the meaning of this?” Fang Hao asked

coldly.

What happened to Fu Lei was one thing, but Fang Hao was truly disappointed in this city.

He had originally thought that human rules and regulations would be more perfected, but it turned out to not necessarily be any better than the orcs’.

What was happening in front of him was as shameless as public robbery of a woman.

“It’S just a misunderstanding. To say that we’re kidnapping her is a bit extreme. My son just invited her over to his mansion. Didn’t we send her back safely?” The Home Minister calmly explained.

For his son’s mistakes, he had his own interpretations.

Fang Hao sneered, his gaze then shifted to Anjia, who was sitting with a leg perched on the other, looking amused.

“Anjia, how many garrison troops are in our territory?” Fang Hao suddenly asked.

“Huh? Half a million in the main city, why?”

Hearing this number, the faces of Cyril and the Home Minister changed immediately.

The residents of Pruell City amounted to only around ten thousand people, so when Anjia mentioned half a million garrison troops, it seemed an impossible number.

Fang Hao’s gaze swept over Cyril and then landed on the Home Minister, “I can tell you now, if I decide to kill you and your damned son, you won’t live to see tomorrow’s sun. So stop testing my patience, understand?”

“What are you talking about? This is Pruell City, do you dare to start a war?” The Home Minister retorted.

“Start a war? City Lord Cyril, do you think making this decision is right?” Fang Hao sneered, looking at Cyril.

Cyril’s face was equally ugly, he hadn’t expected the situation to escalate this much.

Moreover, the Home Minister’s behavior was a great disappointment to him.

Could war be declared so casually?

Due to his son forcibly taking a woman on the streets, considering declaring war with the neighboring city, this would likely be greatly disapproved by the soldiers in the city.

Cyril’s face darkened as he scanned the room.

“Bring him in.”

Two guards entered from outside, “Your Excellency.

“Bernard has forcibly taken a woman in broad daylight, lock him in the dungeon for further investigation.” Cyril stated solemnly.

“No, no, City Lord Uncle, he’s just a fishmonger, not…” The Young Man with Acne panicked as the guards escorted him out, loudly pleading for mercy.

“Take him away.”

The guards dragged him out.

“Your Excellency, what is the meaning of this? The matter hasn’t been thoroughly investigated yet, and you’ve already begun making arrests,” The Home Minister protested loudly.

“I will arrange for an investigation later. You’ve been busy lately, so take a break and stay out of the city affairs for a while,” Cyril continued.

At these words from Cyril, the Home Minister went pale.

He knew exactly what this implied.

Although he hadn’t directly dismissed him from his position, it reflected the intention, and if he displeased Cyril again, he might lose his position.

Given his family’s reputation, once dismissed, they are likely to be killed.

Sweat trickled from his forehead, “I understand, Your Excellency.

Cyril nodded, turning to Fang Hao again, “Mr Fang Hao, are you satisfied with this outcome? Similar issues will not occur again in the future, and you will be able to conduct normal business in the city.”

“I’m satisfied. Let’s all remain peaceful and prosperous. Some things, I also don’t want to make unnecessarily complicated.” Fang Hao finally showed a smile.

“Haha! Good, let’s put this matter behind us. I will arrange for an investigation into Bernard, you can rest assured about that,” Cyril said.

“Hmm.” Fang Hao nodded.

After today, Cyril would likely lightly punish the Young Man with Acne, which was something Fang Hao could anticipate.

The Young Man with Acne has not really provoked him, so it was not necessary to escalate things to the point of war.

Teaching him a lesson so he dares not act recklessly, Fang Hao felt that it was not worth his trouble to meddle any further.

After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion.

Fu Lei dashed over to Fang Hao, knelt down in thanks, “Thankyou, boss, thank you for saving us.”

Fu Lei’s girlfriend, named Xin YaoYao, wore glasses and was not overweight, but she had a round face.

She too knelt down beside him, wiping away her tears as she expressed her gratitude.

Fang Hao was quite well-known, and was recognized within the regional channels.

“Enough, get up. You two are quite lucky to have each other’s company after crossing worlds,” Fang Hao said.

Once they stood up, Fu Lei handed over the Book of Lords, “Boss, if you hadn’t saved YaoYao, I would not have wanted to continue living. You’ve saved our lives, so we would like to become your affiliated territory.” The couple had agreed on this matter before; If Fang Hao could help save YaoYao, they were willing to become his affiliated territory.

“Don’t rush, let’s first take a look at your territory.”

Fu Lei’s territory location and development level were still unclear.

The only thing they knew was that it was located to the south of Pruell City. If his territory had nothing appealing and not even contiguous, Fang Hao did not plan to make him his affiliated territory.

“Ok,” Fu Lei nodded in agreement.

The group left the city gate, with Fang Hao and Anjia seated on the giant lizard, while Fu Lei and Xin YaoYao were placed on the cargo rack at the back.

Although they sat on a hard wooden board, the ride was quite smooth on the giant lizard, and there was no need to worry about any bumps on the road.

About an hour after departing from Pruell City.

They finally arrived at Fu Lei’s city.

A Level 4 city.

“Boss, please follow me..”
