Chapter 1041: Chapter 650, Li Rong and Xu Haide
It must be Xu Haide.
While in Chinatown, he had carefully inquired about Xu Haide’s appearance.
And the person across the street, fit all the described features perfectly.
Xu Yuanhang felt a surge of joy, just as he was about to run over, his steps suddenly halted.
He saw that two more people descended from the carriage.
Those Wakoku men.
Xu Yuanhang clenched his fists with gritted teeth, trembling with anger all over.
He had never expected that they would find Xu Haide even before he did.
Their lighthearted conversation further fueled his anger.
Why, aren’t you a representative of the Federation? How could you be so cozy with these thieving beasts!
Xu Yuanhang forcibly suppressed his urge to act and retreated back to the dark alley, silently waiting for the other party to make their move.
Now that he had seen them, it was time to end this.
…
“Going to Silver Wing City?” Fang Hao asked somewhat surprised.
After listening to Ma Tianyi’s story.
He also inquired about Bai Xuan regarding that Xu Yuanhang.
If he really came to Lyss City to find him, he could arrange for him an empty city to develop.
As for taking revenge on his behalf.
It needed to be reconsidered.
The tragedy of transmigrators happened every day.
It wasn’t something he could help with just because he wanted to.
He was now a City Lord, responsible for the entire territory.
Being too kindhearted would only drag him down, exposing everyone in the territory to danger.
But upon asking, he heard that the other party had gone to Silver Wing City again.
His own reputation in Lyss City was quite significant, so why go to Silver Wing City again?
He felt somewhat puzzled. What support did they expect to find in Silver Wing City?
“Yes, Bai Xuan said, he went to the Federal Conference in Silver Wing City, to tell them about his issue, hoping that they would help him take revenge,” Ma Tianyi continued to explain.
That’s right, seeking the Conference was like seeking the authorities, but the Federal Conference was like the imperial palace, without a referral, he probably couldn’t even get in!
“What’s the situation now? Is anyone taking care of it?” Fang Hao continued.
Ma Tianyi looked at the Book of City Lord and then shook his head, “Uh, the person has disappeared, can’t be contacted.”
Ah, this…
In this place, even if one dies, there’s nowhere to look.
“Boss, Bai Xuan sent this message for you,” Ma Tianyi handed the Book of City Lord over.
Fang Hao took it and read the content.
“Fang Hao Boss, Xu Yuanhang just graduated from university and is stubborn with straightforward thinking. He always brings up your name in the Alliance, considering you his role model. If Boss, you can find him, I hope you could look after him to prevent him from doing something foolish.”
Looking at the other party’s words, Fang Hao’s eyebrows were still furrowed.
Whether or not he was seen as a role model was hard to say, but it was obvious that Bai Xuan was quite concerned about this person.
Disappearing suddenly after coming out.
It was indeed easy to make people assume the worst.
Fang Hao thought for a moment and then said, “Tell her I’ll have someone over there keep an eye out, but I can’t make any promises about the outcome.”
Ma Tianyi nodded, replying with the message.
“Bai Xuan says thank you. The Alliance won’t forget this favor,” Ma Tianyi relayed.
“No need, we’re all fellow countrymen out here,” Fang Hao said.
“Yeah, I’ve sent it,” Ma Tianyi replied.
No longer paying attention to Ma Tianyi and Bai Xuan’s conversation.
Fang Hao also took out the Book of Lords and sent a message to Li Rong.
Asking her to pay attention to ‘Xu Yuanhang,’ who had gone to petition in Silver Wing City and would definitely go to Chinatown.
It would be difficult for him to get in touch anywhere else.
As long as he was still alive, he shouldn’t be hard to find.
Li Rong sent back an ok.
Indicating she understood.
…
Night fell, and the streets gradually returned to tranquility.
Shops closed their doors, and pedestrians hurried to their homes.
But tonight, Longteng Yanyan was unusually bustling.
The first and second floors had been booked by Li Rong of the Mage Association to entertain guests from the city, as well as the transmigrators.
The seats were filled with guests, and the atmosphere was lively.
The largest private room upstairs was taken by Xu Haide, a saint of the church.
He too was hosting honored guests.
Shi He Ming stood by the window, looking down at the lively scene below and asked with a smile, “Mr. Xu Haide, who is that woman who can gather so many transmigrators?”
Even though Xu Haide was a transmigrator representative elected by the Conference.
It seemed that the woman downstairs had a higher prestige.
All the transmigrators were gathered around her.
Xu Haide’s eyes slightly narrowed, glancing indifferently, and said, “From the Mage Association, she opened a shop in the city, today’s her grand opening. She’s inviting guests and accepting gifts!”
Today, he was in a rather good mood.
The Dawn Blue Coral he gave to the Archbishop indeed earned him praise.
It wasn’t that the Archbishop lacked such an item, but it felt like Xu Haide had been considerate.
But coming to the restaurant and seeing Li Rong’s high prestige, as if half of Chinatown was present.
His good mood instantly disappeared.
Upon hearing that it was just a store opening, Shi He Ming lost interest in the matter.
In this world, if you don’t focus on developing your own strength, but still have time to open a store and socialize.
Women will be women.
Sitting back down at the table, Shi He Ming raised his glass and said, “Haha, let’s not worry about them. Mr. Xu Haide, I toast to you, hoping that we can collaborate more in the future. The resources at sea are indeed very rich.”
“Haha, certainly,” Xu Haide laughed and drank it down.
As they drank and talked, a bit of drunkenness arose.
Xu Haide, feeling delighted, called for the women available in the restaurant to join them for drinks and conversation, filling the room with laughter and chatter.
…
On the second floor, a figure dined while occasionally glancing towards the private room on the third floor.
After seeing those Wakoku men, Xu Yuanhang hadn’t left.
He followed them to this restaurant.
It was discovered that there was a store opened by a transmigrator, where he held a banquet for other transmigrators.
So he changed his clothes and blended in with the crowd.
It was also an opportunity to fill his stomach.
On the third floor in a private room, numerous Holy Temple guards stood watch, making a direct assault seem unlikely.
Therefore, he waited for the right moment.
He was determined to ensure the death of those beasts, even if he couldn’t make it out alive.
The sound of hurrying the dishes along came from the third floor.
Xu Yuanhang stood up, took three militiamen with him, and went to the back to change into the clothes of a server.
…
“Sister Li, this Xu Yuanhang had indeed been seen at Chinatown these past few days,” a beer-bellied man sitting opposite said to Li Rong.
Could it be this easy to find?
Just a casual question, and there was already a clue?
“Where is the man?” Li Rong asked.
The beer-bellied man reminisced for a moment and said, “I heard he was seeking revenge for his subordinates, looking for Xu Haide.”
“Xu Haide?” Li Rong subconsciously glanced towards the third floor.
She also knew who Xu Haide was entertaining on the third floor.
The entrance was guarded by Holy Knights, as if they feared dying a second time.
“Yes, he said his territory was in the coastal regions and was slaughtered by the Sea Tribe and Wakoku people. He came looking for Fang Hao but didn’t find him. Then he heard Xu Haide became the representative of the transmigrators, so he went to find Xu Haide. I don’t know if he succeeded,” the beer-bellied man continued.
“Damn, how could Xu Haide compare to Fang Hao?” Li Rong swore subconsciously.
The man looked puzzledly at Li Rong, then agreed, “He’s indeed far inferior to Fang Hao.”
“Alright, I’ve heard enough. Notify others for me. If you see Xu Yuanhang again, tell him to come to Fairy Dream Tower and look for me. I will help him out,” Li Rong went on.
Since Xu Haide appeared here, it also meant Xu Yuanhang hadn’t found him yet.
Just let him come to her in the next couple of days.
She would also be able to accomplish the task Fang Hao had assigned her.
“Understood. The moment he shows up in Chinatown, I’ll personally deliver the message to you,” the man promised.
“Good job!”
…
Inside the private room on the third floor.
Shi He Ming and his companions were surrounded by a group of women covered in thin veils.
Drink after drink poured down; it sure felt great to be among the Human Clan.
In the territory of the Sea Tribe, not only was the status of humans low, but even when one wanted to vent, one couldn’t find a place to do it with those Sea Tribe women.
Creak—!
Just then, the door to the room opened, and a server with drinks stepped in.
Belch!
Shi He Ming let out a belch, gesturing absentmindedly, “Just put them down over there.”
But the server, as if he hadn’t heard, kept pushing forward with the bottle in hand.
Shi He Ming was bewildered by the server’s behavior and glanced up.
His brow furrowed instantly.
The face of this man looked somewhat familiar, and those eyes looking back at him were bloodshot.
They were filled with rage and hatred.
Shi He Ming’s heart tightened; this was not the gaze of a server.
It looked more like the grudge of one who had lost a father or a wife to murder.
“Who are you?” Shi He Ming bellowed.
Xu Yuanhang no longer hid his intent, pulling out a short sword from his sleeve and thrusting straight at Shi He Ming.
Shi He Ming, in a panic, quickly pushed the woman in his arms towards the assailant.
With that delay, Shi He Ming rolled and crawled away, putting distance between them.
Around them, cries of pain erupted, as three servers drew swords and stabbed several of their companions.
In the ensuing chaos, everyone’s drunkenness cleared instantly.
Shi He Ming also immediately recognized who was attacking them, “It’s you!”
“You beasts, I’ll kill you,” he said, rushing forward with his sword once again.
Shi He Ming ran around the dining table, shouting loudly, “Mr. Xu Haide, save me!”
Xu Haide had just been startled himself.
He had thought the attacker had come for him and had almost jumped out the window to escape.
But now, looking at the situation, it wasn’t about him but was an attempt to kill Shi He Ming and the others.
With the Holy Temple guards coming in to protect him, he felt considerably safer.
Hearing the cry for help, he knew it was his time to act.
Puffing out his chest, he directly commanded, “Seize these assassins.”
The Holy Temple guards charged at the attackers.
Instantly, they subdued the few militiamen in disguise.
At the same time, Xu Yuanhang, who had charged at Shi He Ming, was kicked in the abdomen by a Holy Knight.
The immense force sent him flying out of the room.
Tumbling down the staircase all the way to the ground floor.
He rolled clumsily into the middle of the busy lobby.
In an instant, the lively lobby fell silent, all eyes turning to the rather disheveled figure on the floor.
Xu Haide stepped out of the private room with Shi He Ming and the others, glanced at the crowd below, and said, “This man committed murder in the private room, seize him.”
The Holy Temple guards immediately rushed down the stairs to apprehend the badly injured Xu Yuanhang.
Meanwhile, the beer-bellied man drew closer and whispered, “Sister Li, that’s Xu Yuanhang…”
“What?” Li Rong turned around.
“That’s Xu Yuanhang.”
Li Rong’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked down again.
Xu Yuanhang?
Wasn’t he looking for Xu Haide’s help?
Why was he attempting to assassinate Xu Haide then?
Shit, a kindred spirit.
Bang!
Just as Xu Yuanhang thought he was to be captured and then inexplicably dealt with, a loud explosion suddenly resounded.
Everyone turned to see Li Rong conjuring up another fire magic in her hand.
“Don’t touch him, or the next fireball will blow your head off,” she threatened.
