Chapter 888: Chapter 571, The Trade Alliance’s Questioning
Main City.
The four emerged from the teleportation glow, all somewhat disheveled.
When they had left, they were dressed in brocade and embroidered clothes, which were now stained with some blood and scars.
“Master, Anjia, what happened to you?” Eira, with a maid in tow, asked anxiously.
Fang Hao shook his head. “It’s nothing, go and have ‘Doujin’ shut down the Trade Alliance Teleportation Array, and without my permission, no one is to teleport here.”
“Yes, Master,” a maid hurried out.
...
Fang Hao continued, “Demitrija, put the whole city on defense mode, kill any strangers who enter the perimeter on sight.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Anjia, go notify Aseti and Meatfist that there will be a meeting at the lord’s mansion in half an hour.”
“And you?” Anjia asked.
“After this matter, the Trade Alliance will certainly investigate; who is right and who is wrong is hard to clarify. I’m going to call back the heroes from outside to prevent the Trade Alliance from underestimating us,” Fang Hao stated.
“Oh, shall I accompany you?” Anjia asked, somewhat uneasy.
Fang Hao smiled, “No worries, there’s no danger. You go treat your wounds first, then do as I instructed.”
“Okay!”
Everyone dispersed according to their assigned tasks.
Fang Hao released the teleportation glow once more, disappearing from the spot.
…
Within Blood Castle…
Fang Hao had just appeared when footsteps echoed from a corridor on one side.
With a tall figure dressed in black stockings, Rolana, and another in golden armor adorned with a lavish mask, Amanda, came walking in back and forth.
“You really treat this place like your own home, eh? Coming and going as you…” Rolana began to sneer but on seeing Fang Hao’s disheveled appearance, she forgot the rest of her sentence.
Instead, she asked somewhat surprised, “What happened to you?”
Amanda also turned her attention to Fang Hao.
With the current strength of the territory, Fang Hao, as a lord, should not have been so disheveled.
Especially since no news had come through about any war breaking out.
Fang Hao dusted off the dust on his clothes and said, “Don’t ask, wasn’t it the Trade Alliance’s auction today? I planned to see if I could buy some useful items for everyone, but I encountered people from the Dragon Clan. They attacked me without a word. After a brief fight, I used teleportation to return first.”
After hearing his brief explanation, the two understood the situation.
“I heard the people of the Dragon Clan are greedy and domineering. Were they eyeing something you bought?” Amanda asked curiously.
Fang Hao explained, “It seems they have some method; they knew I had taken the Demon Dragon Potion.”
Uh, …
The two fell silent.
This kind of matter isn’t so easy to judge.
The Dragon Clan is protective.
Protecting their clan members is, in a sense, a responsibility of the race.
But sometimes the Dragon Clan’s protection can be unreasonably overzealous.
Greedy, some of the Dragon Clan have attempted looting and got injured in retaliation.
In such cases, the Dragon Clan still shelters and favors their own kind, even irrationally seeking revenge.
Fang Hao’s situation was tricky to assess.
Firstly, he had indeed killed people from the Dragon Clan, or rather, a prestigious Dragon Clan hero, and had turned their bodies into Living Dead and Undead.
Secondly, it happened in the Trade Alliance’s territory, which complicates matters with the Alliance.
In short, the situation was relatively complex.
“Then, my lord, what do you suggest?” Amanda continued to inquire.
Fang Hao said, “The Dragon Clan’s retaliation won’t come immediately, but the Trade Alliance will likely pursue this matter soon. I’ve come to fetch both of you so we can hear out the Trade Alliance’s stance and make sure they don’t take us lightly.”
The territory’s two Dark Gold Heroes.
All in Blood Castle, so these two women, being the territory’s strongest face, others might not go, but they must.”
“Why do we have to go over this mess you started?” Rolana raised her leg, giving Fang Hao a disdainful glance.
Fang Hao was prepared for Rolana’s attitude.
He said softly, “Lately, I acquired a few Goblin Aerial Ships, quite excellent as vehicles and quite lovely once decorated, thinking of allocating a few to heroes who have contributed to the territory, the selections haven’t been decided yet!”
Rolana’s eyes slightly lit up, bringing her long leg down, “Cough! Let’s go, the sooner we leave, the sooner we return.”
Amanda didn’t say much, simply stood up.
Fang Hao released the teleportation glow and departed with the two women.
Afterward, he went to other territories, fetching a few more Orange Tier heroes.
…
7 PM.
Inside the lord’s hall.
Fang Hao sat at the head of the table.
Below him was a gathering of heroes he had fetched this time.
To his left sat ‘Dark Gold Tier 5 – Rolana’, ‘Orange Tier 8 – Demitrija’, ‘Orange Tier 7 – Aseti’, and ‘Blue Tier 9 – Anjia’.
To his right was ‘Dark Gold Tier 6 – Amanda’, ‘Orange Tier 7 – Nelson’, ‘Orange Tier 3 – Meatfist’, along with two later-made Orange Tier Dwarf heroes.
The living and undead, each sat on opposite sides.
As for Purple Tier Bellerga, Dark Elf Morse, Dragon Clan’s Living Dead Spencer, and some other heroes, Fang Hao did not call them over.
Morse and Spencer, appearing in front of outsiders would be like inviting trouble.
And heroes like Bronze Bull and Bellerga, being stationed in their respective areas, were also not convenient to come over.
But this was enough.
The line-up before him was already in no way inferior to any top power.
Proving their strength, without directly engaging in battle, was sufficient.
“Today’s incident at the Trade Alliance unfolded as such, by tomorrow the people from the Alliance will likely come calling us to account. When the time comes, everyone just needs to step forward,” Fang Hao said with a smile.
The gathered heroes nodded slightly, indicating their understanding.
