Chapter 972: Chapter 605, Playing with Fire, Woman (Added for Alliance Hierarch ‘Angel’s Trajectory’).
In this period, the council conducted a meticulous investigation into Lyss City.
Rebecca also paid close attention and responded to everything accordingly.
Now that the front lines had started to recall some personnel, Rebecca, who played a significant role in achieving the alliance with the Blood Clan, was naturally not forgotten.
This time, Silver Wing City informed Rebecca that she could come over to discuss this matter.
As the City Lord of Lyss City, Fang Hao naturally had to go as well.
“Didn’t everyone agree on this before? What’s there still to discuss?” Fang Hao asked curiously.
...
Back then, the Hall of Justice said whoever could solve the problem would be nominated to the Upper Senate.
Now that Rebecca had resolved it, in the end, there was another discussion.
Rebecca maintained a calm demeanor as she explained, “The composition of the council is itself very complex, involving the interests of multiple parties, so any decision is very… well, very cautious.”
“So that means the nomination to the Upper Senate is just that, a nomination. Whether I can get into the Upper Senate still requires the council to discuss it again!”
“Correct, and there will be significant obstacles during the negotiation. Be prepared for the possibility that you may not enter the Upper Senate,” Rebecca continued.
From start to finish, it was Rebecca explaining to Fang Hao.
The other officials remained silent, listening on the side.
They must have already discussed these issues before Fang Hao’s arrival.
Fang Hao nodded, signaling he understood, “What are your thoughts?”
Rebecca remained composed, “A single nomination is already a rarity from the past. We need to head there in advance and do our utmost to promote this matter. I plan to expend a portion of funds to make a concerted effort.”
Fang Hao understood what Rebecca meant.
This matter wasn’t absolutely hopeless regarding becoming part of the Upper Senate, they needed to make advance moves.
To lobby those whose stances were not firm and get them on his side.
Ultimately, to have the council’s vote in favor of him becoming a member of the Upper Senate.
This was possible, and he also had the funds needed.
Spending money for a position would greatly benefit his future development.
“Okay, when do you plan to leave?” Fang Hao asked.
Rebecca answered, “Tomorrow…”
“That soon?”
“It’s the council that’s in a hurry, and we need time to prepare. Do you have any issues with the timing?” Rebecca asked.
One concern on the schedule coincided with the negotiations in Furious Lion City.
He was slightly worried about Anjia.
But it shouldn’t be a big issue, he could just instruct Anjia, and with the Bronze Bull and ‘Shinisara’ around, there shouldn’t be any serious problems.
Moreover, he didn’t take such a small place as Furious Lion City seriously.
If he wanted to, he could seize it at any time.
After making up his mind, he nodded in agreement, “I have no issues, we’ll go together then.”
“Good!” Rebecca nodded.
Having confirmed the departure time with Fang Hao, Rebecca then instructed the officials present on various duties,
Especially now that it was spring, when all the work formally began.
After getting things clear with the officials, Rebecca continued, “Alright, that’s all for now. You can go back.”
The officials rose, saluted the two, and then left the room.
Watching everyone leave,
Fang Hao stood up and walked across the room.
Rebecca’s gaze sharpened as she stopped the approaching arm with her hand.
She gave a twist at his waist.
Then she pointed towards the open balcony.
Through the balcony, one could see a graceful figure, looking at the moon while occasionally taking a sip of wine.
Damn, there’s still someone hiding there.
Luckily, I didn’t say anything just now.
It was a close call… almost blew my cover.
“You two chat, I’m going to tell the Defense Commander about patrolling while I’m away,” Rebecca said as she stood up and walked out.
As she left, she patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
The room fell silent again.
Fang Hao stood still, observing the slender figure with regret for not bringing Demitrija.
If that woman suddenly made a move, he wondered if his current defenses could hold off until he could teleport away.
After pondering for a moment,
He still stepped forward, heading to the balcony.
A gentle breeze, carrying a hint of coolness, blew past.
Fang Hao sat down on the side with the blanket, took out a wine cup from his storage space, “Why didn’t you go back to Blood Castle?”
Rolana gave him a glance, then looked down at the flowerbeds in the courtyard, her tone even, “What’s there to do? There’s no one left there now.”
The people of Blood Castle had all been transferred out; it was indeed empty now.
Plus, Rolana, cold in demeanor, was extremely afraid of being alone.
Whenever she was not in hibernation, she would come to Lyss City.
Either to meet with Rebecca or dress up like a dandy and spend the night drinking in a nearby tavern.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Hao tactfully offered, “If Blood Castle is desolate, you can stay at my place. Your room is also kept for you and there are more people there, it would be lively.”
“Aren’t those little bunnies afraid of me?” Rolana retorted, taking another sip of wine.
“Uh… they are timid, so try not to scare them on purpose, alright?”
Fang Hao picked up the wine jug lying on the ground, poured himself a cup.
He drank it down in one go; it was a regular fruit wine, sour and sweet.
Suddenly, he remembered he still had the ‘Dragon Village Dream’ he purchased from the ‘Succubus Tavern’ that he hadn’t drunk.
