Chapter 409: Chapter 383, Inquiring about the News _2

“Oh my! I didn’t expect Mr. Fang Hao to know me, that’s really delightful!” Deborah said sweetly, gently closing the door and sitting down on the sofa.

“Hehe, which man in the city doesn’t know Miss Deborah’s name.” Fang Hao continued curiously, “Why, do you also have an interest in fights?”

“That’s your men’s hobby, why would I like it?” Deborah shot Fang Hao a playful glance and continued: “Today, I’m just watching the shop and heard you were here, so I decided to come see you.”

With that, she moved closer to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao had heard, Deborah was quite free-spirited.

Any man she took a fancy to, she could be very proactive with.

Could it be that she is interested in him?

“This boxing gym is property of Miss Deborah? That’s impressive…” Fang Hao feigned surprise.

“Oh my, it’s not mine, it’s Mr Lei Li’s. I don’t have that kind of ability.” Deborah said with a soft voice.

A waft of fragrance entered Fang Hao’s nostrils.

Deborah looked quite good, and was very adept at stirring up men.

But Fang Hao wasn’t greatly interested in her.

This woman, who had a close connection with the Faceless, he dared not get seriously involved with her.

He subtly shifted to the side, creating some distance.

He turned to Deborah and said, “That won’t be necessary, we’re just sitting for a while before leaving.”

Deborah raised her eyebrows, she did not expect Fang Hao to reject her.

Changing her approach, she continued, “Mr Fang Hao, you look a bit tired, I know some massage techniques. I could help you relax your muscles.”

It seems like Deborah is here to probe for Lei Li’s instructions.

And he needs Deborah here until news from the manor outside the city reaches Lei Li’s ears.

In order to achieve what he wants.

Understanding the situation, he lazily lay on the sleek sofa, “I’ll have to trouble Miss Deborah then.”

“No problem.”

Deborah said, then knelt beside him, gently massaging Fang Hao’s back.

Anjia sat beside them, scrutinizing Deborah.

She looked harmless, just an ordinary woman, so Anjia wasn’t too concerned.

While Deborah was massaging, she asked, “Mr Fang Hao, are you from the outer city? I heard the north of Pruell City is all orc territory. You don’t live in the orc city, do you?”

Fang Hao didn’t look at her, but he knew she was seeking information about him.

“Our place is actually a place where humans and orcs live together,” Fang Hao replied.

“Oh, those orcs…” Deborah started, glanced at the orc girl beside them, and quickly changed the subject, “I heard you designed many clothes for Lady Rebecca. When can you design a few sets for me?”

“Anytime,”

“So, you’re quite familiar with Lady Rebecca.”

“Not exactly, but she did place several orders from me. I had no choice but to make the long trek here.”

“I see…”

The two chatted for about twenty minutes.

Deborah was probing for information on Fang Hao, and through her, Fang Hao managed to obtain some of the information he wanted.

Indeed, Lei Li’s means were commendable. This boxing gym was more than just a normal betting place.

Nobles from the city and even further afield would come here for recreation.

They could even use some trivial means to launder the money they had.

This indicated that Lei Li inevitably had connections with many nobles.

No wonder no one in the city could lay a finger on him.

…

“Mr Fang Hao, you can turn over now,” Deborah said again.

Fang Hao obediently turned over, moving from laying on his stomach to laying on his back.

I’ve heard there are many bandits outside the city, did your merchant caravan have a safe journey?” Deborah casually asked.

Fang Hao smiled, “I’m not afraid of bandits, I have my own mercenary group in charge of escorting.”

“Oh! So your mercenary group is quite outstanding?”

“Not bad, their number isn’t that large, they just take care of security, they can’t handle other tasks.” Fang Hao gave a nonchalant reply.

The two were talking casually.

They were each inquiring about each other’s information while evaluating its veracity.

They knew quite a bit about each other now.

Deborah flirtatiously said, “So, shall we relax a bit more intimately?”

Knock, knock, knock!!!

There was a soft knocking sound from outside the door.

The next second, the door opened and the girl walked in.

She kept her head down without observing the situation inside and directly said, “Sir, here are the 450 gold coins you won. Miss Deborah, boss Lei Li has arrived and is asking for you.”

Upon hearing these words, Deborah’s complexion slightly changed.

Did Lei Li call for her to return?

It seems like something had happened.

Unfazed, she redressed and, without minding the girl’s presence, told Fang Hao, “Oh dear! Lei Li is here, I’ll accompany you next time when he’s not around.”

Having said this, she threw him a flirty glance and briskly walked out of the room.

Fang Hao looked at the girl and said, “Just keep betting, after a couple more rounds I’m going home.”

“Yes sir.” The girl exited the room once more.

Once again, only Fang Hao and Anjia were left in the room.

“Why are you so slow? See, the man’s already back.” Anjia said in a disappointed tone.

“Ah? Is that my fault?” Fang Hao was getting dressed.

“She was right there and you couldn’t seize the opportunity.”

“She is Lei Li’s spy, if we did anything with her, it would have been easier for things to go wrong.” Fang Hao explained in a hushed voice.

Fang Hao glanced at his watch.

From the end of his God’s Presence to Deborah’s departure-

it had taken 23 minutes. This was quicker than the speed at which news could be sent back from the manor on the outskirts of the city.

It was possible that the Faceless had some special methods of transmitting information.

It wouldn’t have been through the Sound-transmitting Shell, else it wouldn’t have taken 23 minutes.

“Oh, really?” Anjia set aside the snacks in her mouth, gave Fang Hao a little push and said, “I can give you a massage too.”

She wiped her hands on his body and began to apply pressure to Fang Hao’s chest.

“No! Anjia, are you kneading dough?”

“What, is there anything wrong with it?” Anjia didn’t notice any difference between her massage and the other woman’s.

“I feel like you don’t see me as a person.”

…

In another private room-

Deborah came back in a hurry.

As she opened the door, she saw a man with short hair and a small beard standing in the middle of the room with a serious expression on his face.

Deborah knew him, he was the one assigned to monitor the manor on the outskirts of the city.

Deborah asked with a furrowed brow, “What happened?”

“The City Lord’s soldiers have been dispatched. They’ve surrounded the manor on the outskirts of the city,” the bearded man answered.

After a quick glance towards Lei Li, Deborah continued to ask, “Have we figured out who those people are yet?”

“We’ve been monitoring the manor, but when the fight broke out, the manor was covered in a fog, and we couldn’t identify them. We can only confirm that there were quite a few of them, at least seventy to eighty.” The man replied quietly, his head bowed.

“Didn’t you trail them?”

“We did, but halfway through they scattered in the forest…somewhat like the ‘whip-carrying’ bandits.”

“So you’re saying you lost them. What a bunch of losers, you’ve wasted so much effort for nothing.” Deborah cursed angrily.

“Enough, you can go. Tell those brothers to come and get their money tomorrow.” Lei Li waved his hand and said.

“Yes, boss.” The man agreed and slowly retreated.

Lei Li turned to Lai Gou,”Any movement from his place?”

“No, the mercenaries he hired are still quiet. A few of them are drinking at the tavern under our surveillance.” Lai Gou answered.

Lei Li nodded, “It’s not a total loss, at least we know it’s not that kid.”
