Chapter 446, Confident Grote

Bang!

The strange behavior of the black-haired man attracted the attention of everyone around him.

It also instantly stole the spotlight from the new city lord's gorgeous appearance.

Hubert was also startled by the sound coming from beside him, frowned and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

"No sir, I'll tell you when I get back." The black-haired man replied in a low voice.

Hubert nodded, looking back.

Rebecca held Fang Hao's arm affectionately and introduced, "This is Mr. Hubert, the parliamentary representative of the Hundred Cities Federation's Nasr City."

"Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Hubert." Fang Hao said with a smile.

Time traveler?

After hearing Rebecca's introduction, Hubert and several of his entourage focused their attention on Fang Hao.

They had guessed many people about the identity of the new city lord.

Nobles in the city, or wealthy businessmen who can provide large sums of money.

With Rebecca's maturity and beauty, it is not difficult at all to find a powerful husband.

But no one would have guessed that the person who appeared in front of everyone was a young time traveler.

Seeing Rebecca carrying the young man affectionately, jealousy arose in everyone's hearts.

If only the news of Aubrey's death had spread earlier.

I am afraid that men from all cities will rush to Lysis to pursue Rebecca.

At this time, everyone arrived, and the servants began to serve delicious food one after another.

The three-foot-long table was filled with sumptuous dishes.

Hubert used a knife and fork to cut a piece of beef and said softly: "City Lord Fang Hao is really young. You must be a time traveler."

Fang Hao didn't hide anything and played his role well, "Yes, it's just a title."

over time.

It is no secret that more travelers have frequent contact with local indigenous people.

Perhaps ordinary residents don't know much about these, but those in power have also learned about the existence of time travelers through various methods.

Next to Hubert, there was also a time traveler who followed him to the banquet. Fang Hao had already seen it when he came in.

The other person kept his head down and just ate silently.

"How did City Lord Fang Hao meet Lady Rebecca?" Hubert continued to ask tentatively.

Fang Hao replied, "I have a mercenary group that I met through some missions."

Hearing the mercenaries, Hubert and his party had a look of disgust in their eyes.

Travelers also have their own advantages.

But the mercenary group, a profession that licks blood at the tip of a knife, is a lower profession in the eyes of the nobles than bodyguards and guards.

Entering the city is a soldier, leaving the city is a bandit.

Mercenaries have always had a bad reputation.

Hubert looked at Rebecca, and then his eyes fell on Fang Hao again.

He continued to ask: "City Lord Fang Hao, in one month's time, it will be the Federal Parliament. The House of Lords has proposed a unified federal command to mobilize the armies of various cities. How does Lysis City consider this matter?"

After asking, Hubert remained silent and waited for Fang Hao's answer with a smile.

Fang Hao looked at Rebecca aside.

The latter quietly shook his head.

Fang Hao didn't know anything about the draft of the House of Lords, and he, the city lord, didn't even sit there for two days.

"Rebecca and I are also discussing this matter, and we will express our position at this year's parliament when there is a result." After Fang Hao finished speaking, he put the cut steak into his mouth.

According to the agreement reached between Fang Hao and Rebecca, Rebecca is responsible for all matters in Lysis City.

As long as the decision does not conflict with the territorial development plan, he will not interfere.

If there is any discrepancy, the two will discuss it privately and make a more secure decision.

As for parliament, Fang Hao is not proficient in these, especially the struggle for power among nobles. He does not have the brains or energy.

Therefore, Rebecca is responsible for all matters in the parliament, and he provides certain support.

Later, Hubert asked several questions one after another.

Fang Hao's answers were also perfunctory, repeating just two sentences over and over again.

As we chatted, the topic died.

Hubert, who had nothing to talk about with Fang Hao, started chatting with Rebecca again.

Fang Hao also fell silent and ate silently.

Wait for the banquet to be over so that you can go back and rest.

…

And just then.

Grote, who was next to Hubert, stood up with a wine glass.

The hands full of gemstone rings are simply blinding.

Grote Marshall is a well-known family in the Federation. Grote is responsible for the family's business.

And he and Hubert had been good friends all along, and this time they came to the city of Lysis together.

It was his first time coming to the city of Lysis, and when he saw Rebecca, he was also amazed by her appearance.

When he heard that this beautiful woman had just lost her husband, a feeling of destiny arose in his heart.

Because, a month ago, his wife had just passed away due to illness.

His family was extremely wealthy and had no shortage of women, but those women were incomparable to Rebecca.

He had been silent just now, just waiting to see what Rebecca's new husband had backstage and strength.

Now, he has determined that this kid is just a time traveler who doesn't understand anything and hasn't fully grown his hair yet.

Compared to this time traveler, I can provide more help to Rebecca.

Grote held the wine glass, walked up to Rebecca with a smile, and said softly: "Mrs. Rebecca, it's an honor to meet you."

The Marshall family is quite powerful in the Federation.

What they control is the strength of the business group, and they have seats as representatives of the business group in parliament.

But in terms of status, there is still a big difference between him and a city lord like Rebecca.

Rebecca just nodded politely.

Grote added: "Mrs. Rebecca, I'm sorry to hear that Lysis City has encountered a lot of troubles recently. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. The Marshall family's business group can..."

Before Grote could finish speaking, Rebecca interrupted him directly, "Thank you Mr. Grote for your kindness, but I don't need it yet."

Grote was stunned, not expecting Rebecca to refuse so decisively.

A sense of rejection can also be heard in the tone.

But he didn't care and continued: "The city of Lysis is facing many problems. This time in the annual parliament, the House of Lords will have more stringent requirements on Lady Rebecca."

After a pause, Grote raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at Rebecca's beautiful face and tall chest, "Actually, the solution is also very simple. As long as we discuss it in detail, we can come up with a solution. , if Mrs. Rebecca doesn’t mind, I’d like to invite you after the banquet…”

The tone sounded very polite.

But he used the older method of picking up girls.

Rebecca's face looked a little ugly, and she said coldly: "Sorry, I won't bother you anymore."

Fang Hao sat aside and frowned slightly.

Although he and Rebecca are only a couple in name, it is a bit too much for you to seduce Rebecca in front of me.

But he didn't say anything immediately.

Apparently Grote came to the wrong enemy and used the method of picking up girls in the tavern on Rebecca.

If they hadn't been guests, Rebecca would have directly ordered him to chop them up.

"That's such a shame." Seeing that Rebecca was unmoved, Grote shrugged.

A hint of gloom suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly no longer concealed it, and said with a sneer: "You should also know the influence of my Marshall family. My wife happened to pass away last month. I can marry you and will give you some benefits." support."

The wine glass was shaking in his hand, and the bright red fruit wine formed a vortex in the glass. Grote continued: "However, I will give you the opportunity. I won't force you if you don't want it. If Mrs. Rebecca figures it out by then, you can come at any time. Find me in the room."

These words were so overbearing that it was hard to believe that they were spoken by a businessman to the city lord.

He also said, I will give you exactly what you need, and it also has a strong sense of threat.

Hubert, on the other hand, just watched silently, without any intention of speaking.

Rebecca's face was cold.

When a businessman said this, anger was already igniting in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that the Marshall family did have strong connections in the Federation, she would have immediately ordered this old pervert to be dragged out and executed.

"Hmph! Pay attention to your identity, Grote. Now go back to your place to eat. If you dare to say anything more, I will read your words today intact in the parliament, so that everyone in the Federation can see you. The majesty of the Marshall family." Rebecca said coldly.

Grote was stunned, but he really believed that Rebecca could do it.

I don’t dare to say any more.

He didn't dare to say Rebecca, but he set his sights on Fang Hao.

I can’t get Rebecca, and I can’t get you as a time traveler?

Gu Hu: "Your name is Fang Hao?" Grote leaned on the back of the chair.

"Yes, what, is something wrong?" Fang Hao asked directly.

This tone made Grote's heart surge with anger.

A puppet city lord who was used as a shield dared to talk to him like this.

"Ha! Who doesn't know that Mrs. Rebecca needs a soft rice king? You don't really think that you are the city lord. Have you seen Aubrey? If you die, there will still be a second city lord to take your place!" Grote sneered and mocked.

This sentence can be regarded as a direct satire on Fang Hao.

But Fang Hao is not Rebecca. She is arrogant in front of him, and he doesn't care about aristocratic appearance.

He said directly: "This clown drank too much, send him back to rest."

Two guards came forward and signaled Grote to leave.

Grote's face turned gloomy for a moment, and he shouted: "Traveler, how dare you talk to me like this."

As he spoke, he pushed away the two guards beside him.

But before Grote could continue to say anything.

boom!

Arsetti, who was acting as a guard, stepped forward and kicked Grote in the abdomen.

Grote's body was kicked out like a cannonball.

He stumbled and flew two or three meters before falling heavily to the ground, his body like a bent shrimp.

The whole person fell into a coma.

Hubert and others' eyes widened as they saw Grote being kicked away and lying on the ground like a dead dog.

He is just a businessman, how can he withstand Asetti's kick.

But everything that just happened happened too fast, and before he even had time to stop it, Grote was knocked unconscious.

"Fang Hao, what do you mean?" Hubert stood up and asked loudly.

"Mr. Hubert just fell asleep. Didn't you see him humiliating me? If I don't fix him, he really thinks this is his own home. He dares to point fingers at me." Fang Hao shot back mercilessly.

Faced with Hubert's questioning, Fang Hao was not at all dishonest.

He is not Aubrey, and he has no leverage in the hands of these people.

It is not a matter of being attached to Rebecca, but the city of Lysis is already part of his territory.

I can still tolerate this bird spirit.

"Hmph! Grote is a member of the Marshall family. He just talked some nonsense while drunk. Is this how you treat your guests?" Hubert said loudly.

"Now that you know you are a guest, you must know what you should and should not say. This is the first time. I forgive him for being so arrogant. The second time I will cut out his tongue." Fang Hao didn't show any concern at all. let.

Hubert saw that Fang Hao was not afraid at all, and even seemed to want to order his arrest.

His eyes fell on Rebecca and asked solemnly: "Rebecca, is this how you entertain guests?"

Rebecca looked innocent and didn't understand why she was still being looked for.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "I have already asked someone to contact the temple, and someone will come to treat him soon. There is no need to worry, Mr. Hubert."

Hubert's face turned red with anger, and he swept his cold eyes over the whole place, not knowing who to vent his anger on.

In the end, all he could do was snort, "Let's go."

After saying that, he quickly left with a group of people.

…

Hubert and others leave.

The entire restaurant suddenly became quiet.

This was Fang Hao's second time attending a high-society dinner.

Rebecca was accustomed to verbal confrontations among nobles and knew how to deal with them.

But when Fang Hao arrived, he was not familiar with any of this and had no idea what the other party was doing.

The counterattack shown is even more simple and violent.

He didn't know what Grote did, and Rebecca didn't introduce him to him.

Anyway, he was kicked straight to the point of being knocked unconscious.

Now Hubert is gone, leaving only a group of officials in the city.

They all looked at Fang Hao blankly.

It feels like this new city lord is very different from Aubrey.

"Look what I'm doing, eat, don't let those guys spoil everyone's interest, don't waste it!" Fang Hao motioned for everyone to continue eating.

Everyone looked at Rebecca.

The latter nodded, "The banquet continues, don't worry about them."

After hearing Rebecca's words, everyone continued to move and started chatting while continuing the banquet.

…

In a room.

The priest of the temple conducted a simple inspection on Grote.

There is no danger after taking the medicine.

It's just that the person is still in a coma and has not woken up.

After the deacon finished checking, he opened the door and left.

Following closely, Hubert's black-haired traveler entourage walked in at this moment and stood aside respectfully.

"That Fang Hao is also a time traveler. Do you know him?" Huber asked with a gloomy face.

Hubert is usually accompanied by two people.

One is the guard, and the other is the traveler in front of him, Wang Dongxu.

Wang Dongxu lowered his head and hurriedly explained: "Sir, this Fang Hao is very famous among us time-travelers, and I didn't expect to see him here."

"Oh? Famous?" Hubert also became curious.

"Yes, he is very famous. He can be said to be ranked number one among our time-travelers. He killed so many time-travelers by himself half a month ago. No one dares not to mess with him." Wang Dongxu explained immediately.

The time-travelers all came here together, and someone might have killed the time-travelers behind the scenes.

But within the channel, Fang Hao has a strong deterrent effect.

Whether it was Li Teng, who was the first to be beheaded, or Yu Tianpeng, the leader of the Tianpeng Alliance, they all left a deep impression on everyone.

This is why when he heard the word Fang Hao, he subconsciously showed nervousness.

"Huh! He's just a time traveler. He can be ranked first. I'm afraid he hooked up with Rebecca very early. Aubrey will probably die in their hands." Hubert said with a cold snort. .

He has been to Wang Dongxu's city, which is only a small town with a few hundred people.

Although time travelers have many incredible abilities, their foundation is still too shallow to compare with them.

And it seems that Fang Hao can become the number one time traveler because of Rebecca's support.

The city of Lysis is a city with a good foundation. Supporting a pretty boy that she likes is nothing to Rebecca.

Although Wang Dongxu disagreed with his words in his heart, he did not dare to refute him face to face.

After all, he is now attached to Hubert and has no right to speak.

After thinking for a while, he continued: "Lord Hubert, there is one more thing I need to say."

"explain!"

"The lizards around Fang Hao and the person who attacked Lord Grote are all orange heroes, and the team of guards are all level 8 lion-hearted knights." Wang Dongxu said cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Hubert's eyes widened instantly.

Why he allowed Wang Dongxu to follow him was not because of his bravery and strategy, but because of his special abilities as a time traveler.

You can see the target's occupation and level, and you can also make various props.

These were the reasons why he took Wang Dongxu with him.

At the beginning, he also thought that Rebecca also liked Fang Hao for this, plus his really thin skin and tender flesh, which was why they hooked up with him.

At this time, I heard Wang Dongxu talking about two orange heroes and an eighth-level escort. This was simply impossible.

"Are you sure you read it correctly?" Hubert sounded a little unconvinced.

"Sir, I will not mistake these." Wang Dongxu said seriously.

Hubert fell into silence, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrest of the chair.

After a while, he said: "Are these Fang Hao's men?"

"This..., look for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. I'm not sure about this. I guess that no matter how powerful Fang Hao is, he can't have two orange heroes. Could it be the female city lord who is cheering him on?" Wang Dongxu asked tentatively,

Fang Hao was very powerful, and he was a little nervous when he saw Fang Hao.

But I don't think Fang Hao's strength has reached this point. It's a bit incredible that two oranges are heroes.

Hubert was silent again for a long time.

He murmured: "I want to see if there are any secrets in Lysis City that I don't know about. The gentlemen in the parliament may be very interested in this place."

After saying that, he stood up again.

He said to Wang Dongxu: "Assign someone to take care of Grote, and then I'll go see what Rebecca is up to."
