Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 321: Chapter 315, Cunning Gambler_1

A young man barreled past the guard in front of him and dashed out of the room.

He ran down the corridor and shrieked, in a fit of hysteria, “I told you, let me out, let me out.”

Stumbling all the way, he ripped open his fresh wounds.

Blood started soaking through his linen robe.

He barged through all the people blocking his way.

However, as he passed by Fang Hao, his pupils dilated abruptly and he staggered, falling to the ground.

Fang Hao tried to step forward to help, but was blocked by Anjia, who shielded him behind her.

The young man, drained of energy, looked at Fang Hao and said, “They are coming after us, those maniacs, get out of here, hide quickly…”

“Who are they you’re talking about?” Fang Hao asked.

“Them, get moving, they’re all madmen, they kill, they kill…” The man’s speech was incoherent.

When Fang Hao asked who they were, his eyes were full of fear.

“Who are they? What did they ask when they captured you?”

The man was still gripped by panic, his gaze was vacillating, looking around surreptitiously.

He kept repeating words like escape, they are devils, they are lunatics.

At this moment, the guards from behind caught up.

They helped the man up and took him back to the room he was in before.

Under the guards’ orders, the gathering crowd quickly dispersed.

The corridor grew quiet again.

Only Fang Hao, Anjia, and the old, crone-like priest were left.

“What happened to that man just now?” Fang Hao asked the old woman.

The old woman eyed Fang Hao and said slowly, “He’s a patient sent from the City Lord. It seems he’s involved in some violent incidents, but I’m not sure of the details, we in the Temple only look after their treatment.”

“So, he’s not in a lethal condition?” Fang Hao followed the old woman, walking ahead.

“His life is not in danger, he’s just been shocked and needs some time for recovery.” The old woman replied.

Fang Hao nodded slightly, deciding not to ask further.

Last night he saw five bodies, perhaps he knows more than the old woman does.

This was not a simple case of violence, but someone was capturing transmigrators to interrogate and murder them.

The old woman assigned some assistant priests.

She took Fang Hao for a tour around the Temple.

Soon, the Temple staff’s number and uniform style were also delivered.

Temple uniforms always have specific religious symbols, but they do not fall within the category of equipment blueprints.

They cannot be mass produced and need tailors for processing.

By the time they left the Temple, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon. Fang Hao had a haircut, then strolled through the other commercial streets.

He looked to see if there were any shops for sale and evaluated which ones had better business.

By the time he finished strolling along the commercial street, it was already getting dark.

Anjia felt that the food at the inn was not good, so they decided to eat in the tavern instead.

Upon pushing open the tavern door, they were met with an onslaught of noise. Fang Hao took a seat at the bar.

The tavern owner also walked over, “It’s been a while since you’ve been here.” It seemed the owner still remembered Fang Hao.

“Just occasionally coming here for improved dining.” Fang Hao replied with a smile.

He didn’t mention that he had just arrived in Lyss City.

“What do you plan on having today?” The owner wiped his hands with a rag.

Fang Hao looked at Anjia, “Order whatever you want to eat, just don’t order too much.”

Anjia began ordering, while Fang Hao turned his attention to the notice board on the side.

The notice board in the tavern.

It has always been an important source for obtaining maps.

The rewards on the notice board are all local trivial matters.

However, two single-page maps caught Fang Hao’s attention.

[Map: Bandit Camp] [Map: Chaotic Stone Forest],

Fang Hao casually plucked them off the board and immediately started studying them.

[Map: Bandit Camp/Chaotic Stone Forest]

[Type: Single-page Map]

(Description: A map drawn by a traveling merchant, recording the route and terrain of unknown ruins.)

There was nothing special about either of the two maps.

A single-page map that recorded the place.

“Boss, I’ll take these two maps.” Fang Hao said to the boss.

The boss was busy on the side, just looked back and nodded.

Indicating Fang Hao should put them away by himself.

Fang Hao directly removed the two maps and put them into his backpack.

Once he returned, he would record them using the Book of Lords.

Not long after.

The beer and ordered dinner were also served.

The two chatted while devouring their food.

Bang!

At this moment, the tavern door was forcibly pushed open.

Several strapping men walked in aggressively.

The noisy tavern quieted down instantly.

The burly men stood at the entrance, scanning the room.

Their gaze finally stopped at the corner of the tavern.

They stepped forward briskly,

From under the table, pulling a thin, dark-skinned man.

“Lai, Lai Gou boss, why are you all here?” The thin dark man smiled fawningly, his eyes dodging.

Slap!

The strong man called Boss Lai Gou slapped him across the face and said, “Less fucking bullshit, the boss asks you when you’re going to pay back the money.” “Give me a few more days leeway, as long as you give me a few more days, I’ll soon have the money.” The thin dark man said with his face covered.

“You’ve already got plenty of time; boss said if you don’t refund today, we’ll break your leg as interest first.” Lai Gou said coldly.

“Don’t, boss, give me two more days, and I will definitely get the money.” The man fell to his knees and begged loudly.

Lai Gou apparently had heard enough of his excuses and lifted him up and walked out.

The tavern was silent.

Only the sound of pleading and dragging on the floor, knocking over tables and chairs.

When the strong men took the thin, dark man out, the tavern became noisy again.

Everyone acted as if nothing had happened, the drinkers drank, and the braggers bragged.

The boss, wiping his hands, returned to the counter.

“What just happened?” Fang Hao asked the boss in a low voice.

The boss’s gaze was still towards the door, “This guy likes to gamble, but he’s very lucky. Every time he leaves the city, he can pick up a not-so-small gemstone, sell it to the jewelry shop, and take the money to gamble.” “Pick up gems? Where did he pick them up?” Fang Hao was shocked. He could pick up gemstones.

“If I knew where to pick them up, I wouldn’t be running this tavern anymore. I would be out picking up gemstones every day.”

The boss filled up the wine for a nearby customer and continued, “Don’t disbelieve. This is true. He has shown off his gems in this tavern more than once, this big, wrapped in a brown leather bag.” The boss gestured to describe the size of the gemstone.

Hearing the boss’s description, Fang Hao’s eyes narrowed instantly, and something occurred to him.

“So, he hasn’t been able to get gems lately, and can’t pay his gambling debts, right?” Fang Hao verified again.

“Yeah, it looks like he’s not going to keep one of his legs.”

The boss nodded, confirming Fang Hao’s thoughts even more.

If all the details were connected, it would not be difficult to know where the gambler got his gemstones.

“Just take it away, doesn’t the city care? I see the security here is pretty good.” Fang Hao continued to ask.

“Those people just now are all Lei Li’s men, who dares to manage, besides, an IOU is also impossible to manage.” The boss wiped the table.

“Lei Li is very powerful?”

“Boss Lei Li is the boss of the underground area of Lyss City, you mustn’t provoke him.” The boss leaned in and reminded in a low voice.

“Oh.” Fang Hao acknowledged.

After dinner, the two also packed some food for Demitrija.

When they left the tavern, it was already a bit darker.

There were also considerably fewer pedestrians on the street.

Walking down the road to the hostel.

A carriage slowly drove past them.

As they passed by, the face of the coachman made Fang Hao frown slightly.

The captain of the City Lord’s guard.

It was him who had gone with Rebecca to check the body last night.

“Follow the carriage to see where it’s going.”

Anjia nodded and rushed towards the direction of the carriage.

This was a street within the city, and the carriage was not fast. It was not difficult to follow.
