It appears that this fong is utterly oblivious to the circumstances in Leisy City.
Such widely known facts should not require inquiry.
What else did he mention? Eric discreetly glanced at Deborah's thigh and quietly remarked.
He even specifically inquired about Miss Deborah.
The carriage fell into a brief silence, soon followed by the melodic laughter of women.
"It seems that the young man possesses some discernment after hearing that.
I must admit I find him somewhat likable," Deborah said with a soft chuckle.
"All right, you may leave now.
But if you mention today's events to anyone else, "You are aware of the consequences.
Are you not?" Riley reiterated.
"Of course, I wouldn't dare speak of it," Eric assured loudly, retreating a little.
in the carriage.
Only the three of them remained.
Ligo, do you sense any issues with his fongo? Riley directed his question towards Ligo.
After some contemplation, Ligo replied, "Boss, what this fellow said align closely with my findings.
This dark-haired youth is indeed from afar and cannot possibly be involved in this matter, even if he wished to participate.
A cloth merchant lacks the capacity for such endeavors.
Indeed, I too feel that his involvement is unlikely.
" Riley gently tapped the side of the carriage as it began to roll forward.
Noticing the two had ceased discussing the issue, Deborah leaned against Riley, playfully suggesting, "Boss Riley, may I investigate that young man's background for you?" Riley remained silent.
"How about it? That lad is rather handsome, clearly quite appealing.
" Deborah continued, "You get all worked up over such trivial matters.
Wait a few days and then you may engage with whichever young man piques your interest.
Riley responded, "All right, you're the best, boss.
" Riley.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Lord's Manor, Fong House sat nearby, listening as the two women grew increasingly animated in their conversation.
They transitioned from discussing the changes in the city to music and the arts.
Lady Rebecca, being multi-talented, had exposure to both, while Lana, hailing from a noble bloodline, was equally familiar with the subjects, seamlessly complimenting Rebecca's discourse.
Funha glanced at his watch.
It was already 1:40 a.
m.
He stifled the yawn and said, "Madam Rebecca, it is getting late, so I shall not disturb your rest any longer.
" Rebecca nodded in agreement.
"Very well, should anything arise, I shall inform you.
" Fongghao turned his gaze towards Rana.
Miss Rana, would you care for my carriage to take you home at this late hour? The Evernight clan tends to be quite energetic at night.
However, the rest of us are still mere mortals who require sleep.
Rana met Fong Ho's eyes and rose, saying, "Madame Rebecca, I shall bid you farewell until next time.
" "Indeed, until we meet again," Rebecca replied.
After parting with Rebecca, the three of them exited the Lord<unk>'s mansion.
They boarded the carriage heading towards their residence.
At this hour, the streets were deserted with only the sounds of hooves and wheels echoing against the cobblestones.
Inside the carriage, a brief silence enveloped Fong Hao and his companions.
I plan to stay in Leis city for 2 days.
Would you intend to return? Fonggho inquired, directing his question at Rolana.
He was reluctant to leave her in Leis city, fearing she might stir up trouble.
I require a set of farming tools.
Once I acquire them, I shall return, Rana replied.
Fonggha had already sent a group of surrendered mountain bandits to the Hiwa Highlands.
And Rana had come to the territory to obtain some land clearing tools.
Upon discovering that he was not there and needing to deliver a gown, she had come directly.
That can be arranged.
Once we return, I will have someone deliver them to you, Fonghouse said softly.
The tools could be easily crafted with a hundfold amplification technique, posing no significant difficulty.
Only it was inconvenient to produce and transport them in Leisy City.
Then I shall also remain in Ley City for a few days.
And we can depart together, Rolana continued.
There is no need for that.
You may return first, and I will ensure the tools are delivered to you, Funha suggested.
But Rolana seemingly disregarded his intent.
She leaned back against the seat, quietly closing her eyes.
The carriage made its way back to their residence where Fong Ha arranged a room for Rolana before retreating to his own quarters for rest.
The following day at 9:00 a.
m.
, having returned at 2:00 a.
m.
, he rose somewhat later than usual, rubbing his blurry eyes as he sat up in bed, he noticed a figure standing at the doorway, gently tapping on the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
Fonggha<unk>s heart skipped a beat and instinctively he reached for a weapon nearby.
The next moment he recognized the figure at the door.
It was Shiau.
Restore to her original appearance.
He shot her a disapproving glance.
Shiaoyu, what is the meaning of this? My lord, did you not instruct me to knock before entering? Shiau replied with a mischievous smile.
Goodness, what purpose does knocking serve when you're already standing in my room? Upon seeing Xiao Yuyu<unk>s grin, he realized she was being deliberately playful with her elevated status.
She had shed her earlier rigidity and coldness, and now she even engaged in mischief.
I must inform you that I suffer from heart disease.
Such occurrences may eventually frighten me to death.
Funo set aside his weapon and rose from the bed.
Rest assured, Bachelor Nielsen, I shall ensure your safety, he assured.
As he dawned his attire, he briefly discussed the situation regarding the faceless ones.
From Shiao Yu, he learned of the previous night when Riley apprehended Eric to inquire about his circumstances, as well as the reasons for Shiao Yu<unk>s continued presence by Riley's side.
After dining, Noon had arrived.
Fong Hao, accompanied by others, proceeded directly to warehouse 402, where the photographed items were stored.
He retrieved the key and opened the large metal door.
As it swung open, the scene within unfolded before him.
13 oil paintings draped in tattered cloth leaned against the wall.
The remaining artifacts encasing several half-height sculptures were half-hazardly arranged in the center of the warehouse.
"Good heavens, with over 80,000 spent, it feels as though I've merely acquired a trove of junk," he mused, casually placing the oil paintings into a storage space and pulling down the linen cloth covering the items.
Five sculptures caught his eye, appearing rather exquisite.
Three depicted animal forms, while the other two portrayed a pair of nude figures, likely part of a set.
Beside them lay the series of weapons required by Shiaoyu for her absolution.
However, there was a noteworthy distinction.
Instead of one, there were two weapons, the absolution willow blade and the absolution broadsword.
What a fortunate find.
Two absolution weapons indeed.
Shall you please collect the weapons? Fongghao instructed, addressing Shiau behind him.
Today, Shiau had come to retrieve the weapons Fong Hao had purchased the previous day.
"Thank you, my lord," she replied, stepping forward.
The moment she made contact with the weapons, a blue radiance ascended around her.
