The regulations governing mercenaries in the city are quite stringent.

Numerous complications are likely to arise.

For certain peculiar reasons, my people will alert the other side the moment they take action, which is why I require a different team, one that can apprehend the individuals without the enemy being aware.

Rebecca spoke in a hush tone, a different team.

In that instant, Fong Hao grasped Rebecca's implication.

The Faceless had already infiltrated the Lord's manor or the military within the city.

Any movement would be swiftly reported.

Thus, Rebecca sought a specialized team.

However, Fong Hao was somewhat astonished that she had approached him, considering his mercenary group had only recently been established.

And what a compensation.

Surely, you do not intend for us to work for free," Fonhao remarked with a smile.

Genuinely intrigued by the proposition.

Rather than gathering intelligence about the Lord's manner through indirect means, it would be far more advantageous to establish a direct connection with Rebecca.

This would allow him to combine his own intelligence with a deeper understanding of the faceless.

Compensation will not be an issue.

The task is straightforward and the remuneration will be generous.

Additionally, I will provide you with an identity that grants you certain privileges, though this will remain confidential, Rebecca replied, her smile revealing her confidence.

Fong Hao held his cup, lost in brief contemplation, weighing the potential gains and losses of accepting the task.

After several minutes of silence, he finally returned the smile.

Very well, I shall undertake this assignment.

Chapter 351.

Clearing the warehouse, Rebecca spoke with an air of ease.

Yet the reality was far from simple.

Being targeted by the faceless ones was no trivial matter.

If Rebecca found herself in such dire straits, what hope did a mere mercenary band possess? Nevertheless, Fongghao resolutely accepted the task.

He had already initiated actions against the Faceless Ones and was unperturbed by the prospect of inciting their wrath.

The true menace of the Faceless Ones lay in their ability to infiltrate.

One could never be certain if those around them might turn traitor.

However, this threat did not weigh heavily on Fonggha.

Opportunities for him were scarce outside, and within his territory, aside from a few contracted individuals, the remainder were all undead.

Even if he wished to deploy spies, there was simply no place to do so.

Moreover, his conversations with Rebecca had sparked an intrigue regarding the power dynamics in the city of Lysis.

The man he had encountered previously was the Lord of Lis.

Yet, it appeared that military authority resided in the hands of Rebecca, the Lady of the Lord.

There were likely matters at play that he had yet to comprehend.

Upon hearing Fong's agreement, Rebecca visibly relaxed.

The older mercenary bands within the city, though stronger than Fong Hao, were not guaranteed to be devoid of faceless ones.

After careful consideration, Rebecca found herself placing a measure of trust in Fonggha.

"Very well, then, how many men do you have?" Rebecca inquired, rising to sit upright and plucking a piece of fruit to eat.

"How many do you require?" "H so you do possess quite a number of mercenaries," she remarked.

"Not many, but I can muster around a hundred.

" Fun.

how replied confidently, "Good.

Bring about 30 men.

I will send someone to inform you of the next steps.

" Rebecca nodded in agreement.

She was aware of Fong Hao's residence and would arrange for someone to communicate the forthcoming actions.

Once the discussion concluded, Fong Ho did not linger.

He rose and said, "Lady Rebecca, I shall return to prepare.

" Indeed, as he departed, Rebecca reminded him, "Please ensure our conversation remains confidential.

" Understood.

Fongghao exited the room accompanied by Anja and left the task hall.

Upon stepping outside, the two did not doawle further.

They summoned a carriage and made their way back to Fong House residence.

Once his room, he lay on the bed and invoked his divine presence.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself in the village of the gay bears.

As his vision cleared, he immediately felt the strain and pain in his mind from the long-d distanceance exertion.

In front of him was still the familiar room of the gray bears.

Gray bear dressed in loose attire stood by the window gazing outside.

Gray bear.

Funhao called softly.

Gray bear turned acknowledging the skeletal gray sparrow at the bedside.

My lord, prepare to select around 30 capable individuals with no criminal records in Lysa city to come and find me.

Fongo instructed.

Of course, my lord, I shall attend to it immediately.

Gray bear responded promptly.

Ensure to enter the city before dusk.

Yes, my lord.

Fongghao dismissed his divine presence.

And the gray bear dawned his armor and stepped outside.

That evening at 10:00 in the eastern part of the city near a corner stood a modest dwelling.

Within the dimly lit house, shadows moved under the moonlight.

As per their agreement, Fong Ho and his companions awaited news from Rebecca.

Apart from Fongghao and Jia Dimitria and the gray bear who had brought along 27 others before the city gates were shut, they remained silent, refraining from lighting torches or engaging in idle chatter.

The only sounds being the distant chirps of insects in the courtyard.

The bandits felt a twinge of unease, wondering if their leader had lost his mind.

Contemplating a grand act in the city, engaging in conflict within the city.

Was that not courting death? Suddenly, a series of knocks resounded at the courtyard door.

The route has been arranged.

The lady must be alive.

A man's voice echoed from outside.

Fong Hao nodded to his companions.

With a clatter, everyone rose.

The sound of armor clashing, filling the air.

The door swung open to reveal a middle-aged man who appeared familiar to Fong How, likely a guard in Rebecca's employee.

If the opportunity arises, I shall do my utmost to keep him alive, Fong Ho murmured softly.

Here is the map.

The location is an abandoned warehouse.

Exercise caution, the man instructed before turning to leave.

Fonggha examined the map, recognizing it as one of the three sites provided by Liego, a dilapidated warehouse in the eastern corner of the city.

He had previously surveyed the location using his divine presence, finding no suspicious individuals at that time.

It seemed the Lord S.

Manor was also aware of this site.

Let us proceed.

With a wave of his hand, they ventured forth into the night towards their objective.

After approximately 20 minutes, they arrived at a cluster of warehouses.

Clearly abandoned for quite some time.

Some of the warehouses were relatively well preserved, while others had crumbled walls and gaping holes in their roofs.

Concealed in the shadows, Fongghao opened his backpack and released the skeletal gray sparrow.

Utilizing his divine presence to inhabit the creature, he flew toward the warehouse.
