Chapter 545: Chapter 439, He Calls You a Pretty Boy _2
The entire plan was tightly linked together, step by step.
The final victory belonged to the Faceless, and it also belonged to him, Aubrey.
“Do you think by killing me, you’ll get Lyss City? You’re just a waste of space,” Rebecca continued.
“What does it matter if I’m a waste? Don’t forget, according to the council’s regulations, I am the City Lord of Lyss City, and you’re merely the City Lord’s wife. Your lamenting middle-age widowhood, do you think the councillors from other cities will care about this? Of course, I will hold a grand funeral for you and symbolically shed two drops of tears,” Aubrey said nonchalantly.
He had been waiting for this day for too long.
Watching the first beauty of Lyss City at a loss, he felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart.
From now on, no one in Lyss City would ridicule him; they would only loudly praise their great Lord Aubrey.
“Keep dreaming!” Rebecca looked at the guards in the hall and yelled, “Guards, arrest Aubrey. He’s in league with the Faceless.”
After her order, the hall remained silent.
The guards on the first floor.
They just stood there quietly, none of them moved to follow Rebecca’s orders.
“I forgot to tell you, today is the guards’ rotating shift day. Why do you think I chose to hold the banquet today…,” Aubrey hinted.
Rebecca’s face instantly turned pale and her body started swaying as she held on to the table in front of her.
“You plan to kill everyone in here?” Rebecca looked straight at Aubrey.
“Only your supporters will die, most people will still survive in a coma. By then, I’ll announce that you were assassinated and unfortunately died. Oh right, I should thank you, originally, your little lover wasn’t part of my plan, but you added him in, which makes for an excellent scapegoat,” Aubrey said, glancing at Fang Hao on the first floor.
In the same vein, Fang Hao below also heard Aubrey’s words.
However, in his heart, he thought Aubrey was talking about Rolana.
Disguised as a man and constantly visiting Rebecca, it would be surprising if Aubrey didn’t discover her.
“Release them. Once I’m dead, you will naturally secure your seat as City Lord. There’s no need to kill them,” Rebecca said through gritted teeth.
“Heh!! Do you think I am not aware of your abilities, Rebecca? Even if you die, these people will still be my obstruction. Therefore, they have to die with you,” Aubrey said coldly.
Rebecca’s eyes flashed with cold light. She grabbed a dinner knife from the table and stabbed at Aubrey’s neck.
Aubrey’s face turned pale, but he was unable to dodge.
But at that moment, a maid beside them grabbed Rebecca’s wrist.
With a slight effort, the dinner knife in Rebecca’s hand fell to the ground.
“Aubrey, when will you stop playing this game?” the maid asked with a frown.
Aubrey, sweaty and terrified from the last scene, hurriedly said: “Lady Adeline, I entrust this to you.”
At the same time, he once again instructed the guards below, “Proceed as planned, kill all of Rebecca’s supporters, especially that black-haired guy, cut him into pieces.”
All the guards immediately took action.
They walked towards the dining tables in the hall, planning to execute all of Rebecca’s supporters.
In the dining area, Anjia lay on the table and whispered to Fang Hao, “Hey, he wants to cut you into pieces.”
“Must be a mistake, I’ve never offended him, barely even spoken to him,” Fang Hao whispered back.
“He mentioned you as Rebecca’s lover.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, he was referring to Rolana, it has nothing to do with me.”
“What! Rolana?” Anjia’s eyes widened.
The two attracted the attention of the guards with their whispered conversation.
A large group of guards surrounded Fang Hao and the others.
“Ah, braised lion’s head, so delicious…,” Fang Hao murmured as if sleep-talking, while squinting at the situation around him.
Just as he had assessed the situation, he saw an iron sword coming at him.
Fang Hao dodged the attack and stopped pretending to be unconscious. He retrieved a weapon from his storage space and threw it to Aseti, and himself gripped the Thunderhawk Blade.
Anjia, who usually fights with her bare fists, didn’t need a weapon either.
The three of them suddenly coming to their senses made the guards subconsciously take two steps back and get into a defensive position.
Fang Hao used this opportunity to conjure a Thunderbolt Javelin in his right hand and threw it at the window diagonally above him.
Under the impact of the thunderbolt, the window shattered instantly.
Without any hesitation, Fang Hao took out a flare from his storage space.
He launched it towards the window above his head.
The flare burst open in the sky above the City Lord’s residence, illuminating the surrounding sky with bright orange light.
This smooth operation left everyone dumbfounded.
Even if the people outside didn’t know what was happening inside.
The city’s soldiers, upon seeing the flare above the City Lord’s residence, would come over to offer their support.
Seeing the flare explode above the City Lord’s residence, Aubrey’s face instantly turned to one of fear. He shouted loudly, “Quick, kill them, or we’ll all die.”
He couldn’t understand why such a perfect plan had gone wrong.
As long as anyone ate the food and smelled the sedating fragrance, even a hero unit would fall into a deep coma. So what was going on with these three people?
But now wasn’t the time to study this. If he couldn’t kill Rebecca and these three before the city’s forces arrived, not only would their entire plan fail, but he would also die here.
