Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1229 - 822 s badmouthing as soon as he got back

Mr. Fang Hao dipped his finger in a cup of water and drew a rough map on the table, explaining, “The Undead’s ‘Anglina’, Gray Iron City of the Dwarves, including the northern Orc region, are all my territories. Now the Hundred Cities Federation is right in the middle. Do you think I would allow another’s territory in the middle, or are you comfortable with it being here?”

Everyone frowned, they hadn’t anticipated that the Hundred Cities Federation was completely enclosed.

And they didn’t doubt Mr. Fang Hao’s words.

The territory of the Hundred Cities Federation was in a remote area, even the leader Dordy was merely an orange hero level.

Mr. Fang Hao had one Demigod and several Dark Gold under his command.

Enough to dominate the surrounding areas.

Completely unifying the nearby territories was not an exaggeration, it even made sense.

“Hmph! To the south of the Hundred Cities is sea-land, even if you block the borders, we can still maintain the operation of the Hundred Cities Federation via sea routes,” a male human retorted coldly.

Mr. Fang Hao slapped his forehead and added, “Right, the Rainbow Islands are also my territory. The fact that the Hundred Cities Federation has sustained this long, you should thank my wife who has firmly stood by the side of humans.”

The…

Silence fell among everyone.

Good gracious, the territories of the Sea Tribe were also his.

In that case, not encroaching on the Hundred Cities Federation might likely be because Rebecca held him back.

After all, now that Hundred Cities are trapped within, there’s no need to leave them untouched.

And who would allow another’s territory right at the center of their own?

To put it nicely, Mr. Fang Hao dragging this out and leaving Rebecca as the leader looks good on everyone.

If he really took it over directly, there might not be much you could do.

Mr. Fang Hao continued to speak, “I am not necessarily looking to wage war against humans, as I am a human too, and you could say we are of the same kin…”

The faces of everyone present looked much better.

Indeed, even though transmigrators have many differences, by race, they are still human.

“Mr. Fang Hao, even so, that’s not an excuse to take human territory. We will not allow any reason for taking human lands,” Phoenix said with her expression still serious.

Mr. Fang Hao shook his head, “No, the Hundred Cities Federation still belongs to the human faction, unchanged from before, but also a part of my territory.”

Human territories are also divided into several areas.

The Hundred Cities Federation is an autonomous territory under the administration of the Hall of Justice.

That is, it normally operates without interference, but if an action threatens the human alliance, or an action is out of line, the Hall of Justice will intervene or punish you.

Similar to the various cities of the Hundred.

Phoenix fell silent; she was unable to make a decision on such a matter.

She could only say, “Mr. Fang Hao, we can’t make a decision on this matter. We need a formal response from the Hall of Justice.”

“Good, I need an answer within three days,” Mr. Fang Hao stated straightforwardly.

Everyone was stunned at once.

Hearing the timeline, they instantly felt as if an ultimatum had been issued.

As if to say, if a decision isn’t made by then, other means would be used to take over the Hundred Cities Federation.

“Alright, no matter what, we will provide Mr. Fang Hao with a response,” Phoenix immediately nodded in agreement.

Mr. Fang Hao also nodded, “If there’s nothing else, then we shall leave.”

After speaking, he gestured to Rebecca and Aseti who were beside him, ready to leave.

“Wait!” Phoenix immediately called out.

“What is it?” Mr. Fang Hao turned around.

Rolana and two black-armored warriors also turned their heads to look.

Phoenix smiled and said, “Mr. Fang Hao, don’t misunderstand. I just wanted to inform Madam Rebecca that we will arrange to have the Aerial Ship and accompanying personnel sent back to you.”

“Thank you!” Rebecca gave a small smile.

With no further matters, they then left the room.

And the people of the Hall of Justice, after a brief discussion, also hastily left.

This meeting with Mr. Fang Hao hadn’t exactly gone smoothly.

They needed to swiftly relay this matter to the headquarters of the Hall of Justice.

An answer would be needed within three days.

…

Leaving the tavern.

Mr. Fang Hao let Rolana take Rebecca back first.

He himself, followed by the two black-armored sisters, moved to the adjacent room.

In the empty room, they waited for a bit.

The door opened, and a goblin carrying a briefcase entered.

After scanning the room, he asked very formally, “Excuse me, are you Lord Fang Hao?”

“Yes, please come in,” Mr. Fang Hao immediately responded.

Seated at the table, the goblin introduced himself, “Lord Fang Hao, my name is ‘Clemente,’ responsible for managing some affairs for the external members of the Trade Alliance.”

“Ah, Mr. Clemente, what brings you here?” Mr. Fang Hao asked directly.

Last night, he had received a notification from the Trade Alliance for a meeting.

Since he was coming to fetch Rebecca today, he had scheduled them together.

The goblin got straight to the point and said, “This time I have two main matters, the first is about the compensation issue for your and the Dragon Clan’s damages to the Trade Alliance, the second is an invitation for you to become a core member of the Trade Alliance.”

After speaking, the Goblin took several sheets of paper out of his backpack.

Mr. Fang Hao picked up the first one and glanced at it.

This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.

It listed the damaged houses and facilities, covering several dense pages.

He didn’t look closely, flipping directly to the last page, which required a compensation of three billion Warfire Coins, with Fang Hao paying one billion two hundred million.

Damn, rebuilding a city wouldn’t even cost that much.

Wait, this basically seems no different from a reconstruction.

It seemed that last time he and Beata demolished the Trade Alliance’s auction hall, the compensation demanded by the Trade Alliance was 4.7 million.

And splitting that money with the Dragon Clan, he had to pay 2 million.

But now it was directly three billion.

Although his resources could cycle internally, making money virtually a number he could keep generating,

this amount was honestly too much.

“We can’t accept this price…” Fang Hao pushed the price back.

“Oh? Mr. Fang Hao, do you think the distribution of responsibility with the Dragon Clan is unreasonable?” the Goblin retorted.

He had anticipated several bargaining scenarios before he arrived.

How to respond, he had already figured it out.

“No, no, the Trade Alliance also stirred up trouble in the issue between me and the Dragon Clan. According to the division of responsibilities, you should also be involved, and bear the primary responsibility,” Fang Hao said bluntly.

That was a joke.

The Dragon Queen was now in his main city.

Although she wasn’t exactly one of his heroes, they were aligned.

If he brought this table back, where would the Dragon Clan get the money for compensation? He would probably have to pay it.

Moreover, it was intended as a retaliation against the Trade Alliance.

If I just pay up honestly, how would that be retaliation?

The Goblin hadn’t expected Fang Hao to say this, clearly outside of his prepared lines.

He immediately said, “Why would Lord Fang Hao say that?”

“Am I wrong? You revealed my information to the Dragon Clan, exacerbating the conflict between us. Tens of thousands died in this war; do you think the Trade Alliance bears no responsibility?” Fang Hao asserted directly.

The Goblin frowned.

Unexpectedly trying to argue from this angle.

“The Trade Alliance is merely a neutral platform, not the cause of your conflict. Even without the Trade Alliance, you would still fight,” the Goblin quickly argued.

“A neutral platform originally, but you played a bridging role between the two, no longer neutral but a participant in this strife.”

“…”

The two began to argue.

Fang Hao didn’t want to break off relations with the Trade Alliance, after all it was the platform connecting all the world’s factions.

The Succubi would also use it to gather intelligence for him.

After arguing for a while, there was no conclusion.

He could only say, “Regarding the compensation, I will discuss it with the Dragon Queen when I get back and give the Trade Alliance an answer then.”

The Goblin could only nod.

These two demigods, the Trade Alliance also needed to handle carefully.

The Goblin continued, “The second matter is to invite you to become a core member.”

Core member?

“What’s the difference?”

The Goblin took out another contract, which detailed some conditions for core members.

The contract outlined the privileges and responsibilities of core members.

Simply put, the tax on sold items was reduced to 1%, a store would be allocated in the central area, and they could buy some items from the Trade Alliance’s own stores, among other things.

But as a core member, one also had to bear corresponding responsibilities.

That is, to protect the safety of the Trade Alliance. Simply put, the Trade Alliance would bind the powerful factions to itself.

If the Trade Alliance was in danger, you would need to help defend.

Just like the last Trade Alliance militia.

“I need to go back and think about it, I’ll give you an answer in a while,” Fang Hao said.

These matters really required some careful consideration.

“That’s fine, Lord Fang Hao.”

After discussing the two matters, the Goblin got up and left.

Fang Hao gathered the papers and also walked out of the tavern.

…

Main city.

Rebecca, dressed in a light blue nightgown, was holding Rolana’s hand by the window, watching the patrolling Skeletons while recounting her experiences during this period.

Even now, she hadn’t figured out what the Hall of Justice’s attitude really was.

Aseti had told her that when she entered the ‘Hall of Blessed Land’ to receive her inheritance, the Hall of Justice’s attitude towards them was cold.

They even took control of the entourage from Lyss City.

But after she emerged, the Hall of Justice’s attitude changed, and they politely conveyed a message inviting Fang Hao to meet.

Then, today’s events unfolded.

Rolana listened, naturally understanding what had happened.

Previously, the Hall of Justice was cold because Rebecca’s nominal husband had offended the Dragon Queen, but after Fang Hao didn’t lose to the Dragon Queen, and instead gained a Demigod, their attitude changed.

She explained softly, and Rebecca’s eyes widened even more.

Then, she exclaimed, “You became a Demigod?”

“Yes, Fang Hao helped me become a Demigod.”

Upon hearing this, Rebecca puffed up and said, “I thought I was nearly catching up to you in strength, but instead you’ve pulled even further ahead. Fang Hao is really biased.”

Rolana didn’t say anything, just casting a sidelong glance behind and revealing a smile that looked forward to the show.

At that moment, Rebecca just felt someone hold her from behind. The heavy lapels were lifted, ceaselessly bouncing up and down.

“Well, you’re talking behind my back as soon as you return.”
