Chapter 543: Chapter 438, Deal Made_3
He recognized that he was being rejected, but the reasons given—”blood and taste”—were so vague he had no idea what they meant.
Cough cough!!
Fang Hao cleared his throat and explained, “Perhaps they mean you’re too plump and need to lose a little weight. Don’t take this too seriously. Some girls prefer slim guys, while others like them chubby and comfortable to touch.”
“Um, really? So, I still have a chance?” Eric was still not ready to give up.
“Eric, with your family’s wealth, you shouldn’t fixate on just her.”
“I feel I still have a chance. We were getting along really well before.” Eric responded.
Fang Hao put an arm around Eric and whispered, “Let me tell you something. I heard that Rolana is taken.”
“Really?”
“Why would I lie to you!”
As they chatted, the group took their seats at the banquet.
Not long after, Aubrey and Rebecca stepped out.
As the organizer of the banquet, Aubrey took to the stage and began his opening speech.
Although his words were familiar, it was apparent that Aubrey was more enthusiastic than usual today.
Despite Rebecca’s repeated reminders, he even discussed the city’s situation without any restraint.
As Aubrey droned on about uninteresting things, Fang Hao focused on the Demon Doll in the underworld instead and continued the unfinished negotiation with the Cranial Rat.
…
Underground.
After the final round of haggling.
Both parties had reached a preliminary agreement.
Fang Hao would provide a heroic purple demon rat’s corpse and open a secret market for the Cranial Rat, where they could purchase some daily necessities from him.
In return, the Cranial Rat would reveal the Faceless One’s plan against him and Rebecca, along with a list of known Faceless One members. If necessary, the Rat would also provide information on the movements of the individuals on the list.
However, any further intelligence would require additional payment based on the value of the information.
“Good. I will arrange for the demon rat’s corpse to be delivered here in the next couple of days. By then, I hope you will have the information ready,” said Fang Hao, controlling the Demon Doll.
It was evident that the Cranial Rat was being very cautious in negotiating equal exchanges.
To not jeopardize this opportunity to eliminate the Faceless Ones, Fang Hao decided to retrieve the intelligence when the Rat’s corpse was sent.
Exchange money for goods on the spot. For their first cooperation, this seemed like a reliable and sincere method.
“No, that would result in the failure of our cooperation.” The Cranial Rat suddenly voiced out.
This statement left Fang Hao startled.
How could it fail?
“The body is stored in my territory. Transporting it over will take at least a day. I’ll notify you to pick it up or try to send it over,” Fang Hao said.
However, the Cranial Rat still shook its head.
It explained, “No, no. The Faceless ones have already started. They have gathered all their members to usurp the surface city’s government tonight. You might be safe, but Rebecca will die, and the Faceless Ones will successfully seize control of the city.”
Fang Hao objected immediately, “Rebecca is the City Lord’s wife. The Faceless Ones won’t be able to get to her.”
“No, no. What if the Faceless One is someone close to her, like, say, the organizer of a banquet.”
Upon hearing this, a chill ran through Fang Hao’s heart.
