Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

"Why can't I take on something significant and solve problems for the Federation?" Rebecca puffed out her chest in apparent displeasure.

Olivia smiled and said, "I'm just surprised that the nominated person would be you."

"It's my husband." Rebecca, clasping Fang Hao's arm, pulled him closer to her side.

Olivia rolled her eyes, ignoring their display of affection.

The two women began to chat.

They talked about recent changes, and then about who had married how many wives, which families had formed alliances...

The topics of their conversation were the usual gossip among noblewomen.

Actually, it was also evident that Olivia never discussed matters related to Federation decisions or governance.

She was a clever woman.

The two women paid no attention to anyone else as they chatted happily.

And Fang Hao couldn't just strike up a conversation with a servant nearby.

So he had no choice but to sit aside and casually flipped through the Book of Lords.

Watching people boast and chat in the regional channel felt more interesting than listening to their gossip,

especially since he didn't even know who the people they were talking about were.

Time passed, and the women's conversation remained lively, now apparently on the topic of hauntings in some old noble family's home.

In any case, not a word about serious matters was mentioned, everything else, they covered.

At that moment, the mansion's grand door opened again.

A robust man dressed in a noble robe walked in.

Dordy.

Hall of Justice, stationed leader of Silver Wing City.

Seeing Fang Hao and Rebecca there, Dordy paused, clearly surprised by how quickly the two had arrived.

Olivia, with a smile on her face, stood up and clasped Dordy's arm, saying, "You're finally back, you didn't see them; they were sitting there holding hands, so close."

Dordy, looking at Rebecca and Fang Hao, had a cold and imposing demeanor.

Only when he heard his wife's words did a smile break across his face.

"Is that so?"

"Absolutely!" Olivia leaned closer to him and said, "Rebecca and I have some secrets to chat about, and if you're not too busy, why not take Fang Hao for a tour around here?"

Dordy glanced at the two again.

Ultimately, he didn't refuse his wife's request and nodded, saying, "Fang Hao, come with me!"

Fang Hao glanced at Rebecca, stood up, and followed Dordy upstairs.

They ascended the spiral staircase and walked through a long corridor.

Stopping in front of a room.

The door opened and the servant went in first, setting down the Nightstone chandelier, lighting incense, and then serving hot tea and pastries.

"Alright, come in."

Demitrija stayed outside, and Fang Hao entered the room.

Inside, Dordy sat down by the desk, while Fang Hao took a seat in another chair.

[Heart of Valor—Dordy (Orange Tier 8 Hero)]

Previously, Fang Hao had seen Dordy at the council.

Sitting far away on the high platform of the upper house.

Now at this close distance, he could also see Dordy's attributes, the Leader of the Hundred Cities Federation, yet only an orange tier 8.

In terms of combat power, about the same as Demitrija maybe.

Dordy, a bulky man, was somber.

Invisibly, he exuded a kind of pressure.

"Did you come here because of the upper house matters?" Dordy spoke, his tone low and aloof.

Fang Hao replied, "Came to Silver Wing City for the affairs of the upper house, and here to accompany Rebecca to visit 'Olivia'."

Dordy, a bit curious, looked at the young man anew.

Not because of just the answer, but surprised by his tone of speech.

In this Federation, those old noble representatives and council members, when talking to him, all trembled a little, not very confident.

But here was Rebecca's young husband, speaking evenly, without any sign of restraint or nervousness.

Observing Fang Hao carefully, Dordy continued to speak, "You're very composed."

Fang Hao nodded, uninterested in discussing whether he was calm or not.

Being alone with Dordy was itself a rare opportunity.

Fang Hao said, "Lyss City entering the upper house, I want to know the attitude of 'Dordy' the Leader."

Asking that, "Are you in a position to decide this?"

"Of course!"

Dordy eyed him again.

And regardless of his possibly insincere words, since the other party was a guest, finding topics to talk about was normal.

Thinking for a moment, he resumed speaking, "As for this matter, Hall of Justice has not yet determined a stance, it requires further discussion."

Not stating a position at this time already represented his view.

It was understandable, considering the five members of the upper house; if there wasn't direct inclusion but a discussion in the middle, it likely meant that entrance would be difficult.

Not to mention the council vote, just one veto right of the five members of the upper house was enough to prevent Lyss City from getting in.

Who would willingly keep dividing out their power.

Fang Hao didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "Leader Dordy, just speak frankly, what contribution to Hall of Justice would need to be made for the council to fulfill its promise?"

Dordy frowned.

His words carried an implication of mocking him for not keeping promises.

The position that whoever resolved the Undead issue would enter the upper house was his own promise.

And now this turn of events, indeed, could infuriate anyone.

But what he had said was about nomination to the upper house, not direct entry.

"Your contribution to Hall of Justice? You're young, with quite the audacity..." Dordy leaned back, somewhat amused.
