Chapter 562: Chapter 445, My New Husband_4


    Hubert, Groot, along with a ck-haired transmigrator in Hubert’s service, and a few bodyguards.


    On the other side was Reba, apanied by a group of officials from the city.


    “Madam Reba, there have been rumors that Lyss City is not letting the local merchants leave the city. Doesn’t that vite the council’s rules?” Hubert casually asked with a smile.


    The human territory is only so big.


    Whether they’re nobles or wealthy businessmen, their rtionships are a tangled web.


    Some collude for the sake of interest, while others are tied by marital rtionships.


    To put it bluntly, Reba’s lockdown of the city and the city-wide hunt for the faceless ones have long reached the ears of other cities.


    “It was merely to hunt down the Faceless Ones. After that period, the city gates have been opened to everyone. Anyone cane and go freely,” Reba answered calmly.


    Hubert continued to probe into events that happened in the city.


    Reba always managed to find a logical and unimpeachable reason to exin them.<div>


    Hubert changed the subject abruptly, saying, “Madam Reba, I deeply regret what happened to Lord Aubrey, but ording to the Council’sws, I’m afraid you can’t live here anymore. The Council will soon appoint a new City Lord to manage Lyss City.”


    As these words exited his mouth, the room fell silent.


    The apanying city officials instantly shut their mouths, no one uttering a single sound.


    These past few days, Reba has been causing a bloodbath in the city.


    A woman going berserk is even more terrifying than a man.


    Just as everyone was anxiously wondering what would happen next, Reba smiled and said, “The council does not need to worry about this. Before Lord Aubrey died, he left a will, whereupon his death a new City Lord would seed him. This new City Lord already held an important position in the city and is well-versed in the affairs of Lyss City.”


    Hubert’s brow furrowed momentarily, “Oh? There’s such a matter?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    “On top of that, I have already married the new City Lord. This too was a wish expressed by Aubrey before his death…” Reba spoke in a casual tone.


    It was as if the matter had nothing to do with her, like she was simply reciting a pre-written script.


    Hubert and Groot, among others, widened their eyes.


    They were astonished by Reba’s response.


    But Hubert understood why. Aubrey had indeed been a puppet City Lord, and it was essentially just swapping people after his death.


    What shocked him was how calmly Reba dealt with these matters.


    Compared to previous years where Reba would put on a show, it seemed she no longer wanted to act.


    She simply followed the rules, leaving no room for fault-finding.


    “Hehe! I’m quite eager to meet this new City Lord,” Hubert chuckled twice, leaning back in his chair.


    After a little while,


    the sound of rapid footsteps echoed down the hallway.


    Straight away, a group of soldiers armored in gold marched in.<div>


    Hubert opened his eyes wide. ‘What’s going on in the banquet hall?’ he thought.


    Before he could question Reba, Fang Hao, guarded by three heroes, strode in.


    Reba revealed a soft smile, turning to address the crowd, “Mister Hubert, Mister Groot, this is my husband, and the current City Lord of Lyss City, Fang Hao.”


    ng!<div>


    Hearing this name, the ck-haired attendant sitting next to Hubert suddenly stiffened.


    His wine ss dropped onto the table, sttering scarlet fruit wine in all directions.
