Chapter 294: Chapter 245, How Is it Her_1
Wen Mansha won, and Ereno’s head was cut off?
The executives and vice-executives, all paused in their actions.
Ereno had rallied so many people in the city, how could he possibly fail with the number of undead left by Wu Heng?
Moreover, some of the undead were stationed in the Outer City Area.
How could this be the result?
Gomez turned his head abruptly, “Did Wu Heng not leave?”
“We don’t know. We didn’t see Wu Heng throughout the fight, but there was a skeleton mage who could also transform the undead.” A member reported.
The two of them understood immediately.
Wu Heng was gone, but he had left behind a skeleton mage with the same abilities.
As long as the battlefield situation allowed, continuous transformation of the troops could be achieved.
“What’s the situation over there now?”
“Wen Mansha is leading the team to the City Lord’s Mansion.” A team member asked, “Should we stop them?”
Gomez frowned slightly.
“We won’t intervene, just let the tamed beasts keep an eye on them.” Gomez continued.
A gang member blinded by rage may not be able to calmly analyse the pros and cons.
There was absolutely no need to do such thankless tasks.
“Understood, Executive!”
…
Snake Badge Consortium.
The same news was also conveyed here.
When ‘Laisia’ heard about the undead’s victory, her eyes widened a bit.
As expected, Wu Heng had made arrangements before leaving.
This man, how could he possibly not foresee ‘Ereno’ making a move.
“What are they doing now?”
“Wen Mansha, leading all the undead soldiers, is heading towards the City Lord’s Mansion.” The guard reported.
Laisia yawned and said, “I see, we don’t need to bother about the rest. Oh, have someone prepare a congratulatory gift, nothing too expensive, tomorrow I will go to congratulate the new City Lord.”
“Alright, Miss.” The guard left.
Laisia took off her armor and changed into her nightgown.
She headed towards the bedroom.
“Everything is ready, and it kept me up until now.”
…
Then, the battle at the City Lord’s Mansion ended without any suspense.
The undead army directly invaded the building.
They claimed the power center of Lundham City, the City Lord’s Mansion.
When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room.
Wen Mansha was already seated on the City Lord’s throne.
Thump thump thump~!
A sober gang member walked in excitedly, “Sister-in-law, all the servants of the City Lord’s Mansion have been dismissed, and those related to Ereno have been killed.”
“Hmm, have our people take over all the city walls, do not disturb the citizens, we are no longer a gang now.” Wen Mansha rested her chin on her hand as she spoke.
“Yes, sister-in-law.”
“Don’t call me sister-in-law anymore, if someone hears it, they will think we are still a gang.”
The member paused, “Then call you City Lord?”
“Call me City Lord for now, we will discuss later what is appropriate to be called.”
“Understood, Ci… City Lord.”
Just as the member was about to leave, Wen Mansha continued, “Bring the Executive of the Association and Laisia from the consortium over here.”
“Yes, City Lord.”
The member quickly left to arrange for these matters.
…
A short while later.
Footsteps could be heard from outside.
Gomez, the Executive of the Association, and Laisia of the Consortium arrived one after the other.
Before they could speak, their gaze fell on the slender figure next to Wen Mansha.
Dressed in a robe, wearing a mage’s high crown.
Both hands behind his back, body straight as a pin.
The exposed face and wrist were eerily white bones.
The Skeleton Mage from last night’s intel, his level was definitely not low, definitely higher than Wu Heng’s.
In addition, there were a few high-level skeleton attendants, one of them, judging from the weapons and equipment, was the former City Lord ‘Ereno’.
From now on, this City Lord’s Mansion would definitely be the most powerful force in this city.
Wen Mansha smiled and got up to greet them, “Miss Laisia, Executive Gomez.”
“Congratulations on becoming the City Lord, Sister Wen Mansha.” Laisia waved her hand and the guard behind her presented the gift.
Wen Mansha also displayed a more composed and dignified demeanor than the gang’s sister-in-law, gestured for the attendant to take the gift, and invited them to sit down.
Gomez didn’t come with a gift, pretended he didn’t know and asked, “Miss Wen Mansha, what happened?”
Wen Mansha sighed softly and said, “Don’t mention it. Yesterday, as soon as my master left, Ereno led his troops to attack our city area. However, they started infighting halfway through. We took advantage of the opportunity to counter-attack and barely managed to win.”
‘Master’ was naturally the maid’s term for her owner.
It was now made clear that although I am sitting in this position, everything is still under my master.
Upon hearing this, Gomez looked surprised, “So much happened last night.”
Glancing at both of them and Laisia, he continued, “Ereno has been managing the city for decades and definitely wouldn’t want to let go of half the city willingly. It’s ironic that he dug his own grave.”
Wen Mansha sighed again, “My master did say when he left, if ‘City Lord Ereno’ abide by the agreement, then everyone would manage half the city each. But who would have thought… Alas, it turned out like this.”
Laisia bluntly said, “The way Ereno has been managing Lundham City gets worse by the day, it’s just as well that he’s dead, there’s nothing more to say.”
“Thank you, Miss Laisia. If there’s anything you need in the city in the future, feel free to mention it to me.” Wen Mansha said, then turned back to Gomez, “Please report to the Association on my behalf that I will be managing Lundham City from now on. Also, write a letter to my master to inform him of the situation here.”
At this point, there was no reason for Gomez to offend Wu Heng on behalf of a dead person.
He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll explain this matter to the headquarters. As for Wu Heng, you can write the letter yourself and I’ll have the association deliver it to Gold and Silver Island.”
“Thank you, Executive.”
The few of them continued chatting for a while.
Both leaders didn’t stay long.
After greeting each other, they went their separate ways.
…
City Lord’s Mansion.
Wu Heng instructed ‘Glenda’ and ‘Xiao Xiao’ to search separately.
Thoroughly searching every corner of the Mansion.
In addition to the basement and warehouse under the City Lord’s Mansion, there should be more hidden storage areas.
It couldn’t be possible that there were no reserves after running Lundham City for so many years.
Not long after, Xiao Xiao returned without anything to show for the search.
‘Glenda’ on the other hand, flew back with news.
“Over here!”
Wu Heng and Xiao Xiao followed him into the City Lord’s study.
Pointing at the wall where a painting hung, Glenda said, “There’s a cavity behind this wall. It holds many precious items and gold coins.”
“Break it down!”
A skeleton immediately stepped forward to do the job.
Glenda stopped them hastily, “Wait! This isn’t a wall. It’s a door etched with illusion runes. We can open it once we find the handle.”
Carving runes on a door, is he out of his mind?!
Wu Heng moved forward to inspect the area closely and indeed, found some indications.
He reaches out, putting his hand on the wall and a door handle morphs into existence.
He twists it gently and the door clicks open.
Truly, it was a hidden room about 30 square meters in size. A treasure chest lay in the center of the room with splendid paintings, various artifacts and jewels lining the walls on either side.
As he moved toward the chest Wu Heng asked, “Is there any trap inside?”
“No.” Glenda replied.
Ghosts cannot touch tangible objects, but they can phase through them.
Once he made certain that there were no hazards, he opened the chest without any hesitation.
The very instant the lid was lifted, a brilliant golden light reflected in their eyes.
“Wow, so much gold!” Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
If they bagged 200 gold coins per pouch, there might be enough coin here to fill 100 bags.
Lundham really was quite good at hoarding wealth.
No wonder, he didn’t flee even when Hammer Party invaded and even tried to reclaim half the city this time.
Having stored all gold coins and artifacts, Wu Heng looked towards Glenda again, “Anything else?”
“No. There are some loose silver coins in the drawers.”
“Alright, we don’t need those.”
They weren’t going to strip this place bare either. It was going to stay in use for Wen Mansha.
Wu Heng would have a place to stay when he returned.
…
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
As Wen Mansha entered, the two ghosts hurriedly returned to his body.
“My Lord, Gomez and Laisia have left. They don’t oppose us managing the city, especially Miss Laisia. She even brought a congratulatory gift.”
“They’re both bright individuals, they know how to make their choices.” Wu Heng sat down nearby.
Laisia would surely support him.
His management of the city would also prove beneficial to her.
At the very least, it would be better than when Ereno was in power.
As for Gomez, a cunning guy like him would never risk his neck defending a dead City Lord.
Wen Mansha sat down on his laps and continued, “Do we proceed with our plan now?”
“Hmm, proceed as planned.”
Wu Heng turned his hand and two large chests appeared at his feet.
He kicked it open revealing loads of silver coins.
“In total, there are ten thousand silver coins. I entrust them to you. Use them as the seed money to kick start the city again.” Wu Heng spoke.
“Wow, that’s a lot!”
“Behind that painting is a secret room where you can put the money, or alternatively just store it in your Space Ring.” Wu Heng added.
Wen Mansha nodded. She shifted slightly before whispering, “My Lord, I don’t want you to leave.”
Wu Heng smiled, pinched her cheek before giving her a quick kiss and said, “I’m going to be back anyway, why bring that up again?”
Wen Mansha straddled over him, her tongue darting out for a kiss.
They parted after a while, both of them breathing slightly heavy, “Come back to see me soon.”
“Once things have settled down over there, I’ll come back to see you. Stay safe.” Wu Heng responded.
“Alright.”
Thump Thump Thump~!
At this point, voices from the city’s functional executives could be heard from outside the door, “City Lord, the city officials and city council representatives have arrived.”
Wen Mansha pecked his cheeks.
After readjusting her clothes, she replied, “Good, I’ll be there shortly,” before waving goodbye and leaving the room.
After Wen Mansha left the study, Wu Heng put on the Illusion Veil, and left the City Lord Mansion.
He put a hat on after reaching the outskirts of the city in the south, and boarded a train.
…
On the other hand.
Wu Heng arrived at the hotel and pushed the door open only to see Mini and Andre Willow chatting with each other.
Seeing Wu Heng return, they both seemed delighted.
“My Lord.”
Wu Heng walked in, “Have you had dinner?”
“We have, did you have dinner yet, My Lord?” Andre Willow pulled out a chair for him.
Wu Heng sat down, “I have.”
In a quiet voice, Andre Willow asked, “My Lord, did everything go smoothly?”
The fate of her people in Lundham City was tied to Wen Mansha’s.
“Indeed, the entire city is now ours.”
