Fang Hao sat in the chair, completely taken aback.
"Are you joking with me?"
Rebecca wore a serious look, exhibiting no signs of jesting.
"Do you think I would joke about something like this?"
Given Rebecca's character, she certainly wouldn't joke about something like this.
Yet, Fang Hao found himself curious.
Rebecca knew about his identity as a transmigrator and that he was an outsider, so why would she choose him?
It would be simpler for her to pick the second man in the city and live off him.
Wasn't she afraid that the power he displayed would threaten her political power?
"I'm curious, why not take your time to find a local? Why the rush?" Fang Haut asked, voicing his doubt.
Rebecca explained, "I received news that a representative from the council would arrive in Lyss City within three days. Although I'm not sure about his purpose, Lyss City cannot remain without a City Lord during this time."
