On this day, it was the date set by Prince Suwen. The Sanctuary had issued a notice that at noon today, over five hundred captured rebel soldiers would be collectively executed in the central square of Blue Sea City.

  “Nana, C.C. and I are going out. Please take care of the house by yourself,” Rulu said after greeting Nana that morning, preparing to leave with C.C.

  Before they set out, Rulu had already explained to Nana that his main purpose for going out this time was to stop the Sanctuary from executing the captured rebels. He warned her that this action would involve great risks, and they might return very late, or in the worst case, not return at all.

  Contrary to Rulu's expectations, Nana was surprisingly calm upon hearing his plans. She did not throw a tantrum like before; instead, just before Rulu left, she hugged him tightly and kissed him on the cheek.

  “Rulu, you must come back safely, for yourself and for me, okay?” Nana said solemnly as she looked at Rulu.

  “Don’t worry, I will definitely come back safely,” Rulu confidently patted his chest and assured her.

  “That’s great! I also want a hug and a kiss,” C.C. teased, watching Rulu and Nana with a playful expression, showing no signs of tension.

  Nana’s face flushed slightly, and she hugged C.C. as well, saying, “C.C., you take care too. If Rulu plans to do something foolish, please stop him.”

  “Alright, I’ll do my best,” C.C. replied.

  After that, Rulu and C.C. left the secret house together. They first went to the school where Rulu had previously studied. Near the school, Rulu found a small truck and, after confirming the items in the truck bed, he took out the pre-prepared truck keys and drove towards the central square of Blue Sea City.

  “Today, it seems there are fewer people in Blue Sea City,” C.C. remarked from the passenger seat, looking out the window. Many shops along the streets were closed, and there were significantly fewer pedestrians than usual. The people on the street looked hurried and worried, as if something major was about to happen. An uneasy atmosphere enveloped the entire Blue Sea City.

  Rulu said, “There are rumors that rebel forces from outside will attack Blue Sea City today. The citizens are worried that the rebels will actually come, fearing that they will be affected by the chaos, which has made them very tense.”

  C.C. asked, “What’s the situation with the Sanctuary? Have they taken any action after hearing these rumors?”

  “The Sanctuary neither denies nor confirms the rumors. They have only strengthened the defenses in Blue Sea City and deployed troops to set up a perimeter to resist the attacks from the outside rebels.”

  “Oh, so it seems there might be a big battle in Blue Sea City today. It will definitely become chaotic.”

  “Yeah, I plan to use the chaos in Blue Sea City to resolve the issues between me and Prince Suwen. This time, C.C., you need to assist me well.”

  “But I don’t have any special psionic powers. How can I assist you?”

  “I have my own arrangements for that. You just need to follow my instructions.”

  “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

  After a while, Rulu drove the truck to the central square of Blue Sea City. In the center of the square, a very spacious high platform had been newly built. Surrounding the platform was a dense crowd, consisting partly of the Sanctuary’s troops and partly of ordinary citizens who had come to watch the execution.

  Rulu found a position with a good view and parked the truck near the central square. He and C.C. stayed in the vehicle, patiently waiting and carefully observing the movements in the square.

  Suddenly, a man wearing a pink coat hurriedly walked onto the high platform, picked up the microphone, and spoke in a dry and muffled voice. Instantly, his voice echoed throughout the square:

  “Attention, everyone! Due to Governor Suwen and General Feihu being unwell in recent days, I, Jason, will take over the duties of both the governor and General Feihu to oversee today’s execution of the rebel soldiers. All troop deployments and movements on-site will be directed by me. All soldiers and citizens must obey my orders; those who disobey will be dealt with according to military law. Now bring the members of that rebel organization up here.”

  After he finished speaking, a large number of soldiers emerged from somewhere, escorting a group of people towards the high platform. The individuals being escorted had their hands bound behind their backs and were wearing black hoods, clearly captured members of the rebel organization.

  “As I expected, Prince Suwen did not show up. He must be hiding in some very secret place. To kill him, I need to first know where he is,” Rulu thought, using binoculars to observe the man named Jason on the high platform.

  “That’s him, Jason, the level five body-refining Ultra-capable brought in by Prince Suwen?” Rulu scrutinized the man in the pink coat on the platform. He appeared to be around fifty years old, standing about 1.7 meters tall, with a lean build and an unremarkable appearance.

  Although this middle-aged man named Jason looked plain and was not particularly strong, Rulu knew that he was not an ordinary person and would be difficult to handle. To find out where Prince Suwen was hiding, he had to start with Jason.

  After a while, more than five hundred rebel soldiers were brought to the high platform and forced to kneel down. The middle-aged man named Jason picked up the microphone again:

  “All the prisoners to be executed are now in position. The execution ceremony will take place in two hours. The governor once said that as long as the assassin who attempted to kill him voluntarily reveals himself and surrenders, he would release these prisoners without charge. I know that this assassin is in Blue Sea City and is likely hiding near the square. Now, assassin, listen carefully: if you want these people to live, come out quickly. This is your last chance.”
