The four-armed Minotaur charged at Jason, launching an attack. Jason struggled to fly upwards, trying to create distance between them and dodge the Minotaur's strikes. However, a powerful whirlwind surrounded Jason at all times, tightly wrapping around him. Affected by the whirlwind, Jason's flying speed decreased significantly, making it difficult for him to escape the Minotaur.

  Unable to shake off the Minotaur, Jason had no choice but to use his hands to block the attacks of the four-armed beast.

  "Smack!" "Smack!" Two sounds echoed as the Minotaur's fists struck Jason's palms, which he managed to catch and block. At the same time, the Minotaur's other two arms launched their attacks—

  "Thud!" "Thud!" Two heavy sounds rang out as the fists of the Minotaur slammed into Jason's chest and abdomen, knocking him down from mid-air. Jason coughed up a mouthful of blood and struggled to get back up from the ground.

  "Useless. Only your palms have the ability to deflect attacks. You can block at most two strikes, but A-Niu has four arms, so you can't withstand his attacks," the masked figure said mockingly from a short distance away.

  "Damn it..." Jason glared at the masked figure, feeling furious, but he couldn't refute the statement.

  The Minotaur continued to charge at Jason, unleashing a flurry of attacks. Jason desperately flew, attempting to shake off the Minotaur, but no matter where he flew, a powerful whirlwind followed him, severely affecting his mobility and making it difficult for him to escape the Minotaur through flight.

  The Minotaur's fists rained down on Jason like raindrops. Jason frantically used his palms to block, but as the masked figure had said, Jason could only block two attacks at a time, making it hard to deal with the four-armed Minotaur. Jason was continuously struck by the Minotaur's punches, leaving him dizzy and bleeding profusely.

  The rebels in the distance were shocked to see Jason being beaten mercilessly by the Minotaur. They gaped in disbelief.

  "Wow, that Minotaur is so fierce, it's like an adult beating a child, leaving Jason without any power to fight back."

  "That Jason isn't afraid of armored soldiers, yet he's being beaten like a dog by that monster, it's just ridiculous."

  "Who are the Minotaur and the person in the black cloak? Are they one of us?"

  "They shouldn't be; we don't have such people in our rebel forces."

  "That's strange. If they aren't from our rebel forces, then why are they helping us?"

  "Who cares? I hope they take down Jason quickly, so we can be saved."

  The rebels were discussing among themselves when suddenly a somewhat unfamiliar young man's voice came through the rebels' communicator: "Listen up, rebels! If you want to defeat the Sanctuary and save your people, you must all follow my commands and do as I say!"

  "Who are you, and how did you get among us?" The bald scarred man felt he didn't recognize the voice and thought it might be a spy from the Sanctuary, so he harshly reprimanded the communicator.

  "You guys forgot me so quickly? Don’t you remember the person who crashed your secret meeting five days ago in the basement of the Grand East Hotel in Hai Tian Town?"

  "The person who crashed our meeting?" The bald scarred man tried to recall, suddenly remembering something, and exclaimed, "So it's you, you're the assassin who tried to kill Governor Su Wen!"

  "Hehe, remember me now? It seems you all still recall me."

  The bald scarred man shouted, "You little brat, we haven't settled the score for last time, and now you come to cause trouble again. We don't have time to deal with you. Get lost!"

  "Is that really a good idea? If you don't want to follow my commands, then I'll just leave with that four-armed Minotaur."

  "Wait, you mentioned the four-armed Minotaur..." The bald scarred man looked puzzled at the Minotaur beating Jason, then glanced at the masked figure next to the small truck. Suddenly, he realized something and shouted, "Could it be that the person in the cloak and mask is you?!"

  "That's right. Let me make it clear: without my help, you will definitely be defeated by the Sanctuary and die here. I'll give you another chance—will you follow my commands or not?"

  "Uh, well..." The bald scarred man felt quite embarrassed. He wanted to agree but couldn't bring himself to. The others also remained silent, fully aware that this masked figure was their only hope. Without his help, they would all die here today.

  At that moment, Captain Guan's voice came through the communicator: "I understand. We'll do it your way. Listen up, I am Captain Guan. From now on, everyone will do as instructed by the voice you just heard. He is your commander from this moment on."

  "Alright, since Captain Guan said so, then let's do it that way." Although the bald scarred man had reservations about the masked figure, he had no choice but to compromise for the sake of survival.

  "I hope you really have a way to defeat the Sanctuary and aren't just blowing hot air."

  "Just tell us what you want us to do; as long as we can take down the Sanctuary's guys, we're in."

  The other rebels had no objections either. After all, they had witnessed Jason being beaten helplessly by the Minotaur, and they had no other options left. For now, they could only rely on the masked figure.
