Feng Yi was speechless, "Thanks, then... farewell."

"Will we really meet again, special envoy of the Federation, the Revenge Shadow Rider who never admits defeat?"

"Who knows, I'm always unlucky. One jinx and probably no more seeing each other."

Farewell, never to meet again—probably the next and only time would be on the news, with little chance in reality.

Watching Feng Yi's carefree departure, Roland's eyes welled up with sorrow. He and he were alike, their figures departing were so similarly poignant...

Unable to move, Roland stood silently watching his slow receding figure until it faded away at the end of the road...

It had been a long time since he tasted the flavor of melancholy, and everything he did, perhaps, was just to see one more glimpse of the same scene as that person's legacy.

Roland's gaze seemed to transcend time, reaching for that unattainable distance. As a gust of wind and sand brushed past his eyes, a crystal tear slid down... When he opened his eyes again, the figure had completely disappeared into the crowd...

Heavy with thought, Feng Yi did not continue his investigation work on the way back. He had already roughly grasped the necessary intelligence, and it was time to prepare for his real mission.

In his intelligence gathering, there was a secret military meeting in Saudi at three in the afternoon in a few days, with all the major families and factions attending. He couldn't assure that he alone could achieve anything, so he needed to prepare thoroughly in advance to ensure that the 3,000 elite troops of the Blazing Legion could successfully descend on the bewildering planet, possibly achieving the strategic objective in one fell swoop.

During this not-too-long wait, Eggy's special ability was an indispensable key component.

Feng Yi then made a detailed tactical plan based on the intelligence he held, and after repeated checks to ensure there were no flaws, he sent the plan through Eggy's special ability to the asteroid belt.

It was at this moment that Jiu Ling unexpectedly burst into the room, startling Feng Yi with her sudden arrival. He instantly drew his revolver and aimed it at the newcomer.

The stifling heat seemed frozen by the instant stillness of time...

Jiu Ling had long since left him behind, so why would she suddenly come to find his room in Shabak territory? Her threat on the battlefield was not to be taken lightly; if Feng Yi could silently eliminate Jiu Ling right now, he would not mind taking the opportunity.

But Jiu Ling took Rafael's uncharacteristically impulsive action as a reflex, not caring as she stepped forward, speaking to him while walking, "Leave this place as soon as you can, go anywhere."

Feng Yi slowly lowered his weapon. He didn't understand the meaning behind Jiu Ling's words—the original pursuit of Jiu Ling was only to gain intelligence from her. He said, "Yo, long time no see. Have you changed your mind?"

"I am a soldier, I don't have time to consider matters of emotion, this is the only message I can reveal to you now, leave." Jiu Ling glanced back at him, then walked out of the room without looking back.

Feng Yi clenched his fists several times, then released them just as often... He truly couldn't bring himself to strike a woman who was considering his wellbeing, but from Jiu Ling's insinuations, it seemed likely that something untoward was about to happen.

Soon enough, Jiu Ling's words were confirmed. The frontline battle in Saudi was fierce, and the Military Department's rear was not peaceful either. The morning after Feng Yi had planned to make his announcement, Prince Shabak's manor was suddenly surrounded by hundreds of Secret Service warriors from Saudi, leaving no avenue for escape.

After several days of investigation, to be precise, before her arrival, Jiu Ling had already gathered ample evidence against Shabak. Her appearance was merely to carry out her duty to extract various charges and, having been given the sole discretion to enforce by Kexiao, Jiu Ling's words were essentially the will of Kexiao.

Charge One: Human experimentation within body modification projects.

Charge Two: Under the pretense of nobility, establishing personal military forces, colluding with powerful figures, with the suspicion of conspiracy to rebel.

Charge Three: The secret training of assassins, of course, was a charge Kexiao arbitrarily assigned to stabilize the situation in the rear on a temporary basis.

Shabak was caught off guard by the abnormal move, something even Feng Yi had not anticipated, especially at a critical time like this, throwing everything into chaos. He was uncertain whether this would halt the secret meeting scheduled for 3 p.m. the day after next.

However, this could also be an opportunity; as the saying goes, when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer too. Embracing the principle of "creating chaos within chaos," Feng Yi suddenly thought that he could use this situation to his advantage.

He decided to exploit Shabak's identity to notify those nobles tied to a war chariot, a task which could easily be accomplished through the fabrication of false intelligence by Eggy.

Shortly after Shabak was politically charged, many royal nobles on the same boat received a one-time encrypted message, sent by Shabak himself. The handwriting was very brief: "I'm done for, and none of you will escape."

The menacing tone of his words made many nobles realize the gravity of the situation, especially the charge of establishing private armed forces, which alone was enough for conviction. The national council could find various reasons to let you quickly die in prison.

In a frantic attempt to verify the truth, many panicked nobles repeatedly scouted Shabak Manor. As people had seen, Shabak had indeed been taken away. In fact, the manor's being surrounded by hundreds of mechanized soldiers was never a secret.

Shabak's threat was far more than just a threat; it was like a bomb. If he was done for, this mean little person, even if he had to stoop to the vilest act, would ensure that no one else got off lightly. But shortly after, the nobles received communications from another individual.

This person was Rafael, who had been inseparable from Shabak recently. To outsiders, the two were undoubtedly the closest of partners. It was obvious what Rafael's message meant, even if one didn't need to think too hard about it.

If Rafael knew their secrets, the nobles would not be surprised. Perhaps he could be a turning point.

Thus, that very night, a total of eight individuals conducted a secret discussion within a secluded villa, lasting several hours...

Of course, the major powers did not truly appear in person. The ones who made it to the villa were all trusted confidantes. During this talk, Rafael straightforwardly admitted that the information he knew was only one-sided, which could be deduced from the way he spoke. Some of those who were usually very close to Shabak were people Rafael knew nothing about.

Naturally, what he expressed was succinct: caught in this maelstrom, no one could ensure their own safety, including the unfortunate himself. Only by pulling together could they survive this ordeal, an affair that entangled not just personal interests but entire families. And now, they were left with many choices.
