The police's inaction nearby was of great concern to Feng Yi. He asked Eggy to look after Hugo and to monitor the situation in the vicinity, instructing that if anything went awry, to notify him immediately. After giving these instructions, Feng Yi quickly used his comms device to try and contact the city police station.

Regrettably, after waiting for a while, no one came to receive him. The reception officer only mentioned that the police chief was temporarily away. With no choice left, Feng Yi planned to leave, but just then, a luxurious limousine suddenly appeared outside the imposing police station building—an indication that it belonged to someone of status. After a moment of thought, Feng Yi decided to approach and ask a few questions.

The person sized up Feng Yi (who had his face changed) and asked who he was.

Of course he was a person. Was identity so important? Feng Yi's purpose was to find the police chief and consult about the security situation, but before he could finish expressing his desire to speak with the police chief, the elder dismissed him abruptly with a curt "The Chief's not here."

Understanding that seeking help from the local police officers would be futile, Feng Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Young man, I see you've been pacing around for quite some time. What troubles you?" The old lady sweeping nearby couldn't understand what was bothering Feng Yi, and kindly approached to ask.

"Well… I was looking for the police chief."

"Wasn't that person you were talking to just now the police chief?"

"What, are you saying that the elderly man from before is the chief?"

"Yes, weren't you just speaking with the chief? Why are you still standing here waiting like a fool?"

The old lady had no idea why Feng Yi was looking for the police chief, but her words instantly reignited the simmering anger within Feng Yi!

He merely wanted to report some civil issues. Feng Yi was well aware that the security of remote planets was chaotic. After all, the Icebird star harbored many mecha factions from beyond its borders, creating a mixed and disorderly environment. The Apophis family was one of the best among these civilian factions. The consequences of war spread, resulting in the natives lacking adequate management, which was somewhat understandable.

But this was beyond a lack of management—it was blatant inaction! No wonder the Capital Military Department had failed to discover any news about Hugo. This neglectful behavior at the grassroots level was probably intertwined with the chaotic security situation. The Border Town Police Station, huh? Well, Border Town Police Station, it's not just about your station—even if I were an administrator of the Icebird district, I would make sure you face consequences.

Feng Yi clenched and unclenched his fists several times...

Under any other circumstances, he would have had numerous ways to apprehend that miserable old man, but not at this particular moment when revealing his identity was not an option.

Indeed, except for John, no one could be certain whether he was even alive.

Of course, that excluded the Jade Clear Sect. Feng Yi wasn't worried about the Jade Clear Sect. When dealing with such reclusive and enlightened individuals, you didn't need to worry about potential problems, because they might understand the implications of provoking a terrifying enemy even better than you. They aren't afraid of offending you, Kexiao, or even a sovereign power. They might even change their stance due to certain interests. However, they would certainly have reservations about the Revenge Shadow Rider.

For this reason, regardless of the decisions made by the Jade Clear Sect leader, he would always leave himself two ways out. Back during the Twin Stars incident, he put himself in a perilous situation only to turn around and walk away. Atop Immortal Mountain, he also came to Feng Yi with a 'request.' Feng Yi knew that it wasn't that he didn't want to kill him; he just wasn't confident about it. Those seemingly nonchalant actions actually left a significant buffer between them.

Feng Yi wasn't worried about the Jade Clear Sect at all. Even if his identity leaked, someone would have to believe it, which was unlikely given his current disguise. In contrast, factions to the left and right within the country deserved more attention. Any messages sent to the Capital Military Department might not be secure. After all, there was a Noah as capable as Eggy at the Capital. How could you be sure that the messages sent to Greedy Wolf and your trusted generals wouldn't be intercepted by Noah and fall into the hands of the left or right factions?

Hmph! A gathering of incompetent rabble at a hub of corruption. It was time to clean up the murky state of affairs on Icebird—it was well overdue. Who was Feng Yi? A man who dared to act and speak up, who could confront adversity. Even national heroes like Hugo could end up in such a dire situation. He couldn't tolerate it. Feng Yi's approach might be extreme, but as a Special Envoy, he was determined to show the villains and scoundrels what independent enforcement rights really meant!

Without further ado, Feng Yi added another directive for John to mobilize 1,000 elite troops to Icebird star. This was undoubtedly an indication of preparing for a fight. Yes, as a remote frontier planet, aside from the central region, the cities at the fringe had long been in a state of constant turmoil. Terrorists, mafia, internal disputes among civilian factions, and the movement of crime and smuggling were never absent there.

—— Far in the outer space of the Mardis Domain

The Flaming Legion, a fleet that had lost its Supreme Commander, had been silently stationed, waiting in stillness... Not a single military general, not even Greedy Wolf himself, dared to mobilize this fleet without proper authorization after learning that John had been searching for Feng Yi for days. The general's subtle realization of what the silence might imply told its own story.

For over a month, the fleet, which seemed to have lost its soul, carried on with its daily drills unchangingly. They were federal soldiers, and only through unceasing training could they prove that they were still alive—this was not living in a dream, but alive in the hope of liberating Mardis, alive in the anticipation of a better future, as none of the brothers had received any news from their Regiment Commander. Thus, they all firmly believed he was still alive.
