“Ha ha ha, Governor, you were right. You’re here to assassinate me again,” General Fei Hu said with a smug smile as he opened the door and stepped out of the room, looking at Rulu.
Rulu struggled to get up from the ground, bending down to pick up the handgun that had fallen nearby. Just then, General Fei Hu pushed off the ground with his legs, and his body shot forward like a cannonball, flying seven or eight meters straight towards Rulu.
With a loud “bang,” Rulu was caught off guard and was knocked back by General Fei Hu, crashing heavily against the wall. The powerful impact left Rulu weak and unable to move, as he slumped down beside the wall.
“Ha ha, give up. This time, you can’t escape,” General Fei Hu said as he quickly walked towards Rulu, grabbing the front of his shirt with his strong arms and lifting him up.
“Let me see what you look like,” General Fei Hu said, holding Rulu with one hand while using the other to pull off the white smiling mask from Rulu’s face. At that moment, a strange light flashed in Rulu’s eyes. He stared into General Fei Hu’s eyes and sternly commanded, “Stop! Put me down now.”
“Yes… yes,” General Fei Hu replied, his face showing a look of respect as he carefully set Rulu down. Rulu took a few breaths, rested for a moment, and regained some strength. He took the mask from General Fei Hu’s hand and put it back on his face, then picked up the handgun that had fallen to the side.
Sounds of hurried footsteps echoed as soldiers guarding outside noticed the commotion in the villa. They rushed in through the front door, quickly ascending to the second floor, their guns aimed directly at Rulu.
“Tell them not to act rashly and to all back out,” Rulu said, positioning himself behind General Fei Hu, using his body as cover, while pressing the gun’s muzzle against the back of General Fei Hu’s head.
“Everyone, get out! No one is allowed in without my order!” General Fei Hu loudly commanded the soldiers. Hearing his words and seeing Rulu aiming a gun at General Fei Hu’s head, the soldiers realized he was under Rulu’s coercion and immediately left the second floor of the villa, retreating through the front door.
“That Governor Su Wen is truly insidious, coming up with this way to deal with me. Luckily, I have this Spiritual-power; otherwise, I’d really be done for today,” Rulu thought to himself. At this moment, he understood that Governor Su Wen was not in the villa; the conversation between General Fei Hu and Governor Su Wen was likely a ruse created through recording or electronic communication to trick him.

Rulu continued to maintain his mental control over General Fei Hu and questioned him, “Where is your Governor Su Wen? Where is he now?”
“I don’t know,” General Fei Hu shook his head.
“What? You don’t know where that guy is? Aren’t you responsible for protecting him?”
General Fei Hu explained, “I was indeed responsible for protecting the Governor for a while, but since Lord Jason arrived, the Governor’s protection has been handed over to him. Only Lord Jason knows the Governor’s whereabouts.”
“Jason? Who is that guy?”
General Fei Hu replied, “Lord Jason was invited by the Governor from the Sanctuary. He is very capable, a level five Refining body Ultra-capable, and even I cannot compare to him.”
“That bastard actually called someone from the Sanctuary to protect him,” Rulu said with a face full of resentment, feeling that the situation was becoming increasingly tricky. He asked again, “Where is that Jason now?”
“Not clear. Lord Jason’s whereabouts, like the Governor’s, are top secrets. No one knows where they are.”
“Impressive, this Su Wen really has a way about him. It seems I underestimated him,” Rulu realized that this assassination attempt had already failed, and he needed to leave quickly. He aimed his handgun at General Fei Hu and said, “Now you’re coming with me. You will do your best to cover my escape.”
“Just covering your escape is fine, understood,” General Fei Hu agreed immediately without a moment’s hesitation.
After a while, Rulu, holding General Fei Hu hostage, arrived at the villa’s front door. General Fei Hu ordered the soldiers outside to disperse, to put down their weapons, and to bring a vehicle over. The soldiers immediately complied, fetching a silver-gray small vehicle from elsewhere and placing it in front of the villa.
Rulu got into the car while still holding General Fei Hu hostage. General Fei Hu commanded all soldiers to stay put, not to pursue or attack. He then personally drove Rulu away from the villa, heading towards the Governor’s mansion.
“Thankfully, we are safe for now,” Rulu thought as he glanced back from the car. The guards near the villa followed General Fei Hu’s orders and did not pursue. As General Fei Hu drove Rulu swiftly through the Governor’s mansion, they were already very close to the entrance.
“Good, we are about to leave the Governor’s mansion. I’ll take care of this guy to avoid future troubles,” Rulu thought, aiming the handgun at General Fei Hu’s head. Due to Rulu’s mental control, General Fei Hu had not reacted at all to Rulu’s actions.
Just then, a strong wave of pain surged through Rulu’s head. He felt dizzy, his vision blurred, making it difficult to concentrate on maintaining control over General Fei Hu.
“Not good, I’ve overused my Spiritual-power; my strength has reached its limit,” Rulu suddenly recalled that this Spiritual-power could not be used indefinitely. Using it would backfire on himself; the more times he used it and the greater the intensity, the stronger the backlash would be. Today, he had used his Spiritual-power at high intensity and frequency, and his body was nearing its breaking point.
