"Hahaha, the Governor was right. You really came to assassinate again." Feihu General opened the door and walked out of the room with a smug smile on his face, saying to Rulu.

  Rulu struggled to get up from the ground, bending down to pick up the gun that had fallen nearby. At that moment, Feihu General stamped his feet on the ground. Immediately, his body shot forward like a bullet, flying seven or eight meters straight towards Rulu.

  With a dull "bang," Rulu couldn't dodge in time and was hit by Feihu General. He flew back and hit the wall hard. The powerful impact made Rulu lose all strength in his body. Rulu collapsed by the wall, unable to move.

  "Hehe, give up. This time, there's no way you can escape." Feihu General quickly walked towards Rulu who was collapsed by the wall, grabbed Rulu's clothes at the chest with his strong arm, and lifted him up.

  "Let me see what you look like." Feihu General held Rulu with one hand and grabbed Rulu's mask with the other, lifting the white smiling face mask. At that moment, a strange light flashed in Rulu's eyes. He stared into Feihu General's eyes and commanded sternly: "Stop! Put me down now."

  "Yes... yes." A respectful expression appeared on Feihu General's face as he carefully put Rulu down. Rulu took a few breaths, rested for a while, and regained some strength. He took the mask from Feihu General's hand, put it back on his face, and picked up the gun that had fallen nearby.

  Chaotic footsteps sounded as the soldiers guarding outside, noticing the commotion inside the mansion, rushed in through the main door and quickly came to the second floor. The muzzles of their guns were all pointed at Rulu.

  "Tell them not to make any rash moves. Everyone must leave." Rulu stood behind Feihu General, using his body as a shield, and placed the muzzle of his gun against the back of Feihu General's head.

  "All of you get out! Without my order, no one is allowed to enter!" Feihu General shouted orders to the soldiers. Hearing Feihu General's words and seeing Rulu pointing a gun at Feihu General's head, the soldiers knew that Feihu General was being held hostage by Rulu. They immediately left the second floor of the mansion and all retreated through the main door.

  "That Governor Su Wen is really insidious, coming up with this method to deal with me. Fortunately, I have this Spiritual-power. Otherwise, I would have been caught here today." Rulu thought to himself. By now, he knew that Governor Su Wen was not in this mansion. The earlier conversation between Feihu General and Governor Su Wen was probably a false impression created using recordings or electronic communications to trick him.

  Rulu continued to maintain mental control over Feihu General and questioned him: "Where is your Governor Su Wen? Where is he now?"

  "I don't know," Feihu General shook his head.

  "What? How can you not know where he is? Aren't you responsible for protecting him?"

  Feihu General said: "I was responsible for protecting the Governor earlier, but since Lord Jason arrived, the Governor's protection duties were handed over to Lord Jason. Only Lord Jason knows the Governor's whereabouts."

  "Jason? Who is that guy?"

  Feihu General said: "Lord Jason is someone the Governor invited from the Sanctuary. He's very powerful, a level five Refining body Ultra-capable. Even I am no match for him."

  "This bastard actually called someone else from the Sanctuary to protect him." Rulu said resentfully, feeling the situation was becoming more complicated. He asked again: "Where is this Jason now?"

  "I don't know. Lord Jason's whereabouts, like the Governor's, are top secret. No one knows where they are."

  "Not bad, this Su Wen really has some skills. Seems I underestimated him." Rulu realized that this assassination attempt had failed, and he needed to leave quickly. Pointing his gun at Feihu General, he said: "Now you will come with me. Do your best to cover me as I leave here."

  "Just cover your escape, right? I understand." Feihu General didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately agreed.

  After a while, Rulu, holding Feihu General hostage, came to the front door of the mansion. Feihu General ordered the soldiers outside to disperse, put down their weapons, and bring a car over. The soldiers immediately complied, bringing a silver-gray car and placing it in front of the mansion's main door.

  Rulu got into the car with Feihu General as his hostage. Feihu General ordered all soldiers to stay where they were, not to follow, and not to attack. Then he personally drove the car with Rulu, leaving the villa garden and heading towards the exit of the Governor's Mansion.

  "Good, temporarily safe now." Rulu sat in the car, looking back. The guards near the villa garden, following Feihu General's orders, didn't pursue. Feihu General drove Rulu through the Governor's Mansion at high speed, getting very close to the main gate.

  "Good, we're about to leave the Governor's Mansion. I'll kill this guy to avoid future trouble." Rulu thought to himself, pointing the gun at Feihu General's head. Feihu General, still under Rulu's mental control, had no reaction to Rulu's actions.

  At that moment, a strong, sharp pain came from Rulu's head. Rulu felt dizzy, his vision blurred, making it difficult to concentrate on controlling Feihu General.

  "Not good, I've used too much Spiritual-power. My strength has reached its limit." Rulu suddenly remembered that this Spiritual-power couldn't be used indefinitely. Using Spiritual-power simultaneously caused a backlash on oneself. The more times it was used and the greater the intensity, the stronger the backlash. Today, he had used Spiritual-power with high intensity and frequency, and his body was nearly unable to bear it.
