After suffering three attacks, Yuri finally arrived at the governor's mansion after many twists and turns. Looking at the laser burn marks on the magnificent decorations at the entrance, his mood became even heavier.

On the way, he asked the soldiers who were escorting him about the specific details of the rebellion.

Because of their low rank, the soldiers were not aware of the full details of what happened.

All they knew was that the Governor's Office had suffered a severe blow during the rebellion, and many of the Governor's bloodlines had perished as a result, including the future Governor's heir.

"We have to face the facts."

Yuri took a deep breath and then walked forward.

After undergoing a series of rigorous checks, he was brought before Liu Bang, who was processing documents.

Looking at the nobleman whose face bore a resemblance to the governor, Yuri nervously rubbed his hands together. He didn't know whether he should tell the man in front of him that the governor had been murdered.

Ensuring the continuation of the family bloodline is the responsibility of every nobleman, and Liu Yi has done a very good job in this regard, so good that he doesn't even know how many sons he has.

He had never even met some of the children who were born later.

In this situation, it's unrealistic to expect Yuri, as the governor's private soldier, to know who Liu Bang was.

"Your Excellency, what are your orders?"

Liu Bang said expressionlessly, his inner self not as calm as he appeared.

How to tell his father the news of the deaths of all his siblings was a problem he could never solve.

Yuri quickly organized his thoughts and said, "We tried to contact the Governor's Office using communication equipment, but we haven't received a response. The Governor is worried that something might have gone wrong, so he sent me here to find out why."

"I heard that Lord Liu Dan has met with misfortune."

The atmosphere in the room instantly turned somber.

"That's right. To ensure the success of the rebellion, the Chaos cultists tampered with the food at the banquet."

"Ugh!"

Liu Bang sighed softly and continued, "It wasn't just him; most of the nobles of Zhen Dan were infected. If it weren't for the stomach problems he had that day, you probably wouldn't even have seen me."

Liu Bang looked somewhat dejected, and his words just now were a genuine expression of his feelings.

From the start of the rebellion until now, he has been busy with all sorts of things, hoping to force himself to forget those sad memories, but how easy is it to forget such things?

The eldest son has died, and according to the rules of inheritance, the position of governor should be inherited by Liu Dan's grandson.

To find out if Liu Yi's eldest grandson was still alive, Yuri tentatively asked, "Where are the others now?"

"There is no one else. Standing before you is the Governor's only remaining bloodline."

Upon hearing the words "sole bloodline," Yuri's brain went blank. It took him nearly three minutes to understand the meaning behind those four words.

This shocking news would take some time to process, so Liu Bang didn't disturb Yuri, but simply sat there quietly watching him.

Since the person in front of me is the governor's only bloodline, I have no choice but to tell him what happened in Starport.

After a series of internal struggles, Yuri said with a serious expression, "I have something very important to tell you, could you...?"

He glanced around at the soldiers on duty out of the corner of his eye.

To prevent assassination attempts by Salamansi followers, Liu Bang strengthened the security forces around him.

Faced with Yuri's somewhat strange request, Liu Bang frowned slightly and refused without hesitation.

"You can say whatever you want right here; their loyalty is beyond question."

"This isn't a matter of loyalty or disloyalty; it involves..."

Yuri simply couldn't utter the last few words.

Seeing the complex expression on Yuri's face, Liu Bang tapped the table repeatedly with his right hand.

Each time Yuri's heart was struck, it would tremble slightly.

Liu Bang was certain that the man in front of him was a member of the governor's private army, but he couldn't completely trust him, given how shocking his experiences had been in the past few days.

After much deliberation, he decided to trust the other party this time.

A well-trained assassin wouldn't be so foolish as to immediately put the target on guard.

"You may leave now."

"Yes, sir!" the two guards replied and turned to leave.

The door to the room slowly closed, leaving only Yuri and Liu Bang staring at each other.

"What is it that you can only report to me alone?"

Yuri said with a wry smile, "Not long ago, the governor was attacked by assassins and died."

"What did you say?!" Liu Bang slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

His feelings at this moment were no less than when he saw the bodies of his wife and children.

"What are you guys good for?!"

"Why would they allow an assassin to infiltrate so easily?!"

"The assassin who tried to kill the governor was a master of disguise, familiar with the layout of the underground command post and the guards' rotation schedule. He could even pass a genetic test, so we..."

A feeling of powerlessness swept over Liu Bang, causing him to sit back in his seat.

"us……"

"Don't say anything yet, I need some peace and quiet."

After the governor's death, Cinnamon lost its unified command, and the region was bound to remain in turmoil until a new governor was appointed.

The current situation presents problems in both Singapore and the city, and if not handled properly, the hard work of successive governors will be in vain.

It is impossible to reintegrate the scattered forces on one's own.

We can only rely on that guy's power.

But what is the price?

Liu Bang reached out and rubbed his temples.

Aside from my life, it seems I have nothing left to give up. If he wants it, what does it matter if I give up the governorship?

Having figured this out, Liu Bang looked up and gazed at Yuri, who was standing not far away.

"Your real purpose in returning to the Governor's Mansion is to contact my elder brother and have him succeed you as Governor, isn't it?"

"That's right, but it seems impossible now."

"You should go and rest now. I have some important things to do next."

Seeing that Liu Bang had already given the order to leave, Yuri had no reason to stay any longer.

He performed the Imperial Eagle salute to the last remaining descendant of the governor, then slowly retreated. When he reached the door, he turned and opened it, leaving.

"Life is unpredictable; no one could have imagined that the once illustrious governor's family would decline so quickly."

After expressing his feelings, Liu Bang picked up the hand-cranked wireless telephone handset on the table and dialed Xiao Yi's number.

There is still some time before the meeting of nobles.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Yi led the newly reorganized Crimson Blade First Regiment to a nearby Slaanesh Cult rebel position, intending to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

Just as the messenger delivered the radio to Xiao Yi, he had just chopped off the rebel leader's head.
