"Alright." Zhou Bai turned on his personal terminal, let his parents know he was safe, and then went to the StarNet to browse the news.

Before I could even read the news, my hand slipped and I accidentally clicked on Li Ze's live stream.

Zhou Yang leaned against the treatment pod, too tired to move. When Zhou Bai turned on the live stream, he couldn't even muster the interest to glance at it.

“They said your good friend Li Ze is inside this mech,” Zhou Bai suddenly said.

Zhou Yang slowly raised his head and looked at the screen. The next second, his eyes lit up. "That's right, it's Li Ze. No one but Li Ze can do this."

Zhou Bai raised an eyebrow. "You seem to have complete faith in him."

Zhou Yang shook his head. "It's not that I have confidence in him, it's that of all the netizens in the Empire."

At this moment, another group of people surged towards Xinggang.

These people's clothes looked disheveled, but their complexions were ruddy, their expressions calm, and they showed no signs of fear or panic. They were quite different from the people who had been there before.

Everyone was so focused on escorting them to the starport to board their starship that they didn't notice anything amiss.

However, just as they passed He Xingjue's treatment pod, an unexpected change occurred.

With a loud boom, flames erupted and dust flew everywhere.

Zhou Yang was blown away, and Zhou Bai was so shocked that his eyes widened in horror. He rushed out to help.

"Protect the commander!" Ishikawa shouted.

Ignoring their own injuries, the guards rushed toward the treatment pod.

However, the next second, an overwhelming pressure enveloped them. They swayed, immediately kneeling or falling to the ground. Their bodies convulsed and spasmed involuntarily, their teeth grinding, and they couldn't even speak.

"He Xingjue?" An ordinary-looking man kicked open the door of the treatment pod, grabbed He Xingjue by the collar with his long, slender hand, and pulled him out of the treatment pod.

He Xingjue opened his eyes blankly, looking at the person in front of him, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know," the man said calmly. "Li Ze killed my men, so I will kill you."
