The girl's whimpering stopped abruptly.

The cloaked man at the head of the group twitched his eyes; he felt all too familiar with this feeling of being confronted.

As a member of the royal family not recognized by the empire, he knew that he was a mistake from birth.

He was merely a tool of the empire, a weapon of the empire, a person who bore the imperial surname but was not recognized.

The only freedom he possessed was to openly and honestly play the role of a gentleman using a false identity.

A gentleman's identity that he longed for.

He took on many roles for himself.

He kept himself extremely busy.

To numb oneself with this.

He mistakenly believed himself to be an ordinary movie star, thinking that the empire no longer needed him to act behind the scenes. However, he underestimated the empire's enemies and ambitions.

Looking at Qu Jian'er, who was reasoning with the girl.

He felt that the other person was somewhat familiar.

He seemed familiar.

Where have I been criticized?

Just as his thoughts began to become chaotic.

Qu Jian'er focused her gaze on the cloaked figure and said excitedly, "Are you deliberately letting yourself drift off? Are you hypnotizing yourself, trying to die in some mission?"

A single sentence perfectly captures the inner world of the cloaked man.

The cloaked man didn't understand Qu Jian'er's excitement.

Then I heard it.

Qu Jian'er kindly suggested, "There are even better ways to hypnotize someone, like spending some time in jail. Once inside, remember to study philosophy and scientific theories. Reform yourself well and try to get out as soon as possible so we can build a better home together."

Her dark-themed outfit and sarcastic remarks felt perfectly natural.

The cloaked figure carefully examined Qu Jian'er's face, while the person behind him hesitated whether to make a move.

He left with his men.

Wait until you can no longer see Qu Jian'er.

The subordinate asked, "Why did you give up, sir?"

The cloaked figure's hoarse voice said, "You can't defeat someone who can see into the hearts of others."

The subordinate asserted: "The master wants to embrace death."

The cloaked man did not answer.

He parted ways with these people and didn't want to know what punishment he would receive for failing the mission.

Shedding the cloak stained with the aura of slaughter, etc.

He stood in front of a mirror.

If Qu Jian'er were here.

She might recognize him as someone she had met once before, the movie star who called himself "Mu Qing" on the spaceship.
