He was a mining manager at the Rock City Mining Group, who had participated in the hunt for remaining mbers of the Miners’ Mutual Aid Association ten years ago, through which he ca across so of the Association’s propaganda materials and your email from a device presumably left by the Association’s leader.
He did not turn over the device or contact you at the ti and it has been ten years since, with the Miners’ Mutual Aid Association fading from public mory, that he finally sent the email.

You advised him to prioritize his safety, as living held hope.

Seeing the fire in the elder’s eyes reminded you of that sa fiery determination in the young man from before.
You urged the elder to learn how to hide and be vigilant, leaving behind your contact information.

Christos made a special trip to et you, and you enjoyed a great conversation.
He presented you with a book titled ‘What Distributes Wealth in This World?’, saying it was published three years ago by a friend of his who taught at Dawn University.
While not a renowned book, you felt it was an underrated gem.
That sa year, you started your third run for mayor; by then you had established a substantial base of support in Yilan City, and your na was recognized, but your opponent seed to have far more resources, as all conservatives appeared united against you.
At 50, you received 47% of the total votes in the mayoral election, the closest you had ever co, but you still lost to the conservative candidate by a 4% margin.
The third consecutive failure left you despondent, and during this ti, you learned of the suicide of Snava, the Mayor of Saint Joen City.
You attended his funeral, gazing at his body in silence.
At 51, your father passed away; you stayed by his side, holding his hand as he drifted into eternal sleep.
At 52, you took a break from social activities and started traveling between Federation cities with your wife, driving through the wilderness.

“However, before you could make it to Rock City, the old foreman ca to Yilan City, and you exchanged many stories with him, from the experiences of the Miners’ Mutual Aid Association to the overthrow of the Mining Group.
He stayed in Yilan City for a month, then continued northward.”
“With your final resolution, you rallied all the forces you could and once again entered the mayoral race, perhaps for the last ti in your life.”
“The opposition you faced was much weaker than before, and as Christos implented a series of ‘reforms’ in Dawn City, the major consortiums led by Nord Financial Consortium shifted their focus more to Dawn City, thus sowhat neglecting you, a multiple-ti loser.”
“At 58: Both you and the conservative candidate had slightly over 40% of the votes, neither surpassing 50%, and according to the constitution of Yilan City, the council had to vote again.
Ultimately, with the relationships you had cultivated over the years and a multitude of allies, you won by a narrow majority.”
“Even though it was a slim majority, you won and beca the newest mayor of Yilan City.
By the ti the major consortiums realized what had happened, you had already taken your oath of office under the witness of the honorary speaker of the city council.”

“On the day of your inauguration speech, countless people gathered in the square to cheer for you.”
“As the stock prices of Stars Pharma and Wel Group plumted dramatically, ‘K’s’ traces in the Federation grew increasingly prominent, and so people began to believe he was a divine being with unknown intentions.”

“Having t this young man once when he won his election years ago, you sent him a congratulatory telegram and personally visited Saint Joen City.”
“From Sienzi, you learned more details and signed a food supply deal with Saint Joen City and the Nolanka Group to alleviate so of Yilan City’s food issues.”

You clarified the tax issues of the major consortiums and issued hefty tax penalties, which were enough to cover the consortiums’ industries in Yilan City.”

“Soon after, led by Nord Financial Consortium, the Consortium Alliance announced sanctions on Yilan City, reducing loan support to Yilan City, restricting food sales to Yilan City, while also organizing local businesses in Yilan City to halt operations and lay off employees.”
The number of protests against you on the streets was increasing, especially in the bustling Saint Yilan District.
You visited Rock City and t Yvo and his brother Witt, who shared their experience managing the Miners’ Mutual Aid Association after overthrowing the Mining Consortium.
After leaving Rock City, you imdiately went to Dawn City.
It was your first eting with Christos after taking office, and after reaching a series of cooperative treaties and intentions of orders, you returned to Yilan City.
These orders from Dawn City alleviated so of your pressure, but more and more dia began to vehently criticize you.
In their words, you were an ignorant and stupid jackass, a libertine with a scandalous private life, a bad doctor who put slow-acting poison in the dicine distributed.
Suddenly, one day, you went from being the Mayor of Yilan City to the criminal of Yilan City.
The City Council initiated impeachnt proceedings against you, exacerbating the conflicts within your Ruling Alliance.
So radicals believed it was necessary to completely sweep the conservatives out of the City Governnt, while the conservatives began to concentrate their forces to fight back.
You had to give speeches everywhere to calm the strife.
After one speech, you received information that for so unknown reason, the Honorary Speaker had left Yilan City.
At the sa ti, you received news that the commander of the Southern City Defense Army might be planning a coup.
On the way from the speech venue, your vehicle was attacked.
Your Guard Captain drew the enemies away, and your deputy covered your escape.
But soon, you fell into a larger encirclent on the outskirts.
The number of people by your side was dwindling, you were severely injured, and the attackers claid to have kidnapped your daughter, demanding your surrender.
You ordered the mbers of your guard to retreat, and you faced the attackers alone.
Your mission is: Resolve the Confusions from the Abyss.
Have a great ti playing.
He Ao opened his eyes and looked around.
The night lights shone on the quiet and deserted streets, intense pain surrounded his body, and brilliant bursts of fire exploded next to him.
His field of view was completely blurred, only able to see so disordered shadows.
Countless enhanced bullets fell around him like raindrops.
Drip-drip-drop, blood flowed down his body.
He looked ahead, and a tall, burly man, nearly two ters tall, was clutching a red-haired girl and sneering at him.
As the red-haired girl struggled fiercely, the burly man raised his hand, and the long barrel of an electromagnetic cannon lifted, followed by a thunderous boom, a huge cannonball appeared in front of He Ao bearing a forceful blast.
He Ao activated his Super mory, watching the cannonball, and with a bloodied hand, suddenly grasped the projectile.
A violent sonic boom followed right behind this cannonball, instantly shattering the ground beneath the elderly man, accompanied by a roaring sound.
The next second, with a violent explosion, the entire cannonball abruptly exploded, bursting into fierce flas.
A blood-soaked figure walked through the burning flas, lifted his head, and looked at the ‘attackers’.
The brilliant night sky seed to fall silent in an instant; even the shooters forgot to pull their triggers, everyone was dumbfounded, watching the scene, watching the figure bathed in flas and gunfire.
Like a majestic Divine Being returning from Hell, he stood in the twisting darkness.
