Shocking!
The Governor has been taken hostage!
If it were a forcible abduction, it wouldn't be as concerning.
At worst, we could rescue him; if not, it wouldn't matter. If the Lord was killed or unable to issue orders from the city, we could look for the two Vice Lords. If they're unavailable, we could continue to find other high-ranking officials to lead the situation.
The current issue is this.
The Governor wasn't taken hostage by force.
His mental state is perfectly normal; he hasn't fallen into any illusion. He is voluntarily being held and willingly obeying orders… how do you break this? We've never encountered such a situation!
Hang Yu glanced over the group, saying, "Put down your weapons!"
A high-ranking official from Jade City sternly admonished, "Release the Governor, or you'll never leave this Jade City!"
Hang Yu looked at him with a caring-for-the-fool expression, "Someone seems to misunderstand the situation. Teacher Su, remind them."
