That woman... is a bit mysterious, but she seems to be a pretty nice person.

Chu De thought.

He walked out of the room and suddenly thought that he seemed to have forgotten to tell the woman that he would sometimes not answer the phone. After sending the message, she just waited for his reply.

However, when Chu De turned around, he suddenly saw the woman standing in front of the window of the second-story building looking at him.

That look was the most complicated look Chu De had ever seen in his life, and Chu De couldn't understand the emotion in it.

...But for a moment, Chu De felt that this woman wanted to kill him.

With a flash before his eyes, Chu De noticed that the woman at the window was looking lazy. She yawned and waved to Chu De.

...did you read it wrong?

Chu De was stunned for a while, thinking that he might have been dazzled, so he didn't think much and turned his head again.

After Chu De left, the people upstairs finally completely lost all expressions on their faces.

"So...that's what happened."

She said to herself.

"It turns out that my brother was originally that kind of person."

…

"Sir Governor, what should be done about the third district?"

In the warm room, an antique fireplace is burning brightly.

This is the house of the Governor, who is in charge of all slums.

The Governor is a person who looks very cold to outsiders, which always makes people worry about whether he can manage the things in the slums well.

He has blond hair that is close to white and a pure white complexion. Whenever he looks at other people, others will involuntarily make small noises in front of him.

"The untouchables in the third district are making endless noises and requesting the Governor to immediately give them an order to suppress these untouchables..."

The Governor picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip. His elegant posture and appearance were praised by everyone.

"Okay, I understand, let's go." The Governor said slowly.

"yes!"

The governor put down the cup in his hand, with an indescribable coldness on his face.

"They are just a group of ordinary poor people. Why are you worried?" he said.

"Even when Wu Mian was alive, he could easily suppress the people in the slums. What am I missing?"

This governor named Xue Qing has gained quite a reputation in the slums in the past five years.

After all, the past five years have been the most stable period in the slums since the founding of Highgate.

——There are no large-scale riots, no endless uprisings, and no large-scale starvation.

In the eyes of everyone, this is simply a miracle.

After all, Highgate is not the only country with slums.

Everyone knows what the slums in other countries look like, but compared with them, the slums in Highgate can be called "calm".

However, this beauty was broken a few weeks ago.

A riot broke out in the third district.

"Governor, how about you add back all the policies you canceled before." Someone next to me said cautiously.

"It's the policies of the Faceless General before."

"The Third District had always been very good before. It was only in the fifth month after the Faceless General's policies were cancelled, that there was a sudden outbreak..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xue Qing giving him a particularly calm look.

Just such a look made this man break out in cold sweat.

"Do you mean...the orders I gave are not as good as Wu Mian?" Xue Qing said slowly.

"No, no

." The cold sweat on his hands became more and more intense, and he began to hate his bad mouth.

How can Faceless's methods compare to those of the Governor?

"Ha." After a long silence, Xue Qing laughed with unknown meaning.

"Go ahead." He waved his hand.

"yes!"

The men walked out of the governor's room with their lives intact, and then let out a long sigh.

After her men left, Xue Qing stood alone in front of the window and watched.

Nothing could be seen from his expression, it was still like a piece of solid ice.

However……

"That guy without a face has been dead for so long."

"Why is it that even now, the ghost still lingers?"

Xue Qing said slowly.

Ten years.

It has been ten years since he last served as a faceless lieutenant.

In the past ten years, Xue Qing has been working hard to climb up the ranks, just to get rid of the title of "Faceless's former lieutenant".

In that battle ten years ago, Xue Qing had been fighting as Faceless's deputy.

——However, ten years ago, everyone only knew Wu Mian, but no one knew Xue Qing.

After all, Faceless ten years ago could be said to cover the sky with one hand, and everyone except him could only live in his shadow.

That kind of terrifying dominance made everyone at the same time breathless.

No matter how talented the character is, they are all suppressed by the faceless.

…

But five years ago, everyone was shouting and beating Wu Mian. Even Wu Mian had to give up his position as the first general and went to the more distant city of St. Liwen.

But at that time, Xue Qing was already known as the "cold governor".

Countless people admire and look up to him.

Xue Qing could now look down at Wu Mian with a superior look.

In fact, if you think about it seriously, Xue Qing has not always hated Wu Mian so much.

There was a time when he also admired Faceless.

At that time, Wu Mian was powerful and full of charisma. He stood up when Highgate was at its most precarious and saved the country's precarious fate.

Xue Qing was once under the protection of Wu Mian. At that time, he was very excited about Wu Mian's appearance and even thought it was a gift given to them by God.

However, things slowly changed.

Rather than admiring others, Xue Qing prefers to watch others admire him.

But ten years ago, everyone would only focus on Wu Mian and not see him behind Wu Mian.

Xue Qing was almost tired of hearing those words.

"In the Kingdom of Highgate, only Faceless can support it."

"That's right. Look at the politicians and dignitaries in their country. They want to divide everything up. Without Wu Mian, it's not certain whether Highgate Country would be able to survive to this day."

"It's a pity that there are still many people under Faceless Hand who are holding him back."

"A bunch of trash, really ridiculous."

These words made the generals who had already restored peace in Highgate feel a little uncomfortable.

Faceless was indeed the general who made the greatest contribution during the war.

But what about everyone else?

In particular, some powerful people were even more indignant about this, and seemed to have completely forgotten how some of them did some reselling things when the war began.

Compared with others, Xue Qing's biggest advantage is that he knows how to speak and is good at speaking.

He was born with a good appearance. Just because of his appearance, even if he simply stood there and did nothing, he was like a flower on the high mountain, so others were willing to listen to him.

Xue Qing also fought back Wu Mianwei ten years ago.

Ole Empire was overjoyed.

Because he knew that as Faceless Hand's adjutant, Xue Qing might be able to get one of the most generous rewards after the entire war.

However……
