Chapter 38: 38, Attack Warning



Through the accounts of those refugees and the words of Dennison Henry, Gu Hang had learned that the authorities of Revival City were already in complete disarray.

He was quite satisfied with this situation.

The turmoil created an opportunity to set the stage for his future intervention in the political landscape of Revival City.

So, even though he knew that the Alliance Council was in a state of panic, Gu Hang had no intention of backing down.

On the contrary, he was planning to fan the flames even higher.

He connected with Hodgson.

“Hodgson, why haven’t you taken the initiative to contact me during this period? Where is the explanation I demanded?”

Hodgson’s voice was filled with fatigue, “Your Excellency, we have taken a series of actions and initially achieved some results. I had planned to report to you after gathering more information. However, since you need an answer now, I can report our current findings…”

“I’m listening.”

Hodgson began his report.

Clearly, he was prepared for the possibility that Gu Hang might seek him out earlier than expected. His speech flowed smoothly, detailing the actions taken by the Alliance Government in Revival City during this time.

Gu Hang listened patiently until Hodgson finished.

Hodgson was a bit surprised; he had been ready to be interrupted at any moment during his account, but the Governor had not done so.

However, he did not feel relieved.

This might signify that the Governor harbored even greater fury in his heart.

As Hodgons’s anxiety began to mount, Gu Hang’s voice rose slowly, “Oh, is that all? What remarkable achievements indeed.”

“Several cult-affiliated suspects have been arrested, some cult materials have been uncovered… But what then? There is no clarity on the extent of the cult’s infiltration in Revival City, nor any understanding of the detestable heretics’ plans. Those cult materials, even someone like me who has been on Rage Owl Star for less than two months is already vaguely aware of; the few small fries caught haven’t disclosed any useful information, I can’t even be sure if these individuals are scapegoats put forward by someone else.”

“Don’t you think that the Alliance Government should put forth more effort for the safety and security of Revival City?”

As expected, the inevitable had still come.

Faced with the Governor’s questioning, Hodgson slowly began, “You are right, the Alliance Government does indeed need to exert more effort. Our following sweeps will intensify. However, as for results, we do have one piece of intelligence that hasn’t been confirmed.”

“Oh?”

“We have reason to believe you may be the target of a cult attack. It seems they’re aware that Wohan was dealt with by you, and they may even know that the current crackdown in Revival City, which targets them, was personally ordered by you. They might be planning a retaliatory strike against you.”

Gu Hang’s expression had turned utterly cold, “Unconfirmed intelligence mentions they want to attack me… How exactly is this intelligence unconfirmed?”

“In an intercepted communication, your camp’s location was mentioned, as well as an approximate number of armed forces you might have. Although the intelligence doesn’t specify what will be done, our analysts believe your current situation is somewhat dangerous. I strongly advise you to return to Revival City as soon as possible, where the Alliance’s military can pledge their undying allegiance in ensuring your safety.”

After Hodgson finished speaking, Gu Hang fell silent.

This was truly a formidable warning.

In an instant, Gu Hang considered many things.

He finally spoke slowly, “Speaker Hodgson, you’ve truly given me a major surprise.”

Hodgson sighed.

The tone of Gu Hang’s voice let him know that his earlier concerns were justified.

This matter, not easy to discuss, could easily be misunderstood, and he had no way to clarify.

He said, “I maintain my suggestion, Your Excellency, please return to Revival City as soon as possible, where your safety can be assured.”

“I will take care of security, as for the cult… I hope that the next time I communicate with you, you’ll have more to show for it.”

As for Hodgson’s proposal to have him return to Revival City, he couldn’t even be bothered to reply with half a word.

After hanging up the communication, Gu Hang did not look pleased.

A warning of an attack targeted at him…

This matter had too many and too deep implications behind it.

Was it true, or was it false?

Regardless of the answer, it was no longer good for Gu Hang to pressure the old speaker.

In terms of results, they had one, wasn’t the safety of the governor a big deal?

Yet, upon learning this piece of information, Gu Hang found himself in a dilemma.

How should he respond to this security threat?

Focus on his own safety, and thereafter be cautious in everything? That would obviously take up his attention, and he might not have as much energy to trouble Revival City afterward, to the extent that even the fast track of his power’s development that he had just embarked on could be affected as a result.

But he couldn’t just ignore it, what if it turned out to be true?

Yet, if he were to take action, what could he do?

The method of attack was completely unknown. Was it an assassin hidden among the refugees he had taken in? A bomb? A raid by a squad? An army?

Even if nothing happened, Gu Hang couldn’t go after Hodgson.

After all, according to that old fellow’s words, the intelligence was unverified, and he did not say that it was forced out by Gu Hang insisting on results. Even if nothing happened in the end, it would not have much to do with the Alliance Government.

Telling the lord governor to be cautious about his safety was never going to be wrong, right?

Hodgson’s warning cast a shadow over Gu Hang’s heart.

He could even consider the issue from an even darker perspective: was this a warning from Hodgson or the Alliance Council not to manipulate the governor’s authority too much, hinting that just as he had the power to sever ties and perish together, they had it as well?

Even if the information was fake, the authorities in Revival City had the means to turn it into reality.

Considering this possibility, Gu Hang’s expression grew even grimmer.

However, the bad news today kept on coming one after another.

Only a short while after ending the call with Hodgson, his aide Zhang Chao rushed in, looking somewhat panicked.

“Lord Governor, we’ve received a distress signal from Captain Yan Fangxu! They’re trapped in the monster forest, under siege by a large number of beasts!”

Gu Hang did not respond immediately.

After a while, Zhang Chao swallowed hard, finding it difficult to speak again, “Governor?”

It wasn’t until then that Gu Hang let out a long sigh.

“I’m aware. Gather our troops, prepare to rescue Yan Fangxu.”

“Yes!”

Watching Zhang Chao rushing off again, Gu Hang sighed once more.

“This warning, it’s been realized quite timely.”
