Jesse saw that the situation was dire, but there was still a glimmer of hope. However, before that, he had to stabilize the morale of the city guard and ensure that the angry crowd wouldn't riot. This would give him a better chance in the next step.
"Yes, General. I swear to complete the task you've assigned me. There will be no mistakes."
"Good. You can go now. I won't forget your contributions. After today, I won't let you down."
"Thank you, General. I'll take my leave." After saying this, the subordinate left with a heavy expression. He even forgot to salute.
"Damn it!" Watching his subordinate leave, Jesse couldn't help but shout.
After calming down, he immediately took off his clothes and changed into the clothes of a commoner. After disguising himself slightly, he left the city guard headquarters when no one was paying attention and headed towards his home.
When he got home, he immediately went to the backyard and came to an inconspicuous small room. After fumbling around on the wall, he opened a secret door. This was his last glimmer of hope.
He entered the secret room and saw a man who looked eight parts like Jesse sitting on the bed, motionless. His eyes were dull, like wood.
This was Jesse's last glimmer of hope, his final act of obedience to the old man.
This man, who looked eight parts like him, was found through the forces of darkness. At first, the man was normal, but after being fed some poison he had specially found, he had become like this.
Don't be fooled by his appearance. Now, he was like a blank sheet of paper. He didn't know anything. He was completely insane. He didn't even move. He was practically a complete wooden dummy.
He had found this man for a reason. He had long been prepared for a life-or-death crisis. So, he had prepared in advance.
Now was the best time to use him. He was doomed. The old man also had to give the angry civilians an explanation. If he didn't want to die, he could only offer up a similar life. Perhaps, because he was no longer of any value, he might also be killed there, but this was his last glimmer of hope.
"Don't blame me. I've fed you well for so many years. It's time for you to make a contribution."
Without hesitation, Jesse drew his sword and, without hesitation, slashed at the other man's neck. Nothing unexpected happened. He didn't even scream. After a spurt of blood, the other man's head fell onto the bed.
There was no time left. Jesse immediately found a box, processed it, and put it in his bag. Then, he left his residence through the secret passage in this room.
He was afraid that the angry crowd, seeking to vent their anger, would come here to find him. To avoid any accidents, he left through the secret passage he had prepared.
Jesse avoided all the populated areas in the city and quietly arrived outside the house where he had discussed matters with the old man.
Jesse observed the situation. He found that there were many more guards around the house, and there were more people. He even saw some familiar faces.
The people inside the house were engaged in a heated discussion. Everyone's face was filled with worry.
This matter had to start with the people's anger. When the people began to riot, the owner of this house, the old man, received the news immediately. He also reacted immediately. He immediately gathered everyone involved in this matter and came here to discuss what to do next.
These people rushed over after receiving the news. They also brought many people with them and gathered here.
"You should all know the seriousness of the situation. We must come up with a proper solution, or we will all be implicated, including this kingdom."
Everyone looked at the old man. They also knew the seriousness of the situation. If they didn't handle this properly, the kingdom might be overthrown.
"Sir, I've seen the leaflets about this matter. The content is very clear, but it doesn't reveal our core secrets. I also have a good solution."
One of the core members of the organization stepped forward, ready to share his thoughts.
"Then tell us. Let everyone hear it. Let's see if your solution is feasible."
"First, this matter specifically mentions Jesse. It doesn't mention anyone else. This means we haven't been exposed. The other party doesn't know our details.
As for Jesse, all the people believe that he is absolutely involved in this matter. He has been exposed. And we must give those angry civilians an explanation. With Jesse's position, he fits the description of a high-ranking official in the kingdom. We can completely push him out to take the blame. When he dies, this matter can be settled."
Everyone gasped after hearing his solution. This was killing the donkey after it had ground the mill. They were going to use Jesse as a scapegoat.
But everyone smiled after listening. It was indeed a good solution. It wouldn't implicate them and would solve the problem well.
"Jesse, won't he resist? He's not someone to be underestimated. And he has no ties to anyone. What if he escapes and exposes all of our secrets? This matter will completely escalate. It might even be impossible to handle. Even if we take care of the civilians who know the truth, the Marines and the World Government might not let us go."
An old man expressed his concerns. Jesse wasn't that easy to capture. If he escaped, this matter would become unmanageable.
Everyone fell silent.
Looking at the increasingly gloomy faces of everyone, the old man said, "Don't worry about that. Jesse isn't completely alone. I've investigated. Jesse has an illegitimate son who is hidden away. And I've already ordered my subordinates to control him. Threatening him with the child, I'm sure he will comply."
"Sir, having this child is great. Let's act quickly. We can't let him notice anything unusual. Otherwise, we might not even be able to capture him before he escapes."
"It's not that easy. The guards in the city are so strict now. The city gates won't open without my orders. He can't escape. He might not even try to escape. His only way out might be us. Perhaps he'll even throw himself at us."
"This matter is too big. We must act quickly. There must be no accidents. We must send people to capture him as soon as possible. Don't let the night grow longer."
"Yes."
"Yes."
...
Everyone agreed that they had to capture Jesse quickly to avoid any accidents.
