The takeover of Anju Town went very smoothly. Qi Suian wasn't interested in winning hearts and minds; his was a path of pure, violent, autocratic rule.
Extraordinary power can do more than just shut up contrarians; it allows one to establish absolute dominion through personal might.
However, this required the assistance of his bio-brain. Without it, blind oppression would never allow his influence to grow.
While Anju Town was thriving, Qi Suian was busy dissecting the young man named Sun Yuan.
At first, the boy stubbornly insisted he was just a passerby standing up for justice. But after being unable to bear the torture and experimentation, he became much more cooperative.
Sun Yuan's background was indeed unusual. The Mage Family he belonged to was presided over by a Third-Grade Mage Ancestor.
The Sun Family of Pinghu City was considered the most powerful Mage Family in the entire region.
