"So, what exactly is going on?"

Heisenberg spoke first.

He wasn't familiar with Ethan, in fact, this might be their first meeting.

But given the current situation, he could see that Ethan was an important figure at Winster and seemed to be closely connected to Sandro.

At this moment, Marvin also arrived; he seemed to have been executing Heisenberg's orders outside.

Now he entered the building in a hurry, bringing his men with him.

"Colonel, what happened?"

Marvin's expression wasn't good, but as a Level 3 True Name holder, the rain hadn't affected him much.

"How's it outside?"

Seeing Marvin's state, Heisenberg shifted his attention away from questioning Ethan.

"The situation is terrible. There's something wrong with the rain; many people are having severe reactions. I've sent Carter and the others to help gather the students. I heard gunshots here and got worried, so I came over first. I saw... Oswaldo is dead?"

Oswaldo's body was just outside; it was hard for Marvin not to see it.

"Oswaldo is Sandro."

Ethan said at this moment.

"What did you say?!"

Marvin couldn't help but gasp in a low voice.

Oswaldo is Sandro?

How is that possible?

Wasn't Sandro already dead in his castle?

Moreover, it was Ethan who killed him with his own hands.

As a former archrival, Marvin undoubtedly had strong personal feelings about the name Sandro.

Hearing that Sandro was still alive suddenly, he obviously couldn't hide his surprise.

This question was also something Joseph and Heisenberg wanted to know.

Even though they had fought a battle with Sandro, they couldn't figure it out.

"Actually, I don't know either."

Ethan looked at them, showing a faint, helpless smile.

He genuinely didn't know.

The two questions he had asked Sandro earlier had been sincere.

If Sandro could really answer them, that would have been better.

"No matter what, we must immediately control the situation in the entire city. This has already escalated to at least a B-level pollution event. We can't let it spread further."

As a professional member of the Kingdom Defense Bureau, Heisenberg quickly defined the nature of the incident.

Ethan had no objections to this.

This rain would certainly affect more than just Winster University; the entire Winster was drenched in it. Who knows how Vincent and the others were doing?

Hope that they're fine.

After a while, Ned returned with Sofia.

Fortunately, Sofia wasn't seriously harmed, just seemed unwell, but apparently hadn't been caught in the rain.

However, she seemed to be frightened, clinging tightly to Ethan's sleeve, trembling slightly.

This time, Ethan didn't shake her off but gently patted her hand, saying, "It's okay, Sofia. Your father and I are here; nothing will happen to you."

"Okay..." Whether it was the effect of the words or something else, Sofia seemed somewhat relieved.

By this time, Heisenberg and Joseph had reached a consensus; Joseph would assist Heisenberg in controlling the situation in the city.

Heisenberg also subtly hinted that if things succeeded, he could put in a good word.

"Let me coordinate the local personnel. It shouldn't be just you working hard; you don't have enough manpower."

Ned also stepped forward.

Now that Oswaldo was dead, theoretically, Ned was the highest authority in Winster.

According to the Kingdom's temporary emergency response plan, he had the right to command anyone within the official Winster system.

After the three parties reached a consensus, Heisenberg prepared to lead his people outside; they needed to collect samples of the rainwater and send them for analysis at the Prohibition Bureau.

The Prohibition Bureau had the professional personnel Heisenberg brought from the Royal Capital, along with the equipment.

At the very least, they needed to figure out what was going on with the rain to develop a corresponding countermeasure.

Ethan had some speculations; he had previously counteracted Sandro through means like Aphraela, so Sandro's powers were certainly related to the Sea God.

"It should be related to the sea..." he suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Heisenberg turned around. He glanced at Ethan, as if recalling something: "The sea... King of the Beihai?"

"It's possible; it feels very similar to before. What do you think?" Ethan asked him in return.

Heisenberg pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Indeed...

"We'll head back first; we can talk over the phone later. If it truly is the King of the Beihai, then maybe it will be easier to handle."

He had come from the Royal Capital not unprepared.

General Solomon, considering the strength of the King of the Beihai, had done some work and prepared some special things as compensation, also serving as Heisenberg's reliance, to bring along to Winster.

As Heisenberg left, only their own people remained on the scene.

Ethan glanced at Joseph and said, "I'll have my people cooperate with you, but the premise is that they're safe."

Ned had already gone over to communicate with those City Hall officials.

Most of them had not yet recovered, but luckily they hadn't been in the rain for long, and now they had their basic senses back.

Having witnessed Oswaldo suddenly turn into Sandro and battle with Joseph and the others, they had given up.

Moreover, Oswaldo was indeed dead by now.

If they didn't want to be held accountable later, they could only fully cooperate with Ned.

Ethan, taking advantage of Ned gathering support, went to talk to those who were originally planning to attend the auction.

Mainly Jackson and his entourage, big investors who came from the Royal Capital, with whom they would inevitably collaborate in the future.

Ethan assured them to remain calm and stay in the building. Once things settled, they would be sent back to the hotel.

At this time, El finally showed some principal-like demeanor, stepping forward to say, "Ladies and gentlemen, no need to worry; I will have food and water sent over shortly. If it gets too late, we have some simple resting facilities."

Everyone realized that something significant indeed had happened today. A well-organized school celebration had swiftly turned from a power struggle among the city's leadership into a malicious pollution event, leaving them with no choice but to accept their bad luck.

After settling these individuals, Ethan planned to leave.

He was still uneasy about Vincent and the others in the city, and besides, Ned needed to lead people from here to the City Hall.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to give orders.

Seeing Ethan and his group about to leave, some reporters sensed an opportunity. If they followed, not only would it be safe, but they'd also have a chance to score a significant news story. So even at great risk, they decided to tag along.

When the group re-entered the rain with whatever makeshift rain gear they could gather, no one knew that this had become far more than just an ordinary rain.
