Captain Guan said, "Rulu, you don't need to pay attention to A-Bing. Let's continue discussing business."
Rulu gave a grunt of acknowledgment and turned his gaze to Captain Guan, "Captain Guan, what is the current situation with the Rebels? Has the Sanctuary taken any action against you recently?"
Captain Guan said, "Not at all. The Sanctuary has been quite well-behaved recently, and we haven't suffered any attacks from them. Moreover, during this time, we have received various forms of sponsorship from the Dragon Group, acquired a lot of new equipment, and recruited quite a few new members. Our strength has grown several times greater than before."
Rulu said in slight surprise, "Is that so? It seems that what General Li said before was true; he really has made up his mind to recapture Blue Sea City."
Captain Guan said, "Not just Blue Sea City, General Li's goal is the entire Huaxia Nation. Although this goal still seems very distant right now... By the way, now that you are back, Rulu, it is also time for me to return the position of Leader to you. From now on, we will be led by you, Rulu."
"Regarding this matter..." Rulu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Because I will not be staying among the Rebels for most of the time in the future, it will be fine for you, Captain Guan, to continue handling the affairs on the Rebels' side."
Captain Guan said in astonishment, "How can that be? Didn't we agree on this before? How am I supposed to explain this to General Li?"
Rulu said, "It doesn't matter. In name, I will still be the Leader. Moreover, I am not completely washing my hands of the Rebels' affairs. You just need to report some important matters to me, Captain Guan, and you can make the decisions for everything else yourself."
Captain Guan said hesitantly, "That is acceptable... but there's no need for you to break away from us and act alone, Rulu. It will be very inconvenient to get in touch, and there will be no guarantee for your safety."
Rulu said, "Don't worry, I am fully capable of protecting myself. Plus, compared to the matters on your side, I have even more important things to do."
"More important things? What things?"
Rulu said, "Captain Guan, you should know that I obtained some things from the Sanctuary, and these things can bring me very powerful knowledge and power. However, to fully acquire this knowledge and power, I must spend a large amount of time and energy interpreting these things. I have no extra time and energy to handle other matters."
Captain Guan came to a sudden realization and said, "So that's how it is. If you acquire this knowledge and power, Rulu, it will be of great help to our future battles against the Sanctuary. That is correct, right?"
"Yes. So you should understand my thoughts now, Captain Guan?"
Captain Guan said, "I understand generally. Then I will continue to handle the affairs on the Rebels' side, and you can focus on doing that more important thing, Rulu. However, there is an important matter right now that needs you to decide, Rulu."
"What matter?"
Captain Guan said, "Before, we were just a small, nameless organization resisting the Sanctuary. Now, our organization has merged with many other organizations, and our personnel and scale are many times larger than before. We will continue to develop and grow in the future. Such a large organization should have a name. As our Leader, Rulu, you should also have an appropriate title."
Rulu rubbed his chin, pondered, and said, "Now that you put it that way, I really do need to think of a better name for myself... Then let's do this: our organization will be called the Enemy of the Sanctuary from now on, and I will be called the Sanctuary Destroyer."
Hearing Rulu's words, A-Bing, Kallen, and the others in the room were first taken aback, and then they spontaneously burst into loud laughter. Captain Guan was relatively better at controlling his emotions; the corners of his mouth merely twitched, and he did not laugh out loud. Seeing everyone laughing, Rulu immediately became somewhat displeased and said, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with what I just said?"
While patting his stomach, A-Bing laughed and said, "I say, Leader, although your abilities in other aspects are very strong, your naming skills are just too terrible. If others hear this name, they will definitely laugh at us."
Kallen said, "To be honest, I also feel that this name isn't very good. How about you think of another name, Rulu?"
"Alright then, I'll think of another name..." Seeing that everyone was not very satisfied with the name he had just come up with, Rulu thought for a while again, and then said, "Then our organization will be called the Anti-Sanctuary Alliance, and I will be called the King of Rebellion."
As soon as Rulu finished speaking, A-Bing and Kallen burst into laughter again. Feeling very embarrassed, Rulu kept a straight face and said in a heavy voice, "What is so funny? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can just say it directly."
Doing her best to hold back her laughter, Kallen said, "I'm sorry, Rulu. I didn't mean to mock you, I just really couldn't help it."
A-Bing covered his mouth with his hand and stopped laughing. After all, Rulu was their Leader. If he continued to laugh, he would be asking for trouble.
At this time, Captain Guan came out to smooth things over, "It was my oversight just now. It is indeed very difficult for you, Rulu, to think of a name that satisfies everyone in such a short period of time. How about this: let us handle this naming matter. We will think of a few suitable names, and when the time comes, Rulu, you can just pick the one you like from them."
Rulu pretended not to care at all and said, "Sure. Things like names are just code names; it doesn't matter whether we have them or not. I can't be bothered to rack my brains over such things anyway."
Captain Guan said, "Then it's settled. Apart from the things we just discussed, I have many other matters to consult with you about, Rulu. You shouldn't be in a rush to leave right now, right?"
Rulu thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything else to do for the time being. I'll just stay here for this period."
For the following period, Rulu stayed among the Rebels. Every day, he discussed various affairs within the organization with Captain Guan and other high-ranking personnel of the Rebels. Using the internet, Rulu contacted Nana, Shari, and the others on the island, telling them that he wouldn't be going back for the time being and asking them to take good care of themselves for these few days.
Just as he said before, Rulu handed over most of the affairs within the Rebels to Captain Guan and the others to handle. He only acquired a slight understanding of these matters and didn't interfere much.
However, Rulu wasn't doing absolutely nothing. He planned to establish an elite unit within the Rebels and have Kallen take full command of this unit.
At the same time, Rulu also specially announced that Kallen was his direct subordinate; she didn't have to obey anyone else's orders and had the authority to punish anyone who caused harm to the organization. If anyone in the organization used their power for personal gain, or embezzled and colluded with the enemy, regardless of who it was, Kallen had the right to hand down the most severe punishment to them.
Regarding Rulu granting Kallen such immense authority, the other members of the Rebels didn't have any major objections, because Kallen's abilities were indeed worthy of this status. Moreover, as the Leader of the Rebels, Rulu also had the power to confer such a high position upon her.
It was just that Rulu's special treatment of Kallen aroused suspicion among many people. Many speculated that there was an extraordinary relationship between Rulu and Kallen, and that it was highly likely Kallen had already become Rulu's secret lover. Regarding these rumors and gossips, Rulu didn't bother to explain or clarify, and Kallen also feigned ignorance. This couldn't help but make everyone even more firmly believe that their guesses were correct.
