• Huang Ji returned to Alshaz’s Resort Planet and explained that he had listed Han Bi among three possible candidates because of his public profile and political connections.
• Alshaz rejected Han Bi as a candidate because Han Bi had vowed to impeach Sa Guala, a major member of their group whom they wanted to win over.
