Sagukorean Emperor Xavier Zhou was attacked on Royal Tour by a Benkorean on 24 March 2026.
He was touring a village in Lian Chuan, a well-known city for producing high-quality textiles and ceramics. Part of his tour involved interacting with locals and officiating the Annual Textile Competition that was held at Lian Chuan.
When Emperor Xavier Zhou arrived at the village, he was greeted by many cheers from the crowd.
The man, later identified by local authorities as Adam Veiner, a Benkorean who holds a vacation pass and was living with his relatives in the Village of Lian Chuan.
During the attack, Adam Veiner repeatedly punched Emperor Xavier Zhou in the face, neck and chest, saying, "You're nothing!"
The Chief of Majing Force, Qian Si Ming, issued an official statement, calling Adam Veiner "insane" and "stupid".
The official statement is shown below.
"The attack, which we now refer to as Case R-023, left serious trauma and hurt to Emperor Xavier. He will be sentenced according to the section 5 of Sagukorean Law! Veiner is insane, he is not a normal man! What he did was stupid, very very stupid."
