"I'm not joking!""When facing him, it felt like facing a monstrous flood.""Compared to Esdeath, he is ten thousand times more terrifying."Mine saw that everyone didn't believe her, but she wasn't angry.The first time she felt Bai Yu's strength, she also found it incredibly unbelievable.So she aimed "Pumpkin" at Bai Yu.Then, an instant sense of crisis almost scared her to death.If she had fired, she would have died.And Bai Yu would certainly be unharmed.Compared to the sense of crisis Esdeath gave her, it was simply not on the same level.While everyone was questioning Mine, Najenda, as the leader, fell into contemplation.As the former user of "Pumpkin," she knew better than anyone Mine's evaluation standards.This standard was certainly defined by the sense of crisis brought by "Pumpkin."If Mine was not mistaken, this man might become the trump card to defeat Esdeath.If this man could be used by them.Defeating Esdeath and Budo.Then the Revolutionary Army's victory over the Empire would be simple.Since Sheele's relationship with him was already like this, she hoped he would help Night Raid for Sheele's sake.One hour passed.They didn't wait for Bai Yu to appear; instead, they heard a thunderbolt.Tatsumi had died.And Leone was severely wounded, barely making it back to the base.She was discovered by the threads Lubbock had left behind."What exactly happened!""Weren't they handling an insignificant mission?""Those were all ordinary people, right?"Today, Leone and Tatsumi were handling a mission in a red-light district.Those disgusting capitalists used aphrodisiacs to control those poor women.They exploited their bodies to make money.The old and faded ones were directly thrown into the slums to fend for themselves, while the young and beautiful ones were used to earn money.There were no Teigu users in this mission; how could Leone have ended up like this?And how did Tatsumi die?Recalling Sheele's situation, Najenda had an ominous premonition.Could that woman have returned?There were only a few Teigu users in the entire Imperial Capital.Besides General Budo, who was hailed as the strongest in the Imperial Capital, there were only a few other Teigu users.The rest were just trash.And the woman who gave Night Raid the biggest headache was not in the Imperial Capital.This was also why Night Raid had been relatively arrogant and frequent recently.But Leone's encounter gave her a bad feeling.Had the opponent returned to the Imperial Capital ahead of schedule?But why hadn't Night Raid received any news?"Leone, did that woman return?"After bandaging Leone's body slightly and stopping the bleeding.Leone quickly recovered most of her strength thanks to the self-healing ability of her special Teigu, "Lion King."Najenda asked urgently."Yes, and no!""What do you mean?"Najenda was confused, yes and no?"It was Liver, one of Esdeath's Three Beasts!""I didn't see Esdeath!"So that was it.General Liver, one of the Three Beasts, his strength seriously wounding Leone was plausible.Although his strength was not as great as Esdeath's, it was still extremely powerful.He was a guy who could duel Bulat.Leone, still a bit weak, climbed out of bed.Akame saw this and reached out to help her.Leone showed a grateful smile, then said angrily."That guy used the women of the red-light district as cover, and drained the blood from their bodies to attack us.""Tatsumi was caught off guard, ambushed, and died with the target." Leone became very angry recalling her previous experience.That General Liver, she thought he used to be an upright general.How had he now become such a treacherous villain?He actually used hostages to ambush them.However, through this experience, Leone learned what the opponent's Teigu was.The Teigu "Black Marlin," which could control any liquid.Especially his strongest move, which could even control the liquids within the human body.In the original story, he used this ability to poison the blood, unexpectedly killing Night Raid's strongest, Bulat.He died together with Bulat."General Liver?""He actually defected to Esdeath?"Liver was Bulat's superior, a general of both loyalty and righteousness.Due to his unwillingness to bribe, he was framed and imprisoned.He never expected to become Esdeath's dog now.This made Bulat somewhat unable to accept it for a while.As for Tatsumi's death.Although it was a pity, they were Night Raid, professional assassins on the front lines.They were already accustomed to separation and death.Although Night Raid had considered taking in Tatsumi, Tatsumi was now dead.They could only abandon that idea.The most urgent task was to inquire whether there were any other Three Beasts in the Imperial Capital.Those three guys were Esdeath's most elite squad.Their return meant that Esdeath would probably return to the Empire soon.The northern barbarians wouldn't be able to hold her back for much longer."Leone, you should rest well.""It seems we need to talk to that person."Najenda left Leone's room with a grim expression.As soon as she stepped out, she met Sheele, who was limping towards her.There was a moment of silence.It was Najenda who broke the silence and asked."Sheele, are you alright?""I'm fine."
"That's good, where is he?"Sheel shook her head and said."He went back (Li's Zhao).""Then, can he, Sheel, join Night Raid?""That's highly unlikely!""He's just like a mercenary; when needed, I pay him to complete a commission.""Once it's done, he'll go back."Other than the Chat Group, Sheel didn't hide anything.Najenda seemed to understand. A transaction, and a physical one at that?There was nothing wrong with that. If the other party was truly as powerful as Mine said.He certainly had the qualifications."Alright, I understand.""You should go rest too."Najenda patted Sheel's shoulder and gave Akame a look.Akame nodded and helped Sheel go rest.Meanwhile, Najenda prepared to contact the Revolutionary Army headquarters.To confirm Esdeath's situation."..."
