I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Hmm, maybe there will be." The Holy Emperor smiled and affirmed Gil's words.

At that moment, the Holy Emperor took a bottle of beverage from the refrigerator and poured a glass for Jill.

Jill didn't refuse and took a small sip.

“I have something to say,” Jill said, swirling her glass. “My subordinates have gathered some interesting information.”

“That bastard Qi Wu Xuanzong seems to be colluding with foreign forces.” Jill took a sip of her juice. “Qi Wu is colluding with foreign countries, it seems to be the United States.”

"..." The Holy Emperor remained silent.

Jill continued, "The US provides funding and weapons to that bastard, and then that bastard provides money to foreign countries."

"...Information found by Homra's intelligence network?"

“I suppose so.” Jill squinted. “But there’s something… um?!” Jill’s eyes lit up.

The omniscient and omnipotent star was always kept in an activated state by him.

Xia Shi woke up for some reason and looked around warily.

"What's wrong?" the Holy Emperor asked, seeing Gil's state.

“…There’s something bad going on…” Jill said, narrowing her eyes and controlling the all-knowing and all-powerful star.

“Brother Gil… there’s a strange sound…” Xia Shi said.

“Yes, I heard that too.” Jill nodded.

"What are you saying? What's that sound?" the Holy Emperor asked curiously.

"Get down!" Jill reacted very quickly, pressing down Xia Shi's head and the Holy Emperor's head at the same time.

A violent disaster followed.

Amidst the screech of breaking glass and the screeching of the limousine's brakes, the Emperor let out a mournful cry. The vehicle skidded and crashed into a utility pole.

Jill's pupils contracted sharply, appearing as vertical lines. "Xia Shi, get out of the car first!"

He kicked the car door open, then pulled the emperor out of the car.

Golden chains appeared, pulling the driver out of the car. Then, Jill swung the spirit sword, Cherry Blossom Blizzard, which she took out of a cloth bag, cleaving the incoming bullet in two.

"What!?" The sniper in the distance stared in shock at the scene before him, his cherry-colored longsword flashing as he sliced ​​the bullet in half—

The anti-tank sniper rounds she used were the most powerful bullets in the world besides artillery and machine guns, with astonishing kinetic energy.

He was actually cut in two by this boy who didn't look much older than him!

And at that moment, the sniper fired the third bullet—

"Clang—" At this moment, in the sniper's eyes, the cherry-colored katana suddenly burst out with a wave of blades, once again cleaving the bullet in two!

The blade's wave was short and disappeared in an instant. But such a strike was unforgettable.

That's a skill from the Spirit Blade Cherry Blossom - Rondo.

Infusing magic during an attack unleashes a forward-moving wave of blades; this is the technique Jill uses.

The sniper frowned.

She could no longer continue sniping.

……

At this moment, the Holy Emperor's guards came out and formed a human wall to protect him.

Gil silently gripped the spirit sword, Cherry Blossom Blizzard, in his hand.

It still happened...

Jill roused the All-Knowing and All-Powerful Star to make sure there would be no more sniping before turning her gaze to Xia Shi.

Xia Shi nodded and went forward to pick up the cut-open bullet.

“…It’s alright, the sniper’s gone,” Jill said.

Flames leaped, and ashes flew in the wind. The burning limousine continued to spew thick black smoke into the sky.

The rain intensified, and Jill's wet hair clung to her face.

Despite being soaked to the bone, he looked up at the distant buildings.

The estimated distance was one kilometer. Given the strong winds, the nighttime conditions, and the rain, the fact that three consecutive sniper shots were fired with perfect accuracy, hitting the target exactly as predicted, is unbelievable.

It's unbelievable... Even though he knew the child had such amazing skills, he couldn't guarantee that even with Jill's marksmanship, he could do it.

Jill's deep gaze pierced the night sky; his clairvoyance was activated. In his vision, the lovely girl with long platinum blonde hair put away her sniper rifle and quickly retreated...

“…” Gil turned around silently. “What are you all standing there for? Escort the Holy Emperor back!”

Under the overwhelming pressure of the ruler, the guards immediately nodded and escorted the Holy Emperor away.

Gil looked at the Holy Emperor and said, "We can talk about it later."

……

"Phew...that feels so much better...and thank you, Holy Emperor, for providing me with a place to bathe." Jill was wearing a different set of clothes, and her short, golden hair was still a little wet.

"No... Actually, I should thank Gil. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago from that sniper's first shot..." the Holy Emperor said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, your guards are inexperienced... They took so long to get to your side when danger struck... It's strange how you've survived until now." Jill said these words without any mercy.

"...This..." The Holy Emperor was speechless.

"...Then the question arises." Jill accepted the hot tea offered by the Holy Emperor, thanked him, and continued, "This was a protection plan personally devised by Xingliu, which I delivered. Logically, no outsiders should have seen it, so why were you targeted?"

The Holy Emperor was silent.

“Because someone leaked the plan… but that person isn’t you, Holy Emperor, because although you’re naive, you wouldn’t be so stupid as to commit suicide; it couldn’t be me and Xingliu, because there’s no backup for this protection plan, Xingliu absolutely obeys me, and I wouldn’t be so bored as to leak the plan—so it can only mean… that there’s a traitor in your guard, Holy Emperor.” Jill looked at the silent Holy Emperor and told the truth.

The Holy Emperor's face was somewhat pale, and his hands were clenched tightly.

Seeing the Holy Emperor like this, Gilles couldn't help but sigh.

“What Xia Shi can see… I don’t believe that someone older and more experienced wouldn’t see it,” Jill said, taking another sip of her hot tea. “So, do you have anything to say?”

Chapter 108 Combat Test?

The Holy Emperor clenched his fists, appearing somewhat bewildered.

Seeing the Holy Emperor's reaction, Gilles sighed.

"As expected... that old bastard cares too much about you... or rather, that's why you're at a loss in this situation, and in the meeting just now, those idiots were still passing the buck... But what about that bastard who provoked me the other day? I didn't see him." Jill brought up the matter seemingly unintentionally.

"Captain Bao Xie? I don't know either." The Holy Emperor shook his head sadly.

Ha, you'd be a fool to know, that guy's dead.

Jill thought to herself, but didn't show it. "Never mind, it's best if he's not here. I'll take over the next meeting completely. This time it'll be me and Xia Shi... wait, where's Xia Shi?"

“Brother Jill, you almost forgot about me,” Xia Shi said in a somewhat aloof tone.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Xia Shi." Gil looked at Xia Shi with a slightly apologetic expression, then turned to the Holy Emperor. "Holy Emperor, please allow me to take my leave now, otherwise those people in Homra will cause trouble again. Leave the escort mission for the next meeting to me."

After Jill finished speaking, she patted Xia Shi's head and said, "Let's go home, Xia Shi."

"it is good."

As the Holy Emperor watched Jill and Xia Shi leave, a hint of melancholy crept into his eyes.

……

three days later.

Jill was making changes to the huge pile of documents in front of her with a headache on her face.

Honestly... why do I have to work so hard...

I might really die from overwork...

A mountain of documents and a security plan he was completely unfamiliar with.

"..." So either perish in silence or erupt in silence!

“I quit!” Jill threw down her pen.

“Gil, you really are… As the king of Homra, I thought you were the hardworking type.” Rentaro said, holding a stack of documents.

“…Ahhh, you’re abusing minors!” Jill protested.

Chu Xingliu glanced at Jill, "I can totally do it for you."

“Seriously… I know, I’ll keep going.” Jill sighed, and just as he picked up his pen again, the phone rang.

"Hello? Miori-neechan? Is the thing I asked you to do all done? Oh, no problem... Okay, that's all." Jill hung up the phone.

"Which young lady from the Sima family called?" Chu Xingliu asked.

“Yes, that’s right.” Gil nodded. “Rentaro, come with me.”

"Huh?" Rentaro was a little confused.

“Go to Sima Heavy Industries… Besides my business, I also need to test it for you and for me as well.” Jill said this, handing the manuscript to Chu Xingliu. “It’s yours now, Xingliu. Thank you for your help this time.”

“Alright, my king, we all feel bad every time we see you take on such a heavy burden... so let me handle this one too.” Chu Xingliu picked up the manuscript and nodded.

“Okay, then I’ll be going now.” Jill nodded.

"Rentaro-kun, let's go!" Gilles pulled Rentaro away.

"Hey, hey!" Rentaro realized that Gil was incredibly strong and he was dragged away without being able to resist.

"Bye-bye, Rentaro-kun, boss~" Chu Xingliu waved his hand, "Sigh... well, I should still do my best at work today..."

……

"Sister Weizhi, how is the situation? What are the analysis results?" Jill tossed aside the cloth bag she was carrying and asked.

"Gil-chan, you're here! That's quite surprising."

"What is that?" Rentaro asked curiously.

Sima Weizhi pointed her fan at the monitor, and the screen began to display photos from the scene one by one.

Sima Weizhi stretched out her hand and zoomed in on one of the bullet photos.
