Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

The huge bookstore fell silent again, with only Bai Lan sitting at the counter.

He glanced at the deep night outside the window, took out six bottles of 'Boiling Blood Potion' from his pocket, and arranged them on the table.

The glass bottle gleamed faintly, and the deep red liquid inside had not yet cooled.

This is a product he copied and improved from the old version of the "enhancing potion" of the Empire. Only Bai Lan can refine it because its core is the monster blood in Bai Lan's body, and its function is to enhance physical strength.

However, the real effect of the 'Boiling Blood Potion' on him was not just to enhance his physique, but also to further purify the demon blood in his body, allowing that half-demon essence to gradually shed impurities and evolve into pure blood.

"Come in."

Just then, Bai Lan collected all the 'Boiling Blood Potion' and whispered.

Then, a woman with long blonde hair walked in and closed the bookstore door behind her.

"Long time no see, big sister Leone."

"..."

The blonde older sister tossed the Teigu of Fangs, owned by the wild hound Dortya, onto the table.

In order to defeat Dortya, who had transformed herself into an alchemical creation, Leone has deeply fused with the materials of [Beast King Transformation - Lion King]. Her long golden hair cascades down like a waterfall, she has a pair of beast ears, and even her majestic appearance has become more exaggerated.

Beast-eared girl! Want to chisel!

This is an extremely rare attribute!

Leone, who always had a smile on her face, sat in the chair and stared at Bai Lan.

"Is Anning Dao one of your men?"

"Whether it is or not is not important. If you had seen what happened today, you would understand that as long as you have the Supreme Imperial Arms, the so-called number of people is just a number."

Bai Lan laughed.

Leone wasn't stupid. Since she had already killed Dortia, she must have known that she had killed the minister's son.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thrown the Teigu of Fang at them upon meeting.

Upon hearing Bai Lan's words, Leone couldn't help but speak as well.

"A Supreme Imperial Arm! No one could have imagined that the Empire would possess such an Imperial Arm, capable of changing the entire situation!"

When she was still lurking in the capital, witnessing the Supreme Imperial Arms slowly rising from the depths of the palace, all that remained in her heart was despair.

Even the exceptionally powerful super-dangerous species that single-handedly confronted General Bud fled, realizing the danger...

If other members of the resistance were to witness the existence of the Supreme Imperial Arms, their hard-won fighting spirit might crumble overnight.

Because this kind of thing has actually happened before; the rebels had already gathered enough resources to start the uprising and had set a date for its commencement...

However, scouts at the front brought back accurate reports about Esdeath's performance on the northern battlefield, and the troops, who had been ready, changed their attitude overnight.

If you lack the strength, continue to be patient.

He was still talking to people about how to be patient, how to endure, and how to think things through, and he was quite pleased with himself for it.

Insects are insects; they only care about their own safety and whether they can succeed, and they don't consider anything else.

But soon, she remembered Bai Lan...

This guy has a rebellious streak; he even killed the son of a minister... He might have a solution to this situation.

As for Akame?

After interrogating Dortya, Leone was no longer worried. Akame was extremely naive and very suitable to be a weapon in her hands. If Shirai were a smart person, she would be able to see Akame's value.

As it turns out, Bai Lan wasn't stupid; Chi Tong was still alive and well at that time.

That's enough for Leone.

"You also want to overthrow the empire, don't you!"

Leone said in a deep voice, "First they kidnapped Akame, then they cooperated with Anningdao, then they killed the minister's son and obtained 'Shangri-La,' and finally they let Night Raid go with a random excuse!"

"You, who have done these things, can never be loyal to the Empire!"

"How dare these treacherous officials disturb my resolve? My loyalty to the empire is evident to the Emperor!"

Bai Lan said sternly, "You should leave. I am ashamed to associate with a bunch of traitors like you!"

"..."

Leone sighed. Communicating with this kind of person was truly infuriating, so she decided to cut to the chase and speak directly:

"The empire has ruled for a thousand years, and even now, its strength is still extremely powerful. Even though I haven't gone back yet, I know that in the current situation, the resistance army alone is powerless to resist."

"So, whether or not to cooperate, at least in the current situation, no one wants to see it!"

"Oh, you want to cooperate with me?"

When Bai Lan heard Leone's purpose for coming, she was somewhat surprised: "You don't even know the current situation of the resistance, yet you come to cooperate with me on your own. Leone, you trust me too much."

"...No, it's not about trust, it's about having no other choice."

Leone sighed: "To be honest, after learning what happened on Tranquil Road from the vampires, I lost all hope."

"Night Raid is an elite force selected from the entire resistance, and their strength can be described as exceptional even among Imperial Arms users."

"Yet this elite force was easily defeated by the Wild Hounds and the Four Rakshasa Demons. Although you were partly responsible, your traitor Thirteen also killed the minister's son, Shangpu, and others."

"Now we are facing Esdeath, Bud, and the Supreme Imperial Arms... I really can't think of how the resistance can win this war."

"We can't rely on night raids. If we deploy all our forces, I estimate we'll only be able to fight Bud, one of the three."

It turns out they simply thought there was no hope of turning the tide.

Bai Lan propped her cheek up and quietly watched Leone in front of her. To be honest, the other party's arrival was quite timely.

Otherwise, their meeting wouldn't have been so peaceful.

Instead, it would turn into Leone being captured by him and personally handed over to General Bud for public execution, thus luring the night raids out.

While General Bude is at war with Night Raid, he can use 'Shangri-La' to kill the young emperor and his ministers.

"So how do you want to cooperate?"

"The plan is to assassinate General Bud in a night raid, and you need to take care of the minister!"

"It's not fair."

Bai Lan sighed softly, "If General Bude knew that he alone could rival the combination of the young emperor and his ministers, he would probably be laughing in his dreams."

"Don't you rebels know that besides the young emperor's Supreme Imperial Arm, Minister Ernest also possesses an Imperial Arm called 'Jewel-Type Anti-Imperial Arm - Ireston,' which can destroy an Imperial Arm at the cost of shattering a jewel?"

"There are even Imperial Arms like this?!"

Leonai was startled; was this the same response that the First Emperor had made a thousand years ago?

If someone were to rashly go and kill the minister alone... the consequences would be self-evident...

This information about the Imperial Arms alone is extremely important to Night Raid, but Bai Lan just casually mentioned it.

From this perspective, the captain of the Thirteenth Division of the Traitors was also well-prepared, even more so than the rebels.

"After preparing for so many years, we still haven't received any information."

Bai Lan glanced at her: "With a motley crew like you, it's hard to cooperate with you."

Leone gritted her teeth; the initiative had been lost once again.

"What do you want!?"

Chapter 99 Black Eyes: Sister, let's experience the ritual together.

"I want your rebel army's divination-type Imperial Arm, plus that Imperial Arm that can heal injuries."

"impossible!"

Leone immediately refused, saying that Bai Lan was too greedy.

These two Imperial Arms are strategic resources for the current resistance forces.

Nothing can replace it.

"Completely insincere."

"Let's try some other conditions..."

"The entire Night Raid team will become my subordinates."

"no!"

"Completely insincere, unwilling to give anything, yet expecting people to give their lives? I'm not a fool like you." Bai Lan stood up and walked towards the back of the bookstore, her tone filled with undisguised contempt.

"Since there's nothing we can do, let's just wait for Esdeath and Bud to join forces and crush you completely."

"I think the ministers can still distinguish who is loyal to the empire!"

"Wait, we can compromise... one divination-type Imperial Arms, plus one member of Night Raid!"

"Can you make that decision?"

"We should be able to discuss the Imperial Arms... As for the Night Raid members..."

Leone hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "If it were up to me, I could still make the decision."

"make a deal."

Bai Lan immediately burst into laughter.

He had originally planned to cooperate, but after seeing Leone's deep fusion with the Lion King, he changed his mind at the last minute.

He was curious whether Leone was human or a Dangerous Species.

If it's the latter, then his 'Boiling Blood Potion' might be updated again, and his half-demon nature might even change as a result.

After Bai Lan sat down, she calmly said, "Let's set a time. If we continue to delay, Esdeath might soon lead her army to the capital, which is probably not something you want to see."

"...Then tomorrow night!"

-

After the transaction was completed, Bai Lan took three vials of blood from Leone.

The blood was noticeably different in color from that of ordinary people; it was more viscous than regular blood and, when shaken in the bottle, resembled slowly flowing thick oil, with a faint golden sheen.
