[Observer]: Where are you now?

[March 7th]: Gu Chuan! You're finally done! We're now with everyone from NghtRad in a very secluded mansion on the outskirts of the capital!

[Observer]: What's going on?

[March 7th]: Sigh, don't even mention it. Although that wicked minister has been dealt with, everyone in NghtRad is still the Empire's number one wanted criminal. And the capital is in complete chaos! It's said that many unscrupulous nobles are trying to take advantage of the situation to threaten the young emperor's safety. Fortunately, General Bud intervened and barely managed to quell the situation.

[Observer]: I understand. Send me the address.

Soon, Gu Chuan arrived at the secluded mansion.

However, when he pushed open the door, what he saw was a scene that surprised him somewhat.

March 7th, Tu Shan Honghong, Nami, and others were curiously surrounding a petite girl with black hair and black eyes who was bound tightly with green, spiderweb-like threads.

At the very front of them stood Akame, her face contorted in pain. Her usually calm, red eyes were now filled with the deepest, most indescribable sorrow and guilt.

"Boss Gu Chuan! You're here!" March 7th was the first to spot him.

"What's going on here?" Gu Chuan pointed to the girl who was tied to the ground.

"Sigh, it's a long story," March 7th sighed. "We found her while on patrol. As soon as she saw us, she attacked without saying a word. And she kept saying she was some kind of beastman. But look at her, she looks exactly like us! Not a bit like Sister Honghong's cute fox ears!"

"...Orcs?"

Gu Chuan looked at the stubborn girl who, despite being bound hand and foot, still had a pair of black eyes filled with vigilance and killing intent, and instantly recognized her identity.

—Black Eyes.

That girl, in her childhood, was sold into the Empire's assassination agency along with Akame. However, because she couldn't pass the cruel selection process, she was forced to separate from her sister. Ultimately, under the influence of drugs and mental torture, she became a tragic girl who embarked on a path completely opposite to and hostile to her sister.

He finally understood why Akame's face showed such a painful expression.

This is a reunion that has been delayed for several years, a cruel and fateful one for the two sisters.

It seemed that they had sensed this suffocating, sorrowful atmosphere.

Najendan, who was standing to the side, gave the others a wink.

"Let's go out first."

She considerately led the others out of the room.

This space, filled with sorrow and fate, was left to these two sisters, who should have been each other's closest family, but were instead, through the cruel twist of fate, turned into swords against each other—a truly tragic situation.

175 The Shackles of Fate

The room fell into a deathly silence.

The air was filled with a heartbreaking, sorrowful, and heavy atmosphere.

Everyone silently retreated outside, leaving this space, filled with fate and contradictions, to those two tragic sisters who should have been the closest in the world, yet had become each other's greatest enemies.

Nami looked at Akame's thin back, trembling slightly from extreme pain and guilt. A deep, empathetic sympathy flashed uncontrollably in her beautiful eyes, which were always full of confidence and vitality.

She thought of herself and her stepsister, "Nojiko," who was also bound by fate and had no blood relation to her. They, too, had experienced great estrangement and conflict because of their different stances and choices.

Meanwhile, Tu Shan Honghong, whose pretty face was always as cold and aloof as frost, also revealed a rare, subtle, complex, and touching emotion that was hard to detect.

She thought of herself and her silly younger sister, Tu Shan Rongrong, who always loved to cause trouble and get into problems, yet whom she worried about constantly.

Sometimes, the bonds of family can be more hurtful than the sharpest blade.

Only Gu Chuan remained calm.

His golden eyes, seemingly able to see through everything, pierced through the stubborn, murderous exterior of her dark pupils, staring directly at her fragile body, already riddled with holes from drugs and pain.

Within his "vision," the body of the black-eyed being was no longer a normal, human-like scene.

Countless black, ominous, and persistent drug energies were tightly binding her every blood vessel, every nerve, and even every cell.

While granting her extraordinary strength, they were also, in an irreversible and cruel way, frantically draining her already dwindling young life.

Her body was like a wooden house that looked quite magnificent on the outside, but was inside a rotten wooden house that had been eaten away by termites.

It could collapse completely at any time.

Moreover, those drugs had created an extremely strong, almost "mentally imprinted" dependence in her body. Once the supply of drugs was cut off, she would immediately fall into a withdrawal reaction that was ten thousand times more painful than death.

"...Truly, a pathetic, failed experiment."

Gu Chuan sighed silently in his heart.

Then, in a calm tone, as if stating a simple fact, he casually uttered a sentence.

"Actually, there is still hope for her."

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

These words, like a thunderbolt of hope piercing through endless darkness, struck the heart of the black-haired, red-eyed girl who was immersed in boundless pain and self-reproach!

"--What did you say?!"

Akame suddenly turned around! Her red eyes, which had become dull and lifeless with despair, were now rekindled with an unprecedented, blazing, and almost mad flame called "hope" that threatened to consume her completely!

She didn't even have time to consider whether the man's words were true or false.

She was simply following her own unique, instinctive desire, which came from the depths of her soul!

Puff-!

Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone, who were still in shock and hadn't yet reacted—

This proud, empire's strongest assassin, who never bowed to anyone, knelt down without hesitation before the man who had given her her last glimmer of hope, and deeply lowered her proud head!

"Please!"

Her voice carried the deepest, indescribable tremor and humility.

"Please, save her! Save my sister!"

"If only you could save her..."

"—No matter what I'm asked to do, I'm willing!"

Even if it's my life, my soul, my...everything!

Black Eyes, who was tied to the ground, was completely stunned.

She stared in disbelief at her sister, the one she had once loved and hated most, kneeling and begging for forgiveness from a complete stranger for her sake.

A complex emotion, indescribable in words, a mixture of shock, bewilderment, and... a trace of deep self-reproach and emotion that even she herself was unwilling to admit, welled up in her heart.

"……elder sister……"

Gu Chuan, however, looked at the respectable young girl in front of him who was willing to abandon all dignity for her younger sister, and a mischievous, playful smile appeared on his face.

He slowly walked up to Akame, reached out, and with a teasing gesture, gently lifted her dark chin, which appeared exceptionally soft as she lowered her head.

"--Oh?"

"What, you're willing to do anything?"

He deliberately drew out his words, his golden eyes gleaming with a devilish, seductive light.

"Then, if I, save her..."

"—You, then, are mine, aren't you?"

As he spoke, he ignored the cute girl whose face instantly turned bright red because of his "bad" joke.

He turned around, walked up to the black-eyed man, knelt down, and extended his right hand, the right hand of God, which represented "domination" and "creation".

"—Vector manipulation stripping."

An invisible yet absolute and irresistible force of domination instantly enveloped Black Eyes' entire body!

"Aa ...

A scream, a hundred times more shrill and ten thousand times more painful than Esdeath's before, a scream that was inhuman, erupted from Kurohime's mouth!

She felt as if her body had been thrown into a wildly spinning meat grinder made up of billions of invisible, sharp scalpels!

Those dark drug energies, which had long been integrated with her flesh and soul, were being forcibly stripped and extracted from her body inch by inch by an even more domineering and unreasonable force!

The excruciating pain, so deep it seemed to tear her very soul apart, made her wish she could die immediately!

"—Black Eyes!"

Akame looked at her sister's pale face, distorted by extreme pain, and her heart felt as if it had been ripped apart.

Without hesitation, she rushed over and tightly grasped her sister's small, cold hand, which was convulsing uncontrollably from the intense pain.

"Hold on! Kuroko! Just a little longer! Soon... soon, it'll be over!"

With tears in her eyes, she gently comforted and encouraged her sister in her own trembling voice.

And Black Eyes's shrill scream, loud enough to tear the night sky apart, finally alerted the NghtRad members outside who were anxiously waiting!

"—It's Kurohime's voice!"

"—Oh no! Something's happened!"

boom--!

With a loud, anxious, and furious banging as the door was broken open, Najenda, the first to burst in, led a group of NghtRad members wielding various Imperial Arms and exuding murderous intent!

176 The Price of Redemption

boom--!

With a loud, anxious, and angry banging as the door was broken open, Najenda, the first to burst in, led a group of NghtRad members wielding various Imperial Arms and exuding murderous intent!

However, what they saw before them left them all completely stunned.

The room did not contain the bloody, torturous, and torture-filled scene they had imagined.

Gu Chuan, whom they regarded as an unfathomable and dangerous man, simply squatted calmly in front of Hei Tong.

He even made a lighthearted joke, full of wicked humor, to that poor girl who was in extreme pain.

"It'll only hurt for a moment, it'll pass quickly. So, don't get excited, and don't bite your tongue."

As he spoke, he gently placed the right hand of God, representing "domination" and "creation," on Black Eyes' flat abdomen, which was heaving violently from the intense pain.

The next second, a bizarre scene unfolded that sent chills down everyone's spine!

Strands and streams of black, viscous liquid, filled with an ominous and filthy aura, seemed to possess life, and uncontrollably seeped out from every pore of Black Eyes!

They exuded a nauseating, pungent medicinal odor, as if they were the most filthy and vicious curse in the world.

However, Gu Chuan ignored this.

He simply and casually used his other hand to brush the dirty black medicine seeping from Black Eyes' body onto the ground. The movement was so effortless, as if he were merely brushing away a tiny speck of dust from a piece of clothing.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of brilliant golden holy light, completely opposite to the black filth and filled with holiness, warmth, and the most primal aura of life, suddenly erupted from his right palm, which was pressed against the lower abdomen of the black-eyed man!

That golden light was not dazzling, but it was incredibly warm.

It was like a mother's gentlest and most loving embrace, completely enveloping Hei Tongna's cold, curled-up body, which was writhing in extreme pain.

"...So...warm..."

As her black eyes were immersed in the boundless pain that seemed to be tearing her soul apart, she suddenly felt a warmth she had never experienced before in her life.

That excruciating pain, penetrating to the bone marrow, did not disappear.

But, enveloped in that absolute warmth, the pain seemed to become less unbearable.

Her consciousness began to become blurred.

She felt as if she were in an endless, cold, dark abyss.

But suddenly, a golden, warm light descended from the sky, dispelling all the darkness and cold around her, gently pulling her back from the brink of despair, when she was about to be completely swallowed up.

This was a wondrous feeling she had never experienced before, a feeling called "healing."

The golden light came quickly and went quickly.

As the light, filled with a sacred aura, slowly dissipated, Hei Tong, from that half-awake, hazy consciousness, slowly opened his eyes.

She was still somewhat immersed in the warm feeling she had just experienced, a feeling she cherished dearly.

She doesn't want to leave.
