Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Chapter 172 Red Eyes

"You're the liar from yesterday?!" Iyeas and Shayou were on high alert.

At this time of day, and with a stranger climbing in through the window, it's impossible not to be wary.

“You don’t have to treat me like this. I came here specifically to help you,” Leone said. “You didn’t think you could get away with killing that family, did you? There are so many witnesses left behind; the cleanup will be a huge problem!”

"How did you know about this?" Shayou asked in surprise.

There shouldn't be any other outsiders at Arya's mansion besides them.

"It's nothing, I just happened to see you hurriedly climbing over the wall, and then I happened to see the guards entering the mansion, so I wondered if something had happened, and then I found out..."

Lu Ye's heart sank; he hadn't expected to be discovered.

But come to think of it, there shouldn't have been anyone around at the time!

"You have connections in the security force, can you help us settle this matter?"

As he spoke, he adjusted his position, shielding Iyeas and the others behind him.

He keenly noticed Leone's change and sensed a dangerous aura emanating from her.

Although she is still a blonde, big-breasted older sister, she now undoubtedly possesses a more wild beauty.

The erect animal ears and claw-like gauntlets are the best proof...

"So, how about it? Come with me. I can help you sort this out."

Leone leaned confidently against the window, arms crossed.

"You?"

“That’s right. Want to consider it? I have connections. You pay, and I can bribe the portrait artist in the security detail.” Leone lowered his voice and smiled mysteriously. “Nothing to be surprised about. This is the capital. Money, love, status… even family ties, everything can be exchanged. It just depends on whether you have the leverage and the guts… By the way, why did you kill Arya’s family? As far as I know, that family often helped the homeless. They were a good family!”

"If you mean luring homeless people to your home and torturing them, then your definition of a 'good person' is really strange."

Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, Leone's expression softened slightly.

"It's quite a coincidence that we met yesterday and I witnessed something like that tonight... Consider it a friendly price, ten thousand, I'll help you settle it."

"I need to discuss this with my friends. Could you give us a minute?"

"no problem."

After Leone finished speaking, he consciously faced the corner of the wall.

Lu Ye turned to Iyeas and Shayou and said softly, "Do you remember what I said before?"

The two nodded vigorously.

"That's good. I need you to go to the garrison now."

"Now??"

“That’s right. As long as you verify the testimonies of those servants, you will be fine… Go now. I hope to hear news of your great success in the army in the future.”

"it is good!"

Without asking any further questions, the two picked up their packages and left the room.

Although she didn't understand why Lu Ye was in such a hurry, Sha You guessed that it must be related to the blonde woman in front of her.

She also understood that Lu Ye must have his own reasons for doing this.

Moreover... both she and Iyeas chose to believe Luye.

Noticing the movement at the door, Leone's furry animal ears twitched, but she didn't make a sound to stop it.

Only after confirming that Iyeas and Shayou had completely left the inn did Lu Ye feel a little relieved.

To be honest, he wasn't sure what this woman named Leone was up to.

If this woman was after money, then after discovering that she and her group had caused the deaths of Arya's family, she would have chosen to wait until the wanted posters and bounty notices were issued before reporting to the Imperial Capital Police, otherwise she wouldn't have received the reward.

Or perhaps she had already made such a plan and was trying to convince herself not to act rashly until the arrest warrant was issued?

Regardless of the possibility, Lu Ye did not believe that Leone had any connection with the guard.

You should know this guy is a fraud!

If such a network of connections truly existed, wouldn't collecting protection money on the streets be much easier than swindling?

Not only that...

Based on that peculiar beast-like phenomenon alone, Leone's identity cannot be as simple as a fraudster.

But just in case.

Lu Ye sent Iyeas and Shayou to the guard unit ahead of time.

After all, this woman knew what was happening inside the mansion; as the saying goes, the first to strike wins.

It's certainly better to shift the blame to a fabricated character than to be accused by the woman in front of you.

"Alright, we've finished discussing it."

"And then?" Leone turned around with a smile.

The result was... we couldn't come up with that much money.

"Oh dear, this is a real headache. Well, I'll give you a discount then. Anyway, given your current situation, staying in a hotel isn't a solution..."

"What if I say no?" Lu Ye slowly clenched his right hand behind his back.

Leone smiled slightly.

"Then we'll have to take you away by force. After all... how should I put it, the bounty for killing a nobleman is quite high!"

Having said that, Leone suddenly sprang up and charged straight at Lu Ye.

Without any hesitation.

Lu Ye seized the opportunity and unleashed the Undying Slash.

Accompanied by black and red miasma, the space was perfectly divided into crosses.

—Ashina Cross Slash.

However, this extremely powerful attack failed to achieve the expected surprise attack.

Before that, Leone's body had already grabbed the roof beams and nimbly retreated backward.

"Hehe, not bad skills, but I'll remember what you look like!"

After saying that, Leone climbed out of the window.

"Violet, let's chase after them!"

Lu Ye drew his sword and gave chase, while Violet rushed out the moment she received the order.

Leone continued to navigate through the maze-like alleyways, with Lu Ye and Violet following closely behind.

Leone has great leg strength and explosive power like a lion.

But Violet is more agile.

She kept using the narrow wall to push off, always keeping up with Leone and not being left behind by her leg strength.

Lu Ye is also on a high-speed run, and as long as he doesn't stop, there's no chance of him being left behind.

After all, he was a man who had been chased by the giant white serpent god for half a day, so it was only natural that his speed had improved.

The chase lasted only about ten minutes.

Leone suddenly stopped because there was a wall twenty meters high in front of him.

In other words, she ran into a dead end.

"Looks like your jumping ability is lacking..." Lu Ye slowly approached, knife in hand.

"Haha..." Leone scratched his head sheepishly, "Who can jump that high in one go?"

After saying that, she used the wall for leverage and charged towards Lu Ye again.

Violet anticipated her landing point and rushed in front of Lu Ye with a spinning kick.

Leone shielded Lu Ye with her left arm to take the blow, while her right hand's sharp claws reached for Lu Ye's neck.

But her attack failed because Lu Ye had seen through her movements and suddenly took a step forward.

A strong shoulder slammed into a soft body, and a delicate fragrance unique to a beautiful girl wafted into my nostrils.

Even so, it still couldn't change the fact that the tip of the Mortal Blade was pressed against Leone's back.

"Judging from what you said before, you wanted to capture me and bring me to the Imperial Capital Garrison in exchange for the bounty, but the warrant for my arrest hasn't been issued yet. Aren't you being a little too hasty?"

"Really? We can tie you up beforehand and send you over after the guards post the bounty." Leone wasn't panicked at all.

“Then you might be disappointed,” Lu Ye said, “because Iyeas and Shayou… those two guys who were with me before, have already gone to the police station to report the case.”

"What do you mean?"

Leone was a little confused.

He actually told someone to report it to the police? Is there something wrong with his brain?

Lu Ye simply repeated what he had said to Iyeas and Shayou.

"What? Is that how it is? I thought you had nowhere to retreat."

Leone's imposing aura vanished instantly, and he let out a deep sigh.

Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the corner of the alley.

"In that case, your prepared explanation is useless, Leone."

"Don't say that. I still want to give it a try. You saw it yourself, this guy is not only quite strong, but he also seems to be very clever!" Leone smiled maliciously. "And the fact that you showed up on your own initiative means you want him to join you, right, Akame?"

Lu Ye saw the person's face clearly and felt that he was somewhat familiar with him.

After a moment's thought, he immediately remembered.

Black hair, red eyes...

He was none other than a notorious wanted criminal in the capital, and one of the members of "Night Raid"!
