Lu Ye was able to detect the barrier in front of him thanks to his sharp eyesight.
As the night breeze swept through the woods, a few leaves drifted down from the branches.
He clearly saw that these emerald green leaves drifted and drifted until they broke into two pieces.
It's like landing on the blade of a peerless sword; it breaks on its own upon contact.
But there were no swords here, only those barely perceptible threads.
"Is this... a barrier?" Lu Ye asked, pointing to a large tree not far away.
"Wow, you're actually pretty good." The green-haired boy emerged from behind the tree, his hands behind his head. "I wanted to see if you'd fall for it! But it seems you're quite alert; no wonder you were able to detect Arya's true colors."
"Isn't that too dangerous?" Lu Ye clicked his tongue. "I'm one of our own, after all."
“Haha, don’t worry, my Imperial Arm can be strong or weak,” Lubbock laughed, reassuring Lu Ye. “As long as I don’t control it to harden, walking on it will just feel like you’ve bumped into a soft net.”
"These threads... are your Imperial Arms?"
Lu Ye tried to touch the threads with his hands; they felt cold but were very tough.
“That’s right, this is my Imperial Arm, ‘Thousand Transformations: Cross Tail’.”
Lubbock rolled up his sleeves, revealing a ring-shaped object on his wrist.
"It is a filamentous Imperial Arm that can be opened to form a trap or a barrier to detect enemies, and it also has the ability to restrain and cut. As you can see, in addition to running a bookstore in the Imperial Capital, I am also in charge of the security work for the Night Raid Squad."
Lubbock waved his hand: "I came out for a stroll after dinner and just happened to run into you."
Lu Ye stared at Lubbock suspiciously.
This guy still has red handprints on his face.
Are you sure you went out for a stroll after dinner and didn't go to peek at Leone taking a bath?
Seemingly noticing Lu Ye's gaze,
Lubbock quickly changed the subject.
"Hey, the boss just happened to be looking for you, let's hurry back!"
"Najenda, is there something you need from me?"
“Yes,” Lubbock nodded, his expression turning serious. “Your first task is about to begin.”
……
Night raid on headquarters.
hall.
"Is that so? It's all thanks to you for joining the guard unit. You've worked hard."
Najeta was very satisfied after hearing Luye's report.
They already knew the duty rosters and patrol schedules of the Imperial Capital Garrison.
This will make the team's future operations much smoother.
"Can this guy really be trusted?"
In contrast to Najenda, the girl named Mine showed complete distrust of Lu Ye.
“Mine, at least trust Leone, okay?” Najenda closed her eyes.
Mine paused for a moment, then shut her mouth and remained silent.
Najeta hit the nail on the head.
Even if she was prejudiced against Lu Ye, Lu Ye was, after all, brought back by Leone.
“Now, let’s get back to the point,” Najenda said. “Leone, speak.”
“Here’s the situation,” Leone stepped forward. “Not long ago, I received a new commission. The targets are a man named Oja from the Imperial Capital Garrison and an oil merchant named Gamal.”
Oujia?
Gamal?
Lu Ye was taken aback.
"According to the client, Oja accepted large bribes from the oil merchant Gamal, and whenever Gamal committed a crime, Oja would find a scapegoat to cover it up. This is how the client's fiancé was framed and sentenced to death."
As Leone spoke, he took a bulging cloth bag off his waist.
"This is the payment given by the client."
Lubbock took the money bag, his eyes widening in surprise.
"Wow, there are so many!"
But Leone's expression was grave: "I can smell the stench of a sexually transmitted disease on her. I'm afraid she's been selling her body all the time."
Lubbock reluctantly put down his money bag.
Brad looked serious; he knew it would be extremely difficult to raise so much money in such a short time.
The client must have been taking clients at a rather aggressive frequency, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to reach that number.
Those present were not naive young people who had never experienced the ways of the world, and naturally understood this.
“Exactly,” Mine sighed, “is it really okay to torture your body like this?”
“The client must love her fiancé very much,” Hill said. “That’s why she chose this method…”
“Alright, there’s no point in saying more.” Najenda interrupted the discussion. “Now, only the lives of Oja and Gamal can appease the client’s resentment. Just in case, I’ll ask again, Leone, is the investigation true?”
"Yes, both of them are guilty!"
"That's good. This time, our targets are Captain Oujia of the Imperial Capital Garrison and oil merchant Gamer. If Heaven is powerless to punish evil, we will vanish into the darkness!"
Chapter 183 Imperial Arms Information
"The number of people involved in this mission should not be too large."
After confirming the attack, Najenda lit a cigarette and analyzed the intelligence while smoking.
“Killing the oil merchant Gamer is very simple,” Leone said. “I’ve scouted the place beforehand. That guy frequents the red-light district because he doesn’t even have any guards, thanks to Oja’s protection.”
“The real tough one is Oja.” Najenda exhaled a puff of smoke. “That guy is the captain of the Imperial City’s garrison. Not only is he a master swordsman, but he also usually has a group of subordinates with him. It’s very rare for him to be alone. On days when he’s not on duty, he’ll be drinking on the bustling streets near the palace.”
“I’ll go to Gamer,” Akame said.
“Yes, but to assassinate Oja, we must send someone who is not on the wanted list.”
“Then let Lu Ye go!” Lubbock suggested. “Logically, since he’s from the guard, he should be the closest to Oja, right?”
"Yes, that's what I think."
Najeta nodded.
"As a member of the Imperial Capital Garrison, Lu Ye, you are the best candidate for assassination."
But before Lu Ye could speak, Leone raised an objection.
"Wait, his identity is also very important. He can use his position to obtain a lot of intelligence for us, and even interfere with the garrison's judgment when necessary. His value is not something that Ouja can compare to."
“I think Leone is right.”
Brad, a former soldier, also agreed with this view.
“Lu Ye’s identity cannot be exposed yet; we cannot take that risk and send him.”
Najeta thought about it for a moment and realized that what the two said made sense.
Lu Ye is a newcomer, so perhaps the assassination mission is a bit too challenging for him for the time being.
“Hmm… I’ll do it then,” Leone raised her hand. “I’m one of those who’s never been on a wanted list. Maybe if I tempt him a little, that Oja will fall for it?”
Lubbock, ever the smooth talker, remarked, "What if he doesn't fall for it?"
Leone smiled and gave Lubbock a "hammer" on the head.
"The more formidable the enemy, the more eager I am to try!"
Najeta thought about it and decided it was feasible.
There are currently four people who have not been on the wanted list.
Mine, Hill, Lubbock, and Leone.
Mine goes without saying; although her Teigu is a long-range type, it is more suitable for head-on combat due to its limitations.
Although Sheele's Imperial Arms is good at both offense and defense, she is not suitable for this mission because she is dull-witted. After all, the opponent is not a corrupt official who is powerless or an ordinary villain.
Lubbock's Imperial Arms is a barrier type, and because of his identity as a bookstore owner, it is also difficult for him to get close to Oja.
In conclusion, besides Lu Ye, Leone is the most suitable person for this task.
But just as she was about to give the order...
Lu Ye stepped forward.
"No, I'll do this task."
"Are you sure you can do that?" Najeta asked.
"some."
"Hey, what if we get exposed?" Leone put her arm around Lu Ye's shoulder. "Leave this to me, your older sister."
“I won’t expose myself,” Lu Ye smiled slightly, “because I have a way to kill that Ou Jia without lifting a finger.”
Everyone present remained silent for a few seconds.
"A mere newcomer, yet they're really something else!"
Mine pouted, clearly not believing Lu Ye's statement.
Najenda raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "Could you explain the 'method' in detail?"
"Simply put, it's about using someone else to do your dirty work."
How long will it take you?
“Two days… no, about a day,” Lu Ye smiled. “And, if possible, I would also like Akame not to kill Gamer first.”
