Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

As a former soldier, he was very interested in military strategy, and upon hearing Lu Ye's plan, he couldn't help but want to find out more.

“The method is simple,” Lu Ye said. “I want everyone to mobilize before the martial arts tournament to carry out all possible tasks, the more the better, the faster the better, and preferably create some interesting commotion.”

"So you mean working overtime?" Lubbock said. "What a hassle, but... I'll do it!"

At this moment, Najenda also understood what Lu Ye meant.

"Are you trying to use us as bait to lure out the pawns around the minister in advance?"

“That’s right.” Lu Ye nodded, then explained, “The more frequently the Night Raid Squad operates, the more attention it will attract from Ernest. When we reach a certain point, and deliberately give ourselves away, he will definitely lose his patience. It’s like waving a field mouse in front of a snake’s burrow every day; eventually, the snake will come out of its hole.”

"Is your method feasible?" Brad asked seriously. "I support your initial suggestion, but we're an assassination squad. What if we make a scene..."

“It’s feasible.” Lu Ye’s gaze was firm. “You know, I’m now the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison. With one order, all the garrison members have to obey me… Everyone, come closer, I have a more specific plan…”

Chapter 209 Violet is Mine

After listening to Lu Ye's countermeasures, Najenda thought for a moment and then nodded.

"If the intelligence is correct, then this is indeed a way to weaken the minister's power."

"If this plan succeeds, does it mean... our success rate in assassinating the minister will increase significantly?" Hill asked naively.

“No… the palace is heavily guarded,” Lu Ye shattered Hill’s illusions. “Don’t even think about it. If the ministers hadn’t voluntarily left the palace, we wouldn’t have had a chance.”

"We'll begin the operation tomorrow. Everyone, make sure you're all ready," Najenda ordered. "Lubbock, go to the capital and tell Leone this news so she can prepare in advance. Mine, go and inform Akame."

“No problem!” Lubbock saluted.

The meeting quickly adjourned, and Lubbock immediately set off for the capital.

Because they were going on a mission the next day, everyone else went back to their rooms to rest early.

Besides Mine, she also needs to inform Akame about this.

At the corner of the stairs leading to the kitchen, Lu Ye called out to her.

"What?" Mine turned around.

"Mine, where is Violet?"

"He actually called her by her first name... Hmph, what does he want with her?"

Upon hearing Violet's name, Mine's eyes flickered, and she became alert like a child being asked about their report card by their parents.

Lu Ye thought to himself, "No need, no need. Violet isn't yours anyway..."

He felt that Mine's behavior was like that of the male classmate who lent him a Transformers toy when he was in elementary school.

The shameless act of refusing to return the money after it's due and then making excuses and playing dirty tricks when asked for it back is quite similar.

“Oh, what I wanted to say was, regarding this mission, Violet…”

"Wait!" Mine's eyes sharpened. "You're not planning to take her on a mission, are you? I heard about what happened before, you took Violet out to hunt down Zank, and we haven't even settled the score with you for that yet!"

Seeing Mine's angry expression, Lu Ye remained silent for a while before saying, "I don't know if you've misunderstood something, but she came out on her own that time. I didn't take her out of headquarters."

His voice was flat and without any fluctuation, as if he were stating something that had nothing to do with him.

“But you can’t expose her to the assassin Zank!” Mine said, her voice trembling slightly. “She’s just a child. Her mind isn’t mature enough. If she’s affected by Zank’s Imperial Arms, what will happen to her… You should know!”

After spending these days together, Mine grew to like Violet more and more, and she also came to understand the girl better.

Violet is too naive.

So innocent it's endearing.

She also has a kind heart.

When Mine led her through the streets and alleys of the capital, Violet would share her food with any hungry people she saw—generally, she was never without food in her hands when shopping with Mine.

Regardless of age or gender, Violet always seems to be able to tell from the other person's eyes whether they need help.

Incidentally, Mine herself disdained such behavior.

There are too many poor people in this world to save them all, and all Violet can do is give them a bite to eat.

The reason for this situation in the capital was Minister Ernest and his cronies.

If we want people to truly live in peace and prosperity, we must trace the source of evil back to the source.

However, she did not stop Violet from doing this.

Because no matter what, the girl's intention to help others was good.

She simply didn't know how to truly help these impoverished people.

Mine remembered that once, when Violet was giving a donut to a poor child, the little brat stole her purse when Violet wasn't looking. Mine chased after him, but the little brat knew the area very well and disappeared after a few turns.

Mine was furious because it was the allowance she had given Violet.

After that incident, she thought Violet would learn her lesson, but she still offered help to those in need.

Mine, who grew up being bullied, couldn't understand Violet's behavior.

So she asked Violet, "Aren't you afraid your wallet will be stolen again? If your wallet is stolen, you won't be able to buy anything delicious, right?"

Violet's eyes dimmed slightly upon hearing that she couldn't buy any delicious food.

Seeing the girl like this, Mine pressed her advantage and wanted to teach her some lessons.

"Besides, there are many poor people like this. Do you want to give everyone a donut?"

Violet quickly rallied and uttered words that Mine would never forget.

"I want to, because that way they can have enough to eat. I've been hungry before, and that feeling is awful."

"I said... Violet, do you know what we do?"

"I know, kill the bad guys."

“Do you know why these people can’t even get enough to eat? It’s because of someone. If he dies, people will be happy. Our team’s goal is to kill that person,” Mine said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Violet simply blinked.

"If I kill that person, can I eat a donut?" she asked curiously.

"Of course! We can eat our fill then!"

"Then what if we don't kill him?" Violet thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Can I eat a donut then?"

"I think so..."

Mine glanced at the donut in the girl's hand that smelled sweet and delicious, and thought to herself, "Aren't you eating one right now?"

"Since killing that person has nothing to do with eating donuts, and I have extra donuts, why can't I give them some?"

Faced with the girl's question, Mine paused for a moment.

Violet was right after all.

There is no contradiction between dealing with Ernest and providing relief to these poor families.

Mine didn't help these people, partly because she had been part of the lower class since childhood and was used to it.

Secondly, as a mixed-race individual, she suffered bullying even in the slums. Growing up in a country where everyone could trample on her, she had no intention of helping these people.

In fact, a significant reason why Mine joined Night Raid was that she wanted the reformed empire to become a nation free from racial and bloodline discrimination, so that her own experience would not be repeated in others.

Violet is like a pure mirror, reflecting her own filth.

Mine, however, was determined not to let Violet suffer.

After hearing Lu Ye's various plans, she had assumed that Lu Ye was a calm person.

But what Lu Ye did at that moment still made her furious.

Just as she had thought, Violet was simply a child.

Why let innocent children have their hands stained with blood?

No, how can such a thing be allowed?

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Lu Ye said. “Violet is very strong, even stronger than you.”

The next moment, a small hand came towards Lu Ye's cheek.

But Lu Ye grabbed Mayn's slender wrist.

"Are you... using her as a tool?" Mine did not give in, gritting her teeth as she spoke each word slowly and deliberately.

“A tool?” Lu Ye sighed. “If I consider Violet a tool, then what do you consider her to be?”

When Lu Ye suddenly asked her this question, Mine seemed to be caught off guard.

"I... of course I will let her grow up like a normal girl!"

"So, you want to be her mother?" Lu Ye said. "But unfortunately, as parents, we have to learn to respect our children's decisions. I'm here to ask Violet if she wants to come with me. If she says, 'Get out of here, I want to stay in my room and sleep,' of course I'd be happy to. But if she wants to come with me, you can't stop her."

Mine opened her mouth, as if to say something, but Luye immediately followed:

“Miss Mine, I can see that you like her very much and care about her, and you genuinely want what’s best for her. I am truly grateful for that. But I want to make it clear that Violet is mine, and I will never give her up to anyone. You are not the one who can stay with her for life; I am. After I help you overthrow the rule of the Imperial Capital, I will leave with her.”

As he spoke, Lu Ye slowly released Mine's hand.

“I know what you’re worried about. You’re worried that Violet will be tainted by the killing. To be honest, that’s what I was worried about too. But my girl isn’t so easily influenced, because we’ve already killed quite a few people before this.”

Upon hearing this, Mine was stunned.

...Having already killed someone, can one still maintain that innocent heart?

All she knew was that she couldn't do it.

No matter the reason, murder is murder, and the members of the Night Raid Squad know this all too well.

Even if they killed to overthrow the dark rule of the capital, and those they killed were all wicked people, they also knew in their hearts that it wouldn't be surprising if they themselves were killed one day.

—A murderer must be prepared to be killed himself.

Did that kind-hearted Violet, as innocent as a crystal dewdrop, truly have such awareness?

If that's the case, then Mine feels she should learn from Violet.

"Alright, let me say it again: I'm only here to inform Violet, but I'm willing to respect her wishes. What about you?"

"As long as she agrees, I have no objection."
