As if surrendering, Mine lowered her head, and her voice was not loud.

Lu Ye nodded, then walked past Mine and continued down the corridor until he reached the kitchen door, ready to open it.

And at this time.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door was pushed open from the inside.

Warm light shone through the open door crack, followed by two beautiful faces.

Violet and Akame.

The two women stared at Lu Ye, then blinked in unison, rice grains still clinging to the corners of their mouths.

Lu Ye pointed with his finger and kindly reminded him.

Akame then realized what was happening, turned around with Violet, and cleaned the food crumbs from their mouths.

"Are you here for a late-night snack too?" Akame asked first. "I only made enough for two people, but there are canned goods on the shelf."

“I didn’t know you wanted to eat this,” Violet said. “Otherwise, I would have saved a few bites for you.”

"A few bites aren't enough, you need at least a bowl, right?"

As Lu Ye spoke, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at Mine, who was still in a daze in the distance.

After letting out a sigh, Lu Ye decided to do it for him.

"I've come to see you about something else..."

After informing Akame of the current situation and plans, the glutton's eyes instantly sharpened.

"Oh, I see. Then I need to go and prepare."

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

Lu Ye stepped aside to make way for Chi Tong.

But Akame didn't walk towards the door; instead, she turned and went into the kitchen.

"What are you doing...?" Lu Ye asked, puzzled.

If you're going to prepare, you should prepare in the bedroom or armory. Do you think there's some deadly weapon hidden in the kitchen?

Violet then explained that Akame was preparing "military rations".

Because she has a big appetite, she can't move smoothly if she's not full, so she always carries a lot of portable food with her before each mission.

"Being able to eat is a blessing..." Lu Ye turned his gaze away from the crackling sounds coming from the kitchen. "Violet, I'm here to ask if you want to come along on this mission. You can go if you want, or it's okay if you don't."

Violet thought for a moment.

"Hmm... But since you came to call me, it means you want me to go, right? Are the enemies difficult to deal with?"

No, I just miss you a little.

“I see,” Violet said, squinting her eyes as if enjoying the view. “Then I’ll go.”

At that moment, her gaze passed over Lu Ye's shoulder and suddenly fell on Mine, who was standing in the corridor.

"What's wrong, Sister Mine?" she asked.

"He probably got a lecture from some loser and gave up on himself after realizing he couldn't win an argument with a loser."

“A good-for-nothing? Who’s that?” Violet asked.

"nothing."

Lu Ye's gaze followed the girl's body downwards, settling on her abdomen.

Hearing Violet's words, he knew that she had been completely focused on eating.

Otherwise, at this distance, she would be able to detect his conversation with Mine.

Violet's slightly protruding belly is the best proof of this.

Lu Ye couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Akame, look what you've done!

The two quickly left the kitchen.

Violet, concerned for Mine, went to inquire about her condition.

Mine didn't say anything, just waved her hand to indicate that she was fine and that she was okay, and that she was letting herself wait quietly for many emotions.

Violet obediently believed it to be true.

As Lu Ye passed by her, he nodded slightly in greeting.

Violet followed behind Lu Ye on the left, recounting all the fun things that had happened at headquarters while Lu Ye was away during the day.

As Lu Ye listened, he made a few sarcastic remarks to the girl, but his face was full of smiles.

Mine watched Lu Ye and Violet's departing figures and felt a little lost.

She just wanted Violet to be happy.

This has not changed until just now.

But seeing Violet's happy expression as she surrounded Lu Ye, she understood.

People need a place to belong.

Just as birds need the sky to fly freely, it might be best for Violet to stay by Lu Ye's side.

And he himself... might just be looking for his "home" in Violet.

Chapter 210 The Annihilation Operation Begins

The next day.

Lu Ye sat in his office, surrounded by various documents.

The job was simple: just stamp these inspection logs from the capital, but unfortunately, the number of them was just too large.

It seems that Oja has never paid any attention to these things and has simply bribed his superiors to get rid of them.

Lu Ye seemed to be handling these things very seriously, like an office worker, but his mind was not on them.

The side quest is to eliminate the minister's confidants, namely the Four Demon Rakshasa.

Lu Ye was not prepared to complete this task alone.

Yesterday, during the battle with Thorn at Esdeath's Home...

It wasn't really a fight; the battle between the two was stopped by Esdeath in an instant.

However, Thorn left a deep impression on Lu Ye.

He could tell that Esdeath hadn't held back.

Although the woman's attack on Thorn wouldn't kill him instantly, it would leave him with serious injuries and long-term effects.

But Thorn was not panicked in the face of all this. His body structure was very strange, like a rubber band that could be stretched or deformed at will, which was something that normal humans could not do!

Lu Ye even investigated this matter this morning.

In fact, people like Thorn are collectively referred to as "modifiers".

They originally had human bodies, but after being modified through special means and methods, they could achieve some extremely special effects.

For example, Thorn can extend and retract his body at will, which means he has an absolute advantage in close combat because his opponent cannot estimate his size. Unless they can predict the direction of Thorn's extension, it is difficult to hit him.

Thorn alone is already quite difficult to deal with, not to mention the other three of the four Rakshasa demons.

That's why Lu Ye thought of a night raid.

The four demons of Rakshasa are my current mission objectives.

Weakening the minister's power is also what the Night Raid Squad hopes for.

This is truly killing two birds with one stone, a win-win situation!

The plan is not complicated.

In short, the Night Raid Squad creates a large-scale disturbance in the capital, killing those who commit evil deeds. Then, they lure the Four Demon Rakshasa to investigate and hunt them down, ultimately annihilating them.

Although it's simple, it all depends on two conditions: Lu Ye is the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison and has just joined the ranks of "executioners".

The task of planning patrol routes for the security forces and figuring out how to get the four Rakshasa demons to pursue them all had to be left to Lu Ye.

Without either of the two conditions mentioned above, this plan would be difficult to implement.

In other words, the rest of the squad are only responsible for killing.

Lu Ye is the hook, a deadly bait to lure the minister's executioner.

But Lu Ye's first task was to figure out the abilities of the other three members of the Rakshasa Four Ghosts, so that he could have absolute confidence.

To be honest, Lu Ye dared not make a mistake in this step.

If they fail to annihilate all four Rakshasa demons, or if one of them manages to escape... then his position as captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison will be in jeopardy, and the location of the fragments will be difficult to continue investigating.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in," Lu Ye said without looking up, continuing to process the documents.

The door was gently pulled open, and the person who entered the room did not speak immediately.

Lu Ye caught a glimpse of the figure entering the room out of the corner of his eye, along with the shadow of a single ponytail swaying with each step.

“I’ve investigated everything…” Seryu’s voice was a little hoarse. “In order to convict ‘Night Raid,’ I’ve investigated the identities of those ‘people’ killed by Night Raid, as well as their backgrounds.”

"So... what was the result, Seryu-senpai?"

Lu Ye raised her head and looked at the haggard-looking girl in front of her.

Unlike her energetic appearance a few days ago, Seryu's complexion can now be described as "ugly".

Two large dark circles hung under her eyes, her skin had lost its baby-soft smoothness, and even her hair was cracked from dryness...

Seeing Seryu in this state, Lu Ye thought he would feel somewhat guilty.

But to his surprise, he discovered that he didn't have that idea.
