It seems that his chocolate-colored skin has been preserved.

"So... I have no idea where Zank's Imperial Arms is."

Lu Ye took two steps back.

He finally understood where Thorn and Horse Head's superpowers came from.

The reason why Imperial Arms are so powerful is that they use the bodies of extremely powerful Dangerous Species as materials, allowing them to unleash the full potential of these species.

The body of the thorn and the horse's head bears a striking resemblance to that of the Emperor.

They gained special abilities by consuming the flesh of various dangerous species and monsters, and through external modifications.

Lu Ye kept her eyes fixed on the horse's head to prevent her from suddenly attacking.

After all, the horse's explosive power is very strong, something Lu Ye has already witnessed.

At that moment, Lu Ye suddenly looked up at the sky.

He thought to himself that it was getting late, the time should be about right...

A loud bang suddenly came from afar.

That was a tremendous noise that could wake up most of the people in the capital.

The horse's head was also stunned by the sound.

This noise was absolutely unusual; in her memory, only an explosion could produce such a sound.

But who would dare to cause an explosion in the capital?!

At that moment, as if to confirm her guess, the sky turned a dark red, mixed with countless flying dust particles.

"What happened!?" Lu Ye looked shocked.

"It was an explosion, and a fairly large one at that."

For a moment, Ma Tou lost all desire to continue fighting.

Compared to Lu Ye, the current situation is more urgent; anyway, that kid can't run away anywhere.

The two of them rushed out of the alley at the same time.

The scene before my eyes was awe-inspiring.

The firelight illuminated half the sky, and thick smoke billowed into the heavens.

A massive explosion occurred in the western part of the capital, turning a prominent and towering building into an inferno.

Pedestrians on the street stopped and stopped, and windows on both sides of the street opened as many people stuck their heads out to watch the scene.

Just as everyone was surprised by the current situation, a huge explosion was heard in the city center of the capital.

This time, there were no raging flames. The horsemen and the citizens only saw a luxurious mansion soar into the sky, then explode in mid-air, shattering into pieces.

Even Lu Ye was dumbfounded when he saw this.

I never expected such a big commotion; even the house was uprooted!

However, this will definitely make the top officials in the capital restless.

As far as Lu Ye knew, several people on tonight's assassination list were officials affiliated with Ernest.

These officials committed numerous evils and never did anything that involved human beings; killing them would not be a pity at all.

Although their official positions were not high, they were the people responsible for Ernest's work, which was perfect for making things difficult for him.

Seeing that things were going smoothly, Lu Ye turned to look at the horse's head.

"I'm sorry, I have to take care of these things and I don't have time to bother you."

The horse remained silent, but took a step forward.

Seeing this, Lu Ye had no choice but to warn her: "Listen up, I am the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison. Do you want to obstruct me from performing my duties?"

“No, I’ll go with you.” Horse Head wiped the blood from his face. “I am one of the four Rakshasa demons. Horse Head, you are your senior. As an executioner under the minister, I have a responsibility to pass on information about emergencies to him… Take off your coat and give it to me.”

……

One hour later.

In a conference room in the palace.

"Damn it! How could this happen?!"

Minister Ernest viciously tore at chunks of flesh, blood mixed with saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Beside him was a horse's head, its face hidden and head bowed.

After following Lu Ye to the scene and understanding the situation, she immediately reported back.

In fact, Ernest, who was fast asleep, was awakened by a huge explosion before she even arrived at the palace.

This was a massive explosion. Although no civilians died, many officials perished as a result.

This would give Ernest's political enemies something to use against him.

Although Ernest held sway over the court and the country, real power remained in the hands of the young emperor.

If enough irrefutable evidence is presented, even the most powerful and influential ministers will have to avoid confronting him.

And I'm afraid that by dawn, the capital city will be gripped by a sense of unease.

This infuriated Ernest.

In his view, the residential areas in the distance of the capital were like pigsties, where the pigs would squeal and squeal incessantly if they were startled.

But he lived a life of luxury by eating the flesh and blood of "pigs".

So we have to find a way to quiet those people down and make them obey.

Not only that, there's another piece of bad news.

That is Zank's Imperial Arms, not Lu Ye's.

This was also information from Ma Tou. When she accompanied Lu Ye to the scene earlier, she had secretly checked Lu Ye's body using her superb thieving skills and found no trace of "Five Visions Omnipotent Observer".

It seems that either this kid genuinely doesn't know where Zank's Imperial Arms is.

Or perhaps he hid the Imperial Arms.

But if it's the second option, what would his reasoning be?

What happened in just one night left Ernest feeling incredibly overwhelmed.

I've always lived such a peaceful life, so why has it suddenly started to change these days?

First, the garrison captain, Oja, died without explanation.

Then came the mysterious disappearance of Zanku's Imperial Arms.

Then, tonight, a massive explosion occurred in the capital city...

It's like the harbinger of an approaching storm.

"Quiet down, Minister, you never know when you might have a heart attack."

On the other side of the table, Esdeath crossed her long legs and held a glass of juice in her hand.

She was clearly also awakened by the loud noise.

She had only been awake for a short time when she was summoned here by the ministers.

"General Esdeath, I didn't call you here for you to make fun of me, and besides, my heart is perfectly healthy!"

Even though Ernest was furious with Esdeath, he had to suppress his anger.

However, Esdeath ignored him and turned to look at the horse's head to the side.

"You just said you were with Lu Ye, so why didn't he come here to report the situation?"

Although it was unclear why Esdeath brought up Lu Ye, Ma Tou still reported: "As the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison, he should have stayed at the scene to investigate the situation immediately."

Upon hearing this, Esdeath remained silent.

Given the suddenness of the incident, she did not wear her pure white military uniform, but instead changed into civilian clothes.

She leaned back slightly in her chair, her icy blue hair cascading down like silk. She propped her snow-white face on her elbow, silently gazing out the window. Her perfectly sculpted jawline, languid expression, and beautiful, spring-like curves... any man would be moved, no, his heart would pound.

Esdeath has reached the pinnacle of physical allure.

Even Ernest, who had seen countless women, was attracted by her beauty.

He dared to manipulate the emperor and dared to kill anyone who disobeyed him.

But he dared not have any improper thoughts about Esdeath.

Because he knew how formidable this woman was.

The strongest woman, equipped with the strongest Imperial Arms, can only be described as invincible.

Although he dared not make any move against Esdeath, Ernest's ugly desires had already been aroused.

He made up his mind that he had to find a few more women to play with tonight.

"Alright, let's get down to business, General Esdeath."

Having withdrawn his lewd and obscene thoughts, Ernest looked at Esdeath.

Who do you think did this?

Upon hearing this, Esdeath turned her gaze away from the window.

“It’s that ‘Night Raid’, isn’t it? I’ve investigated their intelligence over the past two days,” Esdeath said. “I can’t find anyone else besides them.”

“You’re right, General Esdeath.” Ernest’s eyes were sinister. “Of the men who died tonight, four were my men. They weren’t particularly important, but they had been working for me all along… I never expected them to die like this!”

Then Ernest changed the subject: "But that's fine too. There are plenty of replacements out there, and this way their beautiful wives will be mine. I'll cherish them for them."

Esdeath didn't say anything, but glanced at him.

"But it still infuriates me!" Ernest's tone turned fierce again. "Those bastards' actions are tantamount to slapping me in the face. These villains must be wiped out as soon as possible!"

"So, Minister, you summoned me here to ask how the preparations are going?" Esdeath asked.

"Yes."

“I have three Teigu users under my command,” Esdeath said, “but that’s not enough. However, the plan is underway. Before the team is fully formed, you should at least gather intelligence on Night Raid, right?”
