Lu Ye immediately got goosebumps.

Is this Nantong?

Although Brad seems to have that tendency as well, this guy is obviously much more flamboyant!

It's one thing for you to speak in a soft, high-pitched voice and act like a hermaphrodite.

What is the meaning of the orchid finger gesture?

"Um... this organization is newly established, so everyone here is a newcomer, right?"

The speaker was a man wearing a blue cotton coat.

She doesn't look very old, maybe in her early twenties.

He was fairly handsome, but he looked very rustic, and his clothes were covered in patches.

Moreover, there was a large cloth bag at his feet, with a hole in it, and the head of a salted fish was sticking out, its white eyes rolling back.

"That's not how it works. Those who come later will naturally have lower seniority."

The bespectacled man waved his hand coquettishly, a gesture that for some reason reminded Lu Ye of the kind of noblewoman in movies.

——Yue.

Lu Ye glanced at it.

The remaining two were also somewhat strange.

One of the men was very muscular and shirtless, with a bulging physique that gave the impression of an exhibitionist.

He didn't show his true face; he wore something like a gas mask on his head, and his muscular chest had several hideous scars.

Yet this burly man was sitting with his legs together and his hands neatly placed on his knees, like a child being disciplined by his teacher for proper posture in kindergarten—quite obedient, of course, assuming one ignored his physical characteristics.

"Alright, it looks like these are the last two."

The last person was a refined-looking blond man with two pure white feathers tucked behind his ears and a very gentle smile.

"Now that everyone is here, let me introduce myself. My name is Lan."

"I... my name is Polus, nice to meet you." The masked muscular man stood up and bowed deeply, very politely.

With the example set by others, the man in blue, who had been somewhat flustered when he heard he had to introduce himself, stood up and bowed deeply as well.

"Hello everyone! My name is Will, and I'm from the Imperial Capital Navy. Nice to meet you!"

The bespectacled man was currently combing his hair in front of a small mirror, looking quite self-satisfied.

"Dr. Fashion, you have to pay close attention to first impressions. True fashion is about a man's character..."

No, that's just the self-cultivation of a rich lady, isn't it? Lu Ye really wanted to retort.

"Black Eyes." The girl's self-introduction was extremely brief, while she was still chewing on snacks.

When it was finally Lu Ye's turn, he only gave a brief speech.

"My name is Lu Ye, and I come from a village in the countryside."

Name and background.

There was nothing else fabricated.

He knew perfectly well that he was now a mole.

The less information is revealed, the harder it is to catch someone red-handed.

Chapter 227 The Strange Woman Who Attacked

Including Lu Ye, the Hunters have a total of six members.

"Well, now that everyone's here..."

"Aren't there still people who haven't arrived?"

It was Will who spoke.

Although the team members have all gathered, the key person has not yet arrived.

That is the leader of this organization—Esdeath.

Lu Ye abhorred this behavior.

This reminded him of his high school homeroom teacher, who would tell students to stay for a class meeting every Friday afternoon and not to be late. But he was always the last one to arrive, which made Lu Ye's stomach growl with hunger. A senior student passing by the window heard this and ended up bringing him dinner for a month. Lu Ye was too embarrassed to eat for free, so he used all his pocket money to pay for it.

“Um… I’ve prepared some tea and snacks. Please enjoy them if you don’t mind.” At this moment, Polus brought out a chestnut-colored tray from somewhere, on which was a pot of tea, a plate of small pastries, and several ceramic cups.

After distributing the teacups to everyone, he said awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, I'm a little shy. I was the first one here... but I didn't say a word before. However, I guess I'm the oldest among you all. As fellow Teigu users, let's get along well."

"Likewise, Polus, please take care of me from now on." Lan smiled gently.

But half an hour passed, and Esdeath was nowhere to be seen.

Just sitting here wasn't enough, so everyone started drinking tea and chatting.

During this process, Lu Ye also learned some things about everyone.

For example, this burly-looking man, but behaving like a girl, is actually a member of the "Burning Force".

The so-called "burning troops" are the cleaners of the capital, a force that devours everything with flames.

Whether it's clearing corpses from the battlefield or eliminating dangerous targets in the capital, they will complete their missions perfectly.

Whether it's people or objects, they will be burned to ashes.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that the black stripes around Polus's pants and arms are actually restraints, but they are not used to restrict his body; rather, they are used to assist in binding the flamethrower device.

Will is a member of the Imperial Capital Navy. He was selected because he had recently adapted to the Imperial Arms. He seems to be a fairly honest young man, but he has never lived in the Imperial Capital before. His eyes light up at everything he sees, so he seems a bit rustic in the eyes of others.

However, in Lu Ye's opinion, this guy named Will is somewhat similar to the trio of Iyeas.

Then there's Dr., the fashion expert.

Fashion's role is to conduct research and provide various medical assistance to the team members.

In short, she's the healer in the team.

Anyone who is injured can receive excellent treatment from him.

According to Fashion himself, Thorn, one of the Four Demon Rakshasa, was treated by him after being injured a while ago.

Lu Ye thought this effeminate guy had some skills.

The injuries Thorn sustained recently likely refer to those inflicted when he broke into Esdeath's house. His left leg was pierced, and he severed his own arm. Such severe injuries healed in just one or two days, which seems to be largely thanks to this guy.

However, at the same time, Lu Ye also thought of that green potion.

Its healing ability, comparable to a "panacea," is truly not to be underestimated.

And that blond man—Lan.

He appeared gentle and approachable during the conversation, and his speech was always polite.

During the conversation, he didn't reveal much about himself.

The only thing we know for sure is that this blond man used to live in the countryside near the capital.

Not only that, he was also a teacher, dedicated to imparting various kinds of knowledge to the children in the village so that they could go to the capital to make a living and live a good life in the future.

As for why he gave up his identity as a teacher to come to the Imperial Capital and even became a Teigu user... that remains a mystery.

The one who spoke the least among this group was Kuroko.

While others were chatting animatedly, she quietly held her cloth bag full of snacks the whole time, eating with relish and occasionally moistening her mouth with tea.

However, Lu Ye felt that the child looked a lot like Akame.

Not only do they look somewhat alike, but their personalities are also quite similar.

Both of them are quiet, foodies, and possessive of their food.

Most importantly, it's their names.

Red eyes.

Black eyes.

Could these two be related?

As Lu Ye was pondering this, the door to the room was suddenly and violently opened.

The door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

Will, who was having a pleasant conversation with Lan, was so startled that he dropped his teacup on the table, spilling tea all over himself.

The room fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes turned towards the doorway.

Stepping inside was a woman wearing a stone mask, radiating a powerful fighting spirit.

"Who are you?" Will asked first.

At the same time, he got up and walked towards the woman at the door.

As a soldier, he was very disciplined. This was the "Hunter's" meeting room, and outsiders were not allowed to enter without permission!

However, the moment his hand reached out to the woman, she moved.

She was incredibly fast, flashing to Will's side almost in the blink of an eye, followed by a side kick.

Will was suddenly attacked and had no time to react. His body flew out and crashed heavily into the wall.

Seeing their companion being attacked, Lan and Borus also intervened.

The two attacked Esdeath from the left and right sides respectively, forming a pincer movement.

However, the uninvited guest was also quite strong. She blocked the attacks of Polus and Lan with both hands. She was agile and first knocked Lan down, then kicked Polus, who was more than two meters tall, away.

"Oh, both of them are quite fast and have good reflexes."

The woman spoke, her cold voice tinged with amusement, seemingly quite pleased with the performance of the two people before her.

The one who made the final move was Kurohime.

Although she had been snacking, the current situation no longer allowed her to stand by and watch.

While a cookie was in his mouth, the sword at his waist was already drawn.
