Although Bud holds military power, he doesn't get involved in politics at all... no wonder Esdeath calls him an old fogey.
However, she herself wasn't much better off.
He had no interest in money or status, only a deep obsession with ravaging his enemies...
This made Lu Ye a little curious.
Did Esdeath become like this because of psychological trauma?
Or perhaps, she was born a psychopath?
"Captain, may I ask you something? You mentioned earlier that you share a common interest with the minister. What's that all about?"
"Still have concerns? I fight for the Minister on the battlefield, maintaining the rule of the capital, and I derive pleasure from it... In other words, as long as this country remains under the Minister's control, the war will never end." Esdeath smiled slightly at the end. "It's just a bombing. It's nothing to either me or the Minister. For us, the enemy is that Night Raid assassin organization. Only Bud would take the bombing itself so seriously."
Esdeath spoke with a serious expression.
Lu Ye was somewhat speechless.
This woman really doesn't hide her true nature at all.
"I understand... Let's go back then, the others are still waiting for us."
After saying that, Lu Ye turned around and prepared to go back to her room.
But then his arm was grabbed.
"team leader?"
Lu Ye was a little confused about what was going on.
Can you just say what you have to say?
Just as he was wondering what this woman was up to,
Esdeath suddenly tightened her wrist, bringing the two of them right up to face.
Their bellies were pressed so close together that they could almost feel each other's heartbeats.
His icy blue eyes seemed to captivate the soul.
I could almost smell the delicate fragrance of honeysuckle.
Looking at Esdeath's beautiful face, Lu Ye's brain went into a temporary malfunction.
Of course, he wasn't swayed by her beauty... well, maybe a little bit.
But what he cared more about was why Esdeath did this.
Could it be that after I time-traveled, I would experience a second spring in my life and become the ultimate handsome guy loved by everyone?
"Don't rush off yet. Look at the corner of my mouth, isn't there a little bit of oil on it...?" Esdeath asked.
Okay, it's just an illusion.
Lu Ye took a look and there was indeed a little bit, but you really couldn't notice it if you didn't look closely.
"A little, what's wrong?"
“Wipe it off for me,” Esdeath said.
"what?"
Lu Ye blinked, thinking to himself, "It can't be that bad, you're not without hands!"
"The grease on the corner of my mouth is from when you fed me the meat skewers. Since you fed me the meat skewers, you have to take responsibility for wiping my mouth."
"team leader……?"
"I am a person who finishes what I start."
Lu Ye couldn't understand it at all.
What kind of "finishing what you started" is this?!
That can't be right.
However, Esdeath's expression didn't seem like she was joking.
Left with no other choice, Lu Ye had to comply.
But when he checked his pockets, he embarrassingly realized he hadn't brought any tissues.
"Captain, do you have any paper?"
"I do not have……"
"I don't have any either. Should I go back and get some?"
Esdeath didn't speak, but increased the pressure on her hand.
"No, I'll do as you say..."
Lu Ye thought to himself that this woman's personality was really strange.
You actually need someone to wipe your mouth for you?! How old are you?!
He thought for a moment, and finally stretched out his sleeve...
"What are you doing? Trying to defile the team uniform?"
This was something Lu Ye hadn't expected.
Ok……
You forced me to do it.
Lu Ye reached out and gently wiped away the tiny bit of oil from Esdeath's lips with his thumb.
Esdeath kept her eyes closed throughout the process.
But I have to say, the feel of it is really great.
The fingerprints on my fingers brushed against those delicate, petal-like lips, making me feel a little itchy and restless.
Especially the moment your fingers leave your lips
Lu Ye clearly saw Esdeath's lips twitch slightly, with a jelly-like texture.
It was just a fleeting moment, yet it made you want to linger a little longer.
I'm craving jelly again...
However, Lu Ye quickly cursed himself inwardly.
What are you thinking? I already have Violet, I can't betray her!
Moreover, the woman in front of me is a madwoman who loves interrogation and war.
Even if there are no physical defects,
He was a madman with no physical defects.
Putting aside her budding thoughts, Lu Ye said she was done and walked into the room without looking back.
Esdeath slowly opened her eyes after he left.
She walked silently to the tree.
After pressing his hand to his chest to check his heartbeat, he then touched his face.
After realizing something, Esdeath touched her pocket, intending to take out a mirror.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the habit of carrying a mirror with her.
So she reached out, and a crystal-clear ice cube appeared in her palm.
Her face was reflected in the cold ice.
It was a bright red face, with a captivating blush that extended all the way to her earlobes.
Esdeath gently touched her lips with her fingers, as if the caressing sensation still lingered.
She lowered her head, pulled down the brim of her hat, and covered her face.
It was clearly just a simple test.
But why—?
After thinking it over, she finally squatted down and put her hands behind her head.
"Ugh... Damn it, this feeling is so frustrating..."
Chapter 232 The First Mission from the Hunter Squad
The party is over.
After resting for a while, the hunter team, having eaten and drunk their fill, gathered in the meeting room.
The relaxed atmosphere vanished, replaced by a serious demeanor.
Because the first task is about to be assigned.
“Then, let me introduce the first mission,” Esdeath said. “This mission is related to our primary objective, which is the notorious assassin group in the capital.”
"A night raid, right?" Will said. "I've heard of this group; they're ruthless and have a penchant for committing crimes at night."
“That’s right, and our goal is to find them and then crush them!” Esdeath placed a map on the table. “We’ve received information that some civil servants have recently been misled by the rebels and are preparing to defect with intelligence from the capital. According to our informants, those civil servants will leave the capital’s suburbs and port tomorrow night. However, whether the news of their defection is true can only be confirmed later. Our mission is to intercept those civil servants and prevent them from leaving the capital.”
"What? Just intercepting them? This mission is way too easy!" Will said innocently. "There are so many soldiers in the capital. Are you worried about not being able to stop a few carriages and ships? Besides, isn't Lu Ye the captain of the capital's garrison?"
“I’m afraid your approach won’t work.” Lu Ye shook his head. “The reason the captain ordered us to carry out this mission is precisely because your approach won’t work. Do you know what it means to rashly arrest officials without any solid evidence?”
Will was taken aback, and then realized the crux of the matter.
No evidence.
This means that the usual practices are not feasible.
If it can be proven in the end that these clerks did indeed betray us, that would be good.
But what if they just want to go hunting in the countryside or have a party on a boat...?
The reputation of the capital and the army will be damaged, which will shake not only the hearts of the people, but also the loyalty of a number of officials.
A hint of admiration appeared in Esdeath's eyes.
