However, before Lu Ye could notice her gaze, she quickly looked away.

"The operation plan is very simple. To be precise, what we need to do is not intercept, but protect..."

"Protect?"

“That’s right,” Esdeath said. “If it’s under the guise of protection, then we can stay right next to those officials. If these clerks really want to defect, then the Night Raid Team will definitely not stand idly by, because in their eyes, we are there to intercept and kill those clerks.”

Sorry... I already know.

Lu Ye sat silently to the side without saying a word.

“I see, that’s indeed a good operation,” Dr. Fashion stroked his chin. “We’ll feign protection. If the Night Raid assassin organization doesn’t come, we’ll have plenty of time to investigate these officials. But if they do come, we can wipe them all out… Is that what you mean?”

“Good.” Esdeath nodded. “This mission is just us. If we make a big fuss, those guys from the Night Raid won’t fall for it. We’ll split into three groups and wait for them to come to us. Understand?”

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.

"By the way, here is a detailed map of the capital, showing the underground passages and sewers, which will be very useful in the pursuit."

Esdeath pointed to the map on the table and said.

Lu Ye was quite interested in this capital city. If he could control the capital's "underground transportation," it wouldn't be a bad thing.

……

After the meeting, it was just past four in the afternoon.

After leaving the palace, Lu Ye returned to the guard unit, but he had no interest in dealing with those matters at the moment.

So he simply found the Iyeas trio, locked them in his office to handle the mountain of documents, and asked them to keep an eye on the guard post and the surrounding area, instructing them to say they were in the bathroom if anyone came looking for them.

He then went straight to Lubbock's bookstore.

After confirming that no one was following him, he pushed open the door and entered.

"Oh, you're here so early today?"

Lubbock, nestled in a recliner, was engrossed in reading a comic book.

"Someone's been found to fill in. Where's Violet?"

"He's inside playing with Leone. What's wrong?"

"Can we postpone tonight's assassination mission? I need to report to the boss."

“I’m afraid that won’t work. We’ve already received the money. The client’s sister has been drugged and controlled. He wants us to get her out as soon as possible and punish those evildoers.” Lubbock closed his book. “It’s an addictive drug that is very harmful to the nervous system. The client’s sister has been there for a while now. The longer we wait, the greater the chance that she will become mentally impaired.”

“You seem to have something very important to do, so how about we move it up?” Lubbock suggested.

"Not until tonight?"

“Killing someone is a matter of the blink of an eye. How much time would it take?” Lubbock stood up. “Let’s go, let’s conserve our energy.”

……

That night.

Lu Ye, Leone, and Violet arrived at Spring Street, a place where many men sought pleasure.

To be precise, it was on a rooftop on Chun Street.

The mission location is a luxurious building.

The area was heavily guarded.

Although Leone and the others are strong enough to break through, the problem is that it will alert the surrounding area.

In addition, since Leone and Violet are both women, they cannot directly enter such a special place.

So in the end, they chose to infiltrate.

"But what should we do?" Lu Ye put down his monocular binoculars. "It's about 150 meters away from the house there, but there are guards in every corner of the courtyard. If the three of us move together, we're likely to be discovered."

Leone smiled confidently upon hearing this, and then put her arm around Lu Ye's neck.

"Don't worry, if I had no other choice, I wouldn't have brought you to the rooftop."

Lu Ye looked at the rubble at his feet.

He thought to himself, "You brought Violet and me here, wasn't it to use the telescope to scout out the building?"

Violet didn't say anything because she had a lollipop in her mouth.

This was given to her by Akame, who said it was for replenishing her energy at any time.

In addition to lollipops, Violet now also has chocolates and several packaged jerky in her pocket.

Leone then revealed her Imperial Arms.

—The Lion King, the King of Beasts.

After use, it can transform the user's body into a beast, resulting in a dramatic increase in physical abilities.

A sense of unease began to rise in Lu Ye's heart.

But before he could do anything, Leone picked him and Violet up in one go, and seemed quite relaxed about it.

"Hehe, let's go!"

After saying that, her body flew out like an arrow released from a bow, suddenly weaving between the houses.

Chapter 233 I am a Hunter

Lu Ye then understood what she meant by "doing something".

Since the guards are all below, why not just infiltrate from the air?

With the Teigu's enhancement, Leone's movements became as agile as a leopard, and her jumping ability was greatly amplified. In just a few blinks of an eye, she reached the top of the building and swiftly took down the two snipers on the high ground.

Before the two men could even react, their eyes still intently scanning their surroundings through the scope, Leone snapped their necks.

This is a Japanese-style tower building, similar to the castle tower of Ashina Castle.

However, it is more magnificent and lacks the ancient and solemn atmosphere of the castle tower.

Looking down, you can see a floor plan of the courtyard that looks like a painting, as well as guards around it.

Further on, there are bustling and charming streets.

The ever-changing neon lights are like the hearts of men who come seeking pleasure with money, while women, half-clothed and heavily made up, stand at the doorway, holding pipes and blowing wisps of smoke into the faces of passing men...

This is Spring Street, a place of enchantment.

It could even be said to be the most bustling place in the capital at night.

At the same time, it breeds more evil.

Leone and his group infiltrated the building from above, quietly hiding on the roof trusses.

“We’ve arrived,” Leone said.

"Honestly, this infiltration was a bit too aggressive," Lu Ye muttered under his breath.

Leone's approach reminded him of the quick strategies in some stealth games, which emphasize speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

"Hehe, how does it feel to be hugged by your big sister?" Leone chuckled.

Recalling the touch and fragrance on her face just now, Lu Ye thought to herself that it was indeed very nice.

It would be even better if there were "" every day!

Violet didn't speak, but quietly clenched her fingers.

She felt that the soft flesh would be very relaxing to rub.

Although she had one herself, it was clear that it wasn't as big as Leone's.

Leone gently opened a tile at the top and quietly observed the situation inside the room.

Lu Ye also came over to take a look.

But when he smelled the air in the room, he quickly covered his nose.

The room on the top floor was bright and spacious.

There were many women inside, some sitting and some lying down, all wearing elaborate makeup.

Their kimono-like garments were half-open, but they seemed oblivious to it, simply sitting there in the room, occasionally puffing on their pipes and greedily inhaling a pale purple vapor, languid and enjoying themselves.

In the center of the room stood a tall incense burner, from which the pale purple vapor flowed.

Violet followed Lu Ye's example and covered her mouth and nose with her hand.

“Don’t worry, that stuff isn’t poisonous; it’s just a tranquilizer.” Leone stared at the situation below. “They’re all under the influence of drugs and their minds are clouded.”

Suddenly, the door to the room opened.

A one-eyed man in a white suit and several guards entered.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Your break time is almost over!"

He walked among the women, grinning maliciously as he wantonly trampled on them.

Instead of being angry, the women smiled and fawned over her.

"Make me more money, and I'll get you more medicine!"

"Yes~"

The women laughed hysterically.

Lu Ye certainly knew what making money meant in a place like this.

However, they simply lure women in, then use drugs to control them, treating people merely as tools for making money...

Lu Ye, who grew up under the red flag, could not tolerate this behavior.

Even Violet couldn't help but clench her fists.

Even she can now distinguish what "evil" is.

At that moment, one of the one-eyed men kicked a woman on the ground.

"Boss, look, this woman seems to be dying."

"Medicine...give me medicine..."
