In less than two and a half minutes, the spacious room was emptied.

Leone slowly walked towards the one-eyed man, then lifted him up like a chick.

"What do you want? Money? Women? Or medicine?"

"I want you dead."

How concise and profound!

Leone clenched his right fist, and even the bones cracked slightly.

Immediately afterwards, she threw a punch, and the one-eyed man's body was launched like a cannonball, crashing violently into the wall, leaving a bloody hole in his abdomen.

Lu Ye thought to himself, "Hmm, I suppose Wanhao's deliberate punch is nothing special..."

"Mission accomplished, let's go."

Lu Ye nodded, but just then, his gaze suddenly fell on a test tube.

It was a test tube filled with green liquid that had slipped out of the one-eyed man's pocket.

Lu Ye knew that the test tube was exactly the same as the one he had obtained from the Four Demon Rakshasa.

Chapter 235 One of the Hunters

"Mission accomplished."

In a deserted park, Leone tore off the mask he used to conceal his identity.

The three successfully reached the evacuation point.

"You're thirty seconds late..."

A sound suddenly came from the shadows of the trees nearby.

That was Lubbock. He emerged from behind the tree, the Imperial Arm still spinning on the back of his hand.

His duty wasn't to fight, but to use his Imperial Arms to create a barrier around them so that everyone could escape safely in case of an emergency. In fact, Lu Ye and the others were able to arrive here quickly thanks to Lubbock, whose barrier held back many of the guards.

“What do you mean late?” Leone said, hands on his hips. “Your watch is faulty.”

"Tch, I'll tell the boss in a bit!"

"You dare!?"

Leone grabbed Lubbock by the neck and shook him violently.

The feeling of Leone being shaken violently after being transformed into a beast is like riding a weightless roller coaster, which is irresistible.

Lubbock begged for mercy while appealing to Luye for help.

Lu Ye ignored the guy and turned his attention to Violet, asking her if she was hurt anywhere.

Violet shook her head gently to indicate that she was alright.

She looked at the magnificent building in the distance and became slightly worried.

"What will happen to the girls in the house...?"

"Don't worry, they'll be free after the leader of the organization dies. I know an old doctor in the slums who's still very skilled. With some treatment, they should recover... probably."

Leone released Lubbock.

Frankly, she wasn't sure if those women had any chance of recovery.

But looking at Violet's innocent appearance, her heart suddenly softened, and she wanted to comfort her.

Hearing this, Lubbock, who was vomiting violently while hugging a tree trunk, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

What do you mean by differential treatment?

If the eldest sister could give herself half the gentleness she showed Violet, she wouldn't be feeling this dizzy and disoriented.

While patting Lubbock's back, Lu Ye said, "Alright, if you can get rid of your bad habit of peeping at other people showering, maybe the boss's attitude towards you will improve?"

"What? Then let her continue to torment me... Ugh!"

……

At the dinner table, Najeta smiled and moved her robotic arm.

"Leone, I heard you were thirty seconds late?"

Leone, sitting next to Akame, suddenly found the big chicken leg in her hand no longer appealing.

She stood up, took a few steps back, and then hugged Violet, who was eating pudding, like a frightened little girl hugging her beloved teddy bear.

"Boss... let me explain! It's because Lu Ye went to pick something up! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been late!"

As Leone spoke, she kept glancing at Lubbock out of the corner of her eye.

No wonder that guy didn't come for a midnight snack. Now that I've found you, you're dead meat!

Violet felt the weight on her head was a bit too domineering, but it didn't affect her enjoyment of eating.

Seeing Violet's somewhat enjoyable expression, Mine, standing nearby, felt she had unlocked a new way to play and was eager to try it out.

But when she looked down, all she saw was a flat plain that resembled the East African savanna, and she was overcome with sorrow.

Lu Ye didn't know why Leone, this boss-like woman, had suddenly become so afraid.

Brad stood beside him, holding the plate, and explained.

Because Leone was too belligerent and used to get caught up in fighting enemies during every mission, sometimes causing a lot of trouble for the team, Najenda later established a rule that once a battle begins, Leone cannot linger and must complete the mission within the specified time, otherwise she will be punished with "Iron Fist".

Lu Ye then realized that Leone was terrified of Najenda's heavy mechanical arm.

“Alright, I’ll let you off this time,” Najenda forked a piece of beef and put it in her mouth. “By the way, Luye, I heard from Lubbock that you have something very important to report. What is it?”

“Oh, Esdeath formed a team called ‘Hunters’ specifically for night raids,” Lu Ye said.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Suddenly, everyone felt that the food in their mouths no longer tasted good.

Only Violet, after finishing her pudding, tried to peel the lobster.

"I see. So the other side is also a team composed of Teigu users, is that right?"

"Yes."

"It seems the task ahead is going to be tough," Najenda thought, reaching for a cigarette.

"Any new missions?" Hill asked.

“Well, I have a task for you.” Najenda said, taking out a piece of paper. “There are many civil officials in the capital who care about the country and its people, but recently they have been assassinated, and someone has framed us for the crime. These papers were found at the scene by our informant.”

Upon closer inspection, everyone noticed that the paper clearly bore the symbol for a night raid.

"If this continues, more and more civil servants will die, and we need people who truly care about the people. This mission is to protect those civil servants and keep them from being killed!"

"Wait, boss, is it true that the civil official was murdered?" Lu Ye suddenly asked. "Logically speaking, these tasks should be carried out by the executioners under the minister's command, but they are already dead. Even if new replacements are found, they should still take the time to familiarize themselves with the procedures."

"It's true."

Lu Ye was silent for a moment, then spoke:

"Can I take charge of this mission?"

Mine, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer.

"What are you saying, newcomer? Isn't it a bit too early to act like a big shot?"

She didn't have any problem with Lu Ye himself.

However, Lu Ye's experience was too limited, and this was only his first mission with the team.

How could we just hand over command to him like that?

Everyone else tacitly agreed.

“You’ve misunderstood. I won’t be fighting alongside you in the upcoming missions. On the contrary, I’ll be on the opposite side,” Lu Ye said. “Because I’m now a member of the Hunter Squad.”

The lobster in Akame's hand fell to the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"What...did you say?" Lubbock poked his head out of the window, hardly believing his ears.

"To make a long story short... well, I was chosen by Esdeath and joined the Hunters, so I'll take charge of this mission, because the so-called clerk is just bait!"

With Lu Ye's explanation, the Night Raid Squad fully understood the Hunter's plan.

"So that's how it is... Did those bastards plan to infiltrate the clerk's circle beforehand and lure us in?!"

Leone was so angry she wanted to slam her fist on the table.

If what Lu Ye said is true, then someone in the team could very well lose their life as a result.

That's incredibly cunning!

"Okay... I'll put you in charge of this mission. I trust you. Does anyone have any objections?"

After thinking for a while, Najenda made this decision.

No one raised their hand, and no one objected.

Even the fiery Mine tacitly agreed.

Indeed, if the situation is true, then putting Lu Ye in charge could indeed minimize casualties.

Chapter 236 Sisters

After dinner, Lu Ye began to make plans.

With the Hunter squad's intelligence leaked, the night raid definitely has the upper hand.

However, the purpose of this mission is not assassination, but to protect the civil officials, so we should avoid a deadly fight if possible.

This left everyone puzzled.

Now that we know their plans in advance, can't we just wipe them out in one fell swoop?

Lu Ye isn't mentally unstable.
