The green-haired boy in the trench coat was fiddling with something in his hands.
A disc-shaped object on the back of his left hand slowly rotated, and extremely fine, barely perceptible lines began to contract.
This is Lubbock, and his Imperial Arm – "Cross Tail".
"Intelligence on the enemy's three beast warriors is complete!"
He waved to Leone, who had transformed into a beast on the nearby building.
This is part of the plan.
Although Esdeath had already assigned the tasks, she had not yet established the division of the teams and their functions until this morning.
It's not that she doesn't know how.
Instead, she was debating whether or not to let Lu Ye go with her.
Finally, she came up with a plan, which was to pretend to be lovers. This would not only attract the assassins, but also allow her to go shopping with Lu Ye. It was perfect, wasn't it?
But the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Because she didn't plan the groupings in advance, Lu Ye couldn't develop a more detailed and specific plan, which led to the current situation.
Because during the mission, Lu Ye had difficulty contacting the Night Raid team and was unable to transmit intelligence in a timely manner.
Therefore, Lu Ye proposed the method of "tracking and monitoring".
The so-called "tracking and eavesdropping" method involves having Lubbock track Lu Ye while simultaneously using his Imperial Arms to create a barrier from a distance to listen to the conversations of the Hunter team. The pebble Lu Ye felt on the back of his neck earlier was Lubbock's doing.
Lubbock's Imperial Arms is unique; some of its wires can transmit sound very well.
In other words, it's a natural eavesdropping device, somewhat like taking two paper cups, drilling a hole in the bottom of each cup, stringing a wire together, and having two people talk to each other from a distance, but with a much better effect.
But Lu Ye actually overlooked one thing.
That is, Esdeath has extremely strong insight.
She had already sensed that someone was watching her.
Therefore, logically speaking, it was impossible for her not to notice the existence of the surrounding barrier, and this barrier was changing as she moved.
Keluye's "tactical lean" completely diverted Esdeath's attention.
At that moment, her attention was almost entirely focused on Lu Ye's face and the sensation of his waist.
Therefore, she was unable to detect the existence of the barrier immediately.
It was a lucky accident.
Chapter 240 Dragon Boat
Enemy intelligence has been obtained.
Lubbock clenched his fist, appearing very excited.
However, seeing the two people embracing each other on the bench in the distance, Lubbock felt a surge of envy.
"Damn it, I was being held by that voluptuous woman... Why wasn't it me!?"
Lubbock was envious.
Meanwhile, Leone on the other side gritted her teeth, with beads of sweat trickling down her forehead and temples.
She volunteered to protect Lubbock; night raid teams operate in pairs so they can look after each other.
When Leone brought it up, Lubbock was touched for a while, thinking to himself that the boss really didn't hold a grudge against him for complaining.
However, Leone's true target was Esdeath.
Leone, who comes from the slums, has a very combative personality.
She had always wanted to see this legendary "strongest man in the capital" in person.
In her view, Esdeath, like Minister Ernest, was worth killing.
But after seeing her with her own eyes today, she realized just how that woman really was.
After transforming into a beast, Leone's perception was greatly enhanced.
Even ignoring any information gleaned from Lubbock's barrier, the aura emanating from Esdeath alone was enough to send shivers down one's spine. It was the pressure emanating from an absolute hunter; in Esdeath's presence, Leone felt like a kitten.
No wonder Esdeath dared to appear openly on the street.
How could a woman at the top of the food chain be afraid of a lion that is not worth fearing?
Leone's animalistic instincts urged him to flee this place as soon as possible.
If it weren't for the large number of people in the city during the day, she probably would have already given away her location.
The idea of finding a chance to defeat Esdeath is too naive.
"Boss, it's time to go," Lubbock called out.
"...They've arrived."
Although I'm reluctant, let's retreat for now; the mission is the most important thing.
The two quickly disappeared from the rooftop.
Meanwhile, Esdeath seemed to have sensed something.
"The aura has vanished. So you didn't fall for my trick... What a pity."
Esdeath thought to herself that she had originally wanted to try a new method of torture, but she didn't expect the other side to give up so easily.
Did they see through my disguise?
Perhaps taking it a step further would be better?
Although the prey was gone, she had no intention of removing the "trap".
The feeling of a hug doesn't seem so bad?
But at that moment, Lu Ye took the initiative to leave her embrace.
"Captain, the target has left. I'd like to get some water..."
"Oh, please go ahead."
Lu Ye opened the lid of the juice and sucked on the straw.
The blueberry juice with ice slid down my throat, feeling incredibly refreshing and helping to lower the body's internal heat.
He realized that Lubbock's barrier had dissipated, and the evidence was that the line that had just sent the pebble flying was no longer there.
Esdeath seemed somewhat surprised after taking a sip of the juice.
"Mmm, this tastes really good."
"Well, it's freshly squeezed after all," Lu Ye said. "But don't I have to go on a mission?"
"Why don't you stay here with me for a while? It's too late to go to the suburbs now. There's music playing on the ferry too."
Lu Ye fell silent.
Judging from this situation, I won't be able to go to the battlefield.
However, Leone and Lubbock had already received intelligence.
I've done all I can; now it's up to the team members.
Violet... Good luck!
Esdeath raised the glass of juice in her hand, the liquid reflecting a wonderful hue in the sunlight.
"Let's all have a drink together after the mission is completed."
She looked at the azure sky and smiled.
……
The capital city, the starting point of the Grand Canal.
People come and go, and there are many boats on the river.
But the most eye-catching sight is the huge, red luxury ship docked in the port.
It is very large, probably over twenty meters tall, making it a warship-sized vessel.
The bow was decorated with a huge dragon head, and palace-style buildings were constructed on the upper deck.
"Wow, it's huge!"
Violet sighed.
She recalled that she had never seen a ship of this size before, even when she was in Leiden.
"It's called a 'Dragon Boat,' doesn't it look like a fortress?"
Violet heard Brad's voice in her ear.
Violet looked around, but saw no one.
"I am here."
Brad patted the girl on the shoulder to help her confirm her location.
This is the ability of the Imperial Arm "Manipulated Armor: Demon Possession".
The ability to make oneself transparent is a divine skill for infiltration, a skill that any assassin dreams of.
Because Brad's face was already on wanted posters all over the capital, this was the only way he could appear.
“What about him?” Violet asked.
"You mean Lu Ye? He probably can't come. We'll handle this mission. Lubbock is setting up a barrier around us, and Leone is trying to get you a ticket to get on board. The ship will set sail in ten minutes. If you don't have a ticket, we'll board quietly."
"The mission is to protect the civil servants from harm, right?" Violet asked.
"Yes, you've already seen the civil official's portrait, right? After we get on the ship, all we need to do is keep an eye on him and prevent the Empire's assassin organization from taking advantage of the situation."
“Okay.” Violet nodded.
A few minutes later, Leone arrived, holding an exquisite boat ticket.
"Here you are, little Violet, your boarding ticket."
