It's unclear when exactly, but Violet's way of thinking has been influenced by Lu Ye. Perhaps this phenomenon began long ago, but it's only now becoming apparent; after all, people change most of the time in subtle, gradual ways.

“You’re just making a death throes, old man.” Leone wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth; that kick had hit her pretty hard.

“Perhaps, but guess what, before I die, I might take one of your lives,” Riva said.

Leone let out a lion's growl, and then charged forward again with Violet.

The battle has begun again.

The three figures intertwined resembled the tearing and biting of wild beasts.

As time ticked away, Riva's life also slipped away.

Each time Leone and Violet attacked together, he gained another gruesome wound, but his attacks were futile. Violet and Leone were not weak; having learned from their previous mistakes, their attacks were like eagles skimming across a lake to catch fish—swift, agile, and deadly, giving Leva no chance.

Then, in a battle of offense and defense, Liva was ultimately defeated.

Leone attacked from the front, but Violet seized the opportunity to leap up and circle behind Levi, then pierced his heart with her sword. Blood flowed from the blood groove on his shoulder, taking away his heat and his life.

Liva looked down at the blade emerging from his chest.

The sight of the blood flowing out reminded him of the red wine in the glass.

He was framed and, as a prisoner, was escorted back to the capital to see Minister Ernest. The man in the prison was also holding a glass of red wine. The obese man stepped on his head and, in front of the crowd in the execution square, slowly poured the red wine onto his face. The minister said that it was his last glass of wine as a former general of the empire, his last bit of glory, because even if he didn't die, he would only be exiled to a faraway place for the rest of his life. It was a desolate land where nothing grew, and there were very few people, let alone wine. The only things that existed there, besides stones, were dangerous creatures.

He was filled with remorse.

He dedicated his life to this country, and this is the end he got.

They did not die in the bloody battles of the battlefield, nor did they die in enemy ambushes. Instead, they were publicly executed or exiled to the extreme, eventually becoming food for dangerous species.

He waited alone in the dark prison cell for the end of the world.

But Esdeath's arrival was like a ray of light, dispelling the darkness.

She acknowledged his talent and recognized his achievements.

So... just for this debt of gratitude, it's worth risking everything for him.

Liva's right hand trembled as it moved slowly behind him, maintaining a speed that was imperceptible to anyone.

But Violet noticed his actions and immediately twisted the hilt of her sword, causing the blade inside Riva's body to rotate, attempting to completely destroy his heart. However, Riva seemed unaware that his heart was being twisted like a pretzel and then crushed.

"Aren't you in pain?" Violet suddenly asked.

Liva paused for a moment: "I've long been aware that to gain something, you have to lose something."

Immediately, his hand did not stop, but suddenly burst forth, slashing towards Violet's side of the neck.

Even at the very last moment, he did not lose his fighting spirit.

Violet didn't speak or retaliate; she simply took a step back, pulling the sword in her hand with her.

The blade that had shattered his heart was pulled from Riva's body, and blood gushed out like a torrent, taking away his last remaining life.

"This guy's really tough. Doesn't he feel any pain?"

Looking at the body lying face up on the deck, Leone thought to himself that this guy was really troublesome.

Even with a broken leg, he still has that kind of fighting power. I have to say, he truly deserves to be called the former general of the capital.

“No,” Brad said solemnly, “I know General Leva. He is highly skilled in martial arts, but he is still a mortal and of course he will feel pain.”

"But you saw his performance before."

“When a person feels pain, the body will pause and withdraw. This is a self-protective mechanism of the human body. He was able to do this because of the medicine just now…” Brad’s gaze lingered on the test tube that was now empty of liquid not far away.

If I remember correctly, Lu Ye also found this thing on the four Rakshasa demons before.

I feel it's necessary to report on the situation.

Chapter 245 I'm freezing to death

"At six o'clock in the evening, when the dragon boat returned to port, the deck and its superstructure had suffered serious damage."

The passengers on the ship were given a sedative in the afternoon, and each of them experienced varying degrees of drowsiness and dizziness. The passengers' conditions gradually improved, but the doctor advised continued observation to avoid any long-term effects.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Capital Garrison found three bodies on the deck, all dressed in black uniforms. One of the bodies was decapitated, apparently from an explosion. The garrison is currently investigating the identities of the deceased and taking a headcount of the crew…

Seemingly tired of reading, Lubbock put down the newspaper, picked up his coffee, took a sip, and then let out a boastful long sigh.

"You guys are really lucky. If it weren't for my Imperial Arm, you would have had an even harder time fighting!"

"Hehe, how about I give you some service tonight?" Leone said with a smile.

"Really?" Lubbock rubbed his hands together excitedly. "Then I'll go buy some small umbrellas."

“Hey, what’s our relationship? Do we really need that?” Leone hooked her arm around Lubbock’s neck. “It’s just broken limbs. What you need to buy isn’t a little umbrella, but casts, splints, and bandages…”

Lubbock's face immediately fell: "Then let's forget about it, boss."

"By the way, Akame, how are things on your end?" Brad asked, his arm wrapped in bandages.

"The mission was a success. We evaded the 'Hunter' squad, Hill cut the lock, and quietly sent the civil official away," Akame explained briefly. "Thanks to Lu Ye's intelligence."

Inside a hidden room behind the bookstore, members of the Night Raid Squad are gathered together.

Akame chewed on the jerky, her cheeks puffed out.

Although the mission was very dangerous, it was ultimately completed successfully.

The civil servants on board have been safely delivered.

Meanwhile, in the suburbs, Akame and Hill sneaked in, while Mine provided cover from a distance.

With the information provided by Lu Ye, they successfully completed their mission.

“Well, now that the mission is complete, how about we have a hearty dinner?” Hill suggested.

“Hmm…that’s a good idea! I want pumpkin pie!” Mine raised her hand like a schoolchild.

“Then I’ll have pizza,” Lubbock said.

"Banana pie, thanks," Brad said. "Remember, the one at Fourth Cross. I haven't had it in ages, I really miss it."

"We want to eat meat, big chunks!" Akame and Leone exclaimed in unison, their love for meat unmatched.

Violet blinked as she looked at the scene before her.

Compared to these two "carnivores," she is at most an "omnivore."

After the task and the presentation were completed, the atmosphere in the store became much more relaxed.

Everyone can sit or lie down as they please, make coffee, flip through comic books, or rummage through Lubbock's snack cabinet...

Everyone relaxed.

Some were injured, but no one died.

This result is perfectly acceptable for the Night Raid team; in fact, it's already an ideal outcome.

After all, many comrades had died in the night raids before, which is why they kept replenishing their ranks during the mission.

Despite facing the Three Orcs and the Hunters, Night Raid not only completed its mission but also ensured that no one died. Even the most seriously injured Brad only suffered minor wounds, and given his physique, he would be back to his old self after a period of rest.

With this kind of result, we can definitely go back and pop some champagne.

"Violet, what do you want to eat? We'll go shopping in the market later!" Mine chuckled.

Although she tries her best to act like an older sister in front of Violet on ordinary days, she still occasionally reveals her "true colors".

“Hmm…” Violet thought about it seriously, “Beef patties, I guess.”

"okay."

“Oh, right, don’t forget to bring some alcohol, and it has to be strong!” Lubbock said.

"Lubbock, you're coming with us too? Your identity hasn't been exposed yet, right?"

"But I still have to mind the shop..."

"No problem, I'll take care of the bookstore!" Leone chuckled.

Mine, Hill, Violet, and a reluctant Lubbock walked out of the bookstore.

They strolled through the bustling commercial street, amidst the traffic and crowds of people, each buying what they wanted.

Violet, carrying her shopping bags, looked up at the sparse stars in the night sky.

She suddenly missed him.

How are things going on your end?

……

at the same time.

imperial capital.

In the garden behind the hunters' stronghold.

People in the distance, dressed in thin skirts and beautiful clothes, walk through the city.

Lu Ye stood there, shivering from the cold.

Esdeath was beside him.

Her expression was solemn, and her profile seemed to be bathed in a layer of bright moonlight. Her perfect jawline made one want to touch it with their fingers.

Such a beautiful woman, like a full moon half-hidden by clouds in the sky, is captivating.

But her eyes were neither as gentle as a round moon, nor as cold as winter.

Lu Ye saw only loneliness in her eyes.

She looked like a little girl who had lost her Barbie doll, which was quite pitiful.

However, Lu Ye dared not pity her, because this "little girl who lost her Barbie doll" could freeze him into an ice sculpture in an instant after she lost her temper.

The reason Esdeath is acting this way tonight is quite simple.

—Because the Three Beasts are dead.

He was killed on a dragon boat in the canal, and his death was quite gruesome.

Daidas's heart was blown out.
