Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

The sensation on my lips felt like the clouds in the sky.

Lu Ye sighed inwardly.

This woman has such a domineering personality...

This can't go on.

It seems that leaving the Hunters can be put on the agenda.

Chapter 252 So-called Happiness

The next day.

Hunter Squad Headquarters.

The brown porcelain cups were steaming, and there was complete silence on the conference table, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall.

Even Kuroko has switched her snacks to soft pastries that can be chewed silently in her mouth.

Under Esdeath's guidance, the group carefully analyzed yesterday's events.

Then the suspicion of a mole within the team was ruled out.

Although they ruled out the correct answer first, it was quite reasonable of them to do so.

After all, the detailed mission plan was formulated that morning, and from the time they arrived at the mission location, no one had the means to relay information. Kurohime, Ran, Will, Polus, and Dr. Fashion were traveling together, and no one was witnessed leaving the group for an extended period. As for Lu Ye, he was with Esdeath, making that even more unlikely.

Therefore, the Hunter Squad's final conclusion was that the Night Raid Squad possessed Imperial Arms for gathering intelligence.

Esdeath felt that it must have been yesterday when she noticed someone watching her on the street. She thought it was an assassin from the Night Raid and wanted to lure him into a trap, but she didn't expect that the other party was gathering intelligence. In other words, her conversation with Lu Ye was completely overheard by the other party.

This is precisely why the combat mission failed.

After the initial defeat, everyone was in low spirits, even depressed.

However, failing the mission is not the most important thing.

Most importantly, the night raid that took the officials away right under their noses was a remarkable feat.

This was like a slap in the face to everyone.

If you lose a head-on battle, you can attribute it to your own lack of strength and improve through subsequent training.

But yesterday they didn't even see each other's faces.

It felt like a dragon that had stolen a princess was preparing to confront the approaching warriors.

In the normal course of events, the dragon and the warrior would clash, and the outcome of the battle would determine the direction of the next part of the story.

But these dragons didn't even see a trace of the warrior, and when they came to their senses, the princess was already gone.

Finally, Esdeath spoke: "In this mission, the enemy likely possessed a powerful Imperial Arm for intelligence gathering, but regardless, we lost, suffering the loss of three subordinates and our Imperial Arm... From now on, I require you all to intensify your training. The Imperial Capital Martial Arts Tournament begins in seven days. Except for Dr. Fashion, every one of you must participate, and you must achieve a top-ten ranking without using your Imperial Arms. Anyone who fails to meet this requirement... I will personally train them!"

The hunter squad perked up.

Although it is a martial arts competition for the citizens of the capital, it is actually a competition held to select users of the Imperial Arms.

Therefore, in principle, anyone can participate, from beggars to military officers, as long as they sign up, there are absolutely no restrictions.

Moreover, the competition offers a substantial prize, enough to make a family of three happy for most of their lives.

Therefore, under such highly tempting conditions, not only martial artists from the common people, but also people from the Imperial Fist Temple in the capital and the army would flock to participate in the competition in order to obtain the generous prize money.

There are many strong individuals among them. Leaving aside the military, the Imperial Fist Temple is the highest-level martial arts temple in the empire. Even without Imperial Arms, its masters can match the skills and strength of Imperial Arms users. However, due to corruption near the capital, its scale has expanded rapidly in recent years, and its overall strength has weakened somewhat.

Many martial artists in the civilian population are also formidable, such as Tatsumi, Ieyasu, and Sayo. Each of them alone has the strength to kill level three or even level two dangerous species. If they had a suitable weapon, Ieyasu and Sayo could have killed the insect-type dangerous species that initially attacked the carriage without Lu Ye's help.

Esdeath rested her hands on the table, leaning slightly forward, her icy blue eyes radiating immense pressure.

"And the answer?!"

"Yes, Captain!!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices bright and clear.

“Very well, then I want to see results in seven days.” Esdeath raised her wrist and glanced at her watch. “It’s getting late, time for lunch. Let’s dismiss.”

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up, the chairs slid on the floor, and then returned to their places.

Lu Ye arrived at the door and was just about to push it open when a knocking sound suddenly came from outside.

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment.

Who is it?

This is the Hunters' meeting room; ordinary people can't just walk in.

He opened the door, and there stood a beautiful brown-haired woman.

She was wearing a sky-blue dress, with a blonde little girl in her arms and a large wooden box in her hand.

Upon seeing Lu Ye, the woman smiled happily: "Darling."

"Daddy!" the little girl called out.

Lu Ye was taken aback.

Honey?

dad?

The next second, Lu Ye felt himself being pushed away.

The other person's movements were forceful, yet gentle, and not at all offensive.

"What brings you here?" The speaker was none other than Polus, who greeted them like a delighted child.

Lu Ye never expected that this shirtless guy wearing a gas mask was actually a married man with children.

And his wife is very beautiful!

Not only Lu Ye, but everyone else was stunned, their inner thoughts probably similar to Lu Ye's.

"It's because this kid kept asking to see his dad, so I came. I heard you were transferred to a new unit, so I made a big bento box. Remember to get along well with your colleagues!"

"Build good relationships!" the little girl said.

"Haha, I definitely will." Polus scratched his head sheepishly.

The couple was chatting, and Lu Ye didn't want to disturb them, so she had to leave.

“How did they get in…?” he asked Will.

“I don’t know either…” Will said. “I’ve only been in the capital for a short time.”

“Under my command, family members have the right to visit relatives.” Esdeath came up behind the two of them and put her hand on Lu Ye’s shoulder to explain, “Although the palace is heavily guarded, I managed to get this right.”

After she finished speaking, she looked towards the doorway.

Lu Ye and Will looked over and saw several more fully armed soldiers at the door.

They were responsible for guarding Borus's wife and daughters, which was also a form of protection to prevent them from wandering into the wrong place and being mistakenly killed.

Watching Polus talk to his wife and daughter, Lu Ye thought to himself, "Wow, they can even visit the palace while visiting relatives? Amazing."

From this perspective, Esdeath is actually quite good to her subordinates.

"Have you been eating properly?"

"Yes, look, I've even gained weight!"

"Daddy, I want a hug! Lift me up high!"

"Alright, coming right up!"

Borus lifted his young daughter high above his head and let her ride on his neck.

Seeing the harmonious scene of the Polus family, Lu Ye suddenly missed Violet.

I wonder if that girl was injured during the mission.

After all, he was facing the Three Beast Warriors, and even though he had made preparations in advance, Lu Ye was still worried.

He took two steps back and respectfully and politely withdrew from Esdeath's hand.

"Captain, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Before Esdeath could speak, Lu Ye turned and left through the back door.

Will stared in the direction Lu Ye had left, and said somewhat dejectedly, "Lunch is coming up soon, it would be so nice if we all ate together, I haven't finished the seafood I brought yet..."

“He probably wants to go home rather than stay with us,” Esdeath murmured.

“Go home?” Will was taken aback. “But isn’t his hometown in the countryside…”

Esdeath did not speak.

Home is not a house, but the people who are by your side.

You will feel happy as long as that person is by your side.

Where that person is, that is the direction of home.

Lu Ye's home in this world... no, no matter where he is, Violet will always be his home.

Esdeath, realizing this, felt a pang of sadness.

Once upon a time, she also had a "home".

"Oh, I see. He's already bought a house in the capital?" Will exclaimed, suddenly realizing. "I'm so envious! House prices in the capital are really expensive. I did the math, and I'd have to save for twenty years without eating or drinking to buy a house there..."

"Oh? So you're planning to buy a house in the capital?" Esdeath asked.

“Yes, yes,” Will chuckled, a little embarrassed, “Actually, my mom has always told me that the capital is a good place. Her wish is to retire in the capital and then hold her grandchildren.”

"If you want to find a wife, why don't you change your outfit first?" Suddenly, Kuroko's voice rang out from the side.

"What? My clothes are quite warm, aren't they?"

"At least put on some new clothes, okay?" Black Eyes said, his voice slightly muffled as he sucked on a lollipop. "Anyway, I don't like your type. Clothes, besides keeping you warm, also have the function of beautifying yourself."

Upon hearing this, Will looked down at his attire.

He wore a light blue denim jacket with a fuzzy texture, and linen trousers with dozens of patches of various sizes underneath.

Will scratched his cheek, looking rather shabby.

But there was nothing he could do; his mother had to pay for some of his travel expenses to come to the capital.
