Chat group: Taming Kuina, controlling Cynthia

She was both annoyed and scared, but there was no point in dwelling on it now, so she could only walk into the meeting room dejectedly.

Najenda is having a meeting with all members of 23, apparently because of Leone's previous information that she urgently summoned everyone.

"Come back so soon?"

Najenda noticed Leone's unusual expression. "What happened?"

Mine chimed in from the side, "Oh, it's rare to see you looking so dejected. Did you get a setback?"

Leone, not in the mood for arguing, reported with frustration, "Boss, I might be in trouble."

She recounted the entire incident in detail, including the mysterious man's warning.

"Space teleportation?"

Najenda frowned. "Sila does have such an Imperial Arm, but telepathic communication is another matter... It shouldn't be him."

“What’s even stranger is that the ministers and officials are all dead, and Esdeath is recruiting troops.”

Najendan grew increasingly confused. "What does she want from us?"

"Boss! Our base has definitely been discovered. We must relocate immediately!"

Brand said with a solemn expression.

For an assassination team, there is nothing more dangerous than exposing their hideout.

"But...didn't that person say he could find us no matter where we hide? Besides, his strength is unfathomable. If we just run away, won't that anger him?"

Lubbock hesitated.

"Pshaw! What do you mean by breaking a promise? We didn't even agree to see him!"

Mine curled her lip in disdain, "That pretentious guy is probably just an ugly freak who's too ashamed to show his face!"

At the same time, Gu Beichen in the palace suddenly sneezed.

"Caught a cold?"

Esdeath cast a concerned glance at her.

"how is this possible?"

Gu Beichen rubbed his nose. "I guess someone from Night Raid is cursing me."

"It's them again?"

Esdeath raised an eyebrow.

"Who else could it be but them?"

Gu Beichen shrugged helplessly.

Esdeath chuckled softly.

Back at Night Raid headquarters, Najendan made a decision after careful consideration: "Brand, you take everyone and retreat first. I'll stay behind to deal with them alone tomorrow."

"no!"

"This is too dangerous!"

Everyone immediately objected.

Brand said firmly, "We either go together or we stay together! We're not afraid of dying!"

Everyone wore a determined expression.

Lubbock reacted the most strongly—after all, his feelings for Najendan were known throughout the Night Raid.

Najendan knew that although Lubbock was deeply in love with her, he always said frivolous things.

She was focused solely on overthrowing the empire and saving the people, and had no interest in romance, so their relationship remained at an impasse.

"Ok, deal!"

Najendan appreciated everyone's concern, but insisted on her own opinion: "I must stay."

Esdeath's unusual behavior is bothering me; I need to ask her directly about her true intentions.

She suspects that the mysterious powerful figure who recently eradicated evil in the capital is connected to Esdeath.

These two things happened too coincidentally.

She could not feel at ease until she understood Esdeath's purpose.

This former boss made her deeply wary; he was an extremely dangerous person.

"We'll stay together, we'll never abandon you."

Lubbock's tone was resolute.

Brand smiled and said, "It's safer with more people. Even if we encounter danger, we can look out for each other."

Leone, Mine, Akame, and Hill all expressed their agreement.

Faced with everyone's insistence, Najendan was both moved and helpless: "Alright, then they can all stay."

Get ready tonight for tomorrow's challenges.

Everyone wore smiles, but their hearts were heavy.

They had long since disregarded life and death; their only worry was that their ideals might not be realized.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Smoke filled the capital city, and the crimes had nowhere to hide.

Those wicked scoundrels were utterly powerless against the group members' ruthless methods, and didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy.

Mind-reading ability makes these villains nowhere to hide, as conspicuous as fireflies in the dark.

The group members were full of energy and completed the complete cleanup of the capital in less than a day.

The execution of over a million villains demonstrates just how corrupt this city had become.

As evening approached, the group chat became lively.

Tony spoke first: "I can't find any targets here anymore, what about you guys?"

Zhang Sanfeng replied: "The same goes for this old Taoist."

However, it seems there are still some who have slipped through the net in the military.

@Esdeath, can you handle this?

Esdeath remained silent.

This is going to involve her trusted confidants!

Group admin Gu Beichen immediately made the decision: "No need to trouble you, I'll handle it."

If we're going to rectify things, we must do it thoroughly.

Esdeath looked at Gu Beichen helplessly: "If we can't even protect Riva and the others, who will help me manage things in the future? Why don't you take over?"

Gu Beichen scratched his head awkwardly: "Then let the three of them live, and execute the others who are guilty of heinous crimes, and let the ones with less serious crimes atone for their crimes through good deeds, how about that?"

"Ok."

Esdeath reluctantly agreed.

She understood that to enforce military discipline, she had to take drastic measures.

The two men acted immediately and quickly completed the purge of the army.

The whole process was clean and efficient.

The capital city underwent a major purge, and even the legion Esdeath brought back suffered more than half its losses.

The results were surprisingly good.

The military's morale has been completely renewed, and its combat effectiveness has increased dramatically.

The soldiers' awe of Esdeath and Gu Beichen ran deep in their bones, and they dared not harbor any evil thoughts again.

"It works well."

Esdeath nodded in satisfaction.

She sent a message in the group chat: "The cleaning is complete. I've prepared a banquet at the palace. Does everyone want to come back?"

Tony Stark quickly replied: "No, we're advancing north, preparing to sweep through everything in our path."

】

Zhang Sanfeng: [Let's go to the northwest.]

】

Gabriel: [Leave the East to us.]

】

Lu Xueqi: The southeast belongs to us.

】

Other group members also expressed their opinions, stating that the empire was divided into eight regions, with each team responsible for one region.

Everyone agreed that they could only go and help elsewhere after they had cleared their own territory.

Everyone put in their best effort for the reward.

After all, Gu Beichen gave them too much.

Of course, there's also the factor of not being able to stand certain people.

Seeing this, Gu Beichen suggested: "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's hold the banquet after the cleaning is finished."

Additionally, if you encounter a Teigu user who isn't inherently bad, you can bring them back to the Imperial Capital and have them serve as Esdeath's crew.

】

Tony Stark was a little disappointed: [So we can't take their Imperial Arms? What a shame...]

Xiong Ba was speechless: [You're short of this little bit?]

Tony confidently stated: "Even a small mosquito is still meat; only by being thrifty and managing your household well can you become wealthy."

】

Yue Buqun silently gave him the middle finger.

Angel Yan also sighed: "It seems that flying Imperial Arm is out of the question. I was hoping to collect it."

】

Gabriel retorts: "Don't you have wings? Want to make two pairs?"

Saitama looked puzzled: "Angels can level up like this?"

Gabriel rolled her eyes: "What are you thinking? I was just kidding!"

Saitama pursed his lips, thinking to himself that this girl was really not cute.

Angel Yan explained, "Our angel civilization doesn't need that many wing decorations; one pair is enough."

I just wanted to collect some unique styles.

Gabriel snorted dismissively.

Gu Beichen interjected, "That's easy."

"Once I've finished researching the manufacturing method, you can customize it according to your own preferences."

Kuina asked in surprise, "Group leader, you've already figured out the Imperial Arms so quickly?"

Gu Beichen replied with a smile, "A man shouldn't just say 'fast' so casually."

I've already cracked the crafting recipes for several Imperial Arms, and I've put them all in the shop.

Gabriel scoffed, "Group owner, are you making a suggestive joke?"

Kuina chimed in, "That's right!"

Gu Beichen retorted: "You were the one who brought it up first!"

Kuina stamped her feet in frustration: "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
