Chapter 515

"I was sent by the Third Councilor of Fire Moth. A month ago, all the councilors held a subjugation meeting regarding you (the following 10,000 words are omitted)... This is all the information I know about the higher-ups!"

Sakura knelt on the ground and honestly told everything she knew. After all, she could be said to have been forced to take on this mission, and there was absolutely no need for loyalty.

"Hmm, thanks, the information is very useful!"

Bai Ge nodded and said, finally finding detailed clues about these old bastards. Although Sakura didn't know all the information about the higher-ups, it was enough for him to carry out a major cleanup.

For Bai Ge, who longed to save the world.

These parasites were unnecessary existences.

"Then what about you, what do you plan to do next?"

"... The choices given to me were only completing the mission or death. Thank you for being willing to let me go, Captain Bai Ge, but I was never a free person to begin with."

Sakura revealed a miserably beautiful smile.

She was a girl who lived up to her name, and at this moment, revealing this sad expression made people feel as if they were seeing a miserably beautiful fantasy of pink cherry blossoms falling to the ground.

Poison Moth did not allow failure; the outcome of a failed mission was only death. Even if she didn't die in the mission, she would be executed by other Poison Moth members upon returning to headquarters.

Sakura could certainly resist; she already possessed power, but the girl's weakness was still held by the higher-ups. As long as Rin was still being "protected" by those people, she could only obey orders.

Thinking about it this way, the best outcome for Sakura might be to be imprisoned for life by Bai Ge. In the eyes of the higher-ups, she would be no different from dead, and she could both save her own life and ensure her sister's safety, which could be called "killing two birds with one stone."

This was already the best future Sakura could think of.

Even though this might mean she and Rin would never see each other again, just being able to save both sisters' lives was already very wonderful, and... being Bai Ge's prisoner, it surely wouldn't be too bad, right?

"Hey~ don't avoid reality, Sakura."

Bai Ge's fist lightly tapped Sakura's head. Looking at the girl whose eyes were still hollow, he revealed a helpless expression.

"Captain... Bai Ge..."

"Do you really think those bastards will settle your sister well after you die? Being in Poison Moth, don't you know how low the moral standards of that group of scum are? Mere verbal promises, in their eyes, what difference do they have from words never spoken?"

Bai Ge pinched Sakura's chin, forcing her to look into his eyes, and used his words to completely shatter the last bit of luck and expectation in her heart.

"The only outcome I can imagine is that your sister is used as a consumable in some human experiment. Perhaps some guy with bad taste will tell your sister that I was the one who killed you, that I am your enemy, defiling and using the feelings between you sisters, and in the future, let your sister continue to come and kill me."

"... No, don't."

Sakura desperately wanted to cover her ears and not listen to his words, but two ears and one pair of hands couldn't cover them.

Bai Ge's voice was like a demonic shadow pouring into her ears, bloodily revealing the reality she had been deliberately avoiding and not daring to face.

"Sakura, you are your sister's last and only guarantee. If you are gone, then Rin will have no future."

"What should I... do?"

Tears flickered in Sakura's eyes.
