Chapter 233: The Kitten That Delivered Itself to the Door

"BOSS, stop keeping us in suspense. Who is our other reinforcement?" As soon as they returned to the new base, Leone spoke to Najenda.

"You should have heard of her name; it's Chelsea!" Najenda said.

"Chelsea, Chelsea?" Lubbock muttered a few times, then said with a look of surprise, "Could it be that Chelsea who completed many high-difficulty assassination missions and achieved an assassination record on par with Akame? It is said that her assassinations have never missed; she is quite a legendary figure!"

"Assassinations have never missed? What kind of record is that? Even Akame would fall short compared to her!" Leone was also full of surprise.

"To be able to have such a top-tier assassin take action, who is her target this time?" Bulat asked.

"The person she is to assassinate this time is an extremely dangerous individual. It is said that he was a former Instructor of the Imperial Assassination Squad. When he was in office, he trained a batch of extremely powerful assassins that once caused the Revolutionary Army to suffer heavy losses. Headquarters feels that this person is simply too dangerous. If he were to train another batch of assassins, it would definitely pose a huge threat to our revolutionary cause, so they decided to assassinate him!" Najenda said.

"A former Instructor of the Imperial Assassination Squad who trained a group of powerful assassins?" Upon hearing these two descriptions, Akame's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "BOSS, what is the name of the person Chelsea is going to assassinate?"

"Hmm, according to the intelligence, it seems to be Lingyun!" Najenda said.

"What, Chelsea is going to assassinate Master?" Akame stood up abruptly, slapping the table, and stared straight at Najenda.

"Master? What Master? Akame, what's wrong with you?" Najenda looked at Akame and asked, feeling a bit strange.

"BOSS, you just said that the person Chelsea is going to assassinate is named Lingyun, and he was also a former Instructor of the Imperial Assassination Squad, right?" Akame asked with some anxiety.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Najenda also noticed at this moment that Akame's tone was not quite right. "Don't tell me you know information about this person?"

"This isn't a matter of whether there is a problem or not; it's that there's big trouble!" Akame said with a wry smile. "BOSS, do you know? This person Chelsea is going to assassinate is the Master of both me and my younger sister!"

"Your Master?" Najenda stood up suddenly, looking at Akame with a look of shock.

"That's right, Lingyun is my Master. All of my abilities were taught to me by Master. Moreover, Kurome is by Master's side. Just with her alone, it is already destined that Chelsea's assassination will absolutely end in failure!" Akame said with a serious expression.

"Is that Master of yours really that terrifying?" Lubbock was still somewhat skeptical.

"I have a senior sister named Esdeath!" Akame glanced at him and replied indifferently.

"Oh, so you have a senior sister named Esdeath." Lubbock said with a smile, but his smile quickly stiffened. "Esdeath, the Esdeath you mentioned, could it be General Esdeath!"

Akame nodded slightly, and a sound of gasping for air suddenly echoed in the room. How strong Akame's strength was could be seen from her killing Dr. Stylish just now. As for her younger sister Kurome, one could see the other's power just from the fact that she could fight Akame to a draw. As for Esdeath, being the strongest in the Empire, there was probably no one present who did not know her great name and strength. To be able to become the Master of these three, his strength could be imagined.

"Since you are Esdeath's junior sister, you must have some understanding of her strength. Then, how does Esdeath's strength compare to your Master's?" Najenda took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

"In front of Master, Esdeath has never won!" Akame threw out another bombshell.

"A-Akame, you aren't joking, are you!" Lubbock, who was on the side, said with a forced smile.

"I'm not!" Akame replied in a cute way, yet she invisibly dealt a blow to everyone's hearts.

"Chelsea's assassination ability is so strong, there shouldn't be a problem, right!" Susanoo said.

"Tell me, what is the success rate of Chelsea assassinating me or Esdeath, and what is the chance of escaping after an assassination failure? Now substitute this situation onto my Master; what do you say the success rate is?" Akame's counter-question made Susanoo fall silent as well.

"In other words, is Chelsea destined to be lost in this mission?" Najenda silently lit a cigarette, her face hidden in the smoke, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Eh? When did I say Chelsea would die?" Akame tilted her head and asked the people who had collectively fallen into silence in the room.

"Eh? Won't die? Why?" Mine asked with a puzzled look.

"Master is not a bloodthirsty person, and Chelsea is a member of the Revolutionary Army. If she clarifies the situation, as long as she doesn't touch Master's bottom line, Master shouldn't kill her, but punishment is definitely unavoidable!" Akame said.

"Regardless, being able to survive is a good thing. By the way, Akame, regarding this Master of yours, can you find a way to pull him over to our side?" Najenda took a deep breath and said slowly.

"This, I don't know either. After all, when I left Master to join Night Raid, Master didn't say anything." Akame shook her head slightly. "However, I will go back in a while and try to see if I can bring Chelsea back."

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Najenda said.

In Lingyun's mansion, Sayo was holding a small white cat, standing pitifully in front of Lingyun: "Young Master, I found this kitten outside. Seeing it was homeless, I took the liberty of bringing it back. The kitten is so pitiful, can I adopt it?"

Lingyun looked at Sayo, then looked at the kitten held in Sayo's arms, a flash of unreadable light passing through his eyes, and asked with a half-smile: "Sayo, do you really want to adopt this kitten?"

"Yes, I will take good care of it and keep an eye on it; I won't let it disturb you, Young Master!" Sayo nodded firmly.

"Don't forget, this kitten was brought back by you from outside; it might be some kind of wild cat. The nature of this kind of cat is quite fierce; you never know when it will extend its claws toward you. Under these circumstances, do you still want to adopt it?" Lingyun asked again.

"I will teach it well. This kitten is very smart; it will definitely be able to understand!" Sayo guaranteed.

"Then you must be careful; don't let this kitten run away by accident when the time comes." Lingyun, not knowing what he was thinking of, suddenly stood up. "Wait here for a moment; I'm going to get something."

"Oh!" Sayo nodded.

Lingyun returned quickly. In his hand, there was a small cat bell. Sayo's gaze fell on the cat bell, and her eyes lit up. Although this cat bell was not large, there were intricate cloud patterns on the bell, looking exceptionally beautiful. Even the kitten held in her arms had a glimmer of an unclear light when looking at this bell.

"Young Master, what is this?" Sayo asked.

"A cat bell!" Lingyun said indifferently. "Since you adopted this little guy, it is a member of our place, a member of our family. You should remember that when you became a maid in my house, I gave you a bow. When Ieyasu became a guard, I gave him a sword. Although it is just a kitten, I have to give something to show for it, right! I just happen to have a cat bell here, so I'll give it to it!"

"Oh!" Sayo nodded, then watched as Lingyun used a white ribbon to put the cat bell on the kitten's neck.

The kitten wearing the cat bell seemed a bit uncomfortable, shaking its head slightly, and the bell around its neck made a crisp sound. However, its appearance was even cuter. Sayo couldn't help but have her eyes shine, lifting the kitten in front of her and rubbing against it intimately.

After Sayo left with the kitten, Busujima Saeko, who was on the side, suddenly spoke: "Ling-kun, that kitten is a bit strange! I actually felt killing intent toward you from this kitten just now. Although this trace of killing intent was very faint, I am certain that I did not feel it wrong!"

"Of course, this kitten is not an ordinary kitten, but a little wild cat that will take a person's life!" Lingyun said pointedly.

"You mean, Chelsea?" Busujima Saeko frowned slightly. "But why would she come here and even develop killing intent toward you?"

"Well, who knows? Maybe there is some misunderstanding in this." Lingyun spread his hands. "However, since she dared to come and assassinate me, although I won't kill her because of this matter, a small punishment is unavoidable!"

"A small punishment? Could it be that cat bell?" Busujima Saeko asked.

Lingyun nodded slightly, smiling without saying a word.
