Chapter 250: Daily Life

Early in the morning, in Lingyun's mansion, a blonde woman was grinding her teeth as she wiped the table in front of her; judging by her posture, she had the momentum to wipe the table to pieces. Beside her, Sayo covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched her.

"Sister Leone, are you still angry at Young Master?" Sayo asked.

"Don't mention that guy to me!" Leone said, gritting her teeth. "I am a dignified big sister of the slums, a top assassin of Night Raid, and now I'm actually wearing a flimsy maid outfit, becoming a maid here—it's really infuriating!"

"But, I heard from Miss Akame, didn't you borrow a large sum of money after signing a Contract with Young Master, and now you're selling yourself here as a maid because you have no money to pay back the debt?" Sayo asked with a puzzled look.

"Don't say it, saying more is just tears!" Leone said with a look of collapse.

Because she had been too excited when she got the money, she accidentally let it slip in front of Najenda, and as a result, the money was directly requisitioned by her, claiming it was to support the Revolutionary Army's operations. Now she was miserable; because she couldn't pay back the money, she could only work here to pay off the debt. Thinking of the huge sum of 100,000 gold coins, Leone felt her life was bleak. Even though the wages for a maid in Lingyun's house were not low, after deducting her usual living expenses and money for alcohol, there wasn't much left. When would she ever be able to pay off the debt?

"Sayo, how is the situation over at Night Raid?" Leone asked.

"I heard they've had a few clashes with the Jaegers, and neither side has gained much of an advantage," Sayo said.

"Is that so? Then I'm relieved!" Leone muttered.

At the Night Raid Base, Akame and her group were holding a meeting.

"Akame, judging from our recent clashes with the Jaegers, their strength is improving very quickly. It's possible that Esdeath has started personally training her subordinates!" Bulat said.

"It's possible. Although out of respect for her master, Esdeath finds it difficult to strike us hard, her subordinates certainly can!" Akame nodded slightly. "You all go and prepare. The Revolutionary Army has already risen in revolt, taking cities without bloodshed along the way, and will soon reach the Imperial Capital. That is when the true decisive battle will take place."

"By the way, Akame, why did the BOSS suddenly leave Night Raid and head to the Revolutionary Army headquarters? Did something happen?" Mine asked with some curiosity.

"It seems there was some problem at headquarters, and the BOSS had to go back to handle it," Akame said. "But looking at the BOSS's expression when she left, I'm afraid it's not anything good!"

"Not anything good? Oh, I remember when we left the Peace Religion, Lingyun seemed to give the BOSS something. Could it be that something is hidden in that?"

"We don't know about the situation at the Revolutionary Army headquarters for now, but I believe the BOSS will handle it well. What we need to do now is to handle the tasks the BOSS left us before she left!" Akame said in a deep voice.

"But, what about Esdeath's side?" Bulat said with some hesitation.

"Esdeath? Let Master worry about that." Akame waved her hand indifferently.

"Your master, Lingyun?" Chelsea's eyes were full of question marks.

"To subdue Esdeath, the most important point is to be able to absolutely suppress her with force. Currently, the only one who can do that is my master!" Akame said.

The members of Night Raid present were all stunned, and then they recalled the scene where the Thunder Giant Dragon pierced through that suffocating Death Phantom with a single strike, and they couldn't help but nod. Only such a powerhouse could be the master of Esdeath, that Sadistic Queen!

"By the way, how is your intelligence gathering on the Wild Hunt going?" Akame looked at Lubbock.

"These guys are true scum. They've only been in the Imperial Capital for a short time, and they've already committed countless crimes." As soon as Akame mentioned the Wild Hunt, a flash of anger appeared in Lubbock's eyes, and he threw a stack of documents onto the table. "Scum like them, even dying a thousand times wouldn't be enough to atone for their sins!"

Akame picked up the documents on the table and read them carefully, her expression gradually darkening. From the information Lubbock brought, everyone in the Wild Hunt was an expert, but the things they did were all things that angered both man and god.

"We must eliminate this kind of darkness!" Akame said with a serious look.

"But this is not an easy task. The members of the Wild Hunt are all Teigu Users, their overall strength is not lower than our Night Raid or the Jaegers, and they usually act in groups. If we don't have a sufficiently perfect plan, I'm afraid it will be easy for them to escape!" Bulat said. "And after they escape, they will definitely make us, Night Raid, their primary target. By then, our situation will be even more difficult. After all, their leader, Syura, is the Prime Minister's son, and he likely holds considerable power."

"That is indeed a problem. Leave the planning of the battle to me. Lubbock, I need more information about the Wild Hunt!" Akame said.

"Okay." Lubbock nodded slightly.

Jaegers Headquarters.

"General Esdeath, we already know the information on everyone in Night Raid. Why don't you order their portraits to be published so that others can assist us in capturing them?" Wave asked Esdeath, who was sitting in a chair, with some confusion.

"Of course, it's because of Lingyun. Do you think Lingyun would let me do that?" Esdeath said with a smile.

"Lingyun, you mean, that person?" Wave said with some surprise. "Does that person have some unusual ideas?"

"That master of mine, he is actually more inclined toward the Revolutionary Army!"

"W-what?" Esdeath's words caused the expressions of many people present to change drastically.

"Then, General Esdeath, what are your thoughts?" Run asked softly.

"Me? Of course, I listen to Master! And don't you think that an Empire like this, even if it were destroyed, there wouldn't be many people who would feel sorry for it, right?"

Although they were mentally prepared, the people present were still shocked by Esdeath's statement. If these remarks were spread, the label of treason would definitely be pinned on Esdeath.

"Don't worry, we are a surprise force under Master. Usually, we can just practice against the people from Night Raid. But if I find out that anyone has leaked today's conversation, I think I would be very happy to treat them to a good time!"

Esdeath's tone sounded like she was joking, but everyone present, except for Kurome and Seryu, shuddered violently. They believed that if they really leaked this matter, they would definitely face Esdeath's monstrous rage.

Seeing everyone present nodding vigorously, a captivating smile curled at the corner of Esdeath's mouth: "You don't need to worry for too long either. I have a premonition that the day of the final battle is not far off."
