Chapter 225: Synchronized Goals (Fourth update, bonus for Alliance Leader 'Su Xiao Chan~')

~9 min read 1,615 words

"Yesterday at noon, I encountered the Night Raid unit. We fought, and I stabbed your sister in the heart. She didn't die. That's all."

Kurome nodded in understanding. She continued to eat her biscuits with a *crunch, crunch*.

"You're very strong, to actually be able to defeat my sister."

As Kurome spoke, two more people walked into the room.

Run, a blond, warm-hearted man who was once a teacher. By chance, he obtained the Teigu: Mastema, Thousand-Mile Flight. This is a pair of winged Teigu that allows the user to fly and fire feathers.

The other person is Dr. Stylish, a scientist with homosexual tendencies who loves to pursue fashion. His Teigu is Perfecter, Hand of God, which allows the user to trigger their fingers to perform precise movements a hundred times over.

Dr. Stylish is very strong in scientific research, but he is somewhat overconfident in combat. In the original work, he blindly and confidently confronted the entire Night Raid unit and ultimately died miserably.

There are six chairs in the conference room, and now all six people have gathered.

The six people are Su Xiao, Wave, Kurome, Bols, Dr. Stylish, and Run.

The Three Beasts are dead; this is the new dark unit of Esdeath's army. The establishment of this new dark unit is mainly targeted at the Night Raid unit.

After the six people arrived, Bols stood up and walked out of the conference room. Not long after, he actually brought back a few cups of tea.

Only then did Bols reveal his personality. First, he apologized to everyone. As the oldest, he had actually remained silent until now.

A cup of tea was placed in front of Su Xiao. Bols nodded at Su Xiao and said, "Please take care of me." Su Xiao nodded.

His gaze turned toward the door. He sensed Esdeath's aura; this female General had been hiding there for a long time.

*Bang! *

The door was rudely pushed open, and a masked Esdeath walked into the room.

"What are you few doing here!"

Esdeath let out a low roar. Of the six people present, five stood up. Su Xiao yawned; this was Esdeath's test for the newcomers, and he did not count as a newcomer.

"Hey, hey, we were called here to gather..."

Wave was the first to step forward; the boy from the fishing village was truly simple and honest.

*Bang. *

Esdeath raised her leg and kicked, sending Wave flying and tumbling. Bols discovered this situation and also rushed forward.

But Bols's Teigu was not by his side, so he was naturally beaten to the ground.

The remaining three did not move. Run's personality was relatively steady, and he vaguely guessed something.

Dr. Stylish and Kurome recognized Esdeath; both of them were in units near the Imperial Capital.

They did not fight Esdeath, but that did not mean Esdeath would not take the initiative to attack.

Esdeath did not wear weapons, nor did she use her Teigu, starting close-quarters combat with these three.

In less than a minute, Run followed in Wave's footsteps. Dr. Stylish's combat power was usually weaker, and he was quickly knocked down, leaving only Kurome.

"Are you not going to make a move?"

Kurome looked at Su Xiao; this girl was quite witty.

"You guys solve it yourselves..."

Before Su Xiao finished speaking, Esdeath actually kicked toward him.

Grabbing Checking Zhan Long Shan from the conference table with one hand, Su Xiao flipped back and retreated.

"Heh~, negligence is a good habit."

Esdeath made a move to rush toward Su Xiao. At this time, Esdeath neither carried weapons nor used her Teigu's ice-type abilities.

Su Xiao raised Checking Zhan Long Shan in its sheath, and Esdeath's footsteps stopped.

"Too serious, it's really a headache. The flaws in your personality are a bit hard to correct for a while."

Esdeath did not rush forward again. She knew that if Su Xiao drew his blade, she would not get any benefits. Moreover, she had just spoken, meaning to let Su Xiao get serious, but Su Xiao was too serious, almost to the point of drawing his blade.

Looking around, Esdeath knew that testing to this extent was enough. These new subordinates were not weak even without using their Teigu.

Esdeath took off her mask, her eyes smiling as she looked at the few people in the conference room.

"You few performed well."

The people in the room were startled when they saw Esdeath.

"General Esdeath!"

Hearing this title, Wave, who was lying on the ground, was devastated. His superior was not very normal either.

"All of you, change into formal attire. I will take you to see the Emperor, and then we'll have a party."

Esdeath tossed the mask in her hand aside.

"General, I might not be able to see the Emperor for the time being."

Su Xiao spoke, and Esdeath looked at Su Xiao in confusion.

"Regarding last night's matter, I killed the Minister's men."

Esdeath nodded in understanding.

"Hmm, that is indeed the case, but that matter was handled beautifully. Come to the gathering later."

"Hmm."

Su Xiao sat in the conference room watching the six people walk away.

Now he could enter and leave the Imperial Palace freely, but the timing for completing the main mission was not good; the situation was not chaotic enough.

He had to stir up the water first to act. The contractors on the Empire's side and the contractors in the Night Raid unit had no movement, and all of this required caution.

Su Xiao began to plan precisely in his heart. Perhaps he needed to leave the Imperial Palace for a few days, both to stir up the water and to prepare the Teigu needed for the blueprint. If the plan went smoothly, both could be done simultaneously.

After Esdeath took the other five to see the little Emperor, they held a small party at Esdeath's house that night. Calling it a party, it was actually just a meal. The new members got to know each other. The ingredients were fish brought by Wave, and the taste was exceptionally delicious.

During this meal, Su Xiao witnessed the extent of Kurome's protectiveness over food. If she liked the food, and others dared to eat it, she would stare at them with those watery eyes.

The Jaegers unit was established today, with seven members in total. The leader was Esdeath, and the main target was the Night Raid unit.

The Jaegers unit had just been established, and Esdeath did not immediately assign tasks. Instead, she gave all members a few days off, letting the Jaegers members familiarize themselves with the Imperial Capital, which would facilitate future actions.

After the meal, Su Xiao went to the Third Dark Unit. The Three Beasts were dead, and he had become the officer here. This could be considered an unexpected joy.

Of course, the people in the Third Dark Unit were not very convinced by Su Xiao, but Su Xiao did not care at all. He only needed some information.

Around eight o'clock that night, Su Xiao came to a restaurant, ordered some food and wine, and sat down, looking like he was drinking in sorrow.

His target was the owner of the grocery store opposite. It was not to kill the other party, but to monitor.

The long monitoring began. Su Xiao keenly sensed every customer the grocery store owner came into contact with. Until closing time, the grocery store owner received a middle-aged woman.

"Madam Anqi, what do you need?"

"The salt at home is gone."

"Is that so? The shop has recently brought in some good salt..."

The two were chatting, but Su Xiao's focus was not on the conversation. The unintentional gestures between Madam Anqi and the grocery store owner were what he valued.

Five minutes later, Madam Anqi left, and Su Xiao also left the restaurant.

With Su Xiao's tracking ability, Madam Anqi, whose skills were very ordinary, could not discover him at all.

Madam Anqi was a housewife. After returning home, she cooked for her husband and son. Su Xiao observed this scene from the roof opposite.

Around one o'clock in the morning, Madam Anqi walked out of her house, looking hurried.

A smile appeared on Su Xiao's lips on the roof. His luck was good; he had only tracked four targets and chosen the right person.

Madam Anqi walked on the street, looking around from time to time. After confirming that no one was following her, Madam Anqi walked toward the outside of the Imperial Capital.

Su Xiao followed Madam Anqi from a distance. His target this time was not simple, so he had to be cautious.

Madam Anqi met a man in black in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital. The two spoke hurriedly for a few sentences before separating. The man in black ran quickly into the forest.

Su Xiao gave up tracking Madam Anqi and instead tracked the man in black.

Just like that, Su Xiao began to track patiently. The man in black met with others again, and Su Xiao changed his tracking target one by one.

It took a total of two days, and after changing nine targets, Su Xiao arrived at his destination: a huge ancient castle hidden in the deep mountains and forests.

This was very likely the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army!

Su Xiao seemed to have found the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army very simply, but in the Akame ga Kill world, in terms of tracking ability, he was definitely top-tier.

Received a notice today that the whole town will have a power outage tomorrow. I'm stunned. I have to hurry up and write tonight.
