Chapter 221: The Meeting
Su Xiao immediately put this blueprint away in his inventory. He finally found out what was after the blue one..
Seeing the upper limit of the purple thing's rating, Su Xiao was unpleasantly surprised.
The rating of this blueprint was 89 points. How awesome would a thing with a rating of over a hundred be? Shaking his head, Su Xiao decided not to speculate about it. It will be better if he learns the answer to this question by personal example.
The poisonous gas gradually began to escape from the room, so Su Xiao quickly went back upstairs.
After walking through the tunnel for half an hour, he returned to the intersection.
After a moment's hesitation, he walked back.
He definitely wouldn't be able to catch up to Akame now, and he had been poisoned by that poison gas just a short time ago. His current condition wasn't very good, and he didn't feel well. If someone ambushes you at the end of the tunnel, the battle will be very difficult.
If it was Su Xiao who was in Akame's shoes, he would definitely destroy the exit of the tunnel just in case he wasn't tracked down by his enemies.
Su Xiao soon returned to the room in the red light district and immediately heard noisy footsteps and conversations.
— Quickly, immediately surround this entire building.
— My Lord, all the surrounding streets and buildings have been closed off.
Ignoring the noise and voices, he made his way out of the tunnel.
Su Xiao's sudden appearance sent the soldiers into shock, and they all raised their weapons.
These people were not guards of the capital, but elite soldiers.
— Master Byakuya, are you all right? The captain asked. Su Xiao nodded when he saw the man's face.
He was Esdes's subordinate.
— General Esdes will be arriving soon, but what about the man from the Night Club?...
— She ran away, there was a fork in the tunnel.
There were a lot of footsteps outside the door, and soon Esdes entered the room with a group of soldiers.
— How many did you kill?" Esdes asked.
— One and three were seriously injured, " Su Xiao turned cold and expressionless again.
— Oh? Everyone else escaped? They sent out all their forces?
— I do not know, I only saw six people.
Esdeath nodded and appreciated the result-fighting alone against six and eventually killing one and seriously injuring three...
— Thank you for your hard work, I'll take care of further matters, you took Teiga away?
— They were taken away by a member of the Night Raid named Akame.
Teigu, of course, took the Night Raid with him. He wasn't going to give such good things to the empire.
Today, the situation in the imperial capital could only be described as 'chaotic', but Su Xiao calmly returned to Esdes Mansion.
It was one of the rewards from the emperor. The environment in this place was excellent, but Esdes usually lived in a military camp and rarely visited this place.
There were many maids in the mansion, and two of them immediately greeted Su Xiao when he first entered the mansion grounds.
Su Xiao first ate a sumptuous midnight snack, then went to the bath prepared for him.
As soon as he was submerged in the water, new clothes were already brought to him.
As a member of the assassin squad, he certainly couldn't wear the empire's military uniform. The Empire's iron-gray army uniform didn't suit his status.
The third group of assassins had their own unique uniform — a black long windbreaker.
After refreshing himself in the bath, Su Xiao laid down on the large bed that could accommodate at least five people.
He hesitated in bed for a while and couldn't decide if he should open the Bulat treasure chest without using the Goddess of Fortune's lighter, and finally decided not to open chests starting with blue quality from now on without using the lighter's skill.
Since he had something to do tomorrow morning, Su Xiao quickly fell asleep.
----
Two o'clock in the morning, Night Raid headquarters, in the suburbs of the imperial capital, conference hall.
There were seven people in the room, and all of them were the main participants in the Night Raid.
Night Raid Leader: Najenda.
Newbie: Tatsumi.
Teigu Holder: Akame.
Teigu Holder: Main.
Teigu Holder: Leone.
Teigu Holder: Lubbock.
And pretty Shelly.
Shelly was a seemingly naive girl with glasses and long purple hair, but her Teigu was called "Ecstasy", it was a Teigu in the shape of huge scissors.
These scissors were at least one meter long and were extremely sharp. They could cut through literally anything in the world.
By this time, Shelly should have been long dead, but because of the influence of the contractors, she was still alive.
There were seven people in the room. Three of them were seriously injured, and just earlier, they had lost one of the strongest members of the Night Raid.
The losses from this operation were too huge.
The atmosphere in the room was very depressing. Seven people stood with their heads bowed in silence. Tears were visible on Tatsumi's face. Bulat always tried to take care of Tatsumi and managed to become his brother.
— Tatsumi, I understand how you feel, but this is our destiny. We are murderers, and death is always at our side, " Leone said softly with a pale face.
— Tatsumi pressed his hand to his face and blew his nose. "I have to avenge my brother," Tatsumi's fists clenched. He hated himself at that moment. When that man charged at him with his sword, he was terrified. If Bulat hadn't protected him, he would have died.
— Najenda spat out blue smoke and decided to summarize.
*Knock, knock, knock...*
Najenda tapped lightly on the table to get the others ' attention. — I will summarize today's events. According to the information received from our informant, the person you met today is named Byakuya, a member of the third assassin squad, a subordinate of Esdes. He was previously a member of another organization and was an assassin, but Esdeath met him during a campaign to the north and made him her man. Although he wasn't around Esdes today, due to his strength and loyal nature, Esdes trusts him, which is why he is now one of her personal bodyguards.
— Of course, I find it funny to say that Esdes has a new bodyguard, but as for Byakuya's strength, he really deserves to be her bodyguard. Tell me about what you saw in person. Najenda finished, flicking off her ashes.
Although the Night Raid had suffered heavy losses this time, this woman was very calm.
Leone took a deep breath. — I fought this man for about five minutes. In those five minutes, it hit my body about a hundred times. Each of his attacks sliced through my flesh with ease. If it wasn't for the power of my Teigu, I would have died. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to survive more than three of his attacks! I also noticed something important. If he finds you and starts chasing you, don't run away to a place where there are no people. No matter how you run away, you won't be able to get rid of it. Forest... swamp... Saying that, Leone shivered and touched her scars.
— There's something else. This person's sword is most likely imbued with a strange poison that is similar to electricity. This poison is similar to the curse of Murasame Akame, but the curse of Murasame kills a person, and its "electricity" only brings very strong pain, which makes you want to kill yourself quickly, just not to feel it, " Leone, who was always brave, trembled when she finished speaking.
