Chapter 224: Goals
— I met the members of the Night Raid yesterday at noon, and we fought. In the process, I put my sword through your sister's heart, but she didn't die, that's all.
Kurome nodded and continued eating the cookies.
— You're strong to be able to fight my sister, " while Kurome was saying this, two people entered the room.
Ran, a man with a warm aura and fair hair. Previously, he was a school teacher, but was able to eventually get a Teigu called "Mastema", it was a Teigu in the form of wings that allowed him to fly and shoot feathers.
The other person was Dr. Stilish, a fashion enthusiast and scientist with homosexual tendencies all rolled into one. His Teigu was called "Perfector" and this Teigu was shaped like a glove that allowed its wearer to create incredible things with their fingers and palms.
Dr. Stilish was good at doing scientific research, but he wasn't very good at fighting. Because of his overconfidence in the original plot, he went out to fight against all the participants in the Night Raid and eventually died.
There were six seats in the room and just six people were gathered.
Su Xiao, Wei Wei, Kurome, Balls, Dr. Stilish, and Ran took the empty chairs.
The deaths of the three beasts had hit Esdes ' assassin squad hard, so she decided to eventually form a new unit mainly to fight the Night Raid.
After everyone had taken their seats, Balls got up and left the room. After a while, to everyone's surprise, he brought out cups of tea.
Only now did Balls show his true character — the first thing he did was apologize to everyone and start handing out tea.
After placing a cup of tea in front of Su Xiao, he asked to be taken care of, to which Su Xiao nodded.
After that, he noticed Esdeath's presence outside the doors.
*Boom!*
The doors swung open roughly, and Esdeath entered, wearing a mask. — What are you doing here?" Esdes snarled, and five of the six men stood up.
Su Xiao yawned. This was an Esdes challenge for beginners.
— We were asked to gather here... Wave stepped forward first.
*Boom!*
Esdeath lifted her foot and kicked Wave, and he immediately flew back and rolled a couple of times. Bols immediately rushed forward after seeing this.
But Teigu Balls wasn't on hand, so of course he was also knocked down.
The other three froze, and Ran looked the calmest, for he was clearly beginning to guess something.
Dr. Stilish and Kurome quickly realized that it was Esdes, as they were both serving in the military near the imperial capital.
They didn't want to fight Esdeath, but that didn't mean Esdeath wanted to let them go.
Esdes wasn't holding a weapon or using her Teigu, but in less than a minute, the doctor and her former teacher were on the ground, and only Kurome was left standing.
— Are you just going to sit there?" Kurome looked at Su Xiao.
— You have to do everything yourself... But Su Xiao didn't have time to finish, as Esdes attacked him with her foot.
Su Xiao grabbed the dragon flash from the table and retreated.
— Heh~, neglect is a bad feature, " Esdes said and immediately rushed towards Su Xiao, but she didn't hold a weapon in her hands and didn't use her Teigu's abilities.
Su Xiao raised his sword, which was still in its scabbard, and Esdes suddenly stopped.
— You're too serious, and it gives me a headache. The flaws in your character will be difficult to correct.
Esdeath walked slowly forward. She knew that if Su Xiao pulled out the sword, she wouldn't be able to achieve anything good, and because of that, she was angry. She certainly wanted him to get serious, but he took it too seriously and immediately grabbed his sword.
Looking around, Esdeath realized that this was the end of the test. Her new subordinates weren't too weak without their Teigu.
Esdes took off her mask and looked at the few people in the conference room with a smile. — You did well.
Several people in the room were taken aback when they saw Esdes.
— General Esdes!
After hearing this girl's title and name, Wave, who was lying on the floor, almost passed out. Even their boss wasn't normal!
— Change into your official clothes, I'll take you to the emperor, and then we'll have a party, " Esdes said, and threw away her mask.
— General, I might not be able to see the emperor, " Su Xiao said, and Esdes looked at Su Xiao doubtfully.
— I killed a man last night..
Esdeath nodded. — But you did a good job, come to the party.
— Well.
Su Xiao remained seated in the conference room while the six people left for the corridor.
He could now freely enter the palace, but the timing of the main mission wasn't right, and the situation wasn't chaotic enough.
It was necessary to add enough chaos to start the action.
Su Xiao began to plan everything carefully in his mind. He might have to leave the palace for a few days and wreak havoc on the empire, as well as find the last Teigu for the blueprint.
If everything went right, he could kill two birds with one stone.
After Esdes and her new subordinates went to see the emperor, she held a small party in her mansion that evening.
In fact, it was more like an interest group, where people who didn't know each other quickly got close to each other.
The fish that Wave brought was very tasty.
During this party, Su Xiao saw how strong Kuromyo's trait was. If she liked some food and other people wanted to take it away from her, she would start looking at them with her watery eyes.
That's how the "Jaegers" group was created. There were seven people in total and the leader of the group was Esdes.
Their main goal was to destroy the Night Raid.
Esdes didn't immediately load everyone with tasks. Instead, she gave everyone a few days off so that everyone could get to know the imperial capital and get to know each other better.
After dinner, Su Xiao went to the headquarters of the third Assassin division. Since the three beasts died, he was made the head of the third division.
Of course, many people from the third division didn't report to Su Xiao, but Su Xiao didn't care, as he only needed some information.
----
Around eight o'clock that evening, Su Xiao came to the restaurant. Sitting down at an empty seat, he ordered some food and wine, then started drinking.
His target was the owner of the grocery store across the street, but he wasn't supposed to kill him, just keep an eye on him.
Su Xiao carefully examined every guest the owner interacted with, and right before closing time, a middle-aged woman came to see him.
— Miss Anki, what do you need?
— I'm out of salt at home.
— Oh, I have some fresh, good salt left over...
The two were chatting about nothing, but Su Xiao didn't follow their conversations at all. He carefully observed their gestures and movements.
Five minutes later, Miss left, and Su Xiao also left the restaurant.
Su Xiao began to chase after her cautiously, and even though this miss often looked around, she still couldn't detect him.
This Miss Anki looked like an ordinary housewife. After returning home, she started cooking for her husband and son.
Su Xiao watched the scene from the roof of a nearby house.
At about one o'clock in the morning, Miss Anki came out of her house.
Su Xiao smiled. He was lucky — he found the right person.
Miss Anki looked around from time to time, and after making sure once again that no one was following her, she went outside the imperial capital.
Soon, she approached the man in black and started talking about something, and a minute later, he immediately ran off into the forest.
Su Xiao stopped following her and started chasing after the man in black.
Soon, he met up with another person and passed something to him, so Su Xiao changed his target and started chasing after him.
As a result, it took him two days to track them, and in the process, he saw nine people..
Eventually, Su Xiao arrived at his destination — a huge old castle hidden in an old forest deep in the mountains.
It was most likely one of the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army!
