Chapter 245: I used to ... believe you
— It turns out that you can smile. I always thought that a smile would never appear on your face, " Esdeath quickly calmed down. "I used to... believe you," Esdes whispered.
— Su Xiao's voice was gentle, and they looked into each other's eyes.
— Since we don't follow the same path, either you die or I die, "Esdes' tone was cold. Cold air began to spread out from her body, and ice gradually began to form on the floor under her feet.
Su Xiao held the fishing line with one hand, and with the other hand, he grabbed the floating key and immediately saw the notification from Paradise.

After confirming the execution, the key broke apart in Su Xiao's hands, and the scene stunned everyone present.
— How are you... you bastard! There was an angry roar, and the fat minister ran out of the crowd.
The Revolutionary army had surrounded the capital, and this supreme Teigu was the last card in the minister's hands.
— Esdes, didn't you say there wouldn't be any problems? What's going on?! The minister's emotions were out of control, and he even dared to yell at Esdes.
— Esdes looked at the minister coldly, and his body trembled. He suddenly remembered how many people this female general had killed.
The minister whispered — " What do we do now?" We will all die without the High Teigu.
— At worst, we will simply die at the hands of the revolutionary army. "You're too afraid of death, Minister," Esdes said. She didn't see death as something very bad.
— What? Can't you push the revolutionary army back?
— You don't understand anything at all? An army of almost two million surrounded the capital. Even if you can escape from the capital, you still won't survive.
The Minister's face gradually began to turn pale. He didn't want to die, but he also didn't want to lose the empire. He hadn't worked all this time to lose everything in an instant.
— It's all because of you, you bastard, I'll kill you, " the minister pointed a finger at Su Xiao.
— Oh? Really? Su Xiao's eyes spoke volumes.
— You... The minister's face reddened, and he took two steps forward.
— If he wants to kill you, he'll kill you, so you'd better hide, pig, " Esdes said suddenly.
The minister stopped and looked at Su Xiao with fear.
After looking around and seeing that the empire's strongest general and hundreds of good soldiers were standing by his side, the minister heaved a sigh of relief.
— Minister, it's good that you're fine, think of some way to save me quickly, he's holding me hostage, " the emperor said and looked at the minister happily.
— Your Majesty? The minister looked at the emperor with a faint smile on his face.
— I was worried about - " The emperor was interrupted by the minister before he could finish. - Garbage.
— The Emperor looked at the minister in surprise.
— Why are you even needed? Now the supreme Teigu can't be activated, and why did I even spend so much secret medicine on you, " the minister said in a tone that was filled with disdain.
— The emperor didn't understand.
Was this the same minister who had taken such good care of him all along?
— Your Majesty, you are useless now, so die with this bastard, " the minister's words made the emperor despair, and his face turned as pale as paper.
— Minister... did you use me? This must be a joke, right? The emperor said with a silly expression, but the minister didn't even look at him.
The Revolutionary Army would break through the defenses sooner or later, but the High Teigu couldn't be activated now.
This meant that the emperor was useless, and the minister needed to escape.
— General Esdes, after we kill this bastard, let's try to leave the capital. The time of our rule has temporarily come to an end, " the minister said and sighed. The key to the high Teigu was broken, so he had no other choice.
— If you want to leave, then leave, I'll stay and fight the revolutionary army to the death, " Esdes didn't deny that the two of them ruled the empire together. It was true. The Minister managed the internal affairs of the empire, while Esdes handled riots and other similar matters.
Sometimes the two of them would discuss important matters together.
— You... — the emperor finally realized that he had been used all along, and saw that his most respected minister and general were the true rulers of this empire.
— Someone kill them both! The emperor shouted, but the hundreds of soldiers around him didn't move.
— Kill us? I am the true emperor, and I have taken care of you since you were a child, hahaha, " the minister looked at the emperor and didn't even know if he should cry or laugh.
He actually decided to give an order to his men...
— Kill them both.
— Yes, my lord.
Unlike the emperor's order, some of the soldiers immediately responded to the minister's order.
The other part didn't say anything due to the fact that they were Esdes ' subordinates.
Su Xiao didn't care what the minister and the emperor said. He calmly read the notifications from Paradise.

A mission was issued, for which the Hunter will be able to return to Paradise.]

Su Xiao didn't know the reason why Rai had ordered him to set up the necessary coordinates. In addition to the fact that he needed to place the coordinate acquisition sensor in a specific location, the right place to install it was not in the imperial capital, but outside of it.
Right now, Su Xiao only had one way out, and that was to cut his way out through Esdes, Wave, and the tens of thousands of soldiers that were stationed in the capital.
He was at a dead end, and today he was taught a good lesson.
Su Xiao swore that in the future, he would pay attention to even the smallest details, as long as he existed in this " future».
What a joke — he just needed to wash his hands thoroughly after only touching a woman's body once.
— Su Xiao suddenly laughed. He had been very careful all this time, but he was exposed because of Kurome's smell.
— Why are you laughing? For some reason, Esdeath's face broke into a smile.
— I deceived you, the minister, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but I was exposed by Wave's nose, this... but Su Xiao didn't regret anything. These were the rules of any world. In addition to white, there was also black in every world.
— Let's fight, if you win, you'll live, Esdes.
— I finally understand why I trusted you. We're the same type of person, " Esdes said, looking very worried.
