The Traitor

"Snow! You actually betrayed the Empire!"

The Minister of Hidden Cloud's Anbu, who had long harbored feelings for this Shrine Maiden as well, stared with utter disbelief in his eyes.

Everyone else was equally horrified.

By all rights, she should have been the one most loyal to the Empire!

"So what if I betrayed the Empire? Isn't that perfectly normal?"

Snow said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

Shisui still had one Kotoamatsukami left unused, so it would have been a waste not to use it. After Cao Kun had compromised, Xu Yue looked back and found that Snow was the most suitable target.

Moreover, for the sake of future arrangements, Xu Yue had first approached her and expressed his intention to persuade her to withdraw. He had her sign an unimportant confidentiality agreement, with the price he paid being that he would not kill her in this Mission Space.

Thinking she had gotten a bargain, she naturally signed without hesitation.

Then Kotoamatsukami was served up for her.

That way, even if someone from Japan later noticed that something was wrong with her state, there would be no need to worry about her saying anything reckless...

The Sino-Japanese Alliance was on the verge of collapse after seeing even the Shrine Maiden betray them.

All this time, they had remained calm and confident mainly because the intelligence gains had been enough to offset their losses!

But now, after paying such a huge price and getting wiped out here, they could not bring back even a single scrap of intelligence?!

How was that possible!

How could they accept that!

How had he done it?!

Every single intelligence operative they had prepared to send back had fallen into his hands!

Fake. It was all fake!

"Illusion Technique! This must all be an Illusion Technique!
