"Alas! It was all because General Esdeath was simply too outstanding."

The day after Nadjeshda left, Chen Fan arrived in the Imperial Capital during the day. Many of their people had already exposed their appearances; the only ones who had not revealed themselves as members of Night Raid were Chen Fan, Leone, and Lubbock. This left Mine, who was quite fond of shopping, feeling extremely unwilling.
The Imperial Capital was still packed with bustling crowds. Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the same topic, but Chen Fan did not know any of them and did not stop to listen.
Instead, he went to a bookstore that rented out books. This was one of Night Raid's small strongholds within the Imperial Capital. It usually served as a cover for Night Raid members and a place to gather other information, allowing them to maintain some contact with the other squads in the Imperial Capital.
Lubbock was the owner of this little shop. When Chen Fan arrived, he saw Lubbock waiting for him at the entrance. Seeing Chen Fan approach, Lubbock smiled and greeted him.
Then he led Chen Fan underground. Below was a spacious area, like a small base.
Just as Chen Fan entered, someone suddenly pounced on him from behind and wrapped him in an embrace, gently licking his ear with her tongue. Chen Fan naturally knew who it was. No one but Leone possessed that uniquely full, soft feeling against his back.
"Then... let's do it!" Leone whispered into Chen Fan's ear, blowing softly on it.
Lubbock's dissatisfied voice rang out. "Hey! This place wasn't built as a love nest for you two. If you want to show off your affection, go somewhere else!"
"See? You got scolded,"
