Shira: I'm Bringing Dad Along to Wreak Havoc! (7K)

News of the death of the guard captain Ogre, spread quickly.

Seryu Ubiquitous cried very sadly, but after learning what Ogre had done, she cried even more sadly!

She never imagined that her most respected mentor, Captain Ogre, had done so many bad things behind her back!

The Night Raid headquarters was equally grief-stricken.

A heavy silence filled the meeting room.

"Boss, is it true? Bulat... he's really missing?"

No one could believe it.

Bulat vanished overnight, along with his Imperial Arm!

But Najenda nodded and said:

"That's right, news of Ogre's death has spread throughout the Imperial Capital, but Bulat's whereabouts are still unknown."

Suddenly, Najenda thought of a possibility and immediately looked up at the equally sorrowful purple-clad girl, asking, "Sheele, did Yotsuba Mahiro do anything last night?"

"No."

Sheele shook his head and said, "Yotsuba Clan stayed in the mansion all night and didn't go out."

"..."

If it wasn't that person, who else could have done such a thing?

Najenda remained silent.

But after a moment, he sighed and said helplessly:

"... I will report this matter to the Revolutionary Army headquarters, but if we continue the operation, we will not have enough manpower. I will ask the headquarters to send some support."

Although she was heartbroken, Najenda had no time to grieve.

As an assassin, such an ending was inevitable. She could only carry on with the will of her predecessors until she finally reached that hopeful shore!

Chapter 158 Syura: I'm Leading My Dad in a Rampage of Carnage! (7K)

"Is this Tyrant's blood? It's absolutely beautiful!"

Inside the research institute, Dr. Fashion looked at the small vial of bright red blood that Yotsuba Mahiro had brought, holding it in his hands as if it were a rare treasure, his eyes shining brightly!

Even her breasts were shaking uncontrollably.

I'm so excited!

This was the first time in her life she had ever seen the blood of a super-dangerous species!

Just holding it in your hands, you can almost feel its boundless power through the bottle!

"Minister Yotsuba Clan, where exactly did you get this from?!"

"Never mind where you got it from, just tell me, can you incorporate the evolutionary properties of this thing into the enhancement potion?"

Where else could this bottle of blood have come from? It must have been extracted from the intelligence entity Incursio.

Possessed by Incursio is a Noble Phantasm created from Tyrant's infant form.

Honestly, if the juvenile form is this monstrous, I can't even imagine what the adult form would be like—probably on par with Cloud Giant Dragon?

"Of course! It's absolutely wonderful!"

Dr. Fashion exclaimed excitedly, "However, Yotsuba Clan, if it's mixed with the potion, there's a risk of it turning into a beast. Tyrant's genes are extremely corrosive!"

"It's alright, as long as you can make it, I'll take care of the side effects myself. But there's only one requirement: I need this medicine to repair the lost organs."

He found that Sumire Muroto was right.

Since I possess the ability to "reorganize and Regrowth," I can simply overwrite the intelligence network if any problems arise...

But this always caused him a sense of unease.

If I continue to hold these thoughts, perhaps one day I will lose all reverence for life and become completely indifferent?

Watching the mad scientist's busy figure, Mahiro chose to stop thinking about it and turned to leave the research institute.

After all, today is the day to attend court and pay homage to the young emperor.

Inside the main hall of the imperial palace.

All the civil and military officials had already gathered, and the young emperor sat upright on the throne.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Nakajid and Hermi have joined forces with the rebels after their rebellion!"

"What?! The valiant and skilled General Nakajid actually..."

"The rebel army is forming a terrifying force..."

"If we don't implement appropriate measures, the empire will..."

Upon hearing that another general had rebelled, the officials all showed expressions of fear and, disregarding the young emperor's attitude, began to discuss the matter amongst themselves, creating chaos.

How many generals have rebelled already?

First it was General Najenda, then there were scattered military rebellions, and now Nakajid and General Hermi's turn...

If this continues, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable!

"No need to panic!"

Suddenly, the young emperor rose from his throne, waved his hand, and declared in a resounding voice:

"They're just forces from the south; we can deal with them at any time. If the rebels dare to gather, we'll annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

The young emperor's authoritative voice echoed throughout the palace hall.

Her words were like a shot in the arm for everyone.

As time passed, this once young emperor grew up and possessed the majesty of an empress.

"Your Majesty is right. We still have General Budo and General Esdeath. With them both around, the Imperial Capital is safe and the empire is safe!"

"That's right, not only that, we also have Secret Police and Minister Yotsuba Mahiro!"

"Yes, yes, if the rebels dare to show their faces, they will surely die!"

In an instant, the tone in the main hall was reversed.

It may seem like blindly following the young emperor's will, but it is actually not without reason.

After all, both generals are indeed formidable figures who can hold off ten thousand men single-handedly, and Esdeath, in particular, may even have surpassed General Budo in strength.

He single-handedly annihilated the alien army; it was truly terrifying.

"Hahaha, as expected of His Majesty, you are indeed calm and composed."

A rough voice suddenly echoed in the court, followed by a stout figure appearing in everyone's sight, swaggering forward while chewing on a strip of meat.

"Oh, Minister, you're late today."

Upon seeing Honest's arrival, the young emperor immediately composed himself, returned to his throne, smiled slightly at Honest, and then took out a magic spell from his robes and began to play with it.

He appeared to have no interest in governing the country.

"There's nothing I can do, Your Majesty. This old minister was just swamped with official duties and only just managed to resolve them."

Honest spoke in an extremely perfunctory tone, as if he didn't care at all.

However, the next second, Honest immediately abandoned his casual and lazy demeanor, his expression turning serious and fierce.

"However, Your Majesty is right. Mere rebels are nothing to fear. The thieves who are right here are a much bigger problem!"

Those damned rats not only assassinated the Imperial Guard's best captain, Captain Ogre, but also killed the law-abiding merchant Jamal. Most importantly, those damned bastards didn't even spare my relative, Iokar!

"As the head of the security and Assassination Department, Yotsuba Clan, do you have nothing to explain regarding the 'Night Raid's' wanton actions?!"

Honest suddenly turned on Yotsuba Mahiro, who had been silent all along, and angrily tore into the steak in his hand.

"Explanation? What do I need to explain?"

Mahiro smiled, slowly stepped forward, and said, "Night Raid did indeed kill someone, and I have issued a warrant for their arrest. Besides, don't you have any idea what those three did? What does it have to do with what you described? You fat pig."

"If it weren't for the swift Night Raid, I would have already taken care of those three."

Upon hearing this, the officials in the court gasped in shock, publicly refuting the minister and even insulting him as a fat pig!

While it's quite apt, isn't it a bit too audacious and reckless?

Honest's face darkened upon hearing his words, and he gritted his teeth.

But before he could speak, Yotsuba Mahiro's voice came again, softly and faintly.

"Oh, and by the way, His Majesty hasn't even questioned me about these matters. Who do you think you are, to question me like this? Don't you know your own limitations, you fat pig? If you want the heads of those who participated in the Night Raid so badly, then go and grab them yourself! All you do all day is eat, you piece of trash, stop babbling on and on."

"You bastard, how dare you insult me?!" Honest was instantly enraged, his eyes blazing as he stared down at Yotsuba Mahiro.

"What, so what if I scold you? You're not happy about it? Come down here and let's have a go! Or I can go up here myself. Don't think that just because His Majesty is protecting you, I won't dare to deal with you, you fat pig!"

Mahiro angrier and angrier, and eventually strode forward, intending to have a palace showdown with Honest in a Mortal Kombat match.

"Ahem, my two esteemed subjects, please cease your jest."

The young emperor, seated on his throne, coughed twice.

"Both of you are pillars of the empire, why get so worked up over such a petty thief? Minister, you certainly have no right to interfere in matters concerning the secret security department. That is a department directly under my command, and you cannot overstep your authority."

And Minister Yotsuba Clan, you should also keep your mouth shut. You can't just make personal attacks. Even though the minister is indeed very fat, and may have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, you can't call him a fat pig."

Although the young emperor intended to act as a peacemaker and mediate between the two, his words were somewhat biased towards Yotsuba Mahiro.

The last few sentences, in particular, were like stabbing Honest in the chest again!

Honest was so angry he almost vomited blood on the spot!

But he had to swallow his anger and reply with a friendly smile:

"Hehe. Your Majesty, this old minister is in good health and does not suffer from any of the ailments you mentioned."

"Is that so? Then you must take good care of yourself, Minister. Eat less each day and lose some weight. After all, the Empire and I still need your support. As for your relative Iokar, I am also very saddened, but don't you still have a son who is not dead? Don't worry."

The young emperor's words were sincere, and his expression was innocent, which made it even harder for Honest to vent his anger, which he could only channel into his appetite.

While tearing at the meat patty, he respectfully replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This old minister will remember it."

"So, my esteemed ministers, what are your strategies for dealing with this group of rebels known as 'Night Raid' who are lurking in the Imperial Capital?"

When the young emperor asked him a question, all the officials in the court looked at each other in bewilderment.

General Budo also stood to the side, resting with his eyes closed.

"Minister Yotsuba Clan, I don't know you..."

"Wait a moment, Your Majesty, this old minister has a brilliant plan!"

Just as the young emperor was about to ask Yotsuba Mahiro's opinion, Honest suddenly interrupted, "I think it would be better to recall Esdeath. I've heard that the suppression of the northern barbarians is almost over, and I believe General Esdeath would be very happy to take over this task upon her return."

"General Esdeath... that's a good choice, but wouldn't letting her get involved conflict with Minister Yotsuba Clan's duties?"

"No, no, quite the opposite, Your Majesty. We can have General Esdeath establish a new department specifically responsible for pursuing Night Raid. This way, it will not only avoid conflicting with Minister Yotsuba Clan's duties but will also help alleviate the pressure on Minister Yotsuba Clan. Moreover, I can have my son Syura, return to form an auxiliary force to assist General Esdeath."

Honest spoke with great emotion, appearing as if he were there to relieve the emperor's worries.

However, whether it was Yotsuba Mahiro, the young emperor, or even General Budo, they all saw through this fat pig's intentions.

However, what the other party said was reasonable and well-founded, and the young emperor simply couldn't refuse.

In the end, he could only look to the Yotsuba Clan for help, wanting to hear her thoughts.

I have no objection.

Yotsuba Mahiro suddenly spoke up, "Since this fat pig... oh no, Minister Honest is so interested in 'Night Raid,' let him handle it."

"All right."

Although she didn't know what this big brother Yotsuba Clan wanted to do, she still nodded in agreement and said:

"Then issue my decree to immediately recall General Esdeath and order the pursuit of the 'Night Raid,' to be jointly managed by General Esdeath and Minister Honest!"

And so, in the court today, Honest was given the rare privilege of having his words spoken in court.

Little did he know, this was the moment Yotsuba Mahiro for.
