"Um!"
" Chelsea, I'll agree to let you join my team. Please take care of me from now on. But—"
"But what!"
Chelsea was thrilled to hear that she had received Lin Feng's approval and was eager to hear the terms Lin Feng would offer.
"But could you teach my companion, Sheele, how to cook? She's been improving, but there's still a lot of room for improvement..."
"..."
Chelsea thought she was about to hear some incredible news, but it turned out to be nothing special.
"Leave it to me! I'll take care of all the housekeeping affairs in your household, Lin Feng. Please rest assured and leave them to me!"
"You're being so proactive, I'm very skeptical of your motives."
"Is that so? Then I'd better be a little hasty and frivolous."
"You..."
What a difficult girl, Lin Feng thought to himself.
However, this girl's Teigu ability is so powerful that it might really bring Lin Feng a lot of convenience.
" Lin Feng, have you ever heard of the organization ' Night Raid '?"
"I'm the former captain of the District Thirteen Imperial Guard, and I know ' Night Raid ' like the back of my hand."
"Actually, before I came to join you, I wanted to join ' Night Raid '?"
"Join ' Night Raid '? Then I can arrest you right now."
"It's not that I'm afraid, that's why I came to you for help~"
"If you're hesitant, I can encourage you more; after all, your abilities are well-suited for developing your career there."
"Ever since I heard the news that you killed Nyau, I've been determined to come to your side. Although Najenda has invited me many times, my mind is made up."
' Najenda...'
Clearly, Chelsea was frantically revealing information she knew to Lin Feng Lin Feng in order to gain his trust.
However, Lin Feng wasn't too concerned about the Night Raid, nor was he the kind of ruthless leader who would claim to trust someone but secretly harbor suspicions.
Lin Feng has decided to trust Chelsea, so he will definitely trust her.
" Lin Feng, who is this girl?"
In the room on the second floor, Sheele, rubbing her sleepy eyes and wearing a thick cotton nightgown, asked Lin Feng.
From afar, she saw a pretty girl chatting casually with Lin Feng, but Lin Feng didn't seem to be having much fun with her, which made Sheele feel inexplicably at ease.
"Her? She's the housekeeper I hired. The yard is too big; I don't want you Sheele, to manage it all by yourself."
"Hey! But..."
Chelsea looked at Sheele on the second floor, observed her face briefly, and then broke into a big smile.
"You must be Lin Feng's wife! You're so beautiful!"
"Husband, husband, husband... Madam!!! I am Lin Feng's wife..."
Sheele, on the second floor, was practically swaying precariously, as if she were in a dreamlike fairyland, and upon hearing these words, she seemed unwilling to wake up.
Sheele then pinched her arm hard; the pain made her realize she was awake, but the experience had been too dreamlike.
Seeing Sheele's textbook-perfect movement, Chelsea chuckled softly, then said—
Lin Feng said that Miss Sheele is passionate about studying cooking, so it would be perfect if I could help Sheele practice your skills.
"Does Lin Feng think my cooking is bad? Is that true?"
"Hmph, it's not that Miss Sheele's cooking is bad, it's that my Chelsea is just too delicious! An ancient Eastern proverb says, 'Among three people walking together, there must be one I can learn from; when you see someone virtuous, think of emulating them.' If Miss Sheele learns even a trick or two from me, I guarantee she'll conquer Lin Feng Feng's taste buds!"
Lin Feng watched Chelsea's nonsensical face from the sidelines. She had managed to defuse the tense situation and reconcile Sheele's relationship in such a short time. This girl was really capable.
"Really? Can I really win him over with my stomach?"
"Of course! I, Chelsea, was once apprenticed to Barbara Oberg, a five-star chef from the Assassin's Guild... oh no! I mean, the Chef's Guild! He's a powerhouse in the Chef's Guild! If you learn cooking from me, you too will be a legitimate successor to the Imperial Capital Capital's royal culinary tradition!"
In just a few words, Chelsea had left Sheele completely bewildered, leaving Lin Feng with no choice but to offer a wry smile.
Now, this seemingly unmanageable lieutenant general's courtyard has someone to help take care of it. Also, if Sheele has any accidents when he goes out, Chelsea can meet him. All of this is good for Lin Feng.
After ending his conversation with Chelsea, Lin Feng focused his consciousness into his Template System.
[ Alucard Template System ]
[Host: Lin Feng ]
[Experience Points: 34.59]
[Skill Points: 3]
Having previously fought the Three Beasts and accumulated a wealth of points, he unexpectedly gained quite a bit from his subsequent battle against Esdeath.
Next, Lin Feng will have many miscellaneous tasks to handle as a lieutenant general, and he won't be able to engage in combat as usual. If he were to engage in combat...
One must have connections within the empire.
Inside the ' Night Raid ' command center.
Najenda's expression was somewhat complicated. She looked at everyone in front of her, and everyone's expression was basically the same as hers, with something stuck in their throats, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Overall, this operation was a success."
When Najenda uttered the word "success," her brow furrowed noticeably.
"But I never expected Bulat to be so badly injured. Based on the Dragon Transformation caused by the Demon Incursion, he should be unable to fight anymore. Bulat will be permanently removed from my mission schedule."
Upon receiving this news, the team members were left wondering what to think.
To prevent a soldier from fighting for the organization is more cruel than to execute him outright.
"Even so, Bulat still has his future value. He will mentor Tatsumi, as the new master of the Demon Incursion, training him rigorously day after day, making him a new force in our Night Raid!"
Although Najenda's impassioned speech boosted morale, it's like athletes who retire and become coaches; their enthusiasm will gradually fade in the days to come.
"It's all Lubbock's fault! If it weren't for him, Bulat wouldn't have been so badly injured protecting him!"
Mine couldn't control her emotions and vented her anger on Lubbock.
Lubbock, already filled with remorse, felt even more uneasy upon hearing these words, his body went weak, and he wished he could die in front of the Three Beasts.
"Don't say that. We didn't expect the Three Beasts to possess such Teigu either. After all, when the information was provided, we were only unfamiliar with this aspect."
