"It seems they're all here."
In the corner, a dozen or so scantily clad and flamboyantly dressed women huddled together, trembling with fear as they stared at the two assassins before them.
Some people have lost their voices, while others have even lost control of their bladders and bowels, unable to utter a single word.
Beside them lay the corpse of the man they had once served, ' Bolic '.
Akame's eyes suddenly sharpened like an eagle's. Having just received news from Lin Feng, she pressed on and easily destroyed the hideout of the group preparing to escape through the secret passage.
As predicted by the ' Night Raid,' Bolic, the vice-leader of the Path of Peace, would certainly be unwilling to abandon his family and flee alone due to his excessive lust for women.
This cost him his only chance to escape, since Akame had received extensive training in pursuit missions and even had relevant training when she worked in the assassination squad.
When their beloved died tragically beside them, these young women had almost no loyalty left to Bolic; not one of them dared to step forward to protect their master. They seemed to be nothing more than a group of greedy and heartless people.
Even so, these girls hadn't done anything wrong, but Akame still felt that something was vaguely off.
He pushed a girl's shoulder with one hand, his Akame staring directly at her, without making any other movement.
Just that caused the girl's pupils to dilate infinitely, as if she were about to be killed in the next second, and she almost fainted.
"Hey, wake up!"
Akame said calmly.
"Has any of you escaped? What are his distinguishing features? I know him, so you'd better be honest."
"I... I..."
The girl's face was extremely gloomy, filled with fear of the assassin before her, but looking at Akame's calm face, for some reason her mood gradually calmed down.
Now that Bolic is dead, she has no need to hide anything from Akame. In the face of an assassin, self-preservation is the only common sense.
"A woman we've never seen before escaped halfway through..."
"What are the characteristics?"
"She was wrapped in bandages, her hair was tied in a bun, and two bells were tied around it..."
Thank you.
Akame stood up and left the girl's side, while the girl beside him was drenched in cold sweat and panting heavily, as if she had just walked through the gates of hell.
" Lubbock, one of them must have escaped."
"I don't think it matters. We've achieved all our goals, and we even have a benefactor to help us..."
"Indeed, three of the Four Rakshasa Demons have been confirmed dead, but this news must be reported to the boss."
Akame lowered her head and pondered for a moment.
"I've worked in the Empire, so I'm quite familiar with the four of them."
"It should be said that Suzuka, who escaped with the weakest combat ability, is actually the most troublesome. She has high physical resistance and stress tolerance, and her movements are exceptionally agile. In terms of reconnaissance and espionage, no one among the Four Rakshasa Demons is better than her."
"But since there was no direct confrontation this time, she probably won't be able to gather much intelligence about us, right?"
"That's right, but who knows what will happen in the future."
As for the girls currently in the picture, Akame believes there is no need to deal with them.
Although they witnessed themselves killing Bolic, since Honest Four Rakshasa Demons and the ' Jaegers ' to guard this area, he was certain that the ' Night Raid ' would come to assassinate Bolic.
Since that's the case, Akame felt there was no need for her to hide anything.
Inside the council chamber of the royal palace in the Imperial Capital.
"What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
Minister Honest angrily vented his frustrations to his courtiers, for news of the fall of Path of Peace had just been secretly delivered.
And this secret report came from none other than Four Rakshasa Demons Suzuka.
Upon learning of Bolic's death, Honest urgently summoned the Four Rakshasa Demons and the Jaegers back to the palace, but only five people arrived at the hall.
"I sent you Four Rakshasa Demons and Esdeath's Jaegers together this time, and you played your cards well, managing to let the enemy escape under this Iron Curtain blockade?"
Honest was furious; at this time of day in the past, he would have ordered the execution of all his men.
But with so many skilled Teigu users present, including Esdeath's favorites and General Budo's trusted subordinates, he dared not act rashly.
"' Jaegers ' troops, do you have anything to say?"
Bols, Lan, and Kurome all turned their gazes toward Wave.
They had already agreed that Wave would be in charge of guarding the western front, and that Wave would bear all the responsibility should any incidents occur.
This was also Wave's decision to take full responsibility for the military in order to fulfill his promise to Lin Feng.
"Reporting to the Minister, my ' Jaegers ' force remained stationed on the west side of the Deputy Lord Bolic's residence on Path of Peace throughout last night, and we heard virtually no disturbances, except..."
"Just what?!"
"But I encountered a man I didn't recognize along the way. I'd never seen him in the Empire before; he was probably just a local passerby. After we chased him away, our ' Night Raid ' unit didn't encounter any more problems."
"After that, we heard sounds and saw fires inside the mansion, sensing the fighting. When we arrived at Bolic's residence, we found the bodies of Sten and Bolic. We know absolutely nothing else."
"You had the nerve to say you knew nothing about the Night Raid raid that lasted so long?!"
Wave lowered his head deeply when he heard Honest's question.
Honest is absolutely right. If it had been the entire ' Jaegers's ' force that night instead of him, they certainly wouldn't have failed to detect the ' Night Raid ' intrusion, and at the very least, they could have guaranteed Bolic's personal safety.
But since all the ' Jaegers ', like himself, did not want to be associated with the ' Four Rakshasa Demons,' he had to find an excuse to absolve the team.
"Reporting to Minister Honest, we did indeed detect the movement of Night Raid Night Raid on the western foothills. They have been using heavy weapons to distract us from the west, and we have dared not leave the western side for fear of further action."
Judging from the flashes of the heavy weapons, the one distracting us on the west side should be Mine, the sniper from the ' Night Raid '.
"I see, no wonder! After all, your mission is to protect..."
Minister Honest frowned. Although he knew full well that the ' Jaegers's ' troops had not exerted their full strength, they were still Esdeath's subordinates.
Honest did not want to clash with Esdeath or make excessive demands on Esdeath's subordinates.
