"Alright, that's all for today. Everyone, you may leave now!"
After dealing with Syura's matter, Lord Honest simply announced a few important matters of state and then dismissed everyone, an action that clearly angered Syura.
"Dad, what are you doing? Didn't you say you were going to focus on introducing some of my subordinates today?"
"You're already in this state, and you still have the mind to care about your subordinates? Do you think the ministers in the court would care about a useless subordinate like you?"
"..."
After being reprimanded by Lin Feng, Syura was also scolded by her own father, leaving her feeling quite bitter.
"You're too ashamed to introduce your subordinates to everyone now. Just let them participate in the operation. Don't interfere with the ' Night Raid ' anymore; I'll handle that myself!"
"This..."
Although Syura appeared reluctant on the surface, Minister Honest's words were exactly what he wanted to hear.
Syura was a playboy who spent his days traveling and having fun. He didn't need any missions at all; all he needed to do was indulge in playing with women and slaughtering and torturing civilians for his amusement.
Minister Honest also had his own plans.
' Lin Feng... since you're so enthusiastic, why don't you do me a favor? Hehehe...'
After leaving the court, Syura returned to her room.
Although it was a private room for the son of a minister, which should have been on par with that of a lieutenant general in the Imperial Capital palace, its luxury and grandeur far surpassed even the main hall of the palace.
The pillars were carved from red jade, the floor was made of Western jade, and the walls seemed to be inlaid with gold and diamonds, sparkling brightly.
The water features are complemented by foliage designed by the top gardeners of the Southern Islands, and even the refraction of light and shadow adds a variety of colors to the room.
The light reflected off the colorful jade, creating a dazzling spectrum that made the small room look like heaven.
Inside the elegant and refined private room, five people knelt before Syura, attentively awaiting Syura commands.
Izou, a swordsman from the Ryūbon Kingdom who resembles a ronin; Dotya, who comes from the West and has the appearance of a little girl; and Cosmina, a songstress dressed as a bunny girl.
Enshin, a fierce-looking pirate from the Southern Islands, and finally, Champ, a clown covered in colorful paint.
' Wild Hunt '
These people are top experts that Syura has found all over the world during her years of travel. Not only are they physically outstanding, but Syura also distributed the Teigu she had collected to them.
Their powerful Teigu, combined with their own abilities, allowed them to dominate a region in a very short time, and eventually they all became Syura's subordinates.
"I smelled blood from the moment I entered the room... Syura, are you injured?"
" Izou's a swordsman," Izo said slowly.
This Japanese-looking swordsman is the only man in ' Wild Hunt ' who doesn't have Teigu), and he almost never opens his eyes.
But it is precisely because of this that he gained superhuman senses and extremely sharp nerves, making him one of the most powerful members of the ' Wild Hunt '.
"The boss's mouth is covered in blood. Did someone bully him?"
"Don't worry about this for now... it's temporary."
Syura was unwilling to reveal to the Wild Hunt members that she had been humiliated by Lin Feng.
Firstly, Syura wanted to save face as the leader; secondly, Syura had sensed that Lin Feng was someone his father, Honest, didn't want to provoke for the time being.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Honest would have torn Lin Feng to pieces and used the body as a snack for the father and son.
"We Wild Hunt should be getting a mission soon. In the meantime, let's head to my hometown, this great Imperial Capital city, and have some fun. We can do whatever we want—burn, kill, loot, and plunder—whatever we want, after all, this is my territory!"
Pirate Enshin and Champ the Clown couldn't help but reveal expectant looks upon hearing Syura's words.
"I wonder how many beauties in the Imperial Capital are waiting for me?"
"None of that matters. There must be a lot of kids in the Imperial Capital, hehe..."
Like Syura, Enshin is a man who enjoys raping and toying with women and has a cruel personality, while Champ is a pervert who likes to kill children.
"How many people will I be able to find to offer blood sacrifices for my ' Kousetsu ' this time...?"
Izou slowly drew his beloved sword, ' Kousetsu '.
Although his eyes were not even open, Kousetsu's reflection was almost casting a clear glow on Izou's face.
He loved his sword more than anyone else, and constantly sought out new living sacrifices to offer blood at the cost of his beloved blade; this was the sole purpose of Izou existence.
"You have nothing to worry about. Everything you need will soon be provided..."
Syura faced the group and revealed a wild smile.
'I'll enjoy this for a few days, slowly familiarize myself with the situation in the palace, and then it won't be long before I make that man named Lin Feng kneel and beg for mercy...'
The courtiers, ordered to leave by Honest, had already shown considerable resentment.
"This is truly baffling... Such a rare and large-scale court assembly, and it's already over after only announcing such a small number of matters?"
"I still have a ton of official business to handle. The security situation in the western towns has been terrible lately; I have no idea what they're planning..."
Lin Feng ignored these things. Strangely enough, since becoming a lieutenant general, Minister Honest seemed not to have assigned him any tasks.
In order to give Lin Feng the power to check Esdeath, most lieutenant generals would be directly under Esdeath's command, but Lin Feng was separated by Honest Honest.
However, during this period, Honest did not consider Lin Feng's official duties at all, seemingly just letting Lin Feng hold the title, and it is unknown whether he intended to use him for other purposes.
' Honest... we'll probably find out soon what he's thinking.'
Lin Feng realized that Syura to the country to form the Wild Hunt was most likely part of Honest's long-planned scheme.
