After intimidating Sayou, Uchiha Madara finally made Sayou realize the master's authority. At this moment, Sayou obediently followed Uchiha Madara away from the spot.
As the two walked, Sayou couldn't help but ask her last question:
"Lord Madara, who exactly is this golden-haired woman you brought back? You seem quite familiar with her. Is it truly alright for her to stay with us?"
Uchiha Madara replied to this:
"It's related, of course it's related! This woman's identity is not simple at all! Sayou, do you know about... Night Raid?"
Sayou heard the name Night Raid for the first time and shook her head in confusion.
Uchiha Madara thoughtfully explained to her:
"Night Raid '933' is an assassin group active in the Imperial Capital!"
"An assassin group!"
"That's right, although they are an assassin group, you don't need to worry. You know the situation in the Imperial Capital; it's filled with great villains and evil deeds everywhere. And Night Raid's assassination targets are precisely these villains!"
Sayou seemed to understand a little:
"So that's how it is. Although they are assassins, they are a group of assassins who punish evil and promote good!"
"You can understand it that way. This golden-haired woman you just settled is named Leone. She is a member of the Night Raid assassin group!"
"What!?"
Sayou was greatly alarmed, looking behind her with uneasy panic, fearing that Leone, this assassin, would suddenly appear behind her:
"Madara... Lord Madara! You... you just said you got her drunk and dragged her back?"
"That's right!"
"You... you got a female assassin drunk, and we even took her in! This is too dangerous!"
"What's so dangerous about it?"
"She's an assassin! A ruthless assassin who kills without batting an eye! What if she wakes up early tomorrow, remembers these things, gets upset, and kills us all in a fit of rage?"
"Although they are assassins, they are also assassins who listen to reason. They won't harm innocent and good people. And we haven't done anything excessive, so why should we be afraid?"
Although Uchiha Madara's words were very reasonable, Sayou was still clearly uneasy and panicked:
"Lord Madara... what you say is correct, but she is an assassin after all; this is truly too dangerous! Otherwise... we'll take her out while she's dead drunk and just throw her on any street corner. Then it won't be our problem anymore!"
"No! This female assassin from Night Raid is a woman I'm interested in! Moreover, she is very useful for luring out the entire Night Raid! A duck in hand must absolutely not be let go!"
"What!? You want to lure out Night Raid too!? Lord Madara, you're crazy!"
"I'm not crazy, Sayou. You should know, the Empire's strongest Grand General, Esdeath, is my defeated subordinate and lover. Although a mere Night Raid is formidable, what does it really count for?!"
"But... Lord Madara..."
"Enough! You don't need to try and persuade me anymore. My decision on this matter is final. Sayou, you just stay by my side peacefully and steadily, and simply observe the grand play that is about to unfold!"
After comforting Sayou, Uchiha Madara and Sayou left the place, one behind the other. It was late, and they, too, should rest.
That night, Uchiha Madara rested as usual. Sayou, however, was so anxious that she couldn't sleep well. As for Leone... she lay on the soft, large bed, sleeping the soundest and sweetest sleep of the truly drunk.
She, indeed, slept soundly, but on Night Raid's side, they were sleepless due to Leone's failure to return to base for the night!
Within the Night Raid base, in the Night Raid meeting room, several important figures and key members of Night Raid were gathered. Although the night outside was already deep, all the Night Raid members were gathered here, tense and worried, without a shred of sleepiness.
The reason, of course, was that Leone still hadn't returned!
Najenda sat at the head of the table. She closed her eyes, her fingers idly tapping a rhythmic beat, revealing her anxious inner state.
Although the other members made no sound, their individual tension, worry, and anxiety were evident on their faces...
The atmosphere was heavy and stifling.
Mine couldn't take it anymore, anxiously mumbling:
"What exactly happened to Leone? Why isn't she back so late?!"
Lubbock looked up, the clock hand on the wall already pointing to one. It was already one in the morning. He sighed, his mood equally worried:
"This guy, no matter how she usually goes out to play, she should have been back by now. What exactly happened today?"
Chelsea's face was expressionless; she merely let out a faint sigh and said:
"Alas... it's a time of much trouble..."
All the Night Raid members were startled.
Indeed. With the Revolutionary Army facing annihilation ahead, and Night Raid falling into predicament, followed by Leone's disappearance, wasn't this truly a time of much trouble?
Creak—the door opened. Akame walked in hurriedly from outside and said to the Night Raid members:
"Leone hasn't returned yet, and I've searched all around the base, but found no signs or clues left by Leone!"
Everyone's hearts instantly tightened!
Najenda slammed the table and declared:
"This is bad! From the looks of it, something has definitely happened! It's probably right here in the Imperial Capital!"
Having said that, Najenda stood up.
All the Night Raid members immediately stood up as well, looking at Najenda.
Najenda sternly surveyed the Night Raid members and stated:
"Leone is an important comrade of our Night Raid; we absolutely cannot abandon her! Now, Night Raid will mobilize, head to the Imperial Capital, and investigate Leone's whereabouts!"
"Yes, boss!" x 7
"This incident happened suddenly. We also don't know what exactly happened to Leone in the Imperial Capital, so we must be extremely careful in our actions! Our top priority is to search for Leone! Other matters can be temporarily put aside!"
"Yes, boss!" x 7
"Then everyone, depart! Keep in contact at all times!"
"Yes, boss!" x 7
All Night Raid members mobilized, rushing towards the Imperial Capital, leaving only Najenda to guard the Night Raid base...
