The Imperial Capital was so vast, where could they possibly find Leone?
That night, almost all members of Night Raid searched for an entire night, but found no other traces of Leone.
There was no alternative. As dawn approached in the east, this large-scale search could not continue.
The members of Night Raid â Najenda, Bulat, Akame, and Sheele â all had bounties on their heads. They couldn't operate in the Imperial Capital in broad daylight. Out of helplessness, Bulat,
Akame, and Sheele could only return to the Night Raid base to report their findings to Najenda. Mine, Lubbock, and Chelsea were left behind to continue searching for clues in the Imperial Capital.
The Akame trio hurried back to the Night Raid base. In the meeting room, they found Najenda, who had been steadfastly guarding the place, and reported everything they had investigated the previous night, down to the last detail.
Listening to their report, Najenda furrowed her brows, falling into deep thought.
Seeing Najenda lost in thought, Sheele couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, Leone is such a formidable comrade; there shouldn't be any problems, right? Although she was plied with drinks last night, no matter what happens, by daybreak, Leone should be able to return, shouldn't she?"
Sheele's thought was somewhat naive. Najenda had no way of seeing things so simply. She shook her head:
"Things aren't that easy. The whole situation of Leone being plied with drinks just reeks of strangeness."
"Given Leone's vigilance, how could she be continuously plied with drinks so easily? Didn't she realize something was amiss, and wouldn't she try to escape?
Also, the man who got her drunk is highly suspicious. How did he pinpoint Leone, and how did he drink so much without being affected at all, as if he were immune to alcohol?"
Akame nodded gravely:
"That's right, Boss. I also feel that this matter is probably not that simple."
"Right now, what I'm most worried about is that Leone's identity as a Night Raid member will be discovered, and she'll be secretly detained by the Imperial Secret Police. If that happens, it will be even harder for us to find Leone!"
Najenda was equally worried, but at the moment, there was absolutely nothing they could do. She sighed, saying helplessly:
"There's nothing we can do but wait for news from Mine and the others. I hope they can find useful clues when they question the people in the Imperial Capital. You've been busy all night, go get some rest!"
"Yes, Boss!" Ă3
Akame and the trio left the meeting room with heavy hearts. Whether they could sleep or not, they might as well get some rest, leaving Najenda alone in the meeting room, continuing to bear the burden.
And Leone herself?
Leone at this moment had no idea that her comrades were frantically searching the world for her.
In a luxurious bedroom somewhere within Uchiha Madara's estate, Leone was sleeping soundly, having been out cold all night.
Finally, after a night of sleep, such deep intoxication seemed to have worn off. As the sunlight from outside streamed through the window and hit Leone's face, she awoke.
Her brows furrowed. Leone, still in bed, reached out an arm and groggily rubbed her eyes. She hazily opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, and, clutching her still heavy head, felt a wave of confusion:
"Damn it... my head hurts so much... a hangover... so uncomfortable..."
"Huh! A hangover!?"
Leone suddenly reacted. She seemed to have gone out drinking last night, and then someone got her completely drunk and she passed out!?
Suddenly opening her eyes wide, Leone vigilantly scanned her surroundings! She was in a luxuriously decorated bedroom, which seemed to be in a rich person's house.
She looked around, discovering clothes and a belt hanging on a clothes rack nearby, which seemed to be her own.
It was then that Leone realized another serious problem. She ripped open her quilt in alarm, her face paling: "Damn it! My clothes are torn!"
She hastily checked her body up and down, front and back⌠hmm⌠it seemed there was nothing amiss; she was still a virgin!?
For a moment, Leone fell into utter confusion.
She had been knocked out drunk, yet nothing was done to her afterward? If he wasn't after her beauty, why would he have gotten her drunk last night?
Also, her state last night when she was drinking wasn't right. Why didn't she quickly escape after realizing something was wrong?
Leone, full of doubt, sat on the bed, racking her brains to recall what happened last night.
She had conned a bunch of money, intending to go to the bar to drink. At first, she was drinking quite well and even conned a few men. But later, she met a man, he...
Huh!? Wait!
She didn't need to recall the later events; Leone still had an impression, even the impression that this man took advantage of her after she got drunk. But what surprised Leone the most was when she recalled the man's face...
...
The man's face was clearly identical to Uchiha Madara, the one who had overthrown the Revolutionary Army!
He was that Uchiha Madara!?
She had met Uchiha Madara last night, was plied with drinks by him, knocked out, and brought to this place. After all that, this Uchiha Madara didn't do anything to her, just let her sleep here until now!?
Leone felt as if she was finally understanding the whole sequence of events.
But, why didn't she recognize him as Uchiha Madara last night? Was it because she was already somewhat drunk when she encountered Uchiha Madara's advances?
Leone, unaware that she had been hypnotized by Uchiha Madara's genjutsu, was heartbroken and remorseful. She truly had ruined things by drinking! From now on, she must quit alcohol!
Ignoring her heavy head, Leone quickly jumped out of bed, stripped naked, meticulously checked her body, confirmed there was nothing wrong, and quickly put her clothes back on and buckled her belt.
Leone, vigilant like a cheetah, moved stealthily without making a sound. She walked to the window, cautiously pulled open a crack, and checked the situation outside.
Outside, it was not the prison with high walls and barbed wire that she had worried about. It looked like a very, very large estate, confirming her intuitive feeling that this was a rich person's mansion.
