(I only wrote a total of four chapters today. I uploaded it all at once. This is the third update.)
At the same time that the Hunter was established, the Night Raid Stronghold was not quiet at the moment. Everyone except Scarlet Eye surrounded Brand's bed and looked at him worriedly.
Brand, who was treated as a rare animal, said in embarrassment,"I say, what are you doing? I'm fine.”
Nazeta took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a puff. She said solemnly,""Brand, you can't use Haunted Ghost anymore. If you continue to use it, you might…no, you will definitely die!”
Brand, who was lying on the bed, sat up with great difficulty and showed off his seemingly strong body."How could that be? I've been using Haunted for so long and nothing happened to me. Why would Boss say something like that now? I won't die before I see the empire get attacked!”
"Seventy percent of the muscles in his body are severely damaged. It's already very difficult for him to move his body. Besides, take a look for yourself." Nagata took out a mirror and placed it in front of Brand.
Through the mirror, Brand could clearly see his current situation. His originally pitch-black, glossy hair had turned yellow and white, and stripes that symbolized aging had appeared on his skin.
"This is…"
Nagata sighed and extinguished the cigarette in her hand."Ah, this is probably the price to pay for using the evolved 'Haunted Demon'.”
This was the first time Mayn saw Brand's disappointed expression. She gave him a thumbs up and said with a bright face,""Brand, rest well. Leave the rest to us! We will definitely let you see a brand new empire! So you must live well before that day comes.”
"How can this be? How can I give up fighting? Besides, other than me, no one else can use the Ghost Entanglement. Don't worry, I won't die! Being haunted by evil spirits requires a large amount of energy, so I'll just eat a lot of food to replenish my energy! I can even conquer the evolved Evil Spirit Entanglement!”
Brandt, who had endured the pain and got off the bed, suddenly felt his mind go blank and fell back onto the bed.
After the Night Raid team hurriedly settled Brand down, they looked at the other person involved, Tazmi.
Nazeta led everyone to the meeting hall and looked at Tazmi, whose arm was wrapped in bandages.
"Tazmi, can you tell me what happened? Five days ago, you carried Brand, who was on the verge of death, back. We've been busy trying to save Brand these past few days, so we didn't have time to ask what happened. Now that Brand has woken up, we can focus on what happened.”
"That day…Big Brother fought fiercely with three Imperial Artifact Envoys who claimed to be the three Orc Warriors under Aiders, and finally killed them. However, when my big brother asked me to retrieve the three relics, the girl called Blackpupil suddenly appeared and took all the relics. She should have had the chance to kill us, but she didn't do it. Instead, she detonated the explosives she had hidden on the ship and left on a super dangerous species that could fly. After that, Big Brother and I were dragged into the canal and we managed to escape with great difficulty…"
At the end of his sentence, Tazmi even wiped his tears."If big brother didn't save me, he wouldn't have suffered such a serious injury. In the water, big brother used his body to protect me. All the ship fragments hit big brother's body…"
Nazeta looked at Tazmi in disappointment.""Is that so? Raber, although I don't know why Greedy Marquis Nie didn't put up a wanted poster for you, since Leona has already betrayed us, I'll let you be in charge of collecting information about the Imperial Capital. We can't afford to make any mistakes in this matter.”
When Mayn heard Leona's betrayal, she quickly asked,""Wait! Boss! What does Leona mean by betrayal?"
At the mention of Leona, Nazeta began to worry again."This is the news that Chi Tong brought back. That day, when she went on a mission to kill the drug dealers, she met Leona, who was beside Greedy Nie Hou. Moreover, the two of them were chatting and laughing. Even though he didn't understand why this had happened, Leona had indeed betrayed the Night Raid.”
Tazmi couldn't get a word in because of his previous inaction. Scheer didn't understand what was going on at all. Instead, Lubbock frowned and said,""Boss, since Leona has betrayed us, should we change our foothold? If he continued to stay here, he might suffer a blow.”
" Don't worry about that. Leona won't tell us where the stronghold is. It's been so long, but she hasn't been surrounded yet. This proves that Leona didn't betray us. Besides, I have a rough idea of why she betrayed us. All of you should leave." Let me be alone."
After waving everyone away, Nagata revealed a helpless expression. The Revolutionaries sounded nice, but in reality, they were no different from the Empire. Leona seemed to have discovered the truth from the greedy Marquis Nie, which was why he had betrayed them. He had even told Scarlet Eye about this information after meeting him…In a situation where Brand had no combat power, if he lost Scarlet Eye…the Night Raid would only exist in name…
After much consideration, Nagata finally walked towards Chi Tong's room. She decided to have a good talk with him. If possible, she hoped to find a new way to save the Empire.
"Chi Tong, I'm coming in…"
Seeing that there was no response from the room, Nazeta pushed the door open and walked in. At this moment, Chi Tong was sitting on a chair like an unconscious doll, looking out the window without saying a word.
Nazeta grabbed Chi Tong's collar and lifted her up."Chi Tong, how long are you going to be depressed? It was difficult for Brand to even move. Raber and Mayn were not good at fighting head-on. As for Hill…without anyone to take care of her, she would not be able to carry out her mission independently. Now, in the entire night raid, only you have the ability to fight head-on. How long are you going to stay silent?”
"So you want me to continue killing people?" Chi Tong asked with a blank look in his eyes. Continue to kill for the revolutionary army that was no different from the Empire? Back when I was in the Empire's assassination squad, I killed people to meet my sister. In the end, I realized that after I gave up on my sister, I was actually killing for a group of vampires who were no different from the Empire. Was there any meaning to my existence?”
"It's meaningful, because the corrupt officials and nobles we killed in the night raid were demons who persecuted ordinary people. We didn't kill for the revolutionary army, but for the conscience in our hearts!”
"Conscience? Since you've said so, I'll try again…"
