The next day-
"Ah! I'm finally full. I'm so happy…Thank you for your hospitality!!!”
Scheer put down the chopsticks and empty bowl in her hands and cried out in happiness. Then, she leaned her head on the table and mumbled something. Seeing Scheer's exhausted look, Najetta, who was sitting by the table, could not help but sigh.
" Mr. Roland, I was wondering if you could slow down the training of Hill a little? I think it's best not to give her too much pressure. After all, this isn't the Empire, and we're not walking the path of absolute elites. There shouldn't be a need to be so demanding."
Mayn, Blake, and Lubbock had not returned from their mission yesterday. However, they had sent news back along the way. As the target had been heavily guarded, they planned to make a plan before carrying out the assassination. After all, they did not want to attract a large group of people to attack them. According to the original schedule, they would be back in the afternoon.
There were only Roland, Reina, Scheer, Scarlet Eye, Leona, Nagata, Tazmi, Iyas, and Shayou at the dining table. What Nagata said made everyone at the table subconsciously stop eating and look up at Roland. Roland, on the other hand, raised his eyes and glanced sharply at Nagata.
"Nagata, do you know what you're saying? I either don't do it, or I do it seriously. Besides, this level of training is much less than the training I had in the Empire. Chi Tong is very clear about this…and don't forget, you asked me to do this. If you change your mind, you can ask me to stop training.”
No one present knew the conversation between Roland and Nagata, so they were surprised that the atmosphere had suddenly become so heavy. Nagata couldn't help but smile bitterly and say,""Sir, I'm just saying. You don't have to be so serious, right? Alright, I understand. I won't say anything else. I'll leave Scheer's matters to you.”
"It's good that you understand. Nagata, I just want you to understand one thing. Compassion is fatal on the battlefield. If you don't fight now, you'll die in the future…You don't want anything to happen to her, right?”
"Of course, that's why I'm asking you. Anyway, I was wrong this time.”
" No, it's nothing. There's something wrong with my attitude too. I almost went back to how I was in the Empire. Anyway, the amount of training won't be reduced. However, after the training, I'll teach her how to regulate her body more effectively so that she won't tire herself out.”
"Thank you so much."
Everyone was confused by the strange conversation between Roland and Nagata. Even Hill, who was the center of the conversation, tilted his head in confusion. They couldn't understand the conversation between Roland and Nagata at all.
Reina, who was the only one who knew the truth, did not care about the change in the atmosphere at the dining table. She swept the food on her table with big mouthfuls. The strange conversation just now did not affect her at all. She was indeed a foodie among foodies!
Sensing the heavy atmosphere, Nagata knew that it was her fault. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and coughed softly."Oh right, Leona, since you have time now, tell me about the commission from the Imperial Capital a few days ago. It's time for us to take action. It's not our style to make the client wait for too long.”
Other than Tazmi, everyone else had experience in missions. For example, Eliyas had been frequently sent out on assassination missions when he was under Roland. Shayou was the same. Moreover, Shayou had been on missions with Scarlet Eye recently. Now, only Tazmi had never been on a mission. He immediately focused on this conversation.
"Yes, the target is a man named Oka from the Imperial Guard, and the oil merchant Jamal. According to the client, Jamal used a large amount of money to bribe Oka. She said that the cooperation between the two of them was even more powerful. Oka found a scapegoat to cover up Jamal's evil deeds, and the client's fiancé was framed and sentenced to death."
"I see. Then how did the client know about this?”
" It seems that the client's fiancé overheard the secret conversation between Okar and Jamal in prison. Before the execution began, he let the client know about this through a letter. That's why the client came to Night Raid and entrusted this mission to us. This is the commission fee that the client gave me at that time.”
As she spoke, Leona took out a tightly tied leather bag from under her and placed it on the table. The leather bag made a clanging sound of coins. It was obvious that there was a lot of money inside. Tazmi couldn't help but gulp when she saw it.
"To think that person had the means to raise so much. How did he do it…"
Leona glanced at Tazmi and said in a heavy tone,"" At that time, I maintained the posture of 'Beast King', and my five senses became very sharp, so I smelled the unique stench of sexually transmitted diseases from her body..."
"She probably earned this money by selling her body. However, this is already her limit. In her current state, she can't continue doing this. Her vitality is quite weak. I'm afraid she won't have much time left..."
"…How could this be!?"
After hearing Leona's story, Tazmi clenched his fists, looking like he couldn't accept it. Shayou and Eliyas, who were sitting on both sides of him, put down their bowls and chopsticks and held his hands. Neither of them said anything, wanting to use their warmth to make Tazmi feel better, because they had also felt this kind of anger before.
