Chương 69: Night Raid in Progress!

When they heard what the masked man said, both Aria and Tatsumi were clearly stunned.

However, Aria is not as naive as Tatsumi and would not actually believe what Yosei says.

Not to mention that the empire doesn't even have any anti-prostitution organization.

Even if it exists, who the hell could raid someone else's house during a prostitution crackdown?

Whenever Arya plays games, there are always many guards protecting her outside the storage room.

This was done partly to protect oneself, and partly to prevent the possibility of someone escaping from here.

The fact that this masked man was able to appear here so silently means that all the guards I had placed outside had been killed by him.

Furthermore, judging from the fact that the guard didn't even manage to scream before he died, the other party must have been a formidable expert.

"Who are you? If it's for money, I can give you what you want, as long as you promise not to harm my life."

At this moment, Arya was somewhat puzzled about Yang Cheng. Was he a burglar who broke into a house? Or an assassin sent by her family's rival?

But in any case, judging from the level of combat power displayed by the opponent, I have no chance of winning.

Therefore, in order to save her life, Arya had no choice but to try to resolve the issue through negotiation.

Even if the negotiations fail, it can buy time for the other guards in the house to arrive here, or for the capital's garrison to notice the situation.

"I didn't expect you guys to be so creative..."

Yang Cheng did not answer Aria's question directly. Instead, he looked at Tatsumi, whose hands and feet were tied to the wheel, and Aria, who was holding a small leather whip, and spoke.

"Brother Yangcheng, she's a real demon! Please, no matter what, don't let her go!"

When Yang Cheng kicked open the door to the storage room, the bright moonlight also shone into the originally dim storage room.

Although the moonlight illuminated only a very limited area, Tatsumi still roared with fury as he looked at the hellish scene around him.

Tatsumi had no idea why Yang Cheng, who had just lied to him earlier that day, would suddenly appear at Aria's house.

However, he was quite clear that Yang Cheng was the only one capable of defeating the demon Arya at present.

Whether he survives or not is no longer a big concern for Tatsumi.

However, if we allow a demon like Arya to remain in the world, more people will suffer the same calamity in the future.

Arya was surprised that Tatsumi knew the assassin in front of her, so her expression instantly turned ugly.

"Your Excellency should be well aware that there are quite a few people doing similar things among the nobles of the Empire."

Moreover, the people I tortured were all outsiders; they weren't even considered citizens of the Empire, so they hadn't violated any of the Empire's laws.

"If you know Tatsumi, I can apologize to him, let him go, and pay you compensation that will absolutely satisfy you."

It must be said that the girl named Arya is indeed quite eloquent.

No wonder the other party was able to easily lure all those outsiders to their home.

However, facing Arya, who had adopted an extremely humble attitude, Yang Cheng slowly removed the mask from his face and said with a smirk, "Unfortunately, I am more interested in your life than in so-called compensation."

"And if I kill your whole family, won't all your wealth also belong to me?"

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Arya turned and ran away almost without hesitation.

In her "game room," she had even left a secret passage, so that if she could escape outside...

However, Arya, who thought this way, clearly overestimated her own abilities and underestimated Yang Cheng's strength.

In just a moment, Yang Cheng, whose figure had vanished from his original spot, reappeared in front of Arya the next second.

And without any mercy, he kicked Arya's leg bone, causing her to scream and fall to her knees.

Seeing Arya screaming and glaring at him with resentment, Yang Cheng shrugged and said, "Don't look at me like that. Isn't this your favorite game?"

"It's just a change of roles, and you can't stand it?"

After breaking Aria's leg, Yang Cheng put Tatsumi down and threw the long sword in his hand in front of him.

"Young man, since you treated us to drinks earlier, we'll leave her to you to deal with."

Tatsumi, who had been struck twice by the barbed whip, was now covered in blood and gore.

However, upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, she still gripped the knife he offered and staggered toward Arya's location.

"Tatsumi, please forgive me... It was all my fault before. I was just led astray by my parents. If you give me a chance..."

Before Arya could finish speaking, Yang Cheng, who was watching the scene with his arms crossed, interjected, "According to the intelligence we've gathered, what she did is far more unforgivable and despicable than what her parents did."

Arya, who originally wanted to play the victim and gain sympathy, has now given up entirely after Yang Cheng ruthlessly exposed her.

"That's right, I just like tormenting those country folk, so what?"

"They are of lowly status, less than animals. Many other nobles in the empire live much more extravagantly than I do. Why should they exploit and manipulate human lives, while I cannot..."

Arya's stern words were cut short halfway through.

Because Tatsumi, who had already reached his limit, was too angry to listen to his foul language anymore.

With a splatter of blood, Arya's beautiful head flew into the air.

Furthermore, his eyes were wide open before he died, clearly indicating that he died with his eyes open.

Right after Tatsumi killed Aria, a beautiful girl with long black hair and wearing a black sailor uniform also arrived at the same place.

When he saw Tatsumi holding Yangcheng's sword, he mistook him for an enemy and slowly drew his own "One-Slash Kill: Murasame" from his waist.

"Wait a minute, Akame, he's not an enemy. I lent him the sword."

Moreover, I believe this young man has the potential to become one of us.

Shortly after Akame arrived, the other members of Night Raid also arrived.

When Tatsumi saw Sayo and Ieyasu following behind Leone, he was obviously taken aback.

"Sayoo, Iyeas, why are you here too? And who are these people...?"

"Young man, please introduce yourselves again. We are all members of Night Raid."

They are specifically responsible for assassinating and eliminating scoundrels and corrupt nobles in the capital.

Leone wasn't lying to you before; I am indeed an assassin, just not affiliated with the Empire.
