"Hey boss, who's upset you now?"
Lubbock turned and asked a question, only to be met with a cold snort from Leone.
"This time when I went to the capital, I received a mission."
Everyone at the table put down their chopsticks and looked at Leone.
"The person who issued the mission was a civilian woman. She asked me to kill the oil merchants who oppressed the civilians, as well as the captain of the guards who sheltered the oil merchants, Oni no Ouka."
A large bag of gold coins was thrown on the table, and Leone sat on the sofa angrily.
"Where did she, an ordinary citizen, get so much money?"
Lubbock frowned slightly, suspecting that the person who issued the mission was a spy sent from the capital.
“She got it by selling her body; I smelled disease on her.”
Leone was not in a good mood. She had gone to the capital today with the intention of stealing two jars of fine wine.
She met someone posting a mission on the way and casually made contact, but she never expected that the person had suffered such a terrible fate.
The person who issued the task was a young and beautiful woman whose husband had been killed by an oil merchant because he had offended the merchant.
Because of her youth and beauty, she was also insulted by the other party.
Wanting revenge, she went to the police station, but not only did it not work, she was also beaten up.
The guard captain, Oni no Ouka, is the oil merchant's protector; the two are in cahoots.
Najenda, the Night Raid Squad's boss, frowned slightly. This time, the oil dealer was relatively easy to deal with, but the most difficult target was Oni-Ouka.
This person has long been on the Night Raid Squad's kill list, but because he is difficult to kill, the task has been delayed until now.
Oni no Ouka is very cautious. He usually hides in the guard headquarters, and even when he goes out, he is accompanied by a large number of guards.
"This mission is divided into two groups. Akame, you and Mine are in one group. Find a way to kill Oni no Oka. As for the oil merchant, Leone, you and Hao Yun will take care of him."
"Brand, you and Hill are in a group, responsible for supporting Akame and Mine."
Najendan quickly assigned tasks to groups, and none of the people present objected.
After discussing the general plan, Lubbock entered the capital to begin gathering intelligence.
Three days later, the night raid team was dispatched.
"Leone, are you sure that oil merchant will come here?"
Hiding on the roof of a brothel, Hao Yun listened to the decadent music below, his expression somewhat unnatural.
Leone chuckled and put his arm around Hao Yun's shoulder.
"Are you still a virgin?"
Hao Yun didn't say anything, just snorted, slapped Leone's hand away, and ignored her.
"Don't worry, that oil dealer comes here every day. Don't hold back when you strike. Everyone here deserves to die!"
Leone's expression was cold as she looked at the crowd below, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.
Chapter 361 Underground Gangs
Heaven on Earth, the largest den of iniquity in the capital's red-light district, offers gambling, singing and dancing, prostitution, and other services.
Those who can afford to come here are all either rich or noble; ordinary people can't afford it.
Oil merchant Jawanle has been making a fortune lately because he got involved with the Oni no Oka.
Accompanied by four guards, Jia Wanle appeared at Heaven on Earth.
"You all stand guard outside the door."
The ugly-looking, stout Jawanle entered the room with a lewd grin on his face.
Inside the room, a sweet-looking woman wore a fake smile.
"You've arrived!"
"Hehe, little beauty, come over and have a couple of drinks with me."
Jia Wanle rubbed his hands together, then grabbed the woman in the room and pulled her to sit on a chair, groping her all over.
"Don't be in such a hurry, come on, have a drink."
The woman chuckled, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, but she still obediently began to serve Jia Wanle.
"Let's do it!"
Leone, who was hiding on the roof beam, appeared silently behind Jawan.
The woman sitting in Jawanle's lap noticed there was another person in the room and was about to shout.
Whoosh!
As the sickle swept across, the heads of Jawanle and the prostitute rolled to the ground.
"Hey, are you trying to steal my job?"
Leone, who was about to make a move, looked at the two people lying on the ground and glared angrily at Hao Yun.
"I'm sorry, I only acted because I saw she was about to scream."
Hao Yun didn't want to cause too much of a commotion; there were at least thirty to fifty security guards in this brothel.
If they make too much noise, it will be difficult for the two of them to get away.
Leone glared at Hao Yun, then climbed onto the roof and left.
Hao Yun reluctantly shook the blood off his sickle and climbed onto the roof beam.
As for the guards brought by Jiawanle outside, they were unaware of their employer's death. By the time they discovered it, Hao Yun and Leone had already vanished.
The two slipped out of the brothel, and Leone stopped.
"Pretty boy, I have something to do. Wait here for me for a while."
"Where are you going? Haven't we already completed our mission?"
Hao Yun frowned. Tonight, his and Leone's mission was to kill the oil dealers, then retreat to a designated location and wait for the other two teams to complete their missions and join them.
"Don't worry about it, I'll be back soon."
Leone's eyes flashed with a cold light as he climbed over the wall, onto the roof, and then slipped into the brothel.
Hao Yun squatted on the roof, carrying a sickle, wondering whether he should go over and take a look.
This is a red-light district, bustling with people. If Leone is doing something dangerous and gets discovered, that would be terrible.
The nobles and wealthy people who come here usually bring a few of their subordinates.
This group of people varied in strength, with the most powerful among them already reaching the level of a second-rate expert. Even Hao Yun wasn't confident he could quickly resolve the battle.
If Leone gets entangled with this group, her fate is predictable.
With a sigh, Hao Yun chased after Leone in the direction she had gone.
Inside the Heaven on Earth, hidden in the underground basement, a group of women lay on the ground, moaning as if in a trance.
In the center of the room, a huge cauldron emitted fragrant gases.
"Boss, this woman seems to be failing."
A man dressed like a thug stroked the woman's body at his feet, a wicked smile on his face.
In the corridor, a tall, burly, bald man with a fierce look on his face snorted softly.
"If it's no longer usable, just throw it out."
The person beside him frowned as he looked at the woman in the room.
"Boss, if we continue to give them medication, I'm afraid these women won't be able to hold on."
"If you can't hold on, go back to the slums and keep arresting. Do I need to teach you something this simple?"
The bald, burly man glared at his underling, then turned and went to the next room.
"Liu Zi, I told you long ago not to meddle in other people's business, and you got scolded for it!"
The thugs in the room sneered, grabbed the woman's arm at his feet, and prepared to drag her out.
"Come and give me a hand, this woman is really heavy."
The two men had just carried the body into the corridor when they heard a dull thud as something heavy fell to the ground.
What was that sound?
Liu Zi raised his head and looked towards the end of the corridor with the help of the dim light on the wall.
Damn it!
Leone tossed aside the corpse in his hand and continued walking forward with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Leone!"
Liu Zi, who was carrying the body, exclaimed in surprise when he saw the people in the corridor.
"Who goes there! How dare you trespass on our base? You're asking for trouble!"
The thugs who were carrying the corpses shouted when they saw Leone.
His gaze quickly turned lewd, staring intently at Leone's breasts and thighs.
"He's not bad looking. If he spends one night with me, I'll let it go about trespassing on our base."
The sixth son standing next to him was clearly much smarter than him; without saying a word, he turned and ran.
"The enemy has invaded!"
This shout drew all the gang members hiding underground out.
After dealing with the thugs carrying the body, Leone looked at the room next door.
Leone's eyes turned bloodshot after just one glance.
A few days ago, one of her friends in the slums went missing. Based on the clues she found, Leone learned that her friend's disappearance was related to this underground gang.
