Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Don't I, Jadis, have any dignity?!

What's more, the woman in front of him was Bambietta, with whom he had always been at odds.

No, I can't lose face in front of her.

So she cleared her throat and said, feigning composure:

"What's wrong? Judging from your appearance, it seems you've been in a tough spot lately, suffering quite a bit, haven't you?"

Gatis had a smug look on his face, completely unaware of his role as a traitor.

Bambieta's expression changed slightly, revealing an unnatural blush.

She glanced cautiously at the tall man behind her and stammered:

"I...I'm quite happy...no...I'm doing quite well."

After saying that, she unconsciously lowered her head, not daring to look at Jadis's suspicious eyes again.

Jadis looked at her suspiciously, her mind filled with doubt.

The woman's clothes were tattered and torn, to the point that she was practically naked.

How can this be considered good?

Perhaps he's just putting on a brave face in front of himself, unwilling to admit defeat, which is why he's so stubborn?

But what about the genuine smile on her face?

I actually felt a sense of happiness from the bottom of my heart!

Jadis really couldn't understand it.

As she was deep in thought.

A large hand suddenly landed on her head, gently stroking her soft, long hair.

"Damn it! Which bastard dared to touch my hair? I'll get him..."

Jadis turned around angrily, ready to teach the other person a lesson.

But when she saw that familiar face, her angry shouts immediately stopped.

"What were you about to say? What are you going to do?"

Aozaki Mayuki smiled, but her hands continued to move.

"No...it's nothing."

Jadis, deflated like a punctured balloon, lowered her head and answered softly.

"Not only is the hair color similar, but the texture is also very similar to Nel's."

Aozaki Mayuki seemed to adore Gatiss's hair, gently stroking it as she remarked.

Jadis's eye twitched violently.

You're touching my hair, but you're thinking about other women?

Pah! What a damn scumbag!

Jadis began to struggle with the decision: should she rebel?

The Quincy in the Wandenreich all know that her hair is the most precious thing to her!

However, when I looked up and met those eyes filled with a mocking smile...

A sense of helplessness rose in her heart, and she finally gave up on this unrealistic idea.

"That's really fierce."

Aozaki Mayuki smiled slightly, seemingly unperturbed by Gatiss's attitude.

"Alright, stop standing there, get ready, we're leaving here soon," he said calmly.

"leave?"

"...We're free? We can go back to the Invisible Empire?"

"I can hardly believe it," Jadis asked.

Could this guy actually be a good person?

A surprised smile appeared on Jadis's face, and her previously despairing heart was instantly rekindled with hope.

I never expected that things would turn out this way!

"free?"

Aozaki Mayuki chuckled, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

Why should I release you? I'm just moving you to another place.

After all, the underground training ground is just an entertainment venue, not a good place to imprison prisoners.

Leaving them here is merely a temporary measure.

Sure enough, this man is a complete and utter villain!

Jadis's smile froze instantly, and her mood plummeted once again.

Looking at Jadis's expression, Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but find it a little amusing.

This woman really can't keep secrets.

His thoughts were written all over his face; no wonder he could only last half an hour with Luo Jia…

Thinking of this, Aozaki Mayuki's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile:

"I'm giving you your freedom now, do you dare go back?"

Upon hearing Aozaki Mayuki's words, Gadis instinctively replied:

"Why wouldn't you dare?"

However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately realized she had said the wrong thing, and her face turned very ugly.

She realized that her answer was utterly foolish.

Bambieta, standing to the side, also cooperated perfectly, looking at Jadis with an expression as if she were an idiot.

That look seemed to say:

Are you stupid?

Leaking information about the Invisible Empire is an act of betrayal against the Empire, which can never be forgiven.

But let alone the unforgivable crime of betrayal.

Even defeat in battle is a capital offense in the Unseen Empire.

They were captured because they were defeated by Aozaki Mayuki, and going back would surely mean certain death.

The situation would be even more serious if the Empire found out they had leaked intelligence.

Even if they are executed, their souls will not find peace.

Although they had never seen His Majesty the Emperor awake.

However, judging from the strict laws enacted by the invisible empire...

One can imagine how cruel and tyrannical His Majesty the emperor's methods must have been.

Incompetence leads to death, defeat leads to death.

Even if you accidentally get in His Majesty's way, you'll die!

For these traitors, the death penalty may only be the beginning.

What's the point of hiding here and living a few more years?

Once His Majesty awakens, if we use the Holy Decree on them...

Although as a newcomer to the Invisible Empire, I have not witnessed that power firsthand, I know its general effects.

Gatiss and Bambietta became worried about the future they might face.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

I'm asking for three free little gifts every day, fueled by my love for this.

Chapter 309 needs to be weakened.

Aozaki Mayuki looked at the two of them and chuckled softly, saying:

"You might see Mayuri Kurotsuchi again sometime in the future."

"why?"

"I asked her instinctively."

She truly hated that weird man who wanted to dissect her!

"Of course, we'll have him research methods to stop the sanctification."

Aozaki Mayuki waved her hand, her tone carrying a hint of domineering as she said:

“You are now my spoils of war. Although you were stolen, I will never return what I have stolen.”

Upon hearing this, Bambietta's eyes immediately lit up with hearts, and she practically wanted to stick her gaze to Aozaki Mayuki.

Jadis couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude.

Who wants their life to be in someone else's hands at any moment?

Although she was the one who borrowed the money...

But can the matter of destroying the Quincy be called a loan?

Why borrow when you can just rob someone outright?!

Aozaki Mayuki was unaware of the bandit-like thoughts swirling in Jadis's mind.

He led the two away from the underground training ground and headed towards the Aozaki family's residence.

To facilitate the research of Michiha Gen Aura.
