The head of the assassination squad had an incredibly sharp eye. Although Lin Yu had never shown his strength in front of him, some clues were enough for him to deduce a lot of things.
"With such powerful figures as them in this crumbling empire, the rebels will likely struggle to gain any traction, and it seems my assassination squad can continue to exist for quite some time."
An assassination squad, operating in the shadows, specializes in carrying out shady missions. The man who commands such a force is hardly a good person; he craves chaos!
"Brother, should we go back now?"
Walking in the woods outside the assassination squad base, Hei Tong looked up at Lin Yu, her eyes full of anticipation. This was just a small test.
"What else can we do?"
Seeing how cute Hei Tong looked, Lin Yu deliberately teased her.
"Hey! But you clearly said you were going to take me to see my sister!"
Little Black Eyes immediately puffed out her cheeks, looking quite angry.
"I'll poke!"
puff!
Lin Yu smiled and poked the little girl's chubby cheek with his finger. The little girl's feigned anger instantly vanished, and she made a sound that made her blush.
"Brother is a bad guy!"
Little Black Eyes raised her fist and punched Lin Yu several times, her embarrassed and annoyed expression quite adorable.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding!"
With one hand, Lin Yu grabbed Hei Tong's two small hands, and with the other hand, he messed up her hair.
"Even if I take you back now, you probably won't be in the mood for training. Let's just take you to have a look instead!"
Lin Yu's prank above her head didn't make the little girl angry; instead, it brought a look of surprise to her face.
"Really? My brother is the best!"
Upon hearing that she could meet her sister, the little girl was so happy she almost jumped for joy, her face beaming with excitement.
"When has your brother ever lied to you?" He pulled Kuroko into a tight hug. "Hold on tight!"
"Ok!"
Black Eyes nodded vigorously. As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu disregarded the assassination squad guarding the area and spread his ice-blue wings, flying into the sky.
"A flying Imperial Arms? I'd really like to see how strong it is, but there's no suitable opportunity, so I'll pass."
Standing on high ground, the leader of the assassination squad turned back to the base; he still had a lot of work to do!
For example, monitoring the progress of the children he personally trains.
"We can't fall too far behind the selection team. Let's give them a try of the new drug this time."
……
In a village in Longxi, Akame and her companions were gathered in a house, where a middle-aged man carrying a large katana stood before them.
This is the 'father' of the seven people, Gozchi!
"Now it's time for you to receive your first mission."
When Gozchi announced the news in front of them, even the seven people who were prepared were stunned.
"Dad, you mean..."
Cornelia, with her beautiful figure and long hair, broke the silence first.
“That’s right, this assassination target is different from usual; it’s not a dangerous species.” Gozchi’s smile was somewhat cruel: “It’s a human!”
He had already prepared suitable goals for each of the seven people, all of which were set according to their weaknesses. Whether they could complete the task depended on the training results during this period.
"The day has finally come!"
"My hands are itching to try it!"
The petite girls Bonnie and Guy, with their straightforward personalities, spoke their minds directly, while the others secretly made up their minds as well.
Even though they were about to kill for the first time, not one of them showed any fear; instead, they were all eager to try.
"They all want to prove themselves? That's quite a drive," Gozchi thought to himself, noting that they'd been brainwashed since childhood.
Only by extinguishing the flames of rebellion can everyone achieve happiness!
The Empire told them that assassination squads need more than just killing machines; often, assassins need to disguise themselves to complete missions, so a certain degree of humanity is essential!
Even if this humanity has actually been distorted...
"The others aren't too worried, but..."
Gozchi's gaze lingered on Akame for a moment without leaving a trace.
"Akame has been in contact with the outside world too much, and her personality is too gentle. I don't know why Lin Yu cares about her so much, and even let her leave the environment specially prepared by the assassination squad."
Gozchi frowned inwardly. Of everyone, only Akame was a variable, but seeing the energetic look on her face, Gozchi temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction with Lin Yu.
"I have prepared the targets for you, but with your abilities, these people are probably no match for you. Just fight as you do in training."
"Moreover, you are also carrying 'servant equipment'."
Gozchi's gaze swept over the weapons on the men.
"A thousand years ago, the First Emperor created forty-eight weapons known as Imperial Arms in order to protect the country forever. Each one was a super weapon created by using lost secret techniques or powerful and dangerous materials. Several hundred years later, the emperor at that time also wanted to try to create Imperial Arms himself. However, the weapon he created was still inferior to the Imperial Arms. The emperor at that time was ashamed of it and sarcastically called it 'Minister's Arms', which has been sealed away to this day."
"Although they cannot compare to imperial weapons, they are still far superior to other weapons. The weapons in your hands are ones I specially took out from the Imperial Treasury."
"Wow, our weapons are so powerful!"
The short-haired Tsukushi carefully examined the gun in her hand, looking surprised.
"Now you understand, right? You have been bestowed with the national treasure 'Minister's Tool,' and the task you will complete in the future is of utmost importance and nobility!" Gozchi opened his arms wide. He had always used this method to brainwash these children who had never been exposed to the outside world. Except for Akame, everyone believed his words without a doubt.
"Be proud! Your efforts will save this empire!"
As Gozchi finished speaking, everyone showed a serious expression, including Akame!
"Then is the sword at Father's waist also a weapon?"
Tsukushi looked curiously at Gozchi's waist, and the latter immediately took the sword down and raised it above his head.
"No, this is an Imperial Arms!"
"Wow, Dad is amazing!"
Although Tsukushi was already quite old, she had little contact with the outside world and her personality was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, so she immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"If you work hard, you might be equipped with Imperial Arms in the future!"
They've thrown out a bait. Even if they were given Imperial Arms in the future, they would still serve the Empire. But it's still a form of encouragement. Now that the sweet treat has been given, it's time for a little warning.
"By the way, if anyone fails their first mission, I won't let them off the hook!"
The reason why Gozchi was entrusted with such an important task by the head of the assassination unit was naturally because he had his own special qualities.
"This is a very important task related to everyone's happiness, and those who cannot complete it do not deserve to be my children!"
Even when it comes to punishment, Gozchi will tie it to what the seven care about most: the family-like bond that the seven have built up over the years!
"You will split up and kill different targets. No help is allowed. Open the envelope later. The details are written inside."
The envelopes were handed to the seven people, and the older Cornelia glanced at one before turning her attention back to Gozchi.
"What about the deadline?"
"Bring their heads here before tomorrow morning. Every single one of them is a bad guy or spy trying to disrupt the country."
That's what they say, but that's not what Gozci actually thinks.
"Most of the targets this time were death row inmates. The state promised them a pardon if they survived in a designated location, so they became the targets of this operation."
The seven had already begun their discussion, and Gozchi once again turned his gaze to Akame.
"Although...there are exceptions..."
Time was limited, and the seven chatted briefly before parting ways. Each of them confidently opened their own envelope, which contained their respective goals and requirements. After confirming the execution location, they set off on their own, except for one person who stood there stunned.
"Why..." Akame stared at the letter in her hand in disbelief. "Why is my target Martha?"
Some time has passed since they arrived in Longxi. During their time here, Gozqi has not forbidden the seven of them from contacting the 'outside world,' and Masha is the only friend that Akame has made in Longxi...
“I’ve assigned Guy a quick-witted opponent, and Green a mentally sharp one—both types they’re not good at dealing with.”
Sitting alone in the room, Gozchi's lips curled up slightly, looking somewhat smug: "Especially Akame, she's so gentle, and unlike others, she's not superstitious about me. I'll take special care of you this time."
In Longxi, near a cemetery outside the village, Akame and a long-haired girl stared at each other.
"Little Red Eyes, what's wrong with you? Why did you call me here so late?"
Akame looked intently at the girl in front of her, who was older than her and had taken care of her like an older sister during their time in Longxi, her heart wavering.
"Huh? Does this mean the food prices are going up and they're coming to me for help...?"
"Martha!"
Before Martha could finish speaking, Akame loudly interrupted her.
"I have something to ask you, please answer me honestly!"
Akame stared at Martha with sharp eyes: "Are you an inside agent for the rebels?"
Just as Gozchi knew, Akame's personality was too gentle, so gentle that even though she knew the person in front of her was her target, she still told him without any concealment.
Seemingly startled by Akame's appearance, Martha stood there for a long time before forcing a smile: "Haha, you little Akame, how could I be an infiltrator for the rebels? If you keep making jokes like that, I'll get angry!"
Upon hearing Martha's denial, Akame not only didn't doubt it, but felt a huge weight lifted from her heart and immediately smiled.
"Oh, that's great, really, that's great."
Even though she knew that turning back would be punished, Akame still turned around and said, "I'll go check it again myself. Sorry, Martha!"
She was overjoyed to hear Martha deny it, but when she sensed the other person getting close, her heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.
call out!
Having narrowly dodged the dagger, Akame gazed sadly at her friend.
"Oh dear, it was just a little bit short, what a pity."
Martha's tone was the same as usual, but the smile on her face was gone.
