Putting everything else aside, Najenda's evaluation of him alone is on par with Esdeath's. If someone like that were an enemy, it would be terrifying.

Despite the chaos the night raid caused in the capital, that was only because the empire hadn't yet implemented a corresponding countermeasure. Now that Lin Yu has arrived and become an enemy, the night raid's operation could be in serious danger.

"He seems to have something on his mind. If it were now, perhaps he could make it!"

Lions are predators at the top of the food chain. Before she knew it, Leone had grown a pair of furry ears on her head and her hands were covered with fist-like claws. For her, eliminating a future threat would undoubtedly be a very worthwhile choice.

"Whatever, if the BOSS and Akame want to blame us, then let them blame us!"

Night Raids were the Revolutionary Army's hidden weapon, a weapon that belonged to no one. Since Najenda and Akame had a special relationship, Leone finally made up her mind to prevent any unforeseen events from happening in the future.

Like a real lion, Leone secretly followed behind Lin Yu, ready to launch a fatal attack as soon as she found the right opportunity!

Hiss!

The faint commotion made Lin Yu stop in his tracks. The predators lurking in the shadows were waiting for their chance to strike, but Lin Yu simply looked ahead calmly.

Seemingly realizing that it had been discovered, the hidden predator revealed its fangs. A giant python, perfectly integrated with its environment, raised its head like a dragon, its gaping maw revealing two enormous fangs that even made Leone, who was also hiding in the shadows, feel a little uneasy.

"To think I'd run into a top-tier dangerous species here. Looks like I'm really lucky. If I could weaken it a bit, my chances of success would be even higher."

It's normal to encounter dangerous species here, as it's far from the capital. But encountering a powerful Special-Class Dangerous Species is not so easy. You should know that the weakest Special-Class Dangerous Species is equivalent to an Imperial General!

"Looks like we're in luck; a sandbag has just been delivered to us."

Lin Yu grinned. He had killed even the most dangerous species, let alone a special-grade one.

"You came at just the right time, so that some little kitten won't keep trying to take advantage of me."

No matter how well Leone hid herself, she was as conspicuous as a super-large light bulb in the dark in Lin Yu's perception; the gap between the two was simply too great.

"Let's finish you off in style!"

With his hands clasped together in front of his chest, terrifying ice began to fan out towards Lin Yu. If Lin Yu did not guide it, the attack range of this move would directly encompass Leone as well. There were very few in the entire empire who could withstand his power, and Leone was obviously not among them.

Click! Click! Click!

Before the giant python could even show fear in its eyes, the ice crystals had already begun to climb up its body like a persistent leech. Most of the top-tier dangerous species possess extremely high intelligence. This giant python had only intended to plunder, but it never expected to encounter something harder than diamond. Before the fear in its eyes could turn into regret, it was completely frozen, standing there like a vivid sculpture.

"That little kitten shouldn't follow us anymore. Let's go back first. What's meant to be will be. At most, my pillow will get a couple more cuts. It won't kill it."

Compared to the ever-watchful Leone, Lin Yu felt that the soon-to-arrive tsundere 'Urusai' was more of a headache, so he spread his wings and flew into the sky...

"You actually want to harm him?!"

After Lin Yu left, Leone, covered in a cold sweat, returned to Night Raid's base. She told Najenda about it, and the latter's strong reaction was not surprising at all.

"I just didn't expect that guy to be so scary!"

Even now, Leone is still somewhat relieved that she didn't make a move, otherwise, given Lin Yu's demonstrated strength, she would have had absolutely no chance of successfully launching a sneak attack!

"Well, thankfully our identities haven't been exposed. We just need to be more careful with our actions from now on."

Having joined the Revolutionary Army, Leone had already prepared herself mentally; her fear of Lin Yu's strength did not mean she would back down.

No, you're wrong.

Najeta shook her head, her expression quite serious.

"He already noticed you!"

Leone's golden pupils contracted, but he was still somewhat unwilling to believe it.

"Boss, you're exaggerating! Concealing your presence? I'm very confident in that..."

"It has nothing to do with those things!"

Najeta interrupted her.

“I know Lin Yu better than you do. I don’t know if he suspected you when you met, but one thing is certain: when you decided to kill him, he definitely noticed you. The fact that he killed a top-tier dangerous beast in an instant was probably a warning to you!”

Cold sweat poured down her back. Leone had actually thought of these things, but she just didn't want to admit it. Now that she'd been exposed, she couldn't make excuses for herself anymore.

"It seems I did something unnecessary."

Leone's spirits seemed to have waned, and he looked listless.

"No, Leone, you did the right thing, you did it very well!"

Compared to Leone's disappointment, Najenda was more excited.

"Boss, are you out of your mind with anger?"

Leone asked cautiously. She was usually fearless, but she had great faith in her boss.

“Although it seems you’ve alerted him, have you considered…” Najenda’s lips curled up slightly, clearly in a very good mood: “Why didn’t he kill you?”

"You didn't kill me?"

Leone was taken aback, still somewhat confused about Najenda's meaning, but after muttering a few words to herself, she suddenly thought of a crucial question.

"Why didn't you kill me?!"

Leone stared wide-eyed at Najenda, whose gaze solidified her resolve.

"Boss, do you mean Lin Yu might become one of our people?"

Knowing full well that there were lurking enemies, and having the ability to easily annihilate them, they chose to ignore it as if nothing had happened, and even issued a roundabout warning. Doesn't that say something?

314. Wedding? Battlefield!

"Is there really no way out?"

Wearing a pure white and elaborate formal dress, Lin Yu smiled wryly.

The world's setting is somewhat similar to an ancient world that blends Chinese and Western elements, at least in terms of clothing. Weddings tend to be more Western in style, but there is no church, so apart from the grand scale, there aren't many elaborate rituals.

As the most powerful general in the empire, Esdeath's wedding was second only to the royal family in terms of scale. Even the regional officials from all over the country came to the capital to congratulate her. No one dared to disrespect this sadistic general, Esdeath. Didn't you see that even the young emperor, ministers, and General Budo came in person?

"It seems you're still a little reluctant?"

Despite it being their own wedding, Lin Yu and Esdeath made no attempt to socialize with the guests. They stood quietly in the center of the wedding reception. With Esdeath's imposing aura, no one dared to approach except for the young emperor, ministers, and Bud. Attending this wedding was a symbol of status in itself, and they were all perceptive enough to know better. Esdeath was clearly giving off a "keep away" vibe, so who would dare to cause trouble?

"No way, how could I not be happy?"

Lin Yu's bitter smile deepened. He was still sweating profusely. There was nothing he could do; he simply couldn't be happy. His special body pillow might arrive at any moment. The thought of marrying another woman while that little one wasn't around was terrifying.

"That's good."

With a smirk playing on her lips, Esdeath made no attempt to hide her smugness. Regardless of who else Lin Yu might have in his heart, she was already one step ahead of him, and her mood was naturally quite pleasant.

"I'll go greet the guests first. You can handle things yourself."

Normally, Esdeath wouldn't bother with these people. What she needed was an empire turbulent enough to allow her to endlessly enjoy the thrill of battle. She had nothing to talk about with these officials.

But today is different. Today is a day of great joy!

"I'm really happy. Oh well, I'll think about the troublesome things later. After all, it's my own wedding. It's not good to be frowning all the time."

Lin Yu raised his glass and walked towards the circle of imperial generals. As Esdeath's adjutant, he had participated in many battles and was quite familiar with these imperial generals. Compared to other bureaucrats in the empire, the level of corruption among these generals was relatively low.

"Wow, this is quite a lively scene! Would you like me to join in?"

Just as everything was proceeding smoothly, a discordant sound came from the sky.

The entire wedding venue suddenly fell silent. No one present had expected that someone would cause trouble at the wedding of the Empire's strongest general, Esdeath. What difference was there between this and courting death?

"Corlint!"

Looking up, Lin Yu's brows furrowed deeply, for the person appearing above the wedding was none other than Collint, whom he had been searching for for years!

Moreover, it was the real person!

"Gentlemen, are you happy to have come uninvited?"

An ugly smile appeared on his bark-like face, but his small eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"Welcome, of course you're welcome."

Bud, who was originally planning to make a move, crossed his arms over his chest once again. He came here only to protect the little emperor's safety, but since Lin Yu, the master, had no objections, he decided not to bother with it.

"We'd love to have you! We've been looking for you for years, and you've finally decided to show up?"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Who was Collint? He was someone who always liked to hide in the shadows and control everything, and even turned a large number of his agents into his puppets. The fact that such a ruthless character had come here in person meant that it was quite obvious.

"Isn't it because you guys were chasing me too hard? Look, I've practically delivered myself to your doorstep."

Collint shrugged innocently, but his gaze swept over the guests.

"You two are really thoughtful to have a wedding at a time like this. We've known each other for a while, so I can't come empty-handed. This is a big gift for you. I hope you like it."

With arms outstretched, ripples spread through the air. At this moment, even the ministers stopped eating raw meat, frowning and staring intently at the sky.

"It seems we can't ignore this anymore."

With a swift motion, Bud ripped off his cloak, gave Lin Yu a meaningful look, and then turned his gaze back to the sky, where figures were now everywhere!

"Enemy attack! Guards, prepare for action!"

With a loud shout from Bud, the guests present instantly fell into chaos, and the guards hidden around rushed out. This wedding was the highest-level wedding in the empire, and the core of the entire empire had gathered here. If anything unexpected happened, the foundation of the empire would be shaken!

"Fire!"

A general of the Imperial Guard directed his troops, armed with firearms, to fire into the sky. The level of individual combat power in this world was so high that although firearms existed, they were basically standard equipment for grunts, only useful for long-range attacks, and completely ineffective in high-level battlefields.

However, aside from the agents, those who could be transformed into corpse puppets by Collint were all among the world's top combat forces, and ordinary firearms simply could not be effective!

"They're just ants. I've turned most of the agents into corpse puppets. Let me play with you for a bit!"

With a wave of his hand, Corinth unleashed a massive attack on a vast array of corpse puppets, engulfing the entire capital city. From the moment Corinth appeared, this battle was destined to far exceed all expectations!

"Looks like we'll have to wait until next time."

Lin Yu turned his head and looked at Esdeath. There was some distance between them, so they couldn't hear each other talking, but Esdeath understood what Lin Yu meant.

"To let you escape this predicament."

Esdeath was very unhappy, extremely unhappy. She also moved her lips, but although she said that, the two smiled at each other and turned their attention back to the sky. For the two of them, the wedding itself was not important at all. Esdeath was only angry because Collint had ruined her mood.

"Let's divide the battlefield. We can't let this guy turn the capital into his home ground."

Lin Yu whispered something to the person next to him.

"Even if we're separated, what about the remaining people..."

"We don't need to worry about those things; this empire isn't that fragile!"

The pleasant voice was interrupted by Lin Yu before it could finish speaking. The owner of the voice gave an indifferent "hmm," and a hazy blue light quickly enveloped most of the figures in the sky. The next moment, the overwhelming number of figures, along with Lin Yu and Esdeath, vanished from their spot...
