Seele stuck out her little tongue, her expression quite adorable.

******

A dozen minutes later...

"Hmm~"

As Belle gradually woke up under Lily's fanning and 'cooling' care, the first thing she saw was...

"You're awake."

"!"

The rabbit boy trembled with fright.

There he saw his own leader sitting to the side, looking at him with a smile.

It was... clearly not an expression meant to scare people, but it looked particularly terrifying at that moment.

For a time...

"That... um... commander?"

"Bell, I have a very important task for me. After thinking it over, I feel that I can only entrust it to you to complete. That's the only way I can feel at ease."

Under the trembling gaze of the rabbit-like boy, Ling Shu directly grabbed him by the throat... cough, no.

The latter put his arm around the shoulder of the timid little brother, his smile becoming even brighter.

"Tomorrow, Seele is going shopping with Freya, the chief goddess of Orario's 'strongest faction'."

"I think you should stay with her around the clock and protect Seele's personal safety."

"Can it be done?"

The words had barely left his mouth...

"Uh~"

The task Ling Shu gave seemed straightforward.

Protecting the safety of one's own deity... this is indeed something that members should do.

but……

"They say it's for security, but really it's just about carrying bags, isn't it?"

The boy did know how to make connections.

"It's pretty simple... probably."

He thought about it for a moment.

then……

"Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely complete the mission."

That would be wonderful!

Ling Shu patted Bell on the back forcefully, causing the young man to cough.

At this moment, precisely because the rabbit boy hadn't seen Ling Shu's face, he hadn't noticed anything at all...

The latter's facial expression was terrifying.

His face silently conveyed the message, "How could I be the only one suffering? You're not getting away either."

Even Seele, who was standing not far away, showed a look of pity... yet also of great expectation.

As for Lily...

"..."

She knew nothing and saw nothing.

Having spent so much time navigating the complexities of the Soma Familia, this little girl already knew how to read people's expressions and moods.

at the moment……

"Bell-sama, good luck."

Lily clasped her hands together and said, "I will pray for you."

******

The party that evening did not last very long.

Because it was late at night, Ling Shu had other things to do.

That is: to completely destroy the 'Golden Continent' casino.

Speaking of which...

"For the past few years, I've been hoping the storm would pass... I was wondering why people still remembered my old name. It turns out there have always been imposters causing trouble outside."

"Meow wants to go too! If those two bastards can't come up with a billion Fali, they should just disappear into thin air, meow!"

This afternoon, Lunova and Chloe also saw the live broadcast of the 'War Game' and naturally knew that two people had impersonated them.

Both Black Fist and Black Cat were extremely displeased by this.

So, tonight, in order to raid the 'Golden Continent' casino, they all changed out of their shop assistant uniforms, disguised themselves, and went with Ling Shu to join in the fun.

Incidentally, Allen's sister, Anya, originally wanted to join in the trouble.

But this idiot... Ling Shu felt that she might suddenly burst into laughter while sneaking around, making her completely unsuitable for covert operations. Therefore, he could only ask Liu to forcibly leave her at the "Abundant Mistress" shop.

As for Mia's mother... with Xiangling around, she wouldn't care about Ling Shu's frequent "kidnapping" behavior anymore.

Especially after hearing about the sordid inside story of the 'Golden Continent' casino... well, if it were before, she might have personally intervened.

And it was on this very night...

The headquarters of the Ganesha Familia, the 'Urban Guard,' received an anonymous letter.

The letter detailed that the current owner of the 'Golden Continent' casino is not the real Terry Serbantis.

Furthermore, she also listed all the crimes that 'Ted,' the casino swindler, had committed in the past, which Ryu knew about.

It's worth noting that Ryu was present when the Astrea Familia spared the latter.

Now that she has discovered that her former god's compassion has been taken for granted, the useless fairy is furious.

Honestly, if Anya hadn't been making a fuss, she would have gone along to beat up that criminal.

Of course... perhaps, for Ryu now, there are other reasons, and she feels that she is no longer worthy to punish evil in the name of 'justice'.

But she strongly supports Ling Shu's actions.

So, a few hours later...

The 'Golden Continent' casino was shut down by the Ganesha Familia. The leader of the guild, Shakti Farma, the 'Staff of Ganesha,' directly used the 'lock-picking medicine' to confirm the identity of the imposter 'Ted' and formally imprisoned him.

The two men who impersonated "Black Cat" and "Black Fist" also ended up in jail after being thoroughly beaten up by Chloe and Lunova.

Before they went in, they only felt...

"We shouldn't have gotten involved in the affairs of the Frigga Familia. That bastard Chanis really screwed us over."

It seems they have no remorse whatsoever and still think that their misfortune was just 'bad luck'.

So……

"Although this is a bit of a hassle to do, but... Chloe, are you sure they can only live for three more days at most?"

"Of course, meow~"

As expected of a former top assassin, Black Cat's skill with poison is unparalleled.

The time was approximately 3:30 AM.

Now, Ling Shu, Koro, and Lunova, who have finished their "work," are gathered on the edge of a tall building near the "Golden Continent" casino, watching the members of the Ganesha Familia below release the beautiful women that Ted had kidnapped.

Shakti, the Lv.5 female leader, is upright and trustworthy.

Next, she will make proper arrangements for her subordinates to send those women back to their hometowns one by one.

If they are homeless, we will help them find suitable and 'proper' jobs.

At the very least, Shakti would never send those women to the pleasure quarters.

And the culprits who persecuted these women in the past...

"The poison that the cat concocted is colorless and odorless, and it will slowly corrode your stomach and intestines when ingested. You'll definitely die a very painful death!"

When Chloe smiled with her eyes narrowed, she revealed sharp teeth beneath her lips, giving her an unusually sinister look.

This is her once-hidden 'true face'.

However, I never expected that years later, when I returned to my old ways, I would use 'assassination' to save people and 'punish the wicked'.

And the person who caused all these changes is right before our eyes...

"I really want to 'eat' him."

This chapter has not been approved.

As we all know, while adorable cats are cute and easy to like, they are essentially... a predatory species that are constantly growing towards becoming 'super hunters'.

Therefore, their claws, fangs, and even their furry ears and soft paw pads are all designed to end the lives of their prey more quickly.

The 'after-dinner activity' that Ling Shu arranged on the spur of the moment tonight went very smoothly.

Leaving aside Chloe, who briefly returned to her old profession as an assassin, Lunova, as a top-notch 'bounty hunter,' has ample experience in what she should do during her involvement in related events.

In short, after the three of them—one man and two women—worked together and easily got the important business done…

"As for the Soma Familia, all the subsequent trivial matters have been settled."

After separating from Chloe and Lunova... well, strictly speaking, after the former was forcibly dragged away by the latter, Ling Shu, who was walking alone towards Daedalus Street, happened to receive a mental communication from the cat (Diona).

Basically, the latter reported on the current situation and arrangements on her end.

First, this afternoon, after Diona successfully took over as the leader of the Soma Familia, she ordered that the good-for-nothing Chanis be locked up in the Soma Familia's self-made dungeon.

That place used to be both a place to calm down and sober up members who had fallen into the trap of "divine alcoholism," and a damp, filthy, and unpleasant solitary confinement cell used to punish those who disobeyed Chanis's orders.
