In this small tavern in the Imperial Capital, guests arrived in an endless stream, and business was quite good.
However, there were two tables of rather unusual guests inside.
At one table sat Tatsumi and Leone, facing each other. At this moment, Leone was vividly describing something to Tatsumi, who, being inexperienced, listened in complete bewilderment.
The other table was occupied by Uchiha Madara and Sayo.
At this time, Uchiha Madara and Sayo's expressions were entirely different.
Sayo's position allowed her to clearly see Tatsumi and Leone's situation, leaving her utterly speechless.
It was precisely because she saw everything so clearly that Sayo was quite angry.
Tatsumi, that idiot! To be so easily charmed by this big-chested woman, he's truly beyond saving!
And this busty woman! Dressed so revealingly and boldly, she's certainly not a good woman. From her appearance, she clearly intends to swindle Tatsumi out of his money!
How hateful! There are so many rich people in the Imperial Capital, why doesn't she go after a big spender instead of Tatsumi!?
Sayo expressed that she was absolutely not angry because she was jealous of Leone's bust size. She was utterly indignant!
Sayo's grinding teeth and furious expression were fully taken in by Uchiha Madara, who sat across from her. He found it quite amusing.
Since Uchiha Madara was sitting with his back to Tatsumi and Leone, he couldn't see their situation directly.
But it didn't matter, for Uchiha Madara possessed Divine Sensory Perception!
Under Uchiha Madara's Divine Sensory Perception, everything regarding Tatsumi and Leone's side appeared in minute detail within Uchiha Madara's mind.
Oh! She's truly beautiful! And her figure is sizzling. Looking at her demeanor and way of speaking, she's definitely a scorching beauty! Especially with that rule-breaking bust size, I'm afraid she should at least be a F-cup…
Cough cough… You scoundrel! What exactly are you focusing on!?
Due to the stealth effect of Uchiha Madara's Natural Chakra, even though the two of them sat so close, Leone didn't notice them. Instead, Uchiha Madara and Sayo observed her meticulously.
At the same time, Tatsumi and Leone also began to get down to business.
Leone, with a cunning smile, casually asked Tatsumi:
"So, young man, what exactly do you plan to do in the Imperial Capital?"
Finally, the key question was asked. Tatsumi, that idiot, also finally shifted his attention away from the beautiful big sister and remembered his actual purpose.
"Oh! Right! I came to the Imperial Capital this time to earn money and improve my village's life!"
"Oh… so you came to the Imperial Capital to earn money, huh…"
Leone hummed softly, thinking to herself that this fellow was quite honest and seemed like a simple, old-fashioned person.
And he also seemed to be having a hard time. Should she not swindle his money and find someone else to trick instead?
Forget it! It was rare to encounter such a big fat sheep today! She absolutely couldn't let him escape. Since the military expenses within Night Raid had been reduced, she hadn't had a good hearty meal in ages!
Besides, even if she didn't trick him, given how foolish this guy seemed, he'd be tricked by someone else sooner or later.
Rather than letting someone else trick him, it was better to benefit herself and enjoy the thrill!
What a shameless thought!
This thought flashed through Leone's mind for only a moment, then she continued to ask Tatsumi:
"Hey, little brother, how do you plan to earn money in the Imperial Capital? What are your skills?"
This question seemed to put Tatsumi on the spot a little.
"Uh… I don't really have many skills. The only thing that's decent is my swordsmanship. I want to join the army to earn money!"
"Oh… join the army, huh… Hmph… I'm afraid that won't work!"
"Huh!? Why won't it work?!"
Tatsumi's head was full of question marks. Leone smiled and explained to Tatsumi:
"The Imperial Army has conditions for recruitment. People like you, from remote villages, don't have records in the Imperial archives. Such people cannot join the army, you know!"
"What!? How could this be?! What should I do now?"
Tatsumi grew anxious and angry. Leone, also very cooperatively, put on a sly expression:
"Don't worry, young man. I just happen to have a little connection in the army. If I help you, getting you into the army will definitely be no problem!"
Tatsumi was overjoyed:
"Really?"
"Of course! However… this sort of thing requires pulling some strings, and pulling strings… requires… you know!"
Saying this, Leone rubbed her thumb and forefinger together at Tatsumi, her intention self-evident.
Seeing this gesture, Tatsumi was somewhat bewildered:
"Uh… you want money?"
"Exactly! That's it! You're quite quick, young man!"
"Hmm… if it's money, I… I can still spare some!"
Saying this, Tatsumi actually didn't suspect her at all. He directly pulled out a large money pouch and placed it in front of Leone.
Leone saw so much money, reaching out to feel it, and hearing the crisp sound inside, her eyes practically lit up:
"This much money is definitely enough! Young man! You just wait here! I'll go pull some strings in the army for you, and I'll be right back!"
And Tatsumi was still very happy, foolishly thanking Leone:
"Then I'm truly troubling you!"
Finally, Sayo, who had taken all of this in, could no longer hold back. She directly charged out and, under everyone's astonished gaze, grabbed Leone's arm, glaring at her:
"You swindler! How dare you be so blatant!"
Sayo's voice was very shrill. In an instant, everyone in the tavern looked towards them. Tatsumi, Leone, and Sayo were all stared at by the crowd!
Leone was also somewhat startled for a moment. She hadn't expected a wrench to be thrown into her plans midway.
Tatsumi was greatly surprised and stood up, asking Sayo in astonishment:
"Sayo! Why are you here?! And what exactly is going on?!"
Leone felt a surge of panic in her heart. She hadn't expected these two people to actually know each other. She had been caught red-handed!
No choice! She could only run now!
Leone's physical prowess was far beyond Sayo's. She instantly shook off Sayo, grabbed Tatsumi's money pouch, and burst out of the door!
