"Master, this is Night Raid's base."
Looking at the building ahead, Akame's expression was a bit complex.
Thinking about bringing the Empire's master here, she still felt a little strange inside.
She thought for a moment and said, "Master, to avoid misunderstandings, can Esdeath and the others wait here?"
If she really brought these few.
Once a conflict broke out.
Night Raid's comrades would probably suffer.
"You may."
Linde nodded and instructed, "You three, wait here."
Upon hearing this, Esdeath and the other two naturally had no objections.
Inside the base.
Leone was drinking heartily, surrounded by empty bottles.
"Leone, you can drink, but can you please not dress so provocatively?"
Najenda covered her forehead, sighing helplessly.
"What does it matter?"
Leone burped, "Anyway, Night Raid was just formed, and there are only three of us, no men at all."
"If you ask me, Boss, you should take yours off too. It's so hot today."
Hearing this, Najenda looked down, feeling a little tempted.
She had to admit.
It seemed to make some sense.
Creak—
The door was pushed open.
Akame's figure walked in.
"Akame, you're back. What are you planning to make today...?"
Leone's words trailed off, and she froze.
Hmm?
Why did Akame bring a man back?
No, wait.
Leone sobered up a bit and instinctively crossed her arms.
"Red, very tasteful."
Leone: "..."
She quickly moved her hands down, completely covering herself.
"Not bad, quite substantial."
Linde's gaze quickly moved upwards, staring intently at the 'upper spheres' that had lost their 'defenses'.
Leone could only raise her arms again to block her front, then the 'lower defenses' were lost.
She gritted her teeth, "Have you stared enough?"
Linde shook his head frankly, "No."
Leone: "..."
Where did this guy even come from?
He's too shameless.
"Leone, here."
Najenda quickly handed her jacket over.
"What a pity."
Linde shook his head regretfully.
Hearing this, Leone's mouth twitched.
She changed her clothes at the fastest speed, her eyes already sharp: "You, fellow, you're really bold."
"It seems you need a lesson."
Bang!
The ground trembled.
Leone pushed off with her legs, leaving afterimages, and pounced on Linde like a lion.
But!
A pair of crimson eyes flashed into her vision.
Hmm?
Leone's pupils constricted, then her figure flickered, leaving another afterimage, reappearing several meters away.
"Akame, what do you mean?"
Leone said furiously, "Is he your man, that you're protecting him so much?"
Akame stood in front of Linde and apologized, "I'm sorry, I can't let you attack my master."
"???"
Najenda and Leone's eyes widened when they heard Akame's address for Linde.
What... what kind of address is that?
Is this kind of 'play' popular among couples now?
They exchanged glances, both unable to help but murmur.
What's going on?
Akame just went out hunting, and how did she come back with a man?
A hidden lover?
Leone stomped her foot, huffing, "Even if he's your man, it's not okay."
"This guy is too much, at least let me punch him."
Akame shook her head firmly, "No."
Leone's eyelid twitched, and she gritted her teeth, "If you're a man, don't hide behind a woman."
"Tsk tsk... I can't pretend I didn't hear that."
Linde stepped past Akame, a half-smile on his face, "Now that I'm out, what do you plan to do?"
Seeing this, Akame opened her mouth, then sighed.
Never mind.
She tried her best.
"Good, it seems you're still a man."
Leone's eyes lit up, and she shot forward like a meteor, charging towards Linde.
Her pale fingers clenched, and she punched at Linde.
"This level should make him hurt for a long time, but not get injured..."
Just as Leone thought this, her pupils constricted sharply, and her fist stopped dead.
Because Linde's right hand, she didn't know when, had already been raised.
Its speed was so fast, it was as if it had been there all along.
Leone was startled, instinctively wanting to pull back.
But!
As soon as she moved, a huge force came from her arm, and her world spun.
Bang!
The room shook, and the wall was already caved in by Leone's impact, forming a large pit.
"This..."
Najenda's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
Although Leone had been careless.
But this man was really strong.
"Good, worthy of Akame's man. It seems he's not just a pretty face."
Leone grinned, and an astonishing wild aura emanated from her.
"In that case, I don't need to hold back my strength."
As her voice fell, all of Leone's muscles tensed, activating the power of her Imperial Arm, [Hundred Beast King Transformation: Lion King].
Boom!
The wall shattered.
Leone's short hair grew, and beast ears emerged from her hair, as if she had transformed into a beast-human.
The next moment.
Her figure had vanished from her original spot.
The speed was incredible.
It was several times stronger than before.
Almost instantly.
She was already within arm's reach of Linde.
She had succeeded.
A smile appeared on Leone's face.
"Is that all?"
At this moment, her whole body suddenly felt heavy.
A playful voice entered her ears.
"It seems you're the one who needs a lesson."
Linde's voice echoed like rolling thunder throughout the entire room.
Leone's body stiffened, and she couldn't help but tremble all over.
She felt as if her cells were instinctively terrified.
The next moment.
Her body became heavy, and with a thud, she was prostrate on the ground, unable to move at all.
Akame's eyes widened.
This was her master's magic?
So... so terrifying.
