"...So...that's how it is..."

After digesting the massive amount of information, the shock on the two sisters' faces was gradually replaced by a deep, absolute awe and submission.

They looked at each other again.

Then, at the same time, they knelt on one knee and bowed their proud heads deeply to the man who had given them new life and a future.

"--Owner."

"...No way?!" Leone stared at the surreal scene before her, her feline eyes wide with disbelief. "Akame...she just willingly called someone else 'master'?!"

“…His eyes.” Najendan’s face was solemn like never before. “That must be a kind of control ability that we cannot understand, that directly affects the mental or soul level.”

Faced with everyone's suspicion and vigilance, Gu Chuan simply smiled faintly.

"I do not control your thoughts."

He took the initiative to clarify. His relaxed tone made it seem as if he were merely stating a trivial matter.

"I simply showed them a broader, more real world."

As he spoke, he casually raised his hand.

A gentle yet irresistible invisible current instantly and gracefully lifted Akame and Kurohime, who were still kneeling on the ground.

That effortless composure, displaying absolute power in the gentlest way, allowed everyone present to once again deeply appreciate the man's unfathomable and terrifying strength.

"Alright, that's about enough for things here. It's time to wrap this up."

Gu Chuan then changed the subject, turning his gaze to March 7th, Nami, and the others who were already unable to contain themselves.

"We should go back too." (Li's)

"Hmph," Nami was the first to let out a soft, dissatisfied snort, "You're having a lot of fun all by yourself."

That slightly jealous, coquettish tone gave everyone present a hint of gossip.

"Oh?" Gu Chuan's lips curled into a mocking smile. "What? Are you angry that I didn't invite you to come along?"

"Who...who wants to be with you! You idiot!"

Nami's cheeks instantly turned bright red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She retorted somewhat incoherently.

Right there in the relaxed and warm atmosphere, a calm and rational voice suddenly rang out.

It is Najenda.

She slowly walked up to Gu Chuan, her sharp single eye filled with an unprecedentedly serious and earnest expression.

She, representing the entire NghtRad, asked that most core and fundamental question.

"—Your Excellency Gu Chuan."

"May I ask, what is your opinion on this so-called empire, which has long been utterly corrupt from its very roots?"

178 The Price of God

Najendan's serious, pointed question made the atmosphere in the room, which had just eased, tense again.

She tried to manipulate the man's heart with words. She described in detail the empire's corruption, from the debauchery of the highest nobility to the callous disregard for human life by local officials. She depicted the people's suffering and struggle under oppressive rule, and the blood and sacrifices shed by the revolutionary army for their ideals. She tried to evoke Gu Chuan's empathy and inspire his willingness to take action with this weighty moral message, enough to ignite the anger of any person with a conscience.

However, her infectious "verbal persuasion" was completely interrupted halfway through by Gu Chuan's casual remark.

"not interested."

Gu Chuan didn't even look at her, but just kept teasing the girl next to him who was curiously examining the demon sword "Murasame" in Akame's hand.

Whether your empire is decaying or reborn is none of my concern. My mission is complete. I have no sense of belonging to this country, nor do I see any benefit in it that warrants my involvement.

His undisguised and naked utilitarianism instantly choked Najendana, who had prepared a whole host of righteous and inflammatory words.

This revolutionary leader, known for her charismatic and inspiring words, experienced utter defeat for the first time. A hint of frustration crept onto her face.

But she didn't give up.

After a brief silence and reflection, she changed her strategy.

"...Then, Your Excellency Gu Chuan," she asked in a deep voice, "if there are sufficient benefits, would you be willing to help us overthrow this corrupt empire?"

"Oh?" This time Gu Chuan finally raised his head, his golden eyes looking at her with interest. "Of course I won't refuse to do something that is both profitable and within my capabilities."

Having received an affirmative answer, Najendan's hope was rekindled. She nervously pressed on, "And what price do you want?"

"Money? Power? Or rare treasures?" Gu Chuan laughed, a laugh filled with absolute contempt for worldly things. "Those things mean nothing to me."

He slowly rose from his seat. His golden, divine eyes, seemingly containing the entire universe, slowly swept over all the NghtRad members present.

Akame, Hill, Leone, Mine, Chelsea...

Finally, his gaze fell on Najenda's handsome face, which appeared somewhat stiff due to nervousness.

He slowly stated his conditions in a tone that was both playful and undeniably devilish.

"—If I were to intervene."

"The price is that all female members of Nght鸸依三儛七究锍（二）Rad will belong to me."

“Of course,” he added, “I don’t want men.”

"I won't agree!"

The first to vehemently retort was Lubbock! His usually frivolous boyish face was now flushed red with extreme anger!

The only reason he joined NghtRad and was willing to risk his life fighting in this darkness was because of the woman named "Najendan" whom he had deeply loved since their first meeting!

He would never allow anyone to lay a finger on the one and only goddess in his heart!

However, the female members present fell into a complex and eerie silence.

Red Eyes and Black Eyes didn't hesitate at all. They simply walked silently to Gu Chuan's side, using the most direct and silent action to show their allegiance.

Najenda looked at Lubbock's face, which was slightly distorted by anger and jealousy, and a complex emotion flashed in her sharp single eye.

She spoke slowly, her voice sincere yet firm.

“Lubbock, they all belong to themselves. I cannot make any decisions for them.”

"But personally speaking..."

She took a deep breath and met Gu Chuan's scrutinizing gaze, which was full of amusement.

"I am willing to accept your terms."

Upon hearing this, Lubbock was struck dumb.

He stared incredulously at the woman for whom he was willing to give everything, her beautiful face filled with unwavering resolve.

In the end, all the anger and resentment on his face turned into the deepest sense of powerlessness and despair.

Without a word, he turned and left the heartbreaking house, utterly dejected.

Brand watched his lonely figure, sighed helplessly, and stood up as well.

"...It seems this place is indeed not suitable for a roughneck like me to stay."

He said that and then turned and left.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became incredibly subtle.

“…Why do I feel like,” March Seven whispered in Gu Chuan’s ear, “Gu Chuan, the way you looked just now, you resembled a super villain who was forcibly taking a woman away…”

Listening to her whispered complaints, Gu Chuan couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to roughly rub her soft pink hair.

"What are you saying, little girl?" he explained seriously. "I'm just doing this for fun."

"What I value is their extensive combat experience as top-tier assassins. There may be missions in the future that require their assistance."

Of course, what he didn't say aloud was his true inner thought—

Yes, appearance is also a very important factor to consider.

"Hmph," Nami poured cold water on the situation at the wrong time, "Don't assume everyone is like you. The reason I agreed to those unequal treaties with you was because you saved my family and my homeland. That irreplaceable bond is immeasurable."

"But what about them?" She glanced at the NghtRad members whose faces were still filled with hesitation and struggle. "For an empire that is already corrupt and decadent, for a vague revolutionary ideal, are they willing to sell everything?"

"—Excuse my bluntness, but I don't think it's worth it at all."

Nami's words are realistic and cruel.

Her words also resonated deeply with Leone, Mine, and others.

yes……

Is it really worth paying such a heavy price for a country that is rotten to the core?

Moreover, although the man in front of us looks very strong, is he really strong enough to rival the entire empire?

After all, they had not personally witnessed the miraculous, overwhelming battle that took place on the roof of the palace.

Just as everyone was caught in an atmosphere of silence and skepticism—

A cold, emotionless, and flat voice suddenly broke the silence.

It’s Akame.

She simply looked quietly at her hesitant companions, and then spoke in a calm tone as if stating a very simple fact.

"Actually, our master doesn't need to negotiate any conditions with us at all."

“He could have just as easily turned us two sisters into his possessions with his power that we couldn’t comprehend.”

"The reason he made those conditions..."

She paused, her usually calm red eyes glancing at the man beside her who wore a look of satisfaction that said, "This child is teachable."

"—It's simply because he doesn't like to force people to do things they don't want to do."

Akame's seemingly simple yet thunderous explanation was like a depth charge dropped into a lake, stirring up a tidal wave in the hearts of all NghtRad members.

"He doesn't like to force people to do things..."

Leone, Mine, Hill, and Chelsea repeatedly pondered this sentence in their hearts, and then recalled Gu Chuan's godlike method of making Brand and Lubbock, two powerful Imperial Arms users, instantly lose their fighting ability with a casual gesture.

A chilling yet crystal-clear fact surfaced in their minds.

—What he said is true.

He truly possesses the absolute power to turn all of them into puppets at any time.

But he didn't do that.

He chose a seemingly absurd and "mischievous" way that, to some extent, gave them absolute "respect"—transaction.

The hostility and vigilance that arose from his domineering declaration that resembled "forcibly taking a woman" quietly dissipated at that moment.

Instead, there is a more complex, mixed-and-matched style, imbued with awe, curiosity, and a touch of solemnity that compels serious consideration.

"Hmph, an interesting man."

The first to break the silence was Leone. She rubbed her long, fluffy blonde hair with her sharp claws adorned with the Lion King Imperial Arms, her sharp, feline eyes staring directly at Gu Chuan, her tone casual yet her stance clear.

"My reason for joining NghtRad is simple. I just can't stand those disgusting nobles who act like gods and slaughter civilians and children at will."

"So my conditions are very simple." (Liu Yueyi)

She grinned at Gu Chuan, revealing two small tiger teeth full of wildness and charm.

"—As long as you can completely wipe out every single evil noble in this empire who has committed unforgivable crimes."

"Then I'll sell my life, Leone, to you."

"Sure." Gu Chuan's answer was crisp and decisive, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. "It's not difficult."

"Heh." Leone chuckled without saying a word. Although she didn't say anything more, her eyes still held an obvious hint of suspicion.

Next up is Chelsea.

The playful orange-haired girl, who always had a lollipop in her mouth, looked unusually serious and earnest at this moment.

"I was once just like those naive young girls, harboring the most beautiful fantasies about the capital city, a place full of prosperity and dreams. I thought that as long as I worked hard, I could enter the so-called..."

High society.
