The midday sun shone through the curtains of the mansion's conference room, illuminating the two members of the Hunter Organization and Lin Yu, who sat around a long table awaiting Lin Yu's instructions.

"Captain, is there a new operation you've summoned us for?" Lan's voice broke the silence in the room.

Lin Yu nodded, his expression serious: "Last night I discovered traces of the Night Raid Force on the outskirts of the capital. More accurately, I found the defensive barrier they had set up. I didn't make any rash moves so as not to alert them. I have reason to believe that the Night Raid Force's headquarters is there, and the disappearance of Seryu and the others is very likely related to them."

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense.

Lan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Shouldn't we notify General Esdeath? This is the main base for the night raid."

"Esdeath and Will are busy dealing with the experiments left behind by Dr. Fashion, so they may not have time to spare."

"But how can the three of us fight against the entire Night Raid force?" Lan's tone revealed her worry.

Lin Yu took over the conversation, his voice filled with confidence: "Lan, you don't need to worry. Kurohime's Imperial Arms 'Yafusa' is enough to make up for our numerical disadvantage. With me added in, we are fully capable of giving Night Raid a surprise."

Although Lin Yu was unhappy that Esdeath had taken Will away, he knew it wouldn't affect him. Najenda wouldn't abandon the deal just because one person was missing.

Lan offered another suggestion: "Captain, should we bring the army with us?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "No need. This operation requires surprise. The involvement of the military might expose our whereabouts."

"Understood, Captain." Lan nodded in understanding.

"When are we leaving? I really want to see my sister."

"We'll launch a surprise attack tonight under the cover of darkness," Lin Yu decided.

Led by Lin Yu, Hei Tong and Lan quickly arrived near the site of the Night Raid.

"Is this the headquarters of the Night Raid Team? So this is where it was hidden. No wonder we didn't find it before."

Kuroko held a map in her hand, which showed the terrain of this forest.

The terrain here is extremely complex, surrounded by mountains and crisscrossed by rivers, providing natural cover for the night raiding force.

"The terrain here is really well hidden, it's quite nice," Lin Yu said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Hei Tong and Lan with a gleam in them.

Lin Yu led Hei Tong and Lan into the forest, but they quickly triggered the Cross Tail's alarm.

Lubbock, who was inside the headquarters during the night raid, immediately noticed the intruder as a user of Cross Tail.

"Boss, they're here, and it's not just Lin Yu alone." Lubbock's voice rang out in the tense atmosphere.

"What? Isn't it just Lin Yu?" Najenda, the leader of Night Raid, frowned.

“No, they are three moving targets,” Lubbock replied quickly.

Leone and the other Night Raid members' expressions turned serious. Lin Yu's sudden appearance made them wonder if he had betrayed them.

"Proceed according to the original plan and observe the situation first. If Lin Yu has indeed betrayed us, we will retreat immediately and then regroup at the temporary stronghold."

Najenda decisively issued the order.

Soon, Lin Yu and his companions arrived at the site of the night raid.

"It seems there was a fierce battle here, possibly traces left by Dr. Fashion and his team in their fight against the Night Raid."

Lan flew into the air, quickly surveyed the surrounding environment, and then landed to report.

"I understand, Lan. You're always so reliable." Lin Yu's voice carried an unusual gentleness.

"Captain, why are you suddenly saying this?" Lan was somewhat surprised.

However, at that moment, two muffled thuds broke the silence of the night.

"Bang!" x2

Lin Yu acted swiftly, and both Hei Tong and Lan fell to the ground.

He easily hoisted Kurohime onto his shoulder and carried Ran in his hand. In his opinion, these two Imperial Arms users were simply not up to par in terms of physical strength.

"It's a bit sad that one is missing, but it's not a bad deal to have two Imperial Arms." Lin Yu also took Kurome and Ran's Imperial Arms, making this trip a very fruitful one.

After receiving Lubbock's alert, the entire night raid team quickly approached Lin Yu's location.

As Najenda and her group emerged from the shadows, a sly smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

He knew that the chips for this deal were already on the table.

Lin Yu tossed the black pupil to the red pupil: "Catch this. This is your good little sister. As the older sister, if your little sister is disobedient, you can't just beat her into submission. You kill her every day, and she'll kill you in return."

"Thank you, I don't want to lose my sister either." Akame took Kurome's hand, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Her love for her sister truly transcended everything, even though this love was often overshadowed by misunderstandings and conflicts.

This is a clash between the beliefs of the capital city and the revolutionary army, and many tragic endings are caused by the difference in these two beliefs.

"And this one, he's a talented man. If he wants to solve the corruption problem from within the capital, he should be able to get along with your revolutionary army."

Lin Yu then tossed Lan to Brand. Brand was no longer of any use to him; he was just a green card character. He might as well let him keep Tatsumi company, as compensation for emotional distress.

“Nageshitan, although we are one person short, our deal is still valid.” Lin Yu’s voice echoed in the silent forest.

Najenda didn't say much. She casually tossed out a few Imperial Arms, her actions revealing a resolute determination—this concerned the Revolutionary Army's success.

Lin Yu easily caught the flying Imperial Arms, a satisfied smile appearing on his face: "Very good, Najenda, you are indeed a decisive person."

“These are all we can offer right now,” Najenda said calmly and firmly. “The other Imperial Arms and items you’ve requested can only be given to you after we overthrow the Empire’s rule, including those we already possess.”

"Boss, are we really going to give him all the Imperial Arms?" Leone couldn't help but interject, her eyes filled with worry.

“Okay, we’ve reached an agreement. Starting tonight, the Revolutionary Army can launch an attack. Esdeath inside the Imperial Capital will be handled by me, along with some hidden threats.”

Najenda didn't turn around; her gaze remained fixed on Lin Yu: "I hope you can keep your promise."

“I promise I will keep my promise,” Lin Yu replied, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

As the transaction was completed, the Night Raid members slowly disappeared into the night, while Lin Yu remained where he was, watching their departing figures with an unfathomable light in his eyes.

"I want more than just this. The Revolutionary Army? The Empire? They all obediently become my pawns."
