In the hall, Sora lay on his exclusive wicker chair, his eyes slightly closed, enjoying the massage from a certain catgirl behind him, his right hand gently stroking Sheele-chan, who was nestled in his arms like a docile kitten.
Feeling that her life had been completely dimmed, she had actually become this bastard's "pet"! Just thinking about those hateful guys coming to touch her ears and grab her tail every day made Leone's teeth itch with anger.
Although her power had increased many times, it was still nothing compared to this group of perverts. Forget about revenge, it was good enough if she wasn't bullied.
Secretly vowing in her heart, she must cultivate hard from now on, and then one day she would get back at these guys!
However, before that, she should just endure and serve this bastard well first…
Leone still clearly remembered the miserable state she was in a few days ago when she disobeyed this guy, being tortured to death and then revived, which even now made her feel ashamed and indignant to the point of wanting to kill herself!
"Najenda, I have a very important mission to give you."
At this time, Sora didn't know the complex feelings of the catgirl behind him. He opened his eyes and said to Najenda, who was walking in.
"Hmph, I'm busy! Let Sheele go, she needs to start training."
Snorting lightly, looking at this hopeless guy, Najenda said expressionlessly.
Najenda didn't believe that Sora really had any important mission to give her. Besides, this guy had raised so many women, any one of them should be able to complete the so-called important mission. She didn't have that leisure.
"Heh… what if I said it was about the Revolutionary Army? Are you still busy?"
Understanding this woman's temper, Sora raised an arc at the corner of his mouth and said with a wicked smile.
"The Revolutionary Army? You want to attack the Revolutionary Army!"
Her expression changed suddenly, and Najenda exclaimed.
Although she had made a contract with Sora between the Empire and the Revolutionary Army, the righteous Najenda naturally leaned towards the Revolutionary Army. Hearing Sora's words, she couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. Could it be that this guy was going to attack the Revolutionary Army?
Najenda knew that if this guy really wanted her to deal with the Revolutionary Army, she couldn't resist. But if possible, she really didn't want to become an enemy of those revolutionaries who were fighting for the people…
"Ah, the time is ripe, it's time to deal with them."
Appreciating the shocked expression on the face of this former Imperial general, Sora didn't hide it and replied directly.
"Do you really want to fight against the Revolutionary Army who are fighting for the people for the sake of this already corrupt Empire? They are just fighting for their right to survive, why can't you sympathize with them!"
With a hint of anger in her tone, Najenda would never agree with Sora's actions of helping the wicked!
"Hehe, Najenda, they are not related to me, why should I sympathize with them?"
"Moreover, the Empire gives me power and salary, what has the Revolutionary Army given me? Sending assassins to assassinate me? No matter how you look at it, I should stand on the side of the Empire rather than the Revolutionary Army you mentioned who are fighting for the people, right?!"
Raising a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, Sora replied with a sneer.
"You…"
Seeing Sora actually answering her so impolitely, Najenda's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of grievance in her heart. If she wasn't strong-willed, tears would have already welled up in her eyes.
Leone, who was behind him, cursed in her heart that he was a scumbag, even she, a female rogue, knew that the Revolutionary Army was righteous and the Empire was evil!
Unlike Leone, who was satisfied with her self-righteousness, Sheele-chan, who was lying in Sora's arms, didn't bother to care about the Empire and the Revolutionary Army. She only knew that she was Sora's tool, and she would do whatever Sora told her to do!
"Alright, alright, I was wrong just now. Looking so aggrieved, one wonders what benefits the Revolutionary Army has ever given you."
Though he liked to tease Najenda from time to time, seeing her looking so aggrieved made Sora feel bad about continuing. He waved his hand, his tone a bit sour.
"Hmph, someone like you will never understand."
Hearing Sora apologize, Najenda felt a bit better and retorted with a cold snort.
"Well, I'm too lazy to argue with you about these useless things."
"Although the task I gave you is related to the Revolutionary Army, I never said it was to deal with them for the sake of the Empire. You're just overthinking things."
Looking at the girl's indifferent expression, Sora rolled his eyes, speechless.
"Not helping the Empire deal with the Revolutionary Army? Then what do you want me to do?"
Hearing Sora's words, she felt a sense of relief. Looking at this guy who was clearly deliberately teasing her, Najenda retorted with an annoyed expression.
"Hehe, I want you to join the Revolutionary Army and then bring them under your control!"
"What do you think, Najenda? With your talent and prestige as the Empire's top female general for a millennium, this task should be very simple, right?"
A strange arc formed at the corner of his mouth as Sora revealed his true purpose.
"What?!!!"
"You want me to be… a spy?"
Her eyes widened, Najenda looked incredibly shocked. Was this guy out of his mind?
"A spy? Well, it's kind of like that, but I don't want you to steal any information or anything. I want you to control them! Did you hear me clearly, you idiot woman!"
While admiring Najenda's adorable expression, Sora replied with a grin.
"No way!"
Turning her head to the side, Najenda refused without hesitation.
She was so angry that her teeth itched. She was once the Empire's top female general, and this guy actually wanted her to be a spy! And even help him seize control of the Revolutionary Army or something. How much of a bastard was this guy?!
"Oh, you're not going? Then forget it."
Looking completely unconcerned, Sora continued:
"I told you before, one day I will conquer this world. Whether it's the Empire or the Revolutionary Army, they are dispensable to me. Since you're not willing to go, I'll just wipe them all out when the time comes. I think Esdeath would be very happy, so many prey for her to entertain herself with."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Sora knew that saying these words would move this woman with a strong sense of justice!
Sure enough, the next moment—
"I'll go!!!"
Glaring fiercely at Sora Najenda gritted her teeth and said.
What did this bastard think other people's lives were?!
Najenda had no doubt that if she didn't go, he would not hesitate to attack even innocent people in the future!
"Alright, go prepare now. Take Sheele and Akame with you too, they can be of great help."
Looking completely unconcerned, Sora instead said with a smile.
Najenda gave Sora a complicated look, but didn't say anything else, and walked towards her room.
Watching Najenda's departing figure, Sora also put away the smile on his face and shook his head helplessly.
Perhaps in this woman's eyes, he really was an unpardonable, selfish, and self-serving bastard!
But, come to think of it, he, Sora seemed to be just that kind of person…
