It didn't matter if they didn't look, but the moment they did, Akame was shocked. Lin Xuan's face was extremely gloomy, and a tremendous pressure surged out of him. The people beside him, like Leone, were unable to withstand the pressure released by Lin Xuan.
"What happened, Mine?"
Najenda also walked over and asked the Mine beside her.
Mine's face was a little pale.
"The leader of the rebels just shot at him."
Hearing Mine say this, Najenda's face immediately turned bad.
She had previously told the rebels not to provoke Lin Xuan, but the rebel leader seemed to not understand human language and attacked Lin Xuan during this banquet.
"Lin Xuan, he's not one of us, you don't have to..."
Akame immediately comforted Lin Xuan. At this moment, Lin Xuan's emotions were the most important. She no longer doubted the authenticity of the chat group's power rating.
"Najenda, you have to give me an explanation! Esdeath killed our leader, he was our leader!"
The rebel deputy leader pointed at Najenda arrogantly.
Najenda wanted to kill someone at this moment. Why did he have to say this now? Didn't he see that the person sitting over there wanted to kill someone?
If what Akame said was true, everyone here, no, everyone in the Empire would have to die!
"Lin Xuan, don't be angry, okay?"
Akame pleaded with Lin Xuan softly. She had just reunited with her sister, she hadn't resolved the misunderstanding with Kurome, and everyone in Night Raid was still here.
She didn't want them to die.
"Where is the rebel base?"
Lin Xuan's face was gloomy, his voice heavy and emotionless.
But the more he was like this, the less confident Akame felt in her heart.
She would rather Lin Xuan scold her now and let it all out.
"I'll ask again, where is the rebel base? Akame, you and I are both members of the group. I've already given you a lot of face."
Lin Xuan's voice became heavier when he saw Akame didn't speak.
"The rebel base is in the northeast direction. They should be heading towards the capital now, but they are definitely on the road."
Najenda understood what Lin Xuan wanted to do. She quickly said.
Lin Xuan looked at Najenda in surprise. Apart from not being very pretty, Najenda was a very capable person.
Lin Xuan snorted coldly, his figure disappearing from the banquet.
Everyone in Night Raid looked at Najenda in bewilderment.
"It seems like a lot of people are going to die tonight. Too bad, I won't be able to see this. I really want to see the adult's true strength."
Esdeath stretched lazily, with a joyous expression on her face.
"What?"
Leone's face, which had been flushed from drinking, suddenly turned white.
"What do you mean, Esdeath? Najenda, did that person just want to kill all the rebels?"
Najenda nodded bitterly. That was most likely the case.
"That won't do! Najenda, how can he do this!"
Mine was a little panicked. They had to remember that the rebels weren't just the high-ranking officials, those drunken fools! There were countless commoners who couldn't even afford to eat!
They had done nothing wrong! Yet they were going to suffer such a fate!
"Akame, go stop him!"
"It's too late. Lin Xuan is not someone I can stop."
Akame shook her head. Her eyes were icy cold as she looked at the group who had fired the gun.
It was them, who had almost killed everyone present. Among those people were her relatives and friends!
They were almost killed because of their actions.
As for those rebels, she didn't care, to be honest. She joined Night Raid not because she wanted to avenge the rebels, but simply because Najenda invited her.
"Humph! What are you talking about? Najenda! The leader is dead. You owe us an explanation!"
"Sigh, I do owe an explanation."
Najenda sighed helplessly. This country was more corrupt than she imagined.
Perhaps, the rebels at the beginning really wanted to reform the Empire, but as their influence grew, such worms began to appear among the rebel leadership.
Hearing this, the rebel deputy leader raised his head arrogantly.
"But, Najenda, it's so many lives!"
Mine's face was a little pale, and Leone was the same. She bit her lip tightly, hoping that Najenda would save those people.
"There's nothing we can do. We can't control his thoughts. Those rebels, we... are helpless. Their only mistake was choosing the wrong leader."
As she spoke, Najenda raised her head, her eyes fixed on the rebel deputy leader, her icy gaze making the deputy leader feel a little scared.
"What do you want to do? Najenda! Don't forget that Night Raid split from our rebels!"
"Yeah, but we have different ideologies. We've already become independent. We chose the wrong side, so we have to pay the price. This price is painful, but it's not unbearable!"
Najenda's eyes gradually became firm.
"We're powerless against the rebels who are far away, but we can stop the tragedy that's about to happen here."
"Lubbock! Kill them! Kill all the rebels in the capital!"
Najenda gritted her teeth and gave the order.
Lubbock was taken aback, but he didn't ask any questions. His Imperial Arms, Cross Tail, instantly shot out several almost invisible threads.
"What? Najenda! How dare you! Aren't you afraid of our rebel army? This world should be ours! You Night Raid are ours! The world we conquer should be ours!"
The rebel deputy leader widened his eyes, looking incredulously at Najenda who had just given the order.
Unfortunately, his words had no effect on Najenda.
Lubbock, who only obeyed Najenda, naturally wouldn't listen to him.
In the blink of an eye, the furious rebel deputy leader could no longer speak. A thread stained with blood appeared in front of his neck.
"You actually... really... Najenda... you can't hold this position..."
He managed to say these words before his head rolled off his body, and his headless corpse fell to the ground.
The few of his subordinates behind him were the same.
Najenda sat on the ground as if she had lost all her strength.
