Chapter 226: Chapter 36: Synchronized Goals (4th update, bonus for Alliance Hierarch ’Su Xiao Chan~’)

"Yesterday at noon, I encountered the Night Raid Team. We fought, and I stabbed your sister in the heart. She didn’t die, just like that."

Black Pupil understood and nodded, continuing to munch on cookies.

"You’re strong to have actually beaten my sister."

As Black Pupil spoke, two more people entered the room.

Lan, a blonde warm-hearted man who used to be a teacher. By chance, he acquired the Imperial tool: Wandering Mosstima, a pair of feather imperial tools capable of flight and shooting feathers.

The other was Dr. Fashion, a scientist with a tendency towards homosexuality, who loves chasing fashion, with an Imperial tool called God’s Hand·Perfectionist, capable of multiplying the precision of his fingers’ movements by a hundred times.

Dr. Fashion was strong in scientific research but somewhat overestimated his combat abilities, blindly confident in challenging the entire Night Raid Team in the original story, which led to his tragic death.

In the meeting room, there were six seats, and now all six people had gathered.

The six people were Su Xiao, Will, Black Pupil, Boris, Dr. Fashion, and Lan.

With the Three Beast Soldiers dead, this was the new Anbu of the Esdeath Army, primarily established to target the Night Raid Team.

After everyone arrived, Boris stood up and walked out of the meeting room, then returned with several cups of tea.

It was then that Boris revealed his personality, first apologizing to everyone, as the oldest, he had not spoken a word until now.

Boris placed a cup of tea in front of Su Xiao, nodded to him, and said, "Please take care of me," to which Su Xiao nodded in response.

Looking beyond the door, he sensed Esdeath’s aura; the female General had been hiding there for quite a while.

Bam!

The door was pushed open roughly, and Esdeath, wearing a mask, walked in.

"What are you all doing here?"

Esdeath growled lowly; five of the six present stood up, and Su Xiao yawned. This was Esdeath testing the newcomers; he didn’t consider himself a newcomer.

"Hey, hey, we were called to gather here..."

Will was the first to step forward, a simple boy from the fishing village.

Bam.

Esdeath lifted her leg and kicked Will, sending him flying several flips, and Boris, noticing this, also rushed forward.

But without his Imperial tool nearby, Boris was naturally knocked to the ground.

The remaining three didn’t move; Lan’s character was relatively steady, and he vaguely guessed something.

Dr. Fashion and Black Pupil recognized Esdeath; both were in armies near the Imperial Capital.

They didn’t fight Esdeath, but that didn’t mean Esdeath wouldn’t take the initiative to attack.

Esdeath, unarmed and without using her Imperial tool’s ice ability, began to engage in close combat with the three.

In less than a minute, Lan followed in Will’s footsteps, and Dr. Fashion, with even weaker combat strength usually, was quickly taken down, leaving only Black Pupil.

"Aren’t you going to make a move?"

Black Pupil looked at Su Xiao; this girl was quite shrewd.

"You guys handle it yourselves..."

Before Su Xiao finished speaking, Esdeath kicked at him.

With one hand, he grabbed the Dragon Slash on the meeting table and flipped backward to escape.

"Heh~ Slacking off is indeed a good habit."

Esdeath moved to charge at Su Xiao, but she neither carried a weapon nor used her Imperial tool’s ice abilities.

Su Xiao raised the sheathed Dragon Slash, and Esdeath’s footsteps halted.

"Too serious, really a headache, your character flaw is a bit hard to correct for now."

Esdeath didn’t charge forward again; she knew if Su Xiao drew his sword, she wouldn’t gain any advantage. Moreover, she had already ordered Su Xiao to get serious, but he got too serious to the point of drawing his sword.

Looking around, Esdeath knew testing to this extent was enough. These new subordinates weren’t weak even without using Imperial tools.

Esdeath removed her mask and looked at the people in the meeting room with a smile in her eyes.

’You all performed well.’

The people in the room were shocked when they saw Esdeath.

"General Esdeath!"

Upon hearing this title, the lying Will was quite devastated, as his boss wasn’t quite normal either.

"Everyone, change into formal wear, I’ll take you to meet the Emperor, then we’ll have a party."

Esdeath tossed aside the mask in her hands.

"General, I may not be able to meet the Emperor for a while."

Su Xiao spoke, and Esdeath looked at Su Xiao inquisitively.

"About last night, I killed one of the Chancellor’s men."

Esdeath understood.

"Yes, that’s indeed the case. But that was well done, participate in the gathering afterward."

"Hmm."

Su Xiao sat in the meeting room watching the six people walk away.

Now he could freely enter and exit the Royal Palace, but the timing wasn’t right to complete the mainline task; the situation wasn’t chaotic enough.

First, he needed to muddy the waters before taking action. The Empire’s Contractors and the Night Raid Team’s Contractors hadn’t moved, which required caution.

Su Xiao began to meticulously plan in his mind; perhaps he needed to temporarily leave the Royal Palace for a few days, both to muddy the waters and to gather the Imperial tools required for the design blueprint. If the plan proceeded smoothly, both could be done simultaneously.

After returning with the other five to see the Little Emperor, Esdeath held a small party at her place that night. Though called a party, it was merely a meal, allowing new members to familiarize themselves with each other. The food was fish brought by Will, and it was exceptionally delicious.

During the meal, Su Xiao witnessed Black Pupil’s protective food nature. If it was food she liked, and anyone dared to eat it, she’d stare at them with her bright eyes.

The Hunter Troop was established today with seven members, led by Esdeath, and its main target was the Night Raid Team.

After establishing the Hunter Troop, Esdeath didn’t immediately assign tasks but instead gave all members a few days off to familiarize themselves with the Imperial Capital, facilitating future actions.

After dinner, Su Xiao visited The Third Shadow Department. With the Three Beast Soldiers dead, he had abruptly become their leader, an unexpected surprise.

Of course, The Third Shadow Department’s people didn’t quite respect Su Xiao, but he didn’t care; all he needed were some data.

...

Around eight that night, Su Xiao went to a restaurant, ordered some food and drink, and sat down, seeming to enjoy a solitary drink.

His target was the owner of the grocery store opposite, not intending to kill him but to monitor.

The prolonged surveillance began, as Su Xiao meticulously sensed each guest the grocery store owner interacted with until, before closing, the owner entertained a middle-aged woman.

"Mrs. An Qi, what do you need?"

"The salt at home has run out."

"I see, we got some good salt in recently..."

The two made small talk, but Su Xiao’s focus wasn’t on their conversation; it was on the inadvertent gestures between Mrs. An Qi and the store owner that he valued.

Five minutes later, Mrs. An Qi left, and Su Xiao also left the restaurant.

With Su Xiao’s tracking ability, Mrs. An Qi, an ordinary housewife, couldn’t detect him at all.

Mrs. An Qi returned home to cook for her husband and son, an activity Su Xiao observed from the rooftop across the street.

Around one a.m., Mrs. An Qi hurriedly left home.

A smile appeared on the corner of Su Xiao’s mouth on the rooftop; his luck wasn’t bad; he identified the right person after following four targets.

Mrs. An Qi walked through the streets, frequently looking around. Confirming no one was following, she headed towards the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.

Su Xiao trailed Mrs. An Qi from a distance; his target this time wasn’t simple and required a cautious approach.

Mrs. An Qi met with a man in black on the outskirts, exchanged a few hurried words, and then separated, with the man running swiftly into the forest.

Su Xiao chose to forgo following Mrs. An Qi and instead tracked the man in black.

Thus began a patient pursuit, as the man in black met others, with Su Xiao switching target to one after another.

After two days and nine different targets, Su Xiao reached his destination, a massive ancient castle hidden deep in the forest.

This place was likely the headquarters of the Revolutionary army!

It seemed simple for Su Xiao to find the Revolutionary army’s headquarters, but in the World of Crimson, when it came to tracking ability, he was undoubtedly top-notch.
