"Wuwuwu… You stinky old woman! You damned Taeko! You two who deserve to be struck by lightning, let me go quickly, I'm not going! I want to go home…"
Chelsea's voice was almost hoarse from shouting all the way, but these two deadheads just ignored her. She tried to sneak away again and again, but she was always caught back in a few minutes.
Chelsea was almost regretting it to death. If only she had practiced properly usually. If her body wasn't so weak, she could have left with her [Gaea Foundation] that can transform freely. How could the stinky old woman and dead Taeko keep her here!
"Chelsea, stop making noise, it's annoying!"
The indifferent Taeko didn't care, letting Chelsea make a lot of noise on her back all day long. As long as Chelsea didn't try to sneak away, the girl wouldn't be abnormal. However, Babara on the side couldn't stand it. She roared in exasperation.
At first, Babara felt pretty good watching this dead girl being so embarrassed, but this continuous day and night of nonsense really made people feel irritable. If this stinky girl wasn't her disciple, Babara would have chopped her with a knife long ago, according to her bloodthirsty and cruel personality!
Being roared at by Babara, Chelsea was stunned at first, but after only three seconds of silence, this headphone girl cried even more happily:
"Wuwuwu… You heartless stinky old woman, it's not you who's going to assassinate, of course, you don't care!"
"The opponent is the legendary strongest in the Empire, and I heard that guy has a special liking for beautiful women. He used to specialize in robbing beautiful women. If a beautiful girl as pretty and cute as me falls into his hands, she will definitely suffer all kinds of humiliation, and the ending will be extremely miserable…"
…
Watching Chelsea wipe away her tears while bragging about herself, Babara, who was still a little annoyed, had a black line on her face. Even the taciturn Taeko couldn't help but twitch her mouth slightly.
"Ahem… Chelsea, actually, you don't need to be so afraid. We're not letting you go alone. Taeko and I will assist you from the side. You have the ability to transform freely. Even if the assassination fails, there are ways to escape. There won't be any danger."
Unable to bear this dead girl anymore, Babara patiently comforted her.
"Tch, you make it sound so good. What if there's an accident?"
Chelsea wouldn't be foolish enough to believe this dead old woman's nonsense. The other party is the strongest in the Empire, and she has no other skills besides deceiving people and transforming. Chelsea knows how much she weighs!
"Hehe, Chelsea, you should have been aware of it from the moment you became an assassin. Do you think there's anything that's not dangerous?"
With a sneer, Babara continued:
"Besides, the greater the risk, the greater the reward! I don't think you know the reward the Revolutionary Army is offering this time, do you?"
Changing her tone, Babara's mouth pulled up into a strange arc.
"Uh, reward? What reward?"
Being aroused by Babara's words, Chelsea stopped crying and making noise, but asked with a curious expression.
"Taeko's and mine go without saying, naturally, they're not as much as yours."
"If this mission is completed, the Revolutionary Army promises that you won't have to accept any more orders in the future, as long as you like!"
"Moreover, the Revolutionary Army will provide you with lollipops that you can never finish eating, red tea that you can never finish drinking, and a reward of 100,000 gold coins!"
Babara's words were no less than a depth charge, which really shocked Chelsea!
As long as she likes, she doesn't have to accept any more orders, which means she's completely free. Lollipops that she can never finish eating, red tea that she can never finish drinking, these are all her favorites! And that 100,000 gold coins…
Such stimulation was too strong, the girl's pair of orange-red eyes completely turned into the shape of gold coins, bursting out with dazzling light.
100,000 gold coins! What is this concept?
Back then, Sora sold the Empire's army to Minister, that fat guy, for only 1 million gold coins. 100,000 gold coins are completely equivalent to the total assets of a wealthy family in the Empire! If it's for one person to spend, it's enough for several lifetimes of carefree days!
"Hehe… hehehe… I'm in!"
No longer struggling, nor thinking about running away, she stood up from Taeko's back, seemingly entering some strange mode, with two small nostrils puffing out hot air, Chelsea shouted with a silly smile on her face.
"…"
Looking at Chelsea, who had changed so much before and after, Taeko and Babara were both speechless for a while. But they also breathed a small sigh of relief in their hearts, as long as this dead girl agreed, they had been tormented enough these days…
…
Since knowing the reward for a successful assassination, Chelsea ate well, slept sweetly, and didn't make trouble on the road, greatly speeding up the group's pace.
On this day, the three finally arrived at the destination provided by the intelligence department.
"Instructor, look!"
Pointing to a white ribbon tied to a tree trunk not far ahead, representing the code, Chelsea shouted excitedly.
Babara really had the urge to kick this dead girl away. She calls herself an instructor when she's in a good mood, and a dead old woman when she's in a bad mood! In fact, Babara was also very conflicted in her heart. She, Babara Oarburgh, is considered to be famous for her ferocity, so why isn't this dead girl afraid of her?
"It seems we have reached our destination."
"I'm not in the mood to bother with this little girl right now," Babara muttered to herself, her expression somewhat solemn.
Having been an assassin her whole life, Babara considered this mission to be the most dangerous and difficult. It would be impossible to say she wasn't nervous, but for someone of her caliber, what storms hadn't she weathered? A little nervousness wouldn't affect her in the slightest; instead, it would ignite the ferocity hidden deep within her!
"Let's go. The hounds the Revolutionary Army prepared for us should have arrived by now."
A sinister smile stretched across her lips as Babara took the lead.
…
"Hey, hey, are you saying we have to team up with these girls?"
"Heh heh, I heard they're some kind of elite unit."
"Hahaha… an elite unit? Or are you saying those two girls are experts in bed techniques? I'm actually looking forward to that!"
…
A group of strong, burly men wearing matching headbands and fierce expressions surrounded Babara and the two girls. Their eyes fell on Chelsea and Taeko, and they laughed and flirted without restraint, each one chiming in.
"Haha… such a typical death flag line."
Chelsea thought to herself, a large drop of sweat rolling down her forehead.
"Hey, Taeko, who are these guys? Did the old woman hire them as helpers?"
Chelsea asked Taeko in a low voice, raising a hand to her mouth, too lazy to pay attention to these boring guys.
"The Tengu Gang, a legendary and ruthless mercenary group. They'll do anything as long as the price is right."
"Master requested them from the Revolutionary Army to help us figure out the details of the Empire's Strongest and the woman by his side."
Taeko replied, still with her usual aloof expression.
"Uh, so you're saying they're just cannon fodder."
Chelsea was speechless. Seeing several disgusting uncles staring at her with greedy, lewd eyes, she didn't care and instead gave them a playful smile.
The uncles staring at Chelsea thought the little girl was interested in them, and they were immediately overjoyed, their minds already starting to fantasize…
While Chelsea and Taeko were talking quietly, Babara began to communicate with the leader of the Tengu Gang. At first, the other party looked down on the three of them—an old woman, a young girl, and another woman—and his tone was quite rude and arrogant.
However, when Babara introduced herself, the other party immediately wilted. The previous arrogance and rudeness instantly turned into fear and nervousness. Babara Oarburgh, the legendary master of the assassin guild, was infamous. When she was making a name for herself, these guys were still drinking milk at home!
Babara wasn't someone with a good temper. If anyone had dared to be so rude to her and her disciples in the past, she would have killed them all. However, thinking that these guys might be useful, and since they were going to be used as cannon fodder anyway, Babara temporarily endured it.
After some communication, Babara didn't lie to them. She directly stated that the target was the Empire's Strongest, the Death God General, and that she wanted the Tengu Gang to go and meet him first.
These Tengu Gang guys were a bunch of idiots. Even though they knew the target was the Empire's Strongest, they weren't afraid or retreating. Instead, they were incredibly excited. Their long-standing self-arrogance made them feel like their brothers were the best in the world. Who did that damn Death God General think he was? They were even afraid that Babara would strike first and steal their credit. Hearing that Babara was actually letting them try first, they were extremely grateful and happy.
Looking at this group of overly brave idiots, a strange and cruel smile stretched across Babara's lips. Mine, with her indifferent nature, didn't change her expression, as if the lives of these people had nothing to do with her.
The headphone girl thought, "Since you bunch of idiots are going to get your death flags anyway, I'll be kind and give you a few smiles…"
