Leone snatched the newspaper from Uchiha Madara's hand without any politeness, scrutinizing it from top to bottom, left to right, especially paying careful attention to the reports of the two cases recorded within Night Raid, not missing a single word.
After reading it carefully and thoroughly, Leone confirmed that it was indeed a case committed by her comrades.
Leone paid particular attention to the fatal wounds on Ogre Ogre and Zank the Executioner.
The newspaper reported that Ogre Ogre had several burnt penetration wounds on his body, and his fatal injury was that his head had been severed.
According to a careful observation of the photos published in the newspaper, Leone concluded that the burnt penetration wounds on Ogre Ogre's body were caused by Mine's Imperial Arm, Romantic Gunner: Pumpkin. As for his head, it wasn't just cut off; it was severed, meaning it was caused by Sheele's Imperial Arm, All Things Severed: Extinction.
Additionally, according to the newspaper report, Zank the Executioner had no fatal wounds, only a long, narrow gash on his chest. The forensic pathologist determined that the cause of Zank the Executioner's death was internal organ shattering.
Leone was even more certain: the only Imperial Arm capable of causing such a death was Akame's One-Cut Killer: Murasame!
However, based on Leone's understanding of her comrades, it shouldn't be so simple.
Leone continued to read the newspaper meticulously, observing the photos published within.
After a moment, Leone's pupils constricted slightly. However, this expression immediately turned into a sullen one.
Placing the newspaper on the table, Leone stood up and turned without a word, leaving the restaurant.
Sayo was quite indignant at Leone's behavior:
"This fellow, she just left without even a greeting! She truly is a wild woman, completely lacking in manners!"
Uchiha Madara watched Leone's retreating figure, a knowing smile playing on his lips, and shook his head.
He naturally understood why Leone reacted the way she did. This reason had become clear to him the moment he first saw the newspaper.
Speaking of which, it was truly worthy of a famous assassin group like Night Raid; their method of conveying information was not exceptional at all.
This was because the photos published in the newspaper, showing the deceased Ogre Ogre and Zank the Executioner, contained Night Raid's secret code!
Without a doubt, this code was left for Leone to see.
The members of Night Raid truly couldn't find Leone, and so, out of helplessness, they resorted to this method, hoping Leone would see the newspaper and the secret code left on the bodies.
Leone indeed saw it, recognized it, and understood the content of the code.
The content of Night Raid's secret code was roughly an explanation to Leone about an information rendezvous point hidden in the Imperial Capital. They hoped that if possible, Leone would go there herself, or find a way to send information there, and make contact with Night Raid.
However, this information rendezvous point was clearly outside Uchiha Madara's estate!
How could Leone possibly leave now?
This was why Leone's subsequent expression was so sullen. It was also why Uchiha Madara had seen through it and still showed Leone the newspaper; he wasn't afraid of Leone escaping at all!
Reaching out, Uchiha Madara took the newspaper from across the table and looked at the photos of the two bodies published in it, especially the part of the photos that displayed Night Raid's secret code.
Uchiha Madara revealed a hint of an amused smile.
Under absolute strength, any means are useless.
Uchiha Madara casually tossed the newspaper aside. As it left his hand, it immediately ignited, a flash of flame, and the newspaper turned into a pile of charred ash and fragments, scattering with the wind...
Sayo, who knew how to read the room, watched Uchiha Madara's actions dumbfounded. She naturally understood that this was not the time to criticize Lord Madara for carelessly littering the floor. Lord Madara clearly seemed to have thought of something important.
After a moment, Uchiha Madara, seated in his chair, said to Sayo:
"Sayo, tonight, I need to go out for something."
Sayo was startled, almost reflexively asking Uchiha Madara:
"Lord Madara! Will there be any danger?!"
After such a long period of living together, Sayo naturally knew that Uchiha Madara was no ordinary person. But precisely because of this, her level of concern for Uchiha Madara rose by another notch.
Uchiha Madara would not harm those who cared about him. He comforted Sayo, saying:
"Sayo, rest assured, there is no one in this world who can harm me. Even powerful foes bend to my will."
"Oh, and Sayo, tonight, while I'm not here, the daily affairs of the estate will be managed by you!"
Sayo asked Uchiha Madara with some concern:
"Then... that assassin, Leone..."
"She can't escape. While I'm here, she can't escape, and when I'm not here, she likewise can't escape!"
Uchiha Madara had already stated things to this extent; what else could Sayo say?
"Alright, Lord Madara, please be very careful!"
An entire day passed. Night fell, and dusk deepened. When the moon was no longer visible, only darkness, that was the time for killing.
Night Raid once again took action tonight.
This time, the group consisted of Sheele and Mine.
Sheele's Imperial Arm was All Things Severed: Extinction, an extremely sharp pair of large scissors. Just as half of its name suggested, it could cut almost anything!
Sheele, wielding this Imperial Arm, could be said to be unstoppable; she was a famous close-range fighter within Night Raid.
Mine's Imperial Arm was Romantic Gunner: Pumpkin. This Imperial Arm was a multi-functional cannon with adjustable power. Undoubtedly, she was an absolute long-range attacker!
One close-range, one long-range; one main attacker, one support – Sheele and Mine could be said to be the best partners!
Tonight, the two of them went on a mission and, along the way, successfully killed their targets without any surprises or dangers.
However, just as the two were about to leave, they encountered a bane!
Seryu Ubiquitous.
She belonged to the Imperial Capital's Imperial Guard and was the disciple of the captain, Ogre Ogre. She looked very cute, prided herself on her so-called justice, and was extremely hostile towards the evil rebels, Night Raid, due to her parents and master being murdered. Her heart was actually twisted. She possessed the Biological-type Imperial Arm, Little Tyrant.
