Shell Spring Street, located at the end of the Imperial Capital's main thoroughfare, was bustling with people, so much so that an uninformed person might mistake it for a lively marketplace.
Lin Feng led Cornelia and ten other female team members to the outskirts of Shell Spring Street. Dressed in their formal black uniforms, they walked sternly towards their target.
"Lin Feng, according to the intelligence I gathered from my sisters, Yamadagumi has over two hundred members. Their leader is named Sakas, and it's said he has connections with the Minister of Finance," Leone said, hooking her arm through Lin Feng's.
Private rumors circulated that Yamadagumi not only abducted women from the slums, exploiting them as consumables to amass vast wealth, but also monopolized the underground drug trade. The Empire's Minister of Finance allegedly received illicit benefits, becoming Yamadagumi's protector. Consequently, military officers who had previously attempted to eradicate this cancerous growth ultimately failed.
"It's unforgivable that such a criminal organization exists in the Imperial Capital!" Sai Liu, having been misled by Ouka, was unaware of the evil lurking in the shadows.
"Lord Lin Feng, if the enemies surrender, how should we handle them?" Akame quietly asked. This mission was different from the assassinations she usually performed in the shadows. It was her first time handling a case head-on, like a police officer.
"Normally, a case would involve gathering evidence, making arrests, interrogating, and convicting. However, their actions are extremely heinous. To deter other criminals and prevent evil from resurfacing, it's best to kill everyone in Yamadagumi," Lin Feng said calmly.
Akame still hesitated after hearing this. Her beliefs were wavering, and she was starting to doubt this world. Many poor people resorted to criminal acts just to survive. This kind of poverty-driven evil couldn't be eradicated by the sword alone.
"Sister, you're overthinking it. If we follow Lord Lin Feng's instructions, we'll be fine. Be like Boni; she doesn't have as many worries as you."
Kurome had been brainwashed by Minister Beer since childhood, and obedience to her superior's orders was deeply ingrained in the young girl's subconscious.
The innocent Boni, thinking Kurome was praising her, immediately broke into a cheerful smile.
As the women chatted and laughed, they arrived at the entrance of the brothel controlled by Yamadagumi.
Just then, a tall, burly man with rough skin, a face full of scars, and a bulging chest walked over.
"Hey, what are you people doing here?"
The man's face was ferocious as he glared at Lin Feng, who was walking in front. His nearly 2m tall physique was imposing, and his fierce expression created an oppressive presence before Lin Feng.
The brawny man sensed their ill intent and immediately roared, "Damn it, do you know where this is? If you don't get lost, I'll have my men grab all those girls behind you and send them to the back for 'training'!"
"Heh..."
Lin Feng showed no anger, merely turning to Leone and saying, "This one's yours. The rest of you, follow me inside."
Upon hearing this, Leone activated her Imperial Arm, Lion King. A fierce glint appeared in her eyes, and her entire demeanor changed, radiating intense hostility.
Leone couldn't stand such arrogant people. She lowered her stance, pushed off the ground with her feet, and like a lion, charged directly at the brawny man. Using her momentum, she delivered a powerful kick to his chest.
"Ah... ah! Agh!" The brawny man, who had been so menacing just moments before, immediately screamed, louder than a pig being slaughtered. Leone's kick had brutally broken his ribs, and the pain was unimaginable. The man's face was filled with both shock and rage as he cursed,
"Damn it, Yamadagumi has connections! You'll regret—ah!"
However, Leone didn't let him finish. She grabbed the man's neck and twisted it forcefully. With a snap, the man's foul mouth fell silent.
"Ah! Murder! Murder!"
Not only were passing clients at the entrance screaming, but the surrounding prostitutes who witnessed Leone twist the man's neck 360 degrees also shrieked at the violent sight.
Inside the brothel, Lin Feng had barely taken a few steps when dozens of Yamadagumi members, armed with guns and dressed in black suits, rushed out from around a corner. The moment they saw Lin Feng and his group, they pulled their triggers without hesitation, opening fire.
"Lord Lin Feng was right. All of you deserve to die! Biy, combat mode!"
Sai Liu's lips curled into a chilling smile. Although she usually appeared as a cute girl, she became ruthless and cold-hearted when facing criminals.
Upon hearing the command, the Imperial Arm Biy instantly expanded to 2m, easily deflecting the incoming bullets with its body.
"Let's go, Sister. As Lord Lin Feng commanded, annihilate the enemy." After taking her pill, Kurome's expression instantly turned cold. She drew Hachifusa from her waist, skillfully dodged the enemy's bullets, circled behind them, and with a swing of her sharp blade, effortlessly sliced several people, along with their armor, in half.
Cornelia, who had been trained by Lin Feng, faced the enemy's gunfire and swung her right fist, deflecting all the iron bullets to the ground with a series of bangs.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. Most of these underworld figures came from the slums and had not received any professional training. They could bully ordinary citizens, but they were far from professional assassins.
Even Boni and Remus, who weren't skilled at dealing with firearms, managed to kill several underworld figures.
"Damn it, what's wrong with these women?!" Sakas said angrily, watching his subordinates being brutally slaughtered one by one. His gun-holding hand trembled slightly.
After ten minutes of one-sided slaughter, hundreds of corpses lay on the wooden floor. Sakas was the only Yamadagumi member left alive.
However, although Sakas was alive, he had been thoroughly beaten by Leone, his face swollen like a pig's head.
He was dragged by Leone, by his collar, to Lin Feng, who had been observing from behind.
Sakas, realizing that a great calamity was imminent, trembled incessantly.
"As the leader of Yamadagumi, you must have dealings with many corrupt officials and know many inside stories. If you can expose them, I will spare you," Lin Feng asked coldly.
Sakas was terrified now, cold sweat pouring down. He clearly remembered the bad deeds he had committed over the years. He couldn't count on two hands the number of high-ranking officials who had come to his establishment for entertainment.
The so-called 'honest' and 'good' officials were secretly quite debauched, preferring girls as young as possible, ideally virgins. In his view, the so-called 'corrupt officials' who were killed were merely the result of factional struggles... But if he exposed those people, would he truly live?
As Sakas hesitated, the impatient Leone raised her leg and kicked his shin. The overwhelming force of her kick easily broke his left leg.
While Leone was happily interrogating Sakas, Akame was clearing the battlefield. She pushed open a wooden sliding door.
She saw a woman dressed in a red oiran's kimono. The woman's face was pale, her body trembling with cold, and her eyes were like dead fish, devoid of any light.
The woman saw Akame approaching and said, "Give me... give me some medicine... I'm so itchy."
Akame, who had only ever assassinated rebels, had never encountered the true dark side. Her eyes stared unblinkingly at the woman suffering from drug withdrawal.
"Quickly, give me... give me the medicine. You can do whatever you want with me... whatever you want..." The woman shivered uncontrollably, saliva constantly drooling from the corners of her mouth, clearly her mind controlled by drugs.
Akame didn't know what to do, only managing to say, "That thing is a drug; you can't take it anymore."
"Give it to me! Quickly, give it to me!" The woman cried in pain, extending her hands and lunging forward like a demon.
Akame felt her limbs heavy as if pressed by a large stone, but she still instinctively delivered a hand chop, knocking the woman unconscious.
When Akame came out, Biy was opening its blood-soaked mouth, devouring Sakas's lower body.
"What's wrong, Sister? You look so pale. Are you sick?"
Kurome asked, coming closer with concern. She couldn't understand the heavy aura emanating from Akame. They had just upheld justice, and Kurome hoped her sister would be a little happier.
"Let's go. The evil here has been uprooted."
Lin Feng smiled at Akame as she approached.
"Lord, what will happen to those girls whose bodies are ruined?" Akame's expression was heavy. She couldn't imagine the future lives of those women addicted to drugs.
"I see. I remember Dr. Stylish's methods are quite brilliant; he should have drug treatments for them. I'll have him help with the treatment. Then, I'll provide these women who are willing to help themselves with legitimate jobs."
"Oh my, Lord Lin Feng thinks so far ahead. I thank you on their behalf!"
A glimmer flashed in Sai Liu's red eyes. She realized that Lin Feng was very different from her foster father. In her impression, her foster father always had her wield a knife to kill rebels, but he didn't care about the people struggling in suffering. But Lin Feng had a relief plan for the commoners at the bottom.
The scene at this time made Sai Liu believe that her wielding a blade could indeed make the empire better.
"Hehe, as expected of the man I have my eye on!"
The beastified Leone stared at Lin Feng blankly. His handsome appearance made her tail and cute cat ears twitch!
Finally unable to hold back, Leone, like a cat, jumped onto Lin Feng's back on all fours, her legs clamped around his waist, rubbing her plump breasts against the back of Lin Feng's head.
"Doing this will trouble Minister Lin Feng a lot!"
Cornelia directly grabbed Leone's tail and rudely pulled her down, not letting her get close to Lin Feng.
Who told Leone to deliberately come over and knock on the door in the middle of the night yesterday, interrupting Cornelia and Lin Feng's intimacy. This sudden scare, what if Lin Feng develops a problem, what if he has difficulty getting an erection in the future?
How could Leone admit defeat? She got up and grabbed Cornelia's chest with her backhand. Her palm couldn't even grasp it fully with one hand. As expected, Cornelia is also a big-breasted woman.
Black Eyes touched her own chest, which was as barren as a washboard, and looked enviously at Leone and Cornelia.
…
As the two women chased and frolicked back to the mansion, Lin Feng saw Sai Liu holding Biy, her brows furrowed, looking thoughtful.
"Sai Liu, didn't you punish evil today, why are you unhappy?"
Lin Feng couldn't understand what Sai Liu was worried about.
"Lord Lin Feng, I have discovered that human abilities are ultimately limited." Sai Liu pouted and muttered, "This battle made me realize that although Biy is very strong, it can't leave my side. I suddenly realized that I am too weak! If I want to punish all evil, I must become an existence that transcends humans!"
Today, seeing her companions show their skills, Sai Liu realized that her physical fitness was too low, and she became a burden to Biy during battle!
So… the girl wanted to find Dr. Stylish to perform physical modification.
