Simultaneously transmigrating, I, with my extraordinary talent, relied entirely on myself.

She was prepared to die when she rebelled against the empire, as were the members of Night Raid.

Being an assassin is no honorable job; not only is the mortality rate extremely high, but even if an uprising succeeds, it will not be officially recognized.

The connection between the night raid and the revolutionary army was one-sided; the vast majority of the revolutionary army were unaware of the connection between the two.

It was like a sharp blade aimed at the empire; after the empire disappeared, this blade, stained with darkness and blood, had no reason to exist.

Even knowing all this, they still joined the night raid. No matter how strong the enemy was, they would not surrender.

What they seek is a future where darkness can be swept away and everyone can live in peace and prosperity.

The empire cannot provide such a future. As for Yama...

This frivolous demeanor is hardly befitting of a wise ruler, making it difficult to inspire confidence.

"Good belief, keep it up." Yalin showed no annoyance.

If the other party readily submits, he becomes suspicious of their reliability.

A fence-sitter is never welcome.

The Cross Tail spread in all directions according to his will, binding and bringing back all the defeated Night Raid members.

All of them were unconscious and looked utterly disheveled, except for Leone, who was in slightly better condition.

However, Yalin was very careful in his actions. Although these people's injuries looked serious, they could actually recover most of their injuries after a few days of rest.

Lubbock sighed as he watched this scene unfold. It seemed he wouldn't be able to get his Imperial Arm back.

Wait a minute, this guy can actually use two Imperial Arms at the same time? That must be incredibly taxing.

However, these restrictions seem to be nothing to Yama.

The opponent is an illogical being, so it's not surprising that he can use all the Imperial Arms.

While he was pondering, he was suddenly bound by the silk threads at the cross ends and then hung on a tree.

Najenda was not spared from being restrained either; the entire Night Raid team was neatly hung up.

Chelsea, however, acted like a cute cat and thus escaped unharmed.

Yalin approached the unconscious Akame and transmitted the drafted contract into her consciousness.

Unlike previous puppet contracts, this contract is not very restrictive and makes demands on both parties.

Akame will pledge her allegiance to him, becoming his blade to sweep away all obstacles.

Yalin will cleanse the empire of darkness and evil, guiding it toward a hopeful future. She will not be forced to do anything that violates the empire's principles during this process.

If Akame breaks the contract during the journey, she can leave at any time.

Akame opened her eyes and stared intently at Yarin, seemingly trying to figure out his thoughts. Yarin accepted it calmly and met her gaze.

The two remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Yalin awaited Akame's decision.

Although it's possible to force a contract through hypnosis, it's pointless for Akame to lose her personality and become a complete doll.

They're not demons; why do they have to destroy the beliefs that the other person has always held onto?

Moreover, he was confident that he could completely subdue the other party through his actions without relying on contracts or coercion.

The Night Raid members around them woke up one after another. When they saw this scene, they tried to speak, but their mouths were covered by the threads of the Crossed Tail.

Akame is just the first one; no one can escape her, so there's no need to rush.

"Meow~"

Chelsea nuzzled against Yalin's trouser leg ingratiatingly, wanting to get involved and figure out the agreement between the two.

"You certainly know how to play the game." Yalin picked up the cat, then rubbed Chelsea's head hard. Even as a house cat, she still had a disloyal heart.

"But you're so cute, I'll forgive you."

Akame was struggling.

She was once a member of the Empire's assassination organization, and from a young age she underwent hellish training and assassination missions one after another. As time went by, her doubts and anxieties deepened.

During the assassination attempt on Najenda, he was captivated by the revolutionary army's ideals. Therefore, he resolutely defected from the Empire and became a member of the revolutionary army.

Najendan's expectation for her was to create a peaceful world where people could live in stability.

At this moment, Yalin also presented this ideal to her.

Akame saw in them the other party's attitude and persistence, and the possibility that they were closer to success than the Revolutionary Army.

Moreover, given his status and strength, he can minimize the losses in this process.

"Let them go, and I will wholeheartedly become your weapon, even if the contract is more demanding," she said after a long silence.

“That won’t do. Now that you know my identity, you should understand my purpose,” Yalin said, rejecting the idea.

It's rare to find members with ideals and who are not afraid to sacrifice. Although the two sides are on different sides, the Empire needs such people.

Unfortunately, most of the capable and upright people have been harmed by the ministers in recent years, and the rest either went into seclusion or joined the revolutionary army.

Yalin also lacks talent.

Akame remained silent once more.

This treatment was extremely generous; even the revolutionary army couldn't offer the same price.

She joined the revolutionary army with great enthusiasm, risking everything for it.

I feel uneasy about switching sides now.

It wasn't until she looked at the Night Raid members who had been wiped out that she realized there was only one path forward.

Given the strength that Yalin has demonstrated, the revolutionary army has no chance of winning against him; they will only sacrifice themselves in vain.

The outcome has been decided.

Moreover, Yalin's ideals were what she had pursued all her life, so she simply couldn't refuse them.

If he can truly fulfill the terms of the contract, then why should Li Qiyinba Siba Yue-yi be bound by her established position and give up the opportunity to realize her ideals?

Even though Yalin was just pretending and would lead the empire into an even worse situation in the future, she was still given the freedom to leave.

"Red Eyes, follow in my footsteps and together we will transform this empire into the form you desire."

I won't let you down.

Upon seeing Akame's heart flutter, Yalin untied the silk threads binding her and extended his right hand towards her.

Akame gazed at Yarin and grasped his hand.

"As long as you stay true to your original aspirations, I will always be your sharpest weapon."

Chelsea meowed, clearly shocked.

What exactly did those two talk about? Why can't she understand it?

The only certainty is that Yama's promise is quite tempting.

It's amazing that they were able to persuade Akame, this wildcat who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside and has an extremely strong will.

"You won't regret making this decision." Yalin smiled and officially signed the contract with Akame.

The Night Raid members nearby were incredulous at the sight.

How could this Yama so easily make Akame betray him? Was he bewitched?

Akame didn't explain to her companions and followed Yarin closely.

Having made the decision, she would never regret it.

Besides, these companions will also be persuaded.

Yalin approached Brand, met the gaze of this former Imperial soldier, and removed the restraints from his mouth.

"Lord Yama, although I don't know how you persuaded Akame, I will not submit to you. Don't waste your energy."

Brand laughed, saying he had great confidence in his will.

No matter what price the other party offers, or what cruel torture methods they employ, it will not change his will.

"is it?"

Yalin drawled out his words, staring meaningfully at Brand, clearly impressed by this idealistic tough guy.

However, the bargaining chip he offered was exactly what these idealists from Night Raid were looking for, and they couldn't refuse it.

In terms of both strength and conviction, Yarin is a better choice than the gradually corrupting Revolutionary Army.

Fifteen minutes later, the remaining members saw Brand being unrestrained and following behind Yalin with a determined look on his face.

Najendan looked serious. Brand was one of the earliest Night Raid members to follow her, and even he was persuaded.

Could this Lord Yama really do a better job than the revolutionary army?

"Miss Mine, your Teigu is quite powerful." Yalin confiscated the Romantic Cannon and praised the pink-haired girl, whose face was full of resentment. "Come to my side, and I will give you a better stage."

"What tricks did you use to manage to bewitch two people?!"

Mine snorted, unmoved by Yalin's invitation. "I won't fall for it. You won't succeed."

.......

"Boss, this guy's promises are too good to be true, I really can't refuse, sorry."

Leone scratched her hair and said apologetically to the dejected Najenda.

She came from the slums of the capital city, killed the nobles because she couldn't stand their killing games, and then joined Night Raid.

Leone's understanding of the Revolutionary Army was mainly through Najenda; she didn't have a deep emotional connection with them.

They simply have the awareness to give everything for the sake of making their hometown better.

The contract Yalin gave her included measures for the management of the slums.

Compared to the uncertain future of the Revolutionary Army, Leone felt that Arlin's plan was highly feasible.

Therefore, they chose to switch sides without hesitation.

Najendan fell completely silent.
