Hiding behind the curtains, Leona pulled open a tiny slit to observe her surroundings, confirming that this was a large estate belonging to a wealthy family.
Within the estate, several fully armed guards patrolled back and forth, their presence indicating stringent defenses.
Leona turned her head again, taking in the opulent luxury of the entire bedroom.
Though she didn't quite understand what had happened, why she had stumbled upon Uchiha Madara, or what exactly transpired with her last night, one thing was certain: Uchiha Madara was a dangerous individual, and she absolutely had to escape this place of trouble immediately.
Peering through the curtains at the patrolling guards outside, Leona swiftly pulled open the curtains, opened the window, and stepped onto the windowsill. Half her body "six-nine-three" extended outward, as she assessed the building's situation from top to bottom.
This large house was divided into five floors. Currently, Leona herself was on a window on the third floor.
Leona adopted her usual stealthy approach, not even needing to activate her Imperial Arms. Her entire body, agile as a spirit cat, deftly climbed, scaling the building with soft thuds. Without alarming anyone, she ascended to the fifth floor.
With one hand gripping the rooftop, Leona flipped over gracefully and leaped onto the roof, planning to make her escape from there.
However, after Leona got up there, she discovered an awkward scene.
It turned out that the very top of this large house wasn't a rooftop at all, but a flat terrace.
The warm morning sunlight poured onto this terrace, and bathed in that sunlight, Uchiha Madara sat at a dining table, leisurely eating breakfast, attended by Maid Sayu.
Leona had just happened to run into Uchiha Madara, who was in the middle of eating breakfast.
She sized up the person eating breakfast, and after confirming he was indeed Uchiha Madara, Leona nervously swallowed, immediately preparing to turn and flee.
However, her steps were halted by Uchiha Madara calling out:
"Leona, since you've come all this way, why run? Let's have breakfast together, and drink a glass of milk to sober up."
Leona turned, and in an instant, her expression became stern. She glared fixedly at Uchiha Madara:
"You fiend! You really knew my identity!"
Uchiha Madara actually admitted it without any evasion whatsoever!?
Leona's heart instantly swelled with extreme vigilance. Hearing his words, he had planned to get her drunk and bring her here all along. Although she didn't know Uchiha Madara's objective, as the most terrifying figure who had annihilated the Revolutionary Army, Leona absolutely dared not take him lightly.
Moreover, a vague sense of unease lurked within Leona's heart. This man telling her so frankly and without reservation clearly showed a terrifying confidence.
Her stance shifted slightly—this was the posture Leona adopted to react as quickly as possible. Her golden pupils stared unblinkingly at Uchiha Madara:
"You fiend... what exactly is your goal!?"
Sitting in his chair, Uchiha Madara stopped his movements with the knife and fork.
"My goal, my goal is your entire Night Raid. And you, as bait, will lure out all of Night Raid!"
He admitted it so frankly, again!?
Leona's heart instantly filled with alarm. This ruthless man, who had effortlessly destroyed the Revolutionary Army, was now setting his sights on Night Raid. Night Raid was in grave danger!
Although her heart was filled with urgent vigilance, currently, Leona still hoped to obtain more intelligence.
"Uchiha Madara, seeing that you could effortlessly annihilate the Revolutionary Army by yourself, I thought a strong individual like you shouldn't be afraid of authority. I never imagined that you would now act as a running dog for the Empire, determined to destroy our Night Raid!"
Uchiha Madara smiled profoundly:
"You don't need to use provocation, nor do you need to test me. How could a mere Empire order me around? My decision to act against your Night Raid is purely of my own personal will."
"Personal will!? What exactly do you want to do, you fiend!?"
Drinking the last sip of malted milk from his cup, Uchiha Madara spoke softly:
"It's very simple. I'm short on manpower, and I see that your Night Raid members are quite capable. I want to recruit you all as my subordinates..."
...
Uchiha Madara uttered words that left Leona dumbfounded, somewhere between laughter and tears.
"What? Subdue us? That's ridiculous! Our Night Raid is an assassin group that exists to eradicate the root of evil and for the welfare of all people in the Empire. How could we become your personal pawns!?"
As she finished speaking, Leona instantly activated her Imperial Arms.
With a burst of beast-like flames, Leona's golden long hair became as majestic as a lion's mane, cat-like ears grew on her head, and her hands transformed into lion's claws. Her entire body underwent a beastial transformation, and her strength and aura instantly increased significantly.
With her mane-like long hair fluttering, Leona glared fiercely at Uchiha Madara and declared loudly:
"Uchiha Madara! Your delusions will never come true! Farewell!"
With that, Leona leaped, and with a rush of wind, she instantly jumped far and high, simply leaping off the rooftop and speeding away!
Maid Sayu, seeing this, cried out in alarm:
"Oh no, Lord Madara, that female assassin has escaped! What if she goes back to Night Raid, brings all the assassins, and comes back for revenge?"
Uchiha Madara shook his head:
"Don't worry. Even if she escapes back, Night Raid wouldn't dare to trouble me. What's more, that woman can't escape from my grasp at all!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Madara's consciousness spread out, and he raised his hand, snapping his fingers sharply!
In the distance, Leona, who was rapidly leaping away and thrilled by her successful escape, suddenly found her surroundings distorted in a dizzying whirl.
Amidst the dizzying disorientation, she plummeted onto the rooftop where Uchiha Madara was, landing four limbs facing the sky right in front of Uchiha Madara!
Maid Sayu's eyes widened in horror. She couldn't understand: how could Uchiha Madara, with just a snap of his fingers, make this female assassin who had escaped suddenly appear here!?
