"Lady Yoko, we heard that there was another attack yesterday on the mansion. We also heard that you managed to retrieve some assassins as a result of this. You did a good job this time. Thought, this attack should not have happened in the first place."

Amane looked at Chief Hao\'s words. They were an indirect insult to her as well as a warning to the council members to behave for now.

She had to say that she was impressed by the way Chief Hao worded his sentences. It was difficult to tell whom he was talking to and that gave him a plausible denial later.

"L-Lady Yoko, have you started the intruder\'s interrogation yet?"

Elder Hana asked this with a nervous stutter in her voice. She was one of the people who commissioned this raid for sure.

"Interrogation? I am afraid I have not started one yet, but I will be personally heading one soon."

Amane lied through her teeth. She had forced the intruders to spill every word they knew. That way, Amane already knew which people she needed to be careful of the most. Find more to read at M V L

Of course, the top most name on that list was \'Elder Hana\' and \'Elder Dao.\'

"So, you have not started the questioning yet. In that case, can you hand the intruders over to you? Seeing a young girl like you being forced into practices of torture and interrogation breaks my heart."

Elder Hana pretended like she was worried about Amane but, she wanted to hide her connections with the intruders.

Amane could have fought her here and revealed that she had lied to everyone. But then the council would find a way to twist her words and pin the blame on her.

Since Amane did not want that to happen to her, she decided to play the long game and wait for the problem out.

"You want to take control of the intruders for me? Then you can do what you want to. But remember, you need to give me results or it will all be meaningless in the end. Do you think you can do that for me, elder?"

Amane\'s voice was teasing and Elder Hana had to bite her words to not curse her out.

"O-Of course I will give you the results you want me to. There is no need for you to worry about this."

Elder Hana\'s face was full of worry and sweat. Even as she tried her best not to show her worries, the elder could not help herself from sweating.

"Hmm, if the elder says so then I will choose to believe her. Then, I will be looking forward to the results."

Elder Hana cursed under her breath. She swore she would make sure to kill the useless intruders. She could not let her name be known.

Since a few more people had participated in this fiasco, she was sure that they would be willing to help her out.

All this did not go unnoticed by Chief Hao. He seemed to have guessed what had happened but he did not bother helping his fellow elders out.

Instead, he knew he needed to strengthen his position in this household.

"Anyway, I called you here to tell you that the date for the exchange of the poison drake had been decided. Make sure it is trained and docile when we ship it over. I do not want any complaints of its behavior."

Chief Hao ordered from his position. His words seemed to have attracted everyone\'s attention. Even Amane was surprised at the sudden order she got.

It had not even been four days since she was back. And half of that time had been spent taking care of the intruders. She hardly had any time to train the poison drake.

Had she been anyone else, it would have been problematic for her to even hear all this. Taming beasts took a significant amount of time and effort.

That was what Chief Hai seemed to be counting on for her case as well.

He wanted Amane to make a mistake and then cause trouble. That way, he would have a reason to cause trouble for her.

\'As if I am going to fall for the oldest trick in the book. These people better be ready for it when I come after them.\'

Amane was making plans in her head already. She already had a few ways to pull all these fakers down from their pedestals. And the easiest way to do so would be to lay down a trap.

"Lady Yoko, you are free to leave now. We said all we needed to say to you. I am sure you will keep the dignity of your name and not let us down."

If Amane could have acted how she wanted to, these elders would have been reduced to ashes. But she still did not have enough influence to cause trouble and then live a carefree life.

"I understand. In that case, I shall take my leave now. I have a lot I need to prepare for."

Amane bowed in front of the elders and it took everything she had not to say something offensive.

The elders watched her with a careful eye as well. They had expected something to happen by now as well.

But this was the most peaceful meeting between Amane and the elders until now. Both parties seemed satisfied with what they had achieved.

"Lady Yoko, we have extracted all the needed confessions out of the intruder\'s mouths. Do you need us to send them to you?"

Her aid asked quickly. Her effectiveness was something Amane appreciated in her.

"No need to do that now. Just keep those confessions safe somewhere and I will use them when it is time. For now, treat the intruders and hand them over to Elder Hana\'s fraction. Make sure they do not die too early."

Amane was not a compassionate person.

She already knew that the elders would try and kill the intruders to close their mouths off. If these intruders die in Amane\'s care, then it would come back to bite her later.

So as much as she hated playing with Human lives, Amane had no choice but to send these intruders back to the elders alive.

And if they died afterward? Well, that was not Amane\'s problem.

Amane reached her room and changed her clothes. She was about to head out when a servant approached her with a doubtful and uneasy expression.

As soon as Amane noticed it, she wanted to groan and facepalm. She had a bad feeling about what was going to happen next.

"L-Lady Yoko, Lady Suzuki is here to meet you. What should we tell her?"

Of course, Charlie chose the most inconvenient times to visit Amane. This time was no different.

And what was more? Amane was sure that Charlie had no reason to visit her. She had decided on this visit on a whim and gone through with it.

"I understand. If that is the case, then lead me to Lady Suzuki. We cannot leave the divine leader waiting around like this."

Amane hated bothersome things and the visit of the divine leader was troublesome indeed.

A lot needed to be prepared to serve Charlie and now Amane\'s staff was running around like a headless chicken to try and prepare everything.

"Lady Suzuki, please send us a formal notice before you decide to visit. My staff seems to age a few years after your visit."

Amane tried very hard to keep her voice calm and neutral. She did not want to let Charlie know that this visit had caused her trouble.

Because knowing Charlie would just encourage her to cause even more trouble.

"Oh, I did not know Lady Tsurugi cared so much about her staff and their well-being. Then, next time I will try to send a letter beforehand. But, how about you just mark down this day every week for my visit? I will be visiting a lot."

"Please don\'t."

Everyone looked started at Amane\'s bold words. But she was not one to hold back her words for no reason.

Charlie Suzuki looked started at the strong rejection of her presence as well. But then her disbelief turned into amusement and she laughed out loud.

"Lady Yoko, you get more and more entertaining every time I see you. I hope we get to see a lot of each other in the future as well."

If it was up to Amane, she would want to shut out the world and rest for the rest of her life. But everyone else seemed to have a different opinion.
