form the public once the cause has been determined.Everyone waited impatiently and fearfully. It was the third day of the apocalypse, and although they still had food at home, it wouldn't last forever..."The plan remains unchanged, continue executing it, and simultaneously verify if Wu Lianyi has betrayed us."

Instructor Chiang hammered it home.

"Yes, sir!"

Both of them chorused in agreement.

For the next month, ripples lived under constant surveillance in Japan. She was obedient and went to school, came back from school, and returned to her dorm, following a rigid routine. She rarely even left the school grounds.

Mr. Sun, who works in the same office, constantly mocks her for being timid and trying to assert herself.

"Mr. Sun, if it were you who was wrongly implicated and thrown into the prison of the Japanese headquarters, your courage wouldn't be any greater than mine. Perhaps you shouldn't mock me here. I'm already grateful to be alive."

Even Teacher Sun, who was usually eloquent, had nothing to say.

Over the next month and a half, three more Japanese officers were killed, which made Japan's top military leaders restless. They knew who was responsible but couldn't catch them, which infuriated them.

Miyata finally couldn't hold back and visited Renri's place one night.

"We hope you get that assassination list as soon as possible."

"Mr. Miyata, I'm currently sidelined by the KMT. My suspicions haven't been cleared, and they won't easily let me access intelligence. In the last assassination mission, I was only assisting and didn't know who they were targeting."

Liàn yī wú nài tān shǒu dào.

The one who watches you will be withdrawn tonight. We'll make it seem like we can no longer attend to you, that we've diverted more personnel to protect high-ranking officers, making it easier for you to move.

"That's not enough, I need to earn their trust back at least."

What do you want to do

Miyata's eyes narrowed.

"If they're assassinating high-ranking officers of your army, what if I unwittingly helped them"

"You want to kill the Emperor's most capable officers!!"

A flash of killing intent crossed Miyata's eyes.

"Mr. Miyata, this is just a tactic. There's a saying in China: 'You can't catch a wolf if you don't let your child go.' Besides, I don't believe that in such a large officer corps, there aren't any colleagues who are against you"

"By taking this opportunity, I can both regain the trust of the Nationalist Party and help you get rid of those who are displeasing to you. Why wouldn't we do it"

The ripples of her words held a seductive allure.

Miyata's eyes flickered, and this time he didn't immediately refute. After all, the closer he was to the Emperor, the more favored he would be. If he could use this opportunity to eliminate obstacles, it would be very beneficial for his promotion.

"Please do not act rashly for now, I will contact you after I have finished researching."

"Okay, I'll wait for Mr. Miyata's good news."

Liàn Yī whispered with lowered eyes.

After returning to headquarters, Miyata sat in his office and began considering the feasibility of Ripple's proposal.

To be honest, the other party's proposal was quite tempting. And for the sake of getting the assassination list, some sacrifices were inevitable. Even if this woman had ulterior motives, he held her leverage, and besides, it wasn't him who actually did the killing. After the incident, he could push all the blame onto that woman.

Ultimately, Miyata decided to take the risk. It was a good opportunity.

But before he had decided who to make the scapegoat, someone came up to him and whispered in his ear:

"The information broker named Peony appeared."

When

Just now, our informants have stabilized the situation and proposed a trade to the other party.

"Take the people with us, let's apprehend that woman first and secure the intel."

This is not in accordance with the rules of information trading.

"The rules are made by the strong!"

Miyata said indignantly, then grabbed the black windbreaker from the backrest chair and left headquarters in a hurry.

As soon as Miyata's figure disappeared, she left the dormitory. To pressure Miyata into making a decision quickly, she went to set things on fire, so she transformed into the mysterious information broker, Botan, and headed to a bar.

The reappearance of the peony immediately drew many eyes. The short nobleman was the first to step forward and said:

"Miss Peony, you've been gone for too long. We thought you had finished the deal."

"Of course not, I just let the message ferment for a while, to prove the authenticity of this information to everyone. The five Japanese military officers who were killed before were all on the list."

With a smile, Lian Yi held the wine in his hand and said.

The baron's hand clenched involuntarily, then loosened just as quickly. His face remained impassive as he said:

"I see. As long as the information is in your hands, I'm willing to buy it."

"I'm willing too!"

"Me too"

The ripples were surrounded by adoring stars, and the people around had already started bidding.

The top five bidders were taken to a private room by Ripples and talked to individually.

You five all have a desire, but there is only one piece of information. Look,"

"Miss Peony, according to your rules, the highest bidder gets it. Does anyone object"

The Baron spoke immediately, as if afraid that Ripple would change her mind.

Of course!

"No problem! I'm determined to get this information!"

"Don't talk big, just give me a quote first!"

Another woman said.

The ripples nodded, indicating her agreement, and then watched as the five people began to bid in turn, adding a small yellow fish, one by one.

A ripple of amusement played at the corners of her eyes as she saw that these five people were a group, clearly trying to waste time. As for their reasons, she knew exactly why.

She then smiled and walked over to the Baron, patted him on the shoulder, and said to the other four:

"You're driving a hard bargain, Baron. For sixty small yellowfish, this information is yours."

It was only then that the five people's price reached forty small yellow croakers.

The Baron stiffened, then said with a touch of embarrassment:

"Miss Peony, I don't have that many little yellow fish on hand, at most fifty. That's my limit."

Apparently, he still wants to haggle.

"What about you Can't afford it either"

The ripples placed her hand on the other man beside the baron and asked.

"This"

Unfortunately, the other party only said one word, and Ripples immediately attacked. "Crack!" with two sounds, Ripples worked on both sides simultaneously, twisting the necks of the Baron and the man. Then she raised her foot and kicked directly at the edge of the table, the round table immediately shifted, bumping the remaining three people against the wall.

Screams came from the mouths of the three, but before they could react, there were three gunshots, "poof poof poof," and the cries of the three suddenly stopped.

Ripples put down her gun and climbed out the window on the second floor where the private room was, then quickly left the bar. When she jumped onto another rooftop, she saw a Japanese military truck parked in front of the bar, and soldiers inside quickly got out and surrounded the entire bar.

"Well, I reacted quickly!"

Ripple wrapped herself in a black cloak, crawled to the top of another house, and then leaped into the pitch-black alleyway, disappearing quickly.

At this moment, a figure stealthily walked out. He watched the person who was hurrying away, hesitated for a moment, then lightly and silently followed after them.

When Miyata, accompanied by a person, rushed into the second-floor private room on the other side, he saw five corpses. All five were intelligence officers from their Japanese nation.rom her tribe.Just as Sitia arrived at the witch's dwelling, Lianyi was also invited there by the Bear Clan's witch.Ripple saw the bear clan's shaman, an elderly, androgynous beastman with a face etch...
