Chapter 391

Takumi was stunned by Ei sudden message.

Dude, she really cut the Lady down just like that?

Is this serious?

Does it have to be so outrageous?

Takumi:

[Are you serious?]

Ei:

[Yes!]

[She kept talking about resurrection and demanding I tell her how to do it.]

[It made me very unhappy!!]

Angry!!

So she cut her down on the spot.

"This girl is really reckless."

"But the Lady was slashed after all?"

"Well, if you get slashed, then you get slashed."

"Never mind."

The Lady is dead. Not a big deal.

Takumi could understand why she was so obsessed with resurrection.

Resurrection...

Tsk tsk!!

Shaking his head, Takumi didn't bother thinking too much about it.

Ei sent another message.

Ei:

[I gave them the Heart of God connected to Celestia.]

Well, so the Fools got what they wanted.

That makes sense.

Takumi nodded silently.

Miss Shadow is truly impressive.

After chatting with Ei for a while, she told Takumi everything that had happened.

After reading Ei message, Takumi immediately forwarded the news to Baiwen.

Takumi:

[Big news for you.]

Baiwen, upon receiving the message, was shocked.

She just responded with several exclamation points before falling silent.

This was truly breaking news.

Immediately, she made a decision.

It would be announced on the evening news broadcast!!

Which was exactly what Takumi wanted.

That evening, Takumi, Keqing, and Noelle sat in the living room, watching the news.

Yun Jin's voice came from the television.

"Reports indicate that the Fatui staged a large-scale invasion of Inazuma for unknown reasons.

"The Raiden Shogun personally went into battle.

"The Eighth Harbinger of the Fatui confronted the Raiden Shogun for reasons yet unknown.

"She was then publicly executed by the Raiden Shogun."

"The Shogunate demands an explanation from Snezhnaya."

Watching the news, the corners of Takumi's mouth lifted slightly.

Many people in Liyue were shocked.

A direct attack on the Raiden Shogun?

Were they truly that brave?

But the Eighth Harbinger was actually slain?

There was no doubt that this news shocked many people.

Especially the Snezhnayan merchants in Liyue.

They were utterly dumbfounded when they saw the broadcast.

Meanwhile, the three sisters of the Raiden Shogun in Inazuma were also watching the news.

Since Inazuma had only one television network, they were watching Liyue's news broadcast.

They ate their meal while listening to Yun Jin's report.

"Ei," Makoto turned to her sister, "do you want an explanation for this?"

Ei immediately shook her head.

"I'm not—I didn't—don't make things up."

"I never said anything like that."

Good grief, Takumi must have added that in himself.

And then made it public?

What the heck!!

"Takumi probably got it from official sources," Ei mused.

"But should Snezhnaya provide an explanation?"

"They really should," Makoto said, smiling slightly.

"After all, they dared to invade Inazuma."

If they didn't demand an explanation, would people start thinking that Inazuma was easy to bully?

Ei sighed and looked at her sisters. She was speechless.

How did things escalate like this?

Emmm...

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

She didn't understand it, nor did she care.

Now that her sister was back, she didn't want to think too much.

If anything happened, just cut it down!!

This news was undoubtedly shocking.

By the next day, people were eagerly discussing the events.

However, what no one knew was that after the young master retrieved the Heart of God, he was ambushed by Scaramouche.

The rogue Harbinger attacked the young master, killed many Fatui soldiers, and then vanished without a trace.

No one knew where he went.

It could only be said that the young master had terrible luck.

At that moment, he was feeling utterly hopeless.

He had no idea what kind of crime he had committed to deserve this.

"Damn it!"

The severely injured young master cursed.

He never expected Scaramouche to stab him in the back.

Then steal the Heart of God.

Dragging his wounded body, the young master contacted Snezhnaya.

He quickly reported the situation.

When the communication with Snezhnaya was established, he wasted no time explaining.

"The Lady died in battle, Scaramouche defected, and I was seriously injured!"

Short and to the point.

The young master relayed his situation directly.

The person on the other end fell silent.

Good grief.

What was this mess?

"The Heart of God?"

It was Pierro, the Harbinger known as The Jester, who responded.

He was surprised upon receiving the young master's report.

"Scaramouche stole the Heart of God."

"He ambushed me!"

The young master felt completely wronged.

Recently, everything had gone wrong for him.

Was it like Liyue said—had he offended fate?

Did he need to consult a fortune teller?

First, he took the blame in Liyue.

Then in Inazuma, he witnessed his comrade bravely challenge the Raiden Shogun.

Only for her to be swiftly executed by the ruthless Ei.

Then, after receiving the Heart of God inexplicably, he was backstabbed by Scaramouche.

And left severely injured.

All of this made the young master mentally and physically exhausted.

For the first time, he thought about retiring.

Should he just call it quits?

Hearing the young master's words, Pierro was silent.

"Return home."

"Bring back Rosalyne's remains."

"We'll discuss Scaramouche's defection when you arrive."

The young master hesitated.

After a long pause, he finally responded.

"Rosalyne has no remains."

"Only half of her mask remains."

Indeed, the Lady had died a terrible death.

Even her ashes were scattered.

Only the mask remained.

Now, it was Pierro's turn to fall silent.

"A mask... is fine too."

A mask was still something.

They could at least build a cenotaph for her.

The young master ended the call and assessed his current situation.

He sighed deeply.

What a disaster!!

Shaking his head, he decided not to dwell on it.

Instead, he summoned the surviving Fatui soldiers.

They needed to prepare for their return to Snezhnaya.

As for Inazuma?

They had no reason to remain.

The Heart of God was taken.

There was no point in staying any longer.

It was better to retreat before the Raiden Shogun decided to cut them down too.

This loss was simply too great.

Losing the Lady…

That would leave the young master depressed for a long time.

Meanwhile, on the other end, Pierro ended the call and walked straight to the Tsaritsa's palace.

He began to relay the young master's report.
