Arya was the target of the night raid, so Leone had done his homework and would not make a mistake. The blonde noble lady was Arya. According to intelligence, Arya liked to lure country folk to her home and then torture and kill them.
The moment Leone saw Arya, she almost couldn't suppress her murderous intent, but she immediately restrained herself because she knew that now was not the time to take action. If she did so, her identity would be exposed and she would be put on a wanted warrant like the rest of her companions.
Even if she wasn't going to take action, Leone wouldn't pretend she saw nothing, because Lelouch and CC, who walked in with Arya, were naturally regarded by her as "victims" who were "abducted" by Arya.
The night raid on Arya will take place tonight. Whether from the perspective of saving innocent victims or from the perspective of not affecting tonight's operations, Leone feels that he needs to take some measures.
While Leone was imagining it, Lelouch and CC looked at each other, then held hands, used the skill code's mental link, and began to communicate in their minds.
[CC, there's something wrong with that woman. What do you think of her strong murderous aura?]
[Not sure, her target is clearly between us and Arya, but we just came to this world, so...]
[It can only be Arya, CC, use your innate skills to see.]
[You can, but I can't guarantee success.]
[It's okay, leave the rest to me.]
There were some things they didn't say, but both sides knew it well. Compared to CC's innate skills that he had not yet mastered, Lelouch had an ability that was obviously more practical, and that was his geass, which could give others orders that absolutely could not be disobeyed. If he used the geass, perhaps all problems would be solved.
But the experience of using Geass countless times in the past has taught Lelouch that the more he plays with people's hearts, the more likely he is to suffer retribution! Shirley and Euphie are the eternal pain in his heart, so unless he has to, Lelouch will not use the power of Geass again.
Lelouch walked up to Leone and said:
"Miss, my name is LL and her name is CC. We want to join the army. Can you help us smooth things over? Of course, I will pay you accordingly. If possible, we can find a place to have a good chat."
Surprises always come so suddenly. Leone was still racking her brains to find an excuse to get rid of Arya and create an opportunity to be alone with Lelouch and the others, but Lelouch took the initiative to suggest finding a place to talk. The only thing is that their names are a bit strange, but this is an insignificant matter.
"Let's go, let's find a place to talk in detail."
Leone stood up, dragged Lelouch and CC outside. The girl, who didn't look particularly strong, possessed a strength that Lelouch and CC couldn't match, so Lelouch and CC had no choice but to follow Leone.
Talent skill [Color of Snow], activated!

Leone grew up in the slums, saw the dark side of the world, and witnessed one tragedy after another, but these did not bring her down. Instead, they honed her spirit and gave her the strength to resist fate.
Then one day, unable to bear the cruel game of nobles riding horses and trampling children to death, Leone killed them all. Later, he joined the assassination unit of the Revolutionary Army - Night Raid, and obtained his own imperial weapon, which was the King of Beasts [Lion King].
Just last night, the leader of the night raid issued a new mission, which was to assassinate the noble Arya.
——
If "C's World" is a database that stores the collection of all human subconsciousness, and Code is the multi-functional terminal of "C's World", then [Snow World] is a universal converter that can connect the spirits of CC, Lelouch and anyone else, and even peek into their deepest secrets.
In fact, when Lelouch and CC peeked into Leone's heart, Leone was not completely indifferent. She suddenly thought of her past for some reason, just as Lelouch and CC saw.
Leone shook her head vigorously, trying to put aside the inappropriate memories, but found that she couldn't do it. The memories of the past kept emerging in her mind, so she could only endure the attack of the memories of the past while pulling Lelouch and CC away from Arya.
In the end, Lelouch and CC were pulled by Leone into an alley not far away.
Lelouch gasped softly, and since Leone's hands were holding Lelouch and CC respectively, acting as a "connector", he could also see what CC saw.
Lelouch was thinking about the secret of Leone that he had just seen. His clever brain had already guessed what Leone was thinking, including why Leone released murderous intent for no reason and why he was in such a hurry to bring them here. It was just the result of the accumulation and piecemeal of information. It was extremely simple for Lelouch.
Lelouch couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was really lucky. He ran into members of Night Raid on his first trip. Lelouch was still very interested in this assassination organization. It would be best if he could recruit them, but if not, he could also use their power.
Leone finally dragged Lelouch and CC to an empty alley, just like a gangster asking for protection money.
"Hey, you two, I want you to take your companions and leave that noble's manor as soon as possible. This is for your own good!"
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It's even more exciting later!
Lelouch said:
"don't want."
"Ah? I'm not kidding. That noble lady is not a good person. She often harms people from the countryside. People like you who go in will basically never get out. If you don't believe me, go and ask around..."
Before Leone could finish, he was interrupted by Lelouch.
"Ms. Leone, there's no one else here. Let me introduce myself again. My name is LL, her name is CC, and we are here to end the empire's rule!"
Leone suddenly became confused. (O?O)
"Wait, what did you say!? How dare you say that? Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the security team right now… No, you know my identity, right?!"
Leone instantly entered a combat posture, his body transformed into a beast, animal ears grew on his head, his hair stood up, his muscles tensed, and he extended his black claws.
"Relax, Ms. Leone. We have no ill intentions, otherwise I wouldn't say this. Our goals are the same, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Haha, why should I trust you!"
"Because I know the location of your night raid base! If I were your enemy, you would have been wiped out long ago."
Lelouch mentioned a location, in the mountains ten miles north of the imperial capital, which was what CC saw in Leone's mind, and now it can be used as a bargaining chip.
Leone's eyes widened, she didn't expect Lelouch to know their base. She now believed his words a little, because if Lelouch was an enemy, there was no need to tell her so much, he could just lead people to raid their base.
"Okay, I believe you are not from the Empire, but how do you know so much?"
Lelouch smiled and said:
"We are both Teigu users. CC's Teigu is a divination-type Teigu. This is her Teigu effect."
There are 48 Teigu in total, of all kinds. During the night raid by Leone and his friends, there were sword-shaped Teigu, gun-shaped Teigu, and even humanoid Teigu, so Leone thought that Lelouch was telling the truth.
"I've heard that there are divination-type imperial tools in the world, but I didn't expect that you have them. I admit that this imperial tool will be very useful to us. However, isn't it a bit too arrogant to cooperate with us? You are just two imperial tools users.
How about this, you two join our night raid? Since your goal is also to resist the rule of the empire, joining the night raid will definitely not disgust you, it is better to say that joining the night raid is your best choice. "
Although we don't know what Lelouch's Teigu is yet, any Teigu has extraordinary abilities, not to mention that CC's Teigu is a strategic Teigu like divination. Leone is determined to lure them both... into the night raid.
Lelouch neither accepted it immediately nor rejected it decisively, but just smiled suddenly.
"What are you laughing at? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
If someone in Lelouch and CC's original world said they wanted to recruit Dark Lord Zero, they would probably be considered crazy. Lelouch suddenly found this feeling quite interesting.
"No, please don't mind it. What you said makes sense, but you are wrong about one thing. We are not just two people. I brought the entire Knight Order with me! If you ask me, why don't you join our [Black Knight Order] during the night raid?"
