Chapter 827

After following Hanako Arasaka through the lab and finally learning the Pheasant Faction’s deepest secret, Akechi made a proposal to her.

“Lady Hanako,” Akechi began, “the experiment is still incomplete—we can’t yet use it to win over other people who crave immortality. Given the situation, shouldn’t we lie low and disappear for now, at least until the experiment succeeds? Once we hold an absolutely winning card in our hands, it won’t be too late to deal with Yorinobu Arasaka.

“Considering that he will definitely send people to search everywhere once he realizes you’ve escaped, if we wish to ensure your safety and keep this laboratory hidden, we should depart for the home islands immediately.”
