Start from Firefly and speed through the world

However, they were so blinded by the benefits that they didn't want to think too much. They just made sure that the person was not a local of the imperial capital and took action directly.

But it's too late to regret now...

The two men fled for their lives, running about dozens of meters, but the next moment a huge mechanical hand appeared above them and directly grabbed their bodies.

They were unable to struggle, and even the giant mechanical hand was so powerful that it crushed their bones when it grabbed them, causing them to scream out in unbearable pain.

Then the mechanical hand controlled by Swarovski forcibly dragged the two back.

"Spare your life, my lord, please spare your life!"

"We don't dare anymore."

After being caught, the two of them quickly begged for mercy from Swarovski and Clara in front of them. They were so blind that they actually provoked such a strong man.

However, compared to Swarovski, the mechanical iron lump, their gazes of begging for mercy were more focused on Clara.

At this time, they thought that they might be being stung by law enforcement. They were well-informed in the imperial capital, and the existence of Swarro reminded them of a legendary existence.

The emperor's envoy.

Only those who use imperial equipment have such power, and there are all kinds of imperial equipment... There are almost all kinds of forms and abilities, including biological, mechanical, weapon, mecha warrior, armor transformation, auxiliary equipment...

The Swarovski in front of him might be the imperial weapon of the girl in front of him.

No matter whether it is a mechanical creature or other biological imperial device, it needs a master and a suitable imperial device user before it can be used.

[We ask, you answer. Otherwise, you will be executed immediately! ]

Swarovski did not kill them directly. Compared to these minions, there must be a big one behind them. Maybe he can learn something from them.

"Yes, we will answer."

The two nodded quickly when they heard this.

[Clara, I leave it to you.]

Seeing that the two were behaving well, Swarovski turned to look at the little girl next to him.

He can't do everything by himself. Although Clara is a little cowardly, it's just that way. In fact, Clara has her own opinions and ideas.

He is not as timid and cowardly as he appears.

"Me...me?"

Clara was stunned and a little hesitant.

【right. 】

"Oh, Clara gets it."

Carefully walking past the area covered with blood and flesh, Clara looked at the two with a serious expression and asked about them and the forces behind them, and also inquired about the current situation in the imperial capital.

And, information about General Esdeath and the minister.

Although Clara seems to have no deterrent power at all, Swarovski beside her is different.

The two men who were afraid of death did not dare to hide anything and told everything they could.

It’s just disappointing that they are just thugs at the lower level, they don’t know much, and most of what they know is just hearsay.

............

Chapter 11 Clara Hesitates

In the shadows that are invisible to the entire imperial capital, all kinds of bloody and violent industries are spread across all areas.

They do everything, whether imaginable or unimaginable, as long as they can make money, and what is the most profitable business?

Of course, it’s those bloody industries and human meat buns.

But for the empire, there are plenty of these people, so it doesn't matter how many die.

After all, the minister who controls the government is the biggest beneficiary, and most of the industries belong to him. Even if they are not his, they are given to him by his faction and as tribute.

With direct official endorsement, what’s there to be afraid of?

The only thing missing is doing these things openly and honestly, although...it's almost the same.

The people who were following Clara were working for a noble who had some connections with the minister. They were mainly responsible for usury, transactions of drugs such as marijuana, and human trafficking.

It is also necessary to select suitable beauties with no background, and either sell them directly to brothels or underground auctions, or offer them to the boss above.

Regardless of whether these targeted people surrender or not, their fate is miserable. It is even better to be sold to a sex shop, at least they can live a little longer.

Even though that was just a last gasp.

The number of customers received every day would make people collapse. Those who don't cooperate will be given addictive drugs to squeeze out the last bit of value.

This is the most prosperous imperial capital of this thousand-year-old empire, but it is almost entirely filled with devils wearing human skin, eating human flesh and drinking human blood.

They knew very little about the minister and Esdeath. They only knew that Esdeath was currently fighting against foreign races at the border.

"We have told you everything we know. Please, sir, spare our lives."

After telling Clara everything they knew, they begged for mercy once more.

Even if they died, that adult would not do anything to an imperial weapon user. Trying to threaten her with that adult would be completely useless.

"Mr. Swarlow..."

Clara didn't answer, but looked at Swarovski beside her.

【Clara, close your eyes.】

"it is good."

Clara obediently closed her eyes and covered them with her hands.

Then Swarovski made his move, and his ruthless iron hand crushed the two to death without mercy. The most basic way to root out the evil was something that even a machine like Swarovski knew very well.

It’s a pity that I didn’t find out the location of that noble.

Every time, it was the nobles who notified them unilaterally...

[Okay, you can open your eyes now, Clara.]

After getting rid of the two men, Swarovski threw their bodies aside and then spoke to Clara.

Clara opened her beautiful big eyes and looked ahead, only a pool of undried blood.

【Go away, you don't fit in here. 】

After saying this, Swarovski disappeared again.

Clara is indeed not suitable here. There are more people who are eyeing her than just these people. In the eyes of those forces, she is a top prey. Whether she is enjoying herself or selling her for money, it is a good choice.

"I understand, Mr. Swarlow."

Clara didn't want to be watched all the time, so she turned and walked towards another area.

Clara was lucky afterwards and didn't meet anyone following her again, although she always felt that there were many eyes staring at her secretly.

Is it because she is alone and doesn’t look like a native of the imperial capital?

Yu Then at this moment, Clara met Tatsumi on the roadside again.

"Tazmi?"

Clara walked over.

Looking at Tatsumi in front of him, compared to the beginning, he now has completely lost his previous confidence. Instead, he is like an eggplant withered by frost, having lost his vitality.

"Hey, Clara? Why are you here?"

Hearing someone calling him, Tatsumi looked up and was surprised to see it was Clara.

"I'm going to find a place to stay for the night."

It was getting late now, and Clara could only find a suitable place to spend the night.

I don’t know whether the imperial capital has a curfew or not.

Then Clara curiously asked about Tatsumi's situation, although she had already roughly guessed it in her heart.

"Hey, Tatsumi, aren't you going to join the army? Why are you sitting here in a daze?"

"Well..."

Hearing this, Tatsumi suddenly became embarrassed.

He had said confidently before that when they met again, he would already be a famous general of the empire, but it turned out like this.

Although it was embarrassing, he still told his story.

When he joined the army before, he thought that with his ability, he would at least become a general, and if that was not possible, he could just be a captain or a sergeant.

Starting with minions is such a waste of time.

The result is predictable. Because he didn't know the rules and couldn't bribe, he was sent out directly.

The bad luck didn't end there. He then met a kind-hearted man with a big chest, who said he had connections in the military and that as long as he had money, he could get him in directly and become a general.

So the foolish Tatsumi really believed it and gave all his money to the other party. After that, the other party said that he would help him to solve the problem, but there is still no news until now.

Only at this time did Tatsumi realize that he had been deceived.

This made Tatsumi very angry and also very devastated. He failed to join the army, his money was cheated, and he didn't even know where to stay tonight.

“So… that’s how it is.”

Clara listened to him quietly. It was normal that he failed in his visit to the Ministry of War. The girl had already expected this.

But she didn't expect that in the end, Tatsumi's money was still defrauded by someone.

"So what are you going to do next?"

"I do not know."

"But I can't just go back in disgrace. The village still needs me."

Tatsumi shook his head. He didn't know what to do now. This was completely different from what he had expected. He had just arrived in the imperial capital and he had already been taught a lesson.

The people here really can’t be trusted directly.

But even though he was penniless now, he didn't want to just turn around and go back.

Then he thought of his two best friends.

"I don't know where Shayou and Iyeas are now. It would be great if we could find them."

According to the situation at that time, they should have arrived in the imperial capital a few days earlier than him, and perhaps they had found jobs by now.

If we could find them, we would have a place to live, instead of being left with nothing like now.

"Sayu, Iyeas..."

Hearing Tatsumi mention his two best friends, Clara opened her mouth, a little hesitant.

If nothing had changed, those two people would probably be... dead by now, right?

And he was tortured to death...

It’s a pity that Clara didn’t know where the nobleman’s mansion was, otherwise there would be no need to wait for a night attack.

Even if she is not good at fighting, she can ask Mr. Swarlow for help.

Chapter 12 The Development of Change

"Well...if you don't have a place to stay tonight, would you like to go with Clara and find a hotel to stay in first?"
