It's late at night.
Yamatake Chiaki returned home drunk.
Although the Yamatake family was a noble family of high rank, their family fortunes declined due to their declining population. By the time of their generation, the family's wealth was no longer as strong as before.
And Yamatake Chiaki got addicted to gambling, which made the already not-so-wealthy family even worse off.
However, life at home has suddenly become better these past two days.
He reached out and patted his pockets, which were full of gold.
This is not because Chiaki was lucky enough to make money, but because he "sold" his own sister, which was a political marriage.
The other party was a middle-class noble. His status was obviously far lower than that of his own family, but he became a wealthy man because of proper management.
Noble rank does not represent wealth.
For example, the Omaeda family was just a lower-class noble family, but they became very rich because they started a jewelry business.
And nobles like Yamatake Chiaki, who don't know how to run a business, sometimes live in poverty.
When making this decision, Yamatake Chiaki hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the shining gold that the other party brought, he immediately fell for it. Half a month later, his sister will marry a complete stranger. As for whether she will be happy in the future?
Haha, what does it have to do with me?
This money is enough for me to enjoy life for a while.
And I am the head of this family, so all of you must listen to me.
Yamatake Chiaki staggered in the courtyard, looking at the moonlight in the sky and grinning foolishly.
"Brother, why did you drink so much again?" A little girl walked out of the room. She looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. She was well-behaved and cute. She was wearing a gorgeous twelve-piece kimono. She looked like a well-behaved little princess.
"Chiyo? Come here and let your brother see you. Alas, if it wasn't absolutely necessary, your brother would really not want to let you go! For the sake of our family's revival, I have to let you down." Chiaki sighed and then took another sip of wine.
"Don't worry, brother. I will be good and obedient. Hmm? Brother, why do you have a gentian flower on your body?" Yamatake Chiyo asked curiously.
Yamatake Chiaki didn't know when a gentian flower appeared on his body. He picked the flower and threw it aside: "Don't worry about it, go back to sleep."
"But brother, I want to see the moon again..."
"Go back to sleep!" Yamatake Chiaki's voice suddenly became louder. He would not allow the only person he could control to rebel against him.
The little girl was afraid of making her brother angry, so she could only go back to her room and sleep obediently.
After Chiyo returned to the room, Chiaki looked at the moonlight in the sky leisurely. He planned to use the money to find a woman to marry and then have a few more daughters. These daughters could be sold for a good price by then!
Thinking of this, Yamatake Chiaki smiled happily.
I am such a genius! I will use this method to revive my family!
"Why do I always meet people like you?"
Just when he was daydreaming, a lazy voice came from the roof. Yamatake Chiaki looked up hurriedly, only to see a dejected young man sitting on the roof, looking at him with a sigh.
"Who are you? Don't you know this is my home? Get out right now!!!" Yamatake Chiaki cursed.
The young man shook his head and smiled bitterly, then suddenly raised his hand, and a ray of cold light instantly pierced through Yamatake Chiaki's calf.
"Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
Screams echoed through the night sky.
"Chiyo! Chiyo! Come and save me quickly! Chiyo..."
Another ray of cold light pierced through Chiaki's neck and destroyed his vocal cords.
Chiaki opened his mouth in despair, but no sound came out.
"I like simple things. Others give me money, and I help them kill people. It's very simple, and I like it." The young man held a steel spike in his hand, about 20 centimeters long, and aimed it at the center of Chiaki's eyebrows.
"When you go to hell, remember my name..."
With a flash of cold light, the spear instantly pierced through the center of Chiaki's eyebrows.
"My name is Chigiri... Never mind, you can't hear me like this anyway!" Chigiri took out a gentian flower and waved it gently, and the flower fell on Yamatake Chiaki's face.
At this time, the door opened and Chiyo-chan walked out of the room. She had just heard her brother's cry. She looked into the courtyard and immediately saw her brother's miserable appearance. The girl screamed!
"Ah!!!"
Chigiri looked at the girl with a smile and instantly came behind her.
Yamatake Chiyo felt someone behind her and tried to turn around, but something cold touched her cheek.
"Don't look back. Although my employer also wants your life, the time is not now. Stand here obediently. Count to a thousand and then call for help. If you dare to look back or don't do as I say, Big Brother will have no choice but to kill you now!" Chigiri rubbed Chiyo-chan's head, took out a gentian flower, and put it in the girl's hair, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
"I am most afraid of trouble! I don't want to get into any trouble at all. Okay, now you can count." Chigiri said with a smile.
It was already spring, but Chiyo felt cold all over and kept shivering.
"One, two, three..."
"Good boy, count to one thousand before calling for help. I'll keep an eye on you here." After saying this, Chigiri left in an instant.
Chiyo-chan counted from one to one thousand before she dared to scream.
The Gotei 13 arranged a night patrol. When they heard the girl's scream, the patrol members immediately rushed in and found the body on the ground was already cold.
"The person is already dead, hurry up and call for help. These guys are really brave. You are committing a crime right under our noses. You simply don't take our Gotei 13 seriously."
Soon, the warning alarm was sounded, waking up everyone in Seireitei.
The patrol team members drew their Zanpakuto and stood guard around, fearing that the attacker had not gone far and would launch a surprise attack.
Inside the residence of Yamabuki.
The boy and the girl are having a very intense collision.
It means the kind with blood and flesh flying everywhere and sparks splashing.
The underground training room was filled with sword lights. The two's swordsmanship was on par with each other, but under normal circumstances, Yamabuki's reiatsu was far inferior to Unohana's, so Yamabuki wanted to use the collision between him and Unohana to enhance his own reiatsu.
Sure enough, this method is very effective.
Every time after being seriously injured by Unohana and recovering, Yamabuki's own reiatsu would increase.
At this rate, in a year or two at most, even without relying on the Vollständig(Complete Holy Form), Yamabuki's reiatsu would be able to catch up with the current Unohana.
The two were fighting fiercely when suddenly Yamabuki jumped out of the battle circle and said, "Wait a minute, someone is coming from above!"
