Help! I am bound to Aizen!

Chapter 139

Chapter 139

Seireitei, Central 46 Assembly Hall.

At this moment, the hall was filled with a tense atmosphere.

"…The Tsunayashiro clan colluded with rebels, causing significant casualties among the Gotei 13 squad members!"

"Among them, eighty-six have died, and one hundred seventy-five are severely injured, unable to recover, losing their status as Shinigami!"

"Three captains were led astray by Tsunayashiro's manipulation and stepped onto an evil path!"

"At the same time, the Tsunayashiro clan spread severely erroneous ideologies, slandering the great system that has been upheld in the Soul Society for a million years—this is outright rebellion!"

"The Tsunayashiro clan is full of heinous crimes, unforgivable!"

"I hereby propose stripping them of their status as one of the Five Great Noble Clans and expelling them from Soul Society!"

Behind Seat Number Three, a man shouted passionately.

"How dare you! How dare you slander the Tsunayashiro clan, one of the Five Great Noble Clans?!"

A somewhat sharp voice sounded from behind Seat Number Eight.

"The Tsunayashiro clan is the head of the Five Great Noble Clans! Old Fujita, have you lost your mind? How dare you accuse them without reason!"

"Fujita family! Do you have any evidence for what you just said?"

Upon hearing this, a laugh came from behind Seat Number Twenty-Two:

"Evidence? Not to mention that we certainly have evidence... Kaishi, don't you know in your heart who's behind all this?"

"What do I know? I know you guys are all lackeys of the Kuchiki family!"

"Obstinate and unrepentant!!"

"Framing and false accusations!!"

(t/n; Man it is really starting to sound like a parliament....)

Intense quarrels ran through the entire meeting.

Those on the side of the Kuchiki family continuously hurled various accusations at the Tsunayashiro clan.

Those on the side of the Tsunayashiro clan refuted these accusations one by one, insisting that it was the Kuchiki family who were the traitors colluding with the rebels.

In the shadows, a man hiding behind Seat Number One slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

As the second-generation core figure of the Tsunayashiro clan, his duty was to safeguard the clan's interests in the Central 46 meetings.

Under normal circumstances, if he encountered such a situation, his legs would probably turn to jelly.

With the Kuchiki family leading an all-out offensive, a slight misstep could lead to a disastrous end.

But today... he was not afraid.

Before coming here, the old master had already told him what might happen.

Not only would the Tsunayashiro clan not lose, but they would win, and win beautifully!

As the verbal battle escalated, the four judges responsible for maintaining order spoke out together, demanding the restoration of order.

One of them stood up:

"Since both sides hold their own views, then, according to the rules of the Central 46 forum we shall vote on this."

"Everyone, please vote."

"Decide whether you believe the Tsunayashiro clan is guilty or the Kuchiki family is guilty."

As soon as these words came out, many nobles hiding behind their seats showed shocked expressions.

They had thought that the judges would play the role of mediators, muddying the waters and covering up the matter for now.

Unexpectedly, the judges said such words.

Are they going to completely tear off the facade?

Behind Seat Number Two, Tada, representing the interests of the Kuchiki family, revealed a smile.

Kuchiki, Shih?in, Shiba.

Among the Five Great Noble Clans, three were on their side.

What does the Tsunayashiro clan have to win with?

He said loudly, "The Tsunayashiro clan is guilty!"

As soon as these words came out, the nobles attached to the Kuchiki family all understood what they should do.

One after another, seats began to cast their votes.

A Tsunayashiro member sneered, "The Kuchiki family is guilty!"

The nobles attached to the Tsunayashiro clan followed suit.

Under the recording of the judges, the votes of both sides began to increase rapidly.

Tada frowned slightly, looking toward Seat Number Seven.

There was an elder of the Shih?in family.

Now, the Shih?in family must follow.

The Kuchiki family's votes were not as many as the Tsunayashiro's.

Only if the Shih?in family acted at this time could the advantage shift over!

Behind Seat Number Seven, the Shih?in elder was about to speak when a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

It was a messenger of the Shih?in family, who was allowed to enter and exit the venue.

Under the somewhat puzzled gaze of the elder, the messenger leaned over and quickly whispered something.

Upon hearing this, the elder's eyes widened.

The family head... has disappeared?!

He looked over in shock, lowered his voice, and said, "Did they go somewhere to play?"

The messenger shook his head, "All the elders have sent people to look for them. Whether it's the Onmitsukid? or people sent by the family, no clues can be found."

"According to the information we've gathered, the family head was probably attacked in West District 2 of Rukongai. A huge explosion occurred at the scene, and the family head's life and death are currently unknown!"

"After discussion among the elders, it was decided not to stand out in this meeting and to remain neutral."

"If the family head has really met with misfortune, we must not become enemies with the Tsunayashiro clan!"

The elder's pupils shook.

This...

Remaining neutral sounds nice, but in reality, isn't it just leaning toward the Tsunayashiro clan?

Afterward, the Kuchiki family will never let it go!

At the moment this thought arose, he suddenly understood.

If the Kuchiki family loses today, then in the future... there may be no more Kuchiki family.

That person from the Tsunayashiro clan, whether in strength or character, would never tolerate a defeated Kuchiki family.

At that time, naturally, there would be no need to worry about retaliation from the Kuchiki family.

Is this... really okay?

He trembled slightly and opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

The nobles attached to the Shih?in family looked over in confusion.

Why hasn't the Shih?in family spoken yet?

Right now is the critical moment!

Feeling the gazes from behind the seats, the Shih?in elder took a deep breath.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the main door—

"The meeting is suspended!!"

?!

Hearing this voice, everyone turned to look.

They saw the main door of the hall slowly open.

A figure stood there quietly, leaning on a cane with both hands.

The blazing sunlight outside the door shone into the dim hall.

That tall figure stood in the light.

But the presence so overwhelming that people couldn't look away seemed even more dazzling than the sunlight!

A noble couldn't help but exclaim—

"Yama... Yamamoto Shigekuni?!"

"Genry?sai?!"

"Why would he appear here?!"

"This is the Central 46 meeting!"

"Yamamoto Shigekuni! There's no reason; if you intrude into the venue recklessly, it's a grave offense!"

"Yama... mmph!!"

Amidst a chorus of reprimands, Yamamoto raised his eyes and looked at everyone quietly.

He didn't release any Reiatsu, didn't emit killing intent, nor did he use any abilities.

He just took a look.

Yet it caused the entire hall to fall into dead silence instantly!

Many nobles couldn't help but swallow, their bodies stiff.

Under everyone's gaze, Yamamoto slowly said:

"A major incident has occurred in West District 2 of Rukongai."

"Currently, the attacker's identity and whereabouts are unknown."

"To prevent any issues in the assembly hall, from now on, I will personally preside."

"Before safety is confirmed, the meeting is temporarily suspended."

"As you know... I must ensure everyone's safety."

Hearing Yamamoto's words, some people showed puzzled expressions.

Some were surprised.

And some... couldn't suppress the anger in their eyes!
