Bleach: I'm picking up attributes in Seireitei

Chapter 103 Killing Intent

Shi Tan continued.

"If you handle this matter well, I will promote you to work in my Tsunayo family, and it will be a sure thing for you to enter the core of the Kido Clan's power structure afterward."

"After all, your Great Demon Master was just a retainer of the Shihōin family before."

"In addition, I will help you elevate your family's status, so that no one in the Spirit Court will dare to look down on you again."

.

"Right, Nagano?"

Nagano, who was standing to the side, quickly nodded in agreement.

The group glanced at Nagano, then at Tokina.

These words struck Ayakawa Hiko and the others like a piercing arrow.

Promotion to the core of the Ghost Path Clan and enhancement of their family status are things that extremely touch their G-spot.

Upon hearing Shi Tan's promise, the group unconsciously swallowed hard, and their last trace of worry vanished.

Although they were still worried about Wang Xun's background in the Second Division, they were also afraid that Tetsuzai would turn against them.

But the thought of Shi Tan's backing and the alluring future made it worth the gamble.

Ayakawa Hiko immediately stepped forward, patting his chest to pledge his loyalty.

"Rest assured, Lord Shitan, we will do our utmost to teach that Wang Xun a lesson!"

The others echoed their sentiments, their voices filled with excitement.

"Yes, yes, we're following Lord Shi Tan's orders; we must make Wang Xun pay the price!"

"I am willing to serve Lord Tokinada!"

Shi Tan nodded in satisfaction, his smile growing even more gentle.

But no one noticed the coldness and darkness in his eyes.

He gently raised his hand, feigning a word of advice.

"Okay, just remember to do things discreetly and naturally, don't leave any handle for others, and don't expose your relationship with me."

"After all, Woling Tiezhai is still with the Ghost Path Clan. If he discovers anything, it will not only ruin my plans but also bring trouble to you."

He paused, then continued.

"It's not easy to make a move inside the Spirit Court. What you need to do is lure him outside the Spirit Court."

"Once he gets to Rukongai, I will arrange for someone to teach him a lesson, to avenge you and Shi Ying."

The group nodded in agreement.

"We've got it. Thank you for your guidance, Lord Shi Tan."

"Alright, you guys go back now. I still need to plan this out carefully. I'll have Nagano let you know if there's any news."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Tokina!"

Ayakawa Hiko and the others bowed respectfully, their faces filled with excitement, and then hurriedly left the side room.

Before leaving, Ayakawa Hiko turned back and glanced at Nagano.

He stood in the shadows of the corner, and for some reason, Ayakawa noticed that his body seemed to be trembling slightly.

But he didn't pay attention, thinking he was just seeing things.

They were completely unaware of the icy killing intent that flashed in Shi Tan's eyes, or the deep-seated fear emanating from Nagano Masayasu.

Once the door to the side room was closed and silence returned, the gentle smile on Shi Tan's face vanished without a trace.

That gentle mask was completely torn away, replaced by an expression that was chilling to the extreme.

The air around him instantly turned icy cold, making it hard to breathe.

Masayasu Nagano kept his head down, his whole body stiff, his fingertips clenched so tightly they turned white, and even his breathing became cautious.

"A bunch of fools blinded by greed. But that's fine, the more foolish they are, the easier they are to control."

There was no warmth in Shi Tan's voice.

He raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Masayasu Nagano, every word he uttered carrying an unyielding ruthlessness.

"Nagino, you didn't manage to snag my younger brother, but I kindly gave you a chance. This time, you'd better seize it."

"You know the consequences if you mess this up."

"I understand, please give your instructions, Lord Shitan."

Masayasu Nagano's voice trembled slightly, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He quickly responded.

"Keep an eye on those idiots, memorize their behavior, and make sure they follow my script without making any mistakes."

"If they dare to make decisions on their own, or show the slightest hesitation, they should come back and inform me immediately."

Shi Tan's tone was icy, and his eyes were completely devoid of emotion.

"Yes, I understand."

"Go and make the arrangements. Do not leave any trace of me or the Tsunayo family."

"Set up the trap in a secluded area on the outskirts of Seireitei, so as not to attract anyone's attention."

Shi Tan's voice grew increasingly cold, yet tinged with a hint of amusement.

"After Wang Xun was lured out of Seireitei by those people and arrived at that place, the trap was triggered, and the group died."

"Wang Xun's abilities should allow him to escape by sheer luck. Once the people arranged to clean up the scene, he won't be able to escape the charge of murdering a nobleman."

Upon hearing this, Masayasu Nagano's heart clenched and his whole body went cold.

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Shi Tan's mouth, and the murderous intent in his eyes grew even stronger.

"As long as we create the illusion that Wang Xun was provoked by these people and killed them to silence them in a fit of rage, even if someone wants to protect him, they won't be able to do so."

"And you are the only witness present at the scene, understand?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Masayasu Nagano's body trembled violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

To silence witnesses, abandon children, and frame others—Shi Tan's intentions were incredibly sinister and vicious.

Looking at Shi Tan's sinister face, his fear intensified.

He knew that if he made the slightest mistake, he would become a pawn of Toki Beach, just like Ayakawa Hiko and the others, and die without a burial place.

Shi Tan glanced at him, noticing his fear, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't worry, as long as you do your job well and handle this matter properly for me, I will spare your life and even help you revive the Nagano family."

"But if you dare to play tricks or mess things up, I will make you, and the entire Nagano family, pay the price for your stupidity."

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare! Your subordinate will certainly do your utmost and will never let you down!"

Masayasu Nagano immediately bowed, lowering his head even further, his tone filled with fear and awe.

Shi Tan nodded in satisfaction and waved.

"Alright, go down now and get things arranged as quickly as possible."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

Nagano Masayasu quickly bowed and left the side room.

Inside, tranquility returned.

Shi Tan sat in the main seat, his fingertips caressing the teacup, the coldness in his eyes lingering for a long time.

The thought of Kyoraku Shunsui's recent reappearance at Tsunayoshiro's residence fueled his murderous intent.

Damn Kyoraku, is he trying to give him a piece of his mind again?

ridiculous.

This time, he not only wanted to vent his anger, but also to give Kyoraku Shunsui a good slap in the face.

At the very least, Kyoraku Shunsui needs to know the consequences of provoking him, Tsunayoshi Tokina.

As night deepened, only this dimly lit room reflected a gloomy and obsessive shadow.
