Death: Captain Millennium

Chapter 334 Choice

The air in the conference room seemed frozen, almost unbearable. Everyone's expression was grave, except for Kuchiki Hibiki, who remained composed. He narrowed his eyes slightly, appearing nonchalant, but in reality, he already had some suspicions in mind.

"Captain Hibiki! Do you know where Captain Byakuya is right now?"

Kyoraku Shunsui broke the silence, his voice echoing in the quiet conference room. As a high-ranking figure in the Kuchiki family, Hibiki must have received some information or rumors beforehand.

In response to Kyoraku Shunsui's question, Hibiki simply shook his head with a hint of apology on his face, "I'm so sorry, Captain Kyoraku. Byakuya left early this morning, and I have no idea where he went."

This matter was quite complex and sensitive. With so many people in the conference room, and their identities varied, Xianghe couldn't bring himself to voice his speculation. It would be more appropriate to wait for his master to arrive and have him personally explain the situation.

As the minutes ticked by, everyone grew increasingly restless. Someone began to murmur, "What the hell is the Captain doing? We're all here, and the meeting hasn't even started yet. Isn't this just a waste of our time?"

Just as everyone was talking, Rukia rushed into the meeting room again. Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to her, and they thought that the captain had finally arrived.

Unfortunately, they were soon disappointed. Rukia hurriedly said, "Captain Unohana, Captain Kyoraku, and Vice Captain Ise, the captain-general would like you three to go to his office first."

Before she finished her words, Rukia turned and left like a whirlwind, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What's going on? It's so mysterious."

The vice-captains and captains were increasingly confused about the tone of the discussion and began to discuss in low voices again.

First, Rukia brought a mysterious woman, and then asked Kyoraku Shunsui and others to go to the captain's office.

When Kyoraku Shunsui and the others stepped into Lin Yu's office, they found that Kuchiki Byakuya was already there, and even Shihouin Yoruichi was there.

Three of the four great noble families have their leaders here, and this matter is becoming more and more interesting.

"Everyone knows that I disappeared some time ago, right?"

Seeing that everyone was present, Lin Yu didn't keep the conversation going any longer and started talking right away.

"I encountered the five great noble ancestors! That's right, the ancestors of you guys! Those five old guys joined forces and almost killed me!"

"Alas, I finally made it back to Soul Society alive. I never even considered pursuing this matter. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and the misfortune will not be passed on to future generations."

"What makes me unhappy is that there are some blind people who just walk right into my gun! Tell me, should I take action to deal with this situation properly?"

Lin Yu said it easily, but the degree of danger can be imagined. He casually threw the detailed investigation report in front of everyone.

"So it's the Tsunayashiro family..."

After quickly flipping through the report in his hand, Chunshui suddenly understood what was going on. He knew that Lin Yu's move was clearly intended to cause trouble for the Tsunayashiro family.

The Tsunayashiro family has a lot of say in Soul Society. If you want to eradicate it completely, all members of the Gotei 13 will have to take action together.

At this moment, Ise Nanao, who had been sitting silently in the corner, timidly raised her right hand and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Um... Captain, I don't think I should be here. Why do I feel like this matter has nothing to do with me at all?"

Hearing this, Lin Yu showed a half-smile, staring straight at Ise Nanao and replied: "Vice-Captain Ise, didn't you hear what I said just now? I emphasized the five great nobles!"

"Could it be..."

The pupils of Baiya and others contracted sharply, as if they had heard some shocking secret, and waves of fear surged in their hearts.

There had always been a lot of speculation about which family the mysterious fifth noble family belonged to. But when Lin Yu said the name "Ise Family," everyone gasped.

"How is this possible! Captain, you must be joking!"

Ise Nanao was dumbfounded. In her understanding, her family was just an ordinary Shinto family and had nothing to do with the so-called five noble families.

Now Lin Yu declared with certainty that the Ise family was the fifth largest noble family that was hidden very deeply. This undoubtedly brought her an unprecedented huge shock.

This feeling is like you, an ordinary ant in the vast sea of ​​people, living a dull life every day, working hard like an ox or a horse, and never complaining.

But suddenly someone shows up and tells you that your family is actually one of the most powerful families in the world, but you have been kept in the dark for a long time. Such an incredible thing, you would never dare to dream of it, right?

"That's so exciting! Teacher, please continue."

Rukia actually started eating the melon. Lin Yu's mouth twitched slightly. He really wanted to slap her again. She was really worrying!

"Konghe, I have some very sad news to tell you. Your ancestor is dead. He was killed by the remaining four noble ancestors."

Lin Yu brought up the matter again. If he didn't talk about it now, he would eventually have to face it in the future. It would be better to die sooner and be reborn sooner, so as to avoid causing other troubles in the future.

"Let him die, then. Do I have to avenge him?"

A bunch of questions popped up in Kūkaku's mind. Her ancestor was dead? But she was a bold person by nature, and the ancestor was too far away for her. Was she really going to draw her sword against Byakuya, Yoruichi and the others for this?

"Captain, is what you said true?"

Although Chunshui believed that Lin Yu would not make up a story in order to eliminate the Tsunayashiro family, he still wanted to confirm this incredible thing again.

"Of course, these old men won't give up until they kill me. Maybe after a while they'll show up in the real world or Soul Society on their own initiative. Then you'll understand I'm not kidding."

Lin Yu has already given several people a shot of prevention. The rest depends on their attitude, whether they choose to stand on his side or choose to support their ancestor whom they have never met.

In fact, Lin Yu was gambling. He was betting that Byakuya and the others would stick to their original intentions as Shinigami. If he lost the bet, the Gotei 13 would probably have to be completely replaced starting today.

Fortunately, he had already rescued the first generation captains from hell, so even if there was a major change, there would be people to fill in, otherwise things would be really serious.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone fell into silence again. Lin Yu's hand involuntarily rested on the hilt of the sword. Although he didn't want to draw his sword against Bai Zai and the others, he had to prepare for the worst.
