A team, in the office.
"Old man, everything is ready. When do you think the funeral for the vice-captain of Sparrow Clan will begin?”
Harumi brought her adjutant, Ise Nanori, into the office. At the same time, the other eleven captains were also in the office.
Standing at the head of the group with his back facing the captains, Yamamoto Genyanagi Shigekuni did not say a word.
Seeing Head Captain Yamamoto like this, Kyoko Harumi could only lower the brim of her coir raincoat and silently go to her seat.
After a long silence, Head Captain Yamamoto opened his eyes.
"Have you investigated the team members who killed the intruders outside the Black-edged Gate?”
"I've already investigated."
As the captain of the Eighth Division, Jing Le Chun Shui immediately stepped forward and reported in a low voice,""Duke, born in Nanmian District. He enrolled in Zhenyang Spiritual Academy ten years ago with excellent results. Half a year later, he was recruited to work in Nanling Court.”
"Because he was serious and efficient, he was promoted continuously for ten years until he entered the first team.”
"I don't see anything special about this person. Other than never working overtime and hanging around the streets, I can't find any fault with him. He has always had a good reputation and has never had any bad records.”
Jing Le Chun Shui paused and said with a complicated expression,""If staying at Flower Street without paying is considered a bad record, then he has only one bad record.”
"Other than that, there's nothing else special.”
"That's all we've found out about Duke.”
Harushui quickly returned to the team after he finished speaking. Opposite him, Hitsugaya Fuyunshiro crossed his arms and said,"His performance in the past ten years was mediocre, and he didn't show any special characteristics. It seemed that this guy had hidden himself very well!”
"Yes, to be able to kill an intruder who could even kill vice-captain Sparrow Minotaku Jiro in one hit and kill more than a hundred members at the same time, this guy's strength is probably above ours.”
Shutake Juushirou folded his hands in his sleeves and lowered his head with his eyes closed.
"But after he was exposed, his attitude of admitting defeat was very obvious.”
?" This might be his attitude,"? Mao Zhihua Lie said in a low voice.”
"We have to be wary of him becoming the next Aizen!”
Xiumu Baizai, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly spoke, causing the atmosphere in the office to become heavy.
"Lan Ran!"
"An ambitious person that only appears once every thousand years, how can there be two in the same era!”
" No matter what, this guy has been hiding for ten years. Even if he's not someone like Aizen, he might still have some plans.”
"That's right. We can't just leave it alone.”
"But at this stage, there are tigers and wolves on the outside and worries on the inside. What we need to pay attention to is not his goal, but how to deal with him.”
"I agree with you on this point. With the enemy in front of us, we must resolve our internal problems!”
"But what should we do?"
"A guy with the strength of a captain, no matter how we deal with him, it's hard to say!”
"If he is directly sent to the underground prison, it will be difficult to convince the public. After all, in the eyes of the other members, this guy is the hero who saved the Xiaoling Court.”
"It's very difficult!"
.......
As the team leaders discussed Duke, Captain Yamamoto raised his walking stick and slammed it down.
Thump!
In just a moment, everyone fell silent and lowered their heads, not saying anything.
"Bring Duke here. I want to interrogate him personally.”
When Yamamoto Genyanagi said this, all the team leaders looked at each other. However, this was their leader, so no one dared to disobey him.
Therefore, Duke was brought to the First Squad's office only six minutes after Yamamoto Mogenyanagi spoke.
Duke slowly walked into the office with his hands and feet shackled. Under the gazes of the team leaders, he stopped three meters away from the Gengmu sword standing at the end.
The eye-patch-wearing Mu Jianba sized up Duke with interest, as if he was sizing up his prey.
"Captain Gengmu, don't look at me like that. I'm panicking when you look at me like that.”
Duke was well aware of Gengmu Sword Eight's personality. If he was targeted by such a sword maniac, he would probably not have a peaceful life in the future.
To Duke, killing Gengmu Shanba wasn't difficult.
However, in the current situation, if he killed the other party, he would not have a peaceful life for the rest of his life.
Especially under the system's request, he could only trigger the system in the Xiaoling Court. Once he left the Xiaoling Court, there would be no way for him to rise.
This was also the reason why Duke didn't fall out with them.
Compared to a moment of glory and humiliation, Duke was more inclined to become stronger, evolve, and break through the boundaries in front of him to obtain true freedom.
That was why Duke didn't resist when he was discovered.
If he couldn't kill Gengmu Shanba, it would be useless to beat him into submission.
The more you resist, the more excited he will be.
"Ha, interesting fellow."
Gengmu Sword Eight grinned and let out a light laugh.
"Silence in front of Head Captain Yamamoto!”
Sui Feng shouted, but no one paid her any attention. They were still looking at Duke, but not like Mu Jianba.
"Brat."
Yamamoto Genyanagi turned around. His calm face hid a monstrous anger and unspeakable sadness.
His disciple and right-hand man, who had been by his side for hundreds of years, had been killed. This had caused Yamamoto Genyanagi Shigekuni to sink into unspeakable anger.
At the same time, there was also the sadness of losing an old friend.
"Yes, Head Captain."
Duke straightened his attitude and stopped smiling like before.
"Answer me, why are you hiding your power?”
Yamamoto Genyanagi went straight to the point. Duke blinked his eyes and knew that the highlight was coming. Whether he could continue to work from 9 to 5 and clock in would depend on what happened next.
"Oh!"
Duke pondered for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly and said,""You might not believe me if I tell you."
"Just say it."
Yamamoto Genyanagi looked at Duke calmly. Duke shrugged." I'm just afraid of trouble."”
"Afraid of trouble?"
Sui Feng widened his eyes, and the rest of the team leaders also looked at Duke with strange expressions.
"That's right. Since ancient times, Luoling Court has always believed that the capable should take the position. But what do you get from the position of captain?”
Duke asked all the captains present," Power? Fame? Status? Money?"
"I think it's endless trouble and a burden that can't be unloaded!”
"Showing off your strength and becoming a leader with real power is indeed great, but there are a lot of things to do every day.”
"Every day, I have to do countless paperwork, put on airs, socialize, coordinate, and go to the front line from time to time to fight for the Corpse Soul World.”
"In addition, in recent years, there have been more and more troubles. Becoming the captain is only adding to my troubles.”
"Let's not talk about the distant ones. Just the traveling disaster led by Amagasaki Ichigo a few years ago, the soul hunt organized by the 12th Division, and the faceless and virtual circle forces led by Aizen.”
"Each and every one of them is troublesome."
"If I really reveal my strength, I might have to go to the battlefield and face these big troubles face to face.”
"I don't want to do that. It's too tiring. I want to work from nine to five, clock in at work, and slack off after work!!”
The disdain in Duke's words made veins appear on Yamamoto's forehead.
The Zhenyang Spiritual Academy nurtured people who were loyal to the Spiritual Court, the 13th Court Guard Team, and the Spiritual King Palace, and who dared to take responsibility.
But why was there such an unconventional person like Duke?
Because he was afraid of trouble and responsibility, he hid himself for ten years.
Duke seemed to be completely unaware of the change in Yamamoto's facial expression as he continued to speak.
"Besides, isn't becoming stronger for freedom? Isn't it for being carefree and doing what you want?”
"If I blindly let the shackles bind me, what's the point?”
Duke let out a long breath.
"I don't know what everyone is thinking, but for me, I usually work from nine to five, clock in for work, and go to the flower street to drink some wine and sleep with a courtesan after work. I won't change my position as the head captain even if I'm given such a leisurely and godly life.”
Duke's face was filled with disdain. He was clearly mocking all the captains present for being idiots.
