In the Kasumioji family, Kumoi Gyokaku wa still handling the housework in an orderly manner. It seemed that he was a conscientious retainer who was dedicated to his work, but inside, he had other ambitions.
As a veteran who had served the Kasumioji family for countless years, he knew better than anyone how weak the Kasumioji family was today.
This could already be seen from the fact that the position of head of the clan had fallen onto the head of a young girl.
Since a little girl could be the head of Kasumioji family, why can't he, Kumoi Gyokaku become the head?
It was not so easy to let go of power once you have experienced it. Thinking that when Rurichiyo grows up, he will need to hand over all the power in his hands to her, he felt very uncomfortable and unwilling.
Therefore, whether it was for the sake of Kasumioji family or for himself, Rurichiyo was better off dead.
Kumoi Gyokaku had already found out that Rurichiyo had fled to the world of living, and he had sent the assassin he had cultivated to the world of living to find her whereabouts. As for whether the assassins could kill Rurichiyo after finding her, Kumoi Gyokaku wasn't sure about it, but even if they couldn't kill Rurichiyo, it didn't matter, as long as that guy made a move, Rurichiyo would definitely die.
Yes, Kumoi Gyokaku was referring of Amagai Shusuke!
(T.L Note: I made a silly mistake in the previous chapters. His last name is Amagai and first name is Shusuke not the other way around)
At this moment, a close aide of his suddenly came to report, "My lord, it's not good..."
"Don't panic like that!" Kumoi Gyokaku seemed very calm, first he scolded his crony, and then asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Yes, … there are a group of shinigami outside."
Kumoi Gyokaku didn't talked any more with the crony and told him to lead the way. Then he quickly followed his cronies and walked out. Immediately, he saw that the place was densely packed with shinigami who were surrounding Kasumioji house, and in front of them stood two conspicuous shinigami, apparently their leader.
Kumoi Gyokaku knew both of them.
Amagai Shusuke, captain of the Fifth Division and Kuchiki Byakuya, captain of the Sixth Division!
He didn't go to exchange greetings with Amagai, but walked up to Byakuya, "I don't know why Captain Kuchiki came to our Kasumioji house suddenly at this hour?"
His posture was extremely low, and he didn't asked Byakuya the reason for so many shinigami surrounding the Kasumioji family's property. In front of the Kuchiki family, the Kasumioji family was nothing worth mentioning. After all, he knew that Byakuya was the current head of the Kuchiki family.
Even if according to his plan, he succeeded in usurping the head position of the Kasumioji family, he still would have no choice but to curry favor with Byakuya when meeting him.
Byakuya glanced at Kumoi Gyokaku, but didn't give any reply to him. After Amagai told him all the ins and outs of the situation, he already knew that the person in front of him was the culprit of the Bakkōtō production, so he didn't intend to talk nonsense with him.
Anyway, Kumoi Gyokaku's life was basically over.
Byakuya waved his arm, and some shinigami behind him moved at that exact moment, heading towards the interior of Kasumioji house.
Kumoi Gyokaku's complexion changed slightly. He couldn't be more clear about what Kasumioji house was hiding inside. While anxious, he still tentatively asked Byakuya, "Captain Kuchiki, what is this?"
"Kumoi Gyokaku, you manipulated Kasumioji family to forge the forbidden weapons known as Bakkōtō privately, so you should be obedient and get arrested." Amagai, who was beside Byakuya, looked at Kumoi Gyokaku and spoke calmly.
Kumoi Gyokaku's complexion no longer had only slight changes, but changed drastically, "Amagai, you…"
Amagai's expression was calm, "The Kisaragi Shin'etsu who sneaked into Kasumioji house to investigate the Bakkōtō incident back then and was caught by you as an experimental subject was my father!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Kumoi Gyokaku was startled, and immediately understood why Amagai suddenly found him and asked about Kisaragi Shin'etsu. Subsequently, he also understood why Byakuya came here together with so many shinigami.
'So he deliberately cooperated with me in order to avenge his father? The reason he contacted me was to collect evidence from me that the Kasumioji family was producing Bakkōtō...'
Kumoi Gyokaku had a guess in his heart and with that guess, he felt that at that moment, he was like an ant on a hot pot and appeared extremely restless.
After all, Amagai knew what he had done. At the same time, the people sent by Byakuya had already entered the interior of Kasumioji house. With Amagai's inside information, they probably will soon find the Bakkōtō that were in the process of being forged.
*Boom*
A loud noise reverberated, and Kumoi Gyokaku's expression changed again at the moment when he heard the sound coming from a distance.
'It has been discovered...'
Just as he had this thought, as expected, a shinigami came to report the situation to Byakuya.
They broke into the depths of Kasumioji house all the way, and found the Bakkōtō that were forged in the Kasumioji family. At that moment when they were collecting evidences, assassins appeared while wielding Bakkōtō and attacked them.
Because they had the benefit of sufficient intelligence, the shinigami had taken precautions and alerts in every of their actions and thus they also responded swiftly.
As for those assassins wielding Bakkōtō, because of the continuation of the battle, some people's spiritual power were soon drained by the Bakkōtō, and then fell into a state of berserk, and then their whole bodies exploded directly.
"It's over, it's all over..."
Kumoi Gyokaku who was quietly listening to the conversation between the shinigami and Byakuya, felt desperate. He looked at Byakuya and Amagai in front of him, and immediately had another thought.
He had the thought to escape!
However, Amagai seemed to have expected what he wanted to do, and made a sudden move, directly restraining Kumoi Gyokaku.
After Kumoi Gyokaku was restrained, the place where the Bakkōtō were still being produced by the Kasumioji family was also discovered.
It hasd become a fact that Kasumioji family was secretly manufacturing the Bakkōtō, a forbidden weapon!
Right now, there was no Central 46 to protect the Kasumioji family, and even if the Central 46 which will later be established wants to protect the Kasumioji family, they will not be able to protect them because the evidence was conclusive.
After all, for some matters, settling them in private and settling them on the surface were completely different things.
Even if the nobles shield each other, on the bright side, Central 46 would never tolerate the behavior of the Kasumioji family be it for the sake of the so-called justice or the reputation of the nobles.
Not to mention, it was Byakuya, the captain of the Sixth Division, who led the team to search Kasumioji house this time.
After Kumoi Gyokaku was imprisoned, the evidence that Kasumioji family forged the Bakkōtō was complete.
Mazuru and Yoruichi, who was forcibly detained in the Soul Society earlier, came to the world of living.
In the end, Sui Feng and Yushiro couldn't get in the way of Yoruichi's continuous requests and became soft-hearted on her and agreed to let Yoruichi go back to the world of living. Of course, the condition was that she needed to come to Soul Society to visit them occasionally.
The reason why they agreed to Yoruichi's departure was mainly because, as time went by, they also found that Yoruichi couldn't blend in the Soul Society at all.
It just so happens that Kasumioji family still had some things that needed to be finished, and so they needed to send someone to the world of living in their stead.
So they simply let Mazuru accompany Yoruichi on a journey to the world of living.
