Furuoki Ōtogawa had extensive experience in infiltration. He knew that the more crucial the moment, the more arrogant one had to be. Even a hint of timidity could expose a weakness and lead to being surrounded.
He had to believe, even himself, that he was currently an arrogant and domineering great noble, here to find the Chief of Staff of the Gotei 13.
The two Eleventh Division members were a bit apprehensive about the other party's arrogant attitude. Although these squad members didn't put nobles in their eyes at all, it would be a different story if the other party knew the Chief of Staff.
"The Chief of Staff took the day off and didn't come. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" the two squad members said.
Furuoki Ōtogawa almost spat out a mouthful of blood. So all the suffering I endured today was for nothing?
Before the two squad members could react to what was happening, Furuoki Ōtogawa had already disappeared from in front of them.
Furuoki Ōtogawa was on the roof, gently rubbing his temples. Calm down! Calm down!
That's right, that kid earlier said that Yamabuki lives with Unohana, the Captain of the Eleventh Division. As long as I follow this woman, I can find out where Yamabuki lives.
I am truly too clever!
At this time, Unohana hadn't gone far. Furuoki Ōtogawa quietly followed Unohana from a distance.
However, not long after, Unohana felt a faint killing intent from behind her and immediately turned around: "Who?"
Furuoki Ōtogawa was startled, then realized that he had exposed his killing intent due to emotional fluctuations. He immediately adjusted his emotions, letting the killing intent slowly fade!
Unohana did feel a killing intent, but it quickly disappeared.
"Was it my imagination? Am I too tired from work? Or have I killed too few people these past few days and am having hallucinations?" Unohana muttered to herself.
After Unohana left, Furuoki Ōtogawa finally breathed a sigh of relief. As expected of a master, to be able to detect the emitted killing intent so easily. It seems I was too focused on appearances; this makes me an unqualified assassin.
Furuoki Ōtogawa hurriedly adjusted his mindset and emotions. This time, the killing intent on him was infinitely close to zero, so even the most powerful person would not be able to detect it. Only then did he continue to follow.
"I'm home!" Unohana opened the door and saw that Yamabuki had already prepared dinner at home.
"Chika Shihōin came to visit today and brought some excellent beef. How about we have beef hotpot tonight? Do you want some sake?" Yamabuki had already stewed the meat in the pot and poured two cups of sake, a delicious dinner laid out before them.
"Meat… eating beef! This is too extravagant! I haven't eaten meat in decades, and you dare to eat such luxurious things in front of me! And sake, such high-grade sake, you evil rich people! No wonder someone bought your head!" Furuoki Ōtogawa finally saw Yamabuki.
Originally, he planned to act in the dead of night, but then he thought, wouldn't it be too easy to just kill him like that? I want you to experience the most terrifying thing in this world!
Poverty.
I want you to die of depression in destitution!
This is the most terrifying way to die in this world!
Furuoki Ōtogawa drew his Zanpakuto and pointed the tip of the blade at Yamabuki from a distance: "Curse him, God of Poverty."
The appearance of the blade did not change at all, but the edge emitted an invisible black aura. This black aura, like a venomous snake, drilled into the ground and then crawled towards the target.
Yamabuki and Unohana were eating when they suddenly felt a chill. Yamabuki thought the assassin had found him and hurriedly released his spiritual pressure to investigate.
Investigating spiritual pressure is actually not very reliable.
Even Gin Ichimaru could use Hakufuku to deceive Aizen's detection.
As a killer, Furuoki Ōtogawa naturally knew how to hide his spiritual pressure, so Yamabuki had no harvest.
Little did he know, that black energy had silently burrowed into his body.
"Hehehehe! Yamabuki, accept the most terrifying punishment in this world! My Zanpakuto, after its release, has no attack power or defense, but it can make people plagued by bad luck, and you'll soon go bankrupt. Hahaha! Struggle in your helpless fate!" Furuoki Ōtogawa unleashed the most outrageous Zanpakuto ability.
This was simply a dimensionality reduction attack!
No matter how high Yamabuki's spiritual pressure was, he couldn't grasp the fluctuating financial luck.
Little did he know, his financial luck had already been sucked dry.
"I will watch you go mad and die here! Despair! Howl! Feel the pain of this world!" Furuoki Ōtogawa laughed maniacally like a demon.
Next, all he had to do was wait quietly by the side, waiting for this life's winner to turn into a penniless wretch.
"Damn it, I'm so hungry! I really want to eat meat!"
...
Yamabuki waited and waited but the killer never came to find him, and he even started to doubt his plan. Could it be that this guy didn't care about the money at all? Impossible! According to the intelligence he received, Furuoki Ōtogawa was a miser who valued money more than his life. He had directly raided his lair, so at this point, he should have been fighting him to the death, but why hadn't he come to find him?
Because it had just rained yesterday, the weather today was very cool. Yamabuki prepared to go to his clothing store to take a look.
The only reason he could support his family despite being owed half a year's salary was this small clothing store.
But when he went there today, he found that there seemed to be a small problem.
Many girls were gathered at the entrance, indignantly saying something.
Senjumaru Shutara and Yamatake Chiyo were comforting these customers.
"What happened?" Yamabuki asked.
Senjumaru Shutara showed a pained expression: "The swimsuits in the front had a problem. There was a big flaw in the production of one batch of swimsuits, which resulted in many girls' swimsuits easily tearing when they went swimming. Look, these are all here for returns."
"Hmm???" Yamabuki's face changed slightly. What was going on? This shouldn't be happening!
However, as a boss, he immediately set about resolving the matter.
"Everyone, don't worry. If it's truly a quality issue with the clothing, we will refund double!" Yamabuki knew that he only had so many customers. If his reputation was ruined, how would his store continue to operate?
After spending a large sum of money to appease these customers, Yamabuki and Senjumaru Shutara immediately inspected the swimsuits. They found that the fabric used for these swimsuits was of inferior quality, and its strength was far less than that of the genuine fabric.
"It's probably that the person who purchased the fabric made a mistake. I need to go to the production factory," Yamabuki said.
