"That's right! You lost a lot of money, didn't you? It must be very sad, right? But this is just the beginning! Your financial luck has been sucked dry by my God of Poverty. Become a pauper for me!" Furuoki Ōtogawa's face revealed a sinister smile.
Yamabuki had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.
As soon as Yamabuki arrived at the clothing production factory, he found that the factory was also in a chaotic mess.
"What happened?" Yamabuki asked, frowning.
Most of the workers here were female workers. When selecting people, Yamabuki had specifically chosen people with good tempers for this job. How could it have turned out like this now?
"Boss, we have something to report. The people in the cafeteria are withholding food. It was originally agreed that the meals would be improved every seven days, and everyone would have meat. Yesterday was supposed to be a meat day, but the cafeteria didn't cook meat. When everyone finished work and rested, they discovered that the person in charge of managing the cafeteria had secretly taken the meat home himself," a middle-aged female worker said loudly.
Yamabuki's eyelids twitched. What was going on? How could so many things happen overnight?
"Is this true?" Yamabuki looked at the chefs who cooked for the cafeteria.
These chefs' eyes darted around.
"We really just got carried away, and we won't dare to do it again! We don't know what we were thinking yesterday," these chefs quickly apologized.
Yamabuki vaguely felt that something was wrong.
He understood the character of these chefs. He said it was possible for them to eat a few extra bites normally, but to eat alone here?
Their brains weren't that stupid; if they did that, the workers would definitely cause trouble.
Why was it so easy to recruit workers back then?
It was because the welfare benefits here were high.
There was food, drink, and security.
Moreover, people don't suffer from scarcity but from inequality.
If everyone had no meat to eat, that would be one thing, but why should these chefs eat with oily mouths while we workers starve?
This matter could be big or small.
Yamabuki first stabilized the workers' emotions and promised to improve the meals at noon today, and only then did everyone return to work.
Afterward, Yamabuki found the original purchasing worker and, after inspection, indeed found that it was a raw material problem.
"This material can no longer be used. If we continue to use it, it will have a great impact on our reputation," Yamabuki said.
The raw material purchasing worker had a bitter expression: "But... we've already signed a contract with them before. We must use their fabric for the next few years... otherwise, we'll have to pay a huge breach of contract fee!"
What the hell???
He wasn't cursed, was he?
How come all these money-losing things happened as soon as he woke up this morning?
Actually, with his ability and prestige, forcibly terminating the contract wouldn't be a problem, but how could business be so tough? If he really dared to unilaterally and forcibly terminate the contract, who would dare to cooperate with them in the future?
Once it involves human relations, many aspects cannot be solved by force.
As a result, this matter hadn't even been dealt with yet, and news came from the factory again that someone was causing trouble.
As soon as the trouble was dealt with, news came again that a worker was injured, followed by food poisoning, and Yamabuki paid another large sum for medical expenses!
When he returned home at night, Yamabuki felt completely drained!
What exactly was going on?
Could it be that I secretly ate the Soul King's offerings, so he drew a circle to curse me? He wouldn't be that petty, would he?
Not a single good thing happened all day. If this continues, his factory will close down in at most half a month.
And all of this was seen by Furuoki Ōtogawa.
Watching this hateful winner of life being overwhelmed by various problems, Furuoki Ōtogawa felt incredibly refreshed.
He used to complain why his ability was so useless? It didn't help at all in battle.
But now he realized that not only Zanpakuto that enhance combat power are useful.
Although his sword had no attack power, it was still very powerful, wasn't it?
The most crucial thing is that the ability to absorb financial luck can already be considered metaphysics. Even the Soul Society cannot explain this strange phenomenon.
Yamabuki naturally couldn't discover it either.
Yamabuki hadn't recovered yet when there was a knock on his door. Was Unohana back?
It turned out that it wasn't Unohana who walked in, but Chōjirō Sasakibe.
"Sasakibe? How did you get here? I'm not in the mood to play with you today, and you'd better stay away from me. I've been plagued by bad luck these past few days," Yamabuki said with a bitter smile.
Chōjirō Sasakibe said apologetically, "Brother Yamabuki, it seems you're going to be even unluckier."
Yamabuki suddenly sat up and looked at Chōjirō Sasakibe warily.
Chōjirō Sasakibe pulled out a bill from his clothes and handed it to Yamabuki.
"What does this mean?" Yamabuki asked warily.
"Do you still remember when you fought with Captain Iba and blew up a mountain? Actually, that mountain was private. A great noble bought that mountain and planted a large amount of tea. As a result, the entire mountain was blown away, and naturally, they have to ask the Gotei 13 for compensation... You blew up the mountain, so this compensation should naturally come from you!" Chōjirō Sasakibe said bitterly.
Yamabuki swallowed with difficulty: "It won't be deducted from my salary again, will it?"
"Brother Yamabuki, you're so smart. The Captain Commander has already decided to deduct it from your salary." Chōjirō Sasakibe gave a dry laugh and handed over the fine.
Yamabuki almost vomited three liters of blood.
How long would this take to pay off?
"Then how many years of salary will it take to pay off this bill this time?" Yamabuki asked with difficulty.
Chōjirō Sasakibe pointed to the number on the bill: "About twenty years."
"Hehe, hehehe, I'm tired, let's just destroy it!" Yamabuki's face was filled with despair.
He inexplicably owed another twenty years of salary?
God, are you intentionally playing with me? You don't have to be so obvious, do you?
Or should I just run away to the Quincy side!
But Yhwach, that boss, is really unreliable. Working here at most means owing some money, but if I work there, I might even lose my life. So tired!
Furuoki Ōtogawa looked at Yamabuki's despairing expression, and he was incredibly happy.
Watching this spirited young man gradually turn into a pauper, how wise am I? When this bastard completely becomes a pauper, I will reveal myself and tell him the truth. He will surely be furious, right? At that time, I will kill him. This is truly killing someone's heart.
Presumably, the young man's expression will be very exciting then!
"However, just financial luck might not be enough! Let me add another one!" Furuoki Ōtogawa drew his Zanpakuto again: "Bankai, Shimyo."
