Chapter 655: Although His Talent Was Lacking

It was none other than his younger brother, who was also the family head.

The two brothers, though their talent was lacking.

Nevertheless, they were still very loyal to the family.

Who would have thought that in the end, they would still die in battle here.

Watching the scene in the field, he knew clearly in his heart that there was probably no room left to salvage anything from today's events.

Then, he opened his mouth and said.

"Let's go, follow me back to the palace!"

As his words fell.

He led the crowd, walking toward the palace.

A dense, oppressive aura radiated from his body.

12　　He was the young master of the Kuchiki family, Kuchiki Chiba.

And beside him.

A woman of sturdy build was supporting him.

It was none other than Yanagiō Sakurako.

"Brother, how is your body? Let me help you inside!"

Her voice was incomparably gentle.

But Kuchiki Chiba shook his head, refusing her.

He understood in his heart that today he was bound to die within the imperial city.

His own nephew had rebelled, and even slain his own brothers.

This time, no matter which matter it was.

It was enough to cost him his life.

Therefore, he immediately opened his mouth and said.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

A forlorn air seeped through his voice.

"Bang bang!"

And just at this moment, the sound of knocking came once again from outside the great door.

Causing Kuchiki Chiba to frown.

"Who!"

"My lord, the Young Lady has returned!"

Upon hearing the voice, an expression of pleasant surprise involuntarily surfaced on Kuchiki Senya's face.

"Come in!"

He said.

Then, the great door was pushed open.

A graceful figure appeared within the room.

It was none other than the eldest Young Lady, clad in a robe of red; a look of excitement gleamed in her beautiful eyes as she gazed at Kuchiki Chiba.

Just now, she had nearly died at the hands of those black-armored ninja.

Had she not dodged in time, she would likely have perished long ago.

"Brother!"

An excited cry escaped her lips.

But at the same time, her heart also sank to the bottom.

Her aunt had also perished in yesterday's great fire.

Now, seeing her uncle gravely wounded as well, such a blow made her delicate frame tremble uncontrollably.

"Are you all right!"

Upon hearing the voice, Kuchiki Senya asked with concern.

"I'm fine, thank you, Brother, for saving me!"

Upon hearing the voice, the eldest Young Lady said slowly.

She knew that without him, she might already be dead.

However, just at this moment, she caught sight of the corpses on the ground.

A flash of shock surfaced in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She did not believe her own brother would commit such a heinous act.

"These people—did you kill them?"

She asked again, her tone exceedingly indifferent.

And upon hearing the voice, Kuchiki Senya merely smiled and nodded, offering no denial.

After all, the facts were laid out plainly before them.

"Why would you do this!"

And just as he was preparing to continue his questioning.

The eldest Young Lady's voice rang out once more.

"I wish to become strong—I need more resources.

All these years, you have been cultivating me, yet I never expected today's situation to arise.

Therefore, I cannot let them destroy all of this.

"Only like this can I protect my own family."

Kuchiki Chiba said lightly.

"Brother, I believe in you!"

Hearing the voice, the Young Lady's eyes brimmed with falling tears.

She knew her own brother had suffered since childhood.
