Chapter 657: While the Two Spoke

And as the two spoke, footsteps sounded.

Then, the retainers of the Kuchiki family knelt reverently upon the ground.

Looking at them, Kuchiki Senya spoke coldly.

"After today, all of you step down."

"But keep everything here sealed tight!"

His voice carried a hint of weariness.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the words, the retainers replied.

And right after he finished speaking, they departed.

Now, only Kuchiki Senya and Kuchiki Xueji remained in the hall—brother and sister.

Looking at his sister, he spoke again.

"Xueji, go rest first. I'll handle these matters."

With those words, he waved for her to leave.

"Mm, brother, I'll wait for you to return!"

Upon hearing this, Kuchiki Xueji turned and left.

After she left, Kuchiki Senya bought a ticket to Nan Ying, where he had been hired to eliminate the yakuza boss Sato Sukeji.

This man had once ruined him deeply—now was his chance for revenge.

Yet, as he boarded the flight toward his target zone,

he failed to notice.

At this very moment,

a passenger plane was drawing near.

When the plane landed,

a team from a special division rushed swiftly toward the floor.

"Thud thud!"

Immediately, loud knocking echoed.

"Squeak!"

After a moment, the door was pushed open.

"Lord, you summoned me!"

Kuchiki Senya spoke reverently.

At this moment, he still looked ill.

His frame was emaciated, his legs wrapped in thick bandages.

Clearly, his injuries were severe.

And as soon as he finished speaking,

Kuchiki Senka spoke.

"Senya, tell me—why are you so brutal?

Have you forgotten we are nobility of Tokyo?

How can you ever lead the Kuchiki family like this?"

His voice brimmed with anger.

But alas, he simply would not listen.

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, he only let out a snort.

Then he assigned Kuchiki Senya a mission: assassinate Sato Sukeji, leading a special squad and four ninjas.

Only then would he feel at ease.

And as soon as his order was given,

Kuchiki Senya agreed without hesitation.

Years of restraint—he had endured enough.

Had it not been for his sister,

he would have acted long ago.

Meanwhile, Kuchiki Xueqiu had also arrived outside her aunt's chambers.

Her lovely face bore a solemn expression.

"Auntie, my brother…"

As soon as she crossed the threshold, she spoke.

But as soon as her words ended,

Kuchiki Xueqiu halted her.

"Xueji, I understand your feelings.

But you cannot go now—otherwise, they will all die!"

Kuchiki Xueqiu's voice carried a thread of icy chill.

Upon hearing this,

Kuchiki Xueji's face turned deathly pale.

Yet in the end, she said nothing, and walked away slowly.

All these years, in her heart, she had always felt guilty toward her brother.

Moreover, the other party had a stubborn temperament, and she could not bring herself to force him.

Now, since he was willing to bear this sin, what could she, as his younger sister, do about it?

Just then, while he was thinking.
