"And during the meeting, this guy here was the most vocal."
Genos pointed at Oko, his black eyes and golden pupils flashing with intense disgust.
Then, he glanced at Gan'an and added:
"This one didn't explicitly state his position, but I believe his son's actions represent his stance, so I brought him along too."
"Father! B-Brother!"
In the shelter, Kaguya turned deathly pale and instinctively tried to rush to the scene.
Luckily, Hayasaka Ai, disguised as a regular student, reacted swiftly, grabbing Kaguya and holding her tightly in her arms.
Their relationship was nominally that of a maid and her young mistress.
But in reality, it was more like sisters.
Hayasaka knew very well that if Kaguya dared to step outside now, there would be only one outcome.
…
Oko, who had been thrown to the ground by Genos, looked up and met Lott's downward gaze.
"Eh!?"
Oko shuddered in terror, collapsing back onto the ground a second time. His legs trembled violently as he scrambled backward.
But he soon felt his back hit something hard.
Turning his head, he met Genos's cold, ruthless eyes, which were even more chilling than Lott's.
"I heard you were quite active in the meeting just now~"
Lott looked down at him, a smile playing on his lips as he asked:
"Not finished? Huh? It seems you really want to challenge me. Do you have the strength to challenge me, Lott?"
"I... I, I-I-I..."
Oko's expression was now identical to the [Deserter King] Koby's during the Marineford War, when he was crying and snotting, trying to stop Akainu.
He trembled for a long time, unable to form a complete sentence.
"Nothing to say now? Not so tough anymore?"
Lott looked bored, withdrew his gaze, and gave a slight wave of his hand.
Behind Oko, Genos's right palm glowed with an orange-red thermal energy, aiming from behind at Oko's shiny bald head.
"N-No, please, I b-beg you, l-let me-"
The heat emanating from Genos's palm behind him began to warm Oko's body, but all he could feel was an endless chill.
At this critical moment of life and death, he finally managed to force out a complete sentence.
Whoosh- Roar!
However, before Oko could utter the final word 'go', the orange-red heat beam passed through his head.
The next second, only a headless corpse remained.
The high temperature cauterized the wound, so no blood even flowed out.
"Eh?!"
Seeing Oko's fate, the others who had also been captured, like Azami and Gozaburo, felt a soul-deep fear well up inside them.
They knew very well that Oko was just the beginning.
Their turn was coming soon.
"Wah..."
In the shelter, Kaguya couldn't hold back low sobs.
Her relationship with this brother, who is nearly thirty years her senior, wasn't great.
But they still shared the same blood.
Someone she had sat and eaten with not long ago had suddenly become a headless corpse.
The impact was too great for a seventeen-year-old girl.
Hayasaka, holding Kaguya tightly, felt the same fear but also a hidden thrill.
Because her true identity was the 'monitor' placed beside Kaguya by Oko.
But during their time together, she had developed genuine sisterly feelings for Kaguya.
Now that Oko was dead, didn't that mean no one knew her secret anymore?
…
Gozaburo: "I... I was just forced by the circumstances earlier! L-Let me go! I... I'll give you any amount of money! I'll give you one billion, no, ten billion..."
Seeing Genos approach him, the usually overbearing Kaiba Gozaburo wasn't in much better shape.
He fell to his knees, frantically pulling out various black cards from his expensive suit.
Genos's expression didn't change in the slightest.
A sharp, long blade, similar to Wolverine's, extended from the elbow of his right arm.
It directly pierced Kaiba Gozaburo's throat, stopping his words in their tracks.
When Genos pulled the blade out, the blood spurting from Kaiba Gozaburo's throat splattered exactly onto the black cards on the ground.
Money?
How boring.
Next, the head of the Four Great Conglomerate, Totsuki Family, Azami.
A man with a gloomy, unpleasant demeanor but quite handsome features, looking only in his early thirties.
When he saw Genos walking towards him, swinging the blade dripping with blood drops, this head of a Great Conglomerate could no longer maintain his usual suave demeanor.
Under normal circumstances, he might also try to bribe the other party with money.
But Gozaburo was a clear precedent.
So Azami's mind raced, and he quickly pulled out his phone.
Facing Lott, he said:
"M-My daughter and niece are very beautiful! You... oh no, as long as you spare my life, I'm willing to give them to you! I-If that's not enough! M-My sister-in-law is also very beautiful!"
The spectators across the universe were dumbfounded.
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed somewhat logical.
If money is useless, then try women.
While saying this, Azami swiped through his phone with the fastest speed of his life.
Showing pictures of his daughter Erina, his niece Alice, and his sister-in-law, Nakiri Leonora.
It had to be said, they were indeed rare beauties.
…
[Aizen: Heh~]
In Las Noches on the Planet Shinigami.
Aizen Sosuke, who had just been shocked by the power Lott displayed, couldn't help but laugh upon seeing Azami's actions.
In his opinion, Azami was as foolish as Gozaburo.
How could someone with power lack money or women?
Of course, Aizen himself had no interest in women.
