The Ishida Family's Dinner Party

Ryūken Ishida nodded. "According to Tokoyo Misao, Aizen's Hōgyoku was already fully fused a month ago, and it's highly likely that it has now integrated Hueco Mundo's military."

At this point, Cang Du spoke up with dissatisfaction, "This kind of thing doesn't even qualify as major intelligence."

The Wandenreich had already anticipated when the Hōgyoku would successfully fuse and how long Aizen would need to integrate Hueco Mundo, so this intelligence was of no use.

Ryūken Ishida lowered his head slightly, his glasses reflecting a white light, and spoke softly, "Aizen seems to want to deal with the Wandenreich first."

"What?" Cang Du shouted urgently, "Where did you get this information from?"

Ryūken Ishida raised his head and looked at Haschwalth, whose expression remained calm. He was surprised that Hasward could remain unfazed even after hearing such information.

He continued, "There was a saying that Tokoyo Misao once believed that as long as one has a sufficient understanding of all the information in the world, one can predict the future to a certain extent."

Therefore, after deduction, he concluded that Aizen hadn't made a move yet precisely because of the existence of the Wandenreich.

After listening, Haschwalth remained silent, standing still for a long while before finally speaking, "I see, that's certainly very possible."

The existence of our Wandenreich has long been revealed by Tokoyo Misao.

Even if Aizen wanted to attack Soul Society, he would definitely worry that we would end up Momo, so he chose to remain inactive.

I just didn't expect that such an arrogant guy would actually back down.

In Haschwalth's eyes, Aizen's actions were a sign of retreat.

"That's right!" Cang Du loudly echoed, "That kind of guy, Aizen, dares to dream of becoming a god."

If it were His Majesty, no matter what enemies lay ahead or what rats were lurking in the shadows, he would crush them all with absolute power.

This is a true king, this is a true god.

Haschwalth merely glanced at Cang Du out of the corner of his eye before speaking, "His Majesty may be sleeping for a rather long time this time."

Upon hearing this, Ryūken Ishida immediately said, "I have an idea. There are currently four Special War Powers in reality, and I have a good relationship with three of them."

Of all these people, Orihime Inoue is the least wary. If I invite her to my home, she shouldn't refuse.

Cang Du frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Haschwalth's eyes flashed. "Orihime Inoue's abilities are very strong; it will be difficult for you to kill her."

It was only then that Cang Du realized what was happening.

Over the years, he had also come to know that Uryū Ishida, Inoue Orihime, and Orihime Inoue Ichigo Kurosaki very close friends.

If it were Ryūken Ishida who extended the invitation, Orihime Inoue would have no doubts and would have gone to his house as a guest.

If a trap is set in advance and a sneak attack is launched the moment the enemy enters the Ishida Family, it is highly likely that a Special War Powers will be eliminated in advance.

You must know, that was one of the combat forces personally selected by His Majesty.

Being able to eliminate potential threats in advance is absolutely beneficial to the empire.

He spoke emotionally, "My abilities can restrain Orihime Inoue. If we add another knight with annihilation abilities, the success rate is extremely high."

Haschwalth remained silent.

He still doesn't fully trust Ryūken Ishida, and even wonders if this is a trap set by the other party.

Suddenly, he saw someone passing by the door, his eyes flashed, and he called out, "Bazz-B."

Bazz-B was idly strolling down the corridor, heard the shout and turned around with an annoyed look, "What?"

"I have a mission for you," Haschwalth said calmly.

"A mission? When have I ever needed you to give me orders?" Bazz-B's attitude was extremely arrogant.

Seeing this, Cang Du roared angrily, "Bazz-B, His Majesty has long said that during his slumber, all matters Wandenreich shall be decided by Haschwalth. Are you disobeying His Majesty's orders?"

"Hmph, "Bazz-B snorted unhappily, stepping forward. "Speak, what is it?"

Haschwalth revealed his plan to ambush and Orihime Inoue.

Bazz-B's face suddenly turned cold. "Haschwalth, when did you become so despicable?"

"Despicable? Removing obstacles for the empire, no matter what means are used, cannot be considered despicable!" Cang Du raged again.

Bazz-B then turned to Ryūken Ishida: "And you, how could you lay a hand on your own son's best friend?"

Ryūken Ishida remained expressionless and replied, "It's all for the Empire."

"Hmph, fine, I'll go with you. When will the arrangements be made?" Bazz-B said.

Haschwalth spoke coldly, "Now."

"Then let's hurry up and go." Bazz-B turned and walked towards the Wahrwelt, and Ryūken Ishida turned and followed.

As Cang Du tried to catch up, Haschwalth walked up to him and whispered something in his ear:

"Never let Ryūken Ishida out of your sight. If he makes any unusual move, kill him on the spot."

Cang Du nodded knowingly.

In the corridor of the Wahrwelt, Bazz-B said to Ryūken Ishida with a displeased expression:

Why didn't you propose this plan when Tokoyo Misao World of the Living?

I remember that Orihime Inoue and your son have been attending school for the past few years, haven't they?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Du, who had followed, suddenly widened his eyes.

Only then did he realize that he had been misled by Ryūken Ishida's so-called good news, and that his own loyalty in wanting to serve the empire had blinded him.

It's incredible that such a critical flaw was pointed out by a reckless man Bazz-B.

However, this also made Cang Du even more convinced of Haschwalth's judgment.

Ryūken Ishida remained unfazed. "A time window."

He reached up and adjusted his glasses, then explained, "Our Wandenreich has been waiting for His Majesty's full awakening."

If we had acted a few years earlier, even if we had succeeded, it would have only made Tokoyo Misao all his attention on the Wandenreich.

He is also a high-ranking noble and captain in Soul Society, enjoying immense authority.

Several years ago, Aizen hadn't yet betrayed Soul Society, so for our Wandenreich, this wasn't a good move.

Cang Du, listening from the side, nodded repeatedly. "That's right, Ryūken Ishida is not wrong. If we make a move too early, it will only attract the attention of the entire Soul Society."

Moreover, judging from Aizen's current actions, he might continue to hide until he cooperates with Soul Society to find the Wandenreich, causing both of us to suffer heavy losses, before finally striking and becoming the last mantis stalking the cicada.

Bazz-B's eyes narrowed.

He didn't entirely trust this claim.

From the moment Ryūken Ishida arrived at Wahrwelt, he felt that this guy was one of his kind, so he continued to ask:

"Why now? It will still be some time before His Majesty fully awakens. Attracting the attention of those Tokoyo Misao in World of the Living mortal world at this time would be detrimental to the empire, wouldn't it?"

Cang Du frowned; he felt that Bazz-B's words also made a lot of sense.

At this moment, Ryūken Ishida calmly said, "Because Aizen has become a major threat to Soul Society."

Even if Orihime Inoue were eliminated at this time, Tokoyo Misao might go mad and even run back to Seireitei, wanting to mobilize all the power of Soul Society to deal with the Wandenreich.

But the Gotei 13 would never allow it; after all, he was just a high-ranking nobleman and a captain, not the Captain-Commander.

That's why I determined that this was the optimal time.

This explanation made Cang Du nod repeatedly.

Indeed, the Soul Society is already stretched to the limit under Aizen's threat, like a rope about to break; they can see it even from the shadows.

If an attack were to be made on Orihime Inoue in the World of the Living at this time, given the composed nature of Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, he would never allow this matter to affect Soul Society, causing this taut rope to snap.

In the end, it's just those people Tokoyo Misao World of the Living. They might even be able to frame Hueco Mundo and make them rush over there to fight Aizen.

Thinking of this, he grinned, quite pleased with his plan, and then said:

"Bazz-B, don't kill Orihime Inoue outright, just seriously injure her, then we'll stage the scene to make it look like she was killed by a Hollow."

After saying this, he raised his head and revealed a smug smile.

"Huh?" Bazz-B asked in surprise.

Ryūken Ishida adjusted his glasses again. "Frame Hueco Mundo? That's certainly an option."

Moreover, given Tokoyo Misao's protective nature, he would immediately open Hueco Mundo and rush over as soon as there was even the slightest trace. This is a very good strategy.

Upon hearing Ryūken Ishida's affirmation, Cang Du tilted his head back slightly and straightened his chest.

Bazz-B narrowed his eyes and didn't press the matter further.

The three arrived Wahrwelt. Bazz-B casually waved his hand, unleashing his shadow ability to open a dark door, and stepped inside.

Cang Du waited where he was, watching Ryūken Ishida, and only followed him after he entered the door.

On a hilltop on the outskirts of Karakura Town.

As soon as Ryūken Ishida and the others appeared, Cang Du couldn't wait to say:

"Call Orihime Inoue to your home. It would be best if your wife prepared a sumptuous dinner."

As he said this, he placed his hand firmly on Ryūken Ishida's shoulder.

He knew that this man cherished his wife very much, so Kanae Katagiri had to be involved in the trap to assassinate Orihime Inoue.

Without any hesitation, Ryūken Ishida took out his phone and dialed. "Kanae, cook a few more dishes today. I'd like to invite Orihime Inoue to our house for dinner."

Fish? Not bad.

Spare ribs are fine too, let's include both.

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and only then did Cang Du's grip loosen slightly.

Meanwhile, Bazz-B, standing nearby, said with a hint of envy, "That's great, we get to eat fish and ribs. After the battle, can we eat before we leave?"

Cang Du turned his head and glared fiercely at Bazz-B.

At this moment, Ryūken Ishida dialed the phone again. "Hello, Orihime Inoue? This is your Uncle Ryūken."

Do you want to come over for dinner tonight? We have fish and pork ribs.

Oh, and if Ichigo's here, let's call him too.

Upon hearing this, Cang Du's eyes sharpened, but he was met with a cold glare from Ryūken Ishida.

"Ichigo's training? Are you coming? Okay, I'll wait for you."

Ryūken Ishida hung up the phone, turned around and said coldly, "If I hadn't mentioned Ichigo Kurosaki just now, Orihime Inoue would definitely have noticed something was wrong."

Everything's arranged, let's go.

Cang Du nodded, accepting this explanation.

He and Bazz-B followed.

Meanwhile, on the other end, Orihime Inoue turned her head and said:

"Master, Uncle Ryūken... suddenly invited me to his house for dinner."

Tokoyo Misao smiled and said, "Then go ahead."

Orihime walked out of the merchant guild.

Tokoyo Misao and Kisuke Urahara concealed their presence and followed at a distance.

Chapter 174 The Ishida Family Dinner

At the entrance of the Ishida Family.

Ryūken Ishida glanced at the living room light through the front door, saw the faint yellow glow, immediately reached out to use electronic authentication, opened the door, and walked straight in.

Bazz-B frowned and stared at his back, not following.

Cang Du asked in a low voice, "What? Did you notice something wrong?"

He now admits that he had misunderstood this guy, Bazz-B.

Although the other party was reckless, their intuition was very sharp, and they might have discovered some suspicious points that he had not noticed.

Bazz-B's eyes darted left and right, then he grinned after a moment.

"You go in first. If you don't succeed on the first try, I'll wait for her at the door."

If you trap Orihime Inoue, then I'll go in and kill her.
