The Soul King above!
The Arisugawa Clan only wanted to strengthen its influence, gain some say among the Lower Aristocrats, and thereby secure more power in the Noble Clan Council.
How had it become a monstrous crime when it came to Su Feng?!
The anger in Kawakawa Kuranosuke's heart was replaced by terror. With a panicked expression, he said:
"Lord Su Feng, it isn't like that. Please, hear my explanation!"
"Our Arisugawa Clan merely wanted to raise our family's standing a little. We absolutely never intended to shake the status of the Five Great Noble Clans!"
Hearing this, Su Feng glanced sideways at Nanao Ise beside him. "Did you write that down?"
"I did." Nanao Ise nodded. "The Arisugawa Clan monopolized the drinking water resources of Inutsuri District for personal gain, causing widespread unrest and the deaths of a large number of souls."
"And..."
Nanao Ise hesitated for a moment, a trace of discomfort appearing on her delicate face.
"Furthermore, Arisugawa Clan member Arisugawa Ryo led several people in an attack on Captain of the Ninth Division Tsunayashiro Su Feng. This has severely violated Soul Society law. The relevant parties must be imprisoned in Prison pending trial!"
Before she had even finished speaking, Kawakawa Kuranosuke had already collapsed onto the ground.
His eyes were vacant, and he suddenly looked haggard, as though he had aged several hundred years in an instant.
There was no point in arguing anymore.
The moment the division members escorted Arisugawa Ryo and the others here, it had already proven the truth of those words.
Kawakawa Kuranosuke could not understand why this heir of the Tsunayashiro Family had become captain of the Ninth Division.
The only possibility he could think of was that Soul Society's future was about to undergo drastic changes.
At Su Feng's signal, the Ninth Division members swarmed forward like hungry wolves and directly sealed Kawakawa Kuranosuke with a Spirit-Restraining Device.
They had waited for this day for a long time.
As Ninth Division members, they could only swallow their anger when faced with the evils committed among the nobility. When had they ever struck out so forcefully like this?
There had never been anything like it in the history of the Ninth Division.
Acting this way was undoubtedly exhilarating for these division members.
Even the looks they gave Su Feng now carried a few more traces of fervor.
Their current captain had given them all of this!
After a thorough search and arrest operation, seventy to eighty percent of the Arisugawa Clan members were taken away.
According to Arisugawa Ryo's testimony, all of them had been involved in the monopoly over Inutsuri District.
Faced with this, Kawakawa Kuranosuke looked ashen, as though every bone in his body had been pulled out.
"Imprison them all in Prison. As for their sentencing..." Su Feng looked at the scene before him with satisfaction and ordered, "Have the First Division notify those people at Central 46 afterward."
"While you're at it, pass along a message for me. Don't make me wait too long."
At this, Nanao Ise parted her lips as if to speak, but stopped herself.
Instead, Rangiku Matsumoto beside her swung an arm around her shoulders and casually advised, "Don't overthink it. You'll get used to it later."
"That's just Su Feng's Style..."
Rangiku Matsumoto's sudden closeness caused a hint of panic to appear on Nanao Ise's usually impassive face.
Ever since Lisa Yadomaru had been exiled to the Human World, this was the first time she had been so intimate with anyone else.
"This mission is finally over. Running back and forth was exhausting."
A relaxed smile spread across Rangiku Matsumoto's lips. "Come on, don't be so stiff and serious!"
"The captain doesn't like subordinates with personalities like that."
"Before the verdict comes down, why don't we go relax a little?"
"How about a drink? I know a high-class—"
Before she could finish, Nanao Ise cut her off. "I don't drink."
"Alcohol numbs the nerves, slows thought processes, and affects work efficiency."
Rangiku Matsumoto was not the slightest bit upset at being interrupted. Instead, she continued thoughtfully, "In that case, how about we go shopping?"
"A new accessory shop just opened in Junrinan's shopping district. The fashions are fresh and trendy!"
Her tone was filled with temptation.
Without a doubt, beneath Rangiku Matsumoto's seemingly carefree personality lay an exceptionally thoughtful mind.
Though they had not spent much time together, she had still accurately grasped Nanao Ise's thoughts and preferences.
Nanao Ise was somewhat tempted.
Shopping was one of her few hobbies besides reading.
Now that someone had invited her, it was truly difficult to refuse.
"But the case files..." she still hesitated.
Before she could finish, Rangiku Matsumoto interrupted her again. "It's just a little work. Leave it to the subordinates."
"If that doesn't work, isn't the captain still here?"
Su Feng smoothly took over the conversation and replied calmly, "Impossible. Don't even think about it."
"I'm not Isshin Shiba. I won't even touch case files."
As captain of the Ninth Division, he could not even remember how many laws Soul Society had. And they wanted him to handle case files?
Had Rangiku lost her mind?
When the time came, he could just have his subordinates compile everything and hand it all over to Nanao Ise to deal with.
It would be a sin against heaven not to make proper use of such a capable subordinate.
Although Nanao Ise was worried about the case files and documents, she could not withstand Rangiku Matsumoto's persistent coaxing, and she herself was quite tempted as well.
Thus, the two openly headed to Junrinan.
As for Su Feng, he returned to the division barracks with the Arisugawa Clan members and went straight to Prison.
He had not forgotten.
There was still a heavyweight figure locked up in there.
Inside Prison.
The arrival of so many people immediately filled half of the empty cells.
The Eleventh Division members who had been imprisoned earlier also stood behind the bars, curiously watching the scene unfold.
"This new captain really is full of energy. How long has it even been since he threw us in here?"
"I know that guy. He clashed with us in Inutsuri District last time. He's a member of the Lower Aristocrat Arisugawa Clan!"
"Guhahaha, a noble being thrown into Prison too? Interesting, far too interesting!"
The place erupted into clamor, like a drop of water falling into a pan of hot oil. The deep prison was filled with noise.
Even Ikkaku Madarame gripped the bars and watched the scene curiously.
He had already experienced Su Feng's Style firsthand.
He had thought that was the limit, but he never expected the man to directly target the nobility.
That really was unexpected.
As Su Feng entered Prison, the previously noisy atmosphere immediately fell silent.
Everyone subconsciously shut their mouths, even holding their breath.
Su Feng's show of strength had not been long ago. Even someone as ruthless as Ikkaku Madarame had to yield, much less a group of ordinary division members like them.
Ikkaku Madarame only saw a blur before a figure blocked the light.
"I have a pretty good idea about your punishment."
Under the light, Su Feng's lips curved up slightly, his expression exceptionally gentle...
