Stopping his questioning, Sirzechs suppressed his emotions, adjusted his mindset, and spoke about the main topic, "Tatsuma, you won this battle. According to the agreent, I will cooperate with your plan to occupy Soul Society and provide full-scale assistance."
Tatsuma asked, "Really?"
Sirzechs nodded. "Of course it's true, I wouldn't lie about such an important matter."
Tatsuma pointed to a place not far away. "Then give Grayfia to ."
Sirzechs: "?"
"Grayfia?"
Sirzechs suspected he had misheard.
Tatsuma did not hesitate and repeated his request, "That's right, Grayfia. I want to exchange Evil Pieces with you and have Grayfia beco my subordinate to manage Soul Society for ."
"..."
Sirzechs fell silent.
He liked Grayfia, so naturally, he didn't want to give her to Tatsuma. However, Tatsuma specifically asked for Grayfia for the reason of managing Soul Society.
He had just promised to provide assistance to Tatsuma. If he imdiately refused his request, it would be sowhat inappropriate.
Organizing the words in his mind, Sirzechs quickly ca up with a solution.
"Tatsuma, Grayfia is not an object. I cannot make this decision for her. If you want Grayfia to be your subordinate, you need to ask for her opinion."
Tatsuma asked, "You an, as long as Grayfia agrees, you are willing to give her to as a subordinate?"
Sirzechs repeated, seizing this condition, "That's right, as long as Grayfia agrees."
No matter what, he and Grayfia had a friendship of hundreds of years. No matter how heartless Grayfia was, she wouldn't just run off with a man she had only known for a few days.
Sirzechs looked towards Grayfia and asked, "Grayfia, what do you think?"
Unexpectedly, Grayfia, in whom he placed great hope, did not reply imdiately, but instead fell into contemplation.
A few seconds later, Grayfia finished thinking and looked at Tatsuma, who was standing casually with one hand in his pocket. "Tatsuma, I rember you discussed the personnel for managing Soul Society with Yoruichi before. Why do you still need my help?"
Tatsuma gave the reply as a matter of course. "Of course, it's because you are strong enough and trustworthy."
"Besides a public manager, I will also place an additional supervisor in the forces under my command."
"The manager of Akatsuki is Sho, and the person supervising his work is redith."
"The MAR manager is Ladli, and the person supervising her work is Ravel."
"On the Soul Society side, I haven't decided on the manager yet, but I think you would be more reliable as a supervisor."
"I understand."
Grayfia nodded and looked at Sirzechs.
"Since Tatsuma is short on personnel, I'll go to Soul Society to help. This way, I can stay away from the Devil higher-ups to avoid disputes, and at the sa ti, I can contribute to the Devils."
What about ?
Sirzechs opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing, but stopped. In the end, he swallowed the words back and forced a smile.
"Since you have no objections, go to Soul Society and help Tatsuma."
"As for the Devil higher-ups..."
"Once Rizevim is dealt with, you can return to the Underworld anyti."
"We'll see."
Grayfia didn't care much about this. She was fed up with those old fogeys among the Devil higher-ups. They would constantly cause her trouble, and it was difficult to deal with them. Perhaps using this opportunity to stay away from the Underworld was a good choice.
"Let's exchange the Evil Pieces."
Tatsuma ca in front of Grayfia, took out the Queen piece from her body, and inserted his own Rook piece.
After that, Tatsuma handed the Evil piece he had taken out to Sirzechs, waved his hand, and said goodbye.
"I still have things to do later, I'll be leaving now."
"Regarding the actions in Soul Society, we can discuss it when Rias and I return to the Underworld in a few days."
Sirzechs nodded in reply. "Okay, keep in touch anyti."
Watching Tatsuma and Grayfia leave, the smile on his face instantly vanished.
Looking down at the Queen piece in his hand, Sirzechs let out a sigh. "Ajuka, did I do sothing wrong?"
Ajuka shrugged, "Don't overthink it, it just wasn't a good fit. Anyway, with your status, you're not short of won. Do you need to introduce you to a girl?"
Sirzechs shook his head. "Maybe later."
He was not in the mood to talk about relationships right now.
Putting the Queen piece away, Sirzechs's expression returned to calmness.
At least one of love or career should be successful. Since the forr had failed, he would now focus his attention on the latter.
"Ajuka, what do you think about the matter in Soul Society?"
Ajuka had already heard about the situation in Soul Society. After thinking for a mont, he replied, "If everything Tatsuma said is true, you can give Shunsui a heads-up and let them try it themselves first."
The Gotei 13 has a very deep foundation. If it's just Aizen, they still have a chance to resolve it. But Yhwach, who has accumulated a thousand years of power and returned, is not soone the Gotei 13 can provoke.
"You don't need to reveal Tatsuma's plan, just tell them about Yhwach to give them a heads-up."
"It's not too late for Tatsuma to make a move after the Gotei 13's action fails."
Human World, Akatsuki Headquarters.
"Congratulations, you are free now."
Tatsuma sat leisurely in a chair, looking at the attendant standing not far away.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
Grayfia's expression was calm, without much emotional fluctuation about this. "Nothing, for , it's just a change to a quieter work environnt."
"This reaction isn't very good."
Tatsuma rubbed his chin thoughtfully, activating the power of Satan Bloodline.
"Co here and give a shoulder rub."
The bloodline suppression took effect, and Grayfia subconsciously agreed, walking behind Tatsuma and extending her hand. However, after massaging his shoulders a couple of tis, Grayfia suddenly jolted, realizing sothing was wrong.
"What did you do to ?"
"Nothing, just exercising the master's rights."
Tatsuma enjoyed the massage while picking up a grape from the table and popping it into his mouth.
"Grayfia, I am different from Sirzechs. Since you chose , you must be prepared to offer everything."
"Don't ss around."
Grayfia suddenly felt a little flustered, this was not quite what she had imagined.
"How can you say I'm ssing around? I'm just reminding you of your own responsibilities." Tatsuma chuckled, not caring about Grayfia's panic.
New attendants like her would more or less have an adjustnt period. At this ti, guiding the other party with the correct thod was what he needed to do.
After enjoying Grayfia's massage, Tatsuma, showing the thoughtfulness of a master, also helped her relax her body.
He repeatedly pressed with different force on different points of her body.
Grayfia quickly let out a comfortable hum. Her mind was blank, as if she was soaking in a hot spring, her whole body flushed red, and sweat poured out.
"How do you feel?" Tatsuma stopped the massage and asked about her feelings.
Hearing his voice, Grayfia's paused brain finally resud operation, and a blush appeared on her face.
Tatsuma asked, "Why aren't you talking? Could it be that you are not satisfied with my massage? It seems I can only show you my trump card."
"Wait... wait a minute!"
Seeing that Tatsuma was about to continue massaging her, Grayfia quickly grabbed his wrist.
"Don't continue. Let's stop here for today."
"Alright, then we'll continue tonight." Tatsuma chuckled, not continuing to tease her.
Leaving Grayfia in the room to change into new clothes, Tatsuma leisurely ca to the underground plaza.
Summoned by Tatsuma, a large number of Akatsuki mbers had already gathered here.
Kisuke and the others, who had been brought in to work in the morning, were standing in different queues and communicating.
"Hello, leader!"
A sharp-eyed mber saw Tatsuma and imdiately shouted at the top of his lungs.
The hall instantly fell silent, and everyone stopped communicating in unison, looking towards the entrance.
"Don't mind , I just ca to take a look."
After nodding slightly and greeting them, Tatsuma found Vali in the crowd.
"How is the progress in Death tropolis?"
"With the information you provided, we have already confird the coordinates of four Death tropolises." Vali handed over the organized information.
"Not bad, keep up the good work." Tatsuma took the information, scanned the contents, and was quite satisfied.
There were a total of seventeen Death tropolises established by Deva. Excluding the Death tropolis belonging to Shahryar, the remaining sixteen Death tropolises belonged to different Deva families.
Being able to find four Death tropolises in just over ten days, at this rate, they would be able to find all of them by next month.
