Chapter 632: Seduced in Just One Night, and Now She's Under Hera Bel's Control?
The very next day after Orihime was taken back to the Void Night Palace by Gin Ichimaru, Night City in the Soul Society received news of this incident.
Gin Ichimaru was still planning to use the Arrancar girl to seduce Night City, but he had no idea that she had already been charmed by someone else.
Shiwan Yin, Gin Ichimaru's trusted confidant, had access to many top-secret matters, but attempting to make any covert moves under Gin Ichimaru's watchful eye was not as easy as he had imagined.
As a fellow traitor to the Soul Society, Dong Xian Yao had always been suspicious of Shiwan Yin, hoping to oust him and take his place as the second-in-command, so that he could rise to the third position.
Shiwan Yin, living within the enemy's circle, had always been walking on thin ice, but no one could have predicted that his situation would suddenly change a few months ago.
Hera Bel, the third Espada, suddenly asked to meet him on the rooftop... or rather, at the top of the Sky Dome in the Void Night Palace.
It was common knowledge that informants always met on rooftops; this was a universal rule across all realms.
Shiwan Yin and Hera Bel didn't have much interaction, but despite this, he decided to meet with her, his mind filled with doubts.
When they met, Hera Bel, being straightforward, openly revealed the existence of Night City and informed Shiwan Yin that Night City had sent her to find him.
However, Shiwan Yin didn't immediately choose to believe Hera Bel's words.
After all, he was no newcomer; he had managed to stay hidden like a venomous snake by Gin Ichimaru's side for so long because of his intelligence and caution.
Hera Bel had only met Night City once in the Human World, and the Espada were fiercely loyal to Gin Ichimaru. Even Shiwan Yin himself wasn't confident in turning them, so how could Night City, who had only met her once, possibly achieve this?
Hera Bel's request to meet must have been a test from someone, right?
First, he could rule out Gin Ichimaru because Shiwan Yin knew him well, and the latter's dignity would never stoop to such a thing.
If Gin Ichimaru truly suspected him, he would likely choose to eliminate him directly, as everyone else was just a dispensable tool in Gin Ichimaru's eyes.
With Gin Ichimaru out of the picture, the only remaining suspect was that blind man.
"I really don't understand what you're saying, Hera Bel, but you should know that what you're saying now is tantamount to betrayal."
Despite Hera Bel's detailed explanation, even if she provided evidence, Shiwan Yin still narrowed his eyes, not believing a single word or punctuation mark she said.
It was clear that their first meeting ended on a sour note.
Back in her own palace, Hera Bel was in a foul mood, wondering if she had been played by some damn Shinigami!
She had mustered great determination to approach Shiwan Yin, and it was a decision she had made after much deliberation.
If Shiwan Yin were to report this to Gin Ichimaru now, wouldn't she and her three subordinate officers, the little sisters under her command, be left with no place to hide?
Thinking of this, Hera Bel immediately instructed her three subordinates to pack their things, preparing to flee the Void Night Palace that very night.
But what Hera Bel didn't expect was that just as she and her subordinates were about to make their escape, Shiwan Yin, who had previously treated her coldly, took the initiative to come to her and indicated that he wanted to talk to her privately.
Hera Bel did not refuse Shiwan Yin's request.
She was well aware that if Shiwan Yin wasn't "one of them," the one who had come now would either be Gin Ichimaru or another Espada.
It was clear that although he didn't know what had transpired, Shiwan Yin now seemed to believe what Hera Bel had told him earlier.
Indeed, after being summoned by Hera Bel, Shiwan Yin immediately contacted Yecheng upon returning.
And when he received Yecheng's personal confirmation, Shiwan Yin was stunned.
He truly hadn't expected that Yecheng had successfully turned one of the Espada, Hera Bel, in just one night.
Moreover, if it were any other Espada member, he might have understood, but in Shiwan Yin's perception, compared to the unmotivated No.1 Stark and the naturally rebellious No.2 Baigelgang, No.3 Hera Bel was fiercely loyal to Lord Aizen! After hearing Yecheng's own admission, Shiwan Yin no longer doubted Hera Bel.
Looking at the black-leather-clad beauty before him, Shiwan Yin couldn't help but acknowledge once again that Yecheng was indeed a master at dealing with women! In just one night, he had successfully won over No.3, and he hoped that Yecheng hadn't done anything inappropriate with Chaos Chrysanthemum! Shiwan Yin couldn't help but wonder if he had entrusted his childhood friend to the wrong person.
Of course, despite his inner resentment towards Yecheng, Shiwan Yin had to admit that Yecheng was a powerful ally.
Setting aside his personal strength and intelligence, in such a short time, even though they were in different places, Yecheng had managed to find him an ally.
As the Espada No.3, Hera Bel's position in Las Noches was second only to Stark and Lord Aizen, and she was indeed a significant help to him.
Usually, when he conveyed information, he did so with utmost caution, but with Hera Bel's assistance, his situation was no longer as passive.
This time, it was Hera Bel who informed Yecheng about Izumi Koushou's capture.
With the help of Kisuke Urahara, and through his own efforts, Yecheng had developed a device that could communicate across the barriers of Hueco Mundo and the Soulless World, and it even had video chat capabilities.
And at this moment, Hera Bel was using this device to contact Yecheng in the Soul Society.
"I was thinking of returning to the Human World in a few days, but I never expected Lord Aizen to make his move at this critical moment.
Regarding Izumi Koushou, I'd appreciate it if you could look after her. If there's any danger, contact me immediately, and we'll rush to Hueco Mundo at the first opportunity."
Hearing Yecheng's words, Hera Bel in the video feed was visibly taken aback.
Then, with a puzzled expression, she asked, "That human woman, isn't she just a tool to you?
Is it worth going to such lengths for her safety?"
In Hera Bel's eyes, after living with Yecheng for so long, even if Izumi Koushou had value, she should have been drained dry by now. She couldn't understand why Yecheng was willing to take risks for her.
"It's a simple matter, isn't it? Izumi Koushou is a friend and a sister to me, not just a tool as you say.
Even if her sacrifice holds value, I don't need such a sacrifice. For those who care about her, seeing her grow happily is the greatest value!"
"It's not just about Izumi Koushou, but you too, Hera Bel.
Lord Aizen sees you as a tool, but I don't. If you encounter danger, don't show off your strength, and don't even think about sacrificing yourself. Remember to contact me immediately, and I'll be there at the first opportunity!"
Hearing Yecheng's words, Hera Bel's reaction was visibly strong, and her body even trembled involuntarily.
