Chapter 144: Entangled in Trivial Affairs

The Magus world is never a place for a lone wanderer.

Aizen never intended to traverse its treacherous waters alone. Though trustworthy people are rare, wielding some authority and enlisting others to work for him could significantly ease his burdens.

Christopher , for instance, showed promise. While Aizen had decided to take him under his wing, it was merely a preliminary judgment. A period of observation would still be necessary.

This was only the beginning. Aizen intended to recruit and cultivate more capable individuals.

Christopher's talent was decent at best. At over 30 years old, he had only reached the Refined Blood Stage, which was not considered exceptional. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up as a guard captain, overseeing just seven or eight men.
