4-8...

Welcome back, Grimmjow.

Why so quiet? Don't you have something to say to Lord Aizen, Grimmjow?

Not really.

What impudence.

It's alright, Kaname.

The truth of the matter is, I'm not really that upset.

But Lord Aizen, he-

I believe Grimmjow's actions were an intent to please me, but then he got carried away. That's how I view this incident.

Am I right, Grimmjow?

Yes, my Lord.

Lord Aizen, please! Give me permission to execute this traitor!

Nice try, Tosen. You've always hated me. That's what this fuss is about, isn't it?

Is this any way for a director general to act, Tosen?

I simply believe that anyone who disrupts the peace should have to pay for it. It's not personal.

You would kill me for insubordination?

Yes, for the honor of Lord Aizen.

Hah! Why am I not surprised? All you ever think about is the cause.

Of course. It guides my actions. Something of which you have no knowledge.

With no moral foundation behind it, killing is nothing more than murder.

But on the other hand, killing with purpose...

...is justice.

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!

Damn! Damn! Damn! Dammit!

I'll kill you!!!

Stop, Grimmjow.

Take a moment to think about your actions before you continue. I warn you. I'll be forced to reprimand you if you attack.

Kh!

That was cruel. Playing your men against each other like that.

Were you spying, Gin? As usual.

You knew Kaname would react like that. He's such a boy scout. Wouldn't you agree? I suspect you encourage that side of him.

Perhaps.

We lost five Arrancar in that operation.

It doesn't matter. The ones that were destroyed were among the lowest of the Gillians. My plans haven't been the least bit affected.

Once we have gathered the Vasto Lordes to complete the Espada...

no one will be able to stand in our way.
