The Snake, Szayelaporro Granz

In response to the strong individual's question Gorr replies with his question pertaining the use of Hollow meatshields, "I want your soldiers."

Rubbing his temple, with sleepless red eyes, his irritation to the guests who he allowed entry, he felt a deep pang of regret.

With a sigh of dissatisfaction, the unknown Hollow takes out a button from his crimson stained lab coat, grasping it on his hands. He then presses one of the three buttons, the green button which signaled, ten willless Hollows to march towards him, standing by awaiting for further orders.

"You can have my ten cherished experiments." But abrutly, a shadow looms across his face, intensifying a deep and unsettling expression. He continues with impatience hinted at his voice, "You have to tell me where you got this bead from."

Darwin felt an emotion as unforgiving as steel coming from the unknown Hollow, knowing that it wouldn't be ideal to keep such things hidden, he told him in a poker face, "It's a bead I happened to chance upon in an Ancient Ruins, encased in a small wooden box."

Taking his words into consideration, the lab coated Hollow rummages through his notes of his past experiences.

Wait this Hollow isn't going to take my word for what it is? Darwin thought.

Just as he thought he may have been in the clear, the Hollow begins asking Darwin some questions.

"I've checked that same Ancient Ruins in Second Stratos awhile ago, found absolutely nothing besides the scriptures of incantations and historical events. You mean to tell me that I, a Vasto Lorde, Szayelaporo Granz didn't find the bead you just showed me?!" Szayelaporro's face reddens with bulging veins, his facial muscles tensing, and his eyes widening in disbelief.

With a cynical reevaluation of events, Granz felt his pride was directly attacked from the inadvertent disrespect coming from Darwin's words.

Being momentarily stunned, Darwin immediately responds, "I have eyes that can see things in which others cannot. You, Granz would understand what Hollow evolution can do, since you yourself seem to deeply immerse yourself in research."

Szayelaporro's expression shifts slightly, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "How gidigidi of you to say that, leaving a good impression on me or something?" His tone frolics with a hint of sarcasm, revealing his skepticism.

This guy is both crazy and insanely skeptical. The worst combination I've have yet to see in a Hollow until today. Darwin intrusively thought.

Gorr putting forth his right palm signalling Szayelaporro to hand over the Reishi Remote Control. "Now give us the control and we will leave immediately," Gorr suggested.

Fiddling with the remote, looking back up to Darwin and Gorr with an unamused face, Szayeleporro said menacingly, "You know I can kill you two right?"

Gripping on to his knuckles, Gorr looked straight at Szayelaporro in anger, "I dare you to say that one more time!" He continues, "I don't care if you are a Vasto Lorde or not, I will kill you." He adamantly proclaimed.

With confidence, Szayelaporro responds, "The condition of giving ten of my experiments is that you have to hand over the information about the bead, it's just that simple." Throwing the remote up and down as if he had the conversation in the palm of his hands, he couldn't help but make a twisted smile.

Gorr looking at Darwin, nudging him to say something about the bead, seeing he was as impatient as Szayelaporro.

Pushing Gorr's hand off his shoulder, he said, "I have the power to create small pills utilising Hollow corpses."

With a brightened and wide expression, Szayelaporro felt elated to hear something interesting and useful. However, his face turned abrupt, a cold and dark demeanour arises from the face of Szayelaporro, he said, "So you lied to me before."

Darwin responds swiftly, "I wouldn't have imagined you to be the intellectual one."

"How arrogant of you to think of me that way. So how will you compensate for the distress you have caused for me." Szayelaporro solemnly replied.

Out of nowhere, Gorr starts to giggle and roll around the floor, he teared, "Distress? Your such a snake."

"Tch," Szayelaporro sneers with furrowing brows. He continues, "A muscle head like you don't understand the joy of being able to think beyond the scope of us Hollows."

Walking closer to Darwin, Szayelaporro said, "I dream and aspire immortality, you are the key to this project. Imagine living forever!" Pointing at Darwin's Hollow hole, he continues with a question, "Will you join me in my endeavour of becoming an Immortal?"

Gorr grabbing onto Szayelaporro's hand and said, "Get away from my property, snake."

Shaking off his slightly tight grip, flicking his hand in disgust, Szayelaporro calmly replies with a subtle question, "How much is he worth?"

And Gorr replies, "A thousand soldiers."

Szayelaporro grabbing another remote control with an even more complex use of Reishi. Chucking it towards Gorr, he signals Darwin to come over to him.

Szayelaporro thought with a slight grin, What a blockhead, thanks for your slave dummy.

"Wait!" Gorr pulling Darwin away from Szayelaporro's grasp, he continues, "Ten thousand."

Irritated by the lack of business ethics, Szayelaporro said with distain, "You offered, I accepted. Now begone."

Darwin in the midst of this conversation, he sighed, Maybe I should just run. But, that may be the worst idea considering Gorr and Szayelaporro would capture me again on the premise that I was listed as a slave.

Gorr punches the ground on impulse, leaving a big crater below. With a tense expression, he said, "You disgusting snake!"

"I will let you off the hook just this once since I am in a good mood," Szayelaporro waves it off bidding him farewell. "And you," he continues, "What is your name?"

Darwin finally having a chance to take part in this conversation, he immediately expressed his discontent with Szayelaporro attitude and Gorr's impulsive actions without thinking too much on it.

First he said, "I was suppose to help Gorr to take over one of the Rey de le Montana to pay my debt." He continues, "How about I do that first before I assist you in your research." Before Szayelaporro made a disagreement, Darwin said, "Wouldn't it be in your best interest that I, Darwin, am in the mood or incline to help you?"
