The Scapegoat

Everyone should always have a final escape route prepared, even if you never end up needing it, but you must be ready.

Valentino was the escape route Aizen had prepared.

From the moment Aizen chose to align himself with Valentino, he had already selected him as a backup plan in his conflict with Leo.

But Valentino wasn't a fool, and Aizen Certainly wasn't either, so the method of using this escape route required careful consideration.

Now, there were three corpses lying in Harmony Courtyard.

The bodies belonged to Guts, Jerry , and another trusted disciple who often conveyed messages for Valentino.

Beyond these three, there would be no more deaths. In fact, only these three people usually lingered in Harmony Courtyard.
