He fixed him with a look, both disdainful and exasperated.
He didn't need to remind him that he had managed to obliterate machinery invented to assess the power levels of Arrancar higher up the roster than Szayel and that he, Even, was hardly the most powerful of them. Not even close.
"Besides, bragging to an unknown quantity, both in terms of scientific expertise and ability, makes you look a fool and it's considered stupid to make enemies when you're going to somewhere remote with people who wouldn't think twice about killing you at the best of times."
He thought of Lumi. Szayel was aggravating beyond reason sometimes and he figured that, in a worst case scenario, he could probably see his way to killing him. It isn't as if anybody would argue with him.
