Zach really thought this would be a troublesome thing, but it turned out that it was not troublesome at all. Every door was open to Zach, waiting for him to move forward step by step -
"Who are you looking for?" This is what Sheila asked when she impatiently turned over Zach's guest list for Yuri's party that day.
"Nate." Zach took the time to answer while asking the Siren (male) who was picking supplies at Sheila's side, "How is Riley these days?"
"When I was in the manor, I was relaxed and happy. I was discussing with the evil spirit Sher about the distribution of assets after taking control of the Bishop Group in the future." The Siren, who was sorting out his belongings, replied, "When I left the manor, I was sad and aggrieved. I used a pair of mascara stained by poor quality. Her watery eyes look at everyone. It would be a waste if she didn’t become an actress... "
Zach curled his lips and smiled, and when he was about to continue asking Riley and the evil spirits how they were doing, Sheila caught him in front of him. Yes, she used that black gold cane to catch Zach like a chicken. Phew~ she pulled Zach in front of her, " Nate? That friend of Yuri’s?”
Zach rubbed his sore waist and took away the heavy cane, "Yes, you know him?"
"He is in Yuri Manor now. He is hiding in the pool house in the back yard." Sheila irritably stuffed the rummaged documents back into the drawer, "Now! You can go! Everyone get out! I don't want to see you again. !!”
"Okay." The ending voice was rising, Zach blinked inexplicably, and really left.
This is the first door, easy.
With vampire speed, Zach quickly stood at the door of Yuri Manor.
The main entrance, which seemed to have unusually adequate security measures, was tightly closed, but Zach looked at the security guards standing guard wearing Sadier security uniforms, "I thought you had lost all the security business of the West End Manor."
Everyone thinks that the security guards at work will not pay attention to this guy who comes to someone else's door to ask questions. Everyone is wrong.
"We did lose all of our security operations at West End Manor. The Yuri family just got back and they don't know everything about Barton yet. It's only a matter of time before we get replaced. So, Mr. Grande, don't make our job any worse." Difficult to do.”
"Sorry, but I'm just working." Zach waved his hand, "Can you inform me of my visit."
The security guard with the radio tilted his head and pressed the earplugs in his ears as if he had received some order. He curled his lips and said, "Tsk, what the hell." He opened the door for Zach.
The second door passed easily, and Zach walked towards the oncoming butler-like figure with raised eyebrows.
"Mr. and Madam Yuri do not want to have contact with you." The butler made it difficult to distinguish between good and evil as soon as he spoke, "Please go this way, Mr. Maitreya is waiting for you in the atrium."
"Mr. Maitreya?" Zach raised his eyebrows, "But I'm not here because of this 'Mr. Maitreya'."
"Aren't you?" The butler looked confused, "Uh...it doesn't matter. Please go this way, Mr. Maitreya is waiting for you."
"Okay." What could Zach say. I'm finally going to meet this 'strange republican' guy in Barton with the alien markings on his hair. I'm not excited, just curious.
I saw Maitreya admiring a butterfly fluttering in the atrium, yes, a butterfly in this season. Regardless of this thing, Zach was a little surprised that the housekeeper was still following him, "Are you the person sent by Mr. and Mrs. Yuri to monitor our meeting?" Zach asked very reasonably.
"No, I am your translator." The butler replied calmly, "Unless you can speak Republican."
"I won't." Zach tilted his head, really thoughtful.
Zach raised his hand, summoning the butterflies to land on his fingertips, "Eve, why are you here?"
Butterfly answered, "I'm curious about Mr. Republic's 'transcendence' of souls. After the contact caused by O'Neal and Raging Waves last night..." Didn't O'Neal say this to Zach? He was intercepted by Maitreya when he floated to the West District. , Eve saved him, "I want to come and exchange views on the soul with him." After all, butterflies are lower life forms and do not have human expression systems, but 'Eve' still uses straight and swaying tentacles to complete the task. "But his answer to every question I asked was 'You are beautiful'. It was okay at first, but now, it makes me speechless." He rolled his eyes, "I think he will only say this." talk."
Zach glanced at the butler.
The butler had a bright idea, "Mr. and Madam know that this butterfly came from Smith. If Smith refuses even our formal social invitation (Smith didn't come to Saturday's party, didn't he), we are not prepared to respond." This kind of private visit." The butler pursed his lips, "There is no translation, no communication, 'You are beautiful' is the only response you can get, let's continue."
Reasons that are irrefutable.
The 'Eve' on Zach's fingertips flapped its wings, and the tentacles swung in different directions, "Then there's no need for me to waste energy here." As the phosphorescence began to dissipate, "Charlotte was already doubting My mind wanders frequently..."
Zach put down his free finger and looked at himself as Maitreya kept a smile that seemed to be 'surprised'. Zach also smiled at Maitreya, "First meeting, Maitreya. I am Zachary Grande."
"I know who you are, Toledo." What is instant flip? This is instant flip.
Zach looked at the butler with slight surprise, who spoke only half a second after Miroku. This was good, he could completely ignore this butler.
"Torito." Zach looked in the direction of the back yard and motioned to move, "Do you know that I am Torito?"
"Van Zhuo once ordered people to draw your portraits repeatedly, and then tore them into pieces himself, over and over again, so I am very familiar with your appearance, and every time I painted, Van Zhuo would angrily chatter about your story. The last request was made by Van Zhuo. Redo.”
The topic suddenly became really surprising.
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Do you even know Van Zhuo?"
"Van Zhuo was the first Federation alien race I met after coming to the Federation, and then he invited me to join the Secret Alliance. When Fan Zhuo's ancestors themselves admitted that the Secret Alliance was about to perish under his leadership, I repaid them. My two years of care showed them the way to the Republic.”
Surprised, almost terrifying. Who else did this guy trick into going to the Republic...
Zach squinted his eyes, but still maintained a rare smile at the corner of his mouth, "Are you telling me that you are the reason why the Secret Alliance disappeared from the Federation and went to the Republic to survive?"
"Yes, if you want to know, I can tell you more."
"Haha, no, thank you." Zach had long since abandoned his last concern for the Secret Alliance and looked at the butler, "What's behind this."
Unlike the open courtyard in the atrium, the three of them were in front of the porch leading to the back courtyard, and Zach didn't ask questions knowingly.
"It's the back yard. There is only an outdoor swimming pool and a spare wooden house that are useless this season. We don't need to go there. If Mr. Grande doesn't want to be outdoors, we can go to the reception room, as long as we don't disturb Mr. and Mrs...."
"Open the door." Zach gave the order directly, "I said from the beginning that I am not here to see Maitreya. Or do you need to ask for permission?"
"Uh..." The housekeeper looked a little confused for a moment, but he still did as he was told and opened the door.
After walking through another door easily, Zach glanced at the swimming pool full of debris and fallen leaves, ignored it, and walked along the corridor to the wooden house at the back.
"I think my opening was a bit inappropriate and may have given you the wrong impression." Maitreya's words continued to be translated in seconds, "I want you to know that I have no ill intentions towards you or the Barton aliens." Then please Matching Maitreya's somewhat embarrassed smile to the butler's straightforward translation, "Although I seem to have made Silla unhappy, it was purely unintentional. I didn't know she would react like that. Then I was looking forward to your arrival. I think if anyone can help me get Sheila to forgive me, it would be you."
Zach glanced at Maitreya, who seemed to be very sincere, but to be honest, he had no idea what he was talking about, and waved his hand, "You think highly of me."
"No." Peeling away Maitreya's unexplained pronunciation, he kept the smile on his face and added the butler's translation with a delay of only half a second. "When I visited Barton, I saw all kinds of people living their lives. The living Barton alien race. A clear consciousness is becoming clearer and clearer in my heart. It is because of you that those alien races can live so peacefully, haha, harmoniously among humans. The ghouls who help the wanderers, the mermaids who are lifeguards, and the undertakers The wingman of the party…”
This series will probably be endless, but fortunately, there is a twist, "I guess my only dissatisfaction is with the bewitching monsters and evil spirits that are entangled in Bishop's life and make that poor man's life even more miserable. But, in my case After the impulsive behavior at the Saturday party, Mr. Porky Quinn had explained to Mr. Urie and me the current situation with Bishop. I have realized my mistake. You are just maintaining the social structure of Barton and letting Bishop. Keep…”
Zach had to interrupt, "Although it seems that you are putting the credit for the harmonious coexistence of Barton's aliens and humans on me, I'm sorry, those are just simple interest agreements." This is the truth, and it should be said like this - Anthony once relied on With the rise of police detectives, the agreement between Zach and Barton's alien race naturally deviates in the direction of harmony in human society. But Zach doesn't require all aliens to be legal citizens, right? Look at Tam's 'legend' and Walter's record of cheating.
Miroku was just lucky and met them when Tam was just an idle bartender at the 'General' and Walter was just a delivery boy, "And even if I was willing to accept your praise, I don't want to."
Zach took a serious look at Maitreya, who was still smiling. "I find it hard to believe every word you say. You seem to have been in the Federation for a long time. Is it true that you only know the Federation language well?" Isn't it beautiful?" Zach shook his head and continued to walk to the cabin ahead. As a casual reminder, the curtains were shaking, and someone in the "no one" wooden house had noticed Zach's arrival.
"This is Van Zhuo's control over me. The Hidden Alliance restricted my freedom. I'm not complaining. They treated me well, but they didn't allow me to contact the outside world. I never had the opportunity to learn the language of the Federation, and then the Hidden Alliance left. , I started to really walk around the Federation. Haha, it was also at that moment that I discovered that all the foreign races in the central part of the country seemed to hate the Secret Alliance. Restoring freedom is not beautiful. Keeping yourself alive is already very difficult, so don’t Talk about learning a complex language.”
Maitreya patted the butler who was talking for a second, "When I really got the chance, I met the Yuri family who was preparing to leave the Federation."
Maitreya had stopped talking for two seconds, but the butler continued, "When our Yuri's industry was acquired by Smith, Smith did not leave us any way out. Mr. and Mrs. got the Federation and the Republic trade agreement is about to be concluded. news, and discovered that the west intends to turn Barton in the east into a trade hub, so we are ready to immigrate to the Republic and start over. One day, with the help of trade channels, we can return to the Federation and return to Barton."
When lamenting the way these people think, you can also recall the time when Yuri was kicked out of Barton. Oh, the timing is really right.
Zach didn't ask any more questions and already stood at the door of the cabin, "Open the door."
"This place has not been cleaned up for more than half a year..." the butler said with a frown, "Well, Mr. Grande, maybe you should tell me the reason why you are here, and I should inform Mr. Grande..."
When the butler automatically shut up, Zach also pointed to the side of the wooden house, "That's why I came."
A bulky figure fell from the roof into the wildly spreading bushes on the side of the house. After a chaotic noise, the guy popped his head up. After seeing that he was being watched by three people at the same time, he retreated in a panic, and there was another chaotic noise. The sound was accompanied by a hard 'Humph! 'This guy got on the wall and climbed up unexpectedly and nimbly in the small but regular cracks in the brick wall.
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Butler, did you know that such a person is hiding here?"
"I don't know..." The butler looked confused, and then Maitreya opened his mouth as if by instinct, "I know, the person who came this morning was Jimmy's friend. He said he had caused some trouble and wanted to hide here."
The housekeeper reacted at this time and looked at Maitreya with a frown, "And you didn't inform Mr. and Madam?"
"*&%... &" Because the butler didn't translate, Zach didn't know what Maitreya said.
But the butler frowned for a while, and estimated that it would be a while before the guy who was still climbing on the wall could climb out, and looked at Zach, "What will Mr. Grand do to Mr. Nate? You?" Master Li didn't handle his interpersonal relationships very well when he left Barton. He didn't have many friends in Barton anymore, and the Saturday party, uh, 'disaster' probably didn't save him much. This Mr. Nate He is a friend of the young master. I hope Mr. Grande..."
He is really a good housekeeper, but Zach is very direct, "This is your master's friend, Mr. Nate, who stole Smith's things from the shelter that worked with Quinn. I think you Yuri have already understood what happened in Barton." I've made some progress, so." Zach felt there was no need to finish.
"Okay, okay..." the housekeeper frowned, "Sir, please do as you please. I need to report." He turned around and left.
Zach glanced at Miroku and was about to say something, but immediately shut up. Zach doesn't need this guy telling himself 'you're beautiful'…
Zach raised his hand and pushed aside the bushes blocking his way.
"He saw it, Sheila." The pronunciation was awkward.
Zach looked back at Maitreya and smiled, "Isn't that what he said?" Zach stopped letting the bush ruin his clothes, and jumped up and grabbed Nate's ankle, bouncing heavily. When he returned to Miroku, he had already carried the fainted Nate on his shoulders.
"Would you let him die?"
Slightly strange semantics, but fortunately the meaning is understandable.
"Probably not, you know what Toledo is good at, don't you? Van Zhuo should have said it a lot." Looking at Maitreya's confused face, Zach smiled, "Let's talk if we have a chance. Welcome to Gran De, Grande brought his own translator." He carried Nate and left. The butler said it was up to him.
Very freely, Zach carried Nate out of Yuri Manor. Before the security guards at the main entrance, whose eyes twitched and were about to question, said, "Sorry, you may have to be replaced soon, but don't blame me..." (.)
