The chips in front of Zach were once again stacked up. Just when Ozkozier was impatiently preparing to leave the poker table, Zach threw a stack of chips over.
"Want to escape? Haha, no." Killing the mind-reader is naturally the most strategic action on this poker table, but there are some things that are more worthy of Zach's attention than simply winning the money from the Sabbat." Tell me where Zagar is, otherwise, you will keep playing with me~"
"I still have business to do..."
"Don't be ridiculous." Zach tilted his head, "There will be no business at Cozier's store today. Unless you want to go down and face those reporters."
This is a very helpless fact. Reporters who want to get some inside information about the List case have been gathering around Kozier since yesterday. There is a notice in today's newspaper that the protagonist of today's trial is Yuri, who has just returned to Barton, and will provide evidence of Liszt's private transactions with the Republic.
What's puzzling is that I don't know what Yuri is thinking, but a piece of news 'accidentally' leaked out, saying that they returned to Barton because Kozier List was Yuri's 'friend' in Barton. , but since Yuri's building materials company was acquired by Smith under the watchful eyes of these 'friends', all ties with Barton were severed and 'kicked out' of Barton.
Yuri said that it was because of the trade with the Republic that he came into contact with some Western figures who had always been open to trade with the Republic. The trade terms of the Republic were implemented by the West. Don’t forget this. So Yuri returned to Barton, but the person he wanted to cooperate with most was not Barton's 'former friends', but Cozier.
So, well, among the social reporters who originally came to inquire about the Liszt case, there are now a bunch of economic reporters coming to inquire about future business cooperation.
A little thing that probably doesn't matter. In addition to society and the economy, there are also a few gossip reporters sandwiched between them. The reason is, this weekend. Bishop's wedding will be held, and they want to know if Bishop's new wife's wedding dress will be a wedding dress. Don't forget, Amelia is still a wedding dress. Where are the models who have been on the platform for a few days~
The corners of Oz's eyes twitched twice, and he reluctantly accepted the chips thrown by Zach and continued to sit in his seat.
The slightly cooled leather cushions were about to warm up when the phone rang.
The vampires on the card table looked at each other. Naturally, no one would run to answer the phone while the master was still there.
Zach was very considerate and pressed the shuffled card, "I'll wait for you~"
Oz stood up again and walked towards the phone.
In such a short time, Zach did not forget to prepare for the next card game. His eyes casually fell on a Revero. Oh, by the way, all three Reveros were back. It was Novel who had completely given up on tracking Barton.
Zach looked at Revro, who was obviously nervous, "You look familiar, do we know each other?"
"No, we don't know each other, Toledo. I'm only a few decades younger than the Federation."
Zack shrugs, so that's the guy who became a vampire after the Colonial War. It's good. When life begins to have memories, no subversive changes have happened. To him, in the history of vampires, he doesn't even need to pay attention to the concept of thirteen clans. It's just the Sabbat. Born in the Sabbat, dies in the Sabbat. ...At least it's still the Sabbat now, "Haha." Zach smiled, "So, am I the same as you imagined?"
The other party was desperately asking for help from his companions, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him, "Uh... I don't have much imagination about you and Toledo. Well, I don't have any imagination."
Zach seemed a little disappointed, raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and smiled, "Oh~ I'm sorry, I forgot, you don't talk about the 'original sin' of division, Toledo~ The only Toledo you will talk about is Ileto Rui Duo~"
Nenad Cappadocia responded, "In fact we don't talk about Eli Toredo either, he has nothing worth talking about."
Zach smiled and pushed another stack of chips to Nenad. This was something Zach was happy to hear.
Hamilton looked at Nenad with a gloomy expression as he took over the chips. This is the second time that this kind of giving and receiving behavior has occurred between Zach and Nenad. Do you need to care about it? Do you need to care about it
Zach's eyes fell on Hamilton's face helplessly, "I guess for young Sabbat vampires, no matter which clan they are, they probably don't understand how your father (Lesenbra) treats me and Tori. More, um, 'enthusiastic'." This kind of words was enough to affect the emotions of everyone at the card table. Zach tilted his head, "How old are you? I feel, um, you are the same as the Federation. age?"
The influence caused by Zach must be eliminated first. Hamilton glanced at his four subordinates, "Our Lesembra's er, hum, passion for Toledo has nothing to do with Lesembra's personal grudges with Toledo! It's just that Proud of the bloodline of the thirteen clans!" He glanced at Zach gloomily, "So Toledo is also included!" He twitched his lips irritably, "So this has nothing to do with being young! It has nothing to do with the clan! "
Zach gave a "I completely agree with everything you say~" smile. Anyway, the goal has been achieved. After Oz returns, Hamilton will be the most vulnerable link in the six-on-one situation on the card table. Zach is already calculating how many chips he can take from Hamilton in the next hand.
"And you're right!" Hamilton looked like he didn't want to admit it, "I am indeed the same age as the Federation!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, "You are a former colonial soldier!" The exclamation on his face was that Zach was happy. The reason why he was happy was, "This is awesome. We may have fought together~ We were once side by side..."
The words were not finished.
"Hmph, I'm sorry, I haven't fought side by side with you." Zach's smile met a cold face, "I fought with my current Lesembula brothers, and I fought with Zmich , I even fought with Nophele and Gangro, but you, Toledo, didn’t.”
There is nothing wrong with these words, and you can give Zach some cold water. After all, Toledo's mediocre combat ability is a fact, and it's okay to be ridiculed. But Zach had to ask the following question, "Ah~ That's it, so you didn't join the Secret Alliance, but joined the Sabbat..." Nophele, ugly, born ugly, defective kind; Gangro, Gangro ...Forget it, let's not talk about it, everyone knows, "Then why is it Lesembula and not Zmich?" Zach is still adding this question, "You are a soldier, a warrior." Ke smiled and shook his head, "I can understand that as a colonist who has won the human battlefield, you are unwilling to join Bruch, who advocates peace and a secret alliance. What about Zmich? You are obviously more suitable to be Zmich, who is also a fighting clan."
This may be the most annoying thing about Zach. He raised his hand and gave me a gentle smile.
Regardless of whether Zimich is present or not, as long as he can downgrade the authority of the leader of the Sabbat vampire team and split, haha, any relationship that can be split, Zach will speak out without any scruples. What is Zach's goal? To be a qualified dragon that is worshiped by Ye Gong. It is best to scare 'Ye Gong' to death.
Hamilton's eyes turned red for a moment, but he immediately forced them back and remained gloomy for a long time, "You said it as if this is a choice for me!"
In the eyes of those of us who are already familiar with the ethics of vampire inheritance, vampires are a race that is different from us humans, able to choose its own descendants, and has clear descendant standards: such as gender, IQ, appearance, character, world view... things that our human parents cannot decide. The helpless fact is the same. Parents have the ability to choose their descendants, but they still don't have descendants. Do you want to agree with Hamilton's answer? don't worry
Zach expressed regret and agreement with his face, and his tone became gentler, "This is a fact, especially during that period, including me, there were several descendants of soldiers. Their only choice was to either be bad in that era Die in the medical level, or reach out to the nearest companion in the card (Mokavi’s Thirteen Clan Poker) and grab eternal life.”
Zach didn’t mean to recall the past, he just wanted to disturb the other person’s emotions. Toledo is very, very good at something, gentleness and persistence. “But choosing immortality, especially after the war is over and the Federation is established, there are two situations. , the Thirteen Clans suffered heavy losses. The slightly cruel reality is that we need to add that instead of exploring the Indian race, it is better to choose descendants among the people we are already familiar with. So, which kind are you? Even if the new country is established, there are still As someone who has any hope of true victory? Or as a dying warrior who has won but lost the meaning of victory.”
This might be a good question, the three Revroganaards all looked at Hamilton. This question can be simplified, by removing the layer of empathy that is deliberately packaged with "I am also from that era, and I understand", and it becomes like this. Is it a mutual choice between the Sabbat and you? Or were you just limited to the medical level of the era after the war, and could only choose between death and immortality? You stretched out your hand and only caught the Sabbat's Lesembra
Do you understand these two options? The former were human battlefield soldiers who won the colonial war, but did not get the glory of victory. They watched aggrievedly as a new country, the Federation, was established. This is not the ideal outcome for any soldier who has sworn to fight for his motherland. What a magical fact that soldiers across the ocean abandoned their motherland and established a new country.
The latter, haha, Zach has laid out enough before, hasn't he? Hamilton has a chance to capture other vampire clans. Even if the soldier's little self-esteem does not allow him to reach out to the Secret Alliance, then, Zimixi also It should be the most likely one. Whether it was on his face or in his mouth, "I totally agree with you," Zach was farting. He would not let go until he pushed Hamilton into a corner.
Zach also looked at the first level of blood here, but Nenad, who was the only one who could match Zach's age, got an "I don't know" expression and joined the search for answers.
Red began to accumulate on his pale face, and Hamilton was already in a blind spot. This is a simple question. Is the immortality he now has as Lesembra due to the opposite of death, or the belief of the former soldier. A sophisticated human heart still has beautiful ideals. Neither answer is wrong.
But it seems that I just can’t answer, no, not as if, I absolutely can’t answer! In front of this damn Toledo!
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point at a steady speed.
Hamilton, saved by Oz, "Your father is looking for you."
Hamilton stood up directly and went to answer the phone.
When Oz sat down, his eyes swept over everyone's faces. Did the mind-reader already know what was going on? He pursed his lips, thought for a while, and looked at Zach. He didn't want Zach to start a new round of poker, but Yes, "He's not happy. He just called Grande. His original words were 'disillusioned. The Toledo clan in my memory is completely disillusioned. If this is the Toledo clan he will bring to the Sabbat." , I might as well have chosen Eli Toledo'."
"He is..." Zach trailed off, knowingly waiting for an answer.
"Lesembra." Oz answered, having to cooperate with Zach.
"Huh." Zach raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "The Toledo clan? Did he talk to Louise?" This is of course Zach's most direct speculation.
An accident came, "More than that." Oz stopped looking at Zach and began to steal chips from Hamilton. He was not around, and the stealing was blatant, "He called Louise first, and didn't even finish a complete sentence. Louise hung up. Then she called your 'general'..."
Zach raised his eyebrows at this time, 'General', when did the Sabbat get the 'General's' contact information. Well, forget it, it's very easy anyway, there's nothing to worry about.
Oz continued, "To make matters worse, 'The General' picked up and said he was not interested in meeting other vampires and hung up. So, yes, his exact words were 'disillusioned' with the 'Toledo Clan'."
It feels a bit like the person who ran to the Republic's 'Ye Gong' was not the Republic dragon that Ye Gong admired, but the federal lizard. Kind of funny.
But the only one who could laugh was Zach, "Ha! This is really embarrassing. I hope I didn't scare Lesembula~" He said in a wicked way, "But since he cares so much about the Toledo clan, contact me personally. Descendants." There was no trace of hidden sarcasm, "Then, I strongly advise him not to miss the one beside Papa Midnight, Ian~"
After almost stealing half of Hamilton's chips, Oz stopped and glanced at Zach with twitching eyes, "Don't blur the point! You heard my quote, it's a sentence of 'if... it's not as good as...'!" Mind readers have the ability to see through Zach's intentions.
Yes, no matter how Zach uses his ability to disturb people's hearts and directs the topic to Papa Midnight, who will be speechless as long as he is a vampire, the key point is still the sentence structure of "if...". The Sabbat has made a choice, and the chosen one is Zachary Toledo.
Zach smiled and tilted his head, "Of course I heard it. Don't worry, I will naturally ask you about how to deal with Eli Toredo. Haha, even better, I may also make countless comments Opinion, you can start preparing now~" You all know how to make people uncomfortable. People with an aura of hatred, why bother to go against their most proud attribute, "Remind you, everyone should be very clear, I Has the habit of interfering in any interesting things about Barton~" The limit of bad taste, "Please let me interject~"
There was no end, "But, before that, let's talk about something more realistic~my status in the Sabbat~" Zach glanced at Nenad and skipped it, "The little chat before, let me Knowing that Cappadocia's status is not that good, my requirements are definitely higher than his." On purpose? certainly! It fell to Revro, "Zimich is not here, let me ask you. What is your status with Zmich? Should I be above you? Haha, of course, I know that as long as I don't ask for more than Lesembula is fine~ But, as for you... Haha, it probably doesn't matter, do you have any suggestions?"
Are there really such shameless people who ask others in front of others whether their status is higher than others...
As expected of our Zach, after forcing the individual, Hamilton, into a blind corner, he didn't rest for a moment and began to force the clan, Lesembra. (..)
