There is a saying that is used to guide life. I can’t remember the original words. The general meaning is that if you have any troubles, confusions, or sadness, don’t worry, take a sleep, and everything will be fine after you see the sun the next day. stand up. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
This is probably true. It's probably not a big deal if it allows you to sleep for a while. It should be fine for dealing with trivial things.
However, for vampires, this method is useful even for trivial matters. The meaning of sleep to a vampire is only this period of time. I am too lazy to do anything. In my long life of immortality in this world, the lack of this little time has no impact on me.
Just like the ancestors of the thirteen clans. The outcome of the colonial war has been settled. Children, you can go play by yourself while we go to bed. If something big happens to the clan, please call us.
Even if you are so generous, you should be. If people want to live forever, do they still have to be cautious and live diligently day by day, year by year, century by century
But what I want to talk about now is not the ancestors of the thirteen clans in general, but Zach.
The vampire who was now standing in front of the Toledo ancestor, pretended to be the ancestor's heart, slept for a few hours, and then was woken up by Louise.
"Get up, a reporter is coming! They want to cover the first republican funeral."
"Uh..." I couldn't say he was angry, just stiff, "Why."
"I don't know. Anyway, it wasn't me who informed me, and it couldn't be Allen who informed me. Tsk. Relatives of the deceased?" Guessing this, Louise was already arranging her clothes, as if she was preparing to appear on camera.
"What are you going to do?"
Zach grabbed Louise.
"Someone has to go and receive those reporters." Louise rolled her eyes.
"Don't go, let Mo and Matthew go." Although Zach was stiff, his logic was very clear, "You don't want to leave your mark in the world."
Louise frowned, she must have had doubts, but fortunately she was obedient and nodded, "Matthew has asked for leave, and he will pray with his father on Sunday." She pulled Zach up, who was about to lie down again, and handed it to him. He bottled 'breakfast' and said, "You have to go to the staff to see Arthur. Benjamin called just now. Mokawi will be out today."
It was entirely because of the last sentence that Zach began to actively move his body to speed up the blood flow to the whole body, "Then let Sam take the lead." Fortunately, Grande now has no shortage of employees who can be called on at will.
Louise's last words before leaving the house were, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Fisher will attend the funeral." Remember this detail, this funeral is fully funded by Fisher. "He may talk to you about something during the trip. You want to meet him." What?"
This can only be said to be Louise's thoughtful thought. Instead of waiting for Fisher to ask if he wanted to tell Zach whether he wanted to meet, it would be better to confirm Zach's attitude now and reply directly when the time comes.
Without even thinking about it, Zach said, "Say I'm very busy and don't have time."
Louise nodded and went out.
Zach will indeed be very busy. Not to mention the things that were put on hold yesterday, Benjamin and Mokawi, this is something that Zach cannot miss.
The moment I walked out of the master bedroom after feeling a little better, the phone rang.
Zach wandered into the office and answered the phone. The other party didn't even wait for Zach to say the stylized self-introduction, "Will you be attending the funeral?" The direct question came from Darcy's voice.
"No." Zach answered simply.
"Yes." was the response, "Then I'll send James."
On his face that was just able to express emotions freely, Zach frowned, "James?"
"The victim has already been buried in the ground and we haven't solved the case yet. The police are always going to say something." I couldn't hear the tone of this statement.
Zach's face turned gloomy, "You informed the media, right?"
He was quiet for two seconds, and then admitted, "Yes, does it bother you?"
Zach curled his lips and shook his head in the air, "Not to me. You are causing trouble to Allen."
This has two meanings. One is that even if they are forced to appear on the scene, Grande's vampires are not terrible. Zach and Louise both have abilities given by saints, and other vampires do not. The other one is a little bit evil. Do you think Allen holds a funeral to get media attention? Of course he does! I don’t want to think about the reason why he came to Grande to point a gun at Zach in a hot head. Wasn’t a major factor in his emotions that Grande immediately grabbed the attention he deserved at Allen Funeral Home (Grande The halfway house project upstaged the cemetery-sharing contract between three funeral homes and was first reported in the newspapers). But can Allen be noticed? No. Allen himself can't, nor can the eight privileged employees that Allen spent a lot of money to recruit. The result of this is
When the media reports on Patton's first republican funeral, Grande will only benefit in the end.
Darcy clicked his tongue on the other side of the receiver, "I can't control that much anymore." He must have received both meanings, "I can't suppress the Republic case anymore. Instead of letting the media swarm to the police station to question me, what's the point? If there is no progress in the case, I might as well let someone take the blame at the funeral." He was not kind at all, "Anyway, in the atmosphere of the funeral, I understand that those reporters would not dare to ask any excessive questions."
Zach silently mourned James for half a second in his heart. Why? Did Mo mention the difference between a republican funeral? Zach really doubted that the atmosphere of a republican funeral could prevent reporters from asking any questions. But there was no need to remind Darcy. Darcy was unlikely to change his mind anyway, "Are you just here to inform that James will attend the funeral?"
"No." Simply, "You won't attend the funeral, so you should have time. I made an appointment with you last time, and called Linda..."
Before Darcy could finish, he was interrupted by Zach, "I'm not free."
"Tsk, if you're helping Weiss investigate the case, you can leave it alone..." What's interesting is that Darcy actually said 'helping Weiss'.
But his happy words worthy of Zach's bad taste were interrupted, "No, it's a private matter. Mokavi is discharged from the hospital."
There was silence on the other side of the receiver.
Zach was about to hang up the phone, "I'll see you soon."
"It doesn't matter. Do you want to go to a nursing home? I'll go find you."
Accidents are necessary, Zach raised his eyebrows, "Are you okay? Talk to Oz about Sabbat-related matters, not me."
After hesitating for a moment, you could hear his tone, which was slow for the first two words and then became firm, "You can't go to Oz for this matter." He also added impatience, "Tsk, Linda and I will do it. Waiting for you at the entrance of the nursing home."
Zach really didn't want to be interrupted when he and Benjamin were discussing serious issues, so he could only try hard now to see if he could get rid of Darcy. "The Arthur who was next to Eli before came to Grande because of some personal grudges. Do you want to talk about this? If so, don't bother. I don't care about this person at all. If I'm afraid that he won't come to take him away at midnight, I will deal with him myself. You don't have to track the abandoned vampires for the Sabbat. processing situation.”
Need to clarify something
Who knew about the fact that Eli was still alive and went to the Republic.
Zach naturally knows it, and so does the guy who started playing Two-Face in Oz a long time ago. Does the Sabbat Eight know about it? Does Darcy know
The question mark can just stay there. Because it all depends on whether the Sabbat told Barton's men that Eli Toledo did not return to the Sabbat at all. The false news that they passed on to Barton that Eli had been dealt with was entirely to appease him because Eli came to Barton. And Zachary Toledo has even done such things as pretending to be dead!
It is also possible for the Sabbat to tell Barton's men the truth, especially Darcy. After all, as the chief of Barton's police station, he can restrain Zach who likes to enjoy his status as a 'good citizen'.
Speaking of which, Sabbat still considers Zach as a factor that is unstable and needs to be monitored.
Back on the phone, the meaning of Zach's words was also very obvious. It was a half-test. If the Sabbat wanted to put on a show, they could do it completely. They themselves had completely failed in killing Eli, and they could only count on Barton's side. Papa Midnight, do your job well and provide Zach with a safe environment.
It was still a response that surprised Zach, "Tsk, I don't care what that guy does. But he went to Grande, huh, if you are kind, just tell him to thank him for his cooperation." It was Arthur who was talking about Yesterday I mentioned drawing lots, and then immediately returned to my topic, "It has nothing to do with that. I can't talk about it now. We'll talk about it when we meet. That's it. I'm done with it."
Neither gave Zach a chance to make his final effort.
Zach frowned and looked at the receiver, which only had a hang-up tone. He put down the phone helplessly, stood up and looked out the window.
Mo and Sam were already guiding the scurrying reporters away from the backyard to attend the official funeral. Zach waited for a while until the backyard was clear of outsiders before going downstairs.
Without further wasting time, he told Logan, who ran out to watch the fun, to take care of the people in the employee living area and tell them not to provoke Arthur. Just drove away from Grande in the new car.
What’s reassuring for everyone is that the resort is located on the west side of Highway 27 like Grande, so Zach doesn’t have to cross Highway 27 and experience strange things inexplicably.
But maybe it's a bit of a back-up, purely due to the bad luck of Zach being a terrible boss. He didn't even know the route of the funeral procession for this funeral, so it was only a farmland away. Zach was heading north to the nursing home on the dirt road in the fields here. There were ceremonial cars lined up with fluttering white satin, dragging firecrackers that shook the world and a procession of cries.
Fortunately, it didn't last long. The funeral procession soon crossed Route 27 and headed for Allen's funeral. Zach was able to drive to the nursing home quietly...
fart.
Halfway through the road, another good car appeared and started competing with Zach on the narrow dirt road.
"I know that Mokavi was discharged from the hospital today, and I know that you will definitely come back, so I will wait for you on the way." Add a word that reveals the identity of this person who steals the road, "Neighbor."
Zach didn't bother to respond to Porky. He could hear what Porky said, but Porky certainly couldn't hear what he said, so why waste your breath.
"You should thank me. It was me who suggested that Emilia get Mokavi out quickly. Hmph, you don't want the wizard of the Raging Wave family to come to Barton and find out that there is a vampire ancestor living in it."
Zach twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced sideways at Pochi, who was lined up next to his car.
Thanks? Is Porky kidding? Thank him for letting Benjamin say that he might move out of Grande
"What's your expression?" Pochi also glanced at Zach, as if he was a little surprised, and then frowned, "Did I do nothing wrong?" He thought he was asking sincerely.
Zack still didn't want to speak, so he took the steering wheel and began to force Pochi to give way.
Pochi began to show confusion and irritation, and gradually retreated and disappeared from the edge of Zach's field of vision. In the end, it could only be seen in the rearview mirror of Zach's car occupying the middle of the road.
"Uh." But even that didn't seem to make Pochi give up disturbing Zach. He continued to abuse the vampire's hearing to defend himself, "I think I did nothing wrong. You joined the Sabbat, and Mokawi is completely I stay in Barton because of your arrangement, and the wizard family has only one attitude towards the Sabbat! Benjamin is still a werewolf, Alpha! The wizard family’s attitude towards werewolves, huh, need I say it? Mokawi stays in the sanatorium to It will only lead to trouble in the future! The sooner we leave the nursing home, the better!"
It sounds like Porky has a very good reason.
Zach still didn't want to answer.
Pochi probably thought that his reasons were not enough, so he continued to work hard, "And this is also a good thing for Emilia. Don't you think you let Emilia go, hum, 'treat' Mokawi, How ridiculous. Can you give this professional woman some respect? Don’t think that I don’t know what you are thinking. Your wishes are constantly changing. At first, you were trying to prove your innocence (Mokavi was originally responsible for assassinating Da Xi's identity as a criminal came to Barton. Later, James cooperated with Novel to obtain proof that Mokawi was a patient, and the suspicion was eliminated. However, a transfer procedure for Mokawi to Barton was needed, so Zach Found Emilia.) Later, it turned into wanting to drag Mokavi to the nursing home, just because you didn't want to see her! Have you ever considered a talent like Emilia? How much time was wasted because of you! "
This made Zach want to laugh. He glanced at Pochi who looked really indignant in the rearview mirror, shook his head, and still didn't speak.
Pochi continued to speak, "You don't need to call me hypocritical. I really don't really care whether Emilia is used, hum, whether she is respected. But the mother of my child does."
Mu En, this is the title, 'the mother of my child', which is so close.
Zach didn't say anything. Anyway, he knew that Pochi wouldn't shut up, so he might as well listen to what he had to say.
"Emilia is helping me correct some of Mu En's bad habits." Poch also continued, "I'm quite satisfied with some of the results."
bad habit. For example, Mu En always has the habit of feeling that she needs to protect something for the first time (when there are strangers in the family, she will want to protect Boqi), for example, she feels that she needs to integrate into the collective mentality (at weddings). Do you remember, those things that were developed in the wolf pack, those things that are now the descendants of Quinn, the mother is not aware of it.
