"Did you ask him if he wanted to be a Toledo??"
Zach was on the phone with Louise, and it was Louise who asked. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
"Yeah~"
"Yeah??" Louise's wide eyes could be felt through the receiver.
"He has Toledo's 'sight'~" Zach used an awkward word and modified it himself, "Foresight~"
"You just met him for the first time." Louise had calmed down and simply stated the facts that Zach had just told.
"It's not important~" Zach was in a good mood, "When I see a human who meets Toledo's standards, I just know it~"
"You just know." Louise stated the facts Zach said again.
Zach was not yet immersed in his own emotions and ignored Louise's feelings, so he softened his voice and said, "Louis, this is not a situation where I ask you to become my descendant. You understand."
"I know."
I don’t know if you all know that it was Zach who once gave him the proposal to have a woman accompany him for eternity. Now, it is about rebuilding 'Toledo'. These are two things that cannot be compared at all.
Zach knew that Louise really understood. They had discussed the future of the Toledo clan more than once when they were in Barton. Sooner or later, this would happen and Zach would no longer want (Louise) because of his willful liking. A mistake in rescuing people ('General'), and a transaction promise (Charlie), creating descendants, simply because they need descendants.
"But he was still too young, and like Quinn, too young and too old are not ideal situations for becoming a vampire, so I just told him to think about it and not make a decision in a hurry."
"Yes." Louise responded simply, "You do what you need to do. Then, do what I just told you, as soon as possible."
This is not the first time we have watched the phone call between Zach and Louise. Those of you who are good at summarizing should have discovered the routine of this phone call. First, Zach always asks about Barton's situation, and Louise answers. Louise will then ask how Zach is doing, and Zach will answer.
Now at this stage, Zach told Louise that he met the young dog brother he wanted to recruit as Toledo last night.
Zach curled his lips, "Deal with it right away. Love you, goodbye."
"Love you, goodbye."
and the end of the final call.
Putting down the phone, Zach went directly to the balcony to find Nick.
Winters in the west are not as cold as in Barton in the east, but not much better. Zach peeled off the hair that Nick had neglected in his selfless meditation. As soon as the fine sand was freed from his hair, it was lifted up by the wind and poured into the room where Zach opened the door.
The Cappadocia housekeeper who was once Revro appeared in the dust-polluted room without saying a word and silently cleaned it.
Zach glanced at the butler and closed the balcony door, "This Cappadocia makes me uncomfortable. I don't think he is happy to work here."
"He knows that he is being watched by his former clan brothers." Nick said, "Most of Cappadocia is weird like him."
"You mean the Cappadocia guys who were transformed into people?"
"Well, Lesembra intentionally kept the Cappadocia clan in this embarrassing position." Regarding the change of vampire clan, Nainad Cappadocia had already made it very clear in Barton, here Not repeated.
Everyone treated him like a child of a noble who made a mistake, had his surname revoked, was adopted into a distant relative, and was then sent to work in the main family. This was the awkward situation that everyone was watching.
Nick also looked back at the housekeeper who was sweeping the floor, shook his head, and looked back at Zach, "Did you know that the housekeeper that Lesembra was going to send initially was mine."
"your?"
"The guy who used to be my man." Nick waved his hand, "I told Lesembra that if he dared to send it away, I would dare to kill him." Nick said in a calm tone, "Anyone who has made mistakes here will be killed. ”
"Is it so extreme?" Both of them knew that the housekeeper heard it clearly. Zach was not defending anything, he was just telling the truth. "Becoming a Cappadocia is already the punishment for making a mistake, so why worry about it."
"This is not a calculation." Nick waved his hand and looked away from Zach, "I just told you, this is a situation that Lesembra deliberately created for Cappadocia."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "What situation? Let Cappadocia become the gathering clan of those who made mistakes in the Sabbat? And then automatically make other clans hate Cappadocia?"
"Yes." Nick looked up at Zach again, smiling inexplicably, "Are you happy to have me by your side to help you understand the Sabbat~ How can you thank me~"
Seriously, there is no better guide than Nick, and Zach needs to thank him. What a shame, Zach…
"I happen to need your help with something, let's finish it together."
Nick twitched his lips and said, "I won't help. Submit it at the Sabbat meeting, and then let Lesembula decide whether it's worth my presence."
Zach pretended not to hear this and said to himself, "After the Herman factory, a local enterprise that was once the mainstay of Barton's economy, closed, Mr. Herman entrusted me to do something for him. .I’m not done.”
Nick took his hair and stuffed it into his ears.
Zach was too lazy to stop this childish move. "Not only was it not completed, but he also asked him to let the target of my revenge get better and better in Barton." Eisela, "Louis just told me about Mr. Herman. Grande was given an ultimatum. If Grande doesn't resolve the matter, he will return to Barton." Zach raised his eyebrows and decided to quote Louise's quote from Mr. Herman, "'Let Barton Everything is turned upside down'."
Nick now looked like a monster with hairy ears. He looked at Zach and said unexpectedly seriously, "If this is about Barton's incident, you should mention it at the Sabbat meeting and let Lesembra know. That's it. In two days, you should be ready."
"I won't. Just let Revro, who is monitoring me, inform Lesembra. And I don't need to wait two days, you can help me solve it now."
"I said, I won't help."
"If you don't help, then I'm going to ask you some questions you don't want to answer."
"That would be best." This was the last insistence of a person who was constantly being tortured. "I will follow your example of treating Lesembula, playing the silent game and not talking to you at all."
"Where are the illegal workers who entered the federal territory from Barton?" Zach naturally asked.
Nick raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips, and made a gesture of not speaking.
"The person Herman asked me to take revenge on was Aisela. Because Aisela used bad means to force him to sell the factory at a low price, and in the end neither party benefited."
Nick took a pose and began to meditate. Uh, yes, the kind of sitting cross-legged and meditating.
"Aisela has always been the woman who secretly manipulated the Sabbat in the early stages. She did many things for the Sabbat, including roping in Liszt, Fisher, and Falcon to carry out human smuggling activities."
With his posture in place, Nick glanced at Zach gloomily, "If you hadn't told her that the Sabbat manipulated the election and destroyed the List family, she would still be the woman we manipulated." He broke the silence. game. It seems that this kind of game cannot be played by someone as bad as Zack.
Zach did not respond to this accusation. Anyway, everyone knows the fact, "After Herman left Barton, there was an informant in Barton who helped him continue to obtain information about Barton. Mr. Pickles, who was once a member of the West Enders."
Nick shook his head, looking like he didn't want to speak again. Zach's attitude was already obvious. This was not a conversation, but a notification, with the final result being 'you have to help me'. So, why waste your energy engaging in a conversation.
"As a declining family in Barton, Mr. Pixar is reasonably concerned about the sudden collapse of the Lister family. The human smuggling case."
Nick frowned. The nodes in Zach's words began to connect.
"Have you thought about it?" Zach naturally noticed Nick's expression, "Yes, Herman found the circulation channel of illegal workers. He even found out that when the people of Barton West Side were not ready for everything, they blamed the Lister family. , the people who are really involved in human smuggling. Aesela, whom he wants to take revenge on, is one of them."
Nick had to speak, "You said that Herman left Barton, how did he find out? That Pixar who used to be from Barton's West End?"
"It's not important. You can't touch these two people." Zach said simply, "Pixar is a devout believer in the Holy Lord, ha." Don't pay attention to Zach's little digression, "He is so pious that in the early days when the Fallen Angel appeared in Barton, Summoned a cherubim (Zac guessed it when he checked Pix's phone book in Barton. Pix had the phone numbers of all the real human clergy in Barton, and no longer had any contact with the church after the demon took control of it. Pixar’s call to become a priest is not recorded.). Of course, he may not be aware of it himself.” The point of mentioning this is “Can the Sabbat attack such a devout believer?”
Nick shook his head irritably.
Zach shrugged, "I think so. As for Herman, he is just a human, and he is still an old man." Zach smiled, "But, he also has a younger brother in Barton." The time has come to test everyone's memory. "There is a workshop in Barton that makes and sells trophies."
Nick looked at Zach impatiently, and there was obviously something behind this.
"This brother Herman got to know a lot of the third generation of the West District, including Eve from Smith, because of a bizarre case that happened in Barton in the middle of the year." The spontaneous combustion of the sea monster caused by the gathering of wizards.
"Tsk, Rimmer." Nick thought he had heard the point. Don't blame him, we'd think so too if we reviewed in full what Louise said to Zach on the phone.
"Rimmer is not what you should worry about. What you should worry about is the third-generation close friend of the West District." Zach's face was full of pride, "The Banshee."
Nick stared at him, "Your Grande sister? That Alice?!"
Zach nodded, "They are on winter vacation, and their vacation plan is to open a child care facility at an elementary school called Parker in the West Paisley district. This project was very successful during the summer vacation. It is a challenge and challenge for the people of the West District to their future generations. Cultivate." Zach was a little unimpressed, "As you can guess, deliberately creating a little difficulty and letting the children find a way to complete the project on their own, something like this."
"Just tell me!" Nick was tired of this explanation. Focus, he needs focus.
"These three generations of children have to find their own funds and cannot get resources from their own families, which means sponsorship. Oh, by the way," Zach added himself, "Aesera's son, Caesar, is also in it. "
"That's great. Those three generations found that brother Herman, just when Herman's hatred for Barton and his gang was about to explode!"
"Right now, it's just that brother Herman was inexplicably rejected when he asked for his brother's opinion." Zach said it matter-of-factly, but in fact he just repeated what Louise said on the phone as matter-of-factly, "After all, this is this guy who has a brother. He is almost a local symbol of the city of Barton, and as the younger brother he is just an unknown trophy dealer. The only project that has the potential to establish a relationship with the people of the West End, he needs advice.”
"Is Herman in Barton now?!" Nick's face was gloomy. "As long as he hasn't arrived in Barton yet and I don't deal with this trouble within the sight of the Banshee, nothing will happen."
Right idea. pity
"You have probably entered Massachusetts now, so you have lost this opportunity."
Nick looked down and began to think.
Zach was not too anxious, "Perhaps I should tell you that this brother Herman is the only sponsor that these three generations of the West Region have found, so they are all very concerned about the final result~" That's right, pressure. At the same time, it is also true. Have you ever carefully enumerated the composition of the three generations of children in the West District, including Caesar? Haha, the effect of not being able to choose their own family-related industries is that they can find sponsors in Barton. There are really not many.
Nick was still thinking.
Zach was no longer anxious, "The only solution is to let Herman keep quiet in Barton, and at the same time, let his brother sponsor Barton's future people."
"Tsk." Nick finished thinking, the bad kind, and looked at Zach, "I can make a phone call right now and ask my company to get rid of all workers with questionable identities within one day, and then there will be no Any substantial evidence proves the connection between illegal workers and the west. Even if this Herman was in Barton and brought down all the people from the west side of Barton in order to punish Isela, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Then if you do this, I may really have to discuss Barton's future situation with Lesembra at the Sabbat meeting." Zach didn't joke, he said it seriously, "The human smuggling case will make the West District Half of the family will be affected. Lister's conviction will also put the Yuri family, which owns all Lister's properties, in an awkward position. Not to mention making Mayor Anthony, who has been very supportive of Ethela's political activities recently, become a joke ." Zach made a flowery gesture, "Pfft, James' future~"
Nick stared at Zach. If his purpose was just to allow Zach to talk to Rutelesombra again, just hold on. But, obviously, there are more important things to care about here, right? "Do you have a solution?"
"I do." Zach smiled, "Actually, my girlfriend has one, do you want to hear it?"
"explain."
"The Sabbat rebuilds the 'Herman' brand that Herman blew up with his own hands. Yes, bribery. This is always the most effective means of transaction."
"Where."
"Here, in the West, there is no reason for Herman to stay in Patton, and let him have the opportunity to do bad things at any time, right? It is up to you, the end of the illegal labor flow, to propose it with sincerity." Finally, what Rui said at the beginning, This is Zach asking Nick for help, "Help me complete the after-sales service for this dissatisfied Grande customer." Zach, leaving no room for error, "Please~Nick~"
Nick nodded hard. It is extremely rare that before Zach leaves with satisfaction, "When this matter is over, I'd better not find out that the Sabbat is doing anything in Barton's mayoral election. The information from labor channels was exposed from you."
Zach looked back at Nick and frowned slightly, "Why do you have such thoughts?"
"Because it's so convenient, for you, everything is tilted in your favor. And we all know that Toledo is always so convenient when doing things. There is always a key point waiting at a key position to take over the direction of events. Like this, winter vacation project? Your sister? Third generation West End? Brother who makes trophies? Zach, you better not be using me."
Zach was quiet for a while and smiled, "What if I'm just using you?" He asked clearly.
Zach waited for a while, but didn't wait anymore, because it seemed that the person being asked couldn't think of an answer.
