Derek hung out at Grand until the afternoon and didn't leave until he got a phone call. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
It's strange to say that the call was from Amanda, and Zach was stunned for a while when he answered it. Amanda asked if Dr. Grande was there before Zach realized he was looking for Derek. Then, Derek complained, saying that he was not the only cardiopulmonary doctor, so why only him? He was grumbling, but he still asked about the patient's condition and said goodbye to Zach.
As soon as Derek left, Miley came out and said, "He finally left. Did you know that your brother is a talker? I thought surgeons were cold-blooded guys, right? Uh."
Some people may be curious about what Miley and Derek have in common, let me remind you of the different races. Derek, who is tolerant of foreign races in a surprising way, and Miley, who already lives in a West that is as tolerant of foreign races as paradise, had a profound discussion.
But Zach wanted nothing to do with Miley. But Louise answered, "They are not brothers~"
Then the two vampire lovers were having sex there, which made Miley feel uncomfortable for a while, and she disappeared unconsciously.
Alice called back and asked if Bain was back. If he was back, asking Bain to send something to Parker Elementary School seemed to be a handicraft that Alice and Maya had been preparing for a while. You all remember that Eve made a model of the Tower of Babel during Parker's summer vacation, and Alice and Maya made a ritual altar corresponding to the Indian culture of the ancient Indian wizard who summoned Papa at midnight.
But that's not the point. It's that Zach realized one thing after being reminded by this phone call. Bain still hasn't come back. This means that Evan is not coming back either.
"I'll go deliver the things." Louise smartly took over the simple task, "You go..." Louise smiled and walked away, not giving Zach a chance, "Do what you should do~~ "
Putting down the phone helplessly, Zach first went to the living area to find Old Hank, "Your man, tell me, if Evan hangs up, should I bring him back or just deal with it directly." It wasn't that Zach meant it. What he said was so bad, but Zach really felt that Evan was in serious danger.
Even if you put aside Bishop's evil spirit and seductress Riley, and only consider Fiona Falcon, haha, Mr. Falcon is the guy who slaughtered all the gangs in the southeast. Everyone feels that Fiona is deliberately provoking her marriage. And what good will happen to Evan who takes advantage of him
Old Hank's answer to Zach was, "If you can't bring anyone back alive, don't come back!!"
Bad guy. It was his old Hank himself who let Evan be taken away, and he is also the one who is embarrassing Zach here now. Bad old man.
Zach sets off for the West End.
I directly chose a shortcut from Grande to the west, south border to the north and entered the west border, the former Grande Cemetery in the west district...
Now that we have taken this road, the scenery on the road is naturally no longer the boring one with fields or houses on both sides of Route 27.
Does anyone remember why the original West Side Grand Cemetery was redeveloped? Club, high-end, elite club. It must be emphasized this way, because if you recall this incident, you should also remember that the purpose of this land at that time was to enhance the class differentiation of Barton, so that the people in the West End could continue to rise to high positions, and the common people could continue to... uh ,flat.
This was planned when the Lister family was still alive. Later, as we know, it was completely taken over by the Yuri family.
Zach's car drove beside the seemingly endless construction wall for a long time before bypassing the club that was already beginning to take shape.
The configuration of the project, as far as Zach could see, was similar to the port in the Southern District. Falcon's Construction Crew, Smith's Building Materials. Just changed the manager's Fisher into Yuri.
But looking at the staff wearing various 'logos' working happily together, hehe, Zach can guess that the person controlling the Falcon construction team here is Fiona.
In fact, it is not difficult to reason about the reason. It was Zach who suggested that Yuri let go of some of his properties in the North District and focus on building the club in the West District. Who is Yuri? There is a "cocoon" monk from the Republic of Alien Race in his family. (Maitreya explains to Zach that this is what the Republic of Alien Races say. People are just "cocoons" to prepare for their subsequent birth as "gods". It’s training.) Yuri will not go to Mr. Falcon to complete his project of establishing a foothold in Barton. He will only find Fiona who is at the same level in all aspects. Isn't that right? Fiona at least knows about the existence of alien races.
So naturally, the construction site here is extremely harmonious. Harmony is also needed. The club that continues to intensify the class divisions in Barton is a project that all West Enders will benefit from and there can be no surprises. As for the port, well, someone just doesn't want someone to benefit.
Zach had no intention of stopping near the construction site, and the speed of the car remained stable. It was enough that the things he saw along the way confirmed his expectations, and he continued to drive towards the manor...
As he entered the green belt of West End Manor, Zach began to pay attention to the car in his rearview mirror.
The driver had been following Zach for a while and found that Zach finally noticed him, gesturing as if he was happy.
It's Maitreya.
Zach really didn't want to stop the car and communicate with him. The reason... there was a communication barrier. Without a translator, Zach didn't think he could understand anything Miroku said.
Zach didn't even get out of the car, he just lowered the window, looking out the window he had to bend almost 90 degrees to be like his usual Maitreya.
"Zach!"
Zach was a little surprised, what is this extremely standard pronunciation
"Maitreya."
"After learning about your triumphant victory over Barton, I have always wanted to visit you."
Strange choice of words, Zach was ready to remind, "I'm not going to fight, there is no victory."
"Oh!" The tall and slender guy slapped his forehead, "I wanted to express the meaning of 'welcome back'. I thought 'triumph' contained the meaning of warm welcome!"
"Uh. Indeed." Zach could feel the other party's efforts to communicate with federal creatures normally, which is commendable. "But the premise of this word is war. You can just say that I am glad that I am back." A little guidance, it’s harmless, no problem~
"I remember!" Maitreya said with a comfortable smile, "I'm glad you're back."
But don't be fooled. Do you remember what Maitreya cultivated? It was 'perfect life encounters'. , if he smiles at you and you smile at him, you are accumulating the 'energy' for his eventual birth. So Zach just nodded politely and responded politely to the construction site he just saw, "The Yuri family, do you want you to supervise the project?"
"Yes." The pronunciation was too standard, and you could see from Maitreya's eyes that he was trying to transform his writing habits as much as possible, "I am very grateful to Mr. Yuri for giving me this opportunity, and also very grateful to the Smith and Falcon families. Cooperate." There was genuine pride on his face, "At the current speed, our club can officially open in the New Year."
"Really?" It's so fast, but considering that it's just to accommodate a small number of clubs for the city's elite, it's understandable, "Congratulations in advance."
"Thank you for your help." He said sincerely, "It's you who made these West End people realize that they need to unite."
Zach well deserved this kind of thanks, and naturally nodded, "Do you have anything else? I have..." Zach pointed in the direction of Bishop Manor, expressing that he had something to do.
"Oh! Sorry!" Maitreya opened the car window, "You are busy! I will visit Grande when I have time!"
Zach was already rolling up the car window, but reluctantly put it down again. The reason is simple, why bother? "Do you have a problem with me? Tell me now."
Maitreya, however, looked happy, and approached the car window again, "I want to ask for your advice, I think, I think..." It was a small excitement, "Join the ancestors' office!"
It's no exaggeration, Zach almost smashed the steering wheel. But Zach was educated and now gave Maitreya the smile he had been looking forward to. At the same time, it was Zach who said with a strong smile, "Okay, if you want to join, just join. There are already vampires who believe in the Holy Lord, and there are witchcraft beliefs." The werewolf, and you have a republican... cocoon, how nice~"
Maitreya is indeed the "Perfect Life Opportunity" himself, how innocent "Do you think so too?! That's what I think! Great! I have been talking about this with Smith's Rimmer! Sibella said The wizard represented by the representative was very unfriendly to the aliens from the Republic because of human smuggling... "Tsk, that's what happened. I remember that before Sibella and Novel formed an alliance, they inspected Port Massa to stop the aliens from the Republic. Enter Barton, "I am willing to improve this situation because I know Barton is a wonderful, friendly city! Zachary Grande, you have made this city a beautiful place, and I want my fellow Republicans to see me Beauty in the eyes!”
Zach felt like there was a mouthful of hay in his mouth, and he choked for a long time before swallowing it, "Do you want me to call Benjamin?" What do you really think? 'Don't push yourself too far! '
"I..." Maitreya hesitated for a moment, "Well, no need. I want to go by myself. This is an important thing, and what I want to do, well, is correct." Behind his serious face, he made no secret of his feelings for Zach. Thanks, "Knowing that you and I have the same idea gives me confidence." Maitreya shyly added, "'Confidence'? Did I use it correctly? I want to express that my idea is recognized by you."
"You're right." Zach felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to withdraw quickly, "Is there anything else?"
"there is none left!"
Zach rolled up the window and drove towards Bishop Manor, maintaining a well-bred face, because Maitreya in the rearview mirror kept watching and waving goodbye very sincerely. Why.
After this indescribable episode, Zach's car stopped at the gate of Bishop Manor, and he completed the meeting with Ben, who had fallen asleep in the car.
Zach knocked on Bain's car window, "Wake up."
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an unhappy vampire's face outside the foggy car window, which was probably not what Bain expected. He rolled and struggled on the car seat for a while, then opened the window, and a sour smell created by the human body in a closed space came out of the car door, "Sir! I'm sorry! I, I..."
Zach waved his hand and rang the visitor bell in front of the manor's gate, "You can go back." It was Zach's fault that he brought the emotions created by Maitreya to Bain. "Take a hot bath and have a good rest."
"Oh, oh..." Knowing that he had disappointed people, he couldn't hide it at all. When Bain returned to the car, Zach had rang the visitor bell for the second time.
A man with an indifferent expression came out and opened the door. Zac took a quick look and saw that he was a fifth-generation Rimel, dressed like a butler.
He started by saying, "He is still alive." Apparently he had guessed the reason why Zach came, "But, he is not well."
Zach tilted his head, not planning to waste time communicating with a fifth-generation Rimel.
"I should warn you that you may see some..." The butler's face showed an uncomfortable look, "uncomfortable scenes."
Zach glanced at the butler, but still didn't intend to speak, and walked step by step in the vestibule of Bishop Manor. You all still remember that Bishop Manor is very big~
After finally entering the main entrance under the leadership of the housekeeper, Zach heard, uh, a weak breath... The kind that sounded bad, the kind that sounded like dying...
Zach glanced at the butler again. Although the butler did not stop leading the way, "If you don't want to see that scene, you can wait for a while. Here."
Zach pouted and kept walking.
Enter the atrium. Zach frowned, glanced at the backyard building which was another long walk away, and finally spoke, "Are they still behind? I remember that the backyard is where the old Bishops lived."
"Yes." The butler's footsteps were slowing down. It was obvious that if he had a choice, he would not want to go there. "The place chosen by the evil spirit Sher said that doing...'that kind of thing' there would give her an unusual sense of satisfaction."
Zach's footsteps stopped completely, because his weak breathing naturally became much clearer as the distance got closer. The effect of clarity is that Zach can hear the rhythmic... Well, you can imagine for yourself.
And the butler's words revealed something... ominous.
"Did Sher the evil spirit choose it?" Zach frowned, "I thought it was Riley and Fiona looking for fun. Why was the evil spirit also involved?"
The butler's face began to wrinkle, "It's because the evil spirit has a body in this manor." The butler's T-step, which he originally stood in, inexplicably turned into a crotch. Clamped very tightly. The butler looked at Zach, "Mr. Bishop's dead body has maintained a perfectly healthy body with our blood. And 'that kind of thing', as long as you have a body, you can participate."
It’s getting more and more ominous…
The corner of Zach's eye twitched, "Then I can confirm it." More than once, all the places on Zach's face that could twitch were twitching, "The soul of the evil spirit Shel, the body of Bishop. It is impossible for her and him to use this Is it right to use the physical and spiritual configuration to do 'that kind of thing' with Riley or Fiona?"
The housekeeper subconsciously tightened his, er, legs, "Yes. So I said your employee's condition is not good. Even if we can keep him alive with our blood, his spirit has..." No more words.
Zach turned around and said, "Take me to the reception room, I'll wait." The housekeeper was right, Zach didn't want to see that scene, but it was a pity that some impressions were already imprinted in his mind, and he had to ask, " Why??Has Sher ever had this interest??”
"No. She just wants to desecrate Bishop's body and the place where Bishop's parents live, in any way she can think of. The satisfaction of the evil spirit." The housekeeper answered.
Zach didn't want to comment. Poor, poor, Evan.
Who would have thought. Since Zach met Evan, he has not had any real emotional tendency towards this extremely arrogant employee. This first clear emotion is actually sympathy... As expected, Retribution is a bitch.
