Would you be surprised if I told you that James, who officially returned to Barton's life, ran back to Grand after get off work? Vertex 23S. Updated the fastest Benjamin was not surprised. He looked at the humans competing with him on the dining table and said, "Have you paid the heating bill for your own home?"
James glanced at Benjamin and said, "Hand it over."
That's it, this conversation is gone. There was only the sound of chewing on the dining table.
You can feel that Benjamin still has the desire to speak, because there are two girls at the table.
Benjamin chewed the food in his mouth for a while, "I'm going to give our ancestors' office a superficial appearance. Do you have any suggestions?"
Maya knew that Benjamin and Alice were unhappy in the past two days, looking back and forth, not ready to interrupt.
But James spoke, and he was supposed to be giving his real opinion, "What about the outdoor equipment store?"
Benjamin actually said this as a sign of kindness to Alice. After all, we all know that the point of his dispute with Alice was that Benjamin didn't listen to Zach's advice, right? Now that he has taken the initiative to let Zuzu Firm have a legitimate appearance, he is giving in.
So Benjamin wasn't ready for advice, especially from a police officer: "What do you mean, weapons?"
"Of course." James was still giving suggestions, "Shotguns, traps, and the like." James tilted his mouth, "But I mainly mean tents, tools, fishing rods, etc., if If a fishing rod can be considered a weapon, you are quite close to the uninhabited beach, right?"
"Do you mean that I should open an equipment store and encourage the citizens of Barton to run around in the wild at any time, including on full moon nights?"
James still didn't feel Benjamin's true intention, but he still gave the advice seriously, "You can control the wolf body, right? So yes, Barton's wilderness is safer than the city." James curled his lips, Eating faster.
Benjamin frowned, looked at James for a moment, then turned away and faced Alice, "I told Zach before about opening a holiday estate similar to the Inheritor, and he mocked me with the full moon night."
Alice, who had been silent until now, rolled her eyes. But James answered, with a strange tone, "Huh, if you feel that you are being ridiculed by him, you have fallen into his trap. It means admitting that you have no self-control. Understand." James looked up and looked for it. Look for, "Maya, salt." He took the salt handed by Maya and continued, "But a holiday estate is not a good idea. You don't want ordinary human customers to stay where you receive alien commissions." Looking at Benjamin, "You You don’t want humans to live there. You just need to let customers come, have a flow of customers, and hide the aliens who really come to you to entrust matters. This is the reason why you want to give the ancestors’ office a front, right?”
Everyone at the table looked at James.
James felt a little uncomfortable and frowned, "What are you doing? Is there something on my face?" He pulled the napkin and wiped it on his face.
"No, you continue." Benjamin paused eating and motioned for James to continue.
James lowered the corner of his mouth, moved his chair, and put a little distance away from the three aliens. "Stop talking, I am a policeman." This realization came a little late.
"No, keep talking." Zach appeared at the door of the restaurant. The reason will be explained later, "This is a good suggestion."
Zach disappeared through the door again. But he soon appeared again, with a wine bottle in one hand and a cup in the other. He swayed and sat down at the main seat of the dining table. "And I have a little suggestion. In order to increase the passenger flow to cover up the aliens, don't sell the equipment, rent it instead." He seemed to be very keen on this suggestion. He looked at James out of politeness to supplement his suggestion, then looked at Benjamin and raised an eyebrow, "No one wants to buy something that will not be used once in several years, but only If you pay for a one-time use, most people are willing to give it a try~"
Benjamin looked at Zach for a while and then turned to Alice. Benjamin still knew his purpose, "Is he mocking me again? I didn't hear it."
Alice rolled her eyes again, "He didn't, he was giving advice seriously!" Then she turned to Zach, "Lower your eyebrows!"
"Oh, I'm sorry." Zach lowered his eyebrows, "Bad habit, bad habit of making others listen carefully to what I say." The principle is that facial expressions help attract attention. This is Toledo's instinct.
James looked around, not knowing what he was thinking, and then lowered his head to eat.
The table was quiet for a while, Zach being the most bored. Because the act of drinking is much simpler than eating. This is an embarrassing moment that vampires often face in social circles, so only Zach wants to break the silence, "If we don't continue to discuss the appearance of our ancestors' firm, then I will have some bad news. "
Zach managed to attract everyone's attention.
First, he shook his glass and said, "The call just now was from Mo."
"Mo? How is her life in the Republic?" Alice asked. The emotional foundation is there, you all remember that Mo was Alice's Republican cooking teacher for a while.
"The Republic is her home, what do you think?" Zach smiled.
"This is a taunt." James raised his fork, drawing everyone's attention to him. Under the gathered gazes, James looked like he had seen through Zach... In fact, what James had seen through was the alien race. "The Republic is already a country that is not tolerant of alien races." Mo Hui It’s impossible to live well next to the humans who betrayed her in the first place.”
The eyes focused on James withdrew and focused on Zach. Alice was worried about Mo, but as for Benjamin, he looked confused. Why is James talking calmly about aliens here
Zach wouldn't answer Benjamin because Benjamin was involved but just didn't realize it. Answered Alice, "Not ideal, but not too bad. At least she said she and Kim were safe."
"Where is it safe?" Alice asked, this was very important, "Where is the Angel? Where is the Secret Alliance? Where is the Republic of Aliens? Or..." Alice frowned, "Where is Eli and Zagel."
As people who went to the Republic from Grande, we can think that Mo has his own halo. You heard what Alice listed, the angel should be grateful to Grande, so he will protect Mo. Needless to say, this is common sense.
As for the Secret Alliance, Zachary Toledo is the only legacy of the Federation that has not been killed. Only Mo has information about this in the Republic, so it is considered precious. We are not naive to think that the Secret Alliance will welcome Mo with open hands. At least, it will keep Mo alive until the Secret Alliance digs out the information about Zachary Toredo. That's the truth.
As for the foreign races in the Republic, how bad can the family be
Finally, Eli and Zagel. This combination was forcibly brought together by Papa at midnight. To be honest, no one can predict what these two guys will do. Including Zach. Zach may be able to predict Zagel. Old joke, Zagel is Zach. But Zach, well, couldn't predict Eli. What else can I do except say that Papa Midnight is sinister.
"This is the bad news." Zach smiled helplessly, "Mo has been promoting her soap opera with 'Sophia' in the Republic, traveling across the country, but Mo has not stayed in any force in the Republic."
James frowned, "Is that soap opera heroine very popular in the Republic?"
"Obviously the atmosphere of the republican people is very reserved. They were a little shocked that 'Sophia' was, um, unrestrained on the screen." Do you still remember the name of this addictive soap opera "Sophia and Her Lovers"? This play is somewhat similar to the introductory teaching to the Commonwealth people by the Republicans who are not prepared to actually come to the Commonwealth."
"This is misleading!" James finally looked like James, claiming to be righteous, "She became famous in the Federation by protesting against the advertisement that gave a misleading impression, Miley's advertisement." 'Toy' advertisement , remember, "How can she represent the Confederacy with her ridiculous soap opera! To create a worse impression!"
Before Zach could reply, Benjamin jumped in first and stared at James, "Did I hear you right? James, now you can talk about aliens peacefully, but when it comes to a third-tier star who is good at using marketing methods, you I’m quite excited.”
Zach quickly shut up, not wanting to participate in the conversation.
James stared at Benjamin, his mouth open and he didn't say anything for a long time.
There was an awkward moment at the dinner table. Maya, who had never participated directly, said, "He has to hate something, doesn't he!" When he found that the eyes began to focus on him, he quickly approached Alice, "Ignore me, you continue to talk."
Alice received Maya's message and asked Zach, "Can an actor's entourage protect Mo?"
"No." Zach shook his head and returned to the topic, "But if a bunch of people are watching and suppressing each other's efforts to contact her, then she will be safe."
"Ugh, this kind of thing can't last forever!"
"So I said it's bad news." Zach shook his head and paused for a while, "Mo also mentioned something. The Republic of China is becoming more and more harsh on the living environment of foreign races..." Zach frowned, "That's harsh. .”
No one answered. Only Zach, who had spoken to Mo, could explain this. "As you all know, the Republic's local alien races no longer 'believe' in them, so the existence of the Republic's alien races itself is very difficult. Then." Zach's eyebrows were a little deep, and the person he was looking at was Benjamin. "Mo said that she heard some rumors that the Republican government was hunting aliens, regardless of whether they were federal aliens or republican aliens."
No one answered again. Zach, on the other hand, continued to look at Benjamin, although Benjamin already had an impatient expression like "Why are you always looking at me?" "Mo hasn't seen it with her own eyes, it's just some rumors. She doesn't want to really witness it. So she didn’t ask for verification. In fact, she didn’t know how to ask for verification. After all, it was an incident carried out by the government.”
Benjamin twitched his lips, "Look what I'm doing, should I express my opinion?? I'm not a republican or a republican government!"
Zach ignored it and continued to look at Benjamin. Zach had faith that Benjamin would react, "I'm talking about the republican state, the state apparatus, killing aliens in the national territory..."
Benjamin's reaction was really slow, and James interrupted, "With what? A gun? Ha." James was mocking, because James knew very well what kind of armed group the hunters in the Federation were. , "Are you saying that the Republic has raised a group of hunters and given them weapons in the name of the country?"
Thanks James for getting the point across. Benjamin finally understood. Staring at Zach, "Weapons, this country, the Republic, is making weapons against aliens!"
Zach nodded, "Not only the weapons, but also the people who use these weapons. But I doubt that the republican government calls these people the same as our federation."
Although James didn't know what Zach and Benjamin were alluding to, he could feel the dissonance in these words, "Has Mo ever seen these, uh, weapons made by the country?"
"I just said, Mo doesn't want to go and verify it in person." Zach glanced at James and felt that James should be able to react, so he added a hint, "But, maybe, we have met before."
James pouted and waved his fork, "Humph, where shall we meet? The Republic? I'm sorry, I have never been out of the Federation." Then quickly, James glanced at Zach and said, "In public In the file, I don’t have it.”
Oh, what I'm talking about here is the incident when he was still in the military and performing a mission. James has definitely been abroad.
Zach was not ready to continue prompting James. He looked back at Benjamin and said, "Do you still want me to continue solving the incident you threw at me?" He started to say things that James didn't understand at all.
Alice, on the other hand, was the one who didn't understand. She looked back and forth between Benjamin and Zach, trying to ask, "What is it? What to deal with?"
Zach did not answer Benjamin, "If I continue to handle that weapon made by the country and used against aliens, I may be in danger."
These words confuse the others more and more.
James, on the other hand, glanced at Zach, frowned, and was not ready to speak, probably still preparing to observe.
Alice looked a little anxious, "What are you talking about? We're not talking about Mo now, are we?"
Benjamin frowned and did not look at Alice, but answered Alice, "No." Then he glanced at James, probably moved by what Zach just said, 'I might be in danger,' "James Ms. Do you still have contact with your old partner Coulson?"
"What are you doing?" James, who wanted to continue observing, was obviously not prepared for things to happen to him so quickly.
"I want you to ask your old partner if there is anything missing from the evidence section of their Southern District Police Station."
James was a little impatient, "What? Well, you have to ask yourself..." He is a policeman after all, and he is not a stupid guy. He finally thought about it and glared at Zach for an instant, "Did you just say weapons?! The country Weapons made to fight aliens?!"
Zach nodded.
James continued, "The self-destruction case was left by Papa at the republican's house at midnight, and the weapons were found by me?!"
"I said, we may have met before." Zach nodded.
