Everyone in Grande is completely unaware of who is about to arrive here in a luxury car. As someone said in a certain shaped reality, Grande's daily life is never disturbed. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
The daily routine going on now is an 'education course'...the teacher is Zach and the student is James. So... corny.
"I've been waiting all morning! Waiting for the Vega Police Department to notify me of their progress!"
"Are you thinking too highly of yourself?" Zach was reading documents behind his desk, legal documents regarding Grande's indictment. Under normal circumstances, these documents are not meant to be seen by the parties involved. But based on the extremely transparent relationship between Zucker and the attorney representing Grande, Zucker obtained these documents to help him continue to cooperate with the plaintiffs and delay the progress in court.
Oh, as ordinary people, Grande can do little to fight against the power class that abuses the system. Don't worry, Zach said to James: "The Vega Police Department doesn't have to report anything to you."
"No need?!" James leaned forward and looked across the desk to look at Zach, "Logan is your employee! Before he completely lost the definition of human beings, he was still a citizen of Barton! Now he is a serial murderer of Vega. The only witness! Vega Police Station does not need to report to Barton Police Station?!”
Okay, everyone should know what happened, just in case anyone didn't follow along
Sires took over the job of going to the mill every day to get work reports. The report he brought back today included several copies of Madison’s solemn statement that she was forced to write a story about being kidnapped by an old woman. In Vega, a foreign woman , the story of the first 'date' with a human male.
Zach continued to look at the document in his hand, "The only witness? Are you Miss Lily, Root's secretary?" Zach looked back out the window, looking in the direction of the living area, and sighed slightly. The reason is that the document in hand now mentions the reason why the judge ruled that Grande's witnesses were invalidated. It was not because the people in the living area were Grande's employees and there was a conflict of interest, but because they were ex-criminals themselves. There is no reliability. It's hurtful, but it's true. Zach held a moment of silence for the employees he didn't care much about, then looked away, and responded to his mood, "A former criminal who works in Barton's funeral industry, and a secretary to the Mayor of Newton, what do you think the Vega Police Department will care about?" one?"
James retracted his forward body with an annoyed look on his face. James understood that Vega's situation was officially out of anyone's control, literally.
James knew that he should not continue to dwell on anything related to this matter, as it would only bring him frustration.
However, the frustration caused by doing nothing seems to be the same.
This is very uncomfortable.
"I just want to know something! Know what's going on in Vega!" James was breaking Zach's desk. Fortunately, the table is the work of Old Hank and has quality assurance.
"Ha." Zach chuckled, looking at the document in his hand, "You will know, as long as Madison continues to emphasize that his 'future record-style' writing method is harmless~" Zach was mocking himself. The author, "He will continue to send these manuscripts over to clarify his relationship with these shaped realities~" Madison is very concerned about the asterisks in his stories, isn't he? He is deeply afraid of being missed, "Then you can clearly see everything that happens in Vega, right? What else do you want~"
"This is what I don't want!" James became excited again, "I don't want to see the development of things from Madison's story! I think, I want..." What James wanted to say was 'participation'. However, he also knows that if he wants to participate, he can only be written into the story. So, does James want to be written into the story of being kidnapped? Ah. He didn't want to, he didn't want to let Zach kill either Madison or West... Forget it, let's not mention it.
As I said before, this is a 'class'. Zach was going to conclude, "If there were vampires who lived forever in this world, overcame and ruled all matter..." Frank said, Zach just quoted, "Everyone knows, don't waste time caring about things you can't control. Then you Life is limited and it is just a matter of transformation. Ordinary humans should also..."
Before Zach could finish speaking, he put down the document in his hand and looked to the west. Of course, Zach's view was blocked by the office door, which was just an action, and Zach heard the sound of the car from the west.
James' face was gloomy as he waited for Zach to finish his summary, "What! Finish it! What should I, an ordinary human being, do?"
Students with poor qualifications? Or is it a teacher whose teaching methods are really problematic? Let everyone judge for themselves.
Zach was too lazy to respond to James, "A guest is here." Zach began to collect the documents and frowned, "A guest I don't think I will see again."
James clicked his tongue and felt self-conscious, "Should I avoid it?"
"It depends." Zach had already heard the sound of the car bypassing Grande's front door and driving directly into the backyard. Zach looked down from the window, a welcoming smile on his face.
The response Zach got was a deadpan look. Nuo, a gray professional who should not have any interactions with Zach under the eyes of charm, disappeared from Zach's sight and came up.
"Detective." Nuo glanced at James, said the title, and stood still at the door of the office.
The three of them looked at each other for a while. Zach waved his hand and said to James, "It looks like this is a situation you need to avoid."
James did... well, something that wouldn't surprise anyone. It seemed like he was fixed on his seat and didn't even move.
Zach looked at Nuo apologetically, and then said, "If it wasn't about Barton, I don't think the detective would make things difficult for us."
This requires everyone to recall Nuo’s experience. Does everyone still remember the incident that actually led to the friendship between No and Zach? It was Nuo who handled Quest's commission, and Quest was a very interesting guy and often sent Nuo to the middle of the country to do things~
Combined with the lesson Zach taught James just now, you can imagine James' constipated expression after hearing this.
Nuo thought for a while and then stepped into the office. He faced Zach expressionlessly, "Quest's younger brother." He seemed to be helping Zach recall, "The person Quest entrusted you to find for the first time was sent by me. People who go to live in the middle.”
Zach raised his hand and interrupted, "I know who you are talking about." Zach has his own way of remembering events. Thanks to Madison for recording the story, "I was attacked by a hellhound with my wife at the Paisin bus station and went crazy. couple. Thanks to you and me, they are starting their lives over in the Midlands.”
"This younger brother had an accident when he contacted Quest recently." He paused here.
Zach wasn't sure why Norton was here, so he could only ask, "What accident?"
Nuo actually snorted, which was in line with the setting that he was planted by Charming Eyes to hate Zach, "Why don't you just say 'I don't care about Quest or his brother' and send me away."
James lowered his head at this moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zach seemed to think for a moment, "Because I know you wouldn't come to me if it wasn't a problem you couldn't solve. And you were the one who brought back the 'Colt' even if you were ambushed by a heavily armed hunter. Time), people who can escape unscathed. Therefore, the problems you cannot solve can only belong to one type." Zach showed himself, "My type. So, I can only listen to you patiently. After that, decide whether I need to care about it, right?" How realistic, Zach's words, "How about we don't waste time?"
Nuo looked at Zach for a while, nodded, looked at James again who was still thinking about something, turned away and went to the bookshelf in the office, fixing it on a book casually. We can understand that he just doesn't want to look at Zach. "Quist's brother has often missed Quist's calls recently, occasionally answering the phone, and the content of the conversation is quite vague. And you know that Quist is a very controlling person, When he demands to know details about his brother's life and doesn't get accurate answers, he becomes suspicious and regains control."
Zach didn't answer. This was not an accident. Zach was still waiting for the important point.
No continued, "One of the ways that Quest forced his brother to 'give back' control of his life was to cut off his brother's financial support..."
Why are the ways rich people control their blood relatives so uninnovative, hey.
"Quest failed." What Nuo said next requires everyone to contact the previous list of winners for the Big Q year-end reward award. What Quest showed us here in Grande, the Quest Group is taking over Liszt. The family makes business decisions with merchant resources across the federation
"Although Quest has cut off his brother from receiving funds directly from him, he cannot cut off his brother from stealing funds from Quest's cooperative merchants in the middle." Nuo corrected, "Stealing funds." I believe it. I, there is a difference, "Quest doesn't want those merchants to find out about his family's internal affairs and have a bad impact on the reputation of the Quest Group, so he can only acquiesce to his brother's behavior."
Zach had a feeling that this was not an accident and he had to keep listening. Because, up to this point, this is still a human matter, not a 'Zach type' matter.
"What Quest can do is track where the funds embezzled by his brother have gone." Nuo finally moved his eyes away from the bookshelf and turned to Zach. The important point should be here, "Quest It was discovered that, under the botched operation of his brother, the money flowed through several shell companies and then all went into an organization that Quest had never heard of.”
James, who didn't know when he had finished thinking, suddenly jumped up and interjected, "'Apocalypse'?!"
Zach glanced at James speechlessly, "Central. James, focus a little. There are no social problems in the West like in the Central."
James sat down, hugged his shoulders and stopped talking as if he hated himself. Deserve it.
"Asamate." A word popped out of Nuo's mouth and he looked at Zach, "I believe this is my decision that I should stay away from you. There are thirteen surnames that appear in my memory that I also need to stay away from. one."
ha. A Zach-type thing happened~
Zach was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, closed it again, opened his mouth again, but did not speak. He looked at Nuo and blinked, "Are you sure, Assamite?"
"Do you want me to fight for it? amai..."
Zach raised his hand and interrupted, "Tell me what Quest wants you to do."
"He wanted me to go to the center and find out what his brother was doing in the center with that money and this Assamat."
Zach waved his hand again, "You don't have to go, I know what his brother is doing."
"Very good." Nuo was very direct, "Tell me, and then I can reply to Quest and end this commission."
Zach didn't think there was any room for whitewashing this matter, so, "His brother wanted to become a vampire. This is how the Assamite clan passed down their descendants. They used the resources of the human family to support and hide the descendants of vampires. That money , should be used to find a substitute for his younger brother who can take over his human identity and continue living as Quest's younger brother instead of him." Zach looked at Nuo, "I'm sorry, if the content of the contact between Quest and his younger brother is now He has begun to lose the details of his life, and there is a half chance that he is already a vampire of the Assamite clan. The person that Quest still thinks is his brother..." Zach didn't need to finish his sentence, it was enough to express his meaning by shaking his head.
Zach didn't finish his words, "The remaining half chance is that this matter is a bit strange. First, the flow of funds from Quest's brother actually flowed directly into an organization called Asamat. If the Asamat clan is so easy It is impossible for them to hide in the Federation for four centuries. Secondly, Quest’s younger brother does not represent the Quest family, and Assamat’s selection criteria seems to be somewhat biased.”
Nuo's mouth was slightly open and he didn't speak for a while. Before closing his mouth, he looked at James. Gee, that's quite a strange behavior.
What's even weirder is that James nodded in response to No's strange behavior, "Zach didn't lie to you. I'm sorry."
These are two humans whose lives have been invaded by vampires, seeking recognition.
Nuo lowered his head and was digesting. After standing for a while, he turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Zach stopped Nuo, "How are you going to reply to Quest?"
The truth is obviously impossible. Nuo turned around and answered, "I will go to the central government to find out which of the two situations you mentioned is true. Then I will make a decision."
"No." Zach was a little helpless, "You know how dangerous the central part is. And this time, I can't find you a bodyguard." The first reason is that these two people are no longer friends, and the second reason is that there are useful vampires in the central part now. Foreigners, haha, as you all know, are all under the control of the Sabbat.
Nuo frowned and said nothing.
Zach pursed his lips and said, "You can pretend to go to the central part and keep a low profile in Barton. I will figure this out." To be honest, it's not a bother. When Murphy comes back to Barton, just ask him directly. .
Nuo looked at Zach and couldn't tell what he was thinking from his expression.
Zach suddenly looked to the west again and frowned, "Another guest is here."
When Nuo got the chance, he left without saying a word.
Zach couldn't stop Nuo anymore and could only look at James, "Help me? You can't be willing to watch Nuo go to the middle of the country to take risks again, James Lance."
James stared at Zach, naturally hating that Zach knew him so well.
Okay, James also needs something to get out of his mind the progress of Vega's incident. James got up and left the office with the last question, "New guest? Who?!" He was greedy and didn't want to miss everything happening around Zach. For James, this is really a strange behavior~
Zach answered, "It's Mrs. Barton."
"Humph. You deserve it." James gave an indifferent look and went after Nuo.
Get it!
James thought Mrs. Barton was here to settle a score with Zach~ because she didn't want Grande to continue to pollute her life. Her friend Quinn turned into a monster, and her grandchildren fell into a bunch of weirdos. Now, Still staying at her home...
Zach watched James go out and sighed anthropomorphically. Zach, I have the same idea as James.
