"All these people, your employees~" Hannah looked at the employees who went to pick up Mr. Marvin's body under the arrangement of Old Hank, "Don't you even know who their boss is~"
Zach didn't respond. There was no need to explain his life to a pair of clients he had just met, right? Vertex 23S. Fastest update Zach still has work.
Now that we realize that we should treat Westerners and Bartons differently, we can deal with the remaining three funerals as well.
If everyone is planning to bury the deceased to buy some time, Zach can directly inform the remaining three customers who have not come yet of the calculation results.
Old Hank left the customer's contact information yesterday, including the phone number of the hotel and the hotel. Zach called and left a message. It was not good to directly mention Barton's soul alien ecology in the message, and asked the customer to call back directly after hearing the message.
In the best-case scenario, if customers don't come to Grande, Zach can just transfer the business away. But the Marvin brothers and sisters who are already here cannot be removed.
"What is life like in Barton?" Hannah seemed to be very interested in Zach. "Are people blind? Are they blind to the inhuman things happening around them? How could they be so stupid to miss that? Oh my god. ! They don’t think that humans are the only intelligent creatures in this world! Oh! My! God!”
Exactly, oh my god.
Zach just wanted to stay away from this Hannah.
"Hey brother! Help me stop Mr. Grande! Why is he avoiding me?"
"And why are you chasing him?!" This brother is from Zach's side.
"Dah~ Because he is avoiding me~" Duo replied matter-of-factly.
"Uh! Why do you care more about Barton's people! Our father is on the way here, our dead Earthbinder father! Why don't you care more about this!"
"Well, it's not like we have any unresolved matters that we need to worry about." Hannah said, "We don't have any inheritance or other things to discuss, right, brother, you won't rob my father's house with me. Bar."
"Oh my god Hannah..."
Zach has hid in Benjamin's warehouse, and Murphy is here.
If there wasn't anywhere else to go, Zach wouldn't have chosen this place to find peace and quiet.
Louise is at Bain's house in the living area, but Louise doesn't let Zach go. Why? Louise doesn't want Zach to be involved in Trisha's concerns about being a single mother. Because Zach is likely to aggravate Trisha's symptoms. Zach's attitude towards future generations is never worthy of being used as a role model, is it? Louise felt that Zach would unintentionally say something that would make Trisha completely lose hope in life... Okay, that's a bit exaggerated, but everyone understands.
"Beautiful girl." Murphy was talking about Hannah, who was torturing his brother in the backyard. "She's also very smart, just your type."
"She's not my type." Zach came to ask for silence, but, well, it was even more uncomfortable not to argue.
"Then you are obviously hers." Murphy looked at the girl in the backyard, holding a blood bottle he didn't know where he got in his hand, and took a sip from time to time.
Zach frowned, "Where did you get the human blood?" After returning to Barton from Murphy, because Benjamin was no longer here to protect her, she stopped going out to look for food.
"In your basement." Murphy raised the blood bottle in his hand, "Anyway, Sires finds a bunch of them every day, and you don't eat them." Murphy's expression looked a little... strange. It felt like she was drunk, and she was shaking her hands. Walking towards Zach, he said, "I think this is the blood labeled 'High Addict'. Do you think those drugs are still in this blood? Because I feel a little..." Murphy raised the other one. Hands, gently moved around in the air, paying attention to Murphy's tone of voice, "Floating~"
Zach frowned, looked at Murphy for a while, then clicked his tongue, took the blood bottle from Murphy's hand, and went to the open-air bathroom behind the warehouse to empty it. When he came back, "No, even if the drugs that make addicts high are mixed in, If it's in the blood, it won't have any effect on you. What you feel is the emotion in the blood."
Since his other hand was free, Murphy began to fiddle with the air with both hands, "This is impossible~ Assamat has no emotions~" His body began to sway with his hands, swaying.
"You don't have it, but there is it in the blood." Zach looked speechlessly at Murphy, who was treating himself like a seaweed. "This is why humans know that those medicines are bad and poisonous, but they still Reason for use. It blocks reason and amplifies emotion."
Murphy continued to shake, "Oh, so~this is what it feels like to be Seth~" Murphy closed his eyes and began to shake in circles. Well.
Zach couldn't stand it anymore. Sitting on Benjamin's bed, looking at the ceiling.
There's no need to stop Murphy from getting sick... or whatever the current situation is called. As you all know, the reason why we humans need three meals a day is because one meal can only last so long. Food will always be consumed. So, Murphy will be back to normal...
Zach was stunned for a moment, looking at his hand that was picked up by Murphy, "What are you going to do?"
"Dance with me~" Murphy gave Zach a smile. The truth, and the smile that shouldn’t appear on an Assamite’s face, “While I still feel this way~” Assamat, after all, is still Assamite, “This feeling will leave, right~ So~" Both hands held Zach's, "Dance with me~ while this feeling is still there~"
Zach... obeyed. Why? Don't ask me, ask Zach. Zach will say that if a woman invites you to dance with a smile, it's polite to say yes. Gee, what a convenient excuse.
Louise in the living area turned around, her sight blocked by the wall seemed to see something, and she frowned.
"Louise?" Trisha held Sean, who was sleeping peacefully, in her arms, with a tired look on her face, "Can you..."
"Okay." Louise came back to her senses, took Shane, and glanced at Trisha and Bain's wife. It fit the situation well. "I'll take the child out to get some fresh air."
Trisha nodded with a relaxed expression.
Louise carried Sean out. The mother exchange here is talking about some very serious topics, if you are curious
Bain's wife shared her concerns. She was worried that the environment her children were growing up in was not the environment a healthy child should be in. She was worried that Grande's employees would be a bad influence on her children's future. However, Bain's wife can't do anything about it because her husband, Bain, works here.
Saying this is intended to draw a comforting conclusion, so that Cui Sha will not have such troubles: If Cui Sha feels that her living environment is not suitable for the growth of her children, Cui Sha can decide to leave alone! The 'advantage' that only single mothers have is that the lives of mother and child will not be hindered by the husband's career. A willful and realistic conclusion.
Naturally, Trisha would then share her own concerns, such as being a single mother herself.
This is a topic that Trisha, as a mother, doesn't want to talk about in front of Sean even if she knows that the baby can't understand it.
So it was a very considerate act for Louise to carry Sean out.
Just after leaving Bain's house, Louise stood in front of the public patio on the second floor of the living area, looking in the direction of Benjamin's warehouse, and said to Sean, who was sleeping in her arms, "No matter where you are, I need you to stop your eternal father. Do something stupid! Now!"
The sleeping Sean 'spoke', and his voice sounded directly in Louise's head, "No, he will hate me for disturbing him and his ex-wife..."
"And your body is now in the arms of his current girlfriend. It's wise to take sides, little Sean!" Louise didn't mean to joke.
"..." After a brief silence, "I hate adults!"
storehouse.
With a twist, Zach's eyes turned away from the smile that was spinning under his arm, and looked at the blue baby floating in front of him, "I thought you didn't come." He retracted the hand that was holding Murphy's hand.
Murphy lost his fulcrum and turned away...
"I don't need to 'come', existence is my soul, I am everywhere."
"Zach, the dance isn't over yet..." Murphy, who stopped when he turned to the wall, looked at Zach with an aggrieved look.
Zach just ignored it. After all, he is a man. A woman's smile can bring a man closer, but a woman's grievances can only push men away. Looking at the blue baby, "How is your mother?"
"Still worried about all kinds of things." Shane walked around in front of Murphy, who was nestled against the wall aggrievedly, and returned to Zach, "I think my strategy is wrong, I should be like a normal baby Crying may make her have no time to think about how to take care of me, and she will only have to take care of me as a last resort."
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Do you have a strategy for dealing with your mother?"
"Yes." Normal babies only have three expressions: crying, laughing, and being dumb. Sean was feeling sad now, "You are my father, haven't you noticed? I haven't cried at all since I came in the morning."
Zach's answer was very unpleasant to Sean, "No one will pay attention to a child who doesn't cry." He waved his hand, "So your strategy is to make Trisha worry free."
There was irritation on Shan En's blue translucent face, "If my mother still worries like other mothers all day long, it would be... wrong."
"So you think you're special?" Zach said with obvious sarcasm.
"Am I not special?" Shan En also asked rhetorically.
"You were born by a human woman. Is there anything special about that?"
"I was designed by a god."
"Yes, so every ability in your body has been accurately calculated, special?"
"You really hate me."
Zach waved his hand, looking too lazy to continue.
"He doesn't hate you." The aggrieved Murphy said, "He hates the fact that he is forced to have children." He seemed to be really pitiful as he hugged his knees in the corner, "He hates me for forcing him to have children. He hates me." It was a beautiful life that was ruined by something he was willing to do. What he hated was... "
After hearing what Murphy said, Shane looked at Zach, "I think your ex-wife is broken."
Zach curled his lips and said, "It will pass." He continued to ignore Murphy, glanced at Sean, and took a deep breath, "I don't like being forced by Papa Midnight to have a hand in your birth. If you really want to Understand why I don’t meet your expectations of a ‘father’. I can tell you now because I never wanted to take the initiative to be your father. It’s just that it’s already the case, so you’d better understand who I am. Father’s teachings, otherwise, I will really hate you child.”
Shane was quiet for a while, "I'm still too young, I don't understand what these adults think."
"You will understand when you grow up." Zach is ready to leave the warehouse. It is obviously not suitable to stay here. If Murphy continues to be so emotional, Zach cannot guarantee whether the previous marital status will be restored: Want to kill each other.
When Zach went out.
Murphy spoke again, sad and hopelessly aggrieved, "Look, this is my husband. He is such a vampire. In the reality that the relationship between offspring and father is absolutely consensual, any father-son relationship with a trace of passivity will not be tolerated." Neither can accept it. This is how our marriage has turned into hell, and this is how my life has been destroyed..."
There is no need to listen to a complaining woman. Still a temporary resentful woman.
But I hope everyone realizes that the inheritance of vampires is not like any other creature, right? Vampire descendants are not passively born. The descendant standards in the clan exist for this kind of active choice by both parties.
The understanding from Zach's point of view is that he did not actively choose Shane, so Shane should be like a 'general', aware of his own position. He should learn the basics of survival from Zach, then walk away and leave Zach alone. Don’t count on the cultivation of father-son relationship.
As soon as she left the warehouse, Hannah walked up to Zach and said, "Can I ask you something? Mr. Grand~"
Zach didn't answer. Is the answer useful
"I made a bet with my brother before." The result has already happened. Remember, Hannah said that she won when receiving the reception in the reception room. "Did you know that there are two rumors circulating in the West? One is the Sabbat. Toledo is in Republic, and the other one is..."
Zach stared at Hannah. Maybe Zach was too handsome and Hannah was stunned.
"Hannah!" My brother ran over and stood in front of Hannah, taking the initiative to catch Zach's gaze.
Zach spoke, "Why are there rumors that Toledo is in the Republic?" Except for Root, no one in the Sabbat knew that Eli was in the Republic, let alone these western civilians.
"Because that Eli disappeared in the west and went all the way east, creating descendants and causing massacres, and finally arrived at Barton, and then there was no more news about him..." The brother nervously protected his sister and answered Zach.
Zach withdrew his gaze, "That was his impostor who was caught by me in Barton and sent to the Sabbat for punishment. Eli is dead, that's the end. That rumor is false."
"There is another rumor." Hannah forced her way out from behind her brother and looked at Zach, "The privatization of the funeral industry that the West is currently preparing is to take back Toledo." Hannah's tone became cautious, Zach's stare was very effective, "Toledo used to be very strange in the West. They were vampires, but they had no rights in any city. They could only support themselves as night radio buskers, vampires of the Sabbat." Never did anything to help Toledo. It's strange that the entire West would suddenly reform the funeral industry to meet the sudden disappearance of Toledo."
Zach had no expression and looked at Hannah, "Continue."
"My brother and I made a bet that the Toledo in this Grande is definitely not the Toledo we used to think of as Toledo." Hannah's caution expired, and she smiled again, "It's brand new and upgraded. Yes, Toledo, I won~"
"Stop seducing my ex!!"
There was such a sound from the warehouse...
