It was a brand new morning, because it rained lightly in the middle of the night, and the air was so fresh that Zach couldn't help but take a few breaths, "There is the sweetness of blood in the air~"
This was said to old Hank. It was not Zach who caused trouble intentionally. It was true. There was the smell of blood in the air of Grande, and it did not come from Grande's basement, but from the living area. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
Instead of waiting for Old Hank's awkward opening remarks, it would be better for Zach to draw the hatred himself, "Did you prepare breakfast for me?"
Old Hank wrinkled his face like a rag and said nothing, motioning for Zach to follow him.
Zach was very obedient and followed Old Hank into the living area, where he enjoyed a rare welcome from the employees. Normally, Zach would be avoided when he came in.
Zach saw Bain and his wife in the crowd. Looking at their faces, Zach was mentally prepared.
Go to the basement of the living area with Old Hank. Those who remember the layout of the living area should know that this is the laundry room of the living area, where the typical bad guy Evan once worked.
Zach saw the source of the smell of fresh blood, two strangers who he feared did not even know their mother, lying dying in the corner.
Zach came closer, and two pairs of eyes that had given up on survival looked at Zach in the blood, without any reaction.
Zach squatted down, rummaged through the two people's tattered clothes, and took out two work ID cards, "Reporters from Barton Daily." Looking back at Old Hank, "Our employees seriously injured two media workers."
This is a statement, used to explain the current facts, but in fact, it is a question. What happened in Grande's living area while Zach was enjoying his sleep can be explained.
Old Hank began to explain:
"Evan called in the early hours of the morning."
Oh, luckily Zach was mentally prepared.
"He told those people (Grand employees) that what you fear most is being exposed by the media, and what those reporters want most is to expose you."
Zach smiled, keeping up the good mood of the fresh morning air. Facial management, learn a little bit.
"Then the fool who was instigated by Evan sneaked out to negotiate terms with the reporters. They paid the reporters to help them photograph you!" Old Hank glanced at the two reporters on the ground, and the result was already here, so there was no need to finish.
Zach also looked back at the two reporters, "How much are you willing to pay to photograph me?"
The quiet time was a bit long, mainly because the two people lying on the ground needed time to store up the energy to speak.
"We don't just want to photograph you. What we want to photograph is you and Louise together."
Please include the sentences for those who were seriously injured. It is very rare to be able to express this completely.
Zach was quite satisfied with this answer, "Do you want to extend the previous report about Louise being the secret lover of Detective James Lance? Continue to gossip about my relationship with Louise?" What can be said, Professional media practitioners~
When he no longer had the energy to speak, only one person on the other side closed his eyes and nodded instead.
Zach looked at Old Hank, "So this kind of rip-off behavior fell apart?" Louise was not in Grande, right? "So the reporter who was unwilling to trade was dragged to Grande and beaten. Is that so?" This is a progressive parallel question, what does it mean? Old Hank was embarrassed, "So, you waited for me to wake up outside my bedroom early in the morning and asked me to clean up this mess?"
"Hmph! You can leave it alone!" Old Hank became angry with embarrassment.
"Okay." Zach stood up and walked towards the stairs, "Then I don't care."
!
… Zach was not kidding, he really didn’t want to wipe the butts of these ex-criminals in the living area anymore. Tsk, it’s not because Zach couldn’t be thanked for such a boring reason. But it is becoming more and more obvious that this group of people is not under control. Society has been kind enough to give them a chance to start over, but they don't appreciate it.
Old Hank didn't expect Zach to be so straightforward. He followed Zach for two steps anxiously, and when he was about to reach out to hold Zach, his hand stopped in mid-air.
Zach naturally paid attention to Old Hank's outstretched hand, and had no intention of hiding. Anyway, it was impossible for Old Hank to hold him back due to Old Hank's strength. But after realizing that Old Hank's movements had stopped and that he was getting further and further away from him as he continued to move forward, Zach... softened his heart. After all, Old Hank was family. This old man may have done some unkind things, but after all, he was a family member who provided a place for Zach and Benjamin. "Grand can still afford the medical compensation for one or two people. Even if there is a lawsuit, I can still afford it." Connections and resources can help, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
Zach's soft-heartedness can only go so far, and it also reminds old Hank that Zach is the master of Grande, not just because he is a vampire, but because he is everything Grande represents.
Before Zach left, Old Hank said, "Call the police!" He agreed with Zach that this matter should be handled in a true Grande way.
Zach shrugged his shoulders and left the living area.
After meeting Bain's family again, Zach signaled, and Bain followed Zach out of the living area.
By chance, Alice and Maya were finishing breakfast and preparing to take Little Pink to school.
Alice was still more concerned about what happened in Grande, "What's going on over there?"
"Our employees injured two reporters." Zach said directly. He glanced at Bain and informed her, "Old Hank and I decided not to use alien methods to solve the incident." Looking back at Alice, he helped her Silk opened the door and said, "I want to take this opportunity to clean up the ill will of the staff in the living area towards our side (the backyard is the dividing line, the opposite side of the staff living area and the Grande living area). If there is nothing wrong with the school, you can come early." Come back." Because "the employees who stay after this are worthy of being your future Grande employees."
Alice nodded, this was similar to a parent preparing his children to take over the family business. Maya, on the other hand, simply rolled her eyes, "No time! The club needs training! Teacher Trisha from Parker Elementary School also needs to..."
"Maya!" Alice has become accustomed to stopping Maya when she talks about the train. "This is my future career! If you don't accompany me, I will come back first!"
"Oh, what are you in a hurry? I'm just saying..." He didn't forget to give Zach another look before getting in the car.
Zach ignored it, patted the roof of the car, and watched the girl leave.
Instructing Bain to enter the Grand with him directly, Zach spoke on the stairs, "Finally, I can fulfill my promise to your family."
I don’t know if you still remember, but after learning about Zach’s true race, Bain faced a difficult decision whether to tell the truth about Grande to his family who lived here with him.
Later, Bain stayed in Grande without any action. For a person who had to bear the burden of the entire family, the reason why he still put his family in Grande's unconventional environment was the alien factor. Abandoned by this family man, the promise he asked Zach was: "Instead of not knowing where the aliens will appear from other places and affect my family's life, why not stay here in the center, at least I can confirm that you will Protect Grande, you are really doing good for Grande! So I’m afraid there is no safer place in the world than Grande to settle down! Then, the only problem my family faces is the environment of Grande employees! I Being able to bear the secret of being a Grand master is not a secret for ordinary humans, but I can’t bear for my children to grow up in a pile of social dregs!” The promise was, “Mr. Zachary Grande! You must eliminate the Grande employees. Ingredients! Some people really don’t deserve to be released from prison!”
Very wise man.
A little insignificant addition, when Bain asked Zach for this promise, Evan was still there, and that 'someone' clearly meant something. After getting Evan away, Zach didn't think his promise was fulfilled, not now.
Zach seemed to be in a really good mood, "Have you compiled a list of those who usually cause trouble?"
Bain nodded, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zack. Zach opened it and took a look. On the list were several names that Zach had no memory of at all. "Is the guy who hit someone this time also on this list?"
"There are two of them here!" Bain entered the office and sat down at Zach's signal. "xx, xx" reported the two names. "The one who started, the other guys who hit people..." Bain frowned. Xia Mei said, "It's just that I was unlucky enough to be coerced. They didn't want to. They just didn't dare to say it."
The smile on Zach's face became more obvious, and he started to call the police. At the same time, he continued to ask Bain, "Did you witness the whole process?"
"Yes!" Bain nodded, "It happened to be that the child woke up in the early morning, and I got up to comfort him!" He frowned suddenly and digressed, "Zach, I think my child has... problems, so I just said this. Don't cry, he really won't cry anymore."
Zach is a question that cannot be answered. I remember that time when Bain's child was sick, several adults also wondered about the child's overly well-behaved problem.
The call was connected, Zach announced his identity, briefly talked about the situation here and then added, "Please let the ambulance come with us."
The policeman on the line asked, "Grand?"
"Yes, Grande." He hung up and continued to ask Bain, "After the police arrive, can you fully explain what happened?"
"I can!" Bain was sure.
Zach was very satisfied and looked back at the list in his hand, "This time it's about xx and owner xx. How about the other people who participated in the beating?"
Bain's expression became serious, which meant that he was seriously considering his words, "A few other people are actually quite good." For the sake of objectivity, "Well, it's not that they're good, they just don't want to cause trouble. Evan used to be here When they were there, they deliberately made trouble for the people on your side, and they also hid behind and pretended. Today's incident was purely due to their unlucky fate, and they bumped into each other and were forced to do it by the person in charge."
"But after all, we took action." Zach glanced at Bain, "You don't have to defend them when you talk to the police. If they want to defend themselves, let them expose each other in front of the police."
"Okay!" Bain agreed without any burden.
Zach continued to read the remaining names on the list, "Where are these people? They didn't commit any crime this time." He glanced at Bain with a pityful smile, "They will know you are a traitor in the future~ I'm afraid It’s you who’s having a hard time.”
"I'm not afraid of this, and I don't expect to be able to get rid of all these guys at once." Bain waved his hand, "After what happened this time, they shouldn't dare to be so arrogant. I'll keep an eye on it." After a pause, He looked at Zach hesitantly, "Do you remember the person who was sent to jail last time because he had a conversation with you in the backyard when Old Hank was not around?"
"I remember." He remembered it, but Zach didn't remember his name at all.
Bain pursed his lips, "Actually, there are many smart employees in the living area, and it's not just that one who thinks you have a 'problem'..." The reason for Bain's hesitation was that he was just like this. He was just a part-time employee in the funeral industry. Working people and their whole families came to Grande to surrender. Didn’t they just rely on their usual observations and feel that Grande is not just a funeral industry
But unlike Bain, Bain once noticed that Grande was related to the powerful figures in Barton. Now Grande's employees, knowing that Grande's 'side business' is a gray business, are aware of it. It's Grande's resources, all of which lie with Zachary Grande.
Continuing, Bain pointed to the list, "... there are a few people here, uh." With a helpless face, "The character is really scum, but I feel that if you are willing to open an opening and let them get close to you, they may It’s the second and third Logan.”
What Bain wants to express is probably Logan's attitude towards his human life. He knows that his human life will not have any hope, improvement, achievement...however you interpret it, so he wants to start over with the life of a foreign race.
Zach could understand what Bain meant, but he was helpless that Bain would think such a thing. He looked at Bain and said, "Do you want there to be more aliens with scum in this world?"
Bain curled his lips and said, "I don't want to."
"Then don't think about their future so thoughtfully." Zach smiled helplessly, "Besides, Logan's character is not bad, he is just boring."
Bain was shocked to realize that his analogy was flawed, "Oh, I didn't mean to say anything bad about Logan, he is pretty good!"
Zach waved his hand and got to the point, "Get ready. The police should be here soon. Old Hank didn't reveal our decision. There will be a lot of chaos in the living area by then."
Can you imagine what ex-criminal employees who were betrayed by their bosses would do when the police burst into their living quarters
Bain was stunned for a moment, jumped up from his seat, and rushed out of the office.
There is no doubt that he went home and told his wife to lock the doors and windows.
Zach, behind the office window, looking at the living area that is quite peaceful now...
The living quarters are not peaceful. Zach could hear the sounds inside. Some people wanted to stop Bain who was returning home and asked him what he had said to Zach. Some people were harassing old Hank and asked if he asked Zach to give it to the doctor brother (Germany) who came to Zach just now. Rick) was on the phone; someone was calling Evan, cursing the 'bitch' who was no longer in Grande for hurting them...
Zach exhaled the waste gas accumulated in his chest and officially started the new day.
