Murphy's blood control learning must be faster than Zach's.
The blood in Grande's basement - the blood that Sires had sent to help Zach solve Frank's food problem, worked. Murphy directly used the method of gluttony to practice his blood control skills.
"Serys, would you like to practice together?" Zach made a suggestion that it is unclear whether it will be beneficial to the future.
Eli Toledo's secret of blood control was revealed to the Sabbat by Zack, remember. But unlike Zach's original intention of sharing, the Sabbat vampires were under the command of Lute Lesenbra, and not all vampires learned this ability to increase the vampire's chance of survival.
Therefore, Seres, who belongs to the Cappadocia clan (son of Nenad), does not know how to control blood. I'm afraid not even Nenad can.
The only reason Zach would make such an offer was because the way Murphy was practicing was using the fruits of Cyrus's labor.
"I... I will..." Sires also showed off his blood control skills in a schematic way.
Zach raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did you learn that??" He was really confused.
"Taught by Mokavi." Sires pursed his lips, probably remembering that the learning process was not a good one. "She absorbed the ability of the fake Toledo." Note that this is not blood control, but, "Having the power to completely block the perception of vampire blood, she expanded the application of this ability when she was bored and reinvented the blood control technique."
When Georgina was still alive, she said that blood control was a skill that all vampires could master, but the most suitable one was only for Eli Toledo's clan.
Zach didn't want to ask more about Mokawi. What he asked was, "Where is Nenad?" Did the 'son' teach the 'father'
"I told him how to control blood, but I don't know if he has practiced it." Siris frowned. "The Sabbat stipulates that only some second-generation vampires can learn to control blood. He said he is not qualified yet." .”
Yet another proof of Lute Lesembra's social supremacy in the Sabbat. Zach didn't want to ask any more questions.
Now, since he finally communicated with his employees after returning to Grande, Zach also realized that it was time to return to Grande's daily life.
The first thing is, "Do you know what old Hank went to do?"
"I don't know." Cyrus looked like he felt he had let Zach down. "While you were in Newton, he always used work to pay me off." For example, the phone call we received from Kate According to what I heard in the film, even though Old Hank knew that the media was not friendly to vampires, he still ordered Siris to monitor the West End funerals held by Ford Funeral in the cemetery. of employees contacted me.”
"Where's Bain?" Bain, as an informant on Zach's side among the employees in the living area, should also be one of those ostracized by Old Hank.
"He's okay. Old Hank has been nice to him and his family recently." Siris tilted his head, looking approving. It seemed that he felt that Old Hank was right to treat him differently.
This expression made Zach uncomfortable, "Do you think Old Hank is right to do this? Why did you give him an expression of approval?"
"Uh..." Sires was stunned for a moment. He had the consciousness that he was deliberately embarrassed by Old Hank because he belonged to Zach's side, but he did not think that this was unfair. "Bain is a human being after all, and he is not interested in Gran. De is also very loyal, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Old Hank doing this to me. Anyway, I’m a vampire, so I won’t do anything. If he does this to Bain, Bain might not be able to bear it.”
Zach had a little guess - this concept of separation of self and human existence in society was taught to Siris by Nainad. It's just that the way Nenad developed in the Sabbat is that vampires are naturally superior to humans. When it comes to Grande, it's just the vampires who are rejected by the human employees.
One essence appears in two different ways in two different places.
Now is not the time for vampires to accept being ostracized graciously. Zach is very serious, "Next time old Hank makes unreasonable requests to you, just refuse them." Of course Zach will not say anything that he hopes Bane will be ostracized as well. What he wants is to let Siris know that in the same working environment, the working conditions of all employees should be equal, "Let old Hank come to me directly."
We don’t know whether Cyrus understood what Zach meant. What we do know is that Cyrus regarded this as a special consideration from Zach, “Thank you.”
Zach stopped disturbing Siris' work... Yes, Zach left all the follow-up paperwork for the funeral to Sireth, and went to the employee living area.
Asking old Hank where he went continues, and at the same time, there is one more thing.
Just imagine, if Zach doesn't come back today, who will supervise this funeral that just ended? Sires? Bane? Oh, how could it be someone from Zach's side? They must be old Hank's guys.
During the funeral, due to the special nature of Indian funerals, Zach did not see any signs of taking charge among Grand employees, so let's find out now - who is Old Hank's favorite confidant among the employees.
Stepping into the living area, it was no longer enough to avoid Zach. This ex-criminal had already passed the stage of completely drawing a clear line between him and Zach. The master of Grande was still Zach, and old Hank could use his boredom quietly. He sent one of them back to prison with an excuse, and Zach was able to accomplish the same thing loudly (the incident of seriously injured reporters became social news under Zach's arrangement). They couldn't afford to offend him, so it couldn't be said that he was ignoring Zach.
When Zach entered, everyone bowed their heads and greeted the boss, and then did whatever they were supposed to do.
Zach pulled over a passing employee and asked him directly, "Hank is out, who of you is in charge?"
Maybe Zach got lucky and the answer he got was, "Me."
"You are..." Zac drew out his voice, meaning to let the other party fill in the name.
"You don't need to remember my name." The other party replied.
Zach was so moved. Finally, these employees understood that they didn't like to remember names.
The other party didn't seem to care about the insulting fact that his boss didn't know his name. He pointed to Zach at the roster hanging on the wall in the common area of the living area and said, "It's just my turn to take charge today."
Zach's attention was all on the roster, because Bane and Old Hank's names were actually on it.
It seems that Zach's goal of knowing who is Old Hank's right-hand man now is impossible to achieve, "Who came up with this roster?"
"Your sister."
"Alice?" Zach raised his eyebrows in relief. Alice obviously did what she should do as the future owner of Grande. She did not allow Old Hank to be downgraded from being in charge of the living area employees, and rotated with all employees equally. How do you declare your rights as a master? That's how it should be.
The other party nodded, "Do you have anything else to ask? If you don't have me, you still have to arrange the work in the tomb area."
Zach was about to wave and let people go, but wait a moment, "What other work is there in the cemetery?" The Indian funeral has ended, and the cemetery should return to normal maintenance work, which has a fixed shift schedule.
"The security guards just informed us that the Indians attending the funeral have not left and asked us to send more people to keep an eye on them."
Zach frowned, didn't ask any more questions, waved and let people go. Grab another person passing by, "Do you know where Hank went?"
... Everyone should have noticed that since Evan once used Old Hank's age to make malicious comments about Grande's future, the names of Old Hank in the living area no longer have this prefix.
Zach has always cooperated with this default address rule in the living area. No matter what Hank Sr. thinks of Zach, Hank Sr. is Grande's family.
Just like the employee above, he has completely accepted that his boss does not remember his name, and now the guy caught by Zach is not at all surprised that Zach does not know the whereabouts of his employees. This is not self-consciousness, but an attitude towards the world. These ex-convicts have a unique attitude in this society, "He went to take a commission."
"What?" Zach blinked and his expression became serious. The commission that Old Hank accepted was not a good thing.
"I'm not sure. In the morning, before you came back, he answered the phone, explained a few things and left."
"Then how do you know he is going to accept a commission?"
Zach was lucky. Anyone he caught happened to be the center of the problem. "He asked me to prepare the tools first."
Zach then looked at the other person and realized that this person did not participate in the funeral process. He should have been in Grande's living area to complete Old Hank's instructions, "What tools are ready?"
The other party pursed his lips and answered, "Cleaning supplies."
Zach could indeed smell a chemical smell from the other party, which was somewhat similar to the smell on Winston, the owner of Newton Border and the small motel.
Zach didn't let go for the time being, thinking about some things that might make people speechless -
First of all, we need to make sure that we all know that Old Hank’s commission is to work as a cleanup person in a black profession.
Someone committed a criminal act that could not be taken advantage of legally and could not afford to let the incident enter the judicial process based on law, so he entrusted the cleanup to a professional cleaning up site, making it impossible for the incident to enter the judicial process.
Let me use an example to explain it straightforwardly. Someone killed someone and blood was splattered on the ground. The person who cleaned up was the guy who washed the floor and hid the corpse.
It is clear what the nature of Old Hank's commission is and returns to what Zack is thinking about.
Ever since Grande was occupied by Zach, Old Hank rarely did his professional work. Speaking of commissions, Grandry, it’s not Old Hank’s turn to come forward yet.
Do you remember the dream demon Lip who was active for a period of time? He committed suicide in line with fantasy and reality. Mr. Green, in order to prevent his business, the South Side Sanitarium (now owned by Porky Quinn), from being taken over by the Barton family, entrusted the two brothers of Grande, Zach and Benjamin, to cover up the fact that the Green family had no heirs. fact.
This is telling everyone that as long as they enter the Grand incident, they will not encounter the old Hank who is in principle 'enjoying retirement life'. Zach would be in front.
Then think about the impact that 'commissioning' has had on Grande. Although Grande's transformation began at the beginning of last year, it relied on these external events that were outside the scope of the funeral industry to develop. However, this is all because of Zach. Zach’s own inhuman attributes have turned the commission of testing the bottom line of society into Grande’s advantage.
Don't praise Zach, the point here is to illustrate Grande's development process. In the future, Zach will not be here. So after the soul expansion incident, we also saw that Zach deliberately let go of the incident that flowed into Grande, allowing the retired old Hank to move around -
Pai Siying's soul expansion test failed, and the wizard entrusted Grande to clean up the site where the test failed. The cooperation between Zmich's messenger Craig and the police allowed Barton officials to dare to say that the city was safe before the soul expansion incident was over, remember. These are all incidents that Zach intentionally asked Old Hank to lead the staff in the living area to deal with.
Comply with the future development of Grande. The third generation of the West End who grew up with Alice, and the aliens in Barton, will rely on Grande to continue to influence the development of the city to the benefit of all parties.
But let’s be clear, Zach dared to let Old Hank handle these things because Zach knew that there was someone beside Old Hank! At least there was Evan, who was pursuing evil, and Logan, who didn't talk much and whose loyalty had drifted, but acted steadily. Is not it.
Look now, Evan is working as a... toy at Bishop Manor. In the western society, Logan works as an undercover agent for revenge as the mayor's secretary... Hey, speaking of Logan, Zach started to feel unhappy that Madison no longer shared the manuscript. But let’s not get sidetracked now.
There is no one around old Hank.
Even though Old Hank gave his employees an order to prepare cleaning supplies, the work was carried out. But judging from the fact that only Old Hank went out to accept the commission, let’s ask a question: When Old Hank officially executes the commission, will Old Hank take these employees with him
Won't.
Several employees have just been sent back to prison for once again touching the edge of legal permissibility. Old Hank dares to discuss the halfway house project in this way - the rhythm of public opinion led by Kate, remember: the hurtful actions of Grande employees The event should remove the prefix of Grande's staff and focus on the resources that are provided when the halfway house for community improvement projects is implemented in this society.
Let’s state it objectively: when they happened to be ex-criminals in the community rehabilitation project in Grande, these sensitive social discussion objects were still in the public eye, and these surviving employees were taken out to clean up the crime. on site
So why, combined with the attitude shown by Sires just now (vampires and humans are different) - why not just leave the matter to Zach when he comes back and ask him what he was doing when he went out. No matter what he does, it is more 'convenient' than humans. A vampire
Why doesn't old Hank continue to trouble Zach? Logically speaking, a commission that may have a negative impact on Grande should be left to Zach!
Yes, the flaw in Zach's idea is that finally, when Old Hank took some responsibility and took the initiative to do something for Grande's future, Zach felt why he was left out. (To be continued)
