The two people, both of whom Zach couldn't figure out their mental state for the time being, encountered an incident that Zach didn't know the follow-up development of. Zach really didn't know how to deal with the ongoing bickering in the restaurant. But Zach must deal with it. The Grande name is still on his back. Zach is the master of this house and it is his obligation to control the guests.
When Zach returned to the restaurant, Jason was shouting to Darcy, "Inferior creatures defined by reproduction!" It was very bad.
Darcy's counterattack, "An imbecile creature that has given up on reproduction!"
Zach stood in the middle, "As far as I can see, you two humans should not curse each other..."
The two moved past Zach and continued, "Low!"
"Idiot!"
Zach shook his head, grabbed Jason, and walked out of the restaurant. Zach needs Jason to calm down and return to the Jason that Zach is familiar with, "Jason, what's wrong with you? I don't know you like this, but why are you suddenly arguing with Blake, Old Hank, and Darcy? You clashed with everyone, what happened to you??”
Jason was stunned for a moment, actually, actually, cried... His eyes instantly turned red, and he ran towards the living area under Zach's helpless gaze, probably looking for Old Hank.
never mind. Zach returned to the restaurant, and Darcy was already adjusting her emotions. After all, the inheritor's life has been more stable than that of a young man who cannot control his own personal emotions.
Zach needs to understand Darcy's current mental state, especially after knowing the plan of Barton's superiors for the nightclub incident. Darcy's current attitude towards the nightclub incident based on the inheritance ethics must be discarded.
Jason had already set a wrong example. Zach was not going to directly confront Darcy. First, "Tell me what happened. Who attacked you."
Why is Darcy dying in his own home
Darcy did not answer directly, but glanced at the second floor, obviously asking for a place more suitable for formal discussion.
Zach agreed, and went upstairs with Darcy and sat down in the office. Darcy began to speak, "Last night at the nightclub, we (the police) arrested a lot of civilians who made trouble, except for people like Jason..." There was something in his eyes. With undisguised disdain, "There are still normal people."
Zach didn't want to provoke Darcy when it was obvious that he still maintained his prejudice, so he asked in a very neutral manner, "Were these people responsible for your attack? Was it like Jason? Or is it more normal?"
"None of them." Darcy shook his head and suddenly sighed, "It's the Kraken." He glanced at Zach and said, "Among the people arrested yesterday, there was a Kraken. I don't know if he got in during the chaos or whether They were already there, but they were all brought to the station by police officers who didn't know foreigners." Darcy waved his hand, "I can't possibly let the Siren stay in the police station." He looked a little irritated.
Last night, Louise put away the scales she pulled from Jason's skin and showed them to Zach. So Zach can feel Darcy's irritability. Darcy has already said once in front of Louise that the police in Barton have nothing to do with the Kraken, and now they just continue to prove this point.
Darcy shook his head, "I definitely won't keep those sea monsters in the bureau. So I thought I could let them go and make a deal with them." Barton's security guard was full of helplessness, "In exchange They shouldn’t cause trouble along the Barton coastline for a while.”
Zach roughly guessed the direction, "You let them go, but they immediately turned around and attacked you."
"Not right away." Darcy's face became a little gloomy. "They waited until I got home from get off work before they started." He said what he would only say if he was a police officer. "It was as if he was specifically telling me that they could easily attack me." My family attacked me, and I don’t deserve to make a deal with them!” Yes, Darcy was analyzing the siren’s motive for attacking him.
Zach had a different opinion. "You were fatally injured. When you first came here, there was no trauma, but you were hypothermic." The cyan skin was still wrapped in the blanket, wasn't it? I don’t think the sea monsters are attacking you to show any attitude, they want to kill you.”
Darcy waved his hand and rejected Zach, "You also said that I am a human being now. If they want to kill me, I will be dead." Darcy paused for a while, not looking at Zach, lowered his head, dull , "Hypothermia because they dragged me into the ocean and they wanted me to suffer."
Zach frowned, it didn't sound like he was trying to cause Darcy pain. We all know how a vampire will be tortured by a siren once he enters the water. Darcy is a human? pain? I'm afraid he should die immediately.
Darcy raised his head and looked at Zach, "They are hanging my life with the breath of life." As if to answer Zach's question, "So I know they are causing me pain."
Zach twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't question it any more.
This is actually a bit similar to the way vampires torture other creatures, hurting you and healing you at the same time, in an endless cycle.
"Detective..." Darcy's mouth twisted, and it was obvious that the correct name was forcibly stuck, so he changed his title to "Bell." He used a name that a Vega detective had decided on the spur of the moment, "When he came, it was The Kraken is getting tired of playing." 'Tired of playing'? This is not the level of self-deprecation, it is much deeper than self-deprecation, "when you threw me back home and prepared to give me the breath of life again."
Zach generally understood, "Bell just accidentally disturbed the Kraken's movements and left you there."
"Yes. So it can be inferred that the sea monsters don't care about me. No matter who is in the position of Barton Police Chief, they can easily do this again and show their power to Barton's human law enforcement agencies." Darcy Said without expression.
The top man in the Barton police force is drifting further and further away. No one needs him, no one cares about him.
Zach hesitated. As the representative of Barton's law enforcers, if Darcy already regards his personal position as something that can be replaced by anyone, it can only mean that this person has given up a lot of things, such as the Sabbat that threw him in this position.
Zach decided to give it a try. Anyway, if the incident in the nightclub was to develop according to the arrangements of the West End people, Darcy would also need to cooperate. Then, with some help, Darcy would be completely pushed away from the Sabbat. "I have a question. Bell is from Victoria." Jia, I’m not surprised that he knows vampires can save you. But why would he bring you to Grande for help instead of going to Allen Funeral.”
In fact, this question can be asked in more detail, such as how Bell knew the address of Grande. But Zach obviously wouldn't waste time on such details. Darcy was still unconscious when he was carried to the dining table. Darcy pointed the way. Well, although this question uses Bell as the subject, it actually asks why Darcy chose to come to Grand instead of going to the Sabbat vampire office where he should go.
Darcy was also a smart person and understood what Zach meant. He looked at Zach and sneered, "Don't you know, even the price of Cappadocia's blood has increased. I can't afford the blood of a Sabbat vampire." Own."
Although he knew that Darcy meant to mock the Sabbat vampires' hegemony over the rules of blood trading, Zach still wanted to ask, "Don't you blame me for increasing Cappadocia's worth?"
"It's not strange." He said directly, "I have nothing to blame. I am a successor and have no right to have opinions on vampire matters."
Zach was observing Darcy and could already see that Darcy had become alienated enough from the Sabbat. Continue to add support, "But please confirm that although I am also a member of the Sabbat vampires, I will definitely save you."
Darcy opened his mouth and glanced at Zach, with mixed emotions in his eyes, "Actually, I'm not sure. It's true that you saved many people with your blood for free in Barton, but..." Darcy shook his head. He nodded, "I'm not sure you will save me."
Zach knew that this was what Darcy was saying from the bottom of his heart. The boosting effect was good, so let's continue. Zach waved his hand, "Then you've confirmed it now." He motioned to Darcy, who was sitting opposite Wushang, "But I'm also curious, how can I use my own blood to save people for free based on my own preferences? How long does it last?”
These words can clearly show Zach's control over people's hearts. Please grasp the key point. Zach's saving people is his 'own preference' and will not last.
The meaning expressed by the key points: 1. Darcy, you are within my preference, Zach, someone cares about you, I, Zach, care about you, you are not something that can be replaced at will, I will save you. Second, my preference, Zach, will be terminated by the Sabbat. I, Zach, who cares about you, will no longer be able to care about you because of the Sabbat.
The previous situation where Toledo was unable to display his abilities due to the gathering of Jason, Darcy and the nightclub incident has passed. Now Zac can take down each of them one by one.
Toledo’s skill? Find a hole in people's hearts, get in, and stir things up.
Darcy lowered his head silently after hearing Zach's words and spent a long time thinking.
Zach waited patiently.
Darcy raised his head and looked at Zach, "I'm afraid the Sabbat won't give you a price for Toledo's blood until you officially go to the west to take over the funeral industry."
The effect was surprisingly good, Darcy thought more deeply than Zach expected.
"Oh why?"
"The price of blood will directly reflect Toledo's status among the Sabbat vampires. I don't need to be very smart to see that among the leaders of the Sabbat, Lutresembula doesn't want to give Toledo's status a position. "
Darcy's words were considered thoughtful. He didn't say whether Root would give Tori a high or low status. He just summed it up by not positioning him.
Zach didn't comment and asked why, just to make sure that Darcy was thinking more about Toledo. As for people's hearts, once one thing is picked out from a pile of things and considered separately, the emphasis is already determined. In this case, it was Darcy who had taken Toledo out of all the vampires in the Sabbat and considered Toledo alone. "Then I guess I need to enjoy the time I still have in Barton~" Zach smiled, observing Darcy's pursed lips.
The fish has taken the bait, and this is a typical 'I'm leaving, come and hold me, don't let me go' trick.
Zach could push forward a little, "Jason..." He deliberately said the name and then silenced it. Zach was not prepared to impose his own ideas on Darcy.
Darcy still did not hide his disdain after hearing Jason's name. He tilted his head and said, "We (the police) have known about the nightclub incident for a long time. They were just a group of drunken civilians who wanted to find some excitement. Go there There was just a riot in the nightclub." Darcy looked like he didn't care much. "There were no serious casualties. It was just that the nightclub facilities were damaged. It was just a boring fight. Every weekend, such entertainment venues One or two such incidents will happen. I don’t know what the lower creature (Jason) is excited about... "
"Blake Stone was almost beaten to death." Zach interrupted Darcy, "Jason brought Blake to Grande last night, and I saved him."
Darcy was stunned for a moment and frowned, "Blake? Was he really in that nightclub last night?!"
"Yes, and he really called the police." Zach could roughly guess from Darcy's words that the incident the police saw was a simple fight and had nothing to do with any hatred. The only thing worth worrying about is that the person who called the police is said to be Blake Stone. But Blake Stone was dragged to Grande early by Jason, wasn't he? The police had no chance to see the key point in this incident.
Zach also frowned. Now it seemed that Jason was indeed a little too sensitive. Just because Darcy said that he was also a suspect, he exploded. Little did they know that the suspect in Darcy's mouth was very objective. After all, in the eyes of the police, there is no confrontation between the victim and the perpetrator in a fight. Anyone involved in the incident is a suspect.
Darcy's eyebrows tightened. Sure enough, Jason was overthinking the prejudice brought about by Darcy's identity as the inheritor: "It's impossible. If Blake was involved, why didn't anyone show up today? Find the police station? The media? The city government? People from the West District? No one comes to see me?!"
Darcy really had no idea how the nightclub incident was planned during the West End Stones dinner.
Reorganize it. At the moment of the nightclub incident, Jackson, who thought Blake was dead, pulled out Blake's soul, so the incident reached the ears of the Bishop Manor immediately.
We also saw how 'Mr. Bishop' guided Blake at the banquet. Apparently the person who connected the events between the West End family and the North End city government was 'Mr. Bishop' who planned to become active in Barton and Newton again.
'Mr. Bishop' has gained 'prestige' in Barton's media with her current lifestyle. The news that Blake called the police could spread in the police station, but not in the media. I'm afraid it was under her control, deliberately. The channels through which police station information circulates externally have been cut off. It took a day to plan and launch the dinner at Stone Manor. With Blake as the protagonist, he completes everything about the re-emergence of the Bishop family, clearly.
Zach: "Because they have expectations for this." Zach looked at Darcy and could tell Darcy the arrangement of the West End people.
