Zach is in the southeast, look for 'General'.
Perhaps being reminded by Thorin, Zach realized that there was a huge hole in the circulation of Toledo's blood, which was the Toledo of the 'General' series.
Let's put it this way, if vampire blood is measured in human money, it is very valuable, very valuable. The former Secret Alliance did not quantify this value, because as Thorin looked back on the past, when Toledo deliberately circulated vampire blood, it only used this value to allow other alien races to consume each other's survival resources in human society. The Secret Alliance He didn't care how much his blood was worth, it wasn't going into his pocket anyway. But the Sabbat has always had a clear quantitative standard for the value of vampire blood. The Sabbat sells it and humans buy it.
And 'General', well, 'General' had his own private purpose of revenge from the moment he became Toledo. The 'General' didn't have any vampire consciousness. Zach knew this, so he had no hope at all. He didn't even teach him Toledo's famous 'skill', the Charming Eye. It can be said that the 'general' is still a human being, and his values, behaviors, and ways of thinking are all human beings. It just happened that he had some vampire abilities and abused them.
This story begins when our vampire Zachary Grande encounters an economic crisis and begins a career transformation. But we know that Zach is there to support Grande's family, such as old Hank, such as Alice, such as Benjamin, who only sleeps and eats most of the month. Will a vampire need money? Ah.
A comparison will reveal the difference between 'General' and Zack. The 'General' will really need money, but not to support anyone, but to maintain the only gang in the southeast today (along with a demon Skull's skull), and to infiltrate and recruit Aix Security To deal with Mr. Falcon, we must continue to interact with Barton’s gray professionals...
To do human things, you need human currency.
Now after being reminded by Thorin, the Sabbat quantified the value of vampire blood, and the aliens who already had Newton began to think about buying vampire blood. Naturally, Zach began to worry that the 'general' would start to take advantage of the fact that he had never been questioned by Zach, the ancestor of the family, and start such a business with no capital and huge profits.
Outside the General's Rest Stop, Zach directly opened the door of the bar that was already open and took a look at the situation inside. Half and half between humans and vampires.
After noticing that Zach came in, most eyes were looking at Zach. The human bartender, who didn't know Zach, shouted, "No alcohol will be served before six o'clock (afternoon)." On the one hand, it is true. On the other hand, in fact, It is this kind of gang bar that reminds passers-by who accidentally walk in that this is not the place you should enter.
Zach ignored it. When he walked to the bar, he didn't sense the 'General's' aura, so he pointed at a fourth-generation vampire casually, "I want the drink he ordered."
The person at the bar was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the alleged vampire. The vampire nodded to the bartender, and then nodded to Zach. The difference between the two nods is that the former is ordering the human bartender to meet the customer's needs, while the latter is a respectful gesture. Then, the vampire stood up and said, "I'm going to find 'General'."
Zach didn't respond.
A simple interaction is enough to show that the humans here are all Toledo of the 'General' system who know the existence of vampires and are steadily expanding.
The 'drink' that Zach asked for was placed in front of Zach. Zach raised the glass and took a sip. It was human blood.
Several humans sat next to Zach, "Brother, what clan are you from?"
This straightforward conversation made Zach more certain that these people were the descendants that the 'General' would absorb in the future.
Zach turned his head and looked at the humans who asked questions, "Guess~"
"You are good-looking, so you must not be Novel. You are also dressed in such a handsome manner, and you are definitely not Gangelo. Moreover, your clothes are quite expensive, and you look like Kozier on Lister Street." The clothes in the store should be quite rich~" The person who guessed smiled and said, "I heard that the Rimmers in the Smith family and the Bishop family are quite rich, but they don't come from the southeast, um... You shouldn't be. You shouldn't be one of the vampires from the Sabbat."
Zach looked around and saw that the vampires in the bar were already winking at the humans. It was a pity that no one noticed. Zach actually doesn't mind that these humans have completely misguessed his identity, which means that the 'General' is very aware that he plays a very small role as Zach's 'son', and he doesn't even mention Zach as his 'father' at all. Bar."
"Oh." Several humans began to pay attention to their vampire companions. They did not understand the looks of those vampires, but they still began to disperse from Zach.
Zach was a little surprised. Before the human closest to him left, he called out, "Isn't the vampire of the Sabbat welcome here?"
The human being who was stopped gave Zach an awkward smile, didn't answer, and walked away.
That's fine, Zach is happy to be quiet. After continuing to sit for a while, the bartender changed, and he was replaced by a vampire. When refilling Zach's glass, "No other vampires usually come to our place. In theory, no other vampires are welcome here."
The dispersed group of humans were naturally paying attention to what was going on here.
Talking in the bar behind him, Zach didn't have any vigilance and wanted to listen casually, "This is good. I also hope that other vampires will not disturb you, and you will not take the initiative to provoke anyone."
The new bartender nodded, hesitated, and looked at the door, "Well..."
Zach looked at the other party's expression and said very thoughtfully, "I sensed that the 'General' will remind you." Zach saw that the other party might not want the 'General' to hear something he wanted to ask.
The bartender glanced at Zach gratefully and made a decision, "I want to ask you something. The 'General' said he had informed you, but we..." As he said this, he glanced at the other vampires in the bar. "We're not sure if the 'General' meant that to appease us, or if he actually told you."
"What are you informing me about?" Zach pretended to listen carefully.
"We know that the Kraken has been harassing our Barton coastline during this period." The bartender adjusted his mood and narrated, "Some time ago, it was the Port of Marsa that caused the collision of cargo ships in the Port of Marsa. After the accident, I went to Knoll Beach and was taught a lesson by that... uh, Shane, that's his name. Now, the Kraken has begun to enter Barton from the southeast." The bartender paused here and looked at Zach. reaction.
Zach's reaction...no. Zach looked like he was waiting for the other person to finish speaking before giving feedback.
"'General' said that our group of people are all resurrected by sea monsters after all, so let us ignore those sea monsters that landed from the southeast..." He paused again, looking at Zach's still listening face, and continued, "We know The Kraken will cause trouble in Barton City. Is it really okay for us to ignore the Kraken’s landing?”
Zach continued to wait for a while, making sure that the other party's narration was finished, then he stopped listening and said, "The 'General' didn't inform me of this." He raised his glass and drank a drink.
It’s not like he didn’t answer the question. The bartender looked a little nervous and quickly refilled Zach’s glass, “We guessed it…”
Zach tilted his head and glanced at the bartender, who looked like an honest guy, "But the 'General' is right, you people are indeed the resurrected sirens. If the 'General' doesn't let you ignore it, you see What will you do when the Kraken lands in the city?”
Both the bartender and the vampires in the bar had helpless expressions on their faces, "Probably for the sake of resurrection, I won't do anything to embarrass them, but we also know that the resurrection was done by the Siren at that time because he asked you for help. Deal. If we can really feel grateful, it should be that Devil Mike, who took back our souls."
These vampires have a clear mind and are not grateful for unnecessary things.
Zach expressed his appreciation with a nod, "Yes, this should be the reason why you are willing to actively cooperate with Skoll's skull."
"Yeah." The bartender nodded, and then his expression became strange again, "In the end, we killed Skoll and the others."
This should be about accidentally sending Skoll and the others to heaven. Zach only tilted his head, "I don't know whether it's harmful or not."
Things must be viewed at the current point in time. I would like to ask, after West leaves, will the division of heaven and hell still have meaning
Zach waved his hand, "The 'General' is back." The conversation with the bartender ended here. The bartender was also spiritual and waved back to the human bartender just now.
As soon as the 'General' entered the door, "Huh! Why are you here!"
The replaced human bartender has changed the way he looks at Zach. When Zach was chatting with the replacement bartender just now, they humans had already guessed Zach's true identity from the atmosphere of the conversation. Feeling a little nervous at this point, I poured the 'General' a glass of whiskey.
"I thought of something, let me tell you." Zach watched the 'General' sit down next to him, then picked up the whiskey and poured it into his mouth. After finishing the drink, he looked at the empty glass and looked at the bartender with a confused expression. , "What did you get me??" It seemed that the bartender was not the only one who was nervous.
The bartender looked at the empty glass in the 'general''s hand and then at the bottle under his own bar. He couldn't remember what he had just taken.
Zach watched the two guys staring at each other without saying a word, and pushed his cup to the 'general'.
The bartender shook his head and gave Zach another 'drink'.
Naturally, the 'General' would not dislike the cup that Zach had used. He raised it and drank it again. He rinsed it twice before swallowing it. He said to Zach again, "What did you tell me?!" with an indifferent attitude.
"You know the nightclub owned by Thorin in Rimmer."
"I know." The 'General' snorted, "Humph, we are fine here, there is no need to go to them." After all, bars and nightclubs are in conflict of utility. 'General' is understandable.
"They have only been open for two nights, and there are already cases of foreigners from other places trying to buy Torredo Blood."
The 'General's eyes lit up. If the 'General' didn't know that there was such a business opportunity with his own blood before Zack came... Now Zack is reminding him...
Of course, Zach saw the 'General's' eyes light up, "If you don't want me to be reduced to the point where I need to come to you for retirement, don't think about it."
'General' actually took a moment to react before he understood what Zach meant, "I won't support you!"
The reason why my father made Zach like this is...forget it, let's give Zach some face and let's not tell the truth.
On the other hand, 'General' skipped directly to the decision without asking why, which was quite reassuring.
As for the fall that Zach mentioned, it meant that if the 'General' privately set the price for Toledo's blood, it would definitely have a bad impact on Zach, who is considered a member of the Sabbat.
Just imagine, everyone. The price is too high. Root thinks Zach is ambitious and wants to punish him. The price was low, and Root was very happy that Zach, the ancestor of the clan, was practicing his own Toledo clan, so he continued to punish Zach as a matter of course. Isn't Zach about to end up seeking refuge with his 'son' who was left outside the Sabbat? Imagine the end.
Zach nodded, not caring, "That's good, you can transform the descendants, you can save the people you want to save, but you can't sell Toledo's blood." After saying that, Zach took it again The wine glass that had been emptied by the 'General' rested the finger with the thimble on the rim of the glass. A bunch of solidified blood was poured into the glass, and then the liquid was restored. "All my experience in using the Charming Eye." Zach pushed the glass back to 'General'.
The 'General' was stunned for a moment, and instinctively raised his hand to take it. In the middle of the action, he said, "I'm living a good life here without the Charming Eyes!"
"In the beginning, you were the only one, and my request to you is not to insult Toledo's surname. Now." Zach turned back and glanced at the entire bar, "My request to you now is still to not insult Toledo's surname. "That means, when 'General' is just an accidental product, don't 'insult' Toledo. And now, 'General', you want to continue to expand your pedigree, which is already an order of magnitude higher than Zach's orthodox Toledo pedigree, so please don't 'insult' the Toledo surname.
The 'General' frowned, seemed to be struggling to think about it for a while, raised his hand, and drank. Then his eyes turned white and red, as if they were about to explode at any time... Apparently Zach's Toledo life experience was a bit overwhelming.
Zach didn't have much to say. Let the 'general' get used to it for a while and prepare to leave.
"Wait a minute!" The 'General' pulled Zach and shook his head several times before his eyes stabilized. "Since you are here, I also have something to tell you."
Zach paused, "Go ahead."
"Recently, a Kraken has landed in Barton from the southeast. My brothers here have been indebted to the Kraken before. It's not easy to worry about anything. Hmm, you guys in the city should pay attention." After the 'General' finished speaking, he also He looked around his bar with a look like 'Look how much I'm thinking about you'.
No one dared look at 'The General'.
Zach answered quickly, "Okay, I get it, then let me remind you that Anthony and Benjamin may organize a team to deal with the Kraken recently. If you don't want to participate, say hello to Benjamin as soon as possible and don't be embarrassed then. "
"Hey! What..."
Zach is gone. (To be continued)
