on Monday.
The biggest event in the North End was James Lance's wedding. The biggest event on the South Side is a policeman's funeral. Darcy, the North District Police Chief who was intertwined in the two incidents, had a shift-like shift change with the two western guests in Grande when he arrived. Darcy came to the funeral and General Lance and Roy Zmich went to the wedding.
By the way, there are still a lot of things that haven’t been explained yesterday, right? Let’s do them one by one.
Let's start with Roy. After all, he is the tightest at the place we left yesterday. He is still waiting for Zach to explain West's situation to him.
After being hung up by Craig at the Sabbat, Zach didn't let Roy wait any longer, "Do you still want to know about the Holy Lord?"
"certainly!"
"What a shame, I decided not to tell you."
"What?" Roy looked confused.
"I said I wouldn't tell you."
Roy is not lucky enough to know the reason for Zach's sudden change of heart, but we can know-
Zach is re-evaluating Roy Zmich's value.
Saying this seems to objectify Roy, but I'm sorry, the current Roy Zmich is just an object, an object that can be used as a tool.
If Craig doesn't make this call, Zach will use Roy Zmich. We have also seen that Zach is already using misunderstandings to lead Roy onto a path that is in the interest of Zachary Toledo. Roy will be Zach's possession. I can guarantee everyone that Zach will dig out all the value in Roy, make the best use of it, and even abuse it. With what Roy Zmich did to Zach, Zach will Zack harmed Roy by benefiting himself at the expense of others, so what, no one said Zach was too much.
But Craig's call eventually came. Zach can't 'use' Roy anymore because Craig wants to.
Everyone should be clear about the difference between Zach and Craig using Roy: Zach uses Roy to cause trouble in the country of the Federation. This is easy to understand. Zach wants to use Roy to deal with the Sabbat who are still occupying it. Root Lesembula in the leadership position. And if Craig wants to use Roy, he will definitely not use it in the federal country, but return to his northern country.
Can't turn around for a while? It doesn't matter, I want to ask a question, is Roy Zmich useful in the Federation now
Zmich wanted status but no status, no resources, no resources, the weapons industry was divided up by the Sabbat, and the sideline medical experiments were held by Lute Lesembra. Roy had lost power and ran to Toledo to take refuge in embarrassment. He was in the Federation, so what use was he? No, this question should be more specific. Is it of any use to Craig, the messenger in charge of Zmixi in the North?
So on the surface, this is a difference between different regions where Roy is used, but in essence it is a difference between people who use Roy. Making things out of nothing and twisting the facts is Toledo's specialty. Zach can cause trouble, but the Zmich messenger has no time to get involved in these bad things in the Federation and the Sabbat. He still has the entire Zmish clan in the North to take care of.
Craig deliberately didn't explain to Zach why he needed to win over Roy, but Zach didn't really care about the explanation. Preserve the bloodline of the second generation Zmich from ancient times? Obtain federal weapons industry secrets for the North? Maybe it's even possible to use the civil war hatred that made Roy lose power to put pressure on the Zmich self-healing medical experiment in the hands of Root Lesembula to compete? …
It doesn't matter what it is, what's important is that Craig wants to use Roy's words, and Zach has no reason not to do it.
Therefore, Zach needs to re-evaluate Roy's value in Grandry. It no longer makes sense for Roy to continue to learn about Barton's god and allow him to move forward on the mission of Lute Lesembra.
So Zach unilaterally cut off Roy's hope of continuing to understand West, and instead said, "You also know that the ancestors and I are in the same group. You should understand that it is not only Frank from Lesembra, but also With your Bob, we are all the ancestors of the vampire clan of the Federation~ The call just now was made by Craig, you should have heard it, and I can tell you that this is not the first time they have contacted me. Go to the Grand Mortuary Basement Look, I kept two of the results of the Zmich medical experiment you revealed to Craig and Bob, Grandri. Go and see why Root Lesembra gave up on you."
Roy Zmich also deserves to be turned into an object that can only be used by others. It is too easy to be taken away from the rhythm. "What is there to see! I know why Root gave up on me! He saw it from the expansion of the soul of Zmich in the North Country." To better use Zimich's self-healing ability..." Don't be surprised. When talking to Zach before, he misunderstood so easily and filled up so many things in his mind. The pace of leading him is simply not what Zach wants. What operation.
Zach interrupted, "So, Lute, who personally dismantled your Zmich weapons industry, has no way to go to the North to obtain soul expansion. He can only seize the Zmich medical experimental research in his Sabbat, but you. "Zac deliberately put on a gloomy face, "But you, you are still related to obtaining the real soul expansion technology from the North Country, aren't you. You used Ban Lin to attack me on the day of voting in the Barton mayoral election."
Roy's face turned red for a moment. This has nothing to do with anthropomorphic emotions, it is just the result of vampire blood flow - at any time, Roy can have two more machine guns in his hands to shoot Zack who may suddenly retaliate.
Zach waved his hand, "Relax, if I had cared about this, I wouldn't have waited until now. I'm just reminding you that you know how Zimixi of the North Country used his own body to cultivate Ban Lin. You go and take a good look at Grandry's now." The corpses, those creations created in your brother’s medical experiments, are not in the same direction as Ban Lin in Zmixi in the North."
Zach saw that Roy had been shaken. Apparently Roy himself was aware of what Zach was talking about - it was all based on Zmich's self-healing ability. Zmich of the North Kingdom created Ban Lin, who could not follow the laws of the world, and successfully saved the attack method against vampires: soul expansion; but Zmich of the Sabbat created a creature that died of a violent illness but still had the physical characteristics of a vampire. , uh, flesh.
Zach added, "About 'jian', it means seal or identification in the Republic. As a god, it can identify the essence of things. It said that Grandry's body was a vampire. Frank and I Let's verify the identification results together." No matter what expression Roy made, Zach would no longer respond.
Finished talking about Roy. We say General Lance.
General Lance, who was rehearsing the wedding, returned to Grande in the evening. When he came back, his face was a little dark. It seemed that some emotions had been fermented on the way back.
As soon as he entered Grande, he went straight to Zach: "You! I thought you were a reasonable vampire, different from those in the west! Turns out, you are no different from them! It was you who taught that insidious reporter how to use his hands. The evidence threatens me!”
Don't worry, everyone, although the opening is extremely serious - it is obvious that Kate used the chips in her hand. But before it was Zach's turn to defend or control the situation, General Lance himself distorted the rhythm, "Does James love this woman? Did he marry this woman voluntarily? Or was it all you who manipulated my son?" !" It is worth mentioning that although General Lance used a very serious tone every time, he still maintained the posture of a superior human... Well, how to describe it...
Let’s compare—
We have seen James questioning Zach a lot. Most of the time, he stretched his neck, bursting his veins, and wanted to slap his livid face on Zach's face.
As for General Lance, he held his chest up, his head up, his abdomen in, and his hands behind his back. If he ignored the content of the question, he might regard this situation as a general educating a soldier.
But personal temperament cannot save this question that has gone sideways.
"What good will it do to me to let James marry a woman he doesn't love?" Zach asked sincerely.
"You're evading the most important thing!" Well, General Lance himself didn't even realize that he was the 'easiest person'. Zach just followed the question and said, "The point is the organ robbery evidence in Kate's hands! You didn't let my son Marrying a human woman! But my son married a man who can ruin the reputation of the Lance family!"
Zach said nothing and looked at General Lance, letting him react on his own.
It was up to General Lance to react on his own. He had already said the answer himself, hadn't he. James' love? Zach's manipulation? Is it important? What matters is James' marriage, a marriage to a piece of evidence. Did Zach need to say anything else
The general's temperament still plays a role. At least his non-condescending attitude makes this general much higher than the naive man who just wants to antagonize the other party.
General Lance left Zach and ran two laps in Grande's backyard - this soldier's style is still true. When he returned to Zach, he said, "What good will all this do to you, Toledo." It was not completely calm, but the physical exertion left General Lance with no time to modify his tone. He was panting. The question sounded surprisingly calm.
"Benefits?" Zach raised an eyebrow, "I'm going to ask you, General, what benefits can I get from being the ancestor of Toledo and gaining the support of the Lance family in the Sabbat. Isn't this General? Should you have told me?"
Some of the previous doubts should be solved - the Barton South District Police Department, which is controlled by the channel of the mill, actively believes that they are the meaning of the West Lance family.
Controlled by the Sabbat behind Allen's Funeral, or controlled by the Lance family, controlled by, oh, our Zachary Toledo! There is no need to elaborate on the difference.
No matter how good his personal qualities were, General Lance couldn't stand it anymore. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he looked a bit like James. "Is this your purpose? You acted as a subordinate of my Lance family in front of Barton's Southern District Police Station. A floor away, the Lance family continues to do what you were already doing—playing games with the South District Police Department?"
That's what I mean.
Zach nodded, then shook his head, "Yes and no. For the Southern District Police Department in Barton, you should go wherever you go after the wedding. I am still the person arranged by the Lance family to assist James in Barton. , nothing has changed. But." Zach looked at General Lance, "No matter where you go, you, the Lance family, are mine."
"Why? Based on the ridiculous misunderstanding of one of your Southern District Directors in Barton?"
"Yes, based on this ridiculous misunderstanding, anything I do to control the Southern District Police Department." Zach said with a smile on his face, "From the perspective of the Sabbat, it will be labeled as James Lance name. You, the Lance family, in the eyes of Lute Lesembra, have been bound to me, Toledo."
General Lance's cheek twitched and he said to himself, "That Cologne doesn't care about Allen Funeral Home at all, so he will only listen to you because he has no doubt that you are my subordinate. When the Sabbat passed through Ai When Lun Funeral tries to get the Southern District Police Department to achieve something, you can easily change the goals of the Southern District Police Department. And in the end, the person the Sabbat Party is pursuing is me and my surname, Lance."
This was a self-talk, and Zach didn't need to respond.
General Lance did not run around anymore. After finishing talking to himself, he stared at Zach for a while, "What do you want from me?" The temperament no longer existed. That's right. A human general is just a human general after all. What he is facing is a vampire.
"Now?" Zach was still a little disappointed after all. Kate was right. Some humans have really given up on human dignity. Do your best to save her. The result depends on the sky. "I want you to have a good rest and be energetic enough to bless your son's marriage tomorrow."
General Lance finished.
The unfinished business from yesterday is not over yet.
Around midnight, a person who Zach didn’t think would call Grande called again—No, “Your human police detective followers arrested half of our partygoers and took them to the police station, including 'General'. I have tried very hard to ignore your existence, but you continue to have an impact on my life. Vampire, my tolerance is limited."
The cross-racial friendship that once understood each other has reached this point because Toledo has a charming eye to protect the other party, which is quite embarrassing.
But in fact, this is Zach's purpose - to let Wes take James to Bobo's Bar to have a bachelor party, here it is.
James was too predictable, and his childish personality meant that he would not tolerate a group of gray professionals exchanging information under his nose.
As for the significance of James still not forgetting his duties as a police detective and arresting a group of gray professionals on the eve of his wedding, it is impossible to explain the ultimatum-style phone call from No to express his tolerance limit. Let us go back to Until today.
Director Darcy who attended the funeral: "I have released 'General', and I must keep the others in custody for four hours according to the procedure."
"No one questions why 'The General' was released early?"
"How could it not be possible? Don't you know about those gray professionals of yours? There are quite a few lawyers!" Darcy could tell from the look on his face that he had not slept all night.
"You'd better be careful. Some of your lawyers are now members of the Bishop Group (previously Bishop reorganized the legal team), so don't offend." Is Zach reminding Darcy? That's right.
"I know." Darcy waved his hands, irritated, "As if I don't have enough things on my hands right now! A bunch of big shots from the West came to attend a wedding, but here I am attending this damn funeral! There are also people from the West Inheriter... Forget it, you don't want to hear this either! This James even messed with me from the West End! This guy really made me..." Darcy punched the air.
Zach stopped answering and looked at the coffin that was being transported to the church. "The family members sent the police badge in front of the deceased, which was meant to be placed on the chest of the body during the farewell ceremony to show his identity." Zach put the coffin wrapped in plastic The police badge in the bag was handed to Darcy, "I think it's better for you to put it in. It has a stronger sense of ceremony."
Darcy shook it as if in a fugue and took it.
What happens next... Let's just say it -
The dead spirits on the body will haunt Darcy who goes to complete the ritual. Then Darcy learned from the undead that James already knew about the trap Darcy had set for the inheritance dispute, which led to the death of the police detective. Then Darcy realized that James was trying to punish him as the director. James threatened Darcy with the funeral by not investigating a case for which the truth had been known for a long time. While we feel sorry for Zach not being able to go to the wedding, let's sympathize a little with Darcy, just a little bit.
What does it mean that James will capture the gray professionals
It's quite childish and very effective, isn't it? How could James express his dissatisfaction with Darcy after he was unable to hold accountable the death of a police detective? Oh, get a vampire, get some people Darcy can't offend, and go to the police station to have tea.
Zach deliberately suggested Bobo Bar to Wes, making James more and more disliked by Darcy.
So, what can Zach, who contributed to this situation, gain
Please follow General Lance's 'epiphany' - the more the North District Police Department represented by Darcy hates James, the more obvious the South District Police Department's stance in favor of James will be. It's just as simple as one trades off the other~
When Zach wants to achieve something, Zach will do his best.
No one thinks that Toledo was once surrounded and suppressed by the Secret Alliance, probably because Toledo is a very Buddhist clan. Toledo is not Buddhist at all, it is destructive. From the continent's seizure of the human class to become aristocrats, to all the alien separatist events in the continent after the Thirteen Clans, history is proving the badness of this bloodline.
