"Please tell me you said yes."
James said this to Zach.
Zach looked out the window at the buildings along the road. Benjamin has really grown up, hasn't he? Zach has completely fallen into Benjamin's scheme.
Starting from the food in the morning, to clothes, to the 'accidental encounter' between the four of them on the street. What a clever trap this is~ Someone who doesn’t know everything about Zach wouldn’t be able to pull off such a subtle trap~
And Zach is now at the bottom of this trap.
Southeast has arrived. Zach got out of the car and entered the General's bar. Most of the people in the bar knew Zach, and a glass of red liquid was handed to Zach.
"Soda!" James stared at the person behind the bar and ordered his own order.
Detective James Lance is also 'popular' here, and the people in the bar became quiet after a brief whisper.
As Zach emptied his drink and the glass was refilled, 'The General' came out from behind the bar, accompanied by another man. Yes.
Relax, Nuo is no longer part of Benjamin's trap, because he said goodbye to the 'General' directly when he saw Zach, "I'll come back to you next time when no one disturbs me."
"Yes." The 'General' nodded, glanced at Zach, and sent Nuo out.
When the 'General' came back, "Benjamin was standing outside." The tone was not good, "Can you let him go? His smell is uncomfortable."
Zach's answer, "I can bear it, you are all my descendants, you can also bear it." He didn't mean to help anyone, he just stated the facts.
The 'General' gave up the request, "Detective Lance." He didn't say it in a good tone, "We are all law-abiding citizens here, stay safe."
The yin and yang is a must. Remember what James did at the farewell bachelor party at Bobo Bar before the wedding? Haha, he arrested a bunch of gray professionals and brought them into the police station!
James didn't look at 'General' at all, "Then you have nothing to worry about, right." He replied.
'General' rubbed his teeth, deliberately. When James instinctively clenched his soda, he looked back at Zach and said, "Why are you here again? It's not like you have another Toledo trick you want to teach me!" Zach said last time. Come on, don't forget to give the Charming Eye to the 'General'.
Zach shook his head, "I have nothing more to teach you." This is a fact. General has been practicing the image ability since he first became a vampire. Now Zach has figured out the way to use the image ability step by step. Yes, 'General' will not fumble less than Zach. Don't even think about the professional attributes of 'General'. He needs to manipulate his image more than Zach!
"Then what are you here for?" The 'General' was a little impatient, which is normal. Everyone saw it just now. Zach's appearance obviously disturbed his meeting with Nuo.
Zach emptied his glass again and motioned to his grandson behind the bar to refill it. This is using actions to tell the 'general' what he is here to do. Just for fun.
"Tsk!" The 'General' became impatient, "Then you can drink." After saying that, he left Zach's side and signaled to his own men that he wanted to leave the bar.
"Why is Nuo here with you?"
That's not what Zach asked. Zach is self-aware and will not interfere in areas where he is not welcome. But for James, hey~ he likes to interfere in areas where he is not popular! The quality of the police detective is causing trouble. When two gray professionals come together, the police detective must ask clearly!
"It's none of your business." 'General' replied simply.
James was even more straightforward. He swung his coat and slapped his police badge on the bar, "Whether it's none of my business or not remains to be heard."
Zach glanced at James and said coldly, "James, I'm in a bad mood. Don't expect me to protect you." It was quite straightforward.
James's face twitched, "No need!" After saying that, he slapped something on the bar.
Zach frowned and moved a little farther away from James, because the new thing James photographed on the bar was a gun. The gun is not the point, the point is the bullets James then took out, and then started changing bullets on Toledo's territory, the 'General's' bar!
Ordinary bullets are replaced with silver bullets.
'General' was naturally the first to react, "Are you looking for death, Detective Lance."
James did not stop changing bullets, "Yeah, everyone won't live long anyway, if Zach doesn't agree to Benjamin."
I couldn't believe that James brought the topic to Zach at this time.
Zach continued to stay away from James, while walking towards the back with a cup, "Leave me alone." He raised the cup and signaled, "Treat me as if I don't exist." He sat in the far corner of the bar.
The 'General' was confused for a moment. He looked at Zach who really thought he didn't exist, and then looked at James who was still changing bullets. "What did you promise?"
"Benjamin and Mokawi have a child. Two guys who don't know how to discipline their children and don't know what their children are, asked Zach to be their child's godfather, but Zach hasn't agreed yet." James He was a professional. All the bullets had been replaced. He held it in his hand and turned the gun around. "Understood, we are all going to die, just like the civilians slaughtered by Andrew at the carnival."
As those of us who have watched James' changes in mood all the way, let's not complain about James' excessive negativity. Don't ignore that James is now married and in a new stage of life. Some problems are bound to ferment in this man who hastily entered the new stage. Take the issue of children, for example. Let's take a closer look. Do you think James has the confidence to educate his own children well? After all, children are something he must consider at this stage of his life.
So this is not about being too negative, it is about complaining about life. Then in this environment that made James uncomfortable, the Bar of the Descendants of Toledo showed it in an extreme way. Some of James' childishness is so deep into his bones that he may never be able to change it.
"What?" 'General' was startled, turned around and ran to Zach, "He said..."
Zach raised his glass and suppressed the 'General's' question with his volume, "I'm not here."
'General' returned to James and looked him over, "Tsk! If you want to get mad, don't get mad here! Go to Grande! Take him back to Grande!" means 'doesn't exist' of Zach. The 'general''s attitude was very clear, he didn't want to get involved in these bloody things.
James glanced gloomily in Zach's direction, then looked back at the 'General', "You are his descendant. If you ask him to promise Benjamin, I will not ask why you and Nuo met." The detective's logic was still clear. of. But this sentence is not credible. James cannot give up asking why No is here.
"Me?" 'General' seemed suddenly amused, "Ha, haha!" 'General' pointed to Zach and then to himself, "Do you expect me to endorse this guy (Zach)'s educational philosophy for the next generation? ??”
Well.
James himself felt stupid, but he dug this hole himself. He looked at the 'General' and said, "Then you have to answer why Nuo is here."
"I...*!" the 'General' swore, and remained silent for a while angrily without replying, "It's not anything illegal anyway! If you really want to know, go ask Nuo! Anyway, you are quite familiar with him. Isn't it!" Then, the 'General' once again expressed his attitude that he didn't want to get involved in everything, "You want to stay here? Whatever! I won't accompany you anymore!" He no longer paid attention to any threats from James, who anyway Not daring to actually shoot, he led the people out of the bar, "Child??!" He said to Benjamin standing outside, "Looking for Zach to teach?? This one joke is really enough for my eternal life!" No. Sound.
Zach fell again in the Benjamin Trap.
What else could there be? Zach began to look forward to what other wonderful things Benjamin would allow him to experience.
This is different from being involved in Indian cultural issues before being set up by Sibella. After all, Zach is not a party to the Indian culture. He can detach himself as an objective bystander and absorb opinions from all sides. Zach listened very carefully to Necromancer Levin's remarks on the law enforcer's position, didn't he
This time, Zach can't escape, and Zach is the person involved. Toledo, who is good at using others and manipulating events, finally experienced the feeling of being led as a puppet by others. It's so cool.
With the expectation of continuing to have a good time, Zach sat at the General's bar all afternoon.
James had already left, and Zach had a group of grandchildren with mixed emotions waiting on him, but James didn't. Soda water was not a stocked product in this bar. James left when he couldn't stay any longer, taking Wes with him.
Benjamin also left early. Before leaving, he said, "I'll wait for you at home, brother."
The more obvious the temptation was, the less Zach wanted to take the bait so easily. A few hours after Benjamin left, he emptied the glass of food again and left the bar. Walk back to Grande.
Under the cover of night, Zach was already at the gate of Grande, unable to lift his legs to enter.
Father Dance ran out of Grande with a look of panic on his face, holding a document with federal legal effect in his hand, "Benjamin, Benjamin and Mokawi got married!! I, I officiated!! I was the one who got married. Father!!”
Yes, there's a wedding reception going on in Grandry. The newcomers are Alpha, Lord of Barton, and the ancestor of the Mokavi clan!
As for Zach, during the few hours he wasted in the 'General' bar, Benjamin turned the Grande Funeral Home into his own wedding reception! !
Zack continues to fall in Benjamin's trap.
"My brother!" Benjamin's voice rang out, and he also appeared in Zach's field of vision, holding up a glass. "The only one who could stand up when the priest asked, 'Is there anyone who objects to this marriage?' He was late. Yes!" Benjamin said with a smile, so...
The guests in the courtyard, people of different races, some known to Zach and some unknown to Zach, all raised their glasses and laughed.
This is the joke that will be remembered at the wedding, isn't it~
Zack, who is late, is, well, the joke himself.
Zach turned around and walked away from his home!
"Party time!" Benjamin shouted, ignoring Zach who ran away from home.
where to
Where do we go when we have a serious conflict with our family? Usually the presence of neighbors will be strong at this time.
But for Zach, Pochquin couldn't save Zach at this time. Zach had just seen the Poch family toasting with Benjamin.
Why.
The vampire under the night was in a daze on Route 27 for a while, and then walked towards the North District again.
Before entering the Upper North Side (Anthony’s home), where Patton’s political figures gathered, Zach found a public phone.
Anthony may not be at home, as everyone knows, he may be at Ethela's place. Or worse, Ethera is at Anthony's house. Zach didn't want to intrude on anything.
The call went through, and as expected, Anthony wouldn't refuse to answer Grande's phone, "Who is it?"
"Me." Zach responded quickly, "Don't hang up the phone, Anthony, Benjamin is married..."
Before Zach could finish his words, an irritated tone came from the receiver, "Don't complain about my gift. You only gave me an hour's notice. What can I prepare..."
When Anthony started to whine, Zach stayed quiet with his mouth open.
"You're already very sincere by asking Aisela to pick out the most expensive thing, okay? Just return it if you don't like it! I don't care!"
After Anthony finished complaining, he realized that Zach was very quiet, "Hello? Where is the person?!"
"I'm here."
Anthony didn't seem to understand what Zach was going through, "Is there anything else?"
"nothing."
Have you heard Anthony’s objection to Benjamin and Mokave’s marriage? No, just complaints about not being given enough time to prepare gifts. So, what else does Zach have to say
"If not, don't bother me!" The mayor was very busy, Zach could understand, "Oh, by the way, this phone number is Grande's new..."
"This is a public phone, you don't need to block it." Zach was considerate.
"Oh." There was a response from the receiver, "Then I want a list of the interracial people attending the wedding. That's it. Hang up."
"You should tell Benjamin directly about this." Zach continued to remind him thoughtfully, and told the truth before hanging up, "I did not attend the wedding. Hang up."
"Then you are..."
Zach is dead.
When he was looking at the street in a daze again, the phone rang just now, but Zach would not answer it. Sometimes, if you miss it, you miss it, and you can't make up for it. This is life.
Although he didn't know where to go yet, Zach didn't want to be disturbed by the ringing of the phone, so he chose a random direction and started walking.
Walking completely aimlessly, Zach walked further and further away from the bustling city nightlife. When he came back to his senses, Zach found himself standing on Noel Beach.
Nole Beach is not a public entertainment beach, but a private beach within the sea view residential area of Nole District. On one side of the beach is the dark sea, on the other side are man-made buildings and lights.
"After listening to what 'General' said about the bar, I guessed that you probably wanted to be alone for a while, but unexpectedly, you walked onto my beach."
Zach lowered his head, only No's head was exposed on the beach.
Zach was ready to continue walking. He was not welcome in Nuo's private space, and Zach was aware of it.
"I asked 'General' to remove your charm from me." Nuo's head spoke, "'General' is not confident in himself, and he doesn't know whether he has succeeded or not. Let me hide somewhere where I won't be scary and wait for a while. . Now I feel like the general... succeeded."
Zach turned around and smiled, "I need a friend."
"Help me out, friend." Nuo smiled.
