Back at the Grand House, the van turned directly into the backyard. The vampire raised his eyebrows at the scene in the backyard and returned to the office first.
The afternoon trip was interrupted because I didn't expect a certain boy to move. He didn't spend long time at Madison's place, so there was still some distance before the evening party. Zach returned to the office, carried only a wine bottle, and walked to the backyard.
The vampire gave up the office very considerately. If Daniel the Phantom needs to call someone, no one will bother him.
"What's going on?" Zach moved the chair and faced the backyard. Looking at Laura who was loudly instructing Matthew to run back and forth, it was Benjamin who asked.
Benjamin put one leg on the outside of the hammock, pushing back and forth, and explained with a smile, "Lola is teaching Matthew rugby."
"Run!" Laura shouted at Matthew, "Don't be like a girl!"
Matthew's vest was soaked with sweat. He held a ball tied with a ball of hay in front of him and ran in the direction of Laura's finger. Even the ground was marked with lime or something to help Matthew remember the location.
"Here?!" Matthew smashed the hay ball on a white ground, raised his hands, and his chest heaved, "Did I score a touchdown?!"
"Wrong!" Laura waved her hands, looking furious, "This is here!"
Matthew quickly picked up the ball that rolled to one side and sprinted towards the other.
The two of them are very into the drama.
"Score!" Matthew smashed the ball towards Bai again.
Laura lowered her head, looking dejected, "Matthew, you remind me of my brother's position."
Matthew put down his hands, panted heavily, and casually pulled up his vest to wipe the sweat from his face, "Is this a good thing? Right? Your brother is very good, right? What position does he play?"
Laura rolled her eyes. Matthew, the man who appeared later, didn't know what happened before, "Right field."
"Where?" The sun reflected in the sweat beads on Matthew's shoulders. The young man, who had not graduated from high school, was looking for it in the white of the backyard in confusion.
Laura waved her hand helplessly and circled an area.
Matthew ran over honestly, "Then I will be the right outfield." He arched his body and assumed a posture ready for action. He looked sideways at Laura expectantly and asked, "What should I do? Attack? Defend. ?”
Laura’s face didn’t know whether it was a smile or anguish, piled together. Finally the girl gave up, "No more teaching! Alice! We don't want to bask in the sun anymore! Let's go in!"
Matthew was left at a loss, and he was having a great time! Although it is a bit cruel, Matthew's family did not allow him to have any extracurricular activities during his student days, including sports. His muscular body comes from work, not 'play'.
Matthew looked at Benjamin in confusion. He could feel that the topic of 'brother' had affected Laura's mood. Benjamin smiled and waved, "Go take a shower, and then I'll tell you."
The young wolf walked obediently to the west side of the warehouse.
Zach watched the activities in the courtyard disperse and turned the direction of his chair to face Benjamin. The wine bottle had been raised to the level. Benjamin chuckled and shook his head, "No need to drink it now. I have the spices Sibella gave me. Did you forget it?"
Usually, in preparation for the two days of dieting, vampires will start to store some 'food' in advance to fill themselves up before Alpha's senses are stronger than those of vampires.
Zach shook his head and Zhanshi put down the bottle, "It's better if you don't use that thing."
In the notes left by Sibella, they had found a spice that matched the description. The material ratio and production method were already known. As for the effect, Sibella only vaguely wrote a few words, 'stimulating the soul'.
No matter how you look at it, the word 'stimulating' is used, which doesn't seem like a good thing. Thinking back to Sibella's own use of vision, she was overdrafting herself to perform witchcraft. Therefore, instinctively, Zach did not want Benjamin to rely on this thing.
Benjamin curled his lips indifferently, as he had thought before, there was no need for Sibella to harm him.
Zach frowned, and Benjamin thought it didn't matter, so it would be a bit ridiculous for him to abuse himself by breaking his eating rules. Zach pouted, put the bottle aside, and started talking about what happened in the afternoon.
Benjamin heard about the James case and took the same attitude as Zach. The perpetrator was so targeted that there was really no need for Grande to get involved. Now it is different from before. The people who need to protect Barton City are not only Anthony and Grande, but also Crowley and James. It is the most ideal situation for everyone to be able to divide the work independently of each other.
It's just that the identity of the other party is really curious. 'Hellfire' (Judgment Fire) has revealed that the other party comes from the same belief system as Crowley and Zach. Judging from the words in the news revealed by James, it should be from a foreign race in the opposite direction to Crowley, but it is still unclear which category it belongs to.
For the next two things, Benjamin just shrugged and said he had no opinion. One involves Daniel**, if fantasy people have**. There's also a real job involving the Grand House, and Benjamin is just a guy digging at tombstones with his claws, and he doesn't want to worry about the messy stuff.
After Matthew rinsed off, he changed into a clean vest and sat in front of Benjamin. Zach sat aside and listened, killing time, and he discovered an interesting observation about Benjamin.
"Even if what Kyle does will make him go to hell and accept endless punishment, this punishment is not real to everyone. Because his punishment no longer exists in this world, whether it is atonement or repentance, , have nothing to do with this world anymore. The mark he leaves in this world will only be real, an 'evil' that corrupts people's hearts. So what we do is to give him a chance to be punished for real. "
The cub doesn't need to understand Alpha's words, he just memorizes them.
The Barton family's car came to pick up Laura, and it happened to be the time when Alice was going to go on a 'date' with Cook. At the last party, Zach was obviously the one who arrived late. This time Zach was accordingly ahead of schedule and followed Barton's car towards the North District.
Route 7 ends at Bache Street and connects with the truck station, and then goes northwest on Bache Street to Port Massa. This kind of traffic skeleton was set up by the founders of Patton City and is still preserved today.
But perhaps it is such close transportation connections that make Beqi's exhibition increasingly far away from the positive image of the city.
I think everyone knows what I mean.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the red light district, the mixed flow of people has spawned countless bars and nightclubs... those stores that have signs saying "Business hours, 6 pm to 9 am" are completely opposite to people's daily routine.
Of course, the city government will not ignore this kind of development and continue to do so. The streets east of Bechi, near Repert High School, have been repaired and renovated since the beginning of the year. The Becky area originally presented the image of an upside-down comb. The teeth on the head of the comb were divided by upturned soil and construction trucks, separating the worlds of teenagers and adults.
As for the effect, we cannot see it in the short term.
Zach turned at the intersection where Route 7 ended and headed toward the bar.
Due to the old urban planning, there is no parking lot like Lister Street, and all kinds of vehicles are parked haphazardly on the roadside. Zack parked his car at a random street corner, found a hot dog cart and exchanged a lot of change before heading to the bar.
Just like a warm-up, at this time, the people in the 'gentleman' bar are still very reserved, just like in an ordinary bar, chatting with friends, sipping beer, chewing bread, and shelling nuts. . When the sky outside the bar was completely replaced by neon colors, the dancers they were waiting for, who could give out the one-dollar bills they had prepared long ago, would appear.
Zach smiled directly at the person guarding the stairs and went upstairs.
The scale of the ** bar is not large, and the space on the second floor is only as big as a private room. There are no partition walls like ordinary private rooms, just go upstairs in an open space. Standing up from the sand, you can see the infinite scenery downstairs after the gentleman's night really begins.
Zach thought that maybe it was because of Nuo and the others that they chose this place. The only open box meant complete independence and safety. You know, it would be too embarrassing if they encountered the things that this group of people were discussing. It's obvious what's around here, unless someone is tied beneath their feet.
Nuo and the others have arrived, a group of people eating and chatting. **Bar, like most bars, offers simple food, such as bread and chips. Zach sat down with a smile, greeted a few people, and casually picked up the peanuts in the basket.
"It's quite early today!" Nuo smiled and looked at Zach.
Zach nodded, looked at the eyes of the people around him, seemed to realize something, and smiled, "I didn't disturb anything."
"Of course not!" Nuo smiled and bumped Zach with his elbow. He was holding French fries dipped in some unknown sauce, so he didn't touch Zach directly. Then Nuo looked at the other people, "It's all you, you look so sneaky, it makes people suspicious!"
A few people smiled awkwardly.
Nuo explained without taking it seriously, "It's nothing, it's just that it's difficult for us to gather together, so we only have this time. Some sensitive information is not suitable when there are many people, so I'll take advantage of now."
Nuo's eyes pointed outward.
Zack got it, service staff. The official event has not started yet, and no waiters have come up to wait for orders. Zach thought about it and found that this was a very strict group of people. Now recall what happened at the last party. It was indeed like this. Most things were revealed like gossip in front of the dancers. No one revealed the really important information.
