In the dark environment, Arthur heard the doorbell, stood up from the sofa, opened the snack garbage bag on the coffee table, and held the gun in his hand. He approached the door slowly, keeping a posture ready to attack at any time, "Who?"
"Me." Nuo's voice.
Arthur's body relaxed and he prepared to open the door. But as soon as he touched the doorknob, his hand retracted, "I didn't ask you to come!"
"You hired me to ensure your safety." Nuo was outside the door, his voice seemed impatient, "I'm just doing my job."
Arthur frowned, quickly left the door, walked through the living room, and opened a curtain behind the heavy curtains, letting the light shine into the safe house through the small gaps.
This place conforms to the apartment pattern of the southeast unit building, which is small and cramped. Arthur looked downstairs behind the gap. Nuo's car was parked downstairs. From this angle, he could barely confirm that Nuo's car was empty. Unlike yesterday, there was a vampire sitting in the car holding a baby. …
Arthur left the curtain and returned to the door, but still didn't open the door, "Did something happen outside?!"
"Are you sure you want me to talk to you outside the door?" Nuo's voice seemed to be mocking something, "Although part of the reason why I bought this house as a safe house is that the people living in this building are all Republicans. They listen to I don't quite understand the federal language, but Arthur, do you want to test the republican's learning ability? I'll talk to you in the corridor about crime, aliens, drugs... and see if you get 'enthusiastic' Gonghe neighbors started calling the police..."
"Stop! Stop talking, stop talking!!" Arthur irritably moved the hand holding the gun behind his back, opened the door with the other hand, and glanced at Nuo, "Come in! Hurry up!"
Nuo curled his lips and stepped into the door, "As if this is your property." Nuo noticed Arthur's hands behind his back, knowing that the other party was on guard, and shook his head, "If you don't trust me , you shouldn’t have entrusted me with it.”
"I didn't! You came to me on your own, remember!" Arthur glared at Nuo and closed the door, but still listened to the noise outside for a while, and then relaxed after confirming that Nuo came alone. The hand holding the gun.
"That's true." Nuo entered the safe house and took a look at the space inside. There were food and drink garbage everywhere, and he felt a little unhappy. "You will either be found by me or by a vampire. So, I'm here to help." Even if I kill you, you still have to thank me."
"I'm not so sure that you deserve my thanks!" The gun in Arthur's hand was not put down. On the contrary, unlike hiding it behind his back just now, he now placed the gun in the most conspicuous position in front of him and pointed it at No, "After yesterday, I confirmed that you and the vampire are a team, right? That Zachary Grande has a close relationship with you!"
Of course Nuo saw the gun pointed at him, "It depends on the situation." Without any sense of danger, he turned his back to Arthur, cleared a space on the sofa and sat down. Then he looked at Arthur, "But you really don't know anything."
"What do you mean!" This is probably the mentality that after you are already suspicious of someone, everything the other person says seems to be a threat. Arthur's tone was not good.
"Okay." Nuo waved his hand, "Let's start from the beginning." Nuo dug out his pocket and took out a piece of paper, which was obviously a copy of something, "You get it from the 'General's Rest Stop' Bought the equipment to rob 0711 Pharmacy." The paper was handed to Arthur, "Here are the transaction details."
Arthur was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to grab the copy, and glanced at it, "Why do you have this?! Do you have the habit of investigating your employer?!"
Nuo curled his lips, "'General' is a descendant of Zachary Grande. They all have the blood of Toledo."
Arthur's eyes widened, "What?!"
"Hey, Arthur, you are also a native of Barton. Let's be honest with the locals. Do you really think that the 'General' has become the only remaining gang force in the southeast just because the 'General' is lucky. "
"Isn't it because the 'General' is the only gang among the original southeastern gangs that deals in weapons?!" Arthur stared.
"If there is illegal arms trading in Barton, haha, do you, a native of Barton, really think that such a good business should be managed by gangsters like these in the southeast instead of families in the west?"
Arthur closed his mouth and stared at Nuo.
Nuo took out another piece of paper, "Here are the transfer details for you to buy the 0711 pharmacy monitoring and maintenance record from Aix Security Company..."
Before Nuo could show it, Arthur had already snatched it away, glanced at it in the same way, and then crumpled it into a ball gloomily.
Nuo had no problem with this behavior, "Half of Aix's security staff are 'general' people."
Arthur's face twitched, but he didn't question.
Nuo seemed a little disappointed. Maybe Nuo had prepared an answer, but now he couldn't say it.
As for us, we don't need Nuo's answer. We know better than Nuo about the security matters between 'General' and Aix.
Nuo stopped taking out things, "Do you understand, your little project to rob the 0711 pharmacy was under the watchful eye of vampires from the very beginning." Nuo shrugged, "What a wonderful thing, in the end The ones who appear in front of you and cause trouble for you are not the Toledo vampires who have been watching you do this from the beginning, but Rimmel and Gangro."
Nuo smiled and said, "This is quite funny. It's also the Toledo vampire who has been in your cognitive blind spot. After you escaped from the middle of Gangro and Rimel, you ran back to the southeast. All of them are hiding from the limelight of the police. In the southeast, you can't find Aix security who you think is from the west side (Falcon family). What you find is the only gang you are familiar with, which is the 'General', and then,' General, as the son of Zachary Grande, when he heard that you ran away from Zach, he naturally didn't want to care about you, so I showed up."
Arthur raised his gun and pointed it at Nuo, "What do you want from me?!"
"You should have asked this question earlier." Nuo smiled at Arthur, "After you said a lot of things about inhuman vampires like a madman, I accepted your words very calmly and told you that I When I’m the only one who can help you when I’m very experienced in this kind of thing, that’s when you ask.”
Arthur's mind was in knots, and it took him a while to realize what Nuo meant, "You are indeed with the vampires!"
Nuo shook his head, but said, "That's why I said you don't know anything." Nuo leaned on the sofa for a while. There was too much garbage and he couldn't find a comfortable position. He gave up and sighed, "I let You entrust me, you don't have to doubt this. If I want to harm you, I will not let you go through the entrustment process." Nuo glanced at Arthur, "I am in this profession, and I care about the success rate of my entrustment. Yes. So, you can rest assured that I regard protecting your safety as my job, and I will protect your safety."
Arthur did not put down the gun in his hand, and repeated, "What do you want from me?!"
Nuo was quiet for a while, seeming to collect his emotions, "Like I said, it's too late for you to ask this question." He looked at Arthur, "I can't get anything from you now."
"What do you mean!"
"Barton's five Gangaroos are all dead." Nuo said as he looked at Arthur.
Arthur's mouth moved, and you could clearly feel what kind of stress response this person's body was making.
As it should be. In Arthur's mind, Gangaro is the vampire who saved him from Rimmer. Although he doesn't understand the significance of Gangaro treating himself as a descendant, the fact is that Arthur can at least count on his offending. After Rimel, Gangluo can support him.
"Zachary Grande." Nuo waved his hand, "Zach." He changed his name to Nuo's more comfortable name, "I just went to 'General' and asked 'General' to go to Novel on his behalf." Nuo paused. After a moment, he looked at Arthur, "Another vampire clan is entrenched in the British area of Baton Pais. Let the 'General' go to represent Toledo and inform Nophele Gangro of his death."
Nuo curled his lips, "You don't need to know the reason for this. The relationship between these vampires is very complicated. If I tell you, you probably won't understand."
"I don't care either!!" This was a bit too strong, for the reason I just said. This sentence forced me to convince myself.
Nuo continued without any reaction, "Barton's Gangro is dead, and your status as a descendant of Gangluo is of no use." Nuo shook his head, "It is of no use to me." As if to himself. He said, "Humph, I thought the original Secret Alliance clan that Zach took care of the most was Gangro. After all, he was with the Saint and a vampire working under Benjamin. Neither Rimel nor Nofele could compare. "Go..." Nuo continued to shake his head, "I didn't expect that Gangero died in Grandry."
Arthur put away his gun and turned around to escape.
The second half of Nuo's words can be said to himself. But for Arthur, these words are very ambiguous. Gangro died in Grande, the territory of the Toledo vampire. Can it be understood that Toledo and Rimel are together? So if Arthur continues to stay with this human gray professional who claims to be Toledo's friend, is it equivalent to giving away his life?
Ignore Arthur's misunderstanding for now.
We need to understand what Nuo really means.
Among the several old clans of Barton's secret alliance, Rimel is bound to Smith in the West District, and Nofele is bound to the wizard of Paisying. This is a very impressive fact. Smith is a West Ender that Zach admits to admiring, and Sibella, the wizard from Paisin, is also considered a friend of Zach's. Zach has done a lot for both sides of the ball at Patton.
Then look at Gangro.
Gangro is bound to Saint Sissi, a relationship that was completed before coming to Barton. Gangro then became an employee of Zumen Office, working directly under Zach's brother Benjamin. Be objective.
Under this objective perspective, Nuo's conclusion is not wrong. Toledo, our Zac, takes care of the Gangaro clan the most! He is also a saint who believes in the origin of vampires, and he is also the younger brother in his own family. How can he have a stronger relationship than the friends in the West District and Pai Siying?

The backer of the old secret alliance's foothold in Barton, Gangluo is the one with the highest standards!
This is what Nuo really meant. He misjudged Gangro's position in Zach's heart.
And this miscarriage of justice has revealed Nuo's true original intention. He wanted to keep Arthur, and he was just implementing the principle he was honest with Zach: to please the vampire.
Is everything clear? What Nuo said just now is that Arthur can no longer give Nuo anything. What he is talking about is the fact that Gangero is dead now, which makes Nuo realize that he can't please anyone!
Back to the moment when Arthur turned around and prepared to escape.
Nuo glanced sideways at Arthur who turned around, and watched without any movement as Arthur rushed to the door to open the door.
After the clang of the door being forced open, Arthur looked back at Nuo gloomily, "Why can't it be opened!"
Tsk. This guy would ask such an idiot question. It's not the question that's idiotic, it's the person who's asking. Apparently Nuo did something wrong because he didn't want him to escape like that. After all, this is Nuo's safe house.
"Why are you anxious? You are of no use to me anymore. I will naturally let you go." Nuo looked at Arthur, "But before you leave, do you also need to settle the commission fee with me?"
What Nuo said now was just a joke.
If all he wanted was the reward for the commission, he wouldn't have told Arthur so much.
Arthur didn't waste time on the door in vain. He rushed to the window and grabbed a chair on the way. It looked like he was going to break the window.
Nuo said in a calm tone, "This is my safe house. If you get out of the window easily, my money for 'renovation' will be in vain."
Arthur didn't listen. He raised his arm and smashed the chair against the window.
Except for the curtain shaking a little when it was hit by the sassafras, nothing happened.
Arthur picked up the gun again, turned on the safety, and pointed it at Nuo, "Let me get out!!"
"Have you not watched the news recently?" Nuo still had no reaction, but pointed to the TV opposite the sofa. It's a very old TV, but it should be functional. "You should watch it. At least pay attention to your companions who robbed you before. Then do you know that your companions have been caught by the police station."
