Zach spent less than five minutes at Mary's Chapel.
Since he had nothing to say, Zach told Jessica what Madison wanted: "Madison is going to hell, send him down."
Jessica, "I don't think I should obey any of your instructions." Hesitantly, "Sissi..."
"Do you still want to be controlled by Mayor Barton in various social activities in the future?" Zach asked.
"Don't want to," Jessica replied.
"Very well, I have informed Mayor Anthony that Barton will be my sovereign over the city of Toledo in the future. You don't want to participate in those boring social activities. From now on, you don't need to participate."
Jessica blinked, "I don't need to take in homeless people? I don't need to take my demons to donate blood? I don't need to take people to serve as volunteers to carry out any charity activities in this city~... "
"No need. I'll leave it here. From now on, as long as the demons that Mary's Church belongs to do not affect Toledo's control of this city, you can do whatever you want, demons' things. You will no longer Not bound by any human rights or ethics. Sissi would also be happy with this result, right?"
"Oh hehe hehe, where's Madison, Madison, Madison~~~"
Stop at Mary's Church, end.
After leaving Mary Church, Benjamin still took the driving seat, "When did this city become your Toledo city?"
"Hey, Benjamin, it's been from the beginning." Zach didn't want to explain, "If you want the title of city lord, you can still keep it, but this city belongs to me, and you have to have this consciousness."
Perhaps it was this attitude of informing without being refuted that made Benjamin unhappy. He stopped casually on the side of the road and got out of the car, "Give me my son!"
Zach actually gave it.
But baby Adam's current IQ is not enough to realize that his father is fighting with his godfather, two non-human beings. As a baby, all he could feel was that his environment had changed, from Zach's custom-made silky soft shirt front to Benjamin's wrinkled and sweat-stained work vest...
This comparison is so unfair...
The moment baby Adam touched Benjamin's arms, he went "Wow!!!"
"*!" Benjamin returned the baby to Zach's hand, stood outside the car for a while, turned around, and left.
If creating a difficult environment for Zach was Benjamin's purpose, he did it.
With at least four centuries of life experience, Zach didn't know how to complete the task of driving home while holding a baby.
On the side of the road, Zach sat in the car and began to observe the street casually.
There is a purpose. It is easy for Toledo to charm a human to drive for him. But the problem is, there is really no passerby in this neighborhood!
Benjamin chose a good road. After they came out of Mary's Church, they casually headed south and drove the car to the southeast. In just two sentences, the car was parked aside without even getting close to Route 27.
Zach sat in the car for a while and got bored. After getting off the car, I was going to find a driver from 'General'.
'The General' is now very welcoming to Zach. Because Zach gave him the North District~
This process occurred before Zach went to sit in the city hall square and Zach asked the 'General' to inform Nofil of Paisying of Gangero's death on behalf of Toledo.
Zach, who was holding the baby in his arms, had already reached the street where the 'General' bar was located, but stopped. No's car was parked outside the bar.
Zach doesn't really want to see Nuo right now, because...
Now that Zach has become Barton's true leader, a certain motivation that Nou confessed to Zach will become more clear and become Zach's most admired human friend.
Zach understands the truth, but he just feels a little uncomfortable.
"What are you doing?"
Zach, who was standing on the street corner, turned back and glanced at the shadow of the building, "Bumi?"
"Barton, who else has the ability to get close to you without you noticing~" Bumi stepped out of the shadows and smiled at Zach.
"Dora," Zach answered.
"Tsk, you're so boring." Bumi complained, and moved closer to Zach to look at the baby in Zach's arms, "It's really a human~~"
Zach was not the kind of person to say, "Do you want a hug?" Instead, he turned his body sideways to prevent Bumi's fingers from touching the baby. "Don't touch, he just fell asleep." Judging from Bumi's gesture, he wanted to squeeze the baby. Pink face.
"Are you so protective of the calf?" Bumi blinked, "This is not your seed either!"
"This is Alpha, the ancestor of the Mokavi clan. Do you still want to pinch it?" He said, sending the baby to Bumi and asking him to complete the action he had not completed just now.
"No, no." Bumi ducked away and stayed quiet for a while to observe Zach's sight and make sure that Zach was looking at the General's bar. "Aren't you going in?"
"No there." Zach replied.
"Do you want me to listen to what's going on inside for you?" Bumi suggested.
Zach looked back at Bumi, "Why are you here?"
"Oh." Bumi put on a serious face, "'General' sent people to send Siying to inform Gangluo's death, and we sent Siying to have a meeting. Based on the current situation of 'General' It seems that the entire North District will rely on him, so we decided to send a representative to have a talk with the 'General.'" Bumi pointed at himself, obviously he was the so-called representative.
Zach looked at Bumi, as if he didn't want to speak.
Bumi looked a little silly and looked at Zach.
Zach gave up, "You're already standing in front of me, and you don't want to tell me, but you have to tell the 'General'?"
Bumi's head shook. He didn't know if he had an epiphany or if he was continuing to act foolishly. "We have no advantage at all when talking to you. You are so eloquent. 'General' is easier to manipulate, so I'd better talk to you." He said it was better."
Zach opened his mouth, a bit confused about whether to laugh or cry, "What do you mean? Are you, Nofiler, planning to do something small in my city of Toledo?"
"Look!" Bumi shook her head vigorously, "You are too sensitive, you heard it right away! The negotiating field was equal in an instant, how can I negotiate terms! No, no, no, don't ask, I still Talk to 'The General'."
Zach also shook his head, forget it. After all, it was Novel and the wizard who were the ones Zach trusted, so it was unlikely that anything would really embarrass Zach. "It's up to you, but don't make things too difficult for 'General'. I've just started to really treat him as a descendant of Toledo, so don't make it difficult for me."
"Absolutely~" Bumi agreed obediently. It seemed that he understood and was not really stupid. "Seeing that you finally started to rebuild the Toledo clan, Dora and I are very happy~ I won't hold you back. The hind legs~”
Zach was relieved, "Let's go and see what General Nohe is talking about."
Bumi disappeared into the shadows.
Zach waited where he was.
After a while, Zach saw passers-by. People with Republican appearance hurriedly passed by on the street. Occasionally, they met other Republicans. They just exchanged a few words and quickly separated to go on their own journeys.
Zach didn't think he had found any absolute atmosphere, but he could still feel a little atmosphere. The republicans living in Barton didn't seem to be very relaxed.
Here, 'Republicans living in Barton' are used directly to replace the republics in the southeast. As you all know, when republican immigrants appeared in large numbers, Barton only had vacant properties for sale in the southeast (and the Indian community in Paisin Reasons for intending to control Paisying real estate). The vast majority of Republicans who settled in Barton lived in the southeast.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the southeast can represent the atmosphere of life of the entire Barton Chinese Communist Party.
Zach frowned. Understanding means being able to understand the reasons for the formation of this atmosphere
First of all, it is not a relaxing thing for foreigners to come to live in the Federation. Those who want to relax are tourists who come to sightsee and have fun. Settling down in the Commonwealth, that's life. Work, language, and habits are all problems. It is not something that republican tourists who come to experience a foreign country can feel.
Secondly, the Republicans have experienced some, ugh, tragic things in Barton, including murders driven by the faith of the Holy Lord. Forget it, don’t mention this anymore.
Finally, the southeast is really not a livable place. To tell you a fact that may not be good, 80% of the Republicans who settled in the southeast were deceived into living here!
As any Barton local knows, the southeast is the most unpopular area in all of Barton in every aspect. Those properties that were vacant, everyone knew how they were vacant (gang purges in the Southeast). But when the Republicans saw the city of Barton, all they saw was, 'Wow, there is a security company here. It is said that it is an industry of the city's pillar family (Falcon). The environment here must be the best. ~'
After all, everyone knows that the Patton government will not vigorously publicize the bad things in its own city when it serves as the trade gateway between the two countries.
Zach shook his head. After all, it was a human matter. Zach was not prepared to care too much. He just wanted to feel the atmosphere and leave it at that. On the contrary, for Zach's current mentality, this is the best development position for the 'general' Toledo, which is free and can control the future republic's impression of the country of the Federation. How nice.
Bumi is finally back.
As soon as he came back, he stood in front of Zach and frowned, "Did you know that Nuo hid a human in the southeast?"
Zach looked at Bumi, "Seems... aware." Zach was thinking of Nuo's safe house.
"Then do you know that human being is the candidate for the descendant of the dead Gangro?"
"Arthur?" Zach raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, then you know." Bumi nodded and reported the address, "xxx, xxx, xx." It was indeed the location of the safe house that Nuo had visited before.
Zach looked at Bumi for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"Aren't you going to deal with this human being?" Bumi asked back.
"Why should I get rid of this human being?" Zach continued to raise his eyebrows.
"Because Nou is discussing with the 'General' whether to hand this man over to James Lance."
Zach blinked, "Why give this man to James Lance?"
"Because Nuo feels that handing it over to James is equivalent to handing it over to you."
Zach was a little confused, "Then why did you give me the address and let me deal with him?"
"Well, it's because James Lance is taking the blood of Nick Giovanni to control their North District director, the inheritor Darcy, isn't it? Nou thought James was still yours, but I know James himself doesn’t think so, who knows what James will do after getting this person.”
Bumi can do it, no, Nofeile can do it. This clan relies on obtaining intelligence as a means of survival. Apart from the devil, they probably know best about some of the things that happened in Barton.
"Oh." Zach understood a little bit, "You want me to deal with the trouble as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Zach waved his hand, "This Arthur is trouble, but not my trouble. He is still the murderer of the Seaside Park case, and he is also involved in the private industry that Rimmer built behind the Smith family's back. We just need to deal with him. It’s not my turn.” Zach thought for a moment, “Just let Nuo send the person to the police.”
Bumi also frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I heard what they discussed, and Nuo didn't make a decision." He hesitated, "It seems more like testing the meaning of 'General'." After a pause , "Just to test Toledo, to test your intentions." Then he waved his hand, "I heard the attitude of 'General', it seems that he has been going around in circles without any conclusion."
The corners of Zach's mouth curved unconsciously. You can imagine what a 'general' looks like. 'General' is not a frank person, you all remember that. Think about what 'General' relied on to gain a foothold in the gray professional circle when he was still a human.
Although what Bumi said confirmed Zach's expectation of No's motives now, all of No's current actions are purposeful to please the vampire. However, this is also the normal relationship model of "General". Gray professionals will share information with each other, but this information is only limited to information that does not conflict with their ongoing work!
Now the interests of the 'general' are Toledo's interests in this city.
Let Nuo test it. Zach just wrote down the address of this safe house, it would be useful, but it was not the 'General' in the North District.
"When will they finish talking?" Zach asked the driver, not forgetting the reason why he was here. Now it feels like the two gray professionals have to go around for a long time, "Do you have to wait too?"
"Of course I have to wait. What I want to discuss with the 'General' is not something a gray professional human should listen to~especially that Nuo~" he winked at Zach.
Zach knows that this wink means that people are human friends recognized by you. On behalf of Pai Siying, I will only talk to the 'general' who is easier to deal with, and I will never touch you!
Zach was too lazy to care, "Then it's up to you. It's okay anyway. Be my driver and take me back to Grande."
