In the evening, Mrs. Quinn came. She said she would visit Adam often, right? She brought more gifts and a camera to take pictures of the baby in Zach's arms. "Do you like children too much?" Zach didn't understand Mrs. Quinn's behavior.
"Don't you like children?" Mrs. Quinn looked like she couldn't understand Zach.
"Not enough that I don't like it, but definitely not enough to like it." When Zach said this, he was still protecting the baby in his arms to prevent his eyes from being flashed by Mrs. Quinn's photography flash. The vampire has his own reason for saying this, "He has not yet developed the qualities to be liked or disliked by another person. He is just a new... baby, nothing."
Translated, this means that babies are blank sheets of paper. People can only comment on whether they like or dislike a book with written content, but have subjective preferences for a pile of blank sheets of paper? idiot!
"Hahaha." Mrs. Quinn didn't seem to be prepared to refute Zach, "Remember your current feeling of neither liking nor disliking~ When he has the characteristics that can affect your emotions, you will miss him now. I feel it~ Trust me, it’s faster than you think~” He waved the camera in his hand and said, “Smile Zach~ This is a souvenir for you~”
Zach cooperated and smiled.
The interaction about the baby ended, and the baby was placed in the crib in Zach's bedroom to rest. After all, Zach couldn't hold this little life 24 hours a day, so he invited Bain's wife to come and take care of him, which was out of line with Mrs. Quinn. Rand, taking a walk on the dirt road...
"I heard Poch talk about the gift you gave him today." Mrs. Quinn spoke.
It was an expected topic, but Zach didn't think it was the point, so he nodded casually, "I guess you miss Pochquin very much now when he was a baby."
"Yes~" Mrs. Quinn confirmed with a smile, and then it was just as Zach guessed, "Poch can do whatever he wants. Anyway, he has almost cut off his relationship with the West Enders. I don't need to care about him. ." Look at Zach, "(Mrs. Barton) and I have discussed how to make a big story for me so that I can have a chance to change the world's memory of Mrs. Quinn."
Zach was also very direct, "Do you need my help or just inform me?"
Mrs. Quinn already had a satisfied look on her face. Zach didn't put 'advice' as an option at all, did he. Zach has already shown his absolute support for Mrs. Quinn!
This is similar to the fact that some enthusiastic people in life will always comment in your ears on various decisions you make. Such people don't know that sometimes standing quietly next to them is enough.
Mrs. Quinn here needs such support, "If everything goes well, you don't have to do anything. But if there is any small accident~" smiled.
Zach nodded. She would definitely explain Mrs. Quinn's plan and would not ask too many questions.
"(Mrs. Barton) is going to use Laura and Kyle to donate an orphanage in the Republic in my name."
There are two connections that come to mind for Zach. The first is that the Quinn family has a history of orphanages in Barton. Wes, Jason, and Cliff all came out of Quinn's Orphanage, remember. The second one is the friendship between Mrs. Quinn and Mrs. Barton. It’s quite interesting to talk about. The South Side Nursing Home, which originally belonged to the Barton family, is now the business of Mrs. Quinn’s grandson Poch Quinn. Now Mrs. Barton lets her grandson and granddaughter go there. Entering the realm of the Quinn family.
Of course, neither of the two connections that Zach thought of were the reasons for Mrs. Quinn's decision. They were just some interesting facts.
"We talked about making some news in Patton, which we old guys who have controlled Patton for half his life would be adept at. But we began to realize that if we did something in Patton, there would only be one outcome, and it would make Patton's already high-profile controversy It has become bigger." Looking at Zach, "Alien-human, Indian-Republican-native culture, and the urban relationship of Barton-Newton." Each of these are substantial social problems that Barton is experiencing. Mrs. Quinn gave Zach continued with a look that you would understand naturally, "For me to be able to move around Barton more conveniently as an individual, it makes the atmosphere of the entire city more tense, which is not worth the gain."
Quinn has a point. First of all, everyone knows the statement in the first half about the West Enders controlling Barton for half his life. As the makers and developers of Barton, West Enders know everything about this city. No one thinks that West End people don’t understand all the social problems in Barton that we have discovered through Grande before. Every social attribute contained in Barton society is under the gaze of the West End people.
Then in the second half, Mrs. Quinn made it clear that the only purpose of getting this news was to facilitate the return of her face, which had been overexposed by the Barton media, to a stranger, so that she could move around in Barton more conveniently. This is the purest self-interest.
To disrupt Barton's social relationships for personal gain? Mrs. Quinn gave the attributive word "more gain than gain".
In some ways, Mrs. Queen is more gentle to the world (the city of Barton) than Zachary Torre.
Zach realized something. After listening to Mrs. Quinn's words, he nodded, "It's good. Use the Republic as a gimmick to spread the news without involving too many local social issues in Barton. At the same time, you can also exercise. Kyle and Lola.”
Mrs. Quinn continued directly, "Haha, I don't need your approval, but since you think it is good, I will accept the praise." Mrs. Quinn has adapted well to the role of Toledo. This is her He already has the trait, but it was not taught by Zach.
Zucker also knew his place in the plan, and as Mrs. Quinn said, "This is the kind of thing that should have the support of both the federal and republican governments." Is there any reason not to support it? Orphanage! What a positive and glorious thing! "But if there is any small problem, Kyle and Laura may need some support. They will need Louise in the Republic, or even the descendants of Ian under Papa Midnight (after all, they are officials within the Republican government)."
"Yes." Mrs. Quinn nodded.
The two Toledo vampires wandered on the dirt road for a while.
It was Mrs. Quinn who asked, "How long will someone be with us?"
This someone, Nick Giovanni, who has been following Zach and Mrs. Quinn silently since they left the house...
Zach put on a thoughtful look and pretended, "Probably until he hears things related to the Sabbat." Zach didn't mock anything, just joking, "Once he hears it, he won't just follow Instead, he rushed over to express his opinions.”
Nick crushed a few innocent stones in the distance
Nick had done a lot of things like rushing over in Grand, right? How many times had this guy rushed in front of Zach and kicked him while he was dealing with something? Everyone remembers how the blood James obtained to control Director Darcy turned into his Nick Giovanni's blood.
This kind of behavior is not annoying to Zach because it is quite reasonable. Nick's motivations have always been clear. Such a person is reliable, not in the literal sense of being comfortable being close to him, but in the sense that you know that all of this person's actions will not exceed the reliability of his personality.
Mrs. Quinn looked back at Nick with no expression. When she looked back, she shook her head. The topic suddenly changed again at this moment, "I actually don't quite understand the reason why you suddenly went to the city hall and threatened Mayor Barton."
There is something to be said about Zach going to the southeast and telling the 'General' to let Toledo, led by the 'General', take over the North District of Barton. But Mrs Quinn was not notified to take over Barton West.
It's not that Zach missed this step, but, "I didn't threaten the mayor, he just put the facts in front of him." Facts? Did Mrs. Queen need Zach to tell her she would take over the West End? Oh, I have always been the master of the West District! Uh, add at most one owner!
No need to say more.
The only valid information revealed by this initial topic is that even though Blake in the Stone family is no longer the secretary in the mayor's office, the West Enders still have control of everything belonging to Mayor Barton. I mean, SO! have! Including a completely accidental walk by the mayor in the city hall square!
Mrs. Quinn was quiet for a while, and then smiled, "Yes, I have been troubled by one thing before, how did you come to be the executor of Grande?"
Zach has already calmed down about this problem, "Grand is also very good, he helped me get to where I am now, didn't he~"
"Yeah~" Mrs. Quinn smiled and nodded, then immediately stopped smiling and said in a serious tone, "So what is the situation of our Toledo clan now? Let's completely join the Sabbat Alliance and become a part of them. Is it over?"
Pay attention to Mrs. Quinn's tone, 'That Sabbat Alliance'.
Does Mrs. Queen need to be fond of the Sabbat? unnecessary. So Mrs. Quinn now has this attitude and says there is nothing wrong with the Sabbat. Does Mrs. Queen need to be fond of the Sabbat? unnecessary. So Mrs. Quinn now has this attitude and says there is nothing wrong with the Sabbat.
Yes, it's no problem now. In the future, we have to wait for Zach’s answer to this question. Pay attention to Mrs. Quinn's tone, 'That Sabbat Alliance'.
Does Mrs. Queen need to be fond of the Sabbat? unnecessary. So Mrs. Quinn now has this attitude and says there is nothing wrong with the Sabbat.
Yes, it's no problem now. In the future, we have to wait for Zach’s answer to this question.
"Why don't you join~" Zach kept smiling, "Look, I already have so many followers who voluntarily gathered around me (Nick is one of them)." Zach and Quinn's cooperation was seamless. "I also have the protection of the ancestors who represent the highest position of vampires (Frank, Pa, and even Mokawei, the biological mother of the godson). On the periphery, I also have the merged clan Assamat hidden in the dark, and the secret once The orphans left behind in the central part of the federation (the vampires harvested by the Sabbat screening vampire project, relying on Russell to obtain survival resources in the west)." Zach looked at Mrs. Quinn, "I took over the city of Barton because all the chess pieces have been laid out a long time ago. We Toledo..." Zach deliberately used ambiguous expressions, "It is also natural to receive the chessboard and Sabbat that have been laid out~"
Mrs. Quinn looked back at Nick again, with the same expressionless expression. As I just said, this part is the unprepared cooperation between Mrs. Quinn and Zach, but the result of this cooperation, as everyone can see, is a very tacit understanding ~ "Yes." Then he looked back, "I just hope someone knows that I am on the chessboard. When you get into the position, don’t say or do the wrong things.” “Why don’t you join~” Zach kept smiling, “Look, I already have so many followers who voluntarily gathered around me (Nick is one of them) member)." The cooperation between Zach and Quinn was seamless. "I am also protected by the ancestors who represent the highest position of vampires (Frank, Pa, and even Mokawei, the godson's biological mother), and I have hidden secrets on the outside. The merged clan Assamat in the dark, and the secret orphans who were left behind in the central part of the Federation (the Sabbat screens the vampires harvested by the vampire project, and relies on Russell to obtain survival resources in the west)." Zach looked at Mrs. Quinn, "I took over Barton City because all the chess pieces had been laid out a long time ago. We Toledo..." Zach deliberately used ambiguous expressions, "It is also natural to accept the chessboard and Sabbat that have been laid out~"

Nick's pace began to quicken behind him
Nick can accept whatever Zach says, after all, he put Zach on his high position four centuries ago! However, after all, Nick is a very traditional guy and has been accustomed to the Sabbat's sense of superiority for four centuries. He still can't accept being so contemptuous of Mrs. Quinn, a third-generation vampire.
Coming closer.
Mrs. Quinn turned around and said, "What, do you have any problem with me?" As she spoke, she stretched out her hand with the back of her hand facing up. "Lesenbra told me that vampires are all vampires when we were dating." A creature that pays attention to etiquette." Pay attention to the key points. During the date, you have not forgotten the little bloody progress between Mrs. Quinn and Frank. "Give you a chance, before you offend a lady like me, let you I have the same honor as the ancestor of the Lesenbra family, so I will kiss the back of my hand first."
Nick was stunned for a moment.
Zach didn't speak or react.
Nick frowned, kissing was out of the question, and he stared at Zach, "I have no problem with anything you do, but why do you despise the vampire hierarchy so much! Forget it yourself, you still allow your descendants to ignore vampires so much ethics!"
Nick probably meant two things, not three. One is that Zach always lets people around him call him Zach.
