In the late afternoon, the fax machine in Grande's office started working. By the time the fax was finished, there was a pile of paper with blue ink marks on the desk.
Zach glanced at it and called Roy over. This fax is for him.
The ancestors of the Tsimixi family in the North Kingdom reported the progress of the soul expansion and clearing of Tsimixi in the North Kingdom. Somewhat bloody
Craig relied on Zach's father's eyes to establish the new Tsimich clan in the North Kingdom, just like the real Toledo. When political relations penetrated, the new Tsmish clan was also 'contaminated' by politics, so Because of the history of the Secret Alliance, there were Zmichs who hated Toledo, the same Zmichs who used soul expansion to attack Zach.
Ever since Craig reached a consensus with Zach on the federal side, those Zmich who threatened the federal vampires could no longer stay. Rather than removing soul bloat, Bob and Craig are doing political cleansing. Craig no longer has the eyes of the Toledo ancestor, but he has the top power Bob who truly belongs to Zmich.
This cleansing was filled with blood, corpses, and severed limbs.
Reutzmich had also just returned to Grande, and he seemed to be in a good mood when he was called over by Zach. He should have done something worthwhile with Corden, but after looking at Zach's office for a while, My whole body felt bad, "What a waste!" I kept saying these words from time to time.
Zach didn't ask any more questions because he knew that Reutzmich, who once controlled the federal military industry, had a "collusion" with the federal military and was hidden in the international situation with certain forces in the North.
We know two facts about this. One is that James' wife, reporter Kate, has evidence of military smuggling committed by her legal father, General Lance. The second is that Reutzmich took revenge on Zach when he voted in the Barton mayoral election after getting the method of soul expansion from the North Country.
It is estimated that Craig deliberately took the lead in bloodbathing some of Reutzmich's former contacts in the Northland. He was really determined to cut off all ties between his father, Bob, and the Federation.
Duluo Roy was cursing in the office that something was wasted. Zach collected a package at Grande's door.
It wasn't a package that came through the federal mail system. It was from the shelter in Newton. Harrison received a body sent by aliens from other places... for Lily.
Zach's original intention was to put the ghoul's food in the basement for Lily to eat, but Lily opened the package directly and dragged half of the body to the kitchen in front of her 'daughter' Nana.
'Bang! boom! Click! 'Chop it into small portions, put it on a dinner plate, and sit at the table with Nana.
A little human girl was picking at green peppers and cauliflower with disgust on this side of the table, and a ghoul was holding a knife and fork and consuming the raw meat on the plate...
A lot of strange things happen in Grande, this is... the new lower limit.
It was Benjamin's rest time. Mokawi finished his commission and came over to see Adam, and brought Benjamin a commission by the way. Zach, who had no intention of inquiring, was going to explain to Hank and Winston the situation of the origin of vampires. Zach's information was four centuries out of date. Yes, Zach just wanted to avoid Mokavi.
"Don't bother, come with me." Benjamin put Zach into the car.
The commission actually came from one of Zach's great-grandsons... a descendant of the 'General' descendants.
Zach was in the passenger seat, listening to the news on the radio at this time and reading the commissioned information.
The content in the news is very disrespectful to Zach, "...the weather is getting hotter and hotter. We remind new parents to pay attention to the safety of their children. When leaving your new family members alone in the car, , be sure to pay attention to ventilation. Something happened on Lister Street today... "
Zach raised his hand and turned off the radio, facing Benjamin's sidelong glance: "Is this an informant placed by the General in Aix's security?" He flipped through the commission information.
Benjamin did not answer. The answers were all in the entrustment information.
Zach spoke just to ease the embarrassment caused by the news, "Mainly responsible for providing home-level security services in the southeast..." Zach raised his eyebrows and continued, "There are individual republican communities in the southeast. Spreading news about alien races..." The eyebrows were raised higher and higher, "Increasing the client's workload for no reason..." The last two eyebrows were raised, "The address is..." Zach did not repeat the address on the document but, "No. safe house.”
Benjamin's thoughts were caught, "What?"
Zach closed the commission information. Zach followed Benjamin on a commission trip once. Remember, the time when Benjamin accidentally ate Xiaobai. At that time, Benjamin told Zach that the way our firm worked was that Benjamin would go, Benjamin would solve the matter, and Benjamin would end the commission. And Zach's 'sloppiness' are completely two extremes.
So Zach asked, "What do you do with this commission?"
Benjamin glanced sideways at Zach. It was not for no reason that he pulled Zach along. The client who came out with him had the blood of Toledo. He was a subordinate of the 'General'. The first person in line for this commission was obviously the client. The place where I work is Aix Security, and then 'General'. Based on the current relationship between 'General' and Zach, it has been redefined. If the first two picks cannot be resolved, it will eventually fall to Zach. But the fact is that this incident turned into a commission and fell into Zumen Firm. Benjamin was also wondering what the client was thinking...
To be honest, if Benjamin hadn't rested in Grande, he would never have accepted such a commission and would have sent people directly to Grande to find their 'master'.
but…
Who got this commission? By the way~ It's Mokawi~ Mokawi probably happily accepted the request when he saw that the client was a descendant of Toledo... Because Mokawi is very obsessed with 'helping' Toledo. Forget it, the quotation marks can go there, Mokawi really wants to help Toledo, who gave her everything.
"The purpose of the Ancestors Firm is to solve the troubles encountered in the lives of alien races." Benjamin likes to show off the differences between himself and Zach. After all, facts have proven that Zach will only bring more trouble to all living creatures, and even more. The complicated situation is even more... "So, obviously the human beings at this address spreading alien news have caused trouble to the client." stabbed Zach, "Toledo obviously can't solve the problem of letting this trust go to me, then. "After a pause, "The commission to deal with this troublemaker is over."
It was exactly as Zach expected. Benjamin wouldn't care to deal with a human who couldn't control his mouth. The solution here should not be narrowly defined as killing. Especially for Benjamin. He can leave "shallow" tooth marks on you, and then play catch-up game with you under the night during the next full moon, and then in the early morning after the full moon, in the wilderness where you have nothing. Wake up, when you are literally at your most vulnerable, and use Alpha’s method to teach you how to be a human being for the remaining 29 days of each month!
Zach took a long, anthropomorphic breath and said, "This human being who caused trouble is Arthur, the human being that Thomas fell in love with during his lifetime."
Benjamin only cared about one thing, "Still human." That was to confirm that he had not turned into a Gangero, and that he was still within the service scope of the Ancestors Firm.
"Still human." Zach nodded, "But this address, the apartment where Arthur lives, is Nuo's safe house. This Arthur is Nuo's special purpose..." Zach didn't think Nuo, who acted as a motive to please vampires, was wrong. Respecting Arthur's free will, therefore, "detained there."
Zach glanced at Benjamin, "I have been to this safe house. Although I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, this safe house is definitely an absolute refuge prepared for myself by Nuo Hao under the influence of the Charming Eyes. It completely blocks my perception." What Zach wanted to express was that Benjamin could not break through violently with the extraordinary methods of aliens. "Benjamin, I have taught the 'General' the Eyes of Charm. If this matter was easy to solve, it would not have ended up with you." ." Not only violence is not enough, Toledo's Charming Eyes, a flexible killing weapon, can't solve it either.
After Benjamin was quiet for a while, he spoke, "No's safe house, right?" There was no clear turn on Route 27, but Zach already knew that Benjamin Navigation had changed from the entrusted location in the southeast to No's in the Noel Beach community. s home.
This change of destination makes no sense.
The journey was still going on for a while, and Zach was not in a hurry to stop anything, "Benjamin, I think it's better for you to turn down this commission. Nuo keeps this person because he has his own plans." More importantly, "I allow Nuo to keep this person." This person also has my own plans."
Arthur originally ran away from Zach. Although Zach just didn't know who to help between Gangluo and Rimel at the time, the incident at the seaside park caused by Arthur later intensified the situation. The conflict between Gangro and Rimmer ultimately directly led to Gangro being injured and abandoned by Zach and 'died' in Grandri.
Even with Benjamin's logical ability, he knew that Zach could not be "guilty". The reason why Benjamin gave up the commission was to save this human being. Ganggro had disappeared and no longer existed, and compensation was meaningless (this is based on the fact that Benjamin did not know that Zach (On the premise that there is Thomas' blood).
So Benjamin was very direct, "What do you want to keep this person for?" Benjamin had his own logic, which was quite reasonable, "Give it to James?"
The case in Seaside Park has not been solved, right? Strictly speaking, Arthur's two companions were just troublemakers in the 0711 Pharmacy, and it does not count, because neither Smith nor the city government can publicly admit that the 0711 Pharmacy was infiltrated by the illegal smuggling drug business. Got it!
Zach shook his head directly, "I will give James something, but not Arthur. Regarding Arthur, I have my own plans." Looking at Benjamin, "Don't ask."
"So I should set the precedent for our ancestors' offices to shirk the commission because of your few words?" Benjamin laughed angrily, "Haha, this commission was handed over by your descendants (descendants of descendants' descendants). Zach, I’m beginning to think that this is because you started targeting me, Lord Barton, after you took over Barton.”
Let Lord Barton's reputation be damaged.
Of course this is a joke.
But after Zach heard this, he actually blinked, as if he was reminded and approved of this method.
Noticing Zach's reaction, Benjamin slapped Zach on the chest with his backhand.
Amidst the dull sound, Zach covered his chest with one hand and groped for his snack jar Benjamin with the other hand without mercy.
Benjamin's speed was not very fast, but in the evening when there was little traffic in the South District, he drove to the junction of the North and South Districts on Highway 27. While Zach was emptying the snack can, Benjamin slowed down, and after a while, he stopped directly on the outermost entrance street of the southeast.
Although he didn't speak, Zach knew that Benjamin was not acting out of childishness. Even though they gave up the previously decided destination of Nuo's home, they did not drive directly into the southeast to complete the commission.
In the quiet car, Zach put the snack can back into his pocket, "I know that Nuo is trying to use this Arthur to cause trouble, and I also know that the 'General' is deliberately delaying it. This is probably the reason why this commission fell to you."
Benjamin frowned and clicked his tongue, "Sure enough, it's your Toledo clan's business. No one above cares about it. The people below suffer, and finally it's left to me!"
This description is quite correct. Zach did not deny it, "Why don't we go visit the client and ask for details." Zach's idea was that since Benjamin was unwilling to set a precedent for shirking the commission, the commission must be resolved. It’s just that the method of directly prescribing the right medicine will not work, and we can only treat the symptoms.
"The Toledo who was guarding Aix?"
Zach nodded and looked at the time, "If we go now, we should be able to catch people who have just gotten off work."
Benjamin shook his head, but he restarted the car, entered the southeast, and drove directly in the direction of Aix Security Company.
Halfway through the drive, Zach patted Benjamin and said, "I won't go with you. I don't plan to remember the name of a fourth-generation Toledo descendant (counting Zach as the Toledo ancestor). "Well…
Benjamin really slowed down the car. This was purely out of consideration for Zach. No high-ranking vampire would personally deal with life problems for his great-grandson. Too... shameless.
"Then what are you going to do? Go find Nuo and find out?"
Zach shook his head, "I don't want to contact Nuo now, and it's best for you not to either. Let this matter remain between Nuo and 'General'."
Benjamin understood what Zach said. After all, everyone had been in a gray professional circle and understood each other's professional ethics.
Zach pushed the car door, "I'm going to the safe house to conduct an on-the-spot investigation. Aix security may not tell you everything. I'll go directly to see it, and then we'll..." Zach had already gotten out of the car. Looking around, there was only one place left that he and Benjamin were familiar with in the southeast: "Meet downstairs in Brian's old unit."
Benjamin has no problem with this meeting place, but, "I can't go to Nuo's safe house to find you?"
"I'd better hold the client back first." Give Benjamin a smile, "I'm afraid you'll be impulsive when you arrive at the scene, so I'll serve as your subordinate, so you don't get close to the client's place (safe house). We're here Discuss other places, you give the instructions and I will execute them~"
"I won't pay you wages." Benjamin cares about money so much that he emphasizes it every time he makes a commission.
"I'll give you the Grand Brothers discount, for free."
Benjamin was satisfied, the car started again and drove away.
