In Grande's office, Zach and Saidil sat face to face, and Benjamin stood behind Saidil, holding his shoulders, as if he was guarding Saidil's personal bodyguard. However, Benjamin was not protecting Saidil.
Seidir is in this business, and he knows that Benjamin's behavior has nothing to do with protection. Grande's office has two doors in the east and west directions. This muscular Grande brother (Benjamin) probably just doesn't want to lose sight of one and loses the other. One door missed the other, so I simply stood behind myself. Yes, Sadil knew from the moment he arrived in Grande that he would not be able to leave Grande without giving the two brothers the answers they wanted.
"What do you want?" Akito stopped talking secretly and looked at Zac, "I know you don't need any special security services, so let's be honest, why did you come to me?"
Grande didn't need security, Sadier could conclude from two facts.
First of all, Grande is Barton's earliest gray professional, and is older than his friend Noripate. Sadil was a bit unlucky and missed the opportunity to meet the senior gray professional Hank. Of course, that's not the point right now.
Second, Seidil knew how close Grande's relationship was to the police. From personal experience, remember, Seidir was probably one of the first people in Barton to know that Grande's Zach was helping Barton's star detective James Lance (when something happened at Bishop Manor).
Basically, these two points are also the reasons why Saidil came to Grande. He didn't want to offend Grande. In every sense.
"I wanted to talk to you about No's safe house."
"*." Although it was a curse word, Saidil said it calmly, as if the curse word, which is often used for intense emotions, just accidentally slipped out of his mouth, "Did Nuo tell you?"
"Not really." Zach tilted his head and motioned to Benjamin.
Benjamin took over according to the process planned by Zach before Saidil came, "But this matter does not need to be discussed." One of Zach's strategies for this 'communication' is to once Saidil touches When it came to something Zach didn't want to touch, Benjamin took over the topic and used a tough guy's approach to get the other person's attention. Benjamin looked at Saidil's turned head coldly, "This is about the Aix security under the Falcon family."
Saidil frowned and looked at Benjamin. He closed his eyes for a moment. It was not for any special reason, just a brief expression of emotion. After opening his eyes, he said, "Benjamin Grande, you look like a ruffian and a villain." Don't scare me. I'm not one of those gray professionals around you and Nuo." Looking back at Zach, "I will be easily fooled by someone like you..." He raised his hand and pointed at Zach and Benjamin, "The classic combination of muscle and brains. Scared."
This is not finished. "The simple Falcon family is enough for me to cooperate." Uh...
Zach waved his hand to Benjamin, looking at Saidil's helpless look, he suddenly felt a little funny. A smile spread on his face, "So you know what kind of trouble you are in now?"
"Of course I know." Saidil shook his head not to contradict his own words, but to sigh to himself, "I shouldn't have helped Nuo build that safe house."
Zach said nothing, knowing that after Sadier adjusted his emotions, he would tell his side's perspective in the incident.
Oh, by the way, I want to mention that what Benjamin said just now, Zach and Benjamin will naturally not tell the alien commission of their ancestors office to a human named Saidil. It fits the situation, that is, the people of the West Side will act rudely when they encounter trouble. Rand's commission. So the work troubles of the fourth generation Toledo turned into the family business problems of Falcon, a native of the West Side.
Saidil adjusted his breathing a few times, "Now there are more than a dozen households in the southeast blocking the door of our company every day, asking our company to take care of their security needs. Each of them uses Nuo's safe house as a template." Saidil He looked irritated, "I don't even know where they got the information about the safe house. There's no way Nuo could tell them, eh." He glanced at Zach and said, "Safe house, you know, safe house!"
"I understand." Zach nodded, "Like I said, I know about the safe house, and it's not like Nuo told me."
Saidil tilted his head, still looking irritable, "I also trust Nuo not to talk about this kind of thing everywhere. After thinking about it, it is the Aix security used by the Republicans that made them unhappy." Keep your mouth shut, the following words seem to be his objective comments as a person in the security industry to Aix Security, who is also supervising competitors, "I don't know if Aix Security treats the Republic as a fool. The security protocols they used in the southeast violated at least seven or eight basic human rights laws."
Zach raised his eyebrows and agreed, "There is indeed a lot of surveillance in the southeast."
"Too much." Saidil directly gave the conclusion, "Even if you take into account the environmental relationship in the southeast, it is too much. Living under such so-called 'security', there is no privacy at all. I can confirm that Ike The security records of Si Security Company include all the details of each of his clients' daily itineraries." Saidil continued to shake his head, "This is not security, it is surveillance." Saidil sighed, "And those Republicans , are paying Aix Security to spy on them. That’s just… wrong.”
Zach smiled. I agree with some of what Saidir said. It's a bit stupid for the Republic to pay people to monitor them, because humans are monitored by vampires for free~ Just wait until the Refro clan slowly expands~
Of course, there is no need to speak out Zac’s thoughts for Saidil to listen. What Zac said was, “In your opinion, the dozen or so households of the Republic realized that they were being extorted by the security company in the southeast and turned to you, Saidil Security. A very smart man, right?"
"Isn't it?" He continued to be irritated, "Because Nuo, he is my friend. If it were not for his request, I would not touch the southeast at all. As a result, such a small project for friends became the target of those republicans. sample room!"
Zach looked at Benjamin, who folded his arms and dropped his cold eyes. He also followed Sadier's logic and thought for a moment, looked at each other with Zach, and shrugged.
Saidil's position is already clear
Aix Security actually gave Benjamin the commission because it did not have the support of the Falcon family and was not competing with Saidil. In Saidil's case, it was still a matter of business competition. It's still the kind of passive competition. Both parties are obviously keeping peace with each other and guarding their own customers, but suddenly someone else's customers switch sides. Aix Security felt troublesome, but Sadier Security found it even more troublesome.
While Ike Security used silence to cover up its lack of backers, the door of Saidil Security Company was blocked by a group of Republicans!
This situation gave Zach a slight advantage.
You can tell that Benjamin blamed the Falcon family from the beginning because Zach originally planned to 'remind' Sadier that he must consider the Falcon family if he wanted to do business in the southeast.
There is no need for Zach to 'remind' him now, Saidil knows it himself.
Then the next step. Agreeing that Grande is now working on behalf of the Falcon family, Zach said, "Then can I understand that you, Seidir Security Company, have no intention of accepting the business that the Republic brings to your doorstep, and let Aix provide security?" The company's interests have been harmed." Zach asked the other party to express his position.
Saidil lowered his head and thought for a while, "Yes." It was quite smooth. Then he raised his head and said, "I know that Aix Security must have thought that our Saidil had come up with some security technology, procedures, etc., and wanted you to get information from me." He was right, Zach invited him here. Isn't the reason just to 'customize some special security measures'? This is what Zach is waiting for. Let's listen to what Saidil has to say first, "But since you also know that it is Nuo's safe house." He emphasized, "He Yes, safe house. If you want any information, you might as well go directly to Nuowen."
There is an important intermediate conclusion here, that is, Zach concludes that Sadier Security Company does not know about aliens and does not know the true meaning of safety in Nuo's safe house.
This conclusion is that Zach believes that Nuo can't talk about aliens with unrelated people. Well, it's just like if your friend tells you a secret, you won't tell it, unless you are not friends. Not to mention that Nuo was still afraid of foreign races during the time period under the influence of Charming Eyes.
"The information on Aix Security says that the safe house was built by your people from Saidil. Now you are telling me that you don't even know what your company has installed for your friends. You need me Go find Nuo Wen?"
"Let me tell the truth. I was the agent for Nuo's safe house. Nuo needed people to build it at the time and needed channels to get the 'customized' things he wanted, and I happened to have a company that could help. He does this."
This all depends on Zach's judgment. Yiru Nuo once told Zach that the security at Nuo's home in Noertan was installed by Saidier Company. As a gray professional, Nuo is very good at using his interpersonal relationships. The goal was achieved, but Saidil, a figure who can be regarded as a supplementary function of the maintainer of order (enforcer) in human society, has no way of knowing what the gray professional Nuo is using this security to prevent.
One piece of evidence is Nuo's former maid. Do you still remember that after being involved in several interracial incidents in Nuo's home with complete security measures? Instead, he sent the maid away.
The conclusion is that Nuo made use of Saidil's personal connections very appropriately. He would not ask the other party to do more than was necessary, and would not waste it.
The confirmed news from Saidil at this time made Zach even more sure that Benjamin's commission could be successfully resolved this time. "So, can this agent be transferred to Aix Security? The Falcon family is willing to pay for it." "
Zach thought about it all night. The way to solve the commission involving the God of the Republic in the southeast is to still let Aix Security have the security business of the Republic. Everything in the southeast is still under the control of vampires, so that the Republic can really get it. They pray to God for safety. Zach wants to let the republicans know that even though many alien races in the Federation are unfamiliar, vampires, at least the Toledo vampires in Aix Security, are on the human side.
Saidil frowned and looked at Zach, "Buy it?" He seemed a little confused, "If you ask Nuo, he will probably tell you directly. Why should you buy it from me?"
Tsk. Zach was a little anxious. He really didn't know what the 'agent' in Saidiel's words was, so he anxiously advanced his goal.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? You don't want the money given to you for free." Benjamin said behind Saidil.
"Uh." Saidil looked back at Benjamin and said nothing. He looked back at Zach before speaking, "Is this the compensation Aix Security wants for robbing my company's business before?"
Well... This logic seems to make sense. Zach followed this path and said, "Yes, now that the businesses of Sadier and Aix in Barton are mutually stable, it is best to coexist in a friendly manner. This kind of friendship Better business cooperation than manipulation behind the scenes, isn't it?"
Saidil thought for a while, "Okay, I'm sincere." He waved his hands and started groping on his body without stopping, "After all, you guys took the initiative to negotiate this matter, and it's better to talk about it well than to do it head-on. ." He took out a business card and said, "This person was found by Nuo. He is engaged in security customization. He got all the things Nuo wanted. I heard that he was inspecting Barton recently... "
Zach took the business card, glanced at it, and said with a crooked mouth, "Thank you." Then, he stood up and saw off the guests, "The check from Aix Security will be sent to you tomorrow."
It seemed to end too hastily. Not only was Sadier stunned for a moment, but Benjamin didn't react. He was glared at by Zach before he frowned and opened the door, "Mr. Sadier, stop by Grande's tomb area to take a look." Do you want to know the working status of your employees?"
"No need." Saidil shook his head, "I read the security records every day." Benjamin sent him out.
Not even half a minute later, Benjamin came back and looked at Zach, "What's going on with you?"
Zach directly handed the business card he just accepted to Benjamin, "This is the person who saved your son on Lister Street that day."
Benjamin... took the business card and looked at the name on the card, Martin. Yes, this is the person Zach decided to remember his name and express his gratitude to when we meet again.
"Then I have to go say thank you." Benjamin put away the business card, "You have to go with me."
Zach knew he couldn't escape, so maybe he shouldn't have bothered to remember this name in the first place!
There is obviously something wrong with this logic, but don’t argue with Zach, this is how Zach really feels now.
"Sam, please give Martin's address again."
“Yuri Hotel xxxxx…”
Before going out again.
"I've finished the painting!" Mokawi carried a painting into the office, "Just hang it here~~" Not only did he make a decision without authorization, he also took action.
"Please don't..." Zach closed his mouth because the painting titled "Toledo Holding My Son" was a normal painting. The center of the painting was naturally the baby Adam, sleeping quietly and comfortably. There was no poop or disgusting insect eggs around him, just a stable support for the baby's comfortable environment... a person who looked exactly like Zachary Torrey.
"You paint so fast." Benjamin, who was helping Mokawe straighten the painting, said it. He seemed to have no objection to the content of the painting. He only had questions about Mokawei's extremely unstable painting speed.
"Because I am an artist~~" Mokawei said, "I let my feelings control my brushstrokes~~When I came back to my senses, the painting was already done~~so perfect~~"
After the painting was placed, Benjamin looked at Zach and said, "She is talking about perfection in the painting, not you."
It is necessary. If your wife also drew a picture of a 'perfect other man', you would also say the same to remind that 'perfect' man to respect himself...
