"Black fire?"
Benjamin is back, Mockawi and Briar are playing with the baby, and only Benjamin is concerned about the sudden disappearance of one of his employees.
"Puff~" Zach opened his hand to express the sudden appearance of black fire. "Wow~" Zach closed his hand to express the black fire surrounding Maitreya. "Whoops~" Zach He spread his hands and said, "The man and the fire are gone."
Benjamin looked at Zach, just looking at him, looking at... Then, "What are you doing here?" He gave up the unsolvable topic and started another one.
Zach pulled Benjamin and said, "Let's go to your office and talk." This was a sign of Zach's seriousness. Then... There is no need to repeat the entire topic. I have already explained it clearly before. I will only mention a small detail here.
When Zach said that he was very concerned that the alien information in the secret room of the city government would fall into the hands of others in the future, Benjamin raised his eyebrows and showed an expression of "I see."
Zach naturally asked why Benjamin had this reaction.
Benjamin didn’t hide anything. He said, “When I first started working in Zuzu Firm, I asked Anthony what he wanted these things for. They were all minor players who didn’t dare to do anything excessive in the city, so they entrusted me with them. Why should you pay attention?”
"How did Anthony answer?"
"He said that those little characters don't dare to mess around in the city because of you and me, not because of him. What he needs the aliens to fear are the human leaders of the city. Human beings can never compare to these aliens in terms of personal attributes. They can only start from Collate information from this intelligence to gain the advantage of suppressing foreign races.”
After Zach heard this, he sincerely praised Anthony. He was worthy of being a human being that Zach liked, "Good plan."
Benjamin: "I realize now that the human rulers Anthony is talking about are not just him, but like you said, all the people who sit in the position of Mayor Barton."
Zach naturally advanced, "Yes, you and I are friends with Anthony now, and our relationship with James..." Zach shrugged, needless to say, everyone knew, "So we can think that we can do it in Barton." There is a long period of 'comfortable' time. But Benjamin, do we want to establish a personal relationship with every human who becomes Barton's leader? Or is it a friendly relationship of mutual appreciation?" Zach shook his head, "Even if I am Toledo , I like to build relationships with people, and I don’t want to make this guarantee.”
"Not to mention me." Benjamin and Zach have reached a consensus on this matter, which is quite rare.
End of details.
With Benjamin's consensus, Zach doesn't have to worry about the 'space' he can operate when the open river and the dark river intersect in the future~
Instruct Benjamin to keep reporting the aliens' movements to Anthony normally in the future, not to make Anthony suspicious, and if possible, try to give Benjamin priority in future commissions related to alien security, creating the situation that Zach wants: let the two The confluence of the rivers is exposed as early as possible.
Then, Zach helped Benjamin sort out the recent commissions from the Ancestors Office. The original intention was naturally to increase the number of commissions related to alien security.
The Ancestors Firm, which aims to help aliens live a normal life, has really received many related commissions.
For example, the Republic restaurant that I frequented suddenly poisoned aliens. For example, the vampire employees in Aix Security experienced life threats every time they went to supervise construction... Even the wizard ghost of Pai Siying successfully found someone in the southeast who was willing to worship him. A republican family can no longer enter other people’s homes...
This process is boring, a bit like watching the trivial matters of daily necessities for thousands of households.
Zach and Benjamin's patience was worn away by these boring little things. Suddenly, Benjamin said: "I won't organize it anymore. I will just put such commissions in front of me in the future."
Zach agreed and looked at the time. It was enough. Annabell should have fully felt that he didn't want to pay attention to her.
"Tell the Countess when you go back." This is what Benjamin wanted to say, "Next time she wants to eat something, remember to finish it and don't miss it while eating..."
Zach watched Benjamin say these words as he took the baby Adam.
"Leaking a way to get revenge on others." Benjamin said expressionlessly, "This time I accepted the commission from the good citizen Barton (Mollman) and helped her deal with the aftermath. Next time, I won't wipe her buttocks. Yes, there are many alien races in Barton that need help from our ancestors, and I confirm that Fan Zhuo is not among the alien races that 'need help'."
Whatever.
Zach nodded and returned to Grande.
As soon as Grande returned, he was shocked by... and approached Logan who was resting on the back porch, "What's going on up there?"
On the second floor of the Grande, the laughter of Annabel and the republican girl Vicky competed with each other and came from the window of the entertainment room, telling the world about their joyful mood.
Logan shrugged, probably not caring much, and grabbed Zach before he was about to go upstairs, "Lily and Nana were invited by Mu En to visit the nursery."
Zach gave up the idea of immediately exploring the situation upstairs and faced Logan, "Are you worried?"
Logan was a little hesitant. It was probably because he didn't know whether he should say something or not. However, people can be so pretentious sometimes. When he pulled Zach back, he was destined to say, "Lily is giving Nana arranged life in Barton.”
"Isn't this a matter of course? Grande is not a suitable place for a little girl to grow up after all." Don't talk about Alice, we all know how lucky Alice is to be cheerful. How dare you imagine that you have been educated by the Grande family forever.
"I know, but Lily temporarily chose to stay in Grande because of safety issues." Logan was a little anxious. There may be some mistakes in his expression. I apologize, "If Nana is settled, it means that Lily will also be completely settled. !”
Zach reacted for a while before blinking, "You don't want Lily to settle down in Grandri?"
Logan pursed his lips, obviously making up his mind, "I don't want to!"
"Uh, why?" Zach didn't understand. Didn't Logan bring Lily to Grande on his own initiative
Rogan gave his reasons
"I'm still human now, and I don't want her to see my transformation process!"
"Wait a minute, have you decided what kind of alien you want to be?"
"No! That's the problem, I can feel that she wants me to be a certain alien, but I don't want to! I don't want to be stared at by her!"
Zach could hardly keep up, "Slow down, uh... first tell me what Lily wants you to be?"
"vampire!"
"Oh." The answer seemed unsurprising, "And you don't want to."
"What do I see around you and the Sabbat now? I know vampires have their own problems, big problems!"
Not bad, in line with Logan's personal style of always observing quietly and then thinking about himself.
"Yes." Zach smiled and nodded. The immortality of a vampire may be able to deceive ignorant people, but for a well-informed human like Logan, it may not have any appeal.
Logan's problem is actually, "You don't want to bear the pressure of being pushed in a certain direction. This is your own decision, and you want to be free to choose."
Logan nodded, and after receiving Zach's understanding, he relaxed a lot, "If Lily settles down, I won't be able to choose freely. No matter what she will use, vampires are still the most superior alien race in this country." Race came to convince me, and all my experiences happened to be her arguments to convince me. I..." I shook my head.
Can you feel this man's helplessness
"My only reason is that I give up hopeless human life. (Summary: The reason Logan became an alien is because he couldn't see that as an ex-convict in the Grand Halfway House, he had no role in human society. Any hope in life.), not to enter another race that will be entangled in 'big problems' forever." Logan, "My personal self-interested thoughts cannot speak to her objective facts."
Zach scratched his head and said, "Let me think about it and try to help you."
"Thanks, Zack."
Zach waved his hand and went upstairs.
