Zach has been having a terrible time these days. On the one hand, he stopped sleeping to prevent Amber from having a wretched habit. This means that Zach’s immortality has been doubled... The owner of the South District Funeral Home, no. Too used to the extra time in these long nights, Zach had nothing to do.
On the other hand, Zach doesn't want to leave Grande because he doesn't want to miss Louise's contact. Naturally out of worry.
It seems that Zagel is not what Zach imagined at all. The Secret Alliance has become a trap for Louise, Toledo, and the Sabbat of the current federation. Zach wanted to remind Louise, but there was no way. Alice, who was in the Republic, didn't dare to reveal anything in front of Louise. What could Zach, a guy far away in the Federation, do
Zach hoped to find out from Louise's unsolicited contact that at least Louise was safe at the moment.
The last reason was that while Zach was waiting in Grandry to wait for Louise's call, he received a call from the middle of the country. It was Oz Kozier.
"My friend, please ask Nick Giovanni to stop chasing me." The mind reader was not willing to waste time at all. "If he continues to chase me, I will have no choice but to hide in the wizard family's territory. I believe this is a terrible situation for everyone.”
It was exactly as Zach predicted. Then Zach could only ask Oz, "Why? Root is dead. You can now return to the Sabbat safely. I promise to give you a different Sabbat."
"Although this proposal sounds very tempting, thank you. Your words can only coax a guy who doesn't understand anything, me? You'd better save it. In addition, I want to remind you that I betrayed the Sabbat once. I I will betray the Sabbat for the second time. If you invite me back as a guest as Zachary Grande, I might still consider it. But, if you invite me back as Zachary Toledo Sabbat, don’t expect anything else.”
Zach reacted for a while before he understood what Oz said, "So there is no special reason why you have been avoiding Nick, just because you don't want to have anything to do with the Sabbat?"
"Otherwise, what else could it be because of?" he asked, adding an impatient statement, "You should understand better than anyone else. The reason why I cooperated with you in Barton at first and betrayed the Sabbat was because of my understanding of Barton's alien race and human society. I'm curious and find it interesting. It was you, Toledo, who showed me that a mixed society of humans and aliens could be like this, completely different from the rules and world view of the Sabbat. You may want to be vain and think that this is the society you created. The relationship has won me over, but I'm sorry, Zach, I can tell you the truth, I am just a scumbag who likes the new and hates the old." Uh... Listen to Oz finish: "Now, listen up Zach, the society of the Sabbat, I Tired of it, I have also experienced Barton's society. At this moment, I am experiencing an alien-human society that is different from the Sabbat and Barton, and I am completely attracted by this new social form. Sabbat? Barton? These 'old' Things have completely lost my interest, and all my thoughts are on this new social form. I will not go anywhere until I fully enjoy the excitement that this new love can give me."
Zach reacted for a while before he understood what Oz meant, "Alien chaos in the middle? Your definition of alien chaos in the middle is a new social form? Uh, Oz, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? Hey, Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach." Oz on the other side of the receiver seemed to be the most helpless guy, "No, it's a vampire, a vampire, a vampire, a vampire. You guys How arrogant. The society of this world is not defined by you vampires. Have you forgotten? When you vampires have not yet found out how to seize social power, how do the creatures in this world survive? Central, now The middle is the normal state of the world! Any capable creature is qualified to sit in the position of city lord and rule a land. This is the middle now, and you call this chaos, just because you only see the secret alliance. After the vampires left, every race in the middle had a chance to compete for the lordship. The city of wizards, the city of werewolves, the city of soul aliens, the city of skinchangers, the city of dead apostles, and even the city of pure humans. What do you think? Is this chaos? I call this, 'beauty', what society should look like in this world that accommodates so many species!"
Zach was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay, you have a point." Discovering the aspects of things and looking at things from multiple angles is Toledo's strength, so Zach can understand what Oz means, but Zach Grams couldn't be objective enough to satisfy Oz on this matter, "Even if you call the society of today's diverse rulers in the middle 'beautiful,' the fact is that the middle is the most unsafe place in the Federation. Regardless. Whether it is the vampire screening of the Sabbat or the activities of hunters and demons in the central part, they are all transmitting the fact that alien battles have been taking place in the central part! Oz, I don’t deny that your mind reading is very powerful, but you also know better than anyone else. How tense are the various forces in the middle. You can despise the arrogance of vampires, but it is also true that only the rule of vampires can deter all alien races. Only vampires can provide safe rule for species in this world!"
"Okay, if you insist on using 'my safety' as your argument, then please answer my following questions: What can stop the internal struggle for power within the Lesembra clan in the Western Sabbat? What will be left to the Sabbat in the future? No matter who wins the power struggle, Lesembra manages it, or Giovanni, who has never taken social responsibility seriously but is now the most powerful? Humph, let's be realistic, I know you We will not stay in the west to restrain these two clans. The Sabbat now has two clan ancestors. One is the Lesenbra clan ancestor who is benefiting from the civil strife in Lesenbra, and the other is Kapa who is rising in the Sabbat. Ancestor of the Dosia clan. And I also heard that you are waiting for the return of the Asamat clan. Huh, the management of the Sabbat clan is not your turn, the Toledo clan ancestor."
Zach covered his head. The ancestor of the Assamite clan... had a headache.
The receiver continued, "You know that I have always called myself a partner of the Sabbat. So tell me, after I return to the Sabbat, which team will I be on? Tell me which clan I am a partner of. Is it safe? Excuse me. What's the difference between this and the ghosts and people in the central part of the country that I saw talking nonsense and talking to people when I saw them? Oh no, there is a difference. I can't stay in a city in the central part any longer. If I change the city, I'm still a strong mind-reader. Man. In the Sabbat of the West, no matter where I hide, I am a weapon that everyone thinks I should belong to them! Zach, Lutre Sembra, who used to be able to control everyone, is dead, and he has no regard for me at all. Good thing! Do you understand?"
Okay, Zach gets it.
Oz's question is not over yet, "If you want me to go back to Barton and be by your side. Then, answer me: What do you expect me to do for you? Deal with God? After you take care of the Holy Lord, you Tori You can no longer suppress your inflated self-confidence and want to attack other gods. Who do you want me to help you deal with? Papa Midnight? Or the gods of the Republic?"
Zach had to defend himself, "Oz, I have to tell you about this, the relationship between Papa Midnight and the God of the Republic..."
Oz didn't even bother to hear Zach say, "I, don't, care."
At this point, both sides of the receiver were silent.
About half a minute later, "Tell Nick to stop following me. There are too many things in this world worth experiencing as a mind reader. I'm tired of your vampire shit, no matter what it is." Oz hung up. Telephone.
So Zach did it.
Nick returned to Grande, and Giovanni questioned Zach's decision-making for the first time, "We need mind readers!" After noticing the changes in Grande, Roy was killing demons in Newton. , Annabell always followed Zach like a ghost behind her, Lily, who was once Root's secretary, was squeezed by Pochquin for 24-hour work every day, and finally, Nick said to Zach, "We need mind readers!! "Obviously, Nick can't even understand what's going on around Zach.
Each of the above factors resulted in Zach's mood never being good for a moment. What's worse is that Adam is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Just this morning, Adam turned over in his crib on his own...
As you all know, this is just the beginning. Then he will crawl around in the crib, then he will grab the railing and climb out of the crib, and then he will wander outside and walk, and again and again. Then he'll start running around, and finally he'll run out of Grande and see the world...
The pressure to change the world…
Damn it. This should be the pressure on Benjamin and Mokawi...
Benjamin walked into Grande and glanced at Zach, who looked gloomy on the back porch, "Very good, you are here, get ready and go to Newton." Benjamin also saw Annabel and Nick at the same time, "You guys too Together."
Zach opened his mouth, but what he wanted to say was stuck in his throat. Is it useful to say it? He, the godfather, forced Zach to take up this responsibility because Benjamin and Mokawe were too self-conscious and knew that they were not capable of fulfilling their responsibilities as parents!
If Zach said it, I'm afraid Benjamin would just say, "What are you complaining about? Find a way to solve it. Isn't this what you are good at?"
Why.
So, what Zach said was, "Your son turned over for the first time today."
The emotionless "Oh." Was it surprising? Benjamin had no idea about this kind of thing. In his mind, it was enough as long as his son was not in danger. Benjamin only saw that Zach didn't move, and even more so Nick and Annabell didn't move, so he impatiently said "Tsk." The angel of Newton and the fantasy man Richie brought a commission at the same time, the devil outside Newton city They're crazy. The aliens in the city can't withstand the demon's attack." Benjamin also paused, "Before Richie came, he visited the black witch community. The black witch confirmed that if we don't do anything, Newton will be here again. Many people will die. This city cannot endure another disaster." This was an emphasis on the seriousness of the matter. "So, Newton needs vampires." He pushed Zach and said, "You go and give the 'General' and Make a call over to Nofeile." Benjamin thought for a moment, "It's best to call Rimel as well."
Zach stood up, but instead of promising Benjamin, he said, "Use the phone number in the showroom." He turned around and went upstairs, "I'm not going, I want to stay in Grande and wait for Louise's call."
Benjamin frowned, and Nick spoke first, "I'll go, at least vampires crushing demons is something I can understand!" This was an obviously angry statement. After saying this, Nick looked at Annabelle, "Fan Zhuo is interested. Do you want to do this kind of physical work?" It felt sarcastic, but it was actually a test.
Nick is not a guy like Roy who has a historical grudge against Annabelle. As one of the vampires who was 'conquered' by Zach and took the initiative to touch Zach, Nick retains the pride that he and Zach have the most equal relationship. Nick always believed that while maintaining his friendship with Zach, he did not delay his own business. Right, Nick only protects his interests as a part of the Sabbat, and all the reminiscences with Zach are 'by the way'.
That was enough to differentiate Nick from all the other vampires who came to Zach's side.
But Nick doesn't dare to mess with Annabell because she is Fanzhuo. The only way to test this is to use this recognized jealousy as a taunt.
Annabell smiled at Nick. In fact, all of Annabell's expressions towards Nick since Nick came back were replicas of this smile at this time.
Do you still remember that Nick was harassed by Mokawei for a period of time when he was in Grande, because Mokawei sensed how close Nick was to the perfect body.
Annabelle's smile at Nick was a reason. Annabell said with a smile, "I won't go. If my current soul is accidentally taken away by the devil, I will become a threat to everyone." Annabell didn't seem to mind revealing this about Fanzhuo's downgrade. Flawed intelligence, "But I can still help." Annabel took out a metal bottle from somewhere and threw it to... Benjamin, "My blood, if any vampire is tired, Alpha, you will distribute it."
After Benjamin caught the blood tank, he threw it to Nick and called out to the streets of Newton, "You go and meet Roy. After that, if Rimel and Nofele arrive, you two will be responsible for taking command. If there is any problem, What?"
Commanding two old divisions of the Secret Alliance? How could Nick have a problem? Take Fanzhuo's blood and act immediately.
Benjamin glanced at Annabel and then entered the showroom, instructing Logan to make a call.
There are several motivations to illustrate here
The first is the reason why Benjamin doesn’t force Zach to go to Newton. Benjamin is aware of Zach's concerns about Louise's situation. After Zach discovers Papa Midnight's position, Benjamin has to accept the fact that his employee Maitreya is on the opposite side of the world. Therefore, Zach informed Benjamin that it was necessary to make up for the progress, and he could not leave his Grande brothers on the opposite side of the world.
So now Benjamin doesn't have to waste energy to convince Zach and ask Grande's Logan to call someone. Anyway, Grande's name is used, and it makes no difference to Benjamin.
Then, the reason why Annabell threw the blood bottle to Benjamin was because Annabell was trying to please Benjamin.
When Zach discovered Papa's position at midnight, it was Annabelle's tip, right? However, Annabelle was also the guy who stopped Sibella from trusting Ravenci in the 'General' bar in the southeast!
The contradiction lies in the truth about Fanzhuo's complete downgrade: Annabelle revealed to Zach that Xiaobai's real maker was Papa Midnight. So Zach understood that although Papa Midnight was on this side of the world, at the same time, he still played tricks on the 'noble' Fan Zhuo!
Because Annabell loves Zach, she guides Zach to discover the true pattern of the world, but because of her identity as Fanzhuo, she still hates Papa Midnight.
This contradiction is like any unresolved reality. Annabel has felt from every action of Zach that Zach will not understand her or Fan Zhuo, so... the only way to start is with Zach's brother.
Finally, Benjamin threw away Annabelle's blood to Nick. It was Benjamin telling Annabelle, 'Don't mess with me about your problems.' '
Finish. No one has it easy.
