It was the return trip with Benjamin driving, Zach sitting in the passenger seat, and Mrs. Sheila's body in the back.
The silence in the car was eerily quiet, and the atmosphere was so bad that neither Zach nor Benjamin wanted to make any positive attempts to deal with this bad situation between brothers, and allowed the atmosphere to accumulate and ferment.
There is nothing to whitewash, let’s talk about it in two parts, starting with Zach
Zach knew that Benjamin would not send him back to Grande, but would instead take him to the Ancestors Office for 'house arrest'. Because releasing Zach back to Grande would give the Sabbat vampires in Grande an opportunity to interfere with the Ancestors' firm's commission.
Everyone must understand that the attitudes of the Ancestors Office and the Sabbat society towards the life needs of aliens are in principle conflict!
The Zumen firm treats foreigners as customers, service objects, and meets their needs. The Sabbat treats foreigners as labor value, labels them, and exploits them at a price.
The frequency of discord between Benjamin and Zach is just a 'brotherly issue' between him and Zach. Once it expands to the issue of principles for treating aliens, well, this matter cannot end well.
Don’t think Benjamin is too stupid. Benjamin has never been ambiguous when it comes to upholding the principles of his firm. For example, he has never done anything for Zack for free.
Zach deeply understood this principle of Benjamin, so he knew that he would be under 'house arrest' and did not want to make any unnecessary resistance. Everyone knows that Zach and Benjamin are not on the same level of power now. Resistance and luck are meaningless. Zach taking the initiative to give Benjamin his head is the best choice. At least the scene will not be too ugly. Otherwise, what can I say about Zach? cunning!
Finished talking about Zach, talking about Benjamin
Zach is not the only one who is aware. Benjamin also knew very well that Zach’s suggestion was the best solution to Sheila’s deathbed commission. Mokawi is the only one who can shut everyone up. The only drawback was that it might threaten the personal lives of Benjamin and Mokawi.
And this 'private' problem can only be solved privately. This means that Benjamin will have a heart-to-heart discussion with Mokavi about the future development of their marriage in front of Zach, and ultimately decide which is more important, the commission from our firm or his own married life.
And in front of Zach, Toledo, exposing his personal life issues is the last thing Benjamin wants.
Even just imagining that Zach was squinting next to him when he was having a serious discussion with Mokavi, this scene gave Benjamin goosebumps all over his body...
Just as Zach understands Benjamin's principles, Benjamin understands Zachary Toledo too well. This brother would put on a mask of "I am a gentleman and don't make any comments", and then mentally comment on the details of Benjamin's and Mokawi's life from head to toe!
This kind of person is the most annoying!
The two brothers in the car at the moment could predict the part that would make them feel aggrieved in the subsequent development of the incident, and they naturally put the responsibility on each other. Therefore, the atmosphere in the car is now like this, with no solution.
Leave the West District and enter the South District.
The atmosphere continued. Both brothers opened the windows on their sides, symbolically letting fresh air flow into the car, and physically dispelling the oppressive atmosphere in the car...
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
This accident happened to Zach.
Zach first felt a feeling that he had never experienced before for no reason, rising from inside his body.
In confusion, Zach only had time to pull back and glance in the direction of Benjamin. Then, Zach opened his mouth, intending to ask, "Did you do something to me?"
But only one word was spoken, "you." Then, the words you were supposed to say were replaced by a large amount of bright red blood rolling up from Zach's body, rushing into his chest, breaking through his throat, and finding the exit!
Benjamin was leaning on the edge of the car window with one hand and controlling the steering wheel with the other. Looking at the road ahead from the corner of his eyes, he saw Zach suddenly turning his head and opening his mouth as if to talk to him. Benjamin was about to speak, too, and said, "Don't talk to me."
But only one word was uttered, "No." Then, the words that should have been spoken afterward were blown away by the wind that was poured into the car as soon as they were sprayed out of Zach's mouth, and they were sprayed in his face. The blood coming over is interrupted!
The car continued to drive forward as usual.
The two people in the car paused for three seconds. Benjamin was the first to move. He raised his hand that was leaning on the car window and wiped away the blood on his face. The wings of his nose twitched during this movement. Then, Benjamin turned his eyes slightly, allowing Zach's still confused and dull face to occupy a little more space in his field of vision, "Your blood smells weird."
Confused about why Zach suddenly vomited blood on his face? Does it make sense? Look at how stupid Zach looks! He doesn't even know why!
Tsk, a vampire vomits blood? If vampires had this physiological function, they wouldn't have to mutilate themselves every time they bleed!
So Benjamin didn't ask this kind of question that at least has no answer for now. What he said was something more constructive. The blood that Zach spit out, not Zach's blood! Don't argue with the conclusion reached by the alpha's nose.
Benjamin's words brought Zach back from his sluggish state.
Zach made a move and reached out to touch Benjamin's bloody face... He put his bloody hand in front of him and said nonsense, "Really, this is not my blood."
A new question arose, one that Benjamin asked, "Whose blood?"
"I... don't know." Zach tilted his head, reached out and wiped his dirty hands on Benjamin...
Under other circumstances, Benjamin might have just slapped Zach's overly 'conscious' hand away. But now, Benjamin just watched Zach rub the blood on himself with his peripheral vision, and calmly said another constructive sentence, "Why don't you take back the blood that came out of your body?"
At Sheila's house, Zach 'taken back' the blood that was going to relieve Sheila's pain, didn't he? Oh, actually speaking of taking it back, it was Benjamin who gave Zach, the vampire, face. No vampire, except for Lesembula who has a serious obsession with blood, would not regard blood that is not the blood of the deceased as dirty!
Vampires will waste their own blood for fighting, but they will never waste food!
"No." Zach had no expression, just covering up his confusion. "Now that he has come out of my body, he probably doesn't want to go back."
Zach's gentlemanly spirit has begun to develop in an absurd direction. Zach even starts to respect the blood's independent consciousness?
Well…
never mind. This accident took up a few minutes of the drive, and then the car became quiet again.
The bad atmosphere before is no longer there, well, it's in a bad way...
Republic.
It was the deepest part of the night. Normally at this time, Eli would be high in the Republic. Now, Eli was not very high. He was standing with Louise, watching a giant wolf-shaped creature tearing paper. of Bruch who imprisoned them.
Eli said to Louise: "I have fought against werewolves many times in the Federation, and my ability to control blood was exposed because of the battle with werewolves. I have to admit that werewolves are very strong, and there is a reason why the Thirteen Clans failed in the colonial war. Yes. But, is this werewolf a little too strong?"
"He is not an ordinary werewolf, he is Alpha, the Death Apostle accidentally created by Barton. The combination of the two most powerful creatures in witchcraft belief except the Banshee." Louise answered, "But he doesn't look like he does now. So strong." Louise frowned, "It feels more like these Bruchs don't know how to fight werewolves. They don't have any common sense about fighting werewolves. They are just giving away heads..." Louise shook her head. "Stop talking about this, Death Apostle Alpha is Papa Midnight's person, so I strongly suggest that we don't discuss the history of hostility between vampires and werewolves now, and let us just keep a grateful heart for him to save us at this moment. How? "
"good suggestion."
The perspective suddenly cuts to the Republic. In fact, it is not to see Louise and Eli. It is just to show the fact that Bruch was massacred by Alpha. From this, we can take a God's perspective to see another story caused by Bruch's massacre. one thing.
Zagel looked at the Bruh clan ancestor who insisted on rushing out of the secret alliance base regardless of Fan Zhuo's stop. He said lightly, "Let him go. The strongest fighting clan of the Thirteen Clans, Bruh should also face him personally." Talk about the werewolf. This is just 'compensation' for Bruch's absence from the battlefield four centuries ago. Papa Midnight wants this to satisfy his innocuous little desire. It doesn't matter~ On the contrary, if Papa Midnight can be made conscious To see how weak his creation, the werewolf, is in the face of the real vampire fighting limit, it will only benefit us at all~"
Louise and Zagel mentioned the same thing about the lack of fighting between Bruh and the werewolves, and I hope you don't ignore it. As for the bifurcation of Louise and Zagel’s conclusions, haha, everyone can experience it.
Then, Zagar lowered his head and looked at the bright red petals of a lotus on his chest that was fading (when Pucci gave Zagar life, a lotus appeared on Zagar's chest), Zagar Er raised his head and looked at Fan Zhuo, who seemed to have been convinced by him, with a smile on his face, "On the contrary, I did feel that I was the real Zachary Toledo just now~ This feeling is so wonderful~ I still Want~"
Fan Zhuo looked at Zagel, the expression on his face that had just been convinced had faded, and he looked down with absolute dignity, "No, the blood I gave you just now was just a reward for you. You want my blood to feel absolutely powerful? Haha , just continue to work hard to serve me and be a dog of the Secret Alliance! If I am happy, maybe I will reward you again one day!"
Zagar had a smile on his lips and lowered his head slightly. It was to obey the other party's dignity, and it was probably the cheapest way to hide his eyes. "Of course, noble Fan Zhuo~"
It’s time to end God’s perspective.
Faded lotus, Fanzhuo's blood, Zagel.
Everyone who was lucky enough to learn about the role of Fanzhuo's blood in Newton's Demon Defense War, have you guessed why Zach from the Federation vomited blood that did not belong to him
Yes, there really is another existence in this world that is competing with Zach for Zach's identity! Not a surname, not a bloodline, not any meaningless names, it is the real Zachary Toledo himself! !
Zagar’s new king’s suit is Zach! The reason he was created! !
But don't worry, it seems that this competitor who is already obsessed with the king's new clothes has now encountered the first big problem Fan Zhuo, and it is not a meal ticket that he can use at will~
No, considering that just one sentence can convince Fanzhuo to let Bruch, the strongest one, leave his side and go to fight Alpha, the Dead Apostle whom no one can guarantee~
This conclusion needs to be revised
Fanzhuo, I don’t have the consciousness to be Zagar’s meal ticket yet~ I just don’t have it yet~~
