If you try to reach a consensus with a person through dialogue, and the other person tries to kill you and refuses to answer your questions, then you should realize that the dialogue cannot continue.
Attorney Harvey had this realization, so he decided to leave Ford Funeral Home.
Zach had nothing to say to Harvey, but Zach expected that after Harvey returned to Allen Funeral and reported what happened here to Nenad, Nenad would come to Zach himself.
Just wait.
Zach had no intention of spending time with Ford here, and told Ford, "I hope you know what you are doing." Then he left and returned to the place where he was separated from Kate. Zach didn't expect Kate to still be waiting for him, but after all, she came out with Zach, and Zach felt that he should go over and take a look.
As expected, Kate had disappeared, and waiting there was Bumi in the hood.
Just in time, it also saves Zach from going to Bumi, "Ford's robbery." Zach was very direct.
Bumi was also sensible. He had Ford's gun in one hand and the bullet fired from the gun in the other. A severely deformed silver bullet lay in Bumi's palm, which was padded with a handkerchief.
Zach's brows furrowed, "Who is on the other side of the phone?" Zach had no expectations for the answer to this question. In this world, I don't have the guts to dare to encourage a human being to sneak attack on a vampire... there are too many creatures. Who knows who poor Ford was taken advantage of. The follow-up to this question is more important: What did he say to Ford? '
But Zach miscalculated.
Bumi's answer was, "Hamilton Lesembre."
Zach shook his head after a brief daze, silently sighing in his heart, "Hamilton, oh Hamilton." 'Then, to Bumi, "What did he say to Ford?"
Bumi gave up, deliberately pursed his lips, and took back the gun and bullets shown to Zach. This action meant that Nofele was not prepared to let Zach interfere with Ford's acquisition of weapons against vampires. It's probably a wise decision, Zach's 'old love' for Ford is quite a hindrance.
Zach was a little impatient and asked again, "What did Hamilton say to Ford?"
Bumi spoke, "I didn't say anything." It was obvious that he still didn't want to say anything.
Zach looked at Bumi, not sure what Bumi was doing. If he really didn't want to answer Zach's question, he shouldn't have waited for him here! Now that Bumi is here, he shouldn't have the chance to ask half of Zach's questions!
Bumi watched Zach's patience disappear. The specific manifestation was that the whites of Zach's eyes were slowly covered with red bloodshot eyes. When the red completely covers Zach's eyes, Bumi won't be able to hide anything.
Of course, Zach didn't want to go that far, so it was just an 'attitude'.
Bumi succumbed to this attitude, but felt it wasn't worth it, "Okay, I'll tell you, but you'll be disappointed." Hamilton didn't say anything at all, he just asked Ford who it was, and after knowing it wasn't a vampire, he told Ford left it to his own devices."
Zach's eyes had returned to normal, and he turned his head sideways, not wanting to speak. Zach was indeed disappointed, two things
One, Hamilton is indeed corrupted by hatred, and he wants to kill vampires. During the long time that Hamilton was still living in Allen's funeral, how much energy did Zach spend to guide and broaden the worldview of this third-generation Lesembra? All those efforts were washed away like shit in the toilet!
Second, Ford made his own decision to kill. The only white lotus in the funeral industry, an industry that has suffered so much stigma and injustice, allowed itself to be buried by the filth thrown at it by others.
"I told you." Bumi raised his hand and patted Zach on the shoulder. This is a true friend. He knows Toledo too well. Then, "I shouldn't delay here anymore, I have to continue to follow Harvey..." Bumi glanced at Zach tentatively, "Kate said you guessed that Sibella was going to ask Harvey for Indian legal protection. matter."
Zach put down his disappointment and said, "Did I guess it right?"
"You guessed it." Seeing that Zach's mood had adjusted, Bumi raised his thumbs, "But don't worry, we are not planning to promote anything in Barton. We just want to use this lawyer's knowledge to launch a voice in Barton. We are just people, letting out the information that Indian culture needs to be protected." Bumi smiled, "We don't want to become a movement that causes social unrest like the Sabbat society in the west. Civilians don't need to participate. We All we need is someone who can speak on behalf of the Indians to negotiate with the government~"
Zach raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment along with Bumi's words, and nodded, "Very good." Zach was very pleased that Sibella and Nofeile had considered Barton's situation. What's even more rare is that they Still learning from others’ experiences
Although no one in Barton actually participated in the anti-alien movement of the Western Sabbat Society, everyone could see a key point. The reason why the basic structure of Sabbat society was shaken by this anti-alien movement is that this so-called anti-alien movement could not be resolved within the upper class of society under the control of the Sabbat and involved the participation of civilians. And once civilians take to the streets, no matter how much power the upper class of society has in their hands, they cannot suppress them.
You all understand why the upper echelons of Sabbat society did not suppress the anti-alien actions of the civilian class, right? The relationship between the upper echelons of the Sabbat, alien races, and humans was disrupted. Don't forget who was the first person to refuse to buy vampire blood on behalf of humans, thus severing the political ties between humans and Sabbat vampires. It was James' father, General Lance. And who caused it all
It was the Toledo standing in front of Bumi.
So strictly speaking, Zach was wrong. Sibella and Novel did not learn anything from the social failure of the Sabbat. They just learned something from Zach.
But this is not something that needs special clarification. Bumi accepted Zach's approval, "I should go back as soon as possible and continue to follow Harvey, and before that, I should also report the situation at Ford to Dora. Ford needs to send a few people to keep an eye on it."
Zach continued to agree. Since Bumi had previously expressed his attitude that he did not want Zach to interfere, there was no need for Zach to force it. After all, what could Zach do? Stay here at Ford, why don't you go home? ? Well.
Having said all that needed to be said, Bumi took a step back, half of her body already disappearing into the shadows, "Oh, by the way, Kate's eavesdropping device has been returned to her."
Zach nodded, "Has she come home?" He made a ceremonial confirmation of Kate's safety.
"Oh!" Bumi was already out of the shadow. "She must have gone to Newton to find the black witch."
"What?" Zach grabbed Bumi back, who was about to completely disappear into the shadows. "What is she doing in Newton?"
Zach was a little impatient and ignored the important point of the black witch.
Bumi blinked, "She said you probably have nothing to see here. She will look for you when the matter can be investigated. Now she is going to Newton to follow up on the Newton Demon incident."
"She's alone?" Zach was really speechless, thinking to himself. Kate said when she went out with herself that she wanted to follow Zach to discover new news events in real time. The follow-up to those events that had already happened. Kate didn't need Zach, she could follow up on her own.
Zach paid too much attention to Pace Ying and West End News (Roy and Nick) who gave him the inside information, and ignored the Newton Demon incident which was perfectly written and did not require his own opinion!
The current situation is obviously that Kate has judged that the new news incident encountered by Zach is not suitable for her to continue to participate, at least at this stage. So he left Zach alone to do a single job, and this job was not to go to Paisley and the West End where Zach could confirm that Kate was safe, but to Newton, eh.
Originally, there was no problem with this development. We are all mature-minded adults, and everyone has a sense of responsibility for their own actions. However, a police detective who saw his wife for the last time would not be so mature.
James only knew that his wife was with Zach before he left home.
We all know how much James loves to pin the blame on Zach!
"Don't worry about anything." Bumi was even more speechless, pushing away Zach's hand that grabbed her, "Isn't Kate friends with Yuehua Baiying? She is probably much safer in Newton than she is in Barton."
Uh... Zach blinked, it seemed that was indeed the case.
Zach gave Bumi an apologetic look and helped Bumi smooth out his wrinkled clothes, "It's okay. You can go and do your work."
Bumi curled her lips and disappeared into the shadows.
Zach stood there for a while and estimated that lawyer Harvey would go to Allen's funeral to report to Ford first, and then Nenad would go to Grande to find his own time. Zach should still have some free time of his own now.
go home? Well, I didn't expect Grande to be very busy today, with intensive funeral arrangements. This is not the first time that Zach, the boss of Grande, has come out to Grande when he has work. Annabel wants to establish a foothold in Grande so much, so let's get used to Grande's 'atmosphere'~
After thinking about it for a while, Zach headed southeast.
It’s rare to have time that belongs entirely to Zach. It would be a waste if Zach doesn’t do something that only he knows~
Zach avoided the 'General' and Ax security and came to Nuo's safe house.
Not long ago, Zach confirmed that the gods of the Republic of Heaven would not give up the key to the door of heaven easily, so it is reasonable that Zach needs to 'dispose' of Thomas Gunn before his contact with the gods of the Republic becomes more frequent. The blood of Gro is the only vampire bloodline that still holds the key to the door to heaven!
So how to 'process' this blood
Didn't Thomas already make a choice? This guy who foresaw the end of Gangaro's bloodline and decided to change the definition of Gangaro has already chosen the person who will inherit his blood. This object is behind the door where Zach is standing.
Zach didn't knock or ring the doorbell, not wanting to touch the safe house that had sparked a 'trend' among Republicans in the Southeast demanding new security services (for interracial security). Zach wouldn't have the masochism to touch any of this. anything for an apartment.
Zach stood at the door for a while, frowned and hesitated, then said loudly, "Arthur!"
In the corridor of the unit building, a few doors opened, and republican faces poked out from the cracks in the doors, staring at Zach.
"I'm looking for people who live here." Zach explained to a few people who did not show friendly faces.
Not smooth, but full of displeasure, "The doorbell is there! Can't you see it?!"
Zach shrugged, "I don't want to touch that thing. I'm a vampire. I might get hurt."
Bang bang bang! All the doors were closed in the owner's eyes, and the effect was superb.
Zach continued to shout twice, and no one looked around to disturb him anymore. "Republicans, let's be realistic~"
Ha, Zach doesn’t need to hide anything here, does he? These republicans all know what vampires are. The southeast of Barton may be the only place where Zach can show his true race casually, and no one will take a second look. ~
To be honest, this feels quite amazing. It is different from the feeling of the Sabbat. In the Sabbat, any vampire is willing to show his vampire identity because the vampire identity has privileges. Southeast of Barton? There is no special privilege, only the straightforward "I won't mess with you, don't mess with me." None of those Republicans who are too lazy to care about Zach is willing to come out and ring the doorbell for Zach, right? Fantastic feeling.
Finally, after several calls, there was movement behind the door.
Zach heard it very hard. The wall material of this apartment blocked the vampire's senses. Zach was now just like an ordinary human, or even worse. There was no way to tell what was going on behind the door.
"I'm Zachary Grande, you remember who I am."
Zach heard a noise from behind the door, but Zach couldn't hear what it was and could only hope that the other party could hear his voice.
"I'm thinking about getting you out, but I don't want to do it through No." These are Zach's true words. Although he didn't want to admit it, Zach and No's friendship had turned into something that made Zach uncomfortable.
Zach continued, "I have a rough plan that needs to be perfected and needs your cooperation." Zach paused for a while, trying to hear the reaction behind the door, but failed.
Zach pursed his lips. This kind of communication was not the way to go. He shook his head, "Anyway, I just came to inform you. Please be mentally prepared. The next time I come, I will bring someone who can communicate. We need to have a good chat." Let’s talk.” Zach paused again, “If you agree, knock once; if you don’t, knock twice.”
Zach actually doesn't care whether the other party agrees. No matter what Arthur is thinking, he is Thomas's intended descendant, and Zach will only follow Thomas' will!
Therefore, this request is actually just to confirm that the other party heard what you said.
There was a dull 'bang'.
confirmed. Zach nodded, "Copy that, the time of my coming next time is uncertain. In short, prepare yourself mentally." Zach didn't think Arthur, who was essentially imprisoned here by No, could make any physical preparations.
There was another dull 'bang'. Zach was very satisfied, "That's it, bye." He turned and left. It was time to go home. It would be bad to keep Nenad waiting.
