The Grandery is empty, including the living quarters staff, who work in the church or cemetery area. When Zach came back, Grandery was completely quiet, there wasn't even a janitor...
Ah, yes, Sam is at home, plus baby Adam.
After Zach briefly updated Sam on the aftermath of last night, Nenad arrived as expected.
Nenad had never seen Grande being completely empty. When he arrived, he didn't talk about business and just ran to the Grande's living area to wander around.
"Grand's employee loyalty system has been abolished by the city government's halfway house. Do you think I can copy Grand's employee life plan and cultivate employees who are loyal to the Sabbat at Allen Funeral?"
Nenad is good, this is what he should do as the leader of the Sabbat in Barton's 'office'. In contrast, the former Hamilton, well, deserved to be like this.
"Copy it." Of course Zach didn't mind and encouraged, "If you want, I can also introduce you to the contractor who built the Grand Living Area."
"want to!"
Zach returned to the office and turned out Austin's business card and gave it to Nenad.
After Nenad finished the visit, the two of them did not formally go to the office to sit down, but sat down directly on the bench in the back corridor.
Zach won't speak first, it's up to Nenad to explain how he wants to 'play' Ford Funeral.
"I guess the first thing you want to know is how I got attorney Harvey to go talk to Ford on behalf of Allen Funeral Home."
This was a good start, and Zach was indeed curious about it. After all, lawyer Harvey appeared in everyone's view as a lawyer who was the opposite of Grande. Zach's personal evaluation of Harvey has not left Grande. How did Nenad find this person
Nenad looked at Zach and nodded, then scratched his head, "Forget it, let me tell the truth. I didn't look for him, he found me."
Zach raised his eyebrows and looked at Nenad's somewhat... uh, shy expression. "Did he find you?" After thinking about it for a moment, Zach smiled and said, "Isn't it possible that the whole of Barton doesn't need the Ford Funeral Home?" All the ideas were given to you by him, right?"
Do you still remember that phone call a few days ago, when Nainard used an analysis to conclude that Ford Funeral Home had no reason to continue to exist, and there was no way to refute what Zach said.
Nenad nodded and admitted, "It's him."
Zach's smile continued and he waved his hand. There is no need to give all the credit to lawyer Harvey. When Nenad convinced Zach, he used many arguments about vampires and the Sabbat. Zach didn't think Harvey, a human being, knew such a thing. So Nenad also added his own opinions.
So, what Zach needs to know now is why Harvey wants to create a confrontation between Barton Funeral Home. So Zach asked, "What does Harvey want from Barton's funeral business?"
This question is very straightforward, and it sounds very much like it has put the lawyer Harvey in the position of a 'bad guy', who is using Barton's funeral industry to obtain certain private interests.
Nainad did not correct Zach’s question, which probably shows that Harvey is not a human being who can be completely trusted in Nainad’s mind. However, “Honestly, I don’t know what he wants. He is just someone.” Tian suddenly came to the Allen Funeral Home, looked up to me, and said a lot of things that he didn't understand the relationship between the three funeral homes in Barton, and then..." Nenad's face wrinkled, "He said He came into contact with some of Ford's funeral secrets while he was having a legal dispute with Grande."
I have to review it here for you. The summary of the contact between Harvey and Grande is that Harvey represented a group of people who did not want their relatives (patients who signed an organ donation agreement) to become organ resources for certain high-level people in society, and sued Grande. He went to court and tried to frame Grande's loss of the body to divert the hospital's punishment from helping others steal the hospital's assets.
And, the twisted events created the remains that were lost due to this twisted reason. The Grand defendant and Harvey sued Grande, the key was because they intersected with the Xiaobai living corpse transfer business that Ford Funeral was secretly undertaking at the time, and it was lost. of.
It was a mistake, but it was this mistake that allowed Harvey to come into contact with Grande and meet the most unique funeral industry boss in Barton~
Based on the pace Nenad describes now, it must have been after that time that the Harvey lawyer noticed Barton's funeral business.
Still remembering the harmonious contact between Harvey and Zach in that incident, Harvey should not have any ill feelings towards Grande, so
Nainard continued, "Harvey said he never figured out how his client's relatives' remains were lost, so after that job ended, he did some, uh, 'investigation.'"
Zach nodded, and the mess Ford caused naturally led a curious Harvey to walk to Ford!
According to what was eavesdropped at Ford Funeral Home today, Harvey did not whitewash the illegal activities conducted by Ford Funeral Home.
Zach followed this line of thinking, "Isn't this lawyer just trying to seek justice?" Wanting to bring down Ford Funeral Home? To benefit the people? The fact that Zach would ask such a question already shows that Zach does not believe in this inference.
Don’t forget that in the eavesdropped content, Harvey unabashedly suggested that Ford also hire a powerful lawyer, and he and he would tell each other in court about the dirt on the funeral home represented by the other party!
They just want to bring down Ford Funeral, and they are obviously pulling Allen Funeral to accompany them...
Sure enough, Nenad shook his head, curled his lips and glanced at Zach, "Justice? Harvey? He is a lawyer who relies on studying the system to make a living, wants to achieve justice?" He asked sarcastically.
Zach glanced at Nainad, not realizing that Nainad actually had such a strong and malicious bias in the profession of lawyer.
But this prejudice doesn't matter in this case. Harvey is indeed not a typical righteous man. From our contact with Grande, we learned that he would even use the judicial system and the handover process time of civil and criminal cases to create advantages for his clients.
Zach gradually came to the correct inference: "Then, he threatened you."
The Allen funeral industry is not much clean, especially when Mr. Allen could raise funeral costs against mills. Although in the various subsequent industry transactions with Grande, everyone within the funeral industry resolved these previous grievances, but to be honest, once the label of manipulating the industry market is removed, Grande, Ford, Ai Don't forget, the current funeral industry is not backed by the government. Privatized companies control the market, haha, this crime is not a small one. It should also be matched with what Harvey said in Ford's office: The funeral industry is not an industry respected by the public. Judges, juries, and the public will not side with the funeral industry~
Nenad nodded, shook his head again, twitching his lips, and gave Harvey an objective evaluation, "I can't call it a threat, but he did show me a very convincing fact." Nenad looked at it He looked at Zach, "In his personal investigation, the only person who revealed anything was Ford!" The reason for looking at Zach was, "The unfair competition at Allen Funeral Home was in the newspaper news. There is nothing to say, Allen It’s a simple rake! But Grande, in the eyes of Harvey, a professional lawyer, is clean!”
Zach opened his mouth slightly, with a kind smile on his face. That's right, kind.
In most cases, the expression of kindness is to express someone's feelings towards their descendants. But as long as we dig deep into the root of this emotion, we can find that this emotion is actually a kind of gratitude. Be grateful to the world for giving back to yourself.
Well, let's put it this way, when you see the kind smile of a 90-year-old man watching his 9-year-old great-grandson play, you have to understand that he is not involved in his great-grandson's game. He doesn't even know that he is playing. What is the great-grandson playing at
But still, he would smile when he saw his great-grandson having fun. why are you laughing? Because he is grateful that his life has been given back. A 9-year-old child can play happily in front of him.
What Zach shows to the world now is a kind smile. The world gave back to Zach.
Want to be more specific? So let’s be specific.
West Enders gave Zach something back. The government gave Zach something back. The Gray Professionals gave Zach something back. The Enforcers gave Zach something back...
In which of the above areas has Zach not done something 'dirty'? So why couldn't a curious lawyer dig up any dirt on Grande
Ha, because they all gave Zach feedback~Zach worked hard all over the world, and the world gave Zach feedback. So, kind.
Nenad continued, "Harvey said that when he made the choice, he understood that Grande was untouchable, Allen had bad deeds and was easy to control, and Ford was rotten to the core. Then it was simple and clear to him, using Ai Len tackles Ford and then expects Grande to come in at some point and give him a good look at whether Grande is completely 'invulnerable.'"
This is interesting. Because it sounds like Harvey's personal goals are becoming more and more personal, and have nothing to do with justice. He seems to be doing all this just to satisfy his personal thirst for knowledge! He wanted to understand the relationship between the three burials in Barton.
Zach had already expressed his gratitude to the world, retracted his smile, and looked at Nenad, "Since you agreed that he, a human lawyer, would intervene in the internal affairs of our Barton Funeral Industry in this way, I guess, you also have your reasons. "
This is put more gently. This kind of thing is impossible to happen in the Sabbat. How can a human with unknown motives be allowed to influence vampire affairs
As a vampire from the Sabbat, Nenad has been changed a lot by Zach, but this self-esteem problem should not be relaxed.
"One reason is of course what I said on the phone before. It is good for you to go to the west to take over the entire Sabbat funeral industry by uniting the internal unity of the funeral industry in a city in Barton." Nenad's expression became cautious, and his eyes were tentative. Meaning, the speed of speech also slowed down, "Maybe it's just my illusion, but I think that Harvey is very suitable to be a trustee..." Nenad was still timid, and suppressed the specific word that he had spoken, "Vampire" .”
Zach's smile came out again, but since Nenad was cowarded, Zach wouldn't bring it up on purpose. Zach: "I agree."
Nenad was stunned for a moment, "You agree?!"
"Of course I agree. Harvey is very smart, has good mobility, and has a very... special attitude." Zach shrugged. "The only problem is that his stance is too personal, right?"
"Yes!" Nenad certainly affirmed. "Even after something like this happened today (Harvey was almost shot by Ford), I can't understand his true thoughts. I even have some suspicions that he is happy with Barton's three funeral companies. More secrets revealed to satisfy his curiosity!”
Zach nodded. Zach also discovered this. Hey, Ford should also have discovered it. "The disadvantage of being too personal is that no one can control him. It's just like if he takes the initiative to confront Ford in front of you, no One can guarantee that he will suddenly turn around and represent Ford against us."
Harvey, the lawyer, will not put himself in a fixed position to think about problems or act. His only principle is his heart. Er, a 'reliable' batch.
Nenad was nodding vigorously. It was obvious that Nenad had also thought about this issue.
"Then the solution is simple." Zach spread his hands, "Give him a position that cannot be changed. And we know that the only thing in this world that cannot be shaken is~" Zach challenged Nenad He raised his eyebrows.
Nenad answered, "Race!" After all, this was what he proposed~
Nenad seemed to be in a good mood, and it felt good to be recognized by Zach.
But right away. Zach put a damper on Nenad's good mood, "But you have to wait."
Haha, after talking for so long, the two of them were talking about Harvey, and the real business hadn't even begun yet! And now is the best time to start
Zach: "He told you that there was someone else who stopped Ford from killing him."
"Yes! Who is it?" Nenad became serious, "He said there must be someone trained by the military to act so quickly." After a pause, "Oh, by the way, he thinks you also have the military training." Training influence, because Benjamin has a military background." Not to mention the military doctor, Zach's identity as a military doctor is a product of Charming Eyes. According to Barton's citizen file, Zachary Grande is a businessman, and his younger brother Benjamin Grande is a soldier.
Sure enough, Harvey used his human common sense to rationalize some of Zack's abilities, but none of that mattered. If Harvey really becomes a vampire, these misunderstandings will resolve themselves.
"Buminophile." Zach gave the answer. Watch as Nenad's color changes from shock to confusion and finally to calm.
Nenad said, "Oh." Nenad gave up thinking about the reason. One thing he could confirm was that things had become troublesome.
Zach didn't let Nenad wait. He briefly summarized the reason why Bumi was staring at Harvey. I won't repeat it here. Then, "Also, the call Ford answered was from Hamilton Lesembra."
Nenad's expression changed the order slightly, first confused, then shocked, and finally calm. Nenad: “Oh.”
Things are even more troublesome.
