It was already dark when Zach came out of the basement.
Time was spent convincing Simon. Simon was very resistant to having Toledo follow him in the future. He even directly questioned Zach because he was worried that Toledo's vested interests would be damaged by Gangro in the future.
Eli showed his talent here. He told Simon that if Simon threatened Toledo's interests in the future, there would be no need for Zach to order him to follow Simon, Eli would follow him himself.
Not the clan loyalty Zach needed, but Zach took it. Then a lot of time was spent selling Eli to Simon.
I won’t retell it in full, but I’ll summarize a few key points.
The first one: "Eli has decades of experience in Federation life as Toledo, the Sabbat's replacement."
Zach used the details he used to explain Barton's vampire form to Simon, who was still Arthur, to explain Eli's situation in the Sabbat.
We don’t need to be so verbose, let’s focus directly on Eli’s understanding of social class. He found his own way of survival under the class oppression of the Sabbat. This is the experience Simon needs.
Isn't it? Simon is not a person who will follow the path of the upper class of society. He will stay at the lower class and then think of ways to rob the interests of the upper class. Robbery of 0711 Pharmacy and plunged headlong into the vortex of vampires that he could not afford to offend was a mistake that Simon could not make again.
The only way to avoid this mistake is to have a professional 'advisor' who can remind Simon that behind those tempting interests are connected forces that cannot be messed with when Simon is coveting the interests of the upper class.
Who knows which forces at the top of the country, the Federation, cannot be offended
Eli knows. His life as a Toledo impersonator perfectly avoided all minefields. Eli is this professional advisor.
The second one: "Gangro's activities in human civilization are very noticeable. You need a cover, and Eli can be your cover."
Gangro's living habits... There is nothing to say. Simon is bound to attract people's attention. Coupled with his life creed (grabbing the benefits of the upper class and enjoying life), he will probably establish his own reputation very quickly. There is nothing wrong with Simon living the life he wants, but if he wants to avoid unnecessary troubles, the easiest thing is to throw the blame on Eli, who already has a worse reputation...
The killer of the same race who was once pushed by the Sabbat to bear the surname Toledo has really become Toledo!
Who would pay attention to Simon~
The third one: "If you think that I sent someone to prevent you from robbing the interests of the Toledo clan in the future, then I am quite... honored. The industry of the Toledo clan is the funeral industry. If you really think that this is a scam Generous industry, come on, I will open the door for you to grab, just give me some publicity and change the impression of the funeral industry in everyone's mind, I very much welcome it."
This... no need to explain more.
End of summary.
To sum it up, it seems quite simple, but don’t ignore that this is essentially a hard sell. It's natural for Simon to be resistant. Fortunately, Zach is patient and determined to win. After grinding for several hours, Simon succeeded in rationally accepting this arrangement.
Simon's sincere approval is what Zach needs. The purpose is for Eli and Simon to establish a relationship like theirs and Sam's, and sincere acceptance from the beginning is a must.
After doing this, Zach left time for the two people who needed to get started, and walked out of the basement.
The star-studded moon in the sky reminded Zach of the time he had spent. Zach stood on the back porch again and looked to the west. He didn't speak, just watched.
"'It' is no longer there, the sun is already on the other side of the world." Sam spoke in Zach's ear.
Zach withdrew his gaze and looked towards the living area.
All occupied rooms in the living area now have lights on, and the two rooms Zach is looking at belong to Xiyun and Miles respectively.
Zach's gaze didn't stay long on the window of Xiyun's room, but stayed longer on Miles' side.
This is because in the conversation heard during the day, Miles more proactively revealed the information. This liar who acted honest in front of Zach dug up Grande's grave!
Humph, you don’t think Zach would let this kind of thing go easily.
After watching for a while, Zach looked away, walked down the back porch, and walked directly west. Zach is going to the cemetery.
The security service for the Grand Cemetery is provided by Seidir Company in the North District. It can be said that Grande is spending money to support these security guards and their work, and has not played any positive role so far.
Oh, what's their job? It is to create an additional identity check step for any civilian entering or leaving the Grand Cemetery.
The civilians here include Grande's own employees, employees of other funeral homes, ordinary people who come to visit the tomb, and all participants in the funeral ceremony.
It does seem to be providing comprehensive protection for Grande's cemetery, right
But they didn't seem to be able to prevent Brielle from climbing over the fence and singing and dancing to her brother's grave... remember.
Myers said that the bodies buried in the cemetery in the north park of the Grand Cemetery are all incomplete. The most direct inference is that someone is destroying the corpses in the Grand Cemetery, right? Zach couldn't blame the security guards for this, because Zach could roughly guess what happened to those corpses, and Harrison came to Grande to dig them up before he had a stable food supply. In the past, Zach and Benjamin didn't care too much about this kind of thing, until... When Harrison once again tried to run to Grande to look for food, he was intercepted and killed by Thomas Gangello's descendant 'Thirteen', uh, ' '.
Zac would not pass the blame to Saidil security guards, but there were actually employees in Grande digging these graves again under their protection. Are those security guards blind? How could they allow this to happen? They have failed enough to prevent the Grand Cemetery from unconventional invasions by outsiders (Brill). Now, the interior of the Grand Cemetery is rotten and starting to stink, but they are indifferent
concierge. Er, yes, there is a gatekeeper in front of the gate of Grand Cemetery.
Zach stood at the concierge's window with a sullen face, knocking on the window. "Bang bang bang!"
The security guard in the concierge was awakened. Yes, woke up with a start.
The hat that covered his face and eyes was moved back to his head. The still dazed eyes blinked, and he saw clearly that the person outside the window was Grande's boss, Zachary Grande, "Mr. Grande!" This guy's first reaction was not to explain why he was there. Sleeping during working hours, but, hey, checking his radio records, "Eh?" He still had the nerve to say, "Eh" at the counter (the security radio master console over the counter of Grande Showroom, when this thing was first installed) , Louise also played for a while) Didn’t they say that Mr. was coming over in the evening?” Is it strange that Zach suddenly visited his family’s cemetery?
Zach's face became even more gloomy, he was making these security guards' life too comfortable. But Zach had lost interest in questioning the security guard.
Looking at this working condition, what are you asking? Asked him if he knew that Grande’s employees secretly dug up graves
You still have to ask, the answer must be 'I don't know'!
Zach walked straight past the concierge with a sullen face, kicked the closed door to the tomb, and said, "Open the door."
The door opened, and the security guard said with a smile on his face, "Have a nice trip, sir~~" and he was still acting nice.
Zach turned his head and glanced at this guy, too lazy to speak, and walked straight to the North Park.
The night breeze was not too cold, but the cemetery environment had a hint of coolness. During Zach's walk, several night shift employees were patrolling, and the bags were extremely tight to resist the subjective chill.
After these employees discovered that their boss had suddenly arrived, their behavior was surprisingly consistent and they quickly avoided and detoured.
"This is the difference between Miles and these cowards~" Sam suddenly said something in Zach's ear.
Sam was right, no matter how bad Miles looked today, he was the only ex-convict who had the guts to walk up to Zach and start a conversation! Compared with Miles, these people are all cowards. Still stupid.
As Miles revealed today, when these former criminals from the halfway house first came to Grande, they competed for jobs in other Grande campuses because of the unlucky connotation of North Park, changing their appearance. Miles, the weakest, was squeezed out to work in North Park.
And now it has been proven that the South Park, which they thought was the most auspicious cemetery in the Grand Cemetery, is the one with the heaviest workload and the most troublesome work! If these stupid ex-convicts really just want to survive their time at the Grand halfway house, North Park is the place to grab!
What really deserves praise for Miles is that he has clearly got the most relaxed and comfortable job in Grande, but he knows that this is not what he wants. It is foolish to hang around in Grande! As ex-convicts, their time in a halfway house will directly affect their future!
Grande is the only chance to remove the label of 'ex-criminal' from them and allow them to truly integrate into society!
Miles is the only one, no, one of the only two people who understands this. The other is thin clouds. But Xiyun was ultimately weaker than Miles.
Xiyun is not the one who takes the initiative. Or as Miles said today, Xiyun saw Miles take the first step and followed the foundation Miles had already established: the weakling hugged the Grande boss's thigh, and then put on a domineering look. He looked like he was climbing up.
Now, Zach is in North Park, standing in front of the foundation of Myers' initiative.
Miles, using his limited intelligence, is searching for Grande's secret.
"How do you think Miles identified the graves of those sent from prison?" Zach looked at the cemetery in North Park. With Zack's powers of observation, it was easy to tell which graveyards had been touched. Therefore, Zach judged that what Miles said today was not complete.
This is understandable. Myers' conversation today was aimed at breaking through Xiyun's defense. There is no need for Miles to explain in detail what he did in Beiyuan. He only needs to tell Xiyun that he, Miles, has tried his best to discover the secrets of Grande.
"When you erased their memories, you should have obtained this information along the way." Sam did not answer and complained slightly.
Zach waved his hand, "I wasn't in the mood at the time. I was still waiting for the situation on Eli's side." Tsk.
"Yes. But that's not important. Miles said so convincingly in front of Miyun, probably deliberately attracting Miyun's attention. You also heard that Miyun's first reaction was that he was very angry. Miles dug it. The graves of their own people.”
Zach's face darkened again, "It makes sense. With the flexibility of thinking shown by Miles, he can indeed think of using this method to stir up Xiyun's emotions." Zach paused, "Especially in Later it was revealed that the bodies were not complete."
Zach started walking. Zach remembered who was buried in the Grand North Park Cemetery, and combined with his observation of the tampered graveyards, Zach quickly compared the graves of those whose graves Miles dug up in North Park.
"You're right, that's indeed what Miles said. He dug one, two, three, four... twelve graves, and only four came from prison." Zach's face was still gloomy, "It looks like He just dug them randomly." The distribution of the gravesites is irregular. Zach began to observe his surroundings.
Zach did not come to the tomb area to confirm which graves Miles dug. As Sam complained, Zach could directly use the Charming Eye to obtain this information. Now Zach obviously does not need to worry about Eli's situation. However, Zach still came to the cemetery in person.
The real purpose is what Zach is doing now. In the vampire's vision, the entire cemetery area was under Zach's gaze. The Grand employees scattered in the four cemeteries were all under Zach's gaze.
It has now been proven that Miles' words were just to stimulate Xiyun's attention, but still revealed a very 'bad' fact for Grande about Hank's once gray professional attributes.
Miles told Xiyun bluntly that the reason why he did this crazy act of digging a grave was that Hank once worked as a cleanup criminal. These criminals who had been in prison all knew that there was a grave in the Grand Cemetery. , there is 'something'!
Due to the fact that Miles was pushed out to Beiyuan, his rhetoric was to use the remains released from the prison to attract Xiyun's attention. But think about it, if Miles was not in the unlucky place of Beiyuan. Everyone guesses, does Miles dare to dig graves elsewhere
It's just an idea anyway, you might as well think 'bigger'. If Miles was in South Park, would he dare to dig up Mrs. Quinn's family tomb
Now, keep that thought in your head, because here comes the real problem.
Miles is smart, and he doesn't mind emphasizing that fact, and will continually belittle others while emphasizing it.
Bad habits, and more importantly, all of Miles’ disparagement, what if it’s right
The real reason why Zach came to North Park was that he was worried that there were really stupid Grande employees. Based on the mentality that being in Grande was a waste of time anyway, he had the idea of making a fortune in Grande!
Yes, Zach was afraid that the employees under Grande’s roof would dig graves on Grande’s land.
Remember when we compared Grand Cemetery to a bank. Yes, the really smart bank employees, like Miles and Xiyun, are thinking about how to attract the attention of the bank president. And the stupid employee, probably, could be thinking about something in the bank.
Zach observed for a few minutes, "I'm not interested in keeping an eye on them every day. I need to replace the security guards with trustworthy ones."
"Agreed." Sam agreed in his ears.
