On the second floor of Grande, two brothers carrying luggage took their sister to the new room, "You will like it~"
Zach pushed open the door, revealing Alice and Maya's new room.
"What is this?" Maya glanced at it and only stopped at the bunk beds. "Where is my old room?" She looked unhappy.
Zach glanced at Alice and didn't care whether Maya liked it or not. His sister's feelings were the most important, "You almost don't use your own room, so you give it to others." To be honest~ Maya used to steal He ran to Alice's room and lay there.
Maya frowned, but took her luggage without saying a word, and threw it directly to the upper bunk. She chose the bed first, then left the room directly, and went downstairs with heavy steps.
Zach had actually observed the two girls all the way and confirmed that Maya couldn't hear them. "What's wrong with you? The atmosphere feels wrong."
Alice pursed her lips and quietly packed her luggage.
Zach nudged Benjamin. Alice was very quiet all the way back from Port Marsa. If it was the old Alice, neither brother would find anything strange, but Alice has changed, hasn't she
Zach hoped that Benjamin would also play his role as an older brother, but he didn't want to push him. Benjamin said in passing: "Alice, do you want to see your little nephew?" Change the topic, tsk, it's a useless escape!
Alice didn't even answer, so Benjamin went out of his own accord and went to Zach's bedroom to hug Adam.
Zach pouted, and there was nothing to blame Benjamin. When this Alpha used to live in Grande, he left all the big and small matters to Zach to handle. Now the family he belongs to is not in Grande at all, let alone Can't be eventful.
After a while, Benjamin came over with Adam in his arms.
A smile appeared on Alice's face, and she finally spoke, "Little Adam~ Can I give you a hug~"
Benjamin handed the baby over.
"I prepared a gift for Adam~" Alice hugged her carefully, and at the same time gestured to a box that had just been taken out of the opened luggage. Looking at the packaging, it was obviously a gift.
Benjamin got ahead of Zach and took the gift, "Look what Aunt Alice brought you~" Benjamin is not suitable for baby sounds...
The box was opened, and it looked like something similar to a collar. The shape had a strange exotic style, and it was a republican thing.
"It's a safety lock~you can grow up smoothly~" Alice taught Benjamin to put it on Adam.
The baby's little hands fiddled with the new toy "Eaa~ Eaa~"
Zach opened his mouth, but immediately closed it. He watched Benjamin and Alice tease Adam for a while, and then reminded him, "Alice still needs to pack her luggage."
Benjamin glanced at Zach and hugged Adam back. Before going out, he said, "I'll wait for you in the office." He said to Zach and closed the door.
Zach nodded and stayed in the room to help Alice pack her luggage.
There were only vampires and banshees in the room. Zach spoke first, "I originally planned to give you the master bedroom, but Yuehua suggested that you, Maya, cultivate a tacit understanding."
Alice paused in her packing movements and looked up at Zach with some confusion. Not the latter sentence, but the previous sentence, "Grand's master bedroom?"
"The privatization of the funeral industry in the west has been completed. I am going to the west to take over the funeral industry. Tsk, the bureaucracy of the Sabbat. Obviously I have to play this game with them now." A small pause, "The day after tomorrow."
"You won't come back?" Alice frowned, looking worried. This worry can be interpreted as two possibilities: the first is literally, Zach will not come back; the second is, Zach will not come back.
Zach directly dismissed those unnecessary worries, "Of course I will come back. But the future of Grande is yours~" Zach smiled and shrugged, "We are doing family business~ During the time I left, you This younger sister had better take up the career left behind by her elder brother~"
The worry on Alice's face disappeared and she smiled, "Who sleeps in Grande's master bedroom has nothing to do with who is in charge of Grande's career~"
The thing is, the master bedroom has been shaped into a symbol of dominance in the family during the long history of human civilization. Grande's master bedroom was, sooner or later, Alice's. However, because the attributes of Grande's family are too...unconventional, there will be no so-called family business inheritance ceremony in the future. So...awkward.
If there can be a subtle process to automatically complete the handover of the position of the head of the Grand family, it will be the best thing for this unique brother and sister family.
Zach originally planned to take advantage of the fact that the Grand received too many 'guests' and the room ownership changed many times, and assigned the master bedroom to Alice. However, as mentioned above, Yuehua's suggestion forced Zach to shelve his original plan.
But judging from the situation, it seems that there is something wrong with Alice and Maya, and they are not happy with this arrangement.
There's a reason Zach brings this up now.
"That's true. The only one who can sleep peacefully in the master bedroom now is your little nephew Adam." Zach shook his head helplessly, "Don't mention this." Because Annabell~ Zach waved his hand, Annabell's situation Alice can slowly understand in the future that Zach has no shame in saying to his sister, 'She loves me and I don't love her.' "If you and Maya are not satisfied with the current arrangement, you can go to the master bedroom."
The smile that had just appeared on Alice's face faded a little, but Zach could see that Alice was seriously considering this suggestion. Alice hesitated, "Then where do you live?"
Zach shrugged, "I don't need it." Anyway, Zach doesn't sleep like a human being now. The need to 'need a room to live in' has no meaning in existence. Grande, there won't be any good neighbors asking about Grande's living conditions. However, Zach thought quite well, "If we really need to care about the opinions of outsiders, Reutschmich has no reasonable reason to stay in Barton." Political asylum is political asylum within the Sabbat! Reutzmich, a declining military industrial giant, has no reason to live in Grande, a funeral home for a long time! To be clear, there is no record in the world confirming that Reutzmich lived in Grande! "If anyone really cares about the living situation of Grande's family members, it makes sense for me to live in the place vacated by my brother who moved away and started a new business~"
Alice's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zach raised his eyebrows and looked at Alice, "What's wrong?"
"I want it there..." Alice corrected her statement, "Give me and Maya that warehouse. We can live there, and you can let Roizmich live in Grandli."
Zach blinked and said, "Are you going to live with Maya?" The reason Zach mentioned this was because he thought there might be some problem between Alice and Maya, and the two didn't want to live together. Now it doesn't sound like that is the case.
Alice pursed her lips and said, "Maya and I were quarreling." She sat up straight, as if she was about to say something very important.
Zach felt the atmosphere, pulled up a stool, and sat upright, as if his brother was teaching his sister important life lessons, "About what?"
"Who will be the main attacker?" Alice looked serious. "She spent her whole childhood practicing the black witch's attack skills. She naturally felt that she would be the attacker after we formed a team." Alice raised her hand, and a burst of The red spell made Zach's eyelids twitch twice, "But I am not weaker than her, even stronger. So, we are taking the position of the attacker."
Well, this is not a life lesson contained in Zach's experience, and Zach has nothing to teach Alice.
Zach lost his posture and said, "There is nothing to grab. You are stronger, so you should be the attacker."
"The problem is, we are all very bad defenders." Alice continued, "We know all the witchcraft, but we just inexplicably make the wrong judgment at the wrong time, and then use the wrong defense, hindering or even Interrupt the other party’s actions.”
Zach opened his mouth and continued to hold his posture, "This is a matter of tacit understanding. Yuehua is right, all you need is training."
"That's right." Alice nodded seriously, "So we have no problem living together to cultivate our tacit understanding, but the roles of offense and defense must be determined, otherwise it will just increase the friction between us."
Going back, Zach can handle it, "Maya should be more conscious. She has been trained by the black witch for more than ten years, and she is not as strong as you. Your lower limit is obviously higher than hers. With the training of the black witch, your The upper limit must be higher than hers, she should curb her pride and give up her position to you." That's right~ How could Zach not stand by Alice~~
"It's not that easy. No matter how powerful the attacker is, without the backing of an absolutely safe defender, the formation of the Black Witch's team will be meaningless."
In the ever-changing battle, watching each other's 'death', this is the meaning of the black witch's offensive and defensive team. Alice is right. It's too... frivolous to only use the maximum power of attackers to determine the position of the group.
The real question between Alice and Maya is not whose attack is more powerful, but who can shoulder the position of defender better!
But, Alice admitted that both of them sucked!
Therefore, the self-esteem of the girls makes them willfully refuse to compare among the things that they are both bad at, and they can only compete with the things that each of them is good at...
Girl, girl~
After understanding this, Zach can really help his sister, "You need space, use who is the better attacker to determine who is the defender."
Alice nodded seriously, "It can't be outdoors, and it needs to be large enough. A warehouse is just right."
But Zach still doesn't like the feeling that Alice has moved to the warehouse. If Roy also lives in Glendale, there will be too much Sabbat atmosphere under this roof. Moreover, Alice is even further away from Grande’s master bedroom. What’s wrong with this!
"You and Maya still live here, but Roy won't mind if you can use the warehouse as you like before school starts. Moreover, he has a very good relationship with the wizard now, and he may even take the initiative to participate in a few of your and Maya's meetings. Healthy competition.”
Alice's eyes lit up again, "Mr. Reutzmich, are you willing to be a target for me and Maya?"
Wait, Zach didn’t say that! !
Just as Zach opened his mouth, the door opened, and Maya stood at the door with her hands on her waist, "Zimich is nothing, if you want to be a rake, Giovanni is the best!" Well, this girl was not running around just now. "In fact, that Where's Giovanni?" We're looking for a 'target'!
Zach pursed his lips and said, "Nick is enjoying the hospitality of the people in the West End during this period and does not live in Grande." Zach thought it would be better not to correct the misunderstanding between the two girls. This situation looks good. The two girls are in There is quite a tacit understanding on this matter! Zach, what else can you say
"Zimich is already very good, we need a 'rake' that can resist." Alice's words made Zach...
Let's experience it for ourselves, "Among vampires, Giovanni is not good at attacking. The most we can do is compare who has more destructive power, but we are not going to massacre the city, so there is no point in comparing that. Zmich is very balanced. , as a true fighting clan among vampires, able to attack and defend, we are more comprehensive. In every battle, we form a team not only to win, but also to enjoy the victory safely and completely."
Proud, Zach felt proud when he heard Alice's words~~
Maya poured ice water on this pride immediately. "What's that expression on your face? Your brother is also a vampire. If you are of any use, Alice and I need to discuss this?"
Zach's eyes twitched twice. He hadn't seen Maya for two months, and this girl's mouth became a little more poisonous...
Zach didn't want to bear this ridicule alone, "You can also find Benjamin. After all, that is his old residence."
"We will be killed instantly." Maya entered the room, jumped to the upper bunk, and started to pack her luggage, "We can't compare with anything and it's over." Maya glanced at Zach, "They are all brothers, they are useless The reasons are all higher than yours, are you angry or not~"
Angry, but Zach asked for it. There was no need to continue the topic, Zach stood up and said, "I'll talk to Roy when he comes back. You guys should tidy up the room first." Exiting the room, oh, it felt uncomfortable.
When he entered the office, he saw Benjamin with a smile on his face. It was obvious that he had just eavesdropped on the conversation there. Benjamin still insisted, "What do you think? I've told you a long time ago that my combat power is countless times better than that of you second-generation vampires. Why do you bring me with you in this little competition between children~ "
Zach gave Benjamin satisfaction, "I'm stupid, are you happy?"
"Happy." Benjamin smiled as he watched Zach sit down, then stopped smiling and became serious, "Tell me what you want to do."
What do you mean
After Zach sat down, he crossed his arms and looked into Benjamin's eyes expressionlessly.
The day after tomorrow, Zach will leave Barton temporarily and go west to take over control of the privatized funeral industry. As mentioned before, the whole thing is the bureaucracy of the Sabbat. It has nothing to do with human society, it’s just pure Sabbat decentralization politics.
As the funeral industry in the west falls into Toledo's hands, Zach will gain the power to dominate all aliens and humans who work in the funeral industry!
There is no exaggeration, the Toledo clan will become the absolute superiors of those alien races and humans in the Sabbat!
Power, real power! Eli, the stand-in, has been in the Sabbat for so long, and has been tightly guarded by the Sabbat clans, and has not touched anything! It truly represents a vampire clan and is the only criterion for judging its position in the Sabbat!
So, of course, it won't be smooth sailing for Zach when he goes to the Sabbat this time.
This is why Zach once planned to lead the Assamite clan to crush the central part and stand in front of the Sabbat. In the face of strong strength, those malicious people will consciously give in because they can't beat it.
But Zach's plan obviously went bankrupt. The Asamat clan in the Republic and its ancestors disappeared from the world together.
Zach is still the young vampire whose ancestor died long ago and took over the position of the ancestor.
Don’t get me wrong, the resistance Zach will encounter is not the Sabbat’s clan that will cause trouble for Zach. We know how much the other Sabbat clans ‘love’ Zach~ The only one who doesn’t love Lesembula, haha, make your own mess. Not to mention that there is a 'bad-hearted' Frank ancestor who is secretly helping Zach. Zach's problem isn't the Sabbat's fellow vampires
Zach personally has many friends and resources, but the Toledo clan does not.
The difficulty for Zach going to the Sabbat this time is that the current capacity of the Toledo clan cannot accommodate this power!
The reason why Benjamin is asking this question now is that under Barton's control, no one realized that Zach would be in trouble. Benjamin, strangely, realized this problem and wanted to help his 'brother'.
