Vega City~
The long and tedious journey across the Federation, which lasted for almost two weeks, was finally over.
Miles and Xiyun weren't really sure what to expect. They all know that the last time Boss Grande came to the west was to teach the transformation experience of the privatization of the funeral industry. This time, the funeral industry in the west seems to have completed the privatization process. Let's invite Boss Grande to come... to celebrate the success of the transformation? Courtesy industry exchange
No matter what it is, Miles and Xiyun feel that the first person they see in this city can give them the answer. As long as someone from Vega comes to receive them and observe their words and expressions, they can always roughly feel the three of them. Where do the Pattons fit into this western city
This calculation is broken.
No one received the three of them. Zach drove the car and seemed to know exactly where he was going from the moment he entered the confines of Vega City.
The biggest thing Miles and Xiyun felt about the streets of Vega was... the people. There are people everywhere. Not the kind of passersby who pass by like a background, but people who are clearly doing something.
There are tourists who hold cameras and take only two steps to take a photo; there are wealthy people who carry all kinds of luxury bags and still step into the mall firmly; there are angry youths who hold signs to protest against some 'special ethnic group'; There were gamblers who were carried and thrown out of the casino by security guards...
There were also law enforcement officers who noticed the non-Western license plates and stopped their cars. "Sir, welcome to Vega City. Random security inspection. Please show your ID. Thank you for your cooperation."
"Okay officer." Zach pulled out his ID with a smile on his face.
Xiyun and Miles did not expect that the first person they came into contact with in Vega would be a policeman, sitting upright and motionless.
The policeman who got Zach's ID took a look at it, shook it, and the registration notebook and Zach's ID in his hand shook and fell to the ground, "Please, Mr. Toledo! Sorry, I didn't recognize him!"
Who is Mr. Toledo? Miles and Xiyun were thinking about this problem.
"It's okay." Zach was very gentle, waiting for the police to pick up the things and return the ID, and smiled, "Is it a random inspection?"
"Uh..." The policeman glanced left and right, then moved to the window with a flattering look, "It's not random, all outsiders entering and leaving Vega will be checked. Only in this way can the 'higher authorities' control certain news from spreading. . Haha, Mr. Toledo, you know."
Why! So who is Mr. Toledo? ? Two Grand employees continued to ponder the question.
Zach smiled and nodded, sizing up the policeman, "You seem to have no objection to the order from 'above' that increases the workload of your law enforcers~" Zach still remembers that in the west, law enforcers Don't like these vampires 'up there'.
"What opinions can you have?" the policeman smiled bitterly, "Now we can only rely on the power from above to suppress certain things. Hey, at this time, we law enforcers can only be tools from above."
Zach tilted his head, knowing that the police were talking about the anti-alien movement. The extremists in western society were still suppressed in the dark, and it was indeed because of the absolute power of vampires in this society. Just look at the protest signs on the roads in Weijia. 'Special ethnic groups'? Why not just write 'alien, non-human'? Because vampires are also aliens and inhumans! To turn against aliens and turn against vampires is to seek death.
What the police said gave Zach a general understanding of the current state of the anti-interracial movement in the West, but one must realize that it was actually quite strange for the policeman to say such things to Zach. His bitterness obviously shows that he doesn't really like to be used as a tool by the powerful vampires in society, but his fawning over Zach shows that he doesn't hate this Toledo.
Zach caught an important point, "You just said you didn't recognize me just now. Do you know me?"
"Ah, I hope!" the policeman explained excitedly, "It's like this. A few days ago, Toledo from the Republic came to the west." Excitedly, "They took the initiative to report to the local police station! They said they would strictly abide by their orders. The teachings of the Redo family ancestors, respect the law enforcers in each region! Just like you, sir, helped the Barton police maintain the city in Barton! You don't know how much we current policemen envy General Lance's son~" He was too excited, "And they are all super... good! They took the initiative to enter their status rotation plan in the federation into our system, promising that Toledo will always support social law enforcers!"
Zach blinked and then smiled. Also, when I come to Vega with ink marks, Toledo from the Republic should come in front of me. As an elite descendant selected by the republican government, and with Louise's control, Zach didn't think this operation should be surprising. It was very easy for Toledo to establish a good first impression with the law enforcers of society, and there was nothing wrong with it.
On the contrary, he took the initiative to hand over the vampire's identity rotation information to the law enforcers, which confirmed the good 'conspiracy' theory that Zach had thought of before. The Republican government really gave these social elites to Toledo. These Republican Toledo came to the Federation and were not ready to return to the Republic.
It's just right, "Toledo, who came to Vega City, has he settled down?"
"Oh, he is temporarily staying at a funeral home in the southern suburbs."
"Thank you." Zach smiled and nodded, ending the communication on the roadside.
"Mr. Toledo is going to the funeral home?" The policeman was probably seizing the last moment to be friendly, "I can help you clear the way~ Recently, there are many, haha, 'special groups' spreading rumors that Toredo is coming, they are very active Xiang~ But it is trouble after all. The funeral home in the southern suburbs is surrounded every day~ I can save my husband those boring dealings~"
Thanks for this information~ Zach shook his head and refused, "No, I'll go back to the villa..." Zach paused, "My villa was not harassed."
"Oh! That's not the case. Mr. Giovanni and several clan ancestors have lived there temporarily before. The people who stayed behind were all people from above, but no one dared to harass there~"
Zach thanked him again, said goodbye, and the car started driving again.
The car was quiet for three minutes.
"Boss, are you Toledo?" Xiyun asked. This was the questioner decided by two Grande employees through eye contact in the rearview mirror. The key deciding factor was that Xiyun was sitting close to him.
"I am~" Zach controlled the steering wheel and moved forward smoothly.
Xiyun continued, "Middle name? What kind of weird cultural and traditional second surname?" Ha, what a weird idea.
"Haha, you can use it as your second surname." Zach's idea is actually quite simple. In the city of Vega, the existence of aliens, especially the powerful people in society, and vampires cannot be hidden. When they take over the funeral industry in the entire West, these two employees will also discover that the boss in their eyes, Zachary Grande, is not just a funeral owner in Barton. But tell them the truth, haha, what's the point of this game? Why don't we just let these two guys explore the 'new world' during their time in Vega~ And then depending on how exciting the excavation process is, before leaving the west and returning to Barton It's time to decide, and then decide to replace their real memories in the west with false memories~Game~~
"What is the ancestor of that surname? Who was the first person to invent this surname?" Xiyun actually followed this strange line of thought. Miles in the back is rolling his eyes.
Zach smiled, "More or less, inventions don't count, but among the people with this surname, the highest-ranking person is the clan ancestor." This is a very objective fact. The original clan ancestor has already died. Yes, the vampires who will become the ancestors of the clan have appeared, Zach, Eve, Dora... the bumpy secret alliance.
Xiyun's face wrinkled up, "Seniority." He didn't want to turn his head and stare at Zac's side face in the mirror, "We, the landlady of Grande, are traveling to the Republic to discipline your illegitimate child in the Republic. ?"
This thought advancement is really... cute~
But there's no problem. How can a human who doesn't know the existence of vampires understand what he just heard
Xiyun worked hard enough without saying 'alien'~
"Ha. No." Zach shook his head and smiled very happily, making trouble in a playful manner, "The one Alice is disciplining is my 'illegitimate son'~" As a descendant of Ian, this expression is no problem!
Xiyun couldn't hold back and turned to stare at Zach's side face while driving, "Boss, how old are you?"
Miles in the back seat finally couldn't help it anymore, "Don't be stupid! Use your brain! Obviously 'Toledo' is something like a communicable professional title, a proper noun! Seniority here is not our norm. Understand having children! Anyone who meets certain special requirements can become a 'Toledo'! Like, like... the relationship between a professional teacher and a student!" Smart people are just different. Putting aside the blood ethics of the vampire clan, this is the most accurate description, "Didn't you hear the police just said that the republican Toledo will strictly follow the boss's teachings!"
Xiyun turned around and glared at Miles, "You're smart! If you don't forget something these days (concussion), your flesh will itch?*! You deserve a beating!" Still vulgar, but did not take action~
That's right, let's fill in a small detail that we missed before.
The spirit sucker is no longer in Miles' soul. It's not that Miles' extreme soul imprint is no longer delicious, but the reason why the spirit sucker will follow Zach and leave Barton is entirely because Mo and Jin represent the two positions of the republic and the alien race. When Zach temporarily entrusted Adam to the Asamat clan in the middle, the spirit flayer knew that this was his chance to learn about the foreign races of the Republic. The soul-sucking monster has stayed in the central part~ When we meet next time, this guy, haha, should have fully understood the needs of the alien races in the Republic, and is one step closer to the path to God~
And the result of this for Miles is that he will never forget things again~a good thing~
Leak fixing is over.
Zach is very happy now~ These two employees may become his source of happiness in Vega City~ Please continue to work hard~ "Do you still have questions? Ask~" Don't stop being happy~
It was Xiyun who said, "You have a villa in Weijia??" Ha, promising~
"Only 200 years of residence rights~" Zach was really curious about what 'different' interpretation these two employees would have, "It's a gift. The mayor of Vega gave it to him when I came to Vega last time~"
"Gift? Why? Because of Grande's privatization experience??" Xiyun's face wrinkled up, and his mind couldn't move.
The smart man answered, "Identity rotation!" Miles stared at the smiling Zach in the rearview mirror, "The police just said identity rotation! Is this an internal statement? This is the job title of 'Toledo' There is a time limit! There is a periodic rotation! So related things have an expiration date..." Miles paused, as if he had realized something, "This is not about the privatization of the funeral industry at all, right! The privatization of the funeral industry is only on the surface. Under the guise of Ge, Grande, the real secret hidden under the surface of the funeral home..." Miles's body was trembling, and he finally got what he wanted and touched what he wanted in his heart! "It's this 'Toledo'! It started from Grande and spread to the Republic, so once the boss lady went to the Republic, she wouldn't come back. Now, she's coming to the West!"
If Zach hadn't been driving, Zach would have really clapped his hands~
For a human being to be able to interpret the vampire system and everything that we vampires have experienced to this point, what a great thing!
Xiyun folded his arms and stopped talking. Half of them were digesting Miles' words, and the other half was because of their self-esteem. Compared with Miles, I really looked like an idiot... so shut up.
Miles grabbed the seat belt on his chest hard and suppressed his body that was shaking with excitement. "Boss..." Changed the title, "Grand first..." Then continued to change the title, "Mr. Toledo!" The former Logan and Evan! Did they know about 'Toledo'! Is this how they are different from other Grande employees! They gained weight in the eyes of Mr.! Got a real future?!"
Zach smiled and said calmly, "Yes."
Xiyun also grabbed the seat belt and used strength.
"Have they also become 'Toledo'?!" Miles' pupils shrank, he needed an answer!
"Haha, no." Zach answered.
"What?!" It was Xiyun who didn't hold his breath, and his seat belt made a tragic tearing sound, "The 'Torido' I just mentioned is a transnational, influencing law enforcement, and a waste of money. From the villa! But the result is not the reason why Evan and Logan are different?!"
Zach turned his head helplessly and looked at the broken seat belt on Xiyun's chest. To explain a little bit, don’t overestimate Xiyun’s explosive power. Grand cars are all second-hand goods of the previous generation Grand. The two Grand brothers have hardly maintained them. Everyone knows about parts loss and so on. "You You have to pay for this." Then he regained his smile and said, "Why are you so anxious~" Zach is very much looking forward to what these two employees can bring to him~ "We are in Vega, one that can hide me in Grande." Toledo's in a city where he's called out by law enforcers directly on the street~Be patient, my employees~"
Both employees were taking deep breaths.
Zach was in an extremely happy mood, "My villa has a swimming pool~ Look forward to it, we will enjoy an unforgettable and wonderful time in Vega~"
