At night, half of the employees in the Grande Living Area still hadn't returned. Zach is not the kind of boss who cares about his employees’ nightlife. As long as it doesn’t delay work, it doesn’t matter what the employees want~
Zach was a little worried that Calvin wasn't back either. Not presupposing anything, but learning a few bad habits to be more humane does not mean learning all bad habits. Zach was afraid that once Calvin went out, he would not learn the good things about human civilization, but would learn all the bad parts of civilization. What makes Zach even more uneasy is that the two followers assigned to Calvin, one is a former criminal, and the other is an alien with no sense of responsibility. Well, it is really not a reassuring combination.
He waited at the front door of Grande with some anxiety, expecting to see the three of them returning at any time... The longer he waited, the more disappointed he became, and Zach was about to give up.
A car drove onto the dirt road, it was Blake, a car Zach knew. He must have come to find him. After making this judgment, Zach went back to the house early and waited in the office.
After a while, Blake came up as expected. He looked around carefully at first, "There is no one else here."
What Zach remembered was that when Blake came last time, he was a little cautious when he saw James. "It's just me." At the same time, he was still a little curious, "What happened?"
Blake relaxed a little and sat down opposite Zach, "Nothing, I just wanted to come to you to kill some time."
Quite an inexplicable answer. It's not that you can't come to Zach when you have nothing to do, but in order to find a job in his position, Blake, with his status, comes to Zach to kill time? Should I say it's a waste, or is there another conspiracy...
Blake's only advantage is probably that Zach likes him quite a bit, so he lets this vague answer take effect and smiles, "How long do you need to kill?"
"An hour?" Blake really answered, although it was a question.
Zach nodded in agreement with Blake, "Do you want to watch some TV? What you watch can only be controlled by Alice and Maya."
"Okay!" Blake actually agreed and got up to go to the recreation room.
Zach had no idea what was going on with Blake, but he had an inexplicable feeling that he didn't need to say anything, just let Blake go. I also got up and prepared to watch TV with my guests... The phone in the office rang.
Before Zach could react, Blake looked back at the phone as if frightened.
Zach noticed Blake's reaction, and after thinking for a moment, he walked towards the phone and whispered to Blake, "If it's you, I just say I don't know."
Blake's face was momentarily embarrassed, but mostly grateful.
Zach answered the phone and didn't even finish "Grand Funeral...".
"Congratulations!" This voice is Zagel! "I just heard from your former employees that you defeated the inner demons of the Toledo clan! Breaking Toledo's destiny in the Sabbat..."
It sounds like Miles made it to Zagel, pretty quickly.
"...Toledo is already unmatched in the Sabbat! You, my dear Zachary Toledo, is already unmatched in the Sabbat. As a 'person' created to copy your experience, 'Another Zachary Toredo' ~ I am sincerely grateful that you were able to accomplish such a feat in your life experience, congratulations!"
Congratulations? Before Zach was still unaware of Zagel's darkness, did Zach congratulate Zagel for gaining Fan Zhuo's trust and standing firm in the secret alliance of the Republic? Isn't this another way to break the inner demons of the Toledo clan
Did Zachary Torredo congratulate his 'other self' for accomplishing such a feat
No. Because no one will congratulate themselves on their achievements, they will only think that they should be done.
Therefore, the more sincere Zagel’s congratulations to Zach are now, the more fake they are!
Zach was quiet for a while and then spoke into the receiver, "It turns out that the employee who ran away from me went to the Republic. No wonder the federation couldn't find him." Haha, such an answer has been prepared for a long time. .
"Oh, he's not alone~ He also has a parasitic soul-sucking monster on him. It seems that he was bewitched by you and thought he could become a god in the Republic~" Zagel on the other side of the receiver kept maintaining a high-pitched tone, It's a skill. From the moment he filmed Bruch imprisoning Louise and Eli, he had already shown his true colors and had a falling out with Toledo. I deliberately used this tone now to set up, leaving the truly cold and harsh words for the end, saying, "Thank you for this gift~ Fan Zhuo and I are still thinking about how to deal with these republicans after we have solved the remaining angels. God, you~ sent the most perfect weapon~"
"You're welcome." Zach's tone was calm, "It sounds like you and the Secret Alliance are going to take root in the Republic."
"Yeah~" Zagel was still high-pitched, "There is no living space for the faith of the Holy Lord here~" The soul after death does not have the earth-binding spirit stage, and there is no belief in heaven and hell. "Waiting for the republican government to clean up their local Aliens~ The only ones that need to be dealt with in this land are the outdated Republican Gods~ Get rid of them~ The Republic belongs to the Secret Alliance~ just like the Federation belongs to you and the Sabbat~"
Zach remained calm, "That sounds good, then I wish you good luck." Zach was reminding the other party that I have already said my farewell, and if you don't say harsh words, I will die.
"Good luck? No, I don't need your good luck." The harsh words came, and the tone was dark enough, Zagel said, "Zachary Toredo, I will not lose to you."
Judging from the meaning of the words, this is actually not a very cruel statement, but this is probably Zagar's existence and the only goal determined by his self-awareness. He doesn't want to lose to Zach!
And Zach knew very well how to deal with this Zager who carried his own experience, "Okay, I take it back, I wish you bad luck." Then he hung up the phone quickly. This is not naive, this is disgusting to the other party, or it is irritating!
Zach thought about Zagel's expression over there, and with a twist of his lips, everything was going very smoothly: Miles was already in position behind Zagel, ready to stab him at any time. This was an internal concern; the Secret Alliance was also because The appearance of the soul-sucking monster moved the Republic God. This was a foreign invasion...
Zagel thought this was a great era for the Secret Alliance, but in reality, it was the beginning of destruction.
Blake did not leave. He looked at Zach at the office door and smiled stupidly, "Well... are they from the Republic?" Blake heard Zach talking about the Republic.
Zach didn't take away his smile and nodded, "Yes, it's a small matter, you don't need to worry about it." The meaning of a small matter actually means 'it has nothing to do with Barton', and Blake, the mayor's secretary, doesn't need to care about it.
Blake pursed his lips, stopped asking, and turned around to watch TV... The phone rang again, Blake's expression became nervous again, and he looked back at Zach.
Zach returned the same smile as before and answered, "Grand Funeral Home."
"Is Blakestone at your place?" This time it was a local caller from Barton. It was Kevin Lesenbra, the second-generation Lesembra in Barton and Ethera's new husband. "He's not here." Report to me on the work of the city government today."
As promised, Zach said, "Blake? I don't know, he didn't come to my place." This made Zach realize the reason why Blake came to Grande to kill time. Blake was stuck between the human mayor and the vampire. Between the powers, he was too tired and he needed to rest. Oh, poor man.
"You're lying. Someone saw Blake's car driving to the South District. Where else could it go if it wasn't you!" The other party's tone was unhappy. Lesembula, who is in a high position, obviously hates being deceived.
Zach only felt like he was talking to a retarded person, "You can also go to Alpha Benjamin's. The Ancestors Office has been required by the mayor to report the dynamics of alien races for a long time. Why don't you call Alpha and ask."
Kevin on the other side of the receiver clicked his tongue, "Forget it! If Blake comes to your place, tell him that his behavior will make the people around him pay the price!" and hung up.
Zach curled his lips and would not tell such boring words that Lesembra and the Stone family have a mutually beneficial relationship. It would hurt the Stone family. For Kevin Lesembra, Barton's son-in-law who came from the west to marry him, No benefit.
What Zach said to Blake was, "You might want to hang out at Benjamin's place later."
Blake nodded with a wry smile, "Thank you."
"No thanks~" Zach held Blake in his arms and walked to the recreation room. After taking two steps, he suddenly thought, "Well, you are going to Benjamin's place anyway, so please bring me a message."
"What words?"
"Tell Benjamin that the ancestors of the Gangrel family are here."
Blake stood still, "Another vampire ancestor appeared in Barton?!"
Zach nodded and continued walking to the entertainment room, "Please help me say hello to Benjamin. If something happens to this clan ancestor, I will ask him to entrust him with the task and let him prepare."
The "strange" thing about this fantasy is that the ancestor of the vampire clan reappeared, and Zach did not notify the Sabbat or the city authorities. Haha, I didn’t say anything to the relevant parties who really care about this kind of thing, but I have to notify an agency whose purpose is to serve the lives of aliens~
What's even more 'surprising' is that the person Zach asked to take the message, Blake, is both a city manager and a member of the Sabbat~
Zach is expressing his stance on the Gangrel clan. In my eyes, Toledo, he is an alien. If the rest of you want to use this clan clan to do something, it has nothing to do with me.
