Derek frowned. He already knew that now was not the time for him to ask questions. He lowered his head and cut the steak.
There was silence at the table for a while. Zach sighed, "Does anyone know you're here?"
"No."
Zach laughed helplessly, "How did you get here?"
Caesar's hands rummaged around his body and threw out a key. Zach looked and saw that it wasn't Anthony's car, this kid had stolen his now father's car.
Looking at his attire, it was obvious that the main character was the dinner of two rivals, Anthony and Ethera. He was also present. He didn't know what happened at the table. This guy got here out of boredom.
Zach shook his head, stood up, and apologized to everyone at the table for leaving. Not too sorry, just right. Zach took the wine glass and walked out of the restaurant, "Caesar, phone."
Caesar took out another card and threw it to the vampire. Zach took it over, a restaurant known for its exquisite seafood.
Walking into the office, Zach leisurely refilled his wine glass, picked up the receiver, and called the number on his business card.
After the polite greeting rang, Zach said to the friendly waiter on the receiver, "Mr. Anthony, please answer the phone."
"Sorry, I couldn't find Mr. Anthony's appointment."
Zach raised his eyebrows, Anthony was so rude! This dinner was actually not initiated by him.
Zach curled his lips and said Aesera's last name. Halfway through, he shook his head with a smile and said the last name of Caesar's current father. Using her man's name has always been Ethera's style, "But I'm looking for Mr. Anthony."
"Hold on."
Zach waited unhurriedly, and after a moment, "Who's looking for me?" Anthony's voice rang from the receiver.
"It's me." Zach held the receiver and smiled, "How about dinner?"
"Uh." You can clearly hear the impatience in the receiver, "Why did you call here? Is something wrong?"
"You haven't answered my question yet." Zach curled his lips. "How about dinner? It seems to be a very high-end place. You didn't do anything embarrassing."
"Tsk!" Anthony didn't hide his emotions, "Are you okay? It's okay. I'm busy! I don't have time to talk to you..."
Zach smiled and stopped teasing Anthony, "Don't you think there's something missing there?"
"What?" Anthony paused and became impatient again. "How do you know I'm here! I asked you to leave me and Isela alone..."
"Caesar is here." Zach interrupted Anthony. Vampires don't like to have their character questioned.
There was no sound in the receiver, and then there was a curse, "Damn it!" Anthony obviously understood, "I told you why you went out and didn't come back!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, "And he also stole his own car."
"He stole it?" Strangely, Anthony was not angry this time, but a little happy, "Well done! I can't wait to see how stupid that idiot is when he gets entangled with the parking attendant! Huh! Aisela's face. It’s going to be really exciting!”
The idiot Antony refers to is Athera's current husband, Caesar's current father. Being used as a puppet by Aisela is nothing but a fool.
Zach tilted his head and said, "Anthony, you sound like you are at a disadvantage. Do you need to find a sense of accomplishment in such boring little things?"
There was silence again on the other side of the receiver, and after a moment, "Forget it, you will know anyway!" Anthony lowered his voice. "They got the clue you gave Blake first. We were a step too slow, Vincent is already hers." Anthony said viciously, "She came here to show off to me on purpose today! This b... woman !”
Zach adjusted his sitting position and frowned, "Is it serious? I know Vincent will have an impact on your reputation, but I don't think it will be a big problem."
"You don't understand!" Zach could imagine Anthony's expression now. "Controlling Vincent is just to control the prison's finances. This is a small part of the city government's financial operations. I want to cut off this part of bad debts, but Aisela wants to expose it at the right time... Uh, let me tell you, you I don’t understand either! You don’t need to worry about this!”
Zach frowned. It's not like Anthony said he doesn't understand. The vampire is not that ignorant, and Anthony, who spoke a few more words obviously out of anger, has made Zach aware of many things.
The prison under Vincent is already a piece of rotten meat. The sooner it is cleared out, the better. If the operation is good, Mayor Anthony's reputation can be improved to a higher level before the election!
But if Vincent is now in the hands of Ethela, and she delays the process of cutting off the rotten flesh of Anthony, and it is completely exposed in the middle of the election, then Anthony's reputation will be completely ruined, let alone rising.
Remember what Blake said to Zach at Grand? The agreement with the funeral home is similar to Vincent's exploitation of extra money outside the prison. Although this guy can be convicted, the real issues involving the prison cannot be touched.
Just like imprisoning a murderer for drunk driving, no one will appreciate this kind of thing. Instead, people will be angry at the incompetence of authority.
That's why the clues that extend into the prison are so important. Evidence that can nail Vincent's 'murder' crime, this is what Anthony needs.
But obviously, Anthony failed to get it and was preempted by Ethela. God knows what agreement this woman would reach with Vincent to hold on to the front so that the people in the mayor's office could not advance.
There are too many ways to do this. At the Gentlemen’s Night last Sunday night, Zach could tell from what several lawyers said that they were on Aisela’s side.
Zach can no longer do anything without Anthony's instructions. Their gray professional circle has a code of professional ethics that must be followed, otherwise the circle will collapse.
As for Zach, a vampire, the only thing he can think of is to use the Charming Eyes to steal information, which is obviously unethical. In addition, Zach could not think of a normal moral way to help Anthony.
After taking a long breath, Anthony on the receiver gathered his emotions and said, "Let Caesar stay there! I'll pick him up when it's over!"
"Where's the car that Caesar drove?" Zach raised his eyebrows.
"Tear it down!" Anthony hung up the phone.
Zach looked at the receiver and curled his lips. The vampire was right. Anthony, who was at a disadvantage, could only use such trivial things to find some comfort.
Zach had a smile on his face. Vampires have done this kind of thing before, tearing apart other people's cars and so on.
The strange thing is that the scenes are very similar, all because of Aesela. Will anyone be curious
Well, there is also the involvement of this kid Caesar.
Here's the thing.
As we all know, when people are children, differences in height and IQ always make adults ignore the existence of children. Like a bottle of wine that you put aside and never find again, that's what happened with Caesar.
His biological parents often forgot the existence of the little man in their arguments, and Caesar developed a bad habit. He likes an environment that is closed, dark, and isolated from all outside influences. It's not something like a coffin that doesn't appear in daily life, be sensible, nor is it something soft like a quilt that can only provide false psychological comfort, but the trunk.
One night, as usual, the quarrel started and Caesar's biological father, his first father, who was in his fifties, broke into his home. Ethera, who had just finished an upper-class dinner party, was taking off her gorgeous evening dress in front of the mirror with Anthony's help.
Everything was the same as the plot repeated countless times, the man who broke in roared angrily.
"Bitch!", "You used my money! My connections! What are you doing?! Is this your new love?!", "Oh! I saw you! Woman! You seemed to be enjoying yourself at the dinner party. Ah! What are you talking about with the prosecutor? You had a great time chatting!", "You! What's your name? Ann, Anthony? Are you excited to see these big shots for the first time? Haha! Pretty boy!"...
Caesar didn't have to lower his head. No one paid attention to the short man among the three adults. He walked out of the house that he had used his biological father's money to buy out. , looking at the cars parked outside.
An antique car, Anthony's (Zach's car). A 'Hermann' (car) flagship, my biological father's.
Caesar hesitated to go back and look for the key, but after listening to the quarrel in the house, he gave up. But he was lucky enough to find the key in Hermann that had not been removed. So he opened the trunk and lay down in it. When the trunk was closed, the incident was quiet.
This day is familiar to everyone. This is the day when vampire and Alpha visit Grande for the first time and see two old men fighting.
Three aliens were sitting in a shop without a sign at the end of Ogier Street. As if to save a little on electricity bills, only a few candles were lit in the dark room.
Rita, who was already a girl, waved sleepily to the vampire, "Don't burn your clothes."
The vampire smiled, "Burn one and I'll give you five dollars."
Rita hugged the vampire, said good night, and rolled her eyes at the same time, "You can't talk about this until you can pay full price for the clothes you are wearing!" Then she walked towards Alpha and made a strange request, "Can you use Alpha's skin? Do you want me to hold you again? It’s plush and comfortable..."
Alpha crossed his arms and refused.
Aili, who had just begun to develop, entered the stage of changing his voice. He used a drake-like voice to say to the huddled banshee, "Old man!" He hugged the huddled banshee and comforted him in his own unique way. "Why are you so sad about him?!"
The little mind-reader twitched his lips and said in a positive tone, "I'm telling you! Those old guys spend their entire lives thinking about when they will die!" He rubbed the banshee's shoulders, "If only I could Tell them how long they have to live, and they can live a more meaningful life! Don’t think about all the messy and unknown things!”
The banshee raised her head buried between her legs, and her eyes sunk in her eye sockets looked at Aili, who had a few beans on his face. Her eyes were moist again, "I, I want to tell him?"
"You are stupid!" Ai Li took the banshee's head, "The doctor will tell him! Do you need him!" (..)
