"This time." Sibella's hands were holding a jar covered with mud. Dark red spells were bound to the jar body, tightly confining the things inside, unable to appear or make a sound. "I'll come." Just taking care of personal matters.”
Sibella put down her hand and retracted into the cover of her cloak. She seemed to notice that her hand was shaking due to exertion, which was not in line with the meaning of what she was about to say.
"Give us time to deal with each other's private affairs." Sibella looked at Zach, she was obviously referring to Derek Grande, "Next time, you must be prepared to deal with the exchanged hunters. Negotiated." This means that the hunters who are exchanging hostages have to confirm Grande's qualifications as the third party in the agreement with the devil.
This also means that 'Fireflies' will appear.
"It won't be so easy." Sibella stared at Grande's two 'brothers', reminding her expressionlessly.
"We know." Zach nodded. Originally, he really needed to spend some energy to balance the various agreements between the Barton aliens. This means that Grande will serve as a bridge between the foreign hunters and the local aliens in Barton, such as the dead Harrison, to ensure that the two parties live in peace!
You must know that the hunter made an agreement with the demon Crowley, and Barton's native alien race did not participate. Only Alpha acted as a representative and acted as a third-party supervisor. Grande's job isn't easy.
But with Sibella, a person who knows Barton very well, in the middle, I believe there will be no problem.
Zach glanced at Benjamin, "About spices..."
Siberella shook her head. She seemed to have expected that the vampire would not be able to trust that thing. "Maggie has already told me your concerns." Siberella should be too lazy to bother with this thing that was given out of kindness, " You should already know that there is no harm in that thing. While the soul is strengthened, the body just needs to be adjusted accordingly. That's it. The right to use it is yours."
Sibella glanced at Zach. He added impatiently, "In Benjamin."
It just meant growing pains, Benjamin smiled and patted Zach, who was obviously mentally unbalanced. Watching Sibella return to the car.
Corden started the car and adjusted the direction. Zach raised his arms to block the sun and frowned, "Aren't you going back?"
What makes the vampire ask this question is. The front of the car did not face Highway 27 to the east, or Paisin directly to the north, but to the west.
Sibella, who was in the car, glanced sideways at the two of them, as if she was too lazy to answer the question. After a moment, only the butt of the car was left in Zach's field of vision.
"Where are they going?" Zach frowned.
"Constantine?" Benjamin guessed a name indifferently. He guessed correctly.
When returning to Grande, Zach listened to Old Hank's room. The strange old man seemed to be still sleeping. The vampire curled his lips and thoughtfully went to get the newspaper from the mailbox on the east side when he came back. Alice has prepared breakfast.
Derek, who had two dark circles under his eyes, ate the breakfast in front of him silently. It was just simple toast and salad, but it was still as delicious as dinner. The secret lies in just the right oven temperature and Alice’s signature salad dressing.
But Derek seemed to have little energy to praise Alice. Mechanical chewing of food brought to the mouth.
Zach patted Derek on the shoulder, with an expression on his face that matched the expression of 'excitement about going out for a trip', "Are you ready? We will have a great time today!"
Before Derek could answer, Zach picked up his portion of breakfast, "I'm going to see Benjamin." and left.
Benjamin returned to bed without any surprise. He directly took the breakfast delivered by Zach, "Don't forget. You are a bad tour guide." Benjamin also didn't use cutlery, scooped up the salad from the toast, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Are you going to take Derry with you?" Where are you going?"
"First stop, the cemetery." Zach shook his head.
Benjamin glanced at Zach. "Hank told him?"
Everyone is right. When Antony picked up Caesar, Alpha had already gone to bed. Eat more and sleep more, remember.
Focus on the mission where Hank and Derek are talking. It's up to the vampire. So Zach didn't actually sleep at all last night. Wrong, I'm pretending to sleep.
Not long after Derek came out of Old Hank's room, he heard Sibella coming.
Maybe you, like me, thought that being told that Grande Sr. was dead put an end to the conversation, but that’s not the case.
"Then go to the original West End Cemetery." Zach pursed his lips with a helpless expression, "Obviously, Old Hank did the same thing as he did to Blake." Zach shook his head again, "He hid his real life … Well, it’s protected.”
Benjamin's cheeks bulged due to the food, but this did not prevent him from expressing his doubts and asked vaguely, "What are you talking about?"
Zach waved his hand and said, "Hank put 'our father'..." in quotation marks. "He described his life as being too enthusiastic about his career and neglecting the people he loved around him. This image." Zach paused. , "Of course, that lover refers to Derek's mother."
Benjamin frowned. What was supposed to be a tribute to Grande's true owner now seems to have degenerated into another whitewashing lie.
"We have decided to cooperate with Hank's decision." Zach shrugged, "If this is the story Hank told Derek, then we will perfect it." Zach's expression was a little relaxed, "We want Go to Grande’s old office on the West Side, and with any luck, I’ll just spend the whole day there to experience the ‘old days’.”
"What about our story?" Benjamin shook his head, "Have you thought about us..." Benjamin also made a gesture of quotation marks, "'Mother,' how are you going to make it up?"
The smile on Zach's face was very strange. He looked at Benjamin and said, "No need for me to make it up, Hank has finished it." Zach blinked, "It's about compensation, it's about starting over and repeating the same mistakes."
Benjamin frowned, his cheeks moved, and he shook his head.
Zach continued to explain, "Hank took advantage of the age difference between our file and Derek's." It's a bit funny, isn't it? "If I didn't know Grand Old very well, I would have believed Old Hank's story." Ke's eyes moved to one side, "A lonely, sad, sad man met a similar woman and made up his mind not to make the same mistake again and to protect his family."
Benjamin swallowed the last bite of food, "Then history repeated itself." Benjamin shook his head, "Hank must have watched too many soap operas."
Zach didn't know what he was thinking and chuckled, "That's not bad. As long as it matches the records in our files, he can say whatever he wants. That's his wish."
The sound of the engine entered the backyard, then turned off. Zach walked to the window and looked at the opened car door, where a woman wearing sunglasses stepped out. Uh, here comes Ethera.
Zach clicked his tongue. As soon as he thought of this woman, she came. She was indeed a troublesome woman!
Yes, Zach just thought about this troubled woman, the vampire and the alpha, the two ghosts who would darken the 'Barton symbol', their legal identity files, who everyone thought they were when Anthony didn't have much power. Made? This is the woman who is now raising her chin, looking around the backyard of the Grand House and taking off her sunglasses!
Zach stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, 'pop'! This is telling the other party that the person you are looking for is here.
The face whose age was concealed by exquisite make-up raised, looked at the two people at the warehouse window, curved the corner of his mouth, closed the car door, and walked this way.
Zach felt the body heat of the Alpha beside him disappear. The vampire grabbed Alpha who was about to leave and raised his eyebrows, "Where are you going?"
Benjamin turned back and looked at Zach, "Restaurant, have breakfast."
Zach looked at the plate that had just been swept away from Benjamin's hands and frowned, "Benjamin, don't let me stay alone with her. I can't guarantee that I won't do something I shouldn't do."
"That's best." Benjamin shook off Zach's hand, "Please feel free to do as you like." Abandoning the vampire, Alpha walked toward the stairs.
Frowning, Zach stared at Benjamin's body gradually sinking on the stairs, and the sound of high heels colliding with the wooden stairs was met as they went up.
"Benjamin." There was surprise in Aisela's tone, "Long time no see!"
Zach didn't hear Benjamin's answer, but within a short while, Benjamin's back appeared in front of the warehouse door, patting his shoulders with one hand, as if he was getting rid of something annoying, and walked out of the warehouse.
"Look at him." Aisela's voice sounded, "Just like before, he won't hide it." Wearing formal clothes, she stepped onto the open second floor and walked towards Zach.
It's not a pantsuit like Crowley's, Aisela's lower body is a group suit. But as if to show off her taste, fine silver threads were woven into patterns and attached to the surface of the clothing. From a specific angle, you could see a faint silver light radiating from around this woman's body.
oh! This has nothing to do with low-key luxury. We all know what she's in for!
The vampire frowned and ignored the other person's extended hand, "What are you doing here?" Zach glanced at Aisela who started to walk around and look at her, and turned away, "I thought you were smart enough to understand Grande's Welcome."
"Of course I know." Esera smiled, and sat on Alpha's bed 'consciously', crossing her legs, leaning forward, and the silver cross necklace in her collar gently slipped out, "But I also know You won't kick me out." She looked at the vampire with a smile, put her palms against her heels, took off her high heels, and placed them directly on Alpha's bed. She leaned back casually, holding the mattress with both hands, smiling broadly. He continued to look around.
"Nothing has changed here." Aisela's eyes fell on Zach, "You haven't changed at all."
"Of course." Zach smiled, "We are not human beings." (..)
