When Zach returned to Grande, the sky was already dark.
Zach could have come back very early. The West District Police backed up the data very quickly. He stayed in the lounge for an hour or two before being notified that he could go back. But he took the initiative to stay. The vampire's excuse was to accompany Hardy, his former old employee.
In the end, the owner of Grande was unprepared to be notified by the police that his former property had been used for illegal activities, and his former employees turned out to be criminals in drug trafficking.
One fine morning, I was suddenly asked to bring information and come to the police station to assist in the investigation. Then I came to the police station alone and anxious, and saw that the former office (West Grand) had become what it is now, torturing teenagers while conducting dirty transactions. It would be a blow to anyone.
Maybe the owner of Grande just wanted to gain some psychological comfort by confronting the criminal in person who had committed a crime but was successfully exonerated through a lawyer's agreement.
Of course, this is just the conjecture of the kind-hearted police officers in the West District. The only reason why Zach stayed was to make the final handover of work with Old Hardy. He quit looking for Woody's commission.
In order to wait for Old Hardy, Zach played the role of the heartbroken boss while consuming coffee from the police station. He waited all day... But this whole day was not a waste. Zach gained a lot!
Our vampire sits quietly in the police station, using his inhuman senses to receive all information.
What the lawyer said to Zach before seemed very light, but the actual operation was not simple.
After No and Zach separated yesterday, they obviously started taking action immediately, going back and forth between Smith and Hardy Sr. to reach a consensus.
Old Hardy's current cooperation is obviously not completely 'coerced'. The lawyer also mentioned that Old Hardy was lucky this time, and his agreement would wash away all the 'old debts' he had with him. After everything is completed, Old Hardy will be placed in the federal tainted witness protection system, and everything in the past will be washed away.
Take a look, you can already imagine the sight of various documents and forms flying in the air.
Zach was right. If he doesn't meet old Hardy now, he may not have a chance in the future. Hardy will probably be closely 'protected' soon. Because the 'channel' controlled by Old Hardy doesn't just end after arriving in Newton!
Old Hardy himself had actually told Zach a long time ago that the channel between Valmina and Newton that he had used was the relationship between Grande and Grande. Relationships are Smith’s resources! do you understand? This road goes both ways!
Smith's products go out this way. It will not stop at Newton City, but will enter the hinterland of the Federation. Going the other way, 'Valmina' also came in through this road and came to Barton!
Within Barton, Smith did not tolerate moles, but outside of Barton, Smith did not have that influence! Those dealers outside Barton don't care where the goods are produced, they are businessmen. They only care about circulation!
Old guy Hardy is so lucky! He became Smith's tool to combat outside competition and became the representative of federal justice in the judicial system. Witnesses who have a complete channel in the federation!
The information in Hardy's hands is absolutely threatening to Smith and is a double-edged sword. This is why the lawyers are doing everything possible to fight for the interests of Old Hardy! It’s a win-win, no, it’s a win-win-win.
Still not right. It’s four wins! Don't forget, Zach is also very interested in 'Valmina'! Benjamin is still comatose in Sibella's house in an unknown condition. If the truth about 'Valmina' is not revealed, the vampire will not be happy!
The complex agreement brought endless squabbles and documents, and Zach was so excited in his heart. On the surface, I was quite shocked after waiting all day.
Finally, when it was over, Zach met with Old Hardy as he wished, accompanied by a lawyer and with a confidentiality agreement on the table.
Old Hardy said, "I have nothing more to say to Grande, I don't want to see you!" This is a pun that means different things to different people.
Zach received the message and felt happy that he didn't need to spend any energy to appease the other party. He continued to pretend to be shocked and left the police station silently.
When he returned to Grande, the lonely old Hank urged Zach to prepare dinner and stopped talking. Old Hank knew this ending when he heard Zach and James discussing it yesterday. Now it's just that everything has been realized, and there is no need to continue to struggle.
It was time to shift the focus here. Old Hank was alone in Grande, and it was getting late and there was no dinner. No one who traveled because of Laura came back. In this racially mixed family, the only person who accompanies Old Hank is the Great Dane King, who is lying on the kitchen counter in a daze.
She must have gone directly to the dance after playing outside all day. After all, Laura took Matthew's dress away when she took him away in the morning, so that was probably her plan.
Zach walked into the kitchen with a smile, preparing to prepare dinner for the hungry old man and the skinchanger. "Kim, turn into James to help." Zach was in a good mood, "This cooperation is good, I started to like this kind of cooperation." There is a sense of tacit cooperation.”
Jin looked at Zach with his dark eyes for a while, then shook his butt and walked away. Shapechangers are not prepared to satisfy the morbid tastes of vampires.
Zach didn't mind either and was handling the ingredients leisurely. He was going to finish cooking dinner and report today's situation to James, and then go to Sibella's house to visit Benjamin.
When old Hank was already knocking on the table impatiently, Zach finally brought out the dinner.
The cyan light and shadow lit up the moment the dinner plate collided with the wooden table. The scattered light spots gathered and formed on the dining table. It was the undead Dylan. The guy who was assigned to follow the phantom and inform him of the situation at any time met the vampire's eyes.
"Alice said, everyone is dead." Dylan said expressionlessly, "Everyone at the dance. They are the people we are looking for. He went to find Elena and was discovered by Danny. Well, after the battle, everyone was wiped out."
Old Hank complained that Zach knocked over the dinner plate and the steak stained with sauce fell on him, "Hey! What are you doing!"
Zach glanced at Old Hank, helped him up, and patted the food off him, "Dylan is back, we are going to find Woody."
Old Hank opened his eyes wide and stared at Zach, "He..."
"He has to die." Zach shook his head, "Sorry, Hank."
The vampire didn't wait for Hank's reply and disappeared. (..)
