As Zach spoke slowly, Jackson's eyes changed from confusion to calmness, and then he lost his composure and walked out of the office 'obediently'. He was going back to the car to take a nap.
The crimson color faded from his eyes, and Zach smiled and looked at Blake, who had his eyes widened. "Are you surprised?" Zach smiled and waved, then picked up the wine glass and sipped it lightly as if he asked casually.
Blake looked away, seemed to adjust his mood, and asked slowly and hesitantly, "Mayor, does the mayor know?"
Just a little reminder, when Zach called Anthony last night, he didn't foresee Blake being at Anthony's house.
Everyone wondered how the mayor of Barton City, Anthony, would explain to his employees how a funeral business owner in the South District knew the home phone number of the mayor, whom he had only met twice. Both sides? Well, that's right, it was put on the table, once when the South Side Mill was built, and once at Mrs. Queen's dinner party.
Anthony didn't waste any energy explaining Zach's guess, so when Blake picked up the phone, he confirmed it with confusion, and then continued without mentioning the matter at all.
Blake has shown with all his actions that he is a person who is good at keeping things in mind.
"We are friends." Zach said with a smile, feeling a little helpless, "But he doesn't like me using this ability." Zach tilted his head, "Or any other ability. So if anything happens, he will Put me far away. Even if we help each other, we have to go in a big circle."
The vampire was vague enough, but he got the point across. Grande is the only funeral owner in Barton who still has a cemetery. He used the sophistry of "citizens need the right to choose"; during the jailbreak incident, Zach went around for a long time before sending news that was beneficial to the mayor to Bray. In Ke's hands, it was delivered too late... These are facts that Blake can see, and they are already very illustrative of the problem.
Blake pursed her lips, thinking. Now his head is a little messed up. Of course, revisiting the Grande House!
This funeral home in the southernmost part of Barton had a long history before it became associated with them in the west! Those commissions solved by Grande, the method used is...
"You may find it ridiculous." Zach swung his wine glass, "I initially reached an agreement with Mrs. Quinn. The reason for accepting the commission was just because I needed the money from those old guys in the West District."
Straightforward enough.
Zach pouted, "I'm a very bad undertaker." Still smiling, he pointed to his eyes, "It doesn't suit me to stand on the street with red eyes and ask passers-by to give me money. Code of Conduct…”
Before he could finish his self-confession, he was interrupted, and Blake frowned. He looked at Zach and asked in an uncertain tone, "Why are you telling me this?"
Zach paused for a moment and nodded inexplicably, "I really don't have to. I can do the same thing to you as I did to Jackson. You won't remember anything."
Never underestimate the little spot between a human's eyebrows, he can frown to the point that a flounder would die of envy.
It's just that Blake's expression is complicated and confused. It's giving up, it's a trace of 'finished'. I feel like I'm about to be silenced.
Zach looked at Blake's weird expression and blinked his eyes with a pleasant smile, "I want to give you a choice, just like I did to Jackson, you won't remember anything. Or, we can Be a true friend. I need, need a friend between Grande and Anthony, the future mayor."
Zach waited for Blake to react for a moment, then continued, "I also need a friend between Grande and West End. It's easy for you to understand."
Do you see what Zach is going to do
Grande's attributes in the city of Barton, this mixed family of alien and human beings are like an isolated island in the human city, but it has built a bridge with the city. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but these bridges are getting wider and wider.
Grande is a member of the gray professional circle; he is an enthusiastic citizen; he is the last support that the mayor does not want to use (for his competitors, his ex-wife Ethela who knows Grande’s existence anyway), the worse Anthony’s situation becomes, the worse Grande’s situation becomes. Wanting to act against the mayor's wishes, that's pretty much what it means); he is a paid helper for the people of the West End.
From the beginning of this story to the present, let's relate it to people who know Zach's "specialness".
No. Repet, as the person who introduced Grande to join the gray professional circle, he is naturally the buffer between Grande and the professional circle. No is Grande’s only person to turn to when he unprofessionally leaks, and vice versa, it’s the same, just with different expertise.
Please exclude Mr. Steve Walker, who is a businessman. His position has nothing to do with Grande. It belongs to the Indian and gray professional circles.
James Lance, ah, this guy who appeared first, of course corresponds to the enthusiastic citizens. The 'enthusiastic' citizens have to deal with things beyond the scope of the police's capabilities for Barton, and the 'enthusiastic' human police have to pay attention to those strange cases for Grande, and finally work together to make an ending that is acceptable to both humans and aliens.
Please exclude Chapman, hey, he is Crowley's man, don't forget. As for Wes in the South District, Zach was helpless. It would be great if Wes could show up earlier. In order to maintain a healthy cooperative relationship with James even if they are unhappy with each other, Wes must not touch...
There are still two buffers corresponding to the bridge. Vampires are not easily attracted to people, and James is already a helpless example of partnering with someone who is not in his best interest.
At this time, the Blake Stone in front of us can just represent the two bridges. Our vampire is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye!
Blake has the same understanding and tolerance of things as No., and has the same positive heart as James. When it comes to the most important ability to put aside prejudice, what troubles Zach the most about James is Blake's own unique attributes.
"Grand, including old Hank." Zach raised his eyebrows, "We all like you." He was inciting Blake to agree to him!
"I… "
"When Grande comes into contact with the outside world." Zach doesn't want to hear Blake's excuses, "It's always so frustrating." Zach shook his head, as if helpless, "You know Grande's Where did the so-called rules come from?”
Blake seemed to be taken in by Zach's words and showed a look of surprise.
"You should also know why we behaved strangely when we met Ethera at Mrs. Quinn's dinner party."
Blake's mind went around in a circle and murmured, "They were married before." Blake suddenly realized again and looked at Zach, "Ai, Aisela knows you, you, you..." How to express it? ? Zach hasn't really shown his true colors yet.
"Special." Zach raised his eyebrows. Zach had said before that the other party hadn't chosen the choice he gave him yet!
"Special, special." Blake repeated confusedly.
There was silence in the office.
Zach sipped his wine and waited honestly for the answer.
"Can I go back and think about it?" Blake thought for a long time and seemed to realize that he had made his master wait for too long, so he asked unnaturally.
"Of course." Zach smiled and nodded, "Don't be stressed." He raised his eyebrows again and added, "It's just a small loss of memory. You won't feel anything after that. You can follow Jackson and feel it. .”
Blake glanced at Zach with a wry smile. He knew it was a joke, but he couldn't relax. He repeated silently, "No pressure..." (..)
