Near noon, the truck left Grande and headed north, to Hermann's factory.
Just past the junction of the north and south districts, the truck headed west, close to the southern border of Paisying, and stopped at the main entrance of Hermann's factory.
Zach and Benjamin got out of the car. The vampire pressed his hat brim listlessly and half-closed behind the tall Alpha. This is just a psychological comfort action. Benjamin's body does not have any blocking effect on the sun directly above his head.
Benjamin pushed the vampire helplessly, looked at the person approaching the factory's main entrance, and reminded the sluggish Zach, "It's your job to speak."
But Zach didn't react at all. He traced around Alpha's body, trying to find more shade.
"Here you are, Mr. Herman is waiting inside." It should be Herman's assistant.
"Inside." Zach lowered his head and responded listlessly, "Very good, no one likes to be outdoors at noon." Then he lost his voice and continued to hold Alpha, followed the greeter, and headed inside the factory. Walk.
Benjamin tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly, useless vampire!
This section of the road should have been the best opportunity to test it out. When Grande had no idea what was going on with Herman, Grande had been warned in advance by the mind-reader Eli - don't answer! So when Benjamin reminded Zach to speak, it was not to make fun of the vampire's usual behavior, but to get as much information as possible before meeting the real owner.
To put it clearly, you need a reason to reject Herman's commission. I'm afraid no normal person would accept the 'Apparition of the Holy Son' that worked for Mrs. Quinn!
But as Herman is the client, is it possible that he could tell the two men at Grande information that would cause them to reject him? Of course not, so the reason for this rejection can only be found in the person Herman thought he was. This means talking to the guy leading the way.
"Herman has a nice factory." Benjamin twitched his lips and looked around as he walked, walking most of the distance with the intention of making a joke. I just squeezed out such a sentence! Well, talking is not Alpha's job.
The man leading the way looked back at the two brothers who were standing strangely close together and smiled, "Of course, this is Barton's factory." There was some pride in his expression, considering Barton's history. A lot has been said, and everyone should understand that this statement is correct.
The man's expression suddenly changed, but he immediately turned his head and continued to lead the way, his expression no longer clear. He seemed to want to hide it and raised his voice, "First time?"
Benjamin glanced at Zach and shook his head. He no longer expected the vampire in this state to be able to capture any details, "This is the first time." Benjamin frowned, trying hard to continue the conversation, "Is this place usually open to visitors?"
"Hehehe..." The person leading the way responded with a nervous laugh.
Not hearing any reaction from the people behind him, the guy leading the way seemed to realize that he was inexplicable and coughed awkwardly, "Not open."
Benjamin twitched his lips, "Is this the first time you're asking?"
Forgive Alpha's annoyance. He is not very good at dialogue, and he will naturally be unhappy if he is forced into a dead end after trying to force himself into someone.
"Is there anything unexpected here before... any uninvited guests?" A listless voice said. Floating from the vampire's mouth. Zach still has a sense of responsibility, knowing that Benjamin has tried his best, so he can only reluctantly step in.
"Uh..." The person leading the way turned and glanced at Zach, seeming to hesitate for a long time, "It's not really an 'uninvited guest', just some minor accidents."
Zach's question was not random. Ai Li had already said that the content of the commission was to find "something", and Herman made an appointment to meet at the factory. It was reasonable to assume that anyone could do it.
At this time, the other party's answer seemed to make Zach get the point.
"A little accident." It was still a lackluster voice, and Zach seemed completely too lazy to modify his tone. Without energy, it sounds like contempt, "Then we are here to deal with this little accident."
The person leading the way became strangely silent and quickened his pace. In a moment, he had stepped into the shadow of a building that should be an office complex.
"Listen!" The person leading the way had already pressed his hand on the door handle, but suddenly faced the two people in Grande, with a serious expression on his face, "This is not a small accident!" He emphasized. '.
The vampire who finally felt relaxed stretched his arms, took off his sunglasses, and looked at the other person with a confused and innocent expression. The recovered vampire began to do what he did best. Zach lowered his head slightly and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. The sunshine made me a little agitated."
The guy leading the way twitched his lips, not bothering to investigate the sudden change in words and deeds of this well-dressed guy. He waved his hand and opened the door, "It's Pai Siying!" He walked in front again.
Zach blinked at Benjamin and followed, using a sufficiently puzzled tone, "Pai Siying?"
The office area of the factory was different from what the Grande brothers expected. The narrow corridor went straight forward, with left and right walls and a half-open door appearing after a long distance. Occasionally, someone notices a stranger appearing in the corridor, glances at it with no kindness, and then closes the door...
"Listen!" This is the idiom of the guide at this time. He doesn't seem to like to talk about these things. "It's no secret that we don't get along with the people in Paisiying! From time to time, those guys will come to us. Something! Cause me some trouble!"
The corridor had only reached the middle distance when a suddenly turning stairwell appeared, and the person leading the way waved up the stairs.
"What trouble?"
The guide clicked his tongue disdainfully, "Most of the time they steal things, materials, tools, etc. They will steal hundreds of thousands of things and sell them as scrap metal for a few hundred yuan!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you are from Pai Siying?"
This question was not answered, but was met with a blank stare. Local history, this guy obviously doesn't feel the need to explain (Volume 10, James Undercover, and the segment with Chester).
Zach catered to the other party's emotions very well and nodded awkwardly, "It sounds like the police can solve these things."
The guide glanced at Zach again.
Zach used a hesitant tone and said nonsense, "Unless the police can't solve it."
"We can't let them solve it!" was the unexpected reply.
Zach raised his eyebrows and followed the other person around a turn again. Diagonally above, Mr. Herman was standing at the end of the stairs holding a glass of wine in one hand, "The time is just right!"
Mr. Herman waved his hand, the leader nodded, turned around, passed by the two Grande brothers he had brought, and went down.
After all, the vampire didn't get anything out of him on the road before meeting the 'boss'. Blame the sun. (..)
