According to Skoll's requirements, there are actually only three people who can meet the requirements, Zach himself, Benjamin who has already asked Alice to add a second portion, and old Hank who just stares at the guests at the table.
Grande has always represented a composition that has seniors, muscles, and brains as a whole. The other people, Louise and Alice, are just accessories. Torture will have no value. Jumping directly to blackmail, I am afraid that time will not be enough for Barton's powerful people to uncover Herman's secret.
Employee-like roles like Matthew and Danny are even less likely. Great Dane King? Seriously.
"Book… "
"Ben.Jie.Ming." Zach started to speak but was cut off by Alpha, misinterpreting it as an internal 'contradiction' that only these two guys could understand. But when the meaning was expressed, Benjamin woke up from the hallucination and was not in the mood to be the weakling who was kidnapped.
Zach pursed his lips and looked at the old Hank who was dissatisfied with the whole plan from the beginning, "Hank?"
"Me?!" Old Hank finally changed the target of his glare and howled at Zach, "You want to push me out?! Me?!"
The weird old man attacks Zach with repeated self-affirmations.
Zach wrinkled his face helplessly, "Hank." It was just a name, but it contained serious persuasion.
"Can you change someone?" Skoll frowned unexpectedly and looked at old Hank, "Hank is the senior."
"Of course I am!" Old Hank seemed to get support and became even more excited, "When these guys were little gangsters, who wiped their butts!"
This is to say that killers do not grow up in a day. Hank’s old job as a cleaner has used his work to protect the healthy growth of generations of killers...
So Skoll's current proposal seems to come from the elder's morality.
Benjamin's finger, no. The tips of the claws were embedded into the wooden dining table, and the plush, broad palms pulled out tunnels as they moved.
"Hank, we will do our duty as our descendants. Just go to our place to rest for a few days." Just like when he saw the vampire's teeth, Skoll completed the transition very naturally.
smart people.
Old Hank glared at the people at the table and clicked his tongue heavily. He left cursing.
"Then." Zach also stood up, "I'm going to prepare some documents. It won't be too formal. Can a memorandum-style record be okay?"
Skoll nodded, and when Zach was about to leave the restaurant, he still frowned and reminded, "Don't really come up with anything I shouldn't know. I don't want to be targeted by those people in the West End."
Zach smiled and nodded. It's a redundant reminder that Grande isn't going to ruin his career on his own.
Dinner was over, and the sky was completely dark. Even in midsummer, the sun cannot stay in the sky forever. It must give way to the stage where the stars can shine.
Although the purpose of everything is just to show off to Herman and Barton's various forces, it is a rough show. It doesn't satisfy Zach and Skoll's plan, and to do it, you have to do the whole thing. Isn't it
The back of Grande's truck was neatly stacked with video tapes. Grande's two brothers were also sitting in the car. They were about to leave Grande and go to Smith to return the tapes. The point is not what they are going to do, but that they have to travel temporarily.
The three Skolls remain in Grande. They wanted to create some traces of their visit, but Zack and them had agreed with each other that anything related to food, such as vampire bottles, blood jars, everyone in the kitchen, and inhuman rations. Can't touch. Furniture left over from Grande's previous generation, desks, chairs, bookcases... cannot be touched.
The rest, the things Benjamin and Zach made themselves, and the coffins in the showroom that no one looked at, were just random.
When the truck left, Old Hank actually carried a ridiculous baggage and still sat in Skoll's car cursing.
Everything is going smooth.
Under the stars and moonlight, Grande's truck drove onto Route 27. It was a special purpose to pass by Herman's factory to tell Herman, "Hey, we're out."
After passing the North District and entering the West District, the truck drove directly to Smith Manor.
The manors at night give people a strange feeling, especially Smith Manor. Remember when Zach was here before? It seemed like a noble palace that had been evacuated. There were very few servants and decorations. At this time, Smith Manor looked more like a tomb in the darkness.
The only window with a light on reflected the figure of a girl, swaying back and forth, like a wandering spirit. Forget it, don't worry about this girl who has been hurt repeatedly. Smith was surprised by Grande's sudden visit. The man who looked like a butler trotted to the gate of the manor, opened the iron gate, and guided the direction of the truck.
Zach could actually understand the deep reason behind Crowley's unnecessary move. She just wanted Zach to come and see Smith in person.
This is a heart-wrenching guilt attack. Crowley knew that vampires would not feel guilty that the devil's property was deprived of her when she left Barton, so let the vampire feel guilty about his arrangements for Smith's future.
Smith was just freed from Crowley's hands without his knowledge, washed clean like the meat on the chopping board, waiting for Rimmer to take over.
Who is the person who caused this but our vampire? Who should be guilty, not the vampire
"What a pleasant surprise." Smith stood at the main entrance of the manor in person, smiling and looking at the two Grande brothers who got off the car in the driveway, "I would also like to find a chance to visit you."
In the eyes of Smith, who was completely ignorant of his future, Grande was the hero behind the scenes who helped him kill 'Valmina' with a side commission. The benefits that the Quest incident can bring are still unknown, but the benefits that the 'Valmina' incident can bring are real money! His words at this time couldn't be more appropriate.
"Come in, it would be better if your friend No. Rippert is also there, we need to celebrate." Smith smiled and turned sideways, guiding the way in.
"No need." Zach smiled and rejected Smith's invitation. Crowley's goal was achieved. Zach couldn't bear to discuss this so-called 'celebration' with Smith.
"We have something we need to give you." Zach and Benjamin walked to the back compartment and opened the door, revealing the tapes piled up in the darkness.
Smith was a little confused at first, but after seeing something, his eyes lit up and he quickly picked up a roll. No need to explain, of course he knew what it was!
"How did you find it?!" This was the question that blurted out in surprise.
Zach just pursed his lips.
Smith smiled and patted Zach on the shoulder, "Sorry, I forgot your rules! Haha!"
The guilt offensive must have achieved better results than Crowley expected.
Zach didn't seem to be infected by Smith's joy at all, "As a complement to his previous refusal of your follow-up commission (Smith proposed that Zach recover the remaining leaked tapes, but Zach refused due to lack of ability. The end of Volume 8 Chapter). That’s all, the things have been delivered and it’s time for us to leave.”
"Haha!" Smith smiled, "All of them?! I believe you!"
A critical hit. (..)
