Zach is now faced with a choice. He is standing next to Amelia. He has successfully seen Mayor Anthony and Blake at the luncheon venue. As long as he walks over, Zach can use the charm in Grande in the morning. Hitomi told everything he asked, which was also the main reason why he attended this luncheon.
But at the same time, Amelia also saw the direction of the old people in the West End, and her target was Mrs. Quinn. Zach had promised Amelia to help, so at this time, she completely ignored Zach's wishes and pulled Zach, trying to move in that direction.
It's just an attempt. Human women don't have the ability to pull a vampire who deliberately doesn't want to move.
By the way, this choice is not a choice about which side Zach wants to go to first, but a choice about which side he doesn't want to go to first. It needs to be explained.
First of all, we need to confirm that the guests at this luncheon coincide with the guest list at yesterday's funeral, and they are all powerful people in Barton. It can be roughly assumed that Bishop yesterday also wanted to socialize with these people in the name of the funeral.
However, due to the quarrel that Zach overheard during the funeral convoy - Ms. Sher tore away the last layer of integrity inside Bishop. The conflicts within the family made them temporarily give up the social interaction that they should have at the funeral, and the whole process was stinky. Faces, it can be said, are guarded against each other, and no one is talking to anyone.
At today's luncheon, this family has obviously resolved or given up on resolving their internal conflicts. On Mrs. Quinn's side, Zach's two targets, the old Bishops, were sitting, talking with Barton and Quinn. What. On Mayor Anthony's side, Ms. Sher was lining up anyone who tried to get close to Anthony, occupying the mayor, and was also talking about something.
If Bishop was also at this luncheon, Zach could at least see something through this unopinionated host Bishop, but. There is no sign of Bishop here at all! On such an occasion, the man conveniently mourned the untimely death of his son at home!
Zach doesn’t want to go anywhere now!
"Let's wait." Zach directly carried Emilia, who was constantly trying to move, towards the third direction - the bar.
Although Emilia was reluctant, she could only do this. In this banquet, without her male companion, Zach was the only one she knew well.
The bar is a lonely place. Except for the waiter who came and went, no one came. After all, this is not a nightclub. It is a luncheon, a social occasion, and an occasion with a clear purpose. No one is wasting time at the bar waiting for someone to come to them.
However, nothing is absolute, some things are not waiting for you, they just hit your face in one step!
Emilia waved impetuously to the bartender behind the bar and ordered two glasses of tequila, which had a calming effect.
However, "I said two!" One was for Zach. Emilia needed to vent her bad mood, and the bartender who mistakenly put only a small glass became the target of her venting.
This is a bartender who is dressed a little strangely. His Indian appearance does not matter, but what makes people feel weird is that in a luncheon where all the waiters are wearing black ties, he is the only one wearing a bolo tie.
The bartender, who was dressed in capricious clothes, curled up the corners of his mouth, but still showed no intention of correcting his mistake, and filled a wine glass in front of Zach. "This gentleman should have brought his own 'drinks'. Right?"
Zach narrowed his eyes, it was a voice he had just heard recently! Recall, who was the Indian who spoke to Zach recently? Only Boysen!
Zach held down Emilia who was about to get angry, and took out his snack can from the pocket of his three-piece formal suit with a smile on his face, "You understand me very well." It's weird, but people who understand will respond immediately. ! Zach makes his own square metal wine bottle. Standing on the bar, "But you can still provide a container."
"Of course." Boyson placed an empty glass next to the wine bottle, took Zach's wine bottle very consciously, and unscrewed it, like a truly attentive waiter. Tilt the mouth of the bottle and pour the bright red liquid into the wine glass. Boyson raised his eyebrows and said, "Good taste."
Because before Benjamin left, remember, in order to deliberately make Zach angry, he and a group of homeboys ate a lot of mutton chops. Alpha also deliberately selected a few strong ones... So Zach's current rations are what he had before in the southeast The food stored in the department is human blood. This is what good taste means.
Emilia only glanced at the liquid in the cup, her uncomfortable expression flashed away, and she didn't want to participate in the conversation. She emptied her tequila and went to the dressing room without saying hello.
Boyson didn't pay attention to Amelia at all. Whether she recognized him or not was still a question. However, after he filled the wine glass, he did not hand the wine glass to the guest Zach like a waiter, but pulled it towards him. Smiling weirdly at Zach, he protected the wine glass with one hand and slid the other hand over the rim of the glass.
Zach witnessed a white speck being quickly thrown into his glass! Quickly dissolves and disappears in bright red liquid! Much like 'Valmina' who should have disappeared! Stop being like that, just say it, it’s that thing!
Zach raised his eyebrows, looked at the wine glass that was pushed in front of him, and said hesitantly, "Are you expecting me to drink this?" 'Varmina' made Alpha lose control!
"Honestly, I am!" Boyson looked at Zach. The feeling of being constantly interrupted on the phone came back again! Such straightforward actions and words made Zach really lose his ability to deal with it.
"I think you should know what this is?" Boyson looked directly into Zack's eyes. At a luncheon full of people, he had no scruples at all! "Don't you dare?"
Zach frowned, determined to make the other party regret it! We vampires twitched our lips and decided not to accept any interruption from the other party and to dominate this conversation!
Zach casually picked up the wine glass in front of him. Fortunately, it was a small round wine glass. Zach tipped the glass upside down very rudely, letting the liquid spread freely on the bar.
"Oops." Zach tilted his head, without any sincerity of apology, "Sorry, it spilled, please clean it up."
Boyson raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zach, and seemed to realize something - the method he used to constantly interrupt the rhythm of Zach's conversation was used by the other party. Basically it means not following the script.
Boyson shrugged, cleaned it up skillfully, and murmured an unclear complaint in his mouth, "It's such a waste, my inventory was wasted."
Zack definitely didn't care what 'inventory' meant. What is leading a conversation is to ignore whatever distractions the other party throws at you and just pursue what you want to say, such as -
"Why are you here on such an occasion?" Zach picked up his bottle and asked casually. Then with an indifferent smile. Correction, "Probably why do you still dare to appear in front of me."
There is a problem here. The occasion limits Zach really can't do anything to this guy in front of Barton's powerful people, but it is still possible to get the reason for his appearance here. After all, Zach cares about this luncheon. people. There is such an unknown Indian wizard sneaking in, no matter how you look at it, it seems suspicious! That’s where Zach’s conversation is heading at this point.
"Is Barton's only traditional funeral owner such a narrow-minded person?" The rag in Boyson's hand was stained with dazzling bright red. He carefully folded the rag and stuffed it into his pocket. Stuffed it into his pocket. Repeat and continue, "I just hung up on you once because I was interrupted by personal matters. Do you just remember the person you met for the first time?"
Good conversation skills, if Zach defends himself, the topic will be brought up. Boysen successfully interrupted Zach's rhythm again.
However, Zach curled his lips. He nodded as if he was reminded, "Yes, it seems that I am such a person."
Boysen frowned and watched Zach continue.
"You haven't answered my question yet, the person who hung up on me." Zach's face became serious, and he was now playing the role of a 'small-minded person'. Zach seemed to be very handy, "If you don't answer me, I will report it to your manager that you brought something that shouldn't have appeared to this occasion." Zach turned his head and quickly found the man who was talking to Farr. Ken chats with Smith. "Or I tell you directly..."
"You win." Boyson put away all the expressions on his face and spoke in a low voice, "I am just a declining gray professional." He glanced at Zach, and the stiff facial lines tugged at the corners of his mouth. He moved a little and said, "Master of the prosperous Grande, there is no need to be so forceful with me. What do you want to know?"
It seemed that the other party had given up resistance, but Zach was not that stupid.
You see, this guy pulled out the gray professional circle. Boyson, who should have some self-awareness, knew that he could no longer get close to Grande in terms of the attributes of the foreign race. Thirteen years ago, when he sold Ian's blood to old Hank, he would not have expected that Ian's father Za Hank came to Barton three years later, and finally became a family with old Hank!
Then this cunning guy begins to gain sympathy in his other identity! Gray professional! As he said, the declining gray profession!
Zach didn't want to talk about the feelings of 'decline and prosperity' in detail, and impatiently pointed his finger at his wine bottle, "You have already heard the question, don't make me ask it again."
Boyson frowned and looked at the indifferent Zach. He was silent for a while, then suddenly opened his eyebrows and changed his expression. It was straight-up disgust! He changed his response method, "You really want to know? Do you think I like hanging out in a place like this? Haha, it's not because of you!"
Zach ignored the change in the other person's expression and said before, no matter what the other person throws, just ignore it. Our vampire fingers directly clasped the wine bottle, turned around in front of the bar, and faced Smith's direction. This was a warning. If the other party tried to distract him again, Zach would go directly over, "I still haven't heard the answer."
Boyson twitched the corners of his mouth and turned his head in a certain direction, "Okay! Look over there, that's why I'm here!"
Zach sat upright in front of the bar again and looked at where Boyson indicated.
Mrs. Queen was still talking about something with old Bishop and his wife.
Zach frowned, this time he was not acting, he was sincere. Because Zach realized something!
Boysen just said that he came here because of Zach.
So what did Zach do? Mr. Quinn 'left' first, but succeeded in sending Mrs. Quinn, who had half her foot in the coffin, to Grande. Then, under what we can now consider to be a destined arrangement of providence, Grande and Mrs. Quinn were brought to Grande at the same time. Changed destiny.
Zach withdrew his gaze with a strange expression on his face, "Bochi, why don't you give up?"
It is already obvious that Boyson was Porch's 'helper' before Grande got involved in the Quinn family and rewrote the fate of countless people! That unintentionally said from the mouth of the undead Jackson that he met Pochi with "a very dangerous Indian with special skills"!
Zach subconsciously looked in Blake's direction, but did not see Jackson's figure. He might have been pushed away by Blake again.
Well, there’s no need for Jackson to confirm it, Boysen himself has already admitted it! After all, this conversation failed to allow Zach to successfully lead the direction, and was still biased towards the gray career mentioned by Boysen! Zach lost, and he asked for it...
"Hmph." Boyson glanced at Zach, "Now you know, are you satisfied? You ruined my job first. Now I have to be brought in by my old employer to deal with the aftermath, and you are going to ruin my job again. What, the master of Grande?"
Zach looked in the direction of Mrs. Quinn and shook his head. Oh, this is not an answer to Boyson, but I think of some meaningless metaphysical questions. For example, if Alice did not have compassion at that time, and Grande did not have the financial pressure after the privatization of the funeral industry, everything would I'm afraid things would never be what they are now.
Our vampire shook his head again, which was a concrete action to throw away meaningless thoughts. He looked at Boyson, "Unfortunately, I just promised a friend to help her with something."
Zach's eyes casually swept in the direction of the dressing room. Emilia never came back. She was truly a discerning woman who insisted on being herself. She didn’t want to touch things between interracial people at all.
"We still need Mrs. Quinn to live in good health for the time being." Zach curled his lips. Well, since the facts have irresistibly limited the direction of the conversation to the gray profession, then Zach will just accept it, "As a prosperous professional, Master of Rand, some advice for a declining gray profession, you."
Zach looked at Boyson's gloomy face and said, "Let me guess, the remuneration paid by Boqi will not still be paid by Quinn Group's check, will it be ten thousand or twenty thousand?" Zach had a frivolous face. smile.
Recall that Poch also tried to bribe Grande in the past. We know how that ended.
"Haha." Zach shook his hand to put an end to this unexpected encounter. "Considering that it is impossible to cash these checks, you should give up on this old customer."
Well, Zach still won. (..)
