The truck stopped in front of the mill. Zach had the illusion that this was not the cremation branch of the deserted funeral home in Grande. It was too, too busy...
The front yard in front of the mill was full of strange cars, strange staff coming and going, strange and grieving family members crowded inside and outside the mill... The only person Zach knew was the one who shuttled among the crowd, holding a stack of information, With a nervous smile on his face, Leon was the devil. He approached the grieving family members and said this -
"Are you xx's fiancée?"
"Yes, yes. Turn, is it xx's turn? I can take a last look at him..."
Leon interrupted the sad woman, "No, no, it's not your turn yet. I just want to tell you that besides you, xx also has two girlfriends."
"Wha, what..."
"Don't you always complain that xx always acts as a good guy and helps his co-workers, but doesn't get the pay he deserves? Now you know, he didn't help anyone, he just made excuses to have sex with two other women Went to play with friends."
"What? What?..."
"You still remember that time you went to the factory to find him, and he..."
Before Leon finished speaking, Zach grabbed his collar and pulled the devil away from the woman whose world collapsed again, "Leon." Zach tugged at the corner of his mouth, directly pulled Leon to push away the crowd and walked into the mill, "I remember I told you that you are not allowed to incite anyone or cause riots here. Do you want me to notify Crowley and ask her to replace you?"
"Incitement?" Leon's body tilted ridiculously, and Zach pulled him forward crookedly. "I'm not inciting anyone! I'm helping that poor woman get out of the shadows as soon as possible! That man is not a good thing! I'm helping her! I'm doing good things!"
Believe him or not. Don't forget, Lyon is a game player. A demon who can instigate a fight! With all the negativity running through the mill right now, this demon could incite a riot!
Zach ignored him and pulled the guy directly towards Madison's office.
The closer you get to Madison's office, the more crowded it becomes, with mill workers constantly coming in and out of the office carrying documents.
Zach frowned, pulled Leon directly, and pushed him into the office. The mill worker trying to enter the office was stopped by Zach. roll out.
"Hey! Who are you? You..."
The complaining voice made Madison look up from the desk and glanced at Zach who came in, Leon who was pushed aside by his collar, and a strange man carrying a childish backpack. He just clicked his tongue and waved his hand, "He is the boss, my boss. Get out."
"Uh. Oh. But this..." The staff member was holding the document in his hand and wanted to say something, but Zach took it directly and threw it on Madison's desk. He forced the door out and closed the door. The noise was blocked out.
Madison took the file that was just thrown on the table and took a look. Putting it under the pile of documents in front of him, "What are you doing here? Inspecting the work." He said in a cold tone.
Zach curled his lips, sat down opposite Madison, and looked at the documents on the desk. They were all documents related to cremation matters. Our vampire was not interested in these, "Just take it as such, as you said, I'm your boss."
Madison hummed softly and ignored Zach. He picked up the document in front of him, read it roughly, signed it, put it in a pile next to him, and continued to repeat. It is also a mechanical and boring job. But he had to do it. Zach also noticed that the documents had the word Herman on them. These documents seemed to be fed back to Herman as part of the contract with Herman.
You should still remember the reason why the mill is so busy. Herman's compensation plan - the affairs of the deceased people, was given to Grande's mill in a package of two million by Herman. Never mind the impersonal statement, it's the truth.
Seeing Madison's unwillingness to pay attention, Zach pursed his lips and mentally reminded himself why he came here. He shook his head helplessly, took out a pen from the pen holder on the table, and took half of the documents stacked in front of Madison.
Zach held the pen and watched Madison's signing action. He imitated the drawing twice in the air, and then began to sign the official document.
Madison frowned and glanced at Zach, "If you want to sign my name, you have to be responsible for my name. Tsk." He was impatient, "At least check what's on the document!"
Zach stopped writing, picked up the top document, and began to read.
This is a report document on the cremation process. What is recorded is when the body was put into the incinerator, when it was turned over, when and which parts were fully burned, crispy and broken... and when it was completely turned into powder and released.
"Even if I check this kind of thing, does it make sense?" Zach shook his head unnaturally and put down the file. Unlucky for him, he just happened to get a document that made the aliens most uncomfortable.
Madison also twitched his lips and glanced at Zach unhappily. Naturally, the document also contains reports such as identification of the recipient's relatives, cremation follow-up processing, request details, etc. Zach read the most uncomfortable part, and Madison would only think that Zach did it on purpose. .
But Madison thought he was more mature than Zach and would not retort childishly directly. He curled his lips and said, "It makes sense. I don't know if you have noticed that many of the workers in the mill are unfamiliar faces and are temporary workers." , I’m not going to be responsible for these temps’ mistakes, so check that out.”
Remember, Madison even said hello to Zach before hiring these temporary workers, purely to deal with Herman's contract.
Madison is quite good. In such a short period of time, there is no room for preparation at all. The picture Zach sees now is that although he is busy, he is still organized and not chaotic. Madison just took this sudden big 'business'.
Of course, today is just the beginning. Herman's business is 'all-inclusive'. In addition to the deceased who have been placed in the icehouse underground of the mill and are lining up to be cremated, there are also some temporary survivors. . Still staying in the hospital. Don't know how long it will last in total.
Zach shook his head while continuing to sign Madison's name without checking, "Grand has always used temporary workers." Farmers hired during burials. "There's nothing to worry about. I trust these honest people in the South District."
Madison glanced at Zach and said nothing, but it was obvious that Madison's signature speed had become faster. He stopped checking and omitted even rough reading.
"Speaking of temporary workers." Zach tilted his head. He raised an eyebrow and kept moving his hands, "I brought someone here for you."
Madison frowned. In the office, apart from Zach and Leon, there was only Brian, whom he didn't recognize, who was carrying a childish backpack. Standing in the corner, he looked at the office environment curiously.
"Let's make arrangements." Zach gave the boss-like order as if he didn't care. "Forget the important work, let him do some chores."
Brian didn't seem to realize that Zach was talking about him, but found Leon smiling at him from another corner of the room, so he smiled back. Two guys with abnormal nerves just smiled at each other in the office.
Madison twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "How long are you talking about temporarily?" Madison was worried that Zach would force people into the mill again. There is a bad example like Lyon, which proves that people like Zach will not be forced into the mill. What a good guy he is, Madison naturally wants to confirm.
Madison forgot. In fact, he can be regarded as the first person Zac came to the mill.
Zach raised an eyebrow. "It's just temporary."
Seeing that Zach had no intention of giving an accurate answer, Madison shook his head and glanced at Leon, "Take him out for a walk."
Leon seemed to respond happily. At this time, Zach deliberately put down his pen and glanced at Leon. This was a warning, warning him not to try to do anything with the devil again.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Brian reacted and received the smile he had given Leon before. He wanted to refuse but was pulled away by Leon.
Zach looked at Brian again and said calmly, "Brian, follow him out. It's very busy outside. Go help."
Brian looked at Zach's expression, said oh, and followed Leon honestly.
Madison, who was observing this, glanced at Zach and Brian, and then stopped at Zach after Leon took Brian away from the exit, frowning, "Who is he? Or, what is he?"
Zach had no interest in explaining, but this was a great opportunity to start his second purpose in coming to the mill.
"What if I told you?" Zach raised his eyebrows and continued to sign the documents. The corners of his mouth were curved, and his words were filled with a smile. "Would you turn around and tell your new best friend, the charming Riley?"
Madison stopped signing and looked up at Zach, frowning, "What do you mean?"
Zach shrugged his shoulders and kept moving forward, "Don't you understand? I mean, will you tell me about Grande's and my private matters to you, and then tell others about it later." After signing, After placing the documents in the gap aside, Zach spread his hands and said, "Sorry, it's none other than your new friend, Riley, a foreign seductress who has nothing to do with Grande or me. "
Sometimes, we are distracted by Zach's identity as a vampire, instead of seriously thinking about what kind of person he is. Look, these words now prove that he is not a very generous person. He was accusing Madison of telling others about Grande's personal affairs.
Madison looked at Zach. For a moment, there was only the sound of a single pen tip scratching across the paper in the office.
Madison was silent for a while, then lowered his head again, looked at the signature on the document, shook the pen in his hand, and added the sound of pen and paper scratching, "Are you a little too self-righteous?" Madison shook his head lightly, " What I said to Riley is my business and has nothing to do with you."
"Oh, really?" Zach raised his eyebrows. Of course, he was signing the document and didn't look at Madison. He only lowered his head slightly and raised an eyebrow under his forehead. "But it doesn't sound like it. I I think you can try to imagine the scene when I was interrupted by your phone call yesterday. I think I still maintain a calm image, but yesterday..."
Zach didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already expressed. It was a calm person like Zach who was provoked to have sex with Mei Yao. The Charming Eyes must have said something personal about Mei Yao that Zach was very concerned about. Otherwise, how could the normally calm vampire be so impulsive
In fact, Zach didn't want to be too straightforward. After all, Madison was one of his own, and he still wanted to give Madison a chance to argue. We know that Riley is directly talking about Zach's use of people from the West Side. This is related to the nature of Grande's social attributes and is a very serious matter.
Madison paused while signing and twitched the corner of his mouth, "What I told Riley was about me. Who am I, what do I do, maybe I mentioned how I got this job , and what I think about this job and you, my boss, but this is my business, and you insist on saying that this is your business."
Madison glanced at Zach and said, "I can only say that my opinion is right. It's all right."
This time, Zach stopped and looked up at Madison. He wanted to twitch his lips to show that this was a quibble. However, in the end, Zach just raised his eyebrows again, "You want to say that you are a person who sees things very well." Is that the right person? What Riley succeeded in irritating me with was not stating Grande’s personal affairs, but your opinion of Grande, which happened to be all right?”
Madison tilted her head and said, "Tell me."
Zach narrowed his eyes, was silent for a while, and then waved his hand, "Okay, let's stop talking about this problem." The cunning vampire forced himself to step up.
Madison twitched his lips, shook his head, and didn't bother to ask further questions. God knows how much he and Riley, who had similar experiences and similar current situations, had much in common and how much they said to each other. To be honest, he didn't know exactly what Zach was referring to.
Because yesterday's phone call to Riley was the only personal thing he had time to do after he started busy with the Hermann contract transaction. As a result, all the time was used to explain to Zach that he had become related to "Urban Legend".
"Let's continue talking about Riley, your new friend." Zach's steps for him didn't seem to be very long, "You two, well..." Zach thought about the words, "Your friendship, Very, well, reliable."
"What do you mean."
I can't blame Zach, it's an offensive question no matter how you ask it.
"I mean, obviously, in my opinion." Zach glanced at Madison, trying his best to imply something with his meaningful eyes, "It's just my personal opinion. Being friends with you seems to be more beneficial to her. Some. Like you already said to me, someone was curious about Grande, so you wrote about it, so "Metro Weekly" increased sales, which was a 'benefit' to her, right. But I didn't see what she gave you. 'benefit'."
Madison looked at Zach with a weird look.
What does this vampire want to say? 'benefit'
Zach added at this moment, "After all, she is a seductress, do you understand what I am saying?"
Madison's face fell. (..)
