"The Sabbat doesn't want Aisela to become the mayor. This is the premise..." When Darcy really started to explain to James, Oz walked towards James.
The mind reader stopped James very accurately in the direction where James was dodging, with a smile on his face that James could not understand yet, "Don't be willful, believe me, you will want to sit down and listen to this." Pushing James back to sit opposite Darcy.
At a certain moment, James felt a sudden chill, a bad, sticky, wet and uncomfortable feeling. Because, Ozzie Cozier is like Zach. We already know how similar the external clothing styles of mind readers Oz and Zach are, and perhaps, we can also see that their attitudes and ways of doing things are also very similar.
Isn't it, that kind of attitude of staying on the sidelines to guide and control, but withdrawing from the body, Darcy is the one who has been stepping on James's land mines. Even the expression he looked at James said, 'Believe me, I'm doing this for your own good. '
Uh, no! Oz made James even more uncomfortable. At least with Zach, James knew to look down when Zach's eyes turned red, but Oz? No, no, no, this mind-reader's mind-reading is unpredictable and unavoidable. In front of Zach, James at least has the will to resist, in front of Oz? How can you resist someone who knows all your thoughts!
Like now.
Oz raised his eyebrows and pushed James back to his seat, "Haha, this is really... thank you, you are comparing me to someone."
"If you're not going to explain it to me! Don't interrupt!" Darcy glared at Oz.
Oz tilted his head, returned to stand on one side, kept smiling, and stopped talking.
"Remember this! Sabbat, we are here, all for you and your template Anthony, this premise!" Darcy repeated the fact he had been emphasizing, taking a deep breath, indicating that the narrative would begin to formally connect - when Recall this premise when you want to interject, "The Sabbat divided Barton's family into three categories, because when the Sabbat controlled the city, the city could only have one master, and due to Barton's special historical reasons, the Sabbat Yan will never allow Barton to still belong to those families in the West District!"
Even though the disgusting feeling was still there, James had no choice but to look at Oz.
Oz nodded slightly and gave a look that said, 'Listen. '
"The first category is insignificant families." Darcy turned his head and looked at Oz. No matter how dull he was, he began to notice that James was exchanging glances with Oz, but he could only watch, he did not read There is nothing that can be done about it with the ability of the heart, "The first type of family includes Quinn and Barton."
James frowned. He didn't understand and couldn't keep up. Uh, this city is named after Barton, doesn't it matter
"The Quinn family has no qualified heir. The first generation is seriously ill, the second generation is missing, and the third generation is Porky Quinn, hum." Darcy glanced at James, "When you came to Barton, you had already seen Porky Quinn. ·Quinn’s file.”
To refresh my memory, at the beginning of this story, James, who wanted to go by the alias King, was in Grande, and he knew that even the Grande brothers from Barton didn't know Pochi Quinn.
"So the Quinn family is irrelevant. The connection between the Quinn Group and the veterans belongs to the West after the death of the actual controller of the Quinn family. It is already in the pocket of the West." Note that the death mentioned here is Quinn at the beginning of the year. Mr. and Mrs. were both seriously ill and awaiting death until Mrs. Queen and Porky went to the Grand.
"Then there's the Barton family." Darcy didn't give James too much time to react. He was giving James, who was born in the military family 'Lance', a little confidence. If he couldn't understand this, then the explanation would be useless. .
"Because of the surname Barton, Barton will always be, hum, the city's mascot." A bad description, but the fact is, "The Barton family has withdrawn from the Barton circle of power. After the first Mayor Barton abdicated, they He has never participated in any of Barton's political battles. He is a typical urban aristocrat. No one will look down upon his family members, and no one will value them. They will be there, holding a nominally important position, being respected and supported. .As long as this is maintained, there is no need to touch the Barton family."
There was a real pause here, because the next stage was about to begin, "The second category, families that can earn income. First." Darcy glanced at Oz reluctantly, "Liszt."
Do you feel that you are suddenly downgraded? Lister is not a surname that belongs to the inner circle in the West End. Haha, but even the core Quinn and Barton have been classified as irrelevant. What else can we look forward to. Remember, this is the perspective of the Western Sabbat. What Darcy is talking about now is the view of people outside of Barton on the Barton family.
"Barton's half-century of development has only three phases. Those in the West End who laid the foundation for the family created the city's skeleton. The local businesses led by Hermann laid the economic foundation. Lister's development of the business district." Darcy is just repeating us. The history of Barton that is already known, "There is not much to say. Barton is now in the era of Liszt. Huh, the only place in Barton that can be called a city is the Liszt District, but it is as small as a baby."
Yeah, what's around Lister, it's Becky who's fallen to the point of being supported by nightlife, it's Paisley, it's Southeast, it's residential Knoll and Back Bay, so baby.
"If he wants to develop, he needs help." He looked at Oz again, then shook his head without saying anything more in this regard.
"Then there is the Stone family." He picked up a little bit, "The only reason why the Stones can earn money is that they are a politician family. They do not have any position of power within Barton, but they have power outside Barton, in the entire Massachusetts. Enough influence. And the most important thing for a politician family is political correctness, I don’t need to say more.”
Remember, who did the two governors who visited Patton say good things about? James Lance. What political correctness is, indeed, goes without saying to Darcy.
Next.
"Originally, there was Herman. Local businesses mean loyalty. With the help of the Sabbat..." He stopped and waved his hand. Herman was gone, so why bother spending more energy.
But Oz interrupted at this time, "Part of the plan that has been abandoned based on reality is that I, Lister, and Hermann will merge with Paisin. Barton already has a southeastern part that accommodates low-income people, and there is no need for Paisin." . But this plan was abandoned before I even arrived.”
Before Darcy and James had time to speak, "Of course, we will drive away Barton's Indian group. You know who controls the aliens in this city before Zach jumps out." Sibella.
After Oz said this, he gestured 'shut up' to Darcy, who was staring at him.
"The third category, families that need to be eliminated." Darcy frowned, consciously telling him that James would react, so he stayed until the end.
Darcy's self-awareness was correct, and James said sullenly, "What do you mean by 'clear'!"
"It means that their existence is an obstacle to the Sabbat. They are not a family that can be left alone, and they are not a family that can be conquered. Therefore, eliminate them."
"Like Ethera..."
Being directly interrupted, Darcy stared at James mockingly, "She is a woman, a woman who accumulates relationships and wealth through marriage, divorce, and other dirty tricks. The family? James, your education is not low-level." in this way."
Instinctively, he wanted to refute, but James didn't know what he was going to refute, so he chose to shut up.
"First there's Smith."
Well, another guy who looks similar to Zach, James was involved in the entire tape case, and he didn't like Smith's cold methods. But he was an ordinary human being, with his head lowered, ready to listen to what Darcy had to say.
Darcy looked at Oz again, and said the same explanation to James, "The reason why Smith needs to be eliminated is Liszt." Oz responded with an "I still shut up" gesture, and Darcy pulled At the corner of his mouth, he looked back at James and said, "The Sabbat is choosing between Liszt and Smith. The final choice is Liszt, for the reason I just told you."
James didn't understand that Smith and Liszt had nothing to do with each other.
"It would be a reference to a fallen West End family, Pixar." Pixar? yes.
"Liszt's fortune came about because of Becky's loneliness." Darcy's face showed disinterest and contempt for the history of this small city. There was nothing he could do about it. He was the inheritor, and the history he had experienced was sea history. If that were the case, Barton would probably not even compare to a drop of water. "When Lister began to develop, there were two building materials providers, one was Smith and the other was Yuri."
Well, forget about this Yuri family that everyone may have forgotten about. The reason why Smith was to be eliminated by the Sabbat had nothing to do with the private industry of pornographic products!
"In the construction of the Liszt business district, Liszt used Yuri's building materials, and he forged a grudge against the Liszt family in the West District. However, the emergence of the business district was an unstoppable process in the city. The Liszt family made compromises and finally gave up. The Pixar family who once controlled Becky." Darcy paused for a moment, thinking of words. This situation often occurs when talking about things that he doesn't care about. "But the hatred is still there, and Smith's performance is particularly obvious. In the summer, Smith forced The acquisition of Yuri Building Materials is proof of this.”
James just opened his mouth - he knows the truth! The financial section of Barton Newspaper reported on Yuri’s acquisition for almost a month. Who was it because of? It's because the devil tried to control Smith, and then Zach stepped in to solve the tape incident! (viii)
But Oz shook his head slightly and made James shut up.
"Currently, the only building materials dealer in Barton is Smith, and Sabbat has confirmed its cooperation with Lister and continues to develop the Lister business district. Then, Smith, who masters building materials, should not stay."
Darcy looked at James, wondering what was the reason for the change in James' expression just now. He looked at Oz again, but when he didn't get an answer, he continued, "Then Bishop." He waved his hand, "A family controls a building. It has the most land property rights in the city, which makes the Sabbat fearful, very fearful."
Oh, isn't it? Before Barton existed, this entire land that can now be called a city belonged to Bishop. As for making the Sabbat fearful, imagine Bishop selling these lands to the Indians, it would be more than just such a small thing as Zack not daring to go to Pai Siying to find Sibella yesterday.
But about Bishop, needless to say, Bishop is dead. But we can recall how it was abolished, after all Darcy mentioned it.
Well, should we start with the tragedy of Jackson? No, let’s start with the memory of Brian’s mother’s disappearance (Shel became a murderous spirit). No, it would be better sooner—Zach saw this at Herman’s luncheon The elder Bishops and Ms. Scheer talked at two different points of the banquet - Zach confirmed that there was an irreparable rift in the Bishop family. (xix, 19)
"Then, uh." Darcy seemed to have forgotten what he was going to say and frowned, "Oh, Falcon." He actually stood up and walked to the safe on the side of the office, "I don't want to know about Falcon. Talking too much." He quickly looked at the cabinet door, took out a document, and threw it to James, "Go to the archives and read it yourself."
James only flipped through it. This was a directory, a case directory. There was confusion on his face.
"This is a record of all the criminal incidents controlled by the Falcon family in Barton since the emergence of Barton." Looking at James, "Falken is a criminal family, and the police system in Barton has not been able to shoulder the responsibility of a city. Before the maintenance work, their West End Foundation family managed the city in their own way, and Falcon was the family that was introduced. Do you understand that?"
Understand. Not only did he understand, James also understood a lot of things, why the real dark side of Barton was in the hands of these people from the west side, why the southeast has been unable to rise, and why there are gray professional people who are tightly united and stuck between black and white. Because the people of the West End have managed the city in their own way.
"So Falcon needs to disappear. Their existence is no longer needed. In the Sabbat's plan, the city's managers are only the Sabbat, not Falcon." Darcy concluded for Falcon, Then, the next one, "Fisher." He looked like he really didn't need to say more. In one sentence, "Barton will belong to the Sabbat, and Port Massa will also belong to the Sabbat. The port that controls the import and export of the Federation and the Republic is , of the Sabbat." Yes, the West spent so much effort to implement trade laws not to achieve Fisher's achievements, "Fisher? Humph."
After a period of thoughtful silence, Darcy tilted his head and looked at Oz, "Did I miss something?"
"No, you didn't." Oz smiled and nodded.
"Okay." Darcy twitched his lips, "Then, the classification is clear. The people the Sabbat wants to disappear are clear, and the people the Sabbat wants to lift and support are also clear." Pointing to James, "So , what is missing is an event that can make those who need to become prosperous come forward and those who need to disappear into the ground."
James' heartbeat began to beat faster, and he began to feel something, "Labor! Human trafficking in Port Marsa!"
"Yes, let's be clear, international human smuggling." Darcy waved his hand, "Those who need to disappear will never be able to turn around, and you and Anthony will therefore become a symbol of international friendship between the Federation and the Republic..."
Oz suddenly took over, "Hehehe, Darcy, you must be tired after talking so much. I'll just come from here."
Whether Darcy agrees or not—
"We found Eisela, a woman whose political future outside of Barton had been ruined because of the Stone family's absence. We made her believe that Barton was her only chance, and she could either make it big or get out. So, she chose In order to grow bigger, she began to plan Barton's human trafficking business with the support of the West. First, she needed money, a lot of money, so she began to approach the old Bishops at Herman's luncheon... "(.)
