There was really no one who could keep the sleepy-looking Mrs. Quinn waiting in the office early in the morning. But Zach still had to ask Mrs. Quinn to wait. He couldn't go to meet the guests with a stiff face, right
Fortunately, Alice stabilized Mrs. Queen's mood. Alice liked Mrs. Queen, remember.
Alice pressed her face and smiled, "He's like this, it's ugly~" She was talking about the way a vampire wakes up.
Mrs. Quinn could only smile and shake her head, "You!" She was lamenting the changes in Alice. Do you still remember what Mrs. Quinn said when she saw Alice for the first time, "This kind of child whose eyes are full of death, I I’ve seen too much. '
"Alice." Zach appeared, still a little stiff, so he grabbed a bottle of wine in his hand, "Go help Maya."
Maya is going to take an official tour of Reput High School today to prepare for her enrollment. Of course, Zach will go with him, and Grande is Maya's 'stable environment' in Barton - Newton's Yuehuabaiying agreed to Maya's admission requirements after Maya quoted Zach's words. Zach serves as Maya's guardian in Barton.
So logically, in order to make a good first impression on the principal, Maya needs some advice on how to dress, so Alice can only do it.
Alice smiled and went out, while Zach sat down behind the desk and looked at Mrs. Quinn helplessly, "You should have called me to inform me in advance."
Although Mrs. Quinn already knew Zach's true identity as a vampire, Zach was a little helpless after seeing his worst side by this sudden visit.
"I don't have the energy to do such troublesome things." Mrs. Quinn looked at Sam who sat down next to Zach without saying a word, curled her lips, and turned her eyes back to Zach, "If my 'dear grandson' ( Poch), if he knew I was coming to Grande, he would force me to ask him about the missing materials."
Sam turned his head and pretended not to understand.
Zach is very good at focusing on the key points, "Force?"
"Yes, yes." But there was no look of coercion on Mrs. Quinn's face. "Having a mother and son (Moon and Vicky) keep telling me how important those materials are and how secretive they are in Indian culture. …”
"Tsk, there's nothing good at all." Sam actually interrupted, "The reserve is not even one-third of Sibella's..."
Zach stopped his wizard from continuing to admit the crime he had committed.
"Haha, so things are not easy in the manor." Zach could only lead him like this.
"Humph, nothing is easy." Mrs. Quinn waved her hand, not intending to pay attention to Sam's intention at first, and forcibly cheered up her depressed spirit, "I'm tired, we need to hurry up..."
Zach noticed Mrs. Quinn's fatigue and nodded without interrupting to ask.
"Last night, under Smith's instigation, we ambushed Fisher." Don't worry about Mrs. Quinn's serious words, "Everyone is angry, at Fisher, at Falcon, at you."
Zach tilted his head and said nothing.
Mrs. Quinn did not expect Zach to respond and continued, "Don't expect to receive the balance of Fisher's commission. This commission has been withdrawn. Let me inform you."
Zach spread his hands and said, "Fair enough."
The corner of Mrs. Quinn's mouth twitched, "And this is what you want, right? While promising Fisher to save his family, he exposed his small business in front of us West End people. At the same time, he talked to Smith and Falcon promised that he believed in Grande and that Fisher would be fine, while deliberately mentioning Bishop and asking them to pay attention to Liszt."
Being understood is always a comforting thing. Just like now, Zach smiled and nodded directly, "Have you contacted the mayor and Aisela?"
Seeing that Zach fully admitted it, Mrs. Quinn actually breathed a sigh of relief—this meant that if this was Zach's plan, Zach's plan to save the Fisher family, then so far, everything was going well. Zach has lived up to the West Enders' trust.
Mrs. Quinn took a deep breath and organized her words, "We got in touch through Stone's channel. Through the relationship with the mayor, Blake also got in touch with Ethela, and together, we confirmed everything -" His face He darkened, "The West is trying to divide and weaken our West Side family's plan!"
It sounds like there was a lot going on in the Patton power class last night.
Zach nodded, everything he did yesterday came to fruition, which was good, "So, what are you going to do?"
But Mrs. Quinn shook her head and looked at Zach, "No, no. You won't be the guy who affects everything behind the scenes this time. I have a question for you, on behalf of everyone in the West District." There is nothing surprising. Mrs. Quinn, the person introduced by the West Enders to talk to Zach, "Tell me why we are still supporting Anthony now to make the West happy instead of fully supporting Ethera and destroying the West's delusions about Barton."
"Then I also have a question for you West Side people." Zach smiled easily. "At the beginning of the election, are you West Side people ready to support two candidates separately?"
"Of course." Mrs. Quinn replied without any unkind expression, "If we all support a candidate together, it will only appear that we are occupying a city and manipulating the election, and that will not be good for all of us. Naturally we will divide, at least ostensibly evenly, the people who support it.”
"Then, why change now?" Zach shrugged, "Just because you found the real supporters of the West, so you want to do the opposite? Doesn't that clearly tell the West that you are manipulating the election and don't want the West to take a fancy to it? When someone rises to power, does he create enemies for himself?"
Mrs. Quinn frowned, then glanced at Zach, "I'm tired, I only slept in the car for half an hour, so don't say anything that makes me think, just say the conclusion! Save everyone's time. "Well, it's so direct that it makes people a little speechless.
Zach raised his eyebrows, wanted to laugh but held back, and nodded, "Okay, conclusion." He raised his hand to Sam, "Go and make some tea for Mrs. Quinn." The conclusion also needs to be thought about, and then he started -
"In the West, or to you, Mrs. Quinn, I can directly say the Sabbat. The Sabbat hopes that Anthony will continue to be mayor. This is a fact. But probably what you people in the West Side think is that they cannot directly indicate their support candidates, so We have Cozier in Barton, appearing as Lister's partner. We have Darcy, parachuted in as someone born with Mayor Anthony."
Mrs. Quinn did think about it. What Zach said was that the Sabbat was also dividing the objects of support on the surface.
Then Zach asked a question, "If it's not my relationship with James. Can you confirm that the Sabbat supports Anthony?"
"No." Mrs. Quinn replied, shaking her head at the same time, "I don't think even a family like Stone, who runs politics, would not have thought that Anthony was the template that the Sabbat prepared for James' future."
"Of course not." Zach tilted his head. "Human life is too short. When you summarize the times, you use a term of office, four years, as the standard unit, and then complain that the times have changed too fast. But vampires, use Ten years, fifty years, centuries, set the standard. Vampires are the group that has observed the changes of the times and knows that nothing has changed."
Mrs. Quinn frowned, "It has changed. When I was young, this (Barton) was still the wasteland of Newton." It was just an instinctive rebuttal.
"It hasn't changed." Zach shook his head, "Your desire to have a city of your own when you were young has not changed, otherwise you wouldn't be here to ask me this question."
Well, Zach was talking about the human heart. That is, when you are young, you want to sleep with beautiful girls. When you are middle-aged and have family troubles, you still want to sleep with beautiful girls. When you are old and have children and grandchildren, you still want to sleep with beautiful girls. It really hasn’t changed, it’s just the execution ability that has changed, so please don’t deny it.
Mrs. Quinn pursed her lips and said, "Continue."
"I can say this because of me, although you West End and Sabbat are splitting up who you support, the one you really support is Anthony, right?"
"If your conclusion doesn't convince us, that's going to change." Mrs. Quinn pouted as Sam handed over the teacup.
"Change is bad." Zach said seriously, "Now, I can say that the West Enders and the Sabbat are 'friends' who have common interests and act in perfect harmony. Agree? If you change now,' Friends' become enemies. And Mrs. Quinn, do you think it is a good thing for the 'I' of an alliance to treat the people of the West End as enemies?"
Mrs. Quinn put down her tea cup and curled her lips, "I thought you were the only one in Toledo."
"Well, but the Thirteen Clan is not just Toledo. If a single clan had super abilities, the entire Thirteen Clan would not be split into two alliances that are hostile but have no way to deal with each other."
Mrs. Quinn clicked her tongue and shook her head, "Okay, I accept your point of view. We don't want to be enemies of the Sabbat, at least not on the surface. So what? Do we have to endure it? Even if Bishop is killed It's like this! Even if they know that the city we built will be taken over by them in the future... "
"Who said the Sabbats would take over Barton?" Zach shook his head, "Why? With Anthony they are supporting now, or, hmm, our detective friend James Lance, whom they are counting on in the future?" K smiled at Mrs. Quinn, "Anthony was the one who allowed me to do everything yesterday."
Mrs. Quinn raised her eyebrows and asked, "Anthony?" Then she frowned, remembering what Zach said during the phone call yesterday that he was waiting for Anthony's call, "Does he have other ideas about the Sabbat's support for him?"
"Of course, he is the one who asked me to investigate Fisher, and he was also the first person who informed me after I obtained information about the Sabbat's plans for Aesela, Bishop, Falcon, and Smith from Fisher." Zach After a pause, "And he realized in an instant that the Sabbat wanted to get rid of the people from these families."
"Well, that's why yesterday Stone (Blake) immediately confirmed that the mayor had noticed the news of smuggled labor! He even took the initiative to contact Aisela." Looking at Zach, he didn't know what he was thinking. With a complicated face, "And you have already made preparations on Aisela's side, and Aisela immediately verified everything. You and Anthony are cooperating. Why? Let us West End people completely discover the stupid things Fisher did?"
"Keeping you together," Zach affirmed, "When you were divided, last time, 'Bishop' happened."
Mrs. Queen raised her eyebrows and stared at Zach.
Zach continued, "And now, Fisher is going to happen, if you guys don't do anything."
"Uh, so you used Fisher's trust, the trust of us West End people, and did nothing with the entrustment. You just connected all of us and warned us that Fisher was going to be doomed?" Mrs. Quinn tilted her head. Head, staring at Zach, a little surprised.
Zach pursed his lips. Mrs. Quinn was indeed tired and her mind was a little knotted. He picked up Mrs. Quinn's tea cup and handed it to the other party, "No one will be finished. I kept emphasizing Liszt on the phone yesterday, didn't I?"
"What can we do with Liszt?" Mrs. Quinn put down the tea cup again irritably. She should drink to wake up.
"How's it going?" Zach raised his eyebrows, "Now we know an Aesela who was naively used by the Sabbat from beginning to end, right? By the way, according to what you said, she actually took the initiative to cooperate with you people from the West District yesterday. You’ve verified Fisher’s matter, right?”
Mrs. Quinn raised her eyebrows, "You mean, you want to recruit Ethera to deal with Liszt?" Then she shook her head, "What's the benefit of this..." But then she raised her eyebrows again, "Liszt is Cozier's partner. They are the real Sabbat forces, but they are superficially supporters of Aesera.”
Fortunately, Mrs. Quinn was not too lost. Zach nodded, "Now Ethela already knows that with the Sabbat and the West End people supporting Anthony, she has no chance of winning, so why not take advantage of this woman who has no future and give her a chance to win in Barton?" The last glimmer of hope.”
Mrs. Quinn had already thought about it and nodded slightly, but still looked a little hesitant. "If you want to save Fisher, you can indeed use Ethela, who knows the entire smuggling plan, to create perjury on Liszt's side, or act as a witness." , but, uh, we all know that the relationship between Esera and Liszt is just a cover, and Liszt will not let Esera get too close at all... "
"What if I tell you that Cozier is also from our side?" Zach raised his eyebrows, "Even better, the Sabbat still treats Cozier as one of them in Barton..."
The call interrupted.
Zach didn't want to pay attention, but Mrs. Quinn suddenly stood up and said, "I'm leaving. I'll tell Fisher that you can get the balance of your entrustment." She left the office extremely quickly.
Zach curled his lips, but luckily, he picked up the phone, "Grand."
There is no sound from the receiver.
Zach waited, stood up when he had time, opened the curtains, and watched Mrs. Quinn's car drive out of the backyard, "Uh, James, I can hear you breathing."
"Zach..."
"You sound really bad." Zach lowered the curtains and gestured to Sam, meaning he wanted to see Alice and Maya's preparations. "The date turned into a crazy night? Congratulations~"
"Well… "(.)
