Zach was carefully bringing the topic to the direction of asking Benjamin to accompany him to the West End again. Obviously he could say it directly, but Zach felt worried about the gain and loss - if he was not careful, Benjamin would run away...
"Did you know? The original cemetery of Grande in the West End will be built into a club by Liszt..."
"Do you want me to drive you to the West End?" Benjamin closed his eyes in the hammock, enjoying the sunshine with a smile.
"Yes, please." Cautiously.
"Okay." Benjamin agreed simply. When the hammock reached a high height, he turned over and fell back to the ground, and began to stretch his body. "It's just right. I also want to go to the West End."
"you think?"
"Yeah, I want to go find Mu En and ask something." Benjamin had already started walking towards the warehouse, "Key."
"Mo En?" Zach handed over the key and frowned in confusion, "Boqi's wife..." Considering that the two guys were not married yet, Zach shook his head and changed the term, "Boqi's son's mother." The wolf wizard who was rescued.
"That's right." Benjamin shook the key, "Haha, so you'd better call Mrs. Quinn and tell her I'll go find her right away."
"Uh..." Putting aside whether it's easy for everyone in the West End to visit, Zach didn't understand why Benjamin suddenly wanted to visit Mu En, "Why?"
Benjamin tilted his head and gave Zach a smile, "I'm going to kidnap her."
Zach was stunned for a moment, "Uh, why?"
"Papa kidnapped Grande's people at midnight, right?" Was Benjamin talking about Sam? "Haha, so I kidnapped one of his people." As he spoke, Benjamin waved his hands, as if he was still a little self-aware, "Although Mu En is not a person of Papa Midnight, but Pochi is, right, if Pochi Qi also wants to give his son a 'proper' identity. He needs a 'mother', right? Then, haha, I will take away his 'mother'."
Zach's mind was a little confused, "What?"
Benjamin seemed to have gone to a completely different dimension than Zach, "A genius plan, right? Not only do we test Pochi's ability, but we can also see where Pochi's heart lies." The family is still Papa Midnight. , "In the end, we can make Papa Midnight compromise. Haha, Mokawi thought of it."
"No!" Zach frowned, "This is a bad plan..."
"Really." Benjamin shrugged, "What else do you have planned to rescue Sam?"
"Well, I didn't because..."
Benjamin added, "You have no intention of saving at all. Haha, I know." Benjamin waved his hand, and his eyes stayed on Zach's face for three seconds, three "affectionate" seconds, "So, you go Call, or should I make the call myself?" He wasn't going to give Zach any room for change.
Zach frowned and was silent for three seconds, "I'll make a call."
"Very good~" Benjamin smiled again and shook the key in his hand, "I'll wait for you in the car."
Benjamin did come back, but Benjamin didn’t really come back. Zach’s worry about gain and loss came true, and it developed in a worse direction—
"Oh, by the way, you'd better hurry up." Benjamin reminded, "If the other me (Lang Ge) wakes up and finds that I am not with Mokawi, he might ask to come out today Wednesday. Haha, You don’t want another me to go with you.”
Zach didn't want to at all. But this shows that the only advantage of Benjamin and Mokawi being together is that 'Benjamin' dare not come out.
Zach returned to the office a little irritably and started calling Quinn Manor.
While Zach was still thinking about what to say to Mrs. Quinn in his troubled mind, the phone was connected. It was so perfect that it made people excited. It was Pochi who answered the phone, "Quinn, who are you?" He was plain and arrogantly impatient.
Zach curled his lips and said, "It's me, I'm looking for Mrs. Quinn."
"Oh." Pochi on the other side of the receiver said calmly, "Zach, what's the matter? Grandma is very busy."
"I'm looking for you, Mrs. Quinn," Zach repeated.
"She's very busy." The same thing was repeated.
"I'm looking for Mrs. Quinn, and I'm in a bad mood right now. I don't have much patience, so, Pochi, you'd better..." Matching Zach's tone and expression was his raised hand, pointing at the empty space in front of him. One person's air. It would be great if the phone could transmit the picture, and the direct threat of Zach could be better conveyed to Poch...
"Then wait." Following a slight collision, Pochi's footsteps disappeared.
Zach's face froze here, "Porchi." The footsteps disappeared in the distance, "Porchi?" The footsteps began to sound faint to the vampire's hearing, "Porchi!" The footsteps disappeared.
Zach slammed the phone down. It’s not a gaffe if no one sees it. It actually gave Zach a reason to agree with Benjamin's plan, so that's a good thing.
Immediately started dialing another number, also from Quinn Manor, Amanda's personal number. The young woman, who served as Mrs. Quinn's personal escort, had her own telephone line. If everyone remembers Amanda's fondness for Zach, it's no surprise that Zach has her own phone number.
The phone was picked up quickly, "Amanda." The vague opening also had the crunching sound of chewing some snacks. Lucky for Zach, Amanda must be resting.
"It's me, Zach." Zach forcibly changed his mood, but he didn't want to be polite, "I'm looking for Mrs. Quinn, can you inform me?"
"Zach!" There was a surprised voice, and he swallowed while covering the receiver, and probably made some boring movements. When he responded to Zach again, his voice had become brisk and natural, "Look for Mrs. Quinn, okay~ I'll inform you..." His voice trailed off and he was moving away from the speaker.
But it was only quiet for two seconds before Amanda's voice came back, awkwardly, "Uh... I'm sorry, I just remembered that Madam was in a meeting and told me not to be disturbed..."
Pochi didn't lie.
Zach frowned and looked back out the window. Benjamin had already driven the car to the backyard and was playing with the radio in the car like nothing happened.
Zach thought for a moment and asked, "Did Pochi also attend the meeting?" Zach asked thoughtfully enough, at least he didn't ask about the meeting.
The receiver still hesitated for a while. As a staff member of the manor, they should have the consciousness to keep what happens in the manor secret, so the hesitation is understandable, "Yeah." I don't know what kind of ideological struggle Amanda went through, but she still answered, "It's probably nothing to tell you. Well, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Pochi, and Mr. Harrison from the shelter are all here."
That was a meeting related to the shelter. Zach didn't ask any more questions. He didn't have time to inquire about the details for the time being. "Where is Mu En? And her son?"
"Miss Moon?" Amanda may be confused, wondering why Zach suddenly asked this, but she actually calls Moon "Miss". It seems that Moon's status in Quinn Manor is still a bit embarrassing, "Well, it seems that she is here Let’s play with the young master in the courtyard.”
"Then, can you help me find her?" Zach frowned, "Forget it's inconvenient." There was a little bit of hope that Amanda would refuse.
"Okay, wait a minute~"
Zach held the receiver with mixed emotions and waited.
This wait is five minutes. Benjamin in the backyard honked the horn countless times.
When the sound came from the receiver again, it was Amanda who was still in a bad state, "Zach, I'm sorry." Guilty, "I didn't find Miss Moon, but I don't think she went out, she should still be in the manor, otherwise , Well, if you have anything to say, can I pass it on to you?"
"No need." Zach unexpectedly calmed down. The five minutes of waiting that were beyond his control was enough for him to think about many things. "Please tell Mrs. Quinn that I called her about the shelter. If she has If it’s free, you can come to Grande.”
Did Zach just treat Mrs. Quinn as someone he could call as he pleased? And it seems that the purpose of the call was changed without authorization. This call is not about the shelter.
"Uh... Okay." Amanda hesitated, but agreed.
"Have a nice day." Zach hung up, then left the office, walked downstairs calmly, ignored Benjamin's horn and stood on the back porch, waving to Austin in the direction of the new living area.
"What do you want to do?" Benjamin raised his eyebrows and asked, leaning on the back of the driver's seat and looking sideways at Zach on the back porch.
"Your plan, Mokawi's plan is terrible!" Zach was not prepared to show mercy.
Benjamin shrugged, "It's better than nothing. I heard your call. No notification is needed. When we arrive at the gate of the manor, Mrs. Quinn will naturally receive her. I don't care if we rob or steal, we want to kidnap..."
Shut up just because Austin accepted the call and came running.
Zach was on the back porch, pointing to the floor beneath his feet, "Pry open."
"Okay~" Austin didn't have any doubts, he greeted his subordinates and carried out the order.
Benjamin pursed his lips, took out the car keys and crossed his arms, ready to see what Zach was going to do.
The picture beneath the pried-out floorboards on the back porch is not pretty. All kinds of inexplicable garbage are piled up below, such as pizza boxes, waste paper, food scraps, mushrooms...
Zach frowned and continued to order Austin's people, "Find one this big." He gestured, "Brown, wooden doll."
"Okay~" Austin was very cooperative and greeted his workers, "I heard you all! Start looking!"
Benjamin raised his eyebrows in the car and continued to look.
Without much effort, a worker whose hands were stained with something sticky and corrupted by garbage cleaned the hard objects on his hands, revealing the shape of a thumb puppet, "This?"
"Yes." Zach took out the handkerchief, took it, glanced at Benjamin, turned and walked into the house. By the way, "Clean up here and seal it again, extra money, fifty."
"Okay~~"
Zach went to the kitchen and started washing the puppets on his hands.
After a while, Benjamin also came in. He frowned as he watched Zach wash the things he dug out of the garbage in the sink, "You wash it in the kitchen?"
"What does it matter? I won't eat." Think of it as revenge for being unhappy with Benjamin before.
Benjamin curled his lips, "What's the use of turning this thing out now? Do you want to kill him?"
Remember what this puppet is? It was given to Zach by Sam, and it was proof that Alpha had control over the wizard's life. But Zach wasn't an Alpha, so he didn't take it seriously.
"This is what I want to ask you." Zach asked calmly while cleaning the puppet, "What will Alpha do after the wizard of the wolf pack is taken away?"
Benjamin's eyes twitched, "Kill. Don't let the secret of the wolves be leaked by the wizard."
Zach nodded, "So, give me a reason why I shouldn't break this puppet right now."
"Tsk." Benjamin was already a little gloomy, staring at Zach's side face, "When I said that Sam is yours, the 'result' caused by Toledo, and when I handed him over to you, I wasn't planning to let him... The sky was suddenly snatched away by Papa at midnight. You have disappointed me. If you break the puppet, you will only disappoint me more."
"So." Zach still looked calm, "In order to regain your trust, I must prove myself and save Sam, is this what you mean?"
"Yes." Benjamin said simply.
"Then I have a question. Can you still safely hand over the rescued Sam to me? After all, the facts are here. If you continue to hand it over to me, I may lose him. And if you don't show up, I There is no plan to save him."
Benjamin frowned. He fully understood what Zach meant, but he didn't understand the direction Zach was going.
"This is how things are going to turn out, Benjamin." Having cleaned up, Zach looked at the puppet in his hand, held it in his hand, and turned to Benjamin, "Give me a bottom line. We all know that Sam is in Grande because You, and I let Sam be in Grande because of you. Tell me directly, what do you want? What do you expect me to make his life be like after Sam becomes my wizard."
Benjamin pursed his lips.
The thing is simple. Benjamin doesn’t want wizards, but because of his personal history, Benjamin doesn’t want to give up on Sam. The ugly current situation between wolves and wizards is the evil that Toledo planted in order to drive a wedge between wizards and Alpha. As a result, Sam was pushed to Zack. So, what does Benjamin expect, and does he expect Zach to provide Sam with something? Home? normal life? Or compensate Toledo for ruining the lives of countless wizards and grant him eternal life
"What exactly do you want?" Zach looked at Benjamin, "Tell me directly. Don't give me the chance to doubt you, me, Sam, or anything." Zach curled his lips, "You know I tend to overthink. So set me free and tell me the consequences, what exactly do you want me to do to Sam."
Benjamin stared at the puppet in Zach's hand and pondered for a long time. "Okay." He looked at Zach and twitched his cheeks, "*! I tell you. I want you to let him live until he realizes that kind of wolf. How terrible the pack and wizard lifestyle is, that's not real life, he's just a tool of the pack. I want him to start living a real life."
Then came the unexpected 'confession', "I once tried to escape and change that kind of life, but the result was that I became an Alpha without a tribe. It was a complete failure. I was a bad Alpha.*! Then, I could only continue to escape, a People go to the battlefield until they meet you.*! Then, I lived a life that I had never thought of. I think this is success. My escape was finally successful because,*! I met you. So I Trust you, if you can make me, an alpha, successful in my new life, you can make anyone successful.*! Well, even if you never liked me using John's spice, I still used it because I wanted the success to continue , if there is something that can help me continue to live peacefully with you, I will try it. Uh, don't look at me like that,*! Now, I'm telling you this, I want you to let Sam completely get out of the trap he's in. Life, can you do it?”
Zach blinked, selectively amnesia removed the swear words in this 'confession', showed a smile, put the puppet in his hand back into his pocket, "Okay, I understand, now, I think we need to Only after Sam is rescued can we talk about the rest of our lives, right? Come with me, haha, I have a better plan. We need to go to Repte first to find Maya... "
If Papa Midnight kidnapped a Grande person, and Grande wanted to exchange someone from Papa Midnight, Mu En was really a bad choice, and he had to go through Bochi, evil. Zach had someone better, Benjamin was absent from Grande these days and what was going on, those 'girl things' with high school girls, Trisha was pregnant.
"Oh~" An uncomfortable shout came from behind Zach, "So we are going to Raiput now~"
Zach's newly overflowing face suddenly fell down. He turned around and looked at 'Benjamin', "*!"
"Haha, he's shy, I'll come out and give him a thumbs up~" (.)
