viii Final Chapter Disdain

With the lesson learned from the previous one, this time 'Wednesday' Game Night James didn't offer beer, and a crowd of dead houses surrounded Benjamin, putting various props on his body. Zach was once again clearly aware of the fact that Benjamin was more popular than him wherever he was.

This time, Benjamin's popularity is due to his resemblance to a superhero in the comics, and a group of otaku are trying to invite Benjamin to next month's Comic Con. And promise, costumes and props, they are solely responsible. Incidentally, Zach and Mike were also invited. As for James, there is no need to invite, he is the guy who paid for tickets for everyone.

After sending away such a group of people, James began to clean up his messy home, looking at the three aliens who had not yet meant to leave, and frowned, "Don't stand still, help!"

"You don't need to move!" James's bad impression of the demon persists, as he 'mistakenly' cast a blizzard spell on his teammates at the beginning of his 'adventure', blowing Mike the pyrometer off a cliff......

At this time, James glared at Mike and pointed to the side, "You, stand there and don't move!"

Mike leaned against the wall helplessly, just as the Great Dane's hatred of Mike continued to Crowley, and Jen's hatred of Crowley continued to him. It's just that this situation can't be solved in the short term.

Zach casually stuffed the scattered pizza box into the garbage bag and looked at James amusedly, "You're so naΓ―ve, Mike is innocent." ”

James tugged at the corners of his mouth, too lazy to reply.

It was inevitable that the three of Grande would stay, as James needed to know the outcome of Smith's commission. However, without Zach saying anything, James has already seen the end.

Yesterday Yuri's and, uh, that is, Kepler's ex-boyfriend suddenly dropped out of school. Just a primer, news of Smith's acquisition of Yuri has already appeared in the newspapers today.

"Start talking. James's face was not good, after all, Yuri was not the murderer he expected, but now it was clear that Smith had put his revenge on Yuri's side.

"Mike. Zach didn't answer directly, but smiled at Mike, who had been rejected by his master, "Come on." ”

Mike's face was even more helpless. After he finishes telling the real events, James will have a worse impression of the demon. But in a more positive way, he broke the news to the detective, hoping that James would be grateful.

Then, tidying up the attic was done by only Benjamin and Zack.

James pressed his forehead and sat on the hard couch, keeping the silence of this posture like a famous statue. The young detective's outlook on life was shattered.

If the world could distinguish between good and bad, Quest, who James once thought was bad, was good. The people in the West Side, whom he hasn't had a chance to come into contact with, are bad, and Yuri, Yuri is just an innocent passerby.

What crushes this again is that Quest's rebellion is pointless, with those in the West End taking full control of Barton, and Mike's narrative does not save Mayor Anthony's anger.

In the end, the big bad guy who will turn up in a qiΔ“ and be able to show in front of him - Crowley. It's the devil.

James stood up and took the garbage bag that Zach was still filling into. "You can go. ”

Zach didn't excuse himself, looked at the attic that had been almost cleaned up, and said in a joking tone, "Good timing." ”

James glanced at Zach, stopped talking, and opened the iron door of his house. Silently looking at his toes.

Zach and Benjamin glanced at each other, and they were already satisfied with the situation. At least James didn't have such a boring question as he angrily asked why he was bothering innocent Yuri. This means that in James's worldview, there are already demons and alien beings.

The truth doesn't matter, the important thing is to make the weak innocent human beings hurt because of the uncontrolled alien race.

Aim for this. The Grand House is doing a great job. Yuri may be bought out and become an affiliate of Smith forever, but the struggle between businesses is under the sun, and Smith will at least not be as cruel as he is with his own people. And those caught between Smith and Crowley were able to be safed because the incident was terminated.

However, James could not utter any words of praise. He just went through the door after all three had left.

Walking up the back street of Smith, the three of them walked directly to the truck, Zach looked at Mike with a smile and asked, "Who leaked the news that Smith will buy Yuri?"

Mike was still sad about James's rejection, and remembered when he brought gifts to the Grande House to make everyone smile when they liked it? The demon's heart was exposed to Zack, but he didn't notice it, and smiled reluctantly, "It's the one we arranged for Yuri." ”

Mike thought for a moment, "Crowley said that if Smith was allowed to deal with Yuri, it would be bound to turn you off, Anthony, James, everybody. ”

Zach nodded, because this qiΔ“ was caused by Crowley, it was no different from the riot caused by her first arrival in Barton. So he turned the secret struggle into the light, and everyone's eyes were focused on preventing Smith from doing something.

But Zach frowned again, "Why do you arrange people everywhere? ”

Mike hurriedly explained, "No, it's just a demon contract, if you say the right thing at the right time and place, we will protect it." They are still human beings. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "They?"

"Ah, not much! Not much! Just a few people. ”

Zach laughed and shook his head, he was just teasing Mike. Crowley needs to arrange for the results that Grande gives to Smith to be in line with the 'facts', and she also needs to let Smith know that the tapes are still scattered, so someone has to echo them. That's all that Zach can allow, "I don't think I'll need to remind you that these people's names will be handed over to Anthony." ”

Mike nodded, "Yes, yes." ”

Those who are accused by the devil will inevitably be banned by Barton's rulers. When those who sold their souls because of Smith's threats, while gaining protection, their social status and influence were also fixed. Grande would not allow Barton's center of power to be touched by aliens.

It's not too late for the game night to end, after all, those otaku also need to work. So Benjamin's van was mixed up in the traffic of the evening theater and drove away from the real city center of what is now Barton.

After the hustle and bustle, the city became quieter and quieter as the trucks moved south, and when you entered the South End, only the flashing streetlights made the trucks that still drove by on Route 27 at night less lonely.

The moon in the night sky gradually climbed to the center and then continued westward. After alternating between light and darkness, a hint of bright red appeared on the eastern horizon, and the sun began to repeat its climb yesterday.

One degree, two degrees, ten degrees, forty-five degrees.

When the sun was no longer obscured by the buildings, there was a black motorcade on Route 27 driving from north to south, and Smith was careful enough for Dylan's funeral.

Zach and Benjamin hid in the Grande House, leaving the job of the funeral home to Louise and Matthew. But they weren't alone, as Smith also came, and instead of attending the farewell ceremony at the Church of the Holy Son, he sat in his office and watched Zach smile.

Zach wasn't paying attention, because Dylan was hovering over Smith's head, and God knows what kind of psychology the necromancer was in, staring motionless at the top of Smith's head. Danny on the side helplessly spread his hands and levitated to the side, helplessly saying in a voice that only aliens can hear, "It's okay, I don't think he will get out of control." bar. ”

Dylan had two options, either go to his funeral or stay in Grande. He wisely chose the latter, but he didn't expect Smith to come, which made Zach helpless.

"I'm sorry. Zach's distraction led to his silence, which served as a reflection on Smith's words, "I can't take this commission. ”

Smith shook his head slightly, still smiling, "Is it not possible?"

"I'm sorry. Zach used a very sincere expression, "When I gave you the advice to be examined, I also admitted that we at the Grande House were powerless to recover the missing tapes." Otherwise, it will be directly raised as an additional commission. ”

Smith thought for a moment, and smiled helplessly, "Yes, you do have this habit. "This is when talking about Herman's commission, Zach directly proposed a follow-up commission.

Zach was pleased with Smith's empathy and raised an eyebrow, "I'm more than happy to help you buy Yuri." Zach smiled, "If you're in any way." ”

Smith sighed, as if to say to himself, "Acquisition, hehe." He seemed to remember something funny, "It's funny that I'm actually the last person to know I'm going to buy Yuri." ”

For Crowley, it was just to keep the people on Grand's side off, but for Yuri, it was a step to save their lives. It's easy to understand.

Zach shook his glass to his lips and looked at Smith behind the wall of the transparent glass, the corners of Smith's eyes twitched slightly. Zach, who knows the truth, is waiting, and what he is waiting for will be known immediately.

Not disappointing Zack, Smith thought of something, "If there is no clue about the whereabouts of those tapes, then the people who leaked the tapes and the people who decided to buy Yuri for me ......" Smith didn't finish and looked at the smiling Zack.

Zach put down his glass and pulled out a list from the drawer, the name of the person Mike had written down yesterday to make a deal with the devil. Zach hasn't had time to hand it over to Anthony, and now he's going to give it away.

Zach's hand was in the air, "As a thank you for a pleasant collaboration, I have to remind you." Zach smiled and looked at Smith, who was also smiling, "You need to be patient, at least wait until this qiΔ“ is over." ”

"Of course. Smith took the list and smiled rightly.

Vampires who attack humans and are not hungry, disdain. (To be continued......)
