Although he was prepared, Zach was still expecting the phone to go unanswered-

Zach listened to the recording of the message that he ignored yesterday. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Not to mention the urging of a certain client, his payment is still sitting next to his desk, no one has touched at all, Zach is not ready to waste his time for that boring prank-style commission, and he is very satisfied to be able to achieve something that makes someone jump to their feet.

Eve's message made Zach a little moved, because of the convenience of Smith Manor, Eve's doppelganger waited all night in a public phone booth. But being moved is just moving, and Zach thinks that's how it should have been after Eve 'deeply broken' her heart.

Finally, there is the mayor's message, which is long-winded and short--"You're sick, aren't you? Those messy things will disturb me, but this kind of thing will be silent?! Call me back!"

Zach instinctively resisted this statement, recalling that Zach's phone call to Anthony, and even going directly to Anthony, were all major events related to urban change and development. Take the recent Zach asking Sam to send Mayor Newton's soul over, and now that Blake is representing Barton and going to the state capital to participate in the Newton mayor's designation review, it can be regarded as a favorable information for Barton. How can it be said that it is a mess of disturbances.

As for the arrival of the Demon Feast Torredo, Zach thinks that although it may bring disaster to Barton, it is a private matter caused by him anyway. Solve your own personal affairs by yourself, and if someone jumps out to help, Zach will be grateful, but it should be common sense not to take the initiative to trouble others.

Then Zack's hopes were dashed, and the phone was answered, "Hey?"

Carefully, well, female voice.

Zach was stunned for a moment, remembering this voice, Anthony's secretary Gina, raised an eyebrow, "I'm looking for Anthony." ”

"Oh, he's taking a shower, wait a minute, Eun ......" hesitated a little, "If it's business, sir can call the mayor's office ......"

"But I'm calling Anthony's personal number, not the mayor's work number, right? Zach laughed, "I'll wait." ”

"Oh......"

Guess it's the first time this woman has received such a private call at Anthony's house, and she doesn't know what to do. A bolder guess that this woman spent the night at Anthony's house for the first time. So, it's not clear to her whether she's a secretary who works for the mayor or, heh, you know.

Zach kept smiling and playing with the phone line. That's good, Zach has a lighter opening line to work with. At the same time, a background sound appeared in the earpiece.

Anthony: "Did I hear the phone ring?"

Gina: "Well, I said you were washing ......"

Anthony: "What? Who told you to answer my call?!"

Gina: "I ......"

How good, Zach has more confidence in his opening and, ha, anticipation!

Soon, the receiver was picked up, and judging by the clanging sound, the person who picked up the phone was in a very bad mood, "Hey!

"Don't worry, Mr. Mayor, it's me. Zach smiled, "You can save the newspaper from having reports about the mayor's work and chaotic private life~"

"*!" the mayor didn't get any better, "it's you! it's worse!" and then he knew it was Zach on the receiver and didn't take any precautions, "Uh, get dressed and wait for me outside!"

"It's chilling~" Zach commented, "That's good Anthony, this is not the attitude that a lady should have." ”

"It's your business!You're waiting!" the call was put on hold. I don't know what Anthony is going to do again.

This time I didn't have to wait long, Zack heard the sound of documents flipping, and didn't wait for Zach to speak, "Don't talk nonsense! I've already asked people to check, Eli Torredo's identity is registered in the west, the file and identity authentication are in the west, I'm just the small mayor of the city in the east, it's a bit troublesome to want to abolish his identity, but it's not a big deal, I can ......"

Zach felt that it was better to interrupt as soon as possible, "It's useless, Anthony, Eli Toredo is not the Thirteen Clans, not an invader who once invaded this continent, and he is not affected by the laws of the Indoan bloodline to protect the homeland. ”

There was silence on the other side of the earpiece for a moment, and then the file flicked away, "You only told me this ?!! now"

Zach replied as a matter of course, "You never asked. ”

"*!" After expressing his emotions, he was quiet again, and only heavy breathing remained.

Zach didn't make the atmosphere any darker, "Tell me how you know about this." ”

"Uh......"

"I'm not Dora. Anthony didn't say, Zach could only guess, "As long as a vampire enters the city, there will be an incident where the vampire uses humans as food." The main purpose of the Secret Alliance has always been that the people in power of the human race do not need to know, and the Secret Alliance will not tell it, whether it is a partner or not, because for human beings, the alien race is the alien race, collectively speaking, and it is also the most realistic view, and it is meaningless to distinguish between them, and it is all human characteristics to generalize. This rule was set by Toredo. So, I don't think it won't be them. ”

The breathing on the other side of the earpiece was a little heavier.

"I don't think it's going to be the Feast, Darcy or Cozier, if I'm right, Darcy and Cozier have been ordered to watch Eli Torredo come to Barton and fight me, they can't, at least not be openly contacting you, to remind you that your vampire friends are in danger. Even if Oz Cozier had the heart to inform you, he would have guarded against being noticed by Darcy, and I think Oz understands that there is no point in telling you, in general, not them. ”

The breathing was a little heavier, and it was Zach who was blocking the channel that Anthony could cover up a little bit.

"It's even more impossible for the wizard and Rimmel, although it's not very kind, but I think Sbella is glad that I'm a little frustrated, Rimmel, there's a Smith in the middle, Lydia and Eve don't have any access to you at all. Zach paused slightly, "It's not a demon, the fallen angel is in the world at all, she has her own things to come out, and I didn't tell them at all." ”

There was still no speech on the earpiece.

Zach pursed his lips, "Anthony, you rarely take the initiative to find me, it's rare for you to take the initiative so once, you should also answer my question." ”

In a little uncomfortable silence, the office door was pushed open, and the old Hank, who was picking up the newspaper, glanced at Zack, snorted, threw a package at Zack, and left with today's newspaper in his pocket.

Zach held the earpiece, just listening to the sound of breathing over there was boring, looking at the sender on the package, raising his eyebrows, his face didn't know whether he was happy or surprised, and he held the earpiece sideways and began to unpack the package.

This is Grande's 'true brother', the package sent by Derek, and after unpacking the post, it is still wrapped, the gift wrapping, with a thank you note attached.

"Thank you very much for your photos, the children love it, but it's a little regrettable that you didn't leave the country, did you patronize and take pictures of other people and forgot about yourself?......

Remember this little incident, after Drake sent a letter to tell him about his 'half-brother's own situation, he asked Zack to help take some pictures of the funeral home and teach his children about death.

'It's a pity I didn't see Miss Louise, you guys deserve it'......

Well, about this, Zach doesn't want to leave the country, he doesn't want his photos to circulate, Louise, she can't leave the country yet.

'Ha, no kidding, I've got a little gift for you, I hope you like it. I wish you all the best, your brother, Derek. ’

Gifts, things that will make people feel good at any time, Zach is holding the microphone, anyway, it's just the sound of breathing, it's better to open a gift.

However, just unpacked.

"Uh......" Zach shook his hand that had been bounced away by the instant tingling, and looked a little speechless as Derek gave Grande a gift of a pair of men's watches and a women's bracelet for Zack, Benjamin, and Louise. Silvery.

"What! what are you doing!" the receiver spoke, not knowing whether it was irritation or worry.

"Nothing. Zach pursed his lips and carefully wrapped the speechless gift in the packaging, "Do you remember Drake, my 'brother' with Benjamin, he gave us a gift, silver, I was a little happy and a little sad." ”

Zach stretched out his fingers, little by little, pushing the gift that made him feel complicated away from himself, just expressing his emotions, "Brother's heart, it's really ......"

Without warning, "Ian!" The voice on the other side of the earpiece even shifted a little, "Ian told me!!"

Zach was stunned for a moment, then put away all his expressions and took the earpiece again, "You've met Ian." When. ”

"Don't push me, I'm not in the mood to talk to you about Ian......"

"Yes. Not only was Zack's expression gone, but even his tone was gone, "A 'brother' interrupted topic made you say Ian, and people's hearts are really calculating." Well, I need to get you to say more about the topic that is being interrupted. Well, I thought, what's better, whether it's Papa's Midnight or my vampire descendants. I have all ......."

The phone hung up.

Zach frowned as he looked at the earpiece that only had a hang-up tone. Uh, it went really well, vetoed a proposal that Anthony was trying to help with, and then hung up without saying anything. The possible crisis facing the city of Barton, Zack's plan, didn't say anything.

And now don't think about it, Zach is going to call again, and Anthony will never answer the phone. Uh, it couldn't have been smoother.

Zach stood up, and when he came to the office, he was in a normal mood, and now, he was generally down. But the facts are already facts, and Zach doesn't want to dwell on them. Out of the office, it was supposed to go back to the farm to continue practicing with Bumi, but Zach went to the basement. It's something that reminded him just now because of the phone call, and being reminded by Eve can be regarded as a vampire who is not used to it, but being reminded by a human friend, Zack needs to pay attention.

Zach glanced at Charlie in the corner of the basement facing the mirror, there was already a blurred shadow in the mirror, but it was not even a human form, and the most definite image was still the two red rays.

"Follow me up. Zach gave the order directly.

"I, where are we going?" said the question with fear, it was already dawn, Charlie should be afraid.

"Back porch. Zach walked ahead, "You want the ultimate meaning of a surname to be able to walk in the sun as if you were a human being, isn't it?" The ability to image can wait, and from now on, I'm going to teach you to walk in the sun. ”

Charlie followed.

How does Zach teach his descendants these abilities? We've seen it many times --

"Feel the breath. ”

Under this little constructive instruction, Charlie's face was pale against the shadow slope cast by the light of the East on the back porch, and his chest puffed out.

Like every time Zach is disappointed in his ability to accept his descendants, "It's not about filling your lungs with air, breathing, it's a metaphor for living creatures, enjoying life, and for vampires, it's about feeling blood." ”

Not only that, but the people in the Grande who should be awake are all awake, such as the Great Dane, such as Benjamin, such as the soul alien race who has no need for sleep, Jackson, Ryan, Mo, O'Neill...... Using mocking banter to express Zach's way of teaching - "Oh, here it again, you should look at this, this is the brainwashing process of a guy who has lived for four centuries to a novice, for fear that others will not know that they are alive, forever alive race......" is quite objective.

People who shouldn't be in Grande are also witnessing Zack's teachings - Madison's car stopped directly in front of the back porch, grabbed a handful of papers, glanced at Charlie, and looked at the living area behind him twitching out of the corner of his eye, the home belonging to Bane seemed to have not woken up in this premature time.

"Can't you wait until Monday? Today is Sunday, so Matthew has a holiday and has to accompany his father to church, so naturally he won't do the extra money for the work report, and Zach watched Madison come down with the papers, and naturally thought of this.

Madison ignored Zack, went up to the second floor very 'consciously', and pushed Louise down, "You help Zach look at this, this ......"

"Charlie, my name is Charlie, you, you must be Madison. ”

The friendly self-introduction was ignored, and Madison pulled Zach back to the office.

It's straightforward," Allen gave the deal offer. The document had been pushed in front of Zach, his eyes sweeping over the gift in a pile of crumpled wrappers, "What is this?" asked casually.

"Gifts that don't need it, either, are given to you. As he spoke, Zach picked up the file and began with a mocking chuckle, "Oh, the pure gold urn, there is still such a thing in Allen's funeral home......" and, "Crystal, transparent, doesn't it affect people's senses......" and, "What does the price behind this mean? Does Alan want to sell these things? You said it was a trade offer, you wouldn't want to buy it, would you?"

Maddison frowned and put the gift that Zach had said was useless into his pocket, why not?" ”

Zach looked down, and the corners of his eyebrows rose to a peak, "A year's purchase channel, advance in advance?" Allen, is it crazy, no, there is no way out." ”

"Just. Madison was impatient, "Agree, disagree." Drew the pen on Zack's desk and pushed it in front of Zack, "Sign it if you agree, I'll send it to Alan right away, if you don't agree, you'll lose it, you're the big boss, you decide." ”

Zach picked up the pen, shook his head with a smile on his face, and signed—"I don't want Sissi to trouble me for her boyfriend (Chris, Allen's son)." ”

"Hmph, I think so too. "Madison seems to have very few words to say this time, but every sentence counts. took the documents signed by Zack, and didn't want to look at Zack at all and didn't know who to say, "The boss doesn't do anything, but, someone will deal with Allen." "Gone. (To be continued.) )
