Considering the road conditions, he went out at six o'clock, took Chapman with him, dropped off his Great Dane at the entrance of Pochi Quinn——. and Zach got on Route 27 to the North End.

The reason for bringing Chapman was not so that Chapman could report Zack's actions to Darcy, but so that Chapman could relay it to the demon. and the content that Zach wanted to talk to James at night but gave up temporarily due to the presence of Mr. Pixar.

It's just talking," ...... That's what I thought. I don't know what Athera is going to say to me later, but I'll talk to her about it when I get a chance, this woman has a lot of insight into this kind of political thing, I'll drop you off at Mary's Chapel, you talk to Jessica and Louise, see what they think, and then I'll come back and pick you up. ”

Chapman's head was about to blow up. On the one hand, he was sleep deprived, and on the other hand, he was not sure what he was hearing — a vampire describing to him, a police officer, about his manipulation of the direction of urban politics. It feels like a dream.

Without confirming whether this was a dream or not, Chapman was put down in front of Mary's Chapel and Zach continued on his way to Liszt.

When you arrived, it was dark, and the interior of Yuri's hotel was filled with deliberately dim lighting, with the occasional sound of shoe soles colliding with marble floors echoing in the lobby. Zach was sensing Ethera's location when a woman approached, "I hate you. ”

Zach had to accept his undisguised disgust, because this woman was Susan. Louise had 'cured' the poor woman after all. Presumably, the day before yesterday, Zach missed Louise's call from the nursing home, which was about it. After that, I didn't mention it again, and I guess I didn't think Zach would care.

"Keep this nasty, you know it's the only emotion you can hold on to me. Zach is already very straightforward, and there is no need to hide anything from this woman now, both sides know their own details. So what it means is 'You're just going to hate me, human.'"

Susan's cheeks twitched, and her gaze deliberately stayed on Zach's green eyes, as if to express an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance—you can't scare me, I'm not afraid of you. It's boring.

Zach didn't want to waste time on something like this, "Are you here to pick me up and see Ethera?" ”

"Hmph. Follow me. Susan led the way. Zach kept his distance and followed.

Rising vertically in an elevator in an enclosed space, Zach had no intention of deliberately finding a topic to lighten the mood. But the other party spoke, not only spoke, but also moved.

"So ten years later, Louise is still the way she is now, and I have to wear more makeup. "Susan in Zach's arms.

Zach was stunned for a moment. The first is to be surprised by the woman who hated herself one moment ago, but suddenly clinged to her body at this moment. Then I was very curious, Susan, this woman, well, let's be specific, the senior escort girl, with what kind of psychology did she ask this kind of question.

Zack's emotional control didn't need to be said more, and he was already calm when he spoke, "Ten years later, if you are still in this profession, I believe that comparing with Louise is the last thing you have to worry about." "Gentlemanly manners are probably dead.

Zach could clearly feel the body temperature of the woman who was inexplicably attached to his arms rising, caused by anger.

Bite. It's here.

Susan left Zack's body, and pretentiously tidied up the crumpled clothes she threw herself into her arms, and gave a room number without saying a word.

Zach took it for granted that the room number was Ethella's room and frowned. So what was Susan doing just now? And why did Aethra live here? Isn't she coming home?

Don't bother to think about it, you should know the answer right away anyway.

"You're late. "Aethra, who opened the door for Zack, was only wearing pajamas, the kind sent by the hotel.

Zach walked into the room, and the standard suite had only one bed with signs of sleeping, and two pairs of used slippers in the bathroom. Zach didn't even need to keep looking at the room—"When did Anthony leave?" ”

"When I called you. Acera didn't wear any makeup, her hair was messy, and she was massaging her puffy eyes, which were clearly caused by lack of sleep.

"You're going to treat me to breakfast?" Zach sat on the clean bed, just a joke that wasn't very funny.

Aethra pointed to the Xiaoice box in the room, "Please enjoy." ”

Zach took it with the mindset of seeing what the woman could come up with. As a result, Zach looked at the red wine bottle in the refrigerator, "Where did you get this?" Zach took it in his hand and opened the cap. Is this real blood, or vampire blood.

If it is human blood, Zach will not touch it, because the physical form of human beings has the state of corpses, and the blood of corpses is poisonous. Vampires don't have that state. Anytime it's confirmed that it's vampire blood, it's safe food. If vampire food is the same as human food, then it's the highest kind of good—the blood of Vendron. Yes, the clan that has always been proud of its noble bloodline. Zach had some 'stench' that he didn't want to smell anymore.

"Papa gave it to me at midnight. Aethra looked relaxed, "As a human without the slightest Indian blood, I actually have the courage to go to him for a reward for cooperation. Then he rolled his eyes, "I've been here for almost half a year." ”

Zach had to be surprised. Although I had long known that Aethera, who was still competing with Anthony, had a clear move towards Pochi Quinn's side, I really didn't expect this woman to really find Papa at midnight, or half a year??

"You've always had this kind of thing on your hands?"

"Why, you look surprised. ”

"Of course I'm surprised. Do you know what the blood of Van Zhuo means?"

"Yes. But I don't care. Ethella's eyes were a little swollen, but that didn't stop her from showing contempt, "For me, is this thing useful for me other than to cure colds?" ”

"Ugh. Zach looked around the room and took a fancy to Ethella's handbag, "This one is for me." He poured out the contents of the bag very ungracefully, "You can ask your men to bring you a bag." "It's Susan, myself, put the blood of Fan Zhuo in her bag, and carefully put it in a conspicuous place on the counter when you go out, in case you forget to take it when you leave.

Acera watched Zach do all this as if admiring, "Don't you ask why Papa gave me this at midnight~ You just believed what I just said this is a reward for my courage?"

"It doesn't matter. Zach's logic was very clear, "That's what happened when you were still against Anthony, right now." Zach sat back on the clean bed and glanced at the messy Ethella, "No point. "Anthony left your bed in the middle of the night, so why should I care about those meaningless old things?

"Okay~" Aethra didn't know what to think, twisting her body on the bed, with a smile that made people unable to look at her, "Hehehe~ But there is one thing I want you to understand." When I needed to confront a Toredo, you, Papa gave me the blood of Van Zhuo at midnight, and this ......"

"Do you want me to say thank you, you only use this as a cold medicine?" ”

Aethra raised an eyebrow, "It's easy~" Everyone tried to keep along, "After I had Gangero, Remer, and even Nophile at Barton, I began to suspect that you didn't have much hatred for the Hidden Alliance. But, sure enough, you are in the Hidden Alliance, and there are still guys who really hate you~ In other words, Papa Midnight really gave me a good thing, if I use it right, you will, well, mess up. ”

"Mess up?" Zach looked at Ethra and shook his head, "You're wrong, I'm going to let me you've never met, and you'll regret it - I'll stop caring about the little feud between you and Anthony and a human like Anthony, and solve the problem in the same way as a vampire." ”

Athera didn't seem to be intimidated by the obvious cruel words, she was calm and sensible, "Yes. I guess that's what Papa Midnight wants. ”

Zach wasn't going to do anything stupid about Papa's midnight thoughts. So there was no response.

Aethra was keen, sensing Zack's coldness on the subject, and began to change the subject, probably the main theme of the breakfast appointment—"In an hour, I will attend the Mary Chapel service with Anthony." The death of the Newton Rover, and he and I, two mayoral candidates, defined it in front of the media - the relationship between Barton and Newton should not be played in the shelter in the future. With that, Aethra got up from the bed and began to make up.

In a way, Zach didn't like Ethella's suggestion that he still called himself a mayoral candidate. Because although in theory, Ethera's campaign office was shut down (the Liszt affair), if the campaign was a cause, she was undoubtedly bankrupt and ineligible to continue to hold the title.

But, in fact, this guy who has gone bankrupt has been contributing to society recently. Grande House of the Wayside, yes, now wants to intervene in the mayor's concern about friendly neighbor cities.

This woman is definitely planning something!

In front of the mirror, Athera kept pushing and pulling her cheeks, reducing the swelling and pulling the fine lines on her neck. With the speed of her ink, Zach was skeptical that she would be able to finish her makeup and leave before 8 o'clock.

Aethra spoke again, "I must admit, you've handled this very well. That phantom lord of Newton, well, called, Richie, right? I don't think he had any purpose, and the meeting with Anthony was dragging on and on. The death of the wanderer this time should be able to make some movement. Foundation handed me over. ”

Zach searched for a moment among the piles he had poured out and tossed them to Aethra.

"Anthony needs to have a head on Newton's future developments. "It's still Ethera," before he could discuss future plans for the city with the Stone family...... What is this, don't you know foundation, this is concealer. Another bottle. ”

Zach continued to look and throw out.

Aethra continued, "Anthony has been giving Blake a vacation recently...... Zach kept listening, and it was good, the cause and effect between Newton's Phantom Lord's visit to Blake and Blake's vacation can be explained, "It's because the Stone family only knows that Newton's new mayor is about to take office, but they don't know that in addition to this mayor, what they really need to care about is this Phantom Lord." Stone's plans for Barton's future may not be useful. Anthony doesn't want to be involved with the Stone family about these issues at that time, so Richie the Phantom has to give us a clue about what he wants, and what role he expects Barton to play in Newton's recovery. He's going to play with Barton, and Barton is going to go with Newton. Ethra, who was covered in white lotion on half of her face, looked at Zach in the mirror, "You understand. ”

"Who do you think you're talking to. "Toledo's pride. Playing politics, Zach can be the grandfather of Ethra's grandfather......

The only disadvantage that Zach has over Aethra is that Zach is not the person who was taken by Anthony*. Belch. Trust me, I really don't want to mention this kind of ...... if I can

"Hehe, I know you'll understand. Aethra laughed, "And I know what you're thinking, you think I must have some purpose in being so close to Anthony, knowing everything, and being involved in every decision made by Anthony, right?"

"Do you have a purpose? "Do you need to whitewash? No. As a woman and a vampire in the hotel room where Anthony was leaving in the middle of the night, Zach was in absolute control. Well, you know, what does it mean for a man to open a room and leave in the middle of the night? There is no need to explain, a woman has no guarantee of life safety in such a situation.

"Of course I have~" Aethra deliberately turned around and smiled at Zack. This woman's smile made Zach have an ominous premonition, "Have you ever hated yourself for not being the one who accompanied Anthony to bed~"

Why?!! Ethrafil is bringing up this kind of topic that people don't want to respond to.

Zach tilted his head and didn't want to speak.

"That's the way it is~ Anthony will tell me what he says to you~ because I'm the one who accompanies him to bed~ We have plenty of time~ But what Anthony says to me, he will never tell you~ because you're not the one to accompany him......"

Be sure to interrupt, with Ethella's attitude now that she is just deliberately disgusting Zach, she will definitely not miss any opportunity to emphasize that aspect of the matter, "Tell me directly, what do you want." ”

"Huh. Aethra finally started to apply her makeup again, though still inked, "Let me ask you a question. Do you recognize my abilities? ”

Good question. Zach replied, "Admit it." "Denial is too naïve to be necessary.

"Okay~" Aethra smiled at Zach in the mirror, "I have the ability, I have information channels that you can't receive." "The bed is also the channel, and it is okay to have a group of women like Susan, "I am no longer an enemy of you and Anthony." I have a way for you to completely accept my sincere statement at this time, and no longer doubt me. Hehe. ”

Aethra had a miserable white face - the woman had put on so much ink that the foundation had not been applied to this day. Turning to Zach again, "I'm good enough to be the standard for your Toledo descendants~"
