While Grande was lunching, Fitz and the others arrived on time and drove a bus around Grande's backyard.

That's right, it's the bus. It's not the bright yellow-colored buses that are covered in advertisements, but the old-fashioned buses with a sense of the times. Recall that an abandoned courtyard was full of old buses like this.

It's just that the appearance of this old-fashioned bus is a little different, the original cracked dark red patent leather is covered with new paint. Fitz and the others have clearly put a lot of effort into the era-like exterior of the bus, covered in graffiti by various comic book heroes.

The comic exhibition car stared at the colorful and bright 'halo', and dragged a carload of excited otaku to appear in this lifeless funeral home in the southern district.

In Grande's backyard, in addition to the noisy noise of a group of people, there is such a conversation.

An eeriely gloomy voice came from James, "Fitz, where did you get this car?" ”

"Oh!" the excited voice came from Fitz, "that abandoned bus terminal south of Paising! Didn't something happen, uh, bad things happened before! By the way, I remember reading the news that you didn't handle the case there with your partner Detective Cousson?!

Everyone remembered that Lola's public welfare project took a group of high school students to clean up the abandoned bus stop of Paisying. Yes, the place where Papa hid the walking corpse at midnight and made the Dead Apostles.

That's the end of Zack's bad taste of eavesdropping on other people's conversations. The Grand Restaurant couldn't accommodate so many guests, so a long table was set up in the backyard and lunch was served in the backyard.

Zach, on the other hand, did not participate in, or even show up for lunch. Zach is in the office, but Grande has one of the most senior members accompanying Zack, Hank Sr.

"Hank. Zach looked helplessly at the old man across the desk. Hank has made a 'sacrifice' for the benefit of Grande, and Zach really doesn't want to embarrass him now, but there are some things that Zack must have an answer to, "Do you want to sue me or not, how did 'Grande' and Ian know." ”

Zach said the word 'Grande' in a peculiar tone. This is to distinguish between the previous generation Grande and Zach himself.

Didn't Zach mention two people in the previous conversation with James: Before the war was over, Patton, the abandoned Toledo descendant, Ian Anthony, and the whole human being, Lip, were all enigmatic sanatorium patients.

There is a golden rule for exploring and dealing with incidents, which is to ask yourself whether this matter is within your ability.

Like now, Zach had two options.

Without the slightest clue, he pursued Lip, who was like a puzzle. Getting answers, which is obviously something 'out of capability' and a waste of time. Or, ask the old man in front of him, who is already a strange family member, Zach thinks to himself, this is 'within his ability', Zach is wrong.

"We've been sitting here for an hour. Zach sighed and shook his head, unexpectedly. It's a waste of time," Hank. Aren't you hungry?"

Old Hank lowered his eyes and lifted up, glanced at Zach, and lowered himself again, not knowing where to look again. The wrinkles on his face, which really can't distinguish the eyebrows, are original. It's still a new addition to the occasion.

Zach pursed his lips, "Hank, we don't need to sit here. Zach's hand beckoned in front of him, it was a 'smell', "Can you smell it?" Alice made lamb chops. Don't you want to go out to eat?"

Zach is chasing old Hank to get up, get out of his seat, and get out of the office!

It's a ridiculous state of affairs - Zach summoned Old Hank here because of his own questions, and asked questions, and now, Old Hank neither answered, nor did he respond to whether he would answer or not, and just sat in the chair that he had handmade with the previous generation of Grande, and said nothing!

The person who answered the question has not left the table, so how can the person who asked the question leave? This is a simple question of upbringing. And we know how much Zach likes his gentlemanly attributes.

Zack's hand flapping in front of his nose stopped, collapsed limply, and rested on the table, Zach gave up, "Okay, Hank, let's do that." Zach shook his head, his eyes wandering around the office, and sighed helplessly, "We have time." ”

The self-defeating vampire tugged at the corners of his mouth and casually muttered meaningless complaints, "If you want, we can sit here forever." Zach didn't even look at the wine bottle in front of him, and skillfully brought himself lunch, "You know how light it is for me forever......"

"I just hate you like this!!" Hong Zhong's scolding finally appeared in this office after an hour of silence, and old Hank finally spoke!

Zach's hand holding the bottle paused for a moment, and his wandering gaze in the office returned to old Hank, his movements returning to naturalness, raising his eyebrows, "You say, 'you'." ”

Of course, Zach wouldn't waste the opening he had been waiting so hard to find out why Old Hank had spoken. What Zach needs is to follow the word, either go to a dead end and let old Hank go, or be lucky enough to get the answers he wants to know.

"Do you mean me and Ian?"

"Or else!" Old Hank roared as he glared at Zack, "how many vampires do you think will come to this little border town!"

The small side town is said to be the city of Barton. Patton was in the easternmost part of the Union, and Patton was cut out of Newton's belly. Looking at Hank's age, comparing his life to a city that is only a little more than fifty years old, there is nothing surprising that he says is in tatters. That's an accurate statement.

Zach didn't care about Old Hank's words, but about his volume. Zach looked behind Old Hank and reminded him that there was a group of innocent citizens in the backyard across the wall who didn't know what vampires were.

Old Hank instinctively glanced back, and then snorted heavily with disdain, the volume was still the same, "What's the matter?!Dare to go around talking about your 'forever', don't dare to say your own 'race'?!"

Zack tugged at the corners of his mouth, which was clearly angry, and reminded in a calm tone, "Hank." ”

Old Hank squeezed his face, snorted a few times, and waved his hand. The volume finally came down, "What do you want to know?!

Zach emptied the food in the cup, which can be regarded as dissipating the feeling of being completely speechless to old Hank, "Just tell me how you came into contact with Ian." Zach lifted a few pieces of paper in his hand, "I need to confirm some time points......

Zach's meaning is simple, I wonder how Ian was not sealed in the cemetery of the GrandWest Side in a textbook way. That was the last generation of Grande, and it's in the past. Zach only wanted to know a few things about Ian's free time in Barton.

But Zack's words were interrupted, and old Hank waved his hand impatiently, "Don't count your affairs against me in the future!

Zach frowned, the fact is that there has never been such a thing as 'suing sù or not suing' in Grande, and the 'people' who know each other are just defenseless against each other, such as not closing the door when talking and not shying away from doing things...... The Grande building is a simple L-shape, with the office as the center of the first floor, and anyone can pass through.

But Zach pursed his lips. Nodding his head, he agreed, and this promise was entirely based on the fact that Zach, who had seen the decoration blueprints, knew that the future Grande office was private enough, and the other Grande members really didn't have a chance to pass by.

And Zach understands the feelings of old Hank, who just returned from Squill yesterday.

"Let's talk about the important time, and Ian at Patton. Zach used a half-reassuring tone, "You don't need to force what you don't want to say. ”

Old Hank snorted. The year, month, date, and time were reported. Precise made Zach speechless again, "This is the first time we've seen him!"

We. Apparently with old Grande.

It is worth noting that, except for the year and date that Old Hank said is consistent with Brian's admission to a psychiatric institution, the moment Old Hank said was in the dead of night, and the reason for this is immediately known.

"We were still in the South End at the time, and Hardy's guy was still ours. Old Hank took the time to snort again. It's lamenting the present of old Hardy in its own way, right?

"We're dealing with ......," Old Hank pouted, "dealing with ......"

"Skip. "Zach very thoughtful tips.

"Deal with a certain commission!" Old Hank stubbornly insisted on using a pronoun that was already obvious and could not be more obvious, glaring at Zack, "The client is...... It's ......"

Zach spreads his hands. "You can skip it. ”

"It's those people in the West End!" Zach had no intention of agitating the generals, and he didn't know what Old Hank thought, so he insisted on saying that there was no way, and glared at Zach emphatically, "Those people!"

Zack waved his hand, hoping to reluctantly signal Hank to skip the obvious enough description. If you don't see it, the hint is that Grande used to have a gray professional status - a cleaner, and the people worth talking about in the West Side can still hire Grande to 'clean up', could it be those servants and security guards, but only those upper-level guys, such as Quinn and Herman, no matter how bad they are, they are also of the Quest order.

But Zach had already raised his hand, and before he could swing it at any angle, he stopped in the air, pursed his lips and thought, "Go on." Explained afterward.

"First time we met! We didn't know what he was up to, and he used that red eye on us!" Old Hank was a little angry, and the old thing seemed to make him very unhappy.

"The Eyes of Enchantment. Zach shook his head, correcting Old Hank's words.

Correcting is useless, 'Red-Eyed Guy' is a curse blurted out by Old Hank after discovering Zack's true race (Volume 14, Chapter 24), and then 'Red-Eyed' is kept all the time, no matter how much Zack corrects it, it has no effect.

"But he's obviously not very good at using his red eyes!" Old Hank stubbornly insisted on his words, "Hardy's hit! Grande (Old Grande) hit! I didn't!"

Zack's feelings at this time are a little complicated. Remember that Zack's education of Ian only lasted a few days, he was not a descendant of Heyi, and on the battlefield, Anthony regretted his decision to ask Zack to convert Ian, and Zach didn't have time to teach the only Toredo properly, so he abandoned him to fend for himself.

As it turned out, it was a belated disappointment that the abandoned Toledo descendant had not grown much from the battlefield to the city that the soldiers, especially his brother Anthony, had dreamed of.

Zach shook his head, putting aside the idea, Ian was already working on it. Don't forget the reason why Anthony regretted driving away his brother in the end - Ian is an impulsive, extreme, and reckless person. It's a terrible thing to give him the power of a vampire.

Zach felt relieved at this time, and when Ian saw Old Hank and his group, his first reaction was not to use violence to solve the problem, but to use the vampire's unique charm pupil. It doesn't matter if the ability is enough, at least Ian is adjusting to the vampire's state of life - the conflict against humans will never have to be reduced to violence.

It's a conflict, and then it's explained together.

"And then he's gone!" Old Hank snorted, "I've never seen anyone with such red eyes and so much speed!

"Gone. Zach repeated. But Zach knew that Ian hadn't left Barton because it turned out that he was buried in a cemetery on the West End, "and then until he was buried, did you know some of his actions, what he did at Barton?"

This question is more appropriate to ask Sbella, but unfortunately, Zach didn't think of this when Sbella was there.

"I don't know!" Old Hank directly blocked Zach's expectations, "When I saw him again, he came directly to Grande with red eyes!

Old Hank again gave a precise date and time.

Zach looked at the documents in front of him, which coincided with the time Brian was taken into a treatment facility that was disconnected from society.

Zach had confirmed something and was relieved. Looking at old Hank, he suddenly wanted to laugh, "You didn't hit his ......" probably to relax the atmosphere, Zach used, "'Red Eye'." ”

Old Hank's face darkened, and he was silent for a while, "(Old) Grande was sick then, and he was weak. Hardy is a bit of a bad habit......"

Old Hank shook his head and whispered a name, "Smith." ”

Smith's products, you know. After all, Old Hardy has gone farther and farther on this road, and has become the state we know now, needless to say.

Old Hank took a deep breath and glanced at Zack, "I've lived with you for so long, and I pretty much know how your red eye works." I'm healthy, I'm vigorous! His half-toned red eyes can't fool me!"

Zach laughed dryly, once again throwing away the relief he had just floated and replacing it with disappointment. An old man, how much can life be vigorous? Zack can make Hank forget his name even if he squints his eyes even in the middle of a diet!

This disappointment has the added bonus of other things, and Ian can't save even a child who is in deep trouble, and to this day, that child has become Zack's trouble.

With that, Old Hank finally got up from his seat and couldn't wait to go to lunch. Zach, on the other hand, calmed down and dialed Anthony's phone. (To be continued......)
