Dimmly lighted and accompanied by a soothing and relaxing band, this is the bar area next to the restaurant on the second floor of Hotel Liszt. The time is 8 o'clock after dinner.

Yes, it is for singles and non-singles who are well-dressed and well-dressed to find occasions and moments for tonight's pastime after dinner.

And the atmosphere here, with a little alcohol, is encouraging them, get to know each other, order a glass or two of Long Island 'soda', and have a good conversation, no need to introduce yourself or anything, no one cares about your real name, just leave the room card for each other at the end.

The bartender handed a glass of red wine in front of Zach and winked with a smile, "The lady over there gave it to the gentleman." ”

Zach followed the bartender's gaze, and at the other end of the bar, Susan, who was dressed as a professional woman, gently raised her glass, nodded slightly with a complicated expression, and then turned her gaze away and walked towards a middle-aged man sitting alone with a clear goal.

Zach laughed, was Susan courting?

Probably, I'm wondering why Grande's owner, Louise's boyfriend, is here. No, Susan should know why, and when she called Louise in the morning, she should have been ready to 'meet' Grande.

But it shouldn't be here, where Susan works. Here, it's considered a public place, and the advantage of working in public should be that you have no fear. So Susan is having no fear, and a glass of wine to say 'don't come and get in my way' is already a gesture of goodwill.

"I know the middle-aged man. Zach was talking to the bartender, "I was present on Ethella's recent trip (from the police), and he was Newton's project planning agent, and he came to Barton to assess the value of the old Herman factory site. Because Aethra's husband had been involved in the acquisition of the Hermann plant, they attended an appraisal meeting together. ”

The bartender nodded unnoticed, okay, just tell everyone. This bartender is No.

Before coming, Zach watched as No, holding a 'water-infused handkerchief', gave a facial to the young man who was supposed to be in the position, and then changed his clothes and threw the poor guy in his underwear out of the trash bin behind the hotel.

"We had an hour. As Noe said this, Zach sniffed the handkerchief curiously. "Where did you get these things?" Zach asked, and Noe just smiled.

It can be said that with the help of Nuo and the police information, Zach saved a lot of trouble. Now they're here because of police information -- Susan has been here a lot lately, working.

No's companionship is for insurance purposes to prevent Aethra, who knows Zack's true identity and abilities, from appearing. 'Protect' her subordinate Susan. If Ethra's foreknowledge had foreseen that Zach would sabotage the threat she was trying to pose to Cologne, it would have been impossible for Zach to have a one-on-one conversation with Susan under the protection of Ethella, who was not leaving the silverware.

Yes, in the spirit of 'let's see', Zach told Nova everything, including his relationship with Anthony, including his relationship with Ethella, as well. What Zach is doing now can only stop here with Susan. If you continue to go deeper, I am afraid that it will arouse Anthony's disgust. Anthony doesn't like Zach meddling in his 'business' with an inhuman side, remember.

And Nou has proven his abilities, such as the current disguise.

According to Nou's explanation, Smith had previously asked him to investigate the second appearance of 'Valmina'. As a result, Zach was barred from the Herman luncheon in Liszt's estate. Entrusted by Smith, the Noge Liszt Hotel has established a file, including the change time of staff, material access, hotel management, etc. Trying to figure out how Boyson had infiltrated the luncheon at the time.

Now it's just a matter of applying it, and it couldn't be easier.

"What are you going to do. Nou skillfully played the role of bartender behind the bar, and whispered to Zack.

"Let's hear what they have to say. Zach shook the wine that Susan had paid for and took a sip. Before the effects of alcohol can be brought into effect, it is regarded as a foreign body that has a paralyzing effect on the body. Wiped out by the blood of a vampire is like taking a sip of water.

"Hehe, I'm so jealous of you. "But I don't think you'll hear anything, useful news, and it won't be said right now, only in the room where you're already honest." ”

Zach smiled and nodded, "You're right, right now, they're talking about the scenery of Barton." Zach raised an eyebrow, "Susan was complaining about her room, which was facing Knoll Beach, but it was autumn and she couldn't see anything at night. And the gentleman from Newton was saying that his room was facing the port of Massa, and at night he could overlook the brightly lit port. ”

Nuo and Zach glanced at each other and raised their eyebrows, probably with feelings, "This Susan is really proficient in her work, and the progress is really fast." ”

Zach smiled and completely agreed, and look, Mr. Newton smiled and took out his room card, pressed it lightly on the bar, and pushed it towards Susan. How can you let Miss Beautiful sleep in a room that is not satisfying?

"More is better than less, it's your turn, No. Zach smiled at Nuo.

Nod nodded, and walked over to Susan with the mixed wine.

"Miss, this is the gentleman's return gift. Noe smiled and put down his glass in front of Susan, pointing in Zach's direction.

Susan's face was a little embarrassed, she definitely didn't expect Zach to return the salute. The previous gesture of goodwill was a greeting, not a demand for courtesy.

Zach lifted his glass here, but his eyes swept over to Susan, who was a little embarrassed, to Newton's husband, and his chin was lifted slightly, then nodded.

Of course, Mr. Newton's also looked at Zack, pursed his lips in annoyance, and at the same time looked at Zack uncontrollably, and then, the middle-aged chubby body unconsciously adjusted his posture on the high stool, lifted the cup to empty, looked at Susan with a slightly red face, stood up and walked away.

That's what happened to Zach Biyan. In the social arena of adults, self-knowledge helped him a lot, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it, and walked out of the bar area with a disappointed face.

The corners of Susan's mouth twitched, picked up Zach's return salute, walked straight over, and sat down directly beside Zach, "Mr. Grande, what do you mean." ”

"Miss Susan. What can I mean? Zach gestured to the glass Susan had placed in front of him, "You seem to have made a note of my preference for red wine, I have to show something, right, why, don't you like it?"

"You know I'm working!" Susan was obviously heard by the 'bartender' at the Liszt Hotel, although she had lowered her voice. Casting a puzzled look at her, Susan could only pull out a bill and push it out to the 'bartender', "Your face is unfamiliar, new here." Be smart!"

The 'bartender' was stunned, happily accepted the unexpected tip, and stood far away.

Zach stared at his cup with a smile, not ready to say anything.

"What's so funny about you!" Facing the bar, Susan didn't have to worry about her expression being seen by anyone. Full of gloom, "Why are you here?"

Zach pouted and shrugged, "What do you care about, Louise? Am I strange here, the gentleman just now seems to approve of someone like me on such an occasion." ”

"Do you know who that is!" Susan seemed to be angry, and pulled the corners of her mouth irritably, "Aethera has an important target, I watched him for two days before making a move!

Susan's honesty really surprised Zach a little, and he glanced at the irritable Susan. "You, will you just tell me this?"

"What does it matter. I didn't say who he was. Susan looked away, and actually raised her glass to drink Zack's return salute, "It's all seen by you, you're going to report to Anthony, go and check, hum." I can't stop it. ”

Zach tilted his head, undeniable, but it really didn't need to be so troublesome, Zach knew who the other party was, "Then you should be conscious." I could sabotage your operation, so why bother?"

Susan looked at Zach for a moment, and her tone was sarcastic, "You'll find out who he is." You don't need me to continue feeding you information here, I'm still Ethera's man, don't forget, I'm a rival with you. ”

Zach was a little curious. From the police information, he already knew that the other party was a businessman from Newton, could it be that he was about to leave Barton, and today was Susan's last chance to make a move? Of course, Zach would not express this doubt, he expressed another doubt, "Of course I haven't forgotten, so I want to ask you, Miss Susan, why did you inform Louise and Grande about Cologne in the morning?"

Susan was silent for a moment, then raised her glass to empty Zach's return gift. The 'bartender' is very considerate to take away the empty glasses, and stands in a position that gives guests space and can respond to the call at any time.

"Whatever you think, I'd like to think of myself as Louise's friend. Susan looked at Zach with no kindness, "Even though we have different perspectives, it doesn't affect my hope that she is doing well." ”

What the?

Zach raised an eyebrow, and could only pause the movement of letting the red cover his eyes listen.

"I don't know what Louise said to you about me, but you should be able to tell that our lives are completely different, and it seems to me that I am at least going up to make my life better. What about her?" Glancing at Zach, "If I hadn't been lucky enough to bump into you, I'd still be standing on the side of the street!"

It's mean, but it's accurate.

Zach couldn't be involved in the morning call, and now, Zach had to say, "But the truth is, Louise is better, and Louise can say that she has Grande to call home." You're just changing places, can you say that you can use Athera or here, as a home? Do you think that's better?"

Susan glanced at Zach again, "So you think I should be looking forward to good luck while I'm still standing with Louise on the side of the street, rather than trying to get up on my own?"

Putting aside the nature of this work that requires 'standing', Zach really can't argue with it. I can only shake my head, let's stop here, "Don't talk about that, Susan, you should know why I'm here." Then I'll just go straight to the point, hand over the picture of Cologne, and we'll be the one that happened. Then I would like to express my gratitude to you personally, well, and to Grande, for your intelligence and cooperation. ”

"Hmph!" Susan shook her head, "if Ethra was a stroke of luck I met on the street, I would have let it go, but this is the life I have worked so hard to get, and I am not ready to let it go because of a personal thank you of you! Who do you think you are!"

This is already an obvious mockery, and it's not over yet, "Hehe, if you're here to negotiate conditions, find your own position, Cologne, you, and me are all small people, and the real showdown is Anthony and Aethera." We, on behalf of Ethra, there is nothing to say, now who are you representing? ”

Does Zach need to explain who he represents? No, no. Standing not far away, the 'bar' that was always ready to respond to the call of the guests was seen, red in the dim and soft light, pouring out in the center of the pupil. With the red wine that is picked up and shaken, it seems to be an unreal reflection.

Acera didn't show up, and No, who didn't play a role, would of course be curious as to what Zach was going to say next with that 'red gaze from wine'.

But, the wine glass was put down, the red in his eyes disappeared, Zach turned his head sideways and looked at the entrance of the bar area, Zach's tone was calm, "Susan, you know who Grande, I, represent, and there is nothing to say." Zach really represents Cologne who saved himself, but please contact the context, Susan will think it is Mayor Anthony, Zach deliberately created this misunderstanding, "Then keep in touch and continue to talk later." Now, can you leave for a moment? ”

Answering the waiting, Smith walked into the bar area with an impatient expression.

Susan frowned, as if she didn't understand Zach's words for a moment, "What did you say?"

Zach confirmed that Smith saw him, turned around, looked at Susan, and actually reached out and picked up Susan's handbag, opened it very consciously, took out Mr. Newton's room card before, and shook it in front of Susan, "Thank you for reminding me before, I can't let you continue to hold this, in case you repair the damage just now, it's not good, you just said, we are two sides with opposing positions." Right. ”

Susan reacted and snatched back her handbag, it was impossible to grab the room card, and Zach had already stuffed it into the inside pocket of his chest. Susan glared at Zack with an incredulous gaze and tugged at the corners of her mouth, "-rascal!"

The connection was very close, Smith sat next to Zack, habitually glanced at the 'bartender', stunned for a moment, and reacted quickly, "Did I disturb something?" and then looked at Susan who was leaving, frowning.

With a glance at Henuo, Zach smiled, "No." I'm just enjoying the Liszt ban that has just been lifted. "Oz helped Zack get it, don't forget it, otherwise Zack would be the guy who disguised himself as a bartender, "No, En ......" is more difficult to explain.

"Huh. Smith smiled unnaturally, "You don't have to explain it to me. His gaze had already turned away, and he had the widest view of the bar here, leaning sideways, searching for something, "I'm here too...... Hey, it looks like it's a step too late. He turned around, with disappointment on his face, glanced at the wine glass in front of Zack, then at Nuo, and shook his head with a helpless smile, "Same as this gentleman." (To be continued.) )
