When I got back to Grande, there were guests waiting for Zack. Two 'extravagant' women. Sorry for the cliché description, but it's true. One is Mrs. Riley Bishop, and the other is Mrs. Fiona Falken. Two, women who can be named as ladies in the best period, so aside from their still beautiful appearances, things that can express their characteristics are extravagant~

When Zach arrived, the two were sitting in the back porch, wrapped in graceful fur, 'picking' Grande's employees.

Their dialogue goes like this, "Wow~Look at that arm~Hard as steel~"

"I bet he can 'lift' me all night~"

......

Zach looked at the two women on the backporch, looking at the employees cleaning in the backyard, "Is this some kind of twisted x fantasy game?" Zach ...... I actually tried to join the conversation.

"It's not a fantasy~" Fiona's gaze made people look at Zack's whole body uncomfortably, "Can we wait and finish talking about things, can we borrow a few of your employees to take home~"

It's not to take to a hotel or any private property, it's to take it home~

Zach scratched his chin and looked at the two women again, "What's the matter with you?"

"You don't know?" Riley has a 'pink' face as if she is already thinking about what will happen when she returns home, "She's stirring up trouble with her husband~" It's Fiona, if it symbolizes that Zach just returned and Barton is witnessing the internal strife of the 'Falken' family in the new port of the South End, this explains enough.

Then, Riley squinted, "And I~" The words after that formed a wonderful contrast with her tone, "My dear husband, died~ So, I'm~"

Zach reacted for a moment before realizing what the enchanter Riley had said.

The corner of his eye twitched, "Bishop is dead." ”

It's time too.

No, it's early. Zach frowned, very helpless, "Can't you and the fierce spirit Schell delay for a while, for example, after the New Year? After the mayoral election??" is really helpless, Bishop is an important supporter of Mayor Anthony's re-election, when will he die badly?

"Dragging?" "Aren't we dragging hard enough?" Rolling his eyes, "His soul doesn't have much 'thickness' in the first place, and it's a miracle that he can live so long in the body of Sher (the fierce spirit)......"

Riley was interrupted, it was Fiona, and she burst out laughing, as if irrepressible, "I just remembered that when we were kids, I once beat Bishop and said to him, 'If he's so unassertive, go back to Mommy's belly, don't come out.'" Fiona winked at Riley again, "Look, he's still dead in a woman's belly after all~"

You have to be objective, Bishop died in his own home. It's just that unfortunately his home, Bishop Manor, is a murderous mansion, a place of death where everything in it is entangled and entrenched by evil spirits.

Zach frowned, and looked at the two women again, a sense of confusion that he really couldn't connect the facts in front of him with what he was about to say next, "So, one is Bishop's wife, and the other is Bishop's friend. You two are here to Grande to discuss Bishop's funeral?"

"Of course~" Riley nodded, "I'm just a woman who married into a wealthy family halfway, how do I know what kind of funeral ritual should be used for a person like Bishop, I need a staff officer." He pointed at Fiona.

Fiona squinted her eyes and said something terrifying, "And I need experience~"

Experience, what experience?!The experience of the husband's funeral??

Belch.

Zach was speechless for a while, looked at the staff in the backyard for a while, and suddenly shouted, "Logan, go back to your room and rest." "Instructions were given to a specific employee.

Logan didn't know why, but he listened.

"Oh, I don't want you to play like this, Mr. Grande!" Fiona dissatisfied, "you got the best of the good!"

Zach ignored it and continued to shout, "Evan, why didn't you take off your coat to work?" ”

Does Evan have any respect for Zach? No, so his answer is, "And then I'm going to freeze to death!"

"Then do something that makes you sweat, like ......" Zach casually pointed down the carpentry shed, "to cut wood." ”

Ewen was about to talk back, but when he looked over, he saw two pairs of expectant 'wink'. "Oh!" went positively.

Ay. Evan was unexpectedly so easy to control. It seems that Zach just didn't find the right way to do it.

Satisfying the twisted desires given to the two women, Zach sorted out his thoughts and spoke, "Bishop has something left." "Strange opening.

"What?"

"How's his body?" Zach was a little more specific.

Riley pursed her lips and replied reluctantly, "Very, good." Rolling his eyes, "What can I do, three meals a day are fed by the blood of Remer." In addition to the lack of life, his body, well, that body is almost the highest standard of human health. ”

Zach seemed pleased with the answer and continued, "What about the soul?"

"A state in which the primordial sense of self is about to disappear. Riley waved her hand, "Schel (the ferocious spirit) destroyed almost all of his soul marks, but only retained a little bit of his consciousness to let him know that he was Bishop, and continued to retaliate. Probably guessing Zach's thoughts, he waved his hand, "It won't last long, his soul." Raising a little finger and holding a little fingernail on the tip of the finger, "Just a little bit, and you'll become a geist with nothing." If you expect Remer's magic or the wizard's sorcery to forcibly 'resurrect' him in possession, don't think about it, he'll live as well as a pig. ”

Presumably to dispel Zack's other thoughts, "And you'd better hurry up and get this funeral, his body, can't stay in the manor any longer, it's about to become Shel's private property." ”

"Explain?" Zach was confused.

"Remember Yuri's return to Barton's party? Riley frowned, "I don't know what happened to that Maitreya and Pochi Quin at that time. He was kind of rescued at that time, but his body began to change in the direction of the object, uh, it. ”

"Artifacts?"

"Tsk. Fiona was laughing at Zack, "I understand, you still don't understand~ Didn't you say that the fierce spirit is a very big earth bondage, the thing called the strap, entangled in matter and bound itself in this world." Now it means that Bishop's body is already like a thing in this world, and it is about to become an artifact that Sher binds himself to this world~"

"Everything in the realm of the evil spirit is something that is bound by the evil spirit. Zach didn't care, this is the reason why ordinary people can't go in and out of the murder house at will. It was a place where after entering the place, it was haunted by a ferocious spirit, and it was never to come out again. Unless, you have the all-purpose 'medicine' to restrain the soul alien race, the blood of vampires to protect you, "It's not a thing, just let Remmer pour blood on him when needed." ”

"It's not what you think. Riley glanced at Zack with a serious expression, "Bishop's body is different from everything else, and Sheel isn't just entangled in it, it's entering. ”

Zach also glanced at Riley, waiting for a more detailed explanation.

"The straps of Shel, who entered Bishop's body, will not be severed by the blood of vampires. It's like the part of the body that received Sher into it, its original soul. Vampire blood only repairs the damage to the body when it is entered by Shel, and does not play a role in restraining the soul. ”

Zach was confused for a moment and raised an eyebrow, "So Bishop isn't dead." ”

"Nope. Riley began to insist, "He's dead." The soul was now like a torn plastic bag, being grabbed by Schell and tossed around in the shackles. ”

"Nope. Zach began to, "He's not dead, he has a very healthy body, and a part of the soul that won't be wiped out by vampires, the soul of Shel." He. Emphasized, "Not dead." ”

Riley was starting to get impatient, and it was clear that Zach was pushing the idea that a strong man was difficult, "You want to think that way? He's not dead, but he's only alive at Bishop Manor." The soul of the fierce spirit can't get out of the confines of the manor, so as soon as he takes a step out of it, he will turn into a very healthy body. Zach, be in your clearest mind, this is not the kind of situation before where he could rely on the blood of a vampire to make him appear in all the places where Barton needed him, using his body and face that represented the only representation of Bishop. He died, and everything Bishop could offer to the world was with the fact that although he had a very healthy body, he could not leave the manor at all. ”

I don't know if you understand this logic, Zach understands, but still~ Zach raised his eyebrows, "So the question is not whether Bishop is alive or dead, but that the evil spirit can't leave the manor." ”

Riley opened her mouth and closed it, shaking her head as if she didn't want to argue with Zach anymore.

Zach was in an inexplicably good mood, "How long has Bishop been dead?"

"After Mrs. Quinn's funeral~" Fiona replied, "The next day, I went to find Shel, and she used Bishop's body to talk to me~" Fiona had a satisfied face, "It's weird~ but I'm happy~ I don't think I can still talk to my friends......"

Riley, who didn't want to talk to Zack, interrupted Fiona, "Don't encourage him! We're here today to make Bishop's death a reality!"

"Ah~yes~" Fiona smiled back at Zach, "As happy as I was able to actually communicate with Xell, I also had to admit one thing. Bishop's state of not being able to go out at all is very troublesome~ I need him to stand by my side as a friend I grew up with, he can't~"

Zach knew that this topic might be a continuation of the current feud between Fiona and Mr. Falken, and did not want to extend the topic for the time being, "So this situation of Bishop dead and 'living' in the manor has been going on for more than a month. Calculating the time, that's exactly what happened, Zach returned helplessly, "You can't last another month? wait until the New Year?"

"No, you can't. Riley still spoke to Zach, very simply, "I'm. "It's so direct," and the fact that this husband is still alive makes me ......," she frowned, thinking about the words. Rest assured, it's not the reason for the boredom of being hungry and thirsty, it's "irritability." Looking at Zach seriously, "The Bishop Group is basically under my control. "Don't be surprised, this is the demon talking, do you remember what a convincing 'creature' she is~ She is a guy who dares to try to 'persuade' even a creature like Zach," and now the directors of the group still have to go through Bishop's mode of speaking, which is starting to bore me. ”

Zach tentatively, "It's just a little ...... that doesn't matter"

"Not really. Fiona took over, "As I said, I also have things that need Bishop's support, not the conglomerate, it's the meaning of the family, it's just the meaning that Bishop's identity represents in Barton." Now only Bishop has this meaning. And he can't come forward, it's not a small trouble, it's a big obstacle. We need Bishop's meaning to be completely shifted from his useless body to Riley. ”

Zach could understand Fiona's words. If the Bishop Group is for real, measurable value, money. The significance of the Bishop family is the prestige that Bishop has accumulated as the founding family of Barton. This is not something that can be measured by specific value. And as long as Bishop exists for a day, this meaning cannot be taken over by Riley, as she says, halfway daughter-in-law. It had to be forced to land on her. And the only way to be forced to land is for the Bishop family to die. In conclusion, Bishop must die.

Zach also stood up for his opinion, "I'm still saying that, can't you delay a little longer?"

"Nope. The two women replied together, "Our patience is gone." in every sense. "Eyes like wolves, staring at Evan who was doing heavy work at the woodworking shed, steaming all over his body.

Tut. Zach couldn't be serious when these two women were always outstanding, but he had to, "Well, let's find a compromise." We're going to let Bishop live for a while longer, and we're going to think of a way to make it easier for each of you to get what you want. ”

"Are you in a fugue? "Did Zack selectively ignore so much just now?" "There's no compromise here!" Riley pursed her lips.

"Quinn's only heir, Pochi is going to quit the Quin Group. Zach suddenly mentioned this stubble, think about it carefully, it's not completely irrelevant, right~" In the future, he is about to completely break away from everything that Quin represents, and concentrate on running the nursing home by himself. ”

The two women glanced at each other, and Fiona opened her mouth, "Why?"

"The soul of a wizard. Zach wasn't ready to elaborate, "That's a long story, you can ask if you're interested." Pointing to his neighbor to the east, "But the meaning is that he wants to break away from 'Kunin.'" I don't think he'll get bored of changing his last name, and I don't think anyone will dismiss him as a descendant of Quinn. However, he no longer cares about any Quin-related matters. Therefore, someone must take care of Quinn's affairs......"
