12 Root's phone
The call was from Rutler Sembra, who taunted Zach on the phone for a long time before realizing that Zach had not replied, "Have you lost hope of life and decided to die?" β
To a human being, this sentence is at best a mockery, a mockery of the kind of person who does not have the courage to continue to live and advance some inevitable event in the future. But to say to an immortal vampire, it's a simple personal attack.
Zach spoke, "No. "Sorry, I'm just a little distracted." It's not a conversation technique that deliberately disgusts the other party, it's a fact, "I didn't listen to what you just said, can you repeat it?"
There was silence on the side of the earpiece for a while, it should be suppressing anger, and the effect was okay, "I'm saying, it's a pity, even James's plot can only drag Louise to the camera." Hmph, against you, it looks like I need more crucial pieces. β
"Oh. Zach answered, and his brain was only now beginning to follow the words in the earpiece, "Did you instruct James's marriage proposal?"
"Is it surprising to you~" smug.
"Not really. Zack's face was very calm, in fact, it was just an excessive expression that had just recovered from the shaking, "James must have a very strong motive to plot against me. And I don't think Barton's environment can give James such a strong thing, so he has to come from the West. β
The smug that had just risen on the side of the earpiece was knocked back into silence, it should also be suppressing anger, and the effect was okay, "You seem to have a clear grasp of the situation, so why don't you restore how I let James plot against you." β
It can only be said that Rout has not given up yet, he is bound to taunt Zack once before giving up and letting Zach restore it is naturally not that Rout trusts Zack's ability more, but that as long as Zach says a little wrong, he can "Hahaha! You are wrong! Hahaha!
Is it naΓ―ve, it is naΓ―ve. But please understand, Root has not once had the upper hand in the communication with Zach on his own, and he is already weak enough to ask his father to play...... Let's feel it. So Rutte, very, needs a victory, even if it's naΓ―ve.
Zach calmly stepped into the calculations of Root, "Shall I revert? Zach was a little distracted again as Ryan floated over again, "I think you coerced James in some way." Zach waved his hand away Ryan, who was constantly howling, 'Why don't you turn off the TV!', "Considering the timing, I guess it's about his father." β
Zach didn't quite perfect his logic, basically thinking of something to say, "Well." Isn't Kate back at Barton, and General Lance's future should be cold. β
This should be Root's chance, as long as he looks hard, he can find Zach's loophole......
It's a pity that it's such a non-serious conversation, and there is not a single crack that Rutt can drill into "especially now that the partners of the federal military have been renewed." Zach stared at Ryan impatiently, and continued his words into the earpiece, "Tsmich, who has the best relationship with the military, can't endorse a general now, and the new Giovanni and Cappadocia should also be more willing to cultivate new military friendships and not waste energy on these old people." So as long as Kate makes public the evidence she has, General Lance should be completely cold. β
"Wait a minute. Zach frowned, put down the earpiece, stood up, walked around the desk, and forced Ryan, "If you bother me again, I'll send you back to your house." β
Ryan yelled into the air and vanished.
Zach returned to his desk and picked up the earpiece again, "I'm sorry, Grand's Earthbinder, the wizard's son Ryan, you know. Uh, where did I just go?" said Zach, unfocused.
"General Lance, it's cold!" there was a sound of gnashing teeth in the earpiece.
"Oh, I said he was cold?" Zach wasn't really sure what he said, "I'm sorry, I thought he should be cold." Zach also repeated, "Yes." β
"Tsk, you said it should!"
"Oh, forgive me, I'm a little inattentive. Zach didn't realize that he was constantly apologizing for his distractions, and it was hitting Root again and again...... "I think General Lance was very aware of his situation, so he made arrangements for this, while he was still a high-ranking person with resources and power in the society of the Federation. "What Zach said next, pay attention, "Some time ago, James had an extra identity. Clean identity, and enough cash for James to go anywhere in the world, and, well, weapons. Zach was in an uncertain tone, but the facts are the facts, and there is no uncertainty at all," I think this is what General Lance is preparing. Zach sighed, "A well-known general in the Commonwealth may be planning to run away with his family while he is ruined." β
Zach waited for a moment, trying to hear Root's response from the earpiece. Whether he said it right or wrong, Root should have heard back, shouldn't he?
Didn't wait. Zach didn't care and continued, "If a general really runs away with his family like this." Zach tilted his head, didn't expect a proper evaluation, waved his hand, and skipped it, "I guess, you won't allow this to happen, the impact on western society, no good." If I'm not mistaken, General Lance is also going to be Lesenbra in the future, right, you probably still like this human, right?"
On the other side of the earpiece, even the sound of heartbeat is very subtle.
Zach wasn't prepared to wait, "Tsmich won't and can't protect the general, you, yes, because you're Lesenbra, you can do anything." Zach didn't taunt the other party, he said it very sincerely. As for how to understand the earpiece, heh, whatever.
"I think that's your bargaining chip to coerce James, and James is plotting against me and putting me in the media, and you're going to save James's father. "Zach is done. Holding the earpiece and waiting for Root's evaluation.
Wait, wait, "My father, I have something to talk to my father." "Heh, I'm looking for my dad again.
Zach apologized again, "I'm sorry, but your father and Louise went on a spring outing. Zach took the earpiece and spun around into the air, so that Rute on the other side of the earpiece could hear the voice outside the Grande, "Did you hear that? The current Grande environment is very unfriendly to vampires." β
There was silence again on the other side of the earpiece.
Zach didn't have any emotions to accompany Lute for a quiet period of time, anyway, the phone bill was not out of Zack, and Zach didn't care.
But what Zach was thinking about actually had something to do with the call. It's about James. Zach's restoration of 'James was coerced by Rutt to plot against himself' is what Zach really thinks. But there is no need to hypocritically say that Zach understood James's behavior, but Zach did not, 'understanding a person' and 'knowing the logic of a person's behavior' are two different things. Illustration of examples? uh
We can know how long it takes for Xiao Ming to catch up with Xiao Gang, who is also traveling at a constant speed, when he sets off from home at a constant speed every morning. But we can never understand why Xiao Ming is chasing Xiao Gang, can we?
In Zach's assessment, James is just doing Jacomesian stupidity again.
He didn't come to talk to Zach about how to resolve his father's crisis.
Speaking of which, Zach is the most aggrieved one. Isn't it? Zach has already suppressed Kate's intention to destroy General Lance for James! As long as James comes to Zack, he will feel Zack's good intentions! Affection, love, friendship, as long as James comes to Zack, James is a winner in life.
But James didn't! This guy was actually bewitched by Root!
If James comes, Zach will tell James very clearly that Rout will definitely play with you, and the promise of Root to protect General Lance is likely to terminate the definition of 'General Lance' in human society ahead of schedule and turn General Lance into a vampire......
"You're right. After a long silence, the receiver suddenly spoke, "Then I won't go around in circles with you, I'm calling you now because I plan to give up Lance and give him to the ancestor of Tsmich and become the second generation of Tsmich......"
It's worth a roll of the eyes from all of us, Zach, right again.
"First, it can fill the vacant seat of the second generation of Tsmich, and second, I am ready to rely on this to keep the Tsmich ancestor, what do you think?" Root seemed to have adjusted his mood and was asking Zach for advice.
Zach frowned, "Has Tsmich arrived?" β
"It's been a few days. "As soon as you arrived in Vega, you were taken by Giovanni to live in your villa, and Cappadocia was very active in visiting Tsmich's messenger, saying that he was consulting about the situation in the northern country. β
Since Rout wanted to pretend to be casual, Zach cooperated, "Oh, sad. Now it's disgusting that Rut said deliberately, "No one visited me when I lived there." I'm gone, so lively. β
The devil knows what's going on over there, but Zach heard something breaking anyway, and Rout continued, "You haven't responded to my offer yet." β
"Let General Lance become Tsmish?" Zach was already thinking when the other party spoke, "It's not good, let the military become Tsmitch, instead of asking my opinion, it is better to ask Giovanni and Cappadoci for their opinion, after all, they are going to take over the original Tsmich's industry." β
Rout seemed to give up, "Hmph, why bother, isn't it more direct to ask you." β
Zach also feigned a panicked tone, "Are you implying that I'm controlling Giovanni and Cappadocia?
Zach performed, and succeeded in silence on the earpiece again. After the silence, it was, "Then I'll take your acquiescence when you have no opinion." β
Zach frowned, here must be praised Root, he turned Zack's prevarication into acquiescence, and in the future, when Giovanni and Cappadocia troubled Tsmich once again appeared in the second generation of Tsmig, who was close to the military, it would be strange ...... Don't say it's weird, the degree is lighter, and the unpleasant one will be Zach's failure to stop it at this time.
Zach was distracted again as the answering machine began to spin and someone called Grande again.
Zach was a little wary, "Do you have anything else to say, if not, I have a new phone." "Every phone call Root has made to Grande lately, it's actually been a pattern. In our opinion, it may seem like Rout is specifically informing Zack of something, but in fact, Rout is constantly reiterating a fact that makes Zack a little helpless: 'What happened in my (Root's) territory, you can only listen. β
Although Zach didn't let Root take advantage of it every time, whether it was acting or dialogue skills, this kind of thing kept repeating, and Zach was quite speechless.
Thanks to Root, Zack's brain was back spinning normally, and Zach didn't want to continue the call.
Rout was silent on the side of the earpiece for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth a little inexplicably, "Although we know each other and hate each other, the interests of the Demon Banquet are all in our highest position. Pause, "Can I count on that?" β
It's a question that Zach can't answer honestly, because the answer, heh, no. The benefits of the Demon Feast can only be ranked last on Zack's list of concerns.
But it was Root who suddenly asked such a question at this time, which made Zach feel a little sympathetic. Putting aside the ...... 'pitfalls' that have been accumulating between Zach and Root, Root is actually a really good leader.
Zach replied, yes, very ...... Artistry, "Now that the middle is already integrating the hidden orphans, do you still only look at the interests of the Demon Feast?" "Use real feelings, and real events, well, just said, artistic.
"You just can't help but show off your Toledo eyes, right?"
"Isn't that why you call me 'brother' even if you go against your will, Toledo's eyes. "Art.
"Hmph. "Don't say goodbye, hang up.
Zack pouted and put down the earpiece, personified in response to the situation, breathed a sigh of relief, and hid a big hole.
Seeing the end of the rotation of the answering machine, Zach directly pressed play.
"Zach. Louise's voice, "We're here in Newton now~" Louise's mood sounded good, "Hehe, I said I don't know where we're going to swim~" The process of the spring outing should be quite smooth...... "Newton seems to have a big accident here, well" Elongated is uncertain, "We're now preparing to find Refro in Newton, Frank leads the team, you don't have to worry~ Oh yes, Hannah is with us, I'll talk to you after I have a good time with Lef." But her brother is going to Grande to see his father's grave, and you can take it. Well, that's it, no need to go back, the public phone ......" and the background tone, Frank's voice, "We don't know when we'll be able to go back." Then Louise added, "Also, we don't know when we'll be back." And, to the people around you, "Is there anything else?"
There really is. The message changed to Miley's voice, "I don't care what you plan to do to James, just a little, let him live, this man is still useful to us." β
Zach pursed his lips and left a message back to Louise's voice, "It's gone~" hung up.
