Worship was going on inside Mary's Chapel, but the back rows of chairs were almost empty as they had gone outside to watch the press conference.

It's not a formal press conference, it's more a group of reporters 'coincidentally' met the mayor of the city outside Mary's Church, and then, "Mayor Yo ~ See these microphones and cameras ~ Talk to us grassroots people about what they've been doing lately~"

Sorry, I can't take it seriously. This kind of theater, which was initiated by Zach and then completely taken over by others, is not a bit of an ornamental experience for Zack.

So, while the reporters, Ethella, and Anthony were singing and harmonizing outside, Zach and Louise sat in the back row where no one was there to talk about more important things.

"...... you," Louise asked, uncertainly, "promised her to be Torredo?"

Zach looked at Louise with a disappointed expression, "Of course not." Why would you think I'm willing to turn Aethra into Torredo?"

Louise blinked, "Uh, I don't think you want to, I know you don't like this woman." However, I also think that you will be very objective and not let your personal feelings hinder your judgment, she is a very, well, 'strong' woman, and you have to be prompted. She's very good at what she does, politics, manipulation, this kind of thing. Everything she did at Barton, it was very, well, Torredo. ”

Zach continued with a disappointed face, "Really? do you really think she meets Toledo's standards?"

Louise was sharp enough, and she thought that if Zach was just swayed by personal emotions, she wouldn't continue to be disappointed in her statement. frowned and lowered his head to think seriously, but, to no avail. "I don't know. ”

Zach pursed his lips, "Okay." Zach, as the apex of Toredo, is about to define his clan, "Do you think that everything we do in Toredo is driven by a hunger for power?" ”

Louise glanced at Zach in surprise, and her clueless thinking had a direction, so she shook her head, "No." I didn't, or I would have been more like Susan, and I wouldn't have met you on the street. You didn't, or you wouldn't be Zachary Grande, and besides, you really don't care about the funeral industry at all. Moreover, you once said that at the time of the Hidden Alliance, although Toledo was a clan that formed the Hidden Alliance, he did not claim to be the leader and established a parliamentary system. Louise nodded, "I see, everything Aethra does is driven by a desire for power. And Toredo, Toledo......" Louise suddenly got stuck, looking at Zach in confusion, "uh...... What are we doing everything Toredo for?"

Zach glanced back at Louise and didn't answer the question. It's not that there is no answer to this question, but like any philosophical question like 'why am I born?' the answer makes sense, and the facts in the process are what really matter. Zach continued with Louise's words, "You mentioned the Hidden Alliance, and the Hidden Alliance also has clans that always emphasize their nobility. Zach gestured to the bag that was placed next to his seat, which contained the 'breakfast' given by Ethella.

"Do you think Athera is better suited to be Van Zhuo?" Louise raised an eyebrow.

"Nope. Athera climbed up from the bottom, and Vandra believed himself above all else in his bones. That's a big difference. Zach smiled, "Think outside of the Hidden Alliance." ”

"Demon Feast?" Louise thought for a moment, "You said that the Hidden Alliance has never had a real leader, and the corresponding Demon Feast has a very strict hierarchy system, and at the top, uh, Lesenbra. ”

Zach nodded. This is Zach expressing whether Aethra is better suited to be Lesembra. Just because of the obsession with power?

Louise didn't speak for a moment, but was thinking. She has a self-consciousness, she and Zach are the undoubted core of Toredo, Charlie and the 'General' can define the standard of their own bloodline at will, but she and Zach can't, Toledo is no longer a private matter for the two of them, and they have to start thinking about things as a clan unit. This whole conversation is Zach teaching her how to identify people who are qualified to inherit the Toledo line.

Zack's previous disappointment had also subsided, and he was satisfied with Louise's thoughts, "I told you just now, Susan has returned to Aethra to do things for her. ”

This is not a deliberate digression, but a reminder. The corners of Louise's mouth twitched, "I asked Susan what she was going to do, and she said she didn't know what she could do except go back to her old job. ”

"It's not very clean work, you think. ”

"Of course. But I guess she's used to this life of trading herself for secrets......" Louise digressed and looked at Zach, "If we're still the slightest bit suspicious of Ethella, we're going to warn Anthony to be careful." Athera is still married, and once the two of them are known by the media, it will be ......" Louise paused again.

This kind of thing often happens, when there are multiple parallel processes in the brain, some processes will always inexplicably squeeze themselves into the highest priority position-

"Secret!" Louise raised an eyebrow, looking at Zack, "You once commented that Aethera likes to use dirty methods to get to power, and dirty methods are like Susan's work! Acera relies on turning these dark secrets into a handle that she can grasp, and then reap the benefits!"

Zach was satisfied, "Have you seen me do anything like that?" ”

Louise pursed her lips, "No, you're very, uh, bright." But you're a man. ”

"It's true, but if you ask Eli, you know that there is still a market for me. Zach waved his hand, this boast didn't make him proud, it was better to get to the point early, "That's not the point, the point is that this is the key to Ethra's ability to be Toledo." Zach was serious, "She's smart enough, and she's good enough to recognize and manipulate situations, but her method is not Toredo." "Listen to Zach," Toredo said, using facts. We don't use the dirty secrets that should be buried in the dark, we observe the facts, we are in the facts, we interpret the facts on the other hand, we may create misunderstandings, illusions, but we always let the facts be on our side and become our advantage. Toledo is like a messenger of light, but, "There is a saying in mankind that history is always written by the victors." Wrong. History is always written by facts, and the key lies in the facts, which perspective the facts are. "If you need a definition of Toredo's clan, this is it, those thoughtful considerations, those interpretations of the facts at different entry points, and those opinions that are constantly created around them that are far from the truth, are just to make Toredo, Zachary Toredo, stand on the front of the facts in the eyes of all kinds of people!

Isn't that the case, how much panic Zach said, how many plays he acted, and how many people misled him into thinking that he had the truth. But, there is only one truth – Zach imprinted himself on the cover of the facts in the eyes of all these people.

Returning to Ethera, Zach is the first thing anyone can see when they pick up a book, and Ethra is a small note hidden in the gap between the pages.

Zach glanced at Louise, "Our eyes of charm give us the ability to completely subvert any fact. And then all the processes that we go through before we have to use this power are the processes in which we enjoy being alive. Can you keep up, we can't be proud of our eternal life, and then do everything with our eyes, and end up with boring three meals a day. What we can do is to make things more interesting, don't miss anything, experience anything, and live eternity to the fullest. Because we know that we will always have our eyes in the end, that, why, not to have some fun for ourselves. ”

Louise looked at Zach and felt that there was a lot of vampire wisdom to receive, but Louise said, "You have been exterminated." ”

Zach pouted, "It was an accident, the Alliance's Toledo trial was conducted with your eyes closed. It sounds like Zach is not ready to admit that his Toredo intelligence is fatally flawed, "And it turns out that Toredo is right, the times have made slavery history, and the Hidden Alliance has finally succumbed to the influence of the times, and their biggest mistake is to encircle and suppress Toredo." Toledo, still standing on the side of history, no, the right facts. ”

Louise pursed her lips, "Okay, I see." If Toredo had survived the events of the Hidden Alliance a century ago, we wouldn't have encountered it, and I have no position to judge the Toledo clan of the past. Let's move on to Aethra. So, do you think Aethra is a better fit for Lesenbra?"

"Yes. The use of secrets to gain an advantage is the style of Lesembra. Zach nodded, "Aethra uses the flesh of his men like Susan, and Lesenbra uses the information in the blood. And, the desire for power, Aethra and Lesembra are very compatible. And don't underestimate Hamilton just because we've been controlling him. Every decision he made to maintain Barton's status quo was the right one. Lesenbra's control over politics is no weaker than that of Torredo. Zach was helpless, "With the current hard power comparison between Toledo and Lesenbra, he is much higher than us. ”

Louise frowned, "You said earlier that you agreed to Ethella's request to become a vampire, but not Torredo, and then said so much to explain to me that she was suitable for Lesenbra. You're not trying to ......."

"Yes. Zach nodded, glancing at Jessica who was walking this way, knowing that he was about to end the conversation with Louise quickly, "I'm more of a member of the Devil's Feast now, and technically, I haven't done anything for the Devil's Feast yet." I must give the Feast some peace of mind. ”

"But won't that damage the relationship between Aethera and us when we finally cooperate, after all, we are not 'good partners' of the Demon Feast. Louise hesitated, "Aethra knows a lot of things, if she is given the opportunity to contact the Demon Feast, she will not betray Anthony, tell the Demon Feast that Anthony has secretly sabotaged the Demon Feast's plans. ”

"No, it won't. Zach shook his head, "You think highly of Ethella's character, don't forget that Liszt's support for her campaign was a plan for the Devil's Feast to use her to sabotage the Barton West End family." This woman. Zach looked at Louise, "Only if she takes advantage of other people's share, and the people who use her, she will hold a grudge for the rest of her life." If she had the heart to get in touch with the Feast, she would have gone to Allen's funeral home to find someone by herself, and don't ignore that this is a woman who even Papa would dare to find at midnight, and she doesn't need to tell me that she wants to be my descendant. ”

Louise pursed her lips, "Then she should hate you, hate Anthony." Now she's ...... Tut. Louise didn't want to mention it.

"It wasn't me and Anthony who made her lose everything four years ago. This must be made clear, "At the last minute, Anthony and I were helping her. We all thought that she and Anthony would be the couple who stood at the highest point of Barton's power. ”

Louise remembered that Ethera's campaign had always emphasized women's rights, and bowed her head, "I see, she lost to her own gender." ”

Zach didn't respond, Jessica sat down next to him, and started with the boring topic, "Why is Aethra's makeup only half worn outside to accompany Anthony to the interview?

The three people in the back row were silent for a while, listening to the interview outside the church door.

The story of the Newton Wanderers wandering to Barton and eventually dying has long been said, and Jessica has just led a few reporters to the back to interview other living Newton Wanderers, and now she is back. Outside interviews have begun to trend towards gossip -

"Ms. XX (Aysera), the people of Patton are delighted to see the two mayoral candidates looking at Patton's relationship with their neighbors. But, ma'am, you look a little haggard, will it have any effect on your family after the closure of the campaign office? Will you continue to run for election? How does your husband deal with the situation you are facing? After all, all your resources for your activities now seem to be drawn only from your family property. ”

Athera's reply, speaking slowly, only her voice and expression made up for herself, "Well, good question." Just allow me to lose my temper for a moment, and it all feels, hehe, like yesterday. I remember that four years ago, Anthony and I were interviewed like this, hehe, my dear Caesar will be next to me to ask when he will be able to return...... Ah, sorry, all of a sudden it became sentimental~ Back to your question. Well, I guess this is a very difficult time for him, after all, it's impossible for someone who hasn't been through all this to understand life like us. So ......"

Anthony interjected, "I remember the last time you mentioned that Caesar made a lot of friends after he transferred to Reipter, the Patton kids, the Smith kids, right. How is he doing, and is he still used to the school in the North End?"

"Oh, he's doing well. Yesterday I went to play with a group of friends, and I went out early today, hehe, I'm so proud of my son, he is everything in my life. "Everything, what about the husband in the hard times?

"You should be proud that you have been through all this and that you are still the good mother who loves her children. "Anthony's assist, husband, bye-bye.

"Hehe, thank you. ”

Ignoring the reporter's self, he began to chat. Well, the three people in the back row of the church didn't continue to listen, and Zach opened his mouth, "Let's take our time." ”

"I like this kind of plot~" Jessica, "This is the motivation for our demons to torture human souls whether they are in hell or outside hell~" Uh, ignore it, "That, Chapman said, you want to play the soul swelling case, the idea of binding the Demon Feast and Patton politics." Hehe, I agreed~"
