Very early, estimated to be only 5 a.m., two things happened. in first-come-first-served order.

Mr. Pixar's pick-up and Zack, who continued to read the police report after being picked up by Blake, was interrupted by the phone.

Everyone knows what it is like to be in this kind of funeral house, which is almost a suburban funeral home, and the telephone rings constantly in the silent moment when the sun has not yet appeared, and there is no moon or stars, and the sky is full of snow. And Zach also deliberately made the phone ring for nearly 3 minutes - no matter who it was, calling at this time was uneducated, and Zach didn't want to answer. Until James jumped out of bed and forced Zach to answer the phone with a criminal face.

Zach went to answer, but the phone didn't ring, it turned into an impatient message, "Tsk, what are you doing! It doesn't matter, 7 o'clock in the morning, Yuri Hotel, I treat you to breakfast, don't be late!"

Yes, Aethera. So this message is incomprehensible to Zach in all its senses.

The second piece.

Or a phone. Only this time, the moment the first scale of the bell appeared, Zach picked up the phone.

"I'm looking at a departing freighter right now, should I jump on it and go back to Barton~" Eli Torredo.

Surprise, Zach frowned, "What time is it over there?" Eli doesn't have the ability to walk day.

"Hehe, do you care about me~"

"Just when I'm curious. ”

"Heh, don't worry about me, I'm safe. But you, do you want to explain why Arthur missed a contact with me?Hehe, you'd better answer well, I waited until the freighter going to the Federation was about to depart, and then I called you~" This is a threat, "If I hear the slightest hint of what I think is Torrey's multi-style concealment, lie, or misinterpretation, I will get on board~"

Changing the fate of the four centuries ago, Zach got the taunts and threats of yin and yang.

"Arthur was taken to Allen's funeral home by Hamilton. Zach didn't have a choice.

"Arthur, captured by the Demon Feast?" Eli on the other side of the earpiece finally abandoned the yin and yang weirdness, "You'd better not play with me." ”

"I didn't. Zach said in a calm tone, "If you don't believe me, get on the boat and confirm for yourself." Seal Arthur's fate, ruin my plans, unravel the situation I have carefully created, and wipe out all possibilities for Toredo's continued existence in the Federation, so that you and I will be hunted down to death by the Feast at the same time. "That's fine.

There was silence on the other side of the earpiece for a moment, "I trust you." You can hear the surprising sincerity, "Then do you have a plan to save Arthur?" ”

Zach could say yes, but, "No, I don't even know why Arthur was taken away right now." It was a sincere response to the unexpected. It's hilarious to backfire.

It's okay, "Tsk." You don't have to be so honest. Forget it, hehe~" Back to the disgusting way of speaking with a raised tail, "You're my 'perfect Toledo'~ You'll figure it out~ Now~ I need Barton's intel ~ Help me ~ My Zach ~"

"You can wait. Wait until I get Arthur back. ”

"I can't wait~" Eli seemed to be licking something, and his slippery voice was uncomfortable, "I have Fan Zhuo chasing me every day to ask the question of the corpse of the Easy Walker (Mind Reader Morilin sent the Easy Walker who was fixed in the form of Zack to the Republic according to Zack's order. I have an angel named Kesdir who won't shut up and talk to me about the situation of the saints~ Ha, occasionally, I'm approached by a kid named Ian to talk about something interesting about you~ I need something to distract these in-demand guys~"

"Sounds like you're very welcome. Zach pouted briefly.

"It's a drop ~ very, very popular ~ thanks to you ~"

Zach pouted again, "Still, it's a fool's stupid move to contact me directly. You can't let those republicans know that you have direct contact with me. Eli, I'm not kidding you, if one day, I get a call from any member of the Hidden Alliance, I promise, without you coming back to the Federation, I'll go over and end our four centuries of 'friendship'. ”

At this point, it may be necessary to pause for a moment and ask everyone to consider a question.

We all know that when Zach joins the Feast, he is actually playing with the Feast. So, is it possible that Zach is willing to return to the Hidden Alliance under the pretext of playing with the Hidden Alliance? This is what Zach mentioned now, receiving direct contact from the members of the Hidden Alliance in the Republic.

The answer is, no.

The Demon Feast and the Secret are a group of vampires divided by different philosophies. Forget it, not to mention such a tall thing as the idea, it is interests. The Demon Feast is for the reward of the Holy Lord, and the secret is the possibility of realizing what a new nation means.

Enemy? yes, but is it an absolute enemy? Heh, don't pretend to be naïve at such times. What is an absolute enemy of what is related to interests.

But. What is the Secret Alliance to Zack? a murderer who has no room for turnaround. This is an absolute fact.

Don't put the Fanzhuo gang and the Mokawi, Gangero, and Reimer in Barton together, we all know that these clans were the marginal clans when Toredo was surrounded and suppressed, for them, Zack only has the helplessness of insiders to outsiders, remember, how sad Zack was by Eve's evaluation of Toledo several times. As for Nofila, it was the clan that had been helping Toredo, but it was not strong enough and only saved Zack.

In addition, the Covert Alliance, it can be said without hesitation, that it is Zach's enemy.

If because of Eli, Zack's enemies are refounded. Zach doesn't mind saying goodbye to Eli again.

"Hehe~ I'm not that stupid~ Have you not seen me for a while, and forgotten that I'm actually a selfish guy~" Uh, the person who sold his 'friend' to change his job is also so selfish that there is nothing to say, "I won't be so stupid to contact you directly with the Hidden Alliance...... No, ha, any chance for a republican force~ This is mine, hehe, I am in the republic, the foundation of this chaotic force~ Hehehehe-"This laughter is so long, "History is so similar~You~My dear Zachary~ You have once again become the capital I can buy and sell for profit~"

It's not that Eli forgot how stupid he was when he sold Zach last time, but he knew that this time he wasn't selling Zach himself, it was the information that Zach was able to give him. It's still a bit different.

"You can enjoy your popularity as much as you like. Zach shook his head, and now he didn't seem to have much to say about this guy, "Just remember, be careful, you've never really been Toredo, don't think of yourself as me, play yourself to death." "I don't need to explain, it's not that Zach cares about Eli's life.

There was a stoic laugh on the other side of the earpiece.

Zach frowned, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"No, no, no~ I won't tell you~ it's a secret~" uh, an uncomfortable slippery tone, "But don't worry~ I'm not you, I know this~ But I'm going to mix very well here~ Back to the point, this phone call has been long enough, I don't have much time, don't forget that I'm very popular, and I can be approached by those 'enthusiastic' republican forces at any time." I need information, Barton's information, give me this information. I don't care where you get someone to send me a message, but get me a replacement before Arthur returns......"

Zach heard it very clearly, Eli's seriousness in the second half of the words. Although he understood the seriousness, Zach was not ready to accept the 'secret', and interrupted, "Did you mention Ian just now?" In the context just now, Eli mentioned that Ian should only be 'welcoming' his power in the republic, but Zack's sensitivity to details can be underestimated, he is Torredo, this is his proud ability, "Is Zager there for you?" Zager, who was taken away by Papa Midnight in front of Oz, isn't it, "That's why you're confident? You have another me by your side?"

Utter silence appeared on the earpiece.

And then—

"It's boring to talk to you. "This, that's an acknowledgement?

"Ugh. Zach held the earpiece and reluctantly changed positions in his seat, "I don't know what to say, I'm a lot more relieved if Zagger is here." Zach's confidence, there's nothing to say, "But, hehe, Eli, you know what Papa Midnight is, accept his help, you've become his test animal." "It's not symbolic to say that Eli will be toyed with by Papa Midnight, just like he toyed with Zach at Barton. Rather, it literally tests animals. Papa Midnight wanted to study Eli Toredo, and he didn't forget it.

"It's still in my range of acceptance. "But can you stop going off topic, I don't have time to catch up with you." Give me someone to send a message, 5 hours later, call this number, xxx......"

From the threat, to the impatience to hang up. He was in control of the rhythm of the dialogue the whole time, and he could be so embarrassed.

Zach interrupted again, and "xxx ......" also reported the call, "You call yourself, at any time, I don't care." ”

"Whose number is this?"

"Quinn Manor. Zach has no intention of continuing to ramble with Eli, "Mrs. Quinn's relationship with Mr. Pine has been confirmed. "At Riley and Bishop's wedding, Mrs. Quinn took Mr. Pine with her, do you need any proof? Based on what happened to Eli while he was still at Barton, Zach didn't want to introduce more, "Mr. Pine's son, Nate, is your descendant who is still alive at Barton besides Arthur. As a pawn who was thought to be under his control by Quinn, Smith, and Darcy at the same time, this replacement for Arthur will satisfy you. ”

Eli on the other side of the earpiece seemed to be thinking, and Zach wasn't ready to wait, "Say hello to Zagger on my behalf." "Ready to hang up.

"Number one more ......"

Zach has hung up. I really didn't hear it clearly, Eli could have asked Papa Midnight anyway. Zack's malice, anytime, anywhere.

Two things are over. Zach glanced at the time, and at 7 o'clock Aethra's breakfast appointment, let's go. If this woman doesn't pay attention to it, I don't know if one day it will be me who is unlucky-

Guess what if Ethella wore silver jewelry and came to Grande, Zack's house, and mocked Zach for losing his place in his home because of the halfway house project she led. Zach was not well-educated enough at that time to perform the etiquette of the host and guest.

Hehe, don't you think the timing is really wonderful, yesterday Anthony ran to Grande angrily, and then left angrily, and this woman called early this morning.

With some time to pass the time, Zach prepared to go back to the master bedroom to continue reading the police papers.

Before being interrupted by these two events, Zach was reading Curson's report. The content is that Cousson accepted Zach's suggestion and went to the southeast to inquire about the 'General'.

The content is a bit lengthy, apparently because Corson secretly turned on the recording equipment and rewrote it afterwards, and in many places there are notes that the recording is not clear and guessed.

There is no need to study this kind of police-bandit interaction. The one James brought back was clearly the original, with annotations from James, Curson, and even Weiss, indicating which of the words of the 'General' in the official report could and could not be kept.

It's actually these annotations that Zach is mainly looking at, which is quite interesting-

Original: Me (Cowson), "So you have no idea what your subordinate was in charge of at the time in Aix Security?"

'General', "Why do I know? He walks out of Aix security every day after work, and then crosses two intersections and comes to me for a drink and tells me what he did today? Do you think I'm stupid? This is an espionage operation! Lao Tzu is going to kill Aix! Lao Tzu is so careless??"

Comments:

I don't want the 'General' to go to jail! These gang bosses in the Southeast, even the last Sgaugh was stabbed to death in prison! I can't let the 'General' go to jail too!

James's—keep! He's your informant! Not your friend! If he's stabbed to death in prison, he's deserved!

Wes - Backed up but deleted in the official report, Jaime is right, he's your informant, and you should have the information to control him in the future. This backup is likely to be used in the future. Then, Jaime ***** (blacked out) forget it.

As mentioned above, although Zach looks quite pitiful when he reads the police documents in the dark, in fact, Zach is quite happy.

Zach is now ready to continue the joy.

As soon as he got up to leave the office, the Great Dane stood in the doorway.

Zach blinked and touched his nose, "Sorry, I forgot, you also want to know about the situation on the Republican side." "It's not Zach's fault, Eli's call came too suddenly. Arthur kept his contact with Eli very secretive, remembering that the first contact was when Louise was speechless. Zach couldn't have been prepared for Eli to call because Arthur hadn't been contacted.

The Great Dane was expressionless and looked at Zack.

Zach pursed his lips, "But he didn't say much about the republic. "It's a defense of himself," he won't tell me either. ”

The Great Dane is still expressionless.

Zach frowned and thought for a while, "So, in this way, do you want to go and see the person who raised you for a while at the beginning of the year?"

Who at the beginning of the year, at Quinn Manor, maded Pochi Quinin?

The Great Dane reacted, turned around simply, and shook his ass out of Zach's way. It's really straightforward.
