"Alice......" Zach leaned on the roof of the little pink car, looked at Alice in the car, and still didn't say anything, "Stay safe." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Alice smiled, started the car, drove out of Grande, and went to school.

Maya smiled on the back porch, "I didn't expect you to have such a reserved time." ”

Without Maya's preparation, Zach didn't talk to Alice about their 'girls' business, so that's it.

Zach pursed his lips, returned to the back porch, and looked at Maya a little helplessly, "But you have to promise me that if anything happens to Cuisha in the future, tell me as soon as possible, don't let Alice and Lola be in danger!"

"I, try my best~" Maya tilted her head, her tone was a little, well, special, "But I don't follow them all the time, I can only do my best......"

Zach knew what Maya was trying to say, so he simply said, "Do you want to go to school?" with Alice. ”

"That's the best~" Maya smiled and raised her eyebrows.

"Maya, I'm not your guardian, you're just a guest of Grande. You should know what kind of work you need to do if you want to go to school. ”

This is what Zach usually observed of Maya:

I don't know if you still remember, Maya has already shown her position as a black witch, and she is the main attacker like Hundred Shadows. In the Black Witch's matchset, she also lacks a partner for primary defense. Just like Ryan's malicious judgment, the Banshees see the deaths of others, and the lack of security in their own security will drive them crazy sooner or later. Maya also lacked a partner who would make her feel safe.

The same goes for Grande's sister. Although it will make Zach sad, but the truth is that the cheerful Alice, Grande can provide her with less and less. The most obvious manifestation is that Alice has been under the influence of Lola, and feels that there are some things that don't need to be told to Zack, and the girl who used to have to confirm with Zack that two or three changes is no longer there......

Maya came to Grande and said that she had come to see Alice, and she was curious about Alice's experience, which was completely different from her Maya's. Now, supposedly, she has seen the life of an ordinary high school girl, but Maya is still in Grande. Zach didn't think that he was too attractive, and the only reason Maya was still in Grande was that she had more personal thoughts about Alice.

Maya tilted her head, "Well, my legal guardians are Yuehua and Baiying. But now that they're settled in Newton, I don't think they're going to school in Newton~" She looked at Zach, "I need a, well, a stable family environment, a provider, a contact, so that I can go to school here, in Barton, in Reipter~"

Zach waved his hand, "Whatever, let Yuehua Baiying prepare the formalities, and Grande will be your stable environment." ”

"Really?" Maya raised her eyebrows, and actually jumped up to Zack's side, grabbed Zack's arm and began to shake, "Then if Yuehua Baiying doesn't agree, will you help me convince me?"

Zach looked at his shaking hand, frowned, and pulled it back, "Who did you learn it from?"

"Kepler, she's been using this method to get rid of her driver, well, and occasionally her father Smith~" Maya was honest and continued to stare at Zach, "Is it useful?"

"Nope. Zach pursed his lips, what he really cared about was not this, but, "You said that Yuehua Hundred Shadows would not agree?"

"Well—I don't know, I haven't asked them yet. Maya's face pondered, "But I think they might refuse." After a slight pause, "You probably don't know how highly they thought of the way you Grande educated Alice when they were in Salem......

Zach touched his chin, is this a mockery, to be honest, since Alice began to change, Zach has been constantly accepting the failure of his own education, how can he have a high evaluation.

"They had a heated argument with the committee (Salem) over whether they should request to receive Alice for a formal education in the Black Witch......"

Well, that's something Zach doesn't know. Our vampire raised an eyebrow, ready to listen.

Yuehua and Baiying insist that Alice belongs to Grande, and that she has a complete family, not someone who has been abandoned by her family. Salem's claim that he is a Black Witch organization and even if he only asks Grande is an insult to Toredo and Alice herself. That's why I'm more curious about Alice and you, and during that time, I asked Yuehua Baiying to talk about Alice every day. ”

Zach opened his mouth, with mixed feelings, but he probably understood what Maya meant, "Do you think that if you selfishly want to be a partner with Alice, you are pulling Alice into the Black Witch Collective, which is disrespectful to Grande?"

Maya nodded, with a look of disappointment on her face, "I probably shouldn't have been so honest with you, and now that you know I'm going to be disrespectful to you, you probably won't agree." ”

Belch.

Zach shook his head and thought for a moment, "Do what you want, I don't think it's disrespectful, it's disrespectful not to give the right to choose." But you have to be clear, no matter what you think of Alice, how Moonlight Hundred Shadows thinks of Alice and Grande's relationship, and even the entire Black Witch's opinion, it is Alice herself who makes the final decision. ”

Maya raised her eyebrows, something flashed in her eyes, and after a while, a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded, "Then can I quote your words, when I was talking to Yuehua Baiying?"

Zach waved his hand, "Whatever." ”

Maya smiled and ran to the phone in the exhibition hall, and the girl didn't waste any time at all.

Zach went into the house and prepared to go to the office. Anthony made an appointment last night to call Zack this morning - yesterday after returning from Fisher Manor, Zach went directly to the Upper North District, Anthony's house, and after saying what to say, Anthony asked Zach to go back, and after thinking about it for a night, he waited for him to call this morning.

Passing through the dining room, Old Hank blocked Zack's path with his unfinished breakfast, and the two gray eyebrows, which had never been trimmed, twisted and squeezed into the middle. That terrible face glared at Zack.

"What. Zach pursed his lips.

Syllable!

The newspaper in Old Hank's hand was photographed on Zack's chest.

"Huh!!" Old Hank turned and went back to the dining room.

Zach pressed the newspaper on his chest and picked it up with a pursed mouth, the layout had been turned over by Old Hank, Barton Daily, People Edition.

Usually, this page is full of reports that show the beauty of society, for example, some time ago, the surgeon who successfully performed a serial transplant operation, I still remember that the title of that time was "Barton's Light - Remembering the Mercy Hospital XX......

But now, just by reading that headline, Zach doesn't think it's a good story -- "The Speculator of the System—The Master of Grande's Funeral Home."

Of course, journalist 'Kate XX'.

Reason is telling Zach not to look, but, after all, vampires have human skins, and inside, they are not completely separated from that bit of human heart. Zach watched while telling himself not to look. Still going upstairs on the side.

The center of the field of view is the '...... Zachary Grande looked down on the chaos of the funeral industry from above, and he smiled, showing off to the author...... which completely describes the 'facts'. On the outer edge of the field of vision is Louise in formal wear coming down the stairs.

"Are you going out?" Zach asked, taking his time and closing the newspaper first.

"Yes. Louise was putting a notebook, Mother Teresa's diary, in her bag, "I'm going to see Susan at the sanitarium." The contents of this diary should make her feel better. He smiled and took out the thermos flask in his bag, "Just send Benjamin something." ”

Zach will put a wine bottle on his body, and Louise will put a thermos bottle on his body, a small difference between men and women. So Louise didn't send something to Benjamin, I'm afraid she was asked by Benjamin to send something to Mokave.

Hey, Zach had nothing to say, "Do you need Danny to accompany you?"

"Hehe, no, don't worry, Benjamin is there, I'm safe. Louise let Zach go straight down to the basement and put on a thermos.

Zach nodded, there was nothing more to explain, and continued upstairs, while continuing to open the newspaper with his hands in his hand.

Anyone who thinks that words cannot be used as weapons is someone who has not been hurt by words and has no concept yet. They can try to offend a journalist, get attacked in a newspaper with almost 90 percent of the city's market share, and get a feel for what Zach feels like right now.

The staircase, which usually takes only a few steps, now seemed to be extended indefinitely, and Zach moved up little by little like a turtle......

"All you have to do is speak. I don't know when, Sam stuck behind Zach, "I made this reporter pay." ”

Zach looked away, '......* He didn't even hire a lawyer! He didn't even bother to answer the judge's questions!* The owner of Allen's funeral home, Mr. Allen, as he recalled that he had sued ......Grande for being threatened by Grande, looked away at Sem, "At what cost?"

"Whatever you want? Anything. Sem looked calm, "I can put her soul into a pig's body and make her body your plaything......"

Louise, who came out of the basement, glanced up the stairs with a strange expression. Sem frowned and changed to another one, "I can pollute her spirit and make her live like a ninety-year-old woman." I can plant a curse on her and make her grow something that shouldn't be on her......"

Louise walked away with an eyebrow raised, a little quick.

Sem said a bunch of things that were really hard to repeat, and Zack stopped him, "Go to breakfast, Sam." ”

"As long as you open your mouth, I have sat on this kind of thing countless times, clean, no one will find out, as long as you open ......"

"Breakfast. Sam. Zach didn't want to comment, God knows what Sem did when he was serving Alpha.

Sam pouted, still disobediently going to breakfast, "I'm going to go to Steve Walker after that." ”

"Yes. Zach replied dryly.

The corners of Sem's eyes twitched, "I don't need identity, I've never been, it's good to live, I don't need to." ”

"It doesn't matter if you need it or not. Zach shook his head, "Steve is an Indian, and he is willing to make a deal with you, which means that Sbella really forgives you." ”

"I don't need Sibella's forgiveness, it's enough to give her back the things, if she is so careful and continues to encourage the Indians to reject Grande, we don't need her, I'm better than her, I'm ......"

Zach looked at Sam expressionlessly, and only then did he shut up automatically and then turned his eyes away and continued upstairs.

Sem stood on the stairs, not knowing what was going on, and went down without speaking.

Zach could continue to be quietly attacked by words......

Jingle bell bell bell.

The phone in the office rang, and Zach naturally thought it was Anthony who had made an appointment, closed the newspaper, and with a bang, disappeared on the stairs.

The newspaper was put aside, and Zach, who was sitting behind his desk, adjusted his comfortable posture and picked up the phone.

"Zach. The deep old woman's voice was not Anthony, but Mrs. Quinn, "Have you seen today's paper?" ”

Surprised, and inexplicably relieved, Zach glanced at the newspaper in his hand and said in a tone with a relaxed smile, "I'm reading." ”

"You can sue her, you know. Mrs. Quinn's voice was also quite calm, even with the low voice of a freshly awakened cry, accompanied by the faint sound of drinking coffee.

"Hehe, no, it's just a report. ”

"Yes. Mrs. Quinn also took the time to instruct the servant, 'too bitter,' and continued to the earpiece, "but it will be bad for you, and it will be bad for Grande." ”

"I know. Zach raised an eyebrow, "already glared at old Hank." ”

"Hmph. It's good that Grande still has sensible people. Mrs. Quinn seemed satisfied this time, and a gulping sound came from the earpiece, "So, what are you going to do?, a little advice, don't let her disappear, and don't go crazy like that of Ethella's men, Susan." The impact will only get worse. 'Extremely selfish and vindictive people', hmph, she really dared to write. ”

"I'm not going to do anything. Zach replied with a smile.

There was silence for a moment on the other side of the earpiece, and when he spoke again, "You know, the impact on Grande's reputation will also affect you, and I quote 'the city policy that made Grande', and affect your mayor's friend." You should understand that during the election campaign, this is very bad for your friends. Then, for the Quin family, it is very bad. "Quinn is a clear supporter of Anthony, a veteran, and I haven't forgotten it.

"I know. Zach nodded at the receiver and looked at the answering machine that had already begun to turn, which was a sign that a new phone had come in, "I happened to talk to the mayor about the recent events, and I think it would be better to listen to the mayor's opinion first." ”

Naturally, Zach thought that the new call was Anthony's.

"Well, you can do whatever you want, heh, you have that ability anyway. Mrs. Quinn was ready to hang up, "It's okay, hang up." "It's very tight," Poch complained yesterday that his and Muen's things were missing and stolen, and you wouldn't happen to know something. ”

At Zack's orders, Sam returned Sbella's belongings. Oh, Zack's order didn't say that Pochi's things should be returned.

"Is there anything important to the Quinns?" Zach asked.

"Hmph, it's not. Hung up. "This time it's really hanging.

Zach also turned on the answering machine directly.

It's not Anthony, it's James, "What did you do again!!!...... Uh, **!!!" (To be continued.) )
