There is no doubt that the basis of Jason's honesty with Zach is his understanding of the relationship between vampires and the funeral industry - and not looking at who is now closely following the lead of Barton's funeral industry and privatizing it, it is the West, the stronghold of vampires. Vampires don't care about the premium, and when it's time for the insurance company to make a profit, it should.

However, Zach is not prepared to personally promote this insurance deal, "You go to Sissi and find someone, Frank Gilberg, and ask him to talk to Allen for funeral." ”

"The lord of Lesenbra?" Jason actually knew Frank's identity. Oh, it's not surprising. After all, he lived with Blake. But Jason doesn't care about a vampire ancestor, it's "me...... Don't want to see Gangero and the Saints. ”

Because of the relationship with the Fight Club.

"Don't be afraid, Sissi went to school, you can't see it even if you want to. Zach was encouraging, "Frank, as a vampire zenith, needs a little leverage when negotiating with the Saints, so you should do me a favor and send him over." ”

Jason looked lost.

Zach explained, "Who made you know that there are vampires in this world as a violent element that affects social stability?"

"Uh, Fight Club. ”

"Do the vampires of the Western Demon Feast represent social instability?"

"Probably not. ”

"Of course not, the Feast represents the ruling class of society. Unstable factors in society are antonyms. ”

"Oh......"

"So the Saints and Gangaro's fight club once gave some humans the impression that the Demon Feast would never accept the perception of vampires. You know what I mean. That's the leverage Frank can use. ”

"I still don't understand, but I'll just go find Frank, right? ”

"Yes~"

"And Mr. Ford?"

"I'll just talk about it. ”

Then go out.

At the main entrance where Jason walked, some reporters pleased him professionally and asked him what he was doing at Grande.

Jason has a very strict mouth, so don't worry about Zack. Zach disappeared after a circle around the Grande himself, heading to the North End to find Ford.

The process of moving is omitted. When Zach arrived at Ford's funeral, the air was filled with the smell of anxiety. It's not figurative, it's literal. Someone is being held at Ford's funeral.

Zach made a detour to avoid running into him as they waited for the cremation of his body to be completed. After going around to Ford's office, knock on the window.

Ford was at work, and every time Zach came here, he had a pile of papers on his desk. The whole Barton, and he alone, is really running the funeral home, which is worthy of admiration.

Ford glanced at Zach outside the window, pouted, got up and opened the window, and watched Zach turn into a gray shadow and stand in front of him, "Shouldn't you be at home and don't go out." ”

"I knew you would care about me~"

"Hmph, I didn't care about you. "After returning to his desk, probably on purpose, he found today's newspaper under a pile of papers and threw it in front of Zach.

It just so happened that Zach didn't read the newspaper today, picked it up, and sat down across from Ford.

Gossip news, which could only be ranked fourth yesterday, was put on the front page today - "Lance's Wedding?"

That's the title of the front page, which contains hello.

Zach flipped to the page and didn't have time to read it all, only the synopsis.

"The wedding date and guest list have been leaked?" Zach thought it was incredible, proposing on Saturday and sneaking away on Sunday's wedding.

But Zach knew the reason why this kind of gossip could be on the front page, and the leaked guest list of James Lance was too terrifying. Fifty years later, modern history textbooks can use this list as a catalog.

Zach pouted unhappily, "If everyone's enthusiasm for James and Kate is so high, Grande won't be able to live in the short term." ”

Ford didn't even bother to look at Zack, "Don't talk to me in a 'I seem to know what's going on' tone." I, and you, don't know each other at all. ”

Zach laughed, "You still know me better than ordinary people~" Teasing-Ford.

Ford snorted, knowing that he couldn't have said Zack, and looked too lazy to pay attention, "Say, what are you doing here?" I'll talk about it first, the cooperation with Detective Wes has ended, and the gang in the Xiaobai case has been arrested, and I have nothing more to tell you." ”

"It's not about Xiaobai's case~" Zach waved his hand, "It's about insurance for the funeral industry." ”

Ford's pen that had been writing something paused, frowned and looked up at Zack, "What's wrong with the insurance." ”

"Don't worry~" Zach knew that as long as it was about the topic of the funeral industry, Ford must immediately pay full attention, "Yesterday Allen asked me to help ask the reason why the insurance company has been delaying, and today someone came to Grande, and we talked about it." ”

Ford put down his work and looked forcibly patient, "So, what about the result?"

"Send someone to work on Allen's side. ”

Jason goes to Frank, and Frank can order Allen directly, so there's nothing wrong with Zach's words. Just Ford said that he and Zach "didn't know much of each other" and that he didn't need to know the details of what Zach did.

"I'm here for you. Zach smiled and showed that he was here.

"Do the work?" said Ford, "what kind of work!" The asset estimate was done, and the mill's financial problems were solved. "It's probably about the high price of resources and equipment used in the mill. Ford is also considered spiritual, "Isn't it true that insurance companies want to raise prices?"

"Yes~"

"I know!" Ford's upset thing was, "Who the would dare to take advantage of the funeral industry when the funeral industry belonged to the government!"

Zach was surprised by Ford's anger, because Ford was a staunch supporter of the privatization of funerals, remember, he once said to Zach that Ford's funeral home was his private property.

Those who cherish this idea should no longer be concerned about the benefits of the 'proletariat' in the past.

Ford was really spiritual, glancing at Zach, "I know what you're thinking!"

"What am I thinking?" Zach pretended not to think of anything.

"Hmph, pretend, you go ahead and pretend yours. "Tell me, how much does the insurance company have to raise?" and threw a calculator in front of Zach.

Zach clicked the number and handed it back to Ford.

Ford glanced at it, cleared, and said directly, "I can't afford this price." ”

Zach smiled helplessly, "This is the price set by the insurance company based on the asset estimate of Patton's funeral home." You can't afford it. ”

This is a patient who says to the doctor who has his medical records, "I'm healthy. ”

How much money Ford can come up with is very clear to insurance companies that fully understand the value of the assets here.

Ford didn't speak, and Zach waited helplessly for a while, then suddenly ...... He turned his head sideways, looked in the direction of the incineration room, and frowned.

Zach's sudden movement caused Ford to be dissatisfied, "Look at what to see." Still irritable, "I can't come up with this price anyway, if you're okay, ......"

Zach still looked in the direction of the incineration room, "Remains." "You'd better take a deep breath and listen to Zach again," the corpse that was taken out, replaced by the incineration of the heat, decomposed normally, and returned to the corpse. Zach used the vampire's sense of smell, to be precise, the vampire's alertness to the threat, judging the situation in the incineration room, "The corpse was loaded...... "turned back to look at Ford, full of doubts, "shifted." Ford's face changed from irritability to nervousness.

Zach stood up and looked out of the office to see Ford's staff, reporting the cremation process to the relatives of the deceased who were waiting.

Zach opened his mouth, "And the process of cremation is not over." Looking back at Ford, "What are you doing?"

Nervousness turned to nothing, and Ford stopped handling his work, leaning back in his office chair, holding his arms, and looking at Zach, "What do you think I've done?" ”

Zach frowned and looked in the direction of the incineration room again, the decaying corpse that posed a threat to the vampire had been completely transferred out of the incineration room, and Zach was now completely on his own senses, "Your employees are ...... Pouring into it...... Lime?" Zach was unsure, "Wait a minute. Zach pursed his mouth, took a deep breath, and felt the useless gas entering his body, "This is not the smell of the fuel used in cremation after burning, this is the ......" Zach was taking a puff, and he was helpless, "This is the smell of burning......"

But the conclusion was already there, and Zach looked back at Ford, who looked indifferent, "Are you cheating?"

Ford didn't answer, and shrugged his shoulders.

"What does that mean?" Zach frowned, the respect we had for Barton's only serious undertaker...... It's kind of feeding the pigs.

"Meaning, you still ask me meaning?" Ford mocked, "the meaning is that I'm just a human being, and my peers, hey, my competitors, aren't human." That's the meaning. ”

"So you lied at the final farewell ceremony of the human dead to this world?" Zach didn't respond to Ford's words at all, because Zack had already heard it, and remembered the moment when Ford first learned that Zach was a vampire. At that time, Zach, the fact that the near-death Ford had successfully returned to life diverted Ford's attention.

Now, Zach is ready to use the same trick. The thing used here to distract Ford is the conscience of humanity.

Because Ford is telling the truth, his peers and competitors are not human.

Zach failed.

Ford kept taunting, "You don't have to say that, I'm the one who died once, hmph, goodbye to the deceased, what a ridiculous thing." ”

Strictly speaking, Ford didn't really die. But that doesn't serve as an argument for Zach, who will only be ridiculed as childish quibble, "So you're completely turning your career into a play for the living." ”

Ford tilted his head sideways, looked out of the office, and the waiting family members, instead of answering Zach, asked, "Are you going to report me?" The owner of the Grande Funeral Home?"

Zach was thinking about where he could get in, "You should understand, even if the owners of Grande and Allen's funeral are not human, we don't mean to compete with you Ford. "The fact that peers are also competitors seems to be something that can be played.

With Zack's logic, get rid of the attributes of competitors, then everyone is a friendly peer, isn't it?

Ford didn't give Zach a chance, "Do you think I'm doing this to compete with you?" Zach laughed, "Hahaha, competition? I'm sorry, I want to live a little longer." Looking at Zach, he put away his smile and said in a serious, serious, heartfelt way, "I'm just keeping up." ”

After all, the human conscience is defeated by vanity and self-determination.

It seems that everything is clear about Ford as a person. Now that I think about it, an industry that relies on the interests of human death is really worth the planning benefits, design gimmicks, and filling processes that one person ponders day and night......

This vain self-motivation is called 'This is my career.'

Zach could only make a final attempt with the words of the panacea, "Even if it's not me, someone will expose you sooner or later." ”

"Do you think those people will check the composition of the ashes?" Ford pointed to the relatives of the deceased outside, "Hmph, they won't, they buy the 'Back to Nature Package'." "I don't know who I'm mocking," the final ceremony was arranged by my staff, who boarded the boat on the Paising River, scattered ashes along the way, and entered the port of Massa together to disembark. ”

Zach had nothing more to say.

Before Ford finished speaking, he was bound to taunt all the creatures living in this world, "As for the body that was removed halfway, hmph, it will be sold." Who will it be sold to, do you still need me to tell you? Ford laughed to himself again, afraid that Zach wouldn't be able to keep up, "Ghoul, I was really shocked when my employee (the dwarf) confessed to me, I didn't expect this kind of science fiction thing to really exist." "Slanted at Zach.

Whether it's Harrison or Zach, it's not something in science fiction, it's a documentary.

Zach frowned and was quiet for a while, then returned to Ford's desk in a ceremonial manner, picked up the calculator, pressed the insurance company's price again, and flipped it to Ford, "You can pay this price." ”

Ford frowned, probably not expecting Zach to suddenly return to the topic and prepare to speak.

Zucker's eyes were on Ford. A bud occupies Zack's black pupils, and the vivid red color proves that it is about to open.

Ford: "I said I couldn't afford ......"

The flowers began to bloom, and the curled petals occupied the pale green iris.

If Ford hadn't seen the flowers in Zack's eyes just now, it was impossible for him to ignore them now. Ford closed his mouth and frowned.

The red in Zack's eyes continued to bloom, and the stretched petals were eroding the whites of his eyes little by little.

Is it self-realization, or do I let you realize. People who are trying to follow the vampire crookedly, choose~

Ford chosen, gloomy, "I'm happy?!"

Zach wasn't happy. The moment the red flowers in his eyes withered, Zach had already crouched down on the window where he had just entered, turned into a gray shadow, and disappeared.
