10 Before dinner

When Zach returned, he found two wolves in his backyard, and instinctively needed to replenish his strength, only to find that two large jars of stored food in the basement were missing.

Louise was clearly still talking about work in the Church of the Holy Child, and Zach went to the warehouse to the south, and sure enough, Georgina was feasting.

"Don't ask me, ask your alpha friend to go!" said Georgina.

So, Zach looked at the two wolves in the backyard, the yellow-haired one was Matthew, who was clearly a wolf, a giant wolf that was abnormal in the eyes of ordinary people, but had a pair of puppy eyes, blinking, woo wow wow.

Hey, forget it.

"I want you to know what you're doing. Zach said to the black-and-brown oneβ€”Benjamin said.

"Let's go, Matthew, and inspect the woods. (Qualified alphas will inspect the woods where the entire population is about to move during the full moon cycle before the full moon cycle to prevent being targeted, such as the hunter's aconite trap.) It has been mentioned before. Benjamin didn't respond directly to Zack, but still spoke in his voice about the upcoming action, turning into a black-brown afterimage, with a yellowish glow, and disappeared into Grande, heading south.

"Hank. Zach stopped old Hank, who had come back from the cemetery, "When I submitted the information, they mentioned the license issued by the city government when the city government started the funeral business, do you know where to put it?"

"I don't remember, anyway, in your office, find it yourself!"

"And today Ford is here. Zach followed Hank, who was striding with his hands in hand, and judging by his direction, he should have gone directly to the kitchen to urge dinner. Now the old Hank's life is so regular that he eats, sleeps, and goes to the cemetery for a walk (to chat with someone)," he said, raising the issue of the inheritance of loyalty in the funeral industry in the future, especially in the current privatization environment. Well, I think you should think about that. ”

Zach's face was expressionless, "Me." I can't be here forever. ”

At the door of the restaurant, Old Hank stopped.

Did this topic come suddenly? No, vampires live forever, can Grande's master always be Zachary Grande? No way. When Alice reaches a certain stage of growth (juvenile to adulthood, and then enters a period of refreshment). The reference that can reflect the passage of time in the place of Grande will disappear, and even if the funeral home appears in people's field of vision, sooner or later, it will be found that the people in Grande will not grow old.

Old Hank lifted his steps again, "I don't care, I won't live to see when you leave anyway!"

Zach smiled and shook his head, "Hank, you're too modest, you'll live a long time." But you're right, that moment is still far away, and it's a bit early to discuss it. Zach continued, "But, Ford mentioned that the employees in the cemetery now came to work at Grande because of the transition and have no loyalty. Cultivating loyalty in a place like a funeral home still relies on the old way of having employees live here. During this time, you often talk to those people to pass the time, do you think they will stay in the future when Barton has a new development period and various job opportunities are abundant?"

Old Hank stopped again, staring at Ink and Alice busy in front of the desk, glancing at Zack, his face gloomy, "No, they will resign, no surprises!" and added, "Most of the topics we chatted about were their previous jobs, and although their current jobs were good, people in life always had strange looks." ”

"That's right. Zach was the one who ordered it consciously, and he came to the kitchen anyway and started peeling potatoes, "Sure enough, Ford is right, no matter how privatized, the grave keeper is still a not very glamorous job." ”

Seeing that lunch was being prepared in an orderly manner, Old Hank turned around and left with a calm face, he should have gone to the second floor to watch TV.

"Do you think Grande should follow Ford's advice and start building staff dormitories here to make some efforts to cultivate loyal employees in the future?" Zach asked, looking at the potatoes in his hand, as old Hank walked out of the kitchen.

Listen to Zach, what he's saying is that Grande needs to follow advice, not himself.

The vampire is the head of the family, and Grande is not suitable for ordinary people to live in, this should not need to be explained, so what does Zach want to ask? There is a difference.

Old Hank stopped again, and stood at the kitchen door for a long time. Maybe it's old, the breathing sound is super loud, exhale-exhale-inhale......

"Build!"

That's what decides.

Zach just raised his eyebrows, "Okay, it seems that I didn't lose Austin's business card in the first place. "Old Hank is gone.

"Za, Zack......" Alice said in a nervous voice.

"Don't worry. Zach smiled at Alice, "I can survive ten years with this look." "This is based on the experience of rotating as a former stealth alliance. From maturity to aging, this is the most stable stage of change in human appearance, and our vampires have gone through this rotation for an unknown number of times.

Picked up the second potato, and just after the knife was taken, the phone rang.

Zach wiped his hands, nodded to the two in the kitchen, and went to the office.

Picking up the phone, it was Mrs. Quinin, who was also the first to have the deepest friendship with Grande.

So it's straightforward, "I have a mandate and I need your help." ”

"Did you say it on the phone?" Zach glanced around the office, and came up anyway, looking for the license he had just mentioned to Old Hank, and his hand was rummaging through the drawerβ€”Austin's business card.

There was silence for a while on the earpiece, and then he answered the question, "According to your request, it is not a matter of interest first, a family matter." ”

Zach smiled, had already flipped through Austin's business card, took it in his hand and looked at it, "It doesn't matter, your West End people's family affairs will definitely affect the interests of the family." Hehe, I've almost discovered this truth. "Put it on the table, in the center, and remind yourself that the first thing I will do tomorrow is to call Austin.

"Honestly. Mrs. Quinn's voice was calm, "But anyway, I will support Anthony in this campaign, help Quinn's interests, and help your mayoral friend, you should be indifferent." ”

Isn't that too direct, but, heh, our vampires don't mind. Mrs. Quinn knows what Zach is and what Grande is, not directly. Speaking of which, Zach also has one more thing to be direct to Mrs. Quinn. It's just that Mrs. Quinn is right to someone, yes, it's Poch, Poch, who appears again as the second Boyson. Quinn's complicated emotions about his grandson made Zach never know how to bring it up, so he could only drag it.

Then it might as well be right now, "Lady Quinn, I have something I want to ...... to you."

"Not on the phone, dinner. Mrs. Quinn interrupted.

"Now?" Zach looked at the time, it was dinner time, now to the West End?Zach didn't even think about what Mrs. Quinn said next.

"Right now, it should be right there. "Pause," Poch. ”

Zach pursed his lips, "Poch's Grande." ”

"I know you probably have an opinion, so looking at the time, he should have almost arrived, so he called you to let you know. ”

Zach actually laughed, helplessly, "So I can't refuse, right." ”

"Yes. "Hey, it's still too direct," after the Boyson incident, I lifted Pochi's house arrest and released him, he ......"

"Ma'am. "It's just as direct, it can't be delayed, "Poch is not the Poch of the past, he ......"

It's a serial interruption, "I know, I can feel it." Then, let Zach have nothing more to say, "but he is Quinn's only heir, my grandson." His problem will be Quinn's problem, my problem, and now I have a problem, let him come to you for help, what are you going to do, master of Grande. ”

There is a fact, don't ignore it, Quinn helped Grande get rid of Boyson in the first place because Boyson threatened Porch's future, and Boyson used the plan Valmina to frame Popch, remember. Coupled with Mrs. Quinne's own mixed blood, she is steeped in the minority Indo-Ann tradition and the general culture of the Federation, and has long vaguely expressed a neutral tendency in the faith.

So, Mrs. Quinn probably really didn't care about anything else, what she cared about, as she just said, the problem of the sole heir, Pochi, was the problem of the Quinn family.

"I see. Zach nodded expressionlessly, "Then I'll be here, waiting for him, hoping he brings cash." Zach smiled, presumably livening up the atmosphere, "By the way, now Grande doesn't take checks." ”

"I know. Mrs. Quinn's tone was relaxed, and she was still worried that Zach would refuse directly, "I heard about the review of the funeral industry, and rest assured, he brought cash." ”

Hung up.

Why didn't Zach refuse? Quite simply, the new Poch was a must-see.

Mrs. Quinn was running out of time, and as soon as Zach got up from behind his desk and opened the curtains, a limousine stopped in the backyard.

Poki got out of the car with a bottle of wine, raised his eyes, looked at Zach behind the window, raised the bottle in his hand, and stepped into the Grande.

Pochi didn't go to the office, but went straight to the dining room, sat down directly in the first seat next to the main seat, and put down the bottle of wine as a souvenir. Looking at Maya, who was also waiting for dinner at the table, "What's your name, little banshee." ”

When we meet for the first time, it's already rude to call someone else's racial name, and it's also a 'little banshee'.

Maya glanced at Poki and turned her head sideways, "Pathetic fellow. ”

"That's a statement I'd like to know more about. Zach walked into the dining room and sat down in his seat. Dinner is still a little while, and now it's an appetizer, "How pathetic." ”

"It's not a purebred Indo. Maya seemed to be happy to discuss bad things about this guest with Grande host Zac, in front of the other party, "Relying on that little Indian blood, accept Papa's 'blessing' at midnight." "Sarcasm," you polluted your entire bloodline inheritance...... Maya shook her head, sure, "I don't think you have a chance of inheriting it now." ”

Zach raised an eyebrow at the corner of his mouth, "Are you saying that this Mr. Pochi Quin was castrated?" Yes, Zach deliberately used this kind of word, in front of someone.

It is worth mentioning that Maya does not go to school, and it is also a family education, so there is probably no so-called taboo in ordinary people, "That's what it means." In Salem, the seniors studied the witchcraft used by Papa Midnight, the way Papa Midnight changed and created races. He has a principle, any of his works, in the Indians, can be passed on, such as me, the banshee, such as the wizard talent. It is absolutely impossible for non-Indons to pass it on. ”

"It's a very good, strong one's own race. Zach actually nodded, and looked at Pochi with a pretended comfort, "Your Indian ancestry may be able to pass you on for generations." But strangely, Pochi kept smiling,

"No way. Maya concluded, "I can feel that the witchcraft in this half-breed is gathering in his present body at the expense of the inheritance of his future bloodline. He could not have offspring. It's even less likely that Papa Midnight would risk letting the abilities of the witchcraft faith fall into the blood of non-Indic people in the future hybrid lineage. Sneered, "Hmph, unless, you forcibly create a descendant and let it eat you, like the Alpha Inheritance." ”

Benjamin.

Zach smiled and answered, "But the werewolf is because of the use of the Holy Lord faith, the blood of the vampire Gangaro, mixed with the belief system, this kind of inheritance that is not Papa Midnight's wish appeared, isn't it?"

"Oh. "Maya is super cooperative," yes, I almost forgot, sure enough. Glancing at Pochi, who called himself a little banshee, "You're still castrated." ”

Pochi still smiled, "My physiology, very good, thank you for the care of the vampire and the little banshee." "Actually, the hand holding the bottle was full of green tendons, and pushed it towards Zack, "The gift of meeting again." It's an empty bottle. I thought you only needed a bottle, so I ...... "I came prepared."

"That's so sweet. Zach took the empty bottle, "Your senior, Boyson, also brought me wine. Herman's luncheon, "but he put 'Valmina' in it to frame me, and it left a lot of shadows on me." Hehe, you, really think about me, thank you. Holding the bottle in both hands, looking at the label and the vintage, "Nice bottle, I like it." ”

Belch.

Poki actually kept smiling, which was good, and after staying in a sanatorium for so long, plus house arrest, it was a bit of an improvement.

"I'm glad you mentioned the matter of the offspring. "Pochi is not going to continue to provoke the little banshee," Grandmother has already called, she has a commission, then I think you deliberately mentioned the offspring......"

That's the end of the appetizer, and that's it?

"I didn't mean to mention anything. Zach waved his hand, indicating that the commission was related to the descendants of the posterity, "Dinner is still a little while." Zach smiled, a smile much more sincere than Poch's, "Let's talk about it first." I've heard that as soon as you regain your freedom, you'll be very close to Ethella. "Can't refuse," I wondered why. ”

Echoing our past fears -

"Why? Is there anything incomprehensible, Grande, not Barton's only alien force. ”

Sure enough, Athera went to provoke Papa at midnight. (To be continued.) )
