"I just called Madison. Benjamin's face was a little gloomy as he watched Zach walk into the office and get up to get out of his seat.

Zach waved his hand and sat himself in the guest seat at his desk, "He refused." ”

"Refused. "Benjamin will sit back again," he refused to say to Riley. With that, Benjamin pushed the phone to Zach, "Here you go." ”

I'll wonder why I talk about Riley, because Lang was killed by the Siren, who is considered a 'relative' of the Witch, and it's in the West End.

"I doubt Madison will bother me. Zach picked up the earpiece anyway.

"Then go straight to Riley. Benjamin frowned, apparently not feeling good about being rejected by Madison on the phone just now. And the reason why Benjamin himself didn't make this call was that he was not familiar.

Zach tilted his head, dialed the phone, and glanced at Benjamin before he was answered, "Is there any news from Mike?" about Long's soul.

Benjamin shook his head, "No." Mason (Seth's vessel, now Constan's apprentice) called and said that Lang's soul had not been found. ”

"What about Mason?" Zach asked casually, because this demon Mike is very active in helping things that usually have something to do with Grande, and the facts have proven it, so there is no need to explain more.

"Mike went back to hell and continued to look for someone. "Look, it's very positive, it's too positive," I don't have much hope. Benjamin pouted.

"The only clues that can be followed are the Kraken and Boyson in the West End. While gratifying Mike's active help, he made a summary.

Wonder why Mr. Fisher himself, the man who gave Lang the secret work, wasn't a clue? Fisher was Cody's father, and his close relationship with the client kept him out of the line of investigation.

The commission needed a 'truth' that could be told to Cordy, not the truth that made his father face his own son's hatred.

Benjamin pursed his lips and nodded. Zach spoke into the earpiece, "I'm looking for Riley." ”

It doesn't matter what is said on the earpiece.

"Thank you. Zach hung up and continued to dial, as if in an unpleasant voice, "I wish Riley would be away from Bisharp Manor on Sunday. If it goes on like this, it won't be too long to live like Sharp. ”

"What's the difference, the demon is not there, in the hands of Sher (the fierce spirit), he may die faster. Benjamin waved his hand and answered.

Zach pursed his lips and acquiesced. The Bisharp family is dead, Riley, no. It's Zack's arrangement, and I'm afraid it's the only reason why the family is still breathing.

"Ah, Bisharp. The phone rang, and Zach made a helpless look before smiling at Benjamin, "Good afternoon." ”

"Uh, next, good afternoon......" In the heavy breath of adjustment, the other party's tone revealed the confusion of hearing Zack's voice.

"Oh, sorry. Did I bother about something?" was obviously interrupted something, but Zach clearly didn't want to pay attention. It's okay, we don't need to start the teenage growth mode of protecting Ryan.

Zach's hand beckoned to Benjamin, asking for help, and a move turned the conversation to Riley. After all, putting aside the truth we know, in the eyes of this guy like Bishop, Zach has no reason to look for Riley.

"Nope. No. ”

Zach had already heard Riley's voice in the background, gasping softly, "Whose call?"

"Grande's Zachary ......" Covering the earpiece didn't have much effect on Zach, "You, you wait first." I need, answer, answer this call......"

Zach was somewhat surprised than Sharp and told Riley directly to the object of the call. Think about it, when you answer the phone, someone asks you who called, how do you answer, 'a friend', this is still polite and don't mind the situation of either party bothering.

So what if the situation is a phone call from a gray relationship like Sharp and Zack, and the person asking is a lover character like Riley, and is doing something that is not suitable for being disturbed?

Bisharp is no longer reasonable, then it seems that there is no point in how long he lives, this soft man has given everything he can represent in his life to others.

There is no need for Zach to bother with Riley receiving the message, Zach tilted his head sideways and said casually into the earpiece, "It's okay Bisharp, don't bother you, hang up." "Hung up.

Benjamin watched Zach's movements and frowned, "And then?"

"We wait. Zach shrugged.

Ten seconds, the phone rang. Zach picked up, "Are you quick, so easy to get rid of Bisharp?"

"Didn't get rid of it. Riley's voice came out of the receiverpiece, "This is the doppelganger, I'm still doing something at Bisharp that was interrupted by your call, you can't expect me to drop Bisharp halfway through the process to call you back......"

Zach waved his hand into the air, "Please don't put that image in my head. It was too late, and Benjamin adjusted his posture with his mouth pulled.

"What's the matter with you? Riley's tone wasn't very good.

"I want to ask you something, about the Kraken ...... Westside" Zach couldn't finish.

"Ahh (When James takes Ryan to the mill, he mentions that Madison is arguing with Riley on the phone.) Madison denied one of Riley's requests. XXIV,13。 )

Zach raised an eyebrow and glanced at Benjamin. When he first entered the office, didn't Benjamin say that Madison refused to help Grande pass the word to Riley. It seems that Zach was wise not to look for Maddison again.

"Riley, you're wrong, Madison didn't tell me anything. Zach listened to the freeze in the earpiece and shook his head, "Sounds like you want to talk to me about the Kraken too, so what do you know, say it." "Zach is not obligated or necessary to help Madison create the 'trustworthiness' that he doesn't want to show. Of course, Zach is not obligated to act as a mediator between the two.

"I'm ......," Riley seemed to be still digesting Zach's words, "I...... I need a little time. ”

Zach pursed his lips. "Please don't get another doppelganger to call Madison, I want the person I'm talking to be attentive. ”

Zach was obviously right, and Riley on the other side of the earpiece snorted a little angrily, "Okay! I don't have the energy to care about Madison right now!" Kraken, if you want to know about Kraken, then you should at least know that the Kraken I'm talking about is a male Kraken. ”

"I know. Zach nodded. Glancing at Benjamin, "They're Papa's Midnight's new work, and the North and South Zones have been partially erased by the World Punishment because of the enchantment of Sibella, but there are still in the West Side, I don't know how much, but I know they seem to be under the control of Boyson." ”

"Boyson. Riley repeated the name on one side, "Quinn's guest, Boyson." Hum. That makes sense. ”

"What makes sense?" asked, of course.

With a long sigh, Riley seemed helpless, "I wanted to mention this more than a week ago, I told Madison, after the wedding, you said something that made me independent and I didn't want to look for you, so I asked him to help tell me. You already know. He refused, saying he wouldn't ...... between me and Grande anymore"

"Focus. "Before Riley starts to get excited. Zach reminded.

"Okay. The short silence was enough for Riley to adjust her mood, Riley continued, "At the wedding party, you helped make a deal with Lady Sheila. It was only performed once, and it was interrupted and was replaced by the Kraken. Lady Sheila was disturbed by the Kraken, and the deliberate disregard she had for me to pretend not to see even when I stood in front of me was useless in the face of a group of Kraken......"

Zach raised an eyebrow. I can't imagine that picture, but Mrs. Sheila's ugly face appears in front of her face, and it is difficult to wave it away.

Then Mrs. Sheila responded in a very negative way, closing all channels of business and not going out. ”

"She should have called the police. Zach didn't bother to give real advice, just casual comments.

"That's what I said, she said it's reported, it's useless. Now I know why, above the Kraken is Boysen, and Boysen is a guest of Quinn, huh. Riley's tone was full of sarcasm, "For the people of the West End, the lack of a supplier is not a problem at all, and it has only been a few days before a new supplier comes out, guess who it is - Quinne's guest Boyson." ”

Zach tilted his head, which was tied to what Blake had said. What is Boyson doing? Competing for business with a supplier in the West End, does he want to gain a foothold in the West End?

Zach shook his head, "Don't tell me that the supply of Bisharp is also Boyson. "In this way, Zach can't bear it.

"It's not. Riley replied, "Hmph, it's lucky, that Boyson doesn't seem to have a very big appetite, and after poaching the banquet channel, he let Lady Sheila go, the Krakens dispersed, Lady Sheila's business continued, most of the manor's supplies were still in hand, and Sharp also resumed normal trading." Tsk, after it was over, I didn't continue to force Madison to help. ”

Zach nodded, thinking, "Do these Krakens have any contact with you? I think they dare to show their faces in front of their own matriarchal line now in this modified form, have they done anything to your sisterly race?"

"Nope. Riley replied directly, "I met a few Krakens and left without me. ”

"Hide?" Zach asked.

"Shame on you. Riley said simply, "Giving up the way they were born and becoming what they are now, hmph, I don't even think they deserve to be called Kraken." ”

Zack suddenly remembered something, when Blake said the Kraken, he felt that the male Kraken was much weaker than the real Kraken in his impression of Zack, at least what they asked for to charm Blake, in the end, it was Blake who relayed it to Zack in the form of an adventure.

"Do you think they've lost representation of the 'Kraken' race?"

"Well......" Riley thought for a moment, "no. I can still feel the closeness of blood, but something has changed. Riley became impatient, "At least her appearance has changed." You should ask Lady Sheila, she's matrilineal, our flesh comes from her, and she's been in contact with the Krakens for at least a while, and she should know what has changed. Uh, or ask Molman, huh, but I'm skeptical he ever reproduced. ”

"Okay. Zack's mind resurfaced with that ugly face, oh, it wasn't some malice, it was just that the ugly face was not to be ignored, "I will, but in the meantime, I want you to keep an eye on the Kraken's movements, and if you can, I want to catch one." ”

"What?!" Riley's suddenly agitated tone showed her ...... of what she was asking of Zach Angry, "Are you kidding? I'm not going to do such a thing! I've got more than Sharp Manor to sustain, I need to live!"

"Please have a little self-esteem, Charmer. Zach shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with racial pride!" Riley retorted, "I said they have a group! You've said yourself that we're not as good as the Kraken because we don't gather in groups, yes, I'll admit it!, so I can't take the risk, you have to do it, go yourself." ”

"That'......" Zach realized it was useless to say more, and began to change direction, being interrupted.

"Zach, I want you to know that I wanted to let Madison pass on the word because the Kraken matter had an impact on Bisharp Manor, mine, and our Bishop Manor, and I agreed that we would work together on the estate, but, other than that, you have made it very clear that we have nothing to do with each other. You don't have the right to ask me to do anything!"

Is this an afterthought after Zach mentions self-esteem?

Zach shrugged his shoulders, "Riley, I said 'hope', not a requirement, you should be more attentive when talking to people." ”

"Uh...... Then you should tell Bishop that he's the one who made me not pay attention!"

"What did I just say?" Zach shook his head helplessly, "don't put that image in my head. Forget it, Riley, I hope, hear clearly, hope, I hope you pay more attention to this matter. As you said yourself, they're a bunch of krakens, and you're just one person. If I were you, I would care why my relatives across the ocean would appear in the same place as they were, or when I was struggling to maintain a family that existed in name only. ”

There was silence on the other side of the earpiece, and apparently finally, Riley was focused.

Nazak continued, "I think it's obvious that Boyson has a purpose, and for no reason, there's no way he's going to exploit Mrs. Sheila's business. Now that he's a guest of Quinn, can you guarantee that he's not going to visit Bisharp? With him comes a group of Krakens, Riley, and you have, me, a partner, think about Riley, you should be ready for whatever it takes. ”

"I'm going to hang. After a while, Riley replied, probably on purpose, "It's XX more than Sharp, I can't waste it." I'm going to concentrate on going over there. "Hung up.

Zach, who put down the phone, looked at Benjamin, who was also uncomfortable, "Say something else, I need to wash this picture off." ”

"Lady Sheila. ”

"Thank you. "Much more comfortable. (To be continued.) )
