21 Private matters
Corson forcibly dragged James away, and when Wes was about to leave, he was stopped by Zack, "I guess James fished you out of the Southern Police Department." What are the arrangements for this rare 'holiday'?"
Wes smiled, "Probably go back to sleep, and then prepare to go back to the police station and continue to be ...... by the chief Whole. β
Zach raised his eyebrows, it seems that Weis's situation in the police department has not improved a little, but it is a little strange, why does the Southern District Chief dislike Weiss so much.
"You should know that if you ask, James, or I can do something to make your situation a little better. β
"No, you don't. Wes waved his hand, "Look at James, I don't think he's very comfortable." "Honestly.
Zach laughed and stopped talking about it, "Whatever you want." Turning back to the point, "Although James and Cousson went to the North District to investigate, I can't completely leave my commission to them, you take me to Ixton to see, the police are skeptical of the homeless's confessions, but you know, I can confirm that they are telling the truth." β
Wes thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay." β
Wes was about to leave through the east side door, but Zach stopped him again, "Wait, I still have some personal matters to attend to." Would you like to see it?" Zach gave him an encouraging look.
"Your private business?" Wes laughed, "it can't be a vampire thing." β
"Oh, exactly. Zach smiled and pushed open the west door, "In the basement, James doesn't know yet, I don't think he can take it well, you can help me refer to how, well, tell him tactfully." "Of course it's saying 'General'!
Wes laughed and shook his head, "Sometimes I really admire your patience and Jaime's stubbornness. You're willing to tolerate him. β
"That's his merit. Zach smiled and waved his hand, "You see him partnering with Cousson, too." Compare it with Cousson and you will know that James's merit is valuable, and Barton needs someone like him. β
Wes pursed his lips and agreed.
"Jason, you come too. Zach walked out of the office. Deliberately turned back and beckoned to Jason, who was still sitting stiffly at his desk.
Wes tugged at the corners of his mouth, not commenting.
Walking through the short hallway on the west side of the office, before going down the stairs, Zach found Alice standing in front of the guest room door in a daze in the corridor of the living area on the other side with a dinner plate.
"Alice?" Zach frowned.
"Oh!" Alice came back to her senses, a helpless expression on her face, "Brian still won't come out." β
Zach shook his head speechlessly, gestured to the two guests, and walked to the room. knocked on the door, "Brian, come out." β
"Noβ!"
Zach pursed his lips, "People always die. Zach could have sarcastically mocked Brian's previous indifference to his mother's situation, but instead of doing so, Zach uttered such nonsense.
"I don't want to listen!"
Zach pouted, okay, tried, that's the limit of what we vampires can comfort. Zach took the plate from Alice's hand. Put it on the ground, "Leave him alone." β
"But ......"
"No, but. Zach pressed Alice's shoulder. Forced turn, "We can't control him." Zach pushed Alice out of the hallway, raising an eyebrow, remembering someone who had been ignored for a long time, "Call Emilia and let someone professional take care of it." Brian was her patient after all. β
Alice blinked. "Oh. β
"Hehe, a little bit of Grande's private matter. It's okay, come with me. With Brian done, Zach regained his smile and led the two guests down the basement.
While Zach and Cousson were still talking in the office. Danny left with a full blood canister. At this time, the 'general' who had been put down was sitting in the corner, facing the mirror, and it seemed that he was not practicing his projection ability, and seemed to be in a daze.
"This, this is ......" Wes frowned, there was not a single reflection in the mirror facing the 'General', he had already guessed it.
"My descendants. Zach introduced, waving his hand while the 'general' looked back at the person who came, "I used to be the boss of the [General's Rest Station] in the southeast, and I called myself 'General'. β
Zach patted the 'General' on the shoulder and said complainingly, "Listless." Then he introduced the two guests again, "He has a relationship with Corson, and Corson was on it just now, which obviously makes him a little uncomfortable." β
Wes raised an eyebrow, "Informant." β
"Mutually beneficial collaborator!" The General glared at Weiss suddenly, "Be careful with your words!
Zach had a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth were bent, mutually beneficial, and he didn't say anything realistic or sarcastic.
"Za, Zach, what are you going to do with me coming down too......" It was Jason who spoke, standing nervously behind Wes, keeping a safe distance of one meter. He really didn't understand Zach's purpose in bringing him to see this descendant.
"Oh, I wanted to describe the process by which this 'general' became my descendant, the new Toredo. Zach glanced at the 'General' and said unreservedly, "He's dying, very badly injured." β
Jason was even more nervous, when it came to the vampire's ability, what was the deepest part that Jason, a former member of the Fight Club, understood, wasn't it the universal healing blood that could heal all injuries!
Under Zack's comprehensive interpretation, Jason has understood that the Saints and Gangaro's fight club relies on this, even if the injury is serious, it can be brainwashed by group activities that can be healed, and cultivate a worldview that everything is solved by violence!
When the force of violence can be easily erased, one can imagine how the perception of violence will change among those club members.
"I have to save him......"
"Don't always mention it!" The General interrupted impatiently.
Zach shrugged and ignored it, not at all reminding the 'General' to be grateful, but, "So naturally, I gave him my blood." But due to some specific circumstances, it ended up leading to ......"
The 'General' interrupted impatiently, "You failed to save me, and you made me like this! Hide in this basement every day! You can't even face your own friends!"
Zach patted the General on the shoulder and smiled comfortingly, "Jason, do you understand what I'm trying to say?" β
Wes frowned and glanced back at Jason, who was trembling slightly. His cheeks twitched for a moment, then he turned back and looked at Zach, "What are you talking about, what is it? I remember the last time James was injured, you asked me to send him your blood." β
Zach didn't want to explain too much about the vampire legacy. It's privacy. Refer to the process of our human beings making descendants...... All Zach needs is to get the blood of the vampire out and is the key to this process.
"In a very particular situation, James will be fine, you can rest assured. Zach smiled at Weiss, "However, the situation of the 'General' is the first time that even I have encountered it, so if you are interested, you can ask James about 'Valmina'." β
Zach paused and continued. "What I'm trying to say is simple, Jason, when you have a close connection with Gangero and they depend on Gangero's blood for your daily life, you can't guarantee that a similar 'special situation' will not arise. Zach gestured to the 'general,' "and then, you can't be prepared for anything." Do you want to be a vampire?"
"I'm ......," Jason said eagerly, "me." We have drawn a line with the saints and Gangero...... After the case is over. They didn't look for us again......"
"You're sure. "Zach is pure temptation. The reality is not very rosy, Jason is in a social group that is completely disadvantaged, there has been a fight club, and these people are already a high-risk group among the unstable elements of society. If Zach tries to make it possible for Wes and Jason to go further, Zach needs Jason to be 'pure,' uh. That's what it means.
"I'm sure!" Jason frowned and stared at Zach, "In the club case, a few of us in 105 helped you, didn't we! The other club members didn't know the truth and still hated us! Decided that we were the ones who betrayed the club! How could we still contact them!"
"Those who only do some things to destroy public property are not the point at all!" Weiss answered with a gloomy face. Glared at Jason, "Zack is telling you to stay away from Gangaro and the Saints, you guys are the easiest to be instigated, huh!"
'You people', 'betrayal', 'easy incitement', probably the truth. Jason and the others ended up helping the police, weren't they also 'instigated' by Zack, no matter how positive the reasons were.
"Don't act like it's none of your business!" Wes glared at Jason, "You're ...... too"
Wes had already lifted Jason's neckline, "You go ahead and try it!"
Zach looked at it with a smile on his face, the exchange between the two people must have a beginning, even if the exchange is not very peaceful, but it has finally begun, isn't it.
Ignoring the two pushing and shoving each other, Zach looked at the 'General' who finally realized that the conversation had nothing to do with him, and remained silent and continued to look in the mirror.
Don't worry, the two can't fight, one is hiding deep in the cabinet, and the other is knowing that he can't beat the other party, and they are avoiding piercing a certain layer of tissue paper, so they can't fight.
"You hear me, we just had a conversation with Corson up there. "Zach looked at the 'General', he said earlier that he had some personal matters to deal with, and it was not suitable for deception.
"I hear you. The 'general' pulled the corners of his mouth, "Hmph, you're really going to do something! You can easily throw your trust into the hands of others! Why? I've listened to you, and honestly haven't made any noise! Do you have anything else to explain!"
Zach waved his hand, he knew that the 'General' had a grudge, and if he could, the 'General' would definitely want to seize Corson and discuss the situation in the Southeast.
"I'm here to ask you. Zach smiled, "Now that you know that Corson wants to check on my commission, I'll have a chance to meet him in the future." Zach paused, "So, do you have anything you need me to convey to Cursonβyou mutually beneficial collaborator?" β
The General's gaze brightened for a moment. Yes, Zach is a gray professional like him, and if the 'General' has something to say, Zach can be the messenger!
But immediately, the 'general's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head, "It's useless, my gang is gone, what else is there to say." It's been such a long time since the chaos in the southeast, and when Henuo fled for his life everywhere, he felt the attitude of the police station to deal with this matter. The 'General' closed his eyes, "There's nothing more to say, mutual benefit, hum, Cowson, you can also see that I don't have any 'benefit' to give him." β
Zach shook his head, "I don't think so. Zach looked away, "At least I can tell him you're still alive." β
The 'General' was silent for a long time and nodded, "Well, tell him that I'm still alive." β
Zach was about to spoil the atmosphere, curling the corners of his mouth, "Then Cowson will know that he has a witness in the early stages of the chaos in the Southeast." β
The General's face furrowed, and he stared at Zach strangely, "What?!"
Zach smiled and raised an eyebrow, "I'm not wrong, didn't you tell me?" At the beginning of the chaos in the Southeast, Nou happened to come to you and ask you to help him investigate the matter of Squill, and as soon as you went out to make arrangements, you came back to find that your [General's rest stop] had been invaded, and other gangs were looting your weapons depot in the basement of the bar (Zach and Benjamin went to see it during the 'Colt' incident, and the 'General' claimed to be a licensed and legitimate collection)......"
"You!" The General stared at Zach, "You mean to say this?!"
Zach winked and laughed, "Of course. The fact that the media has not reported anything about the incident in the southeast, and it is still in the stage of trying to suppress the news, which can only show that the police have not even had any content that can be called 'credit' until now, and they cannot make the information public......"
Belch...... This is indeed the truth, whether it is to maintain stability or maliciously cover up the truth.
"And you, the witness, the tainted witness, you can point to the source of this chaos, the gangs that plundered your weapons stockpile, that is, I am right. β
"You!" The 'General' glared at Zack, his eyes slightly red, just stared at him for a moment, and clenched his fists, "You're right!"
"So it was decided. Zach smiled and patted the 'General', "Keep practicing, you have to hurry." I'll tell Curson for now that you're alive, but you'll need to hide for safety. I'll give him a little clue to find out what gang forces invaded your bar in the first place. β
"Farr (Ken) ......" The 'General' grabbed Zach by the arm, fiercely and desperately trying to express something.
Zach stopped in time, "Don't rush. Keep practicing. Then he took the 'General's hand' away, looked at Wes and Jason, who were still pushing each other, and smiled, "Okay, it's done, let's go." β
"We?" Wes glared at Jason fiercely, "He's going too?!"
"Oh. Zach smiled and waved his hand, "For their insurance company, I am still a customer, he is the salesman in charge of me, it is necessary to follow me." Hehe, everyone is an acquaintance, let's get along. (To be continued......)
