16 Grande's Honor
Constantine was a good priest, and at least in Zach's opinion, he was able to get people to give him a huge sum of money for a place where the young congregation would come (the Church of the Son) and then respectfully say, "Thank you, Father." It is my pleasure. ”
Holding the new check, Konstantin put away his somewhat shocked look after seeing the amount, and saw that Zach had finished talking on the phone, and when he returned here, Konstantin nodded slightly and made a holy blessing, "Then I won't bother the two, may the Holy Lord bless you." With Mason, who was restricted from following him, he exited the church.
Zach smiled and sat back next to Mrs. Quinn, looking at Konstantin's background with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Lip says something very interesting to James that Constantine will make Crowley the 'master' of the world. 'Lord' means Holy Lord in Holy Bishops, representing omniscience, omnipotence, creation of the world, balabala...... But for the alien race, there is no lofty meaning, just a creator of faith, the only thing to note is that in this era when believers are all over the place, he is very powerful.
If Zach had wanted to, he could have completely healed a blood from a vampire and created a blood cult of the faith. Isn't Gangero close to the Saints' club, but they advocate violence. And advocating the inferior thing of violence, even if it doesn't meet Zack, sooner or later it will be ruined by other guys who can't see it.
Zach had the figure of Crowley in his mind, the fallen angel who couldn't even decide his own clothes and hairstyles, the fallen angel who demanded that everyone live like a Puritans. Zach shook his head, this deviant Lip probably spent a long time in a sanatorium and went crazy.
Lip said something that shouldn't have been known, and it was no longer enough to surprise the vampire Zach. Zach prefers to think. This alien race, who didn't even know the details of himself, had some strange abilities, knew some things that he shouldn't know, and inexplicably mixed into Patton's affairs.
Until we know what this Lip is, this matter is destined to be a clue. In Zach's usual style, he put that aside. looked at Mrs. Quinn, and took over the topic that had fallen before, "Benjamin is a little uncomfortable and needs to rest. I'll just go out for a walk and visit the Grande neighbors. ”
Mrs. Quinn nodded, "Alice said you were here, so I decided to come over myself." This church, for me, for us. There is a special significance. Mrs. Quinn glanced at Zach as she spoke, clearly conveying something.
Zach searched for the meaning of Mrs. Quinn's words. The Church of the Holy Son is a special place of bonding between Zach and Lady Quinn. This is where the two reach an agreement that will change the course of Grande. Remember that agreement? Mrs. Quinn brings Zack the 'business' of the powerful old men in the West End, and Zach punishes Poch for Mrs. Quinch.
The simple 'business' that Zach wanted at first, well, to put it bluntly, was that the old guys of the Grande Funeral Home needed to be rich enough to build a city in order to make ends meet!
A vampire who is currently facing a big crisis of lack of money. Still smuggling with their luck. Who would have thought that Grande would no longer have a subsidy from the city government. Mrs. Quinn appeared at Grande with a group of old fellows. Zach saw not an aging body, but a safe stuffed with Dole!
This 'business' has now completely degenerated into something else, you know.
At this point, Mrs. Quinn emphasized this again, and Zach was not sure what Mrs. Quinn meant. Refers to the Poch that Zach had to deal with in the previous agreement, or to the Lady Quinn brought to Grande's client.
"You can think I'm hypocritical. Mrs. Quinn sighed abruptly and paused. "When we were talking about Smith's crisis, I, Patton, and Stone were all opposed to entrusting Grande with this matter. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, which was a bit of a surprise. These three surnames, think about what they have in common. Grande has crossed paths with three generations of their members, Pochy, Lola Kyle, and Blake.
But in the end, we agreed. Mrs. Quinn's tone was a little self-deprecating, perhaps this was the hypocrisy she had just said.
Zach didn't speak, but listened quietly, and Mrs. Quinn obviously wanted to tell him something very important.
"We have to agree. Mrs. Quinn shook her head and looked at Zach, "Maybe you haven't really felt it yourself, but you should be realised, you joined that professional circle, and you have a lot of weight in Barton City." ”
That group of bobos watching beautiful women writhing and undressing at the same time?!
Well, Zach was aware of this, and soon he understood what Mrs. Quinn was trying to say.
The party in Bobo's Bar looks vulgar, but in fact, Zach understands that the choice of that location is only for the sake of profit and safety. Not to mention the others, just the Indian who bought and sold his real identity, his gray status is probably higher than that of the chief of the Barton Police Department! Not to mention the lawyer Wen Jiàn (when piecing together the personnel information of the nursing home) that Nou had shown to Zack. This circle covers every corner of Barton in a comprehensive way.
The appearance of such a group of people will only make the powerful fearful, because at the same time, maybe several of them are working for different forces of each other! The only thing that keeps this circle peaceful is everyone's work ethic! And this thing is really not a reliable thing.
Perhaps everyone has also discovered that in this circle, the most active and noisy are the 'generals' who are least involved in interests and are at the bottom.
"You may be mindful of the deception that Smith commissioned in the first place. Mrs. Quinn continued, "but this is the way we have decided together, and Smith's trouble this time is too great for us to risk entrusting other people with too complicated interests. ”
This is the truth, at the beginning of Smith's commission, Smith didn't even know who his opponent was, how dare he entrust someone at will!
Zach pursed his lips, "Even Grande, it's risky. Zach shook his head helplessly, "After all, Grande has already joined this circle. ”
Mrs. Quinn did not deny it, and looked at Zack, "But, it's you, you Grande are special. Now Mrs. Quinn said, "We believe that Grande can do it, and Grande has lived up to our trust." ”
Grande did just that, without appropriating a shred of information from that gray professional circle, and managed to gain Smith's trust by his own strength and settle the real commission. 'On its own' means that relying on Anthony and Crowley, and then framing the innocent Yuri, casually broke up a young couple, uh, it was long since they broke up. However, Zach was not obligated to explain these things to Mrs. Quinn.
Zach could only accept this as a compliment, and tilted his head, "Then Madame, you should be able to understand my behavior of helping Quest this time." Zach got serious and said his sincerity clearly, "Grande doesn't want to be involved in interests. ”
Mrs. Quin took a deep breath and nodded, "I'm glad we have a consensus on this point. We don't want either. That's why we were against it in the first place. Then he laughed at himself, "And this time, you also proved that Grande doesn't care about interests at all, and your behavior can be said to be arbitrary." ”
Zach smiled and raised his eyebrows, this evaluation can't be determined whether it is good or bad, let him go, anyway, it happened a long time ago, and now it seems that Mrs. Quinn does not mean to blame.
But Zach was curious, what Mrs. Quinn had said before, as if Mrs. Quinn had a special consideration for the nature of the Grande, "I know exactly what I want, but I wonder why Madame and Barton, and Stone, think this way." ”
Mrs. Quinn said again something that surprised Zach.
"Because we're old. Mrs. Quinn looked at Zach, "I don't know when, we old fellows will be buried in your Grande's graveyard." Mrs. Kunyin actually had the heart to joke, "Our name, which carries our surname, will fall on this generation." ”
This generation?
"To build the city. Mrs. Quinn's expression suddenly changed, uh, confused, "We've done a lot of things with our last names that you would never know. ”
How to build a city, think seriously about this question.
"Our sons and daughters have inherited one of our qiē. Mrs. Quinn continued, "Good, bad, one qiē. With a qiē that they took from us, they pulled the city up completely. ”
Zach looked understanding.
"We still have a glimmer of hope. The confusion on Mrs. Quinn's face was gone, and turned into affirmation, "When our one qiē is inherited to the next generation again, we hope that one qiē is all good!"
What does that mean? When Kepler took a qiē from his father, she wouldn't know what her family had done.
When the generations change, the surnames of the West End will be whitewashed.
Zach curled the corners of his mouth, and there was a hint of deliberate respect in his tone, "So Grande, in fact, is for this generation, 'gift'." Probably describing himself as a gift, a little ridiculous, Zach chuckled lightly.
"Yes. Mrs. Quinn bluntly admits, "We had this idea after the incident with Kyle at the Barton family. Grande doesn't need to know about our old things, and you don't need to get involved in our legacies that should be lost to history. ”
Mrs. Quinn looked at the statue of the Son, "If we are fortunate enough to have the favor of the 'Son Apparition', we will use it for the generation that carries our hopes!"
Again, the words of Mrs. Quinne, whom Mrs. Patton had criticized.
But Zach genuinely liked the description, and looked at the huge cross, the face of the Son, where pain and pity coexisted, "This is Grande's honor." (To be continued......)
