Early in the morning, Zach was able to return to the Southside. After a night of wind blowing on the roof of a hotel in Becky, and a little aerobic exercise at dawn was just right, our vampire briskly turned west on Route 27 and onto the dirt road in front of the Grande.

Zach's good mood also has to do with a night of conversation with Ozzy Kozil. It turns out that people with the same taste are indeed easy to get along. Anyway, Sbella had the heart to let Zach be the bait, and the time to blow the wind on the roof of the building could not be wasted, and the vampire and the mind reader chatted all night.

About the Feast, about the Mind Reader, about the Hidden Alliance, about Barton's social makeup, about the philosophy of interracial and human relations, about the future......

In front of the welcome sign at the Grande Funeral Home, Zach flipped through his mailbox. Old Hank didn't seem to have come to pick up the newspaper yet, so Zach took it. I didn't want to look at it, after all, Patton's recent 'big' events, Zach has participated in a lot of things, and there is nothing to know.

However, a patchwork photo that took up the entire cover forced Zach to walk towards Grande while flipping to the content that took up three entire pages, titled "Inventory of Candidates for the Mayoral Race."

The first place is naturally the current mayor Ann Anthony, and I don't know what attitude Anthony is expressing, the photo is an office photo of himself sitting in the mayor's office. The text is omitted.

In second place is Ethella, again, I don't know what the woman is expressing, the photo is a family portrait of the new husband standing behind the woman with Caesar in his arms. Same as above, text omitted.

Thirdly, hehe, it's James Lance.

The fourth is the police chief Cologne, the fifth is an unknown guy, and the sixth. Seventh......

It's not surprising that the Federation is a colonial country, and the only requirement to become a ruler is to be a legal citizen, and whether or not you are elected is another matter.

If, before last night, Zach would have been surprised to see a picture of James appear in the campaign. Now, I don't feel anything special, I just want to confirm whether some of the information that Oz told last night is true.

For example, whether the Lance family in the west is really pushing James's political career in the east. Zach begins to read the introduction under James' photo.

Yes -

"When the general's son came to Patton at the beginning of the year, he was praised by two Massa senators, quoting, 'It's a pity that I didn't meet the general's son during this visit to Patton.' But sure enough, under the fame of General Lance, this young man is also quite good, and the task of the police department is right first, a reliable young man'......

Let's go back to everyone's memory.

At the beginning of the story, when a hungry vampire goes to the mayor on a full moon night, remember what happened, when the mayor was hosting a dinner party for two visiting senators, and the shapeshifter 'James' (King) was on a mission with Corson. As for the real James, he was waiting to die in the woods of the South Side while peeping-peeping-alpha.

So James was supposed to be when he first came to Barton. Blessed by the two senators who 'coincidentally' visited, rather than being replaced by the shapeshifters. Go on a mission.

At the beginning of the year, Kim the Shapeshifter was asked by another Shapeshifter to keep an eye on the police, so Kim followed Corson and stared at Louise on the street corner. Otherwise, where he should really go. I'm afraid it's a dinner party for mayors and senators!

The director of Cologne has always been very fond of James, and apparently it was at that time that 'James' was willful once.

Another example is whether James tried to make contact with Barton's real upper echelons.

Yes -

"The author is honored to find out that this is now the son of a general who is only a police detective. Knowing Barton's history well, the detective is full of respect when it comes to building Barton's family, but more than that, he regrets......

Apparently this presentation was in the form of an interview, and it is not known when it was conducted.

"James Lance bluntly said that every time he goes to the West End, he is already a police detective and has a mission, and before he can communicate anything, he sees some family changes, which is really sad......

Bille, Herman, Quinn, Smith...... You get the idea.

James tried, and it wasn't pretty.

Another example is ...... Zach was already standing in front of Grande's main entrance, but he raised his eyebrows and stopped, then blinked and curled the corners of his mouth.

"After telling the story of his six-month career at the Barton Police Department, we found that this young detective played an important role in many high-profile cases, such as the serial murder case at the beginning of the year, the murder of Herman's son, the Paisian cult case, and the Smith warehouse accident case......

But according to the detective's own opinion, he believes that his greatest credit, and the most difficult one, is an undercover operation that few people know about. It is the reason for the recent frequent incidents of revenge by the remnants of the 'Fight Club' that were caused by the cross-city cooperation with Newton. James was honest enough to say that he had taken on the task of infiltrating this extremely dangerous and violent organization alone, and had no idea what to do......

Alone? He was obviously accompanied by Wes. Extremely dangerous? It's just a mind reader, Eli. Don't know what to do?

However, everyone should understand the true meaning of this!

Yesterday afternoon, Zach told James that the remnants of the Fight Club were seeking revenge, looking for the Jason who had betrayed the club! Today, almost every citizen of Barton had a copy of the newspaper, and it was written, 'Fight Club, I, James, ruined!'

Zach curled the corners of his mouth, not knowing whether to praise James for being clever or laughing at this guy for being impulsive!

It should be the former.

Come to think of it, although Oz's mind-reading has obtained the list of the remnants, James can't just take the list and arrest people! What about the evidence? Is it going to waste time like most of yesterday when summoned for interrogation one by one? Will anyone admit it?

To arrest someone, James needs these people to act, and he needs them to retaliate, and the target of the attack cannot be Jason, but only himself, a police detective who is ready to deal with it.

"What are you doing standing here!" Grande's main door opened, and Old Hank put a wrinkled face in front of Zack who bent the corners of his mouth, "Tsk!" Old Hank glanced at the newspaper in Zack's hand, and the old man who picked up the newspaper and urged breakfast in the early morning started the next trip seamlessly, "Alice! Alice! Breakfast!"

Zach unfolded the newspaper and stepped into his home, reading James's introduction.

"When asked why he wanted to run for mayor, the general's son replied very sincerely: 'The current mayor of Patton is my role model, he was also a soldier, and then he became a police officer who also wanted to protect his citizens, and became the leader of a city by his own efforts, I know that I am still young, but I also hope that this is my path in life. ’』

Back to the information that Zach needed to confirm and that Oz had given.

Another example, why did the magic banquet and Lance choose Barton.

Because Barton already has a case that can be replicated. Ann Anthony's background is ordinary, and he can become mayor in a short time, relying on Patton's special urban atmosphere, and being promoted by Quinn and other Patton upper-class families, deliberately created an unusual favor for the military, then James Lance has no reason not to.

It should be clear why James would come to Barton. James's Feast of the West, or General Lance's script, is a political pawn that paves the way for them in the eastern part of the Union. (To be continued.) )
