If you have something in your heart, you won't live a stable life. What's more, it's something I don't want to happen. After receiving Frank's phone call, Zach had a few days of uncomfortable life.

It was Kate who found out that Zack had a problem and came to Grande to do an interview - she was the only reporter who knew about the deal between Barton's funeral business, and Zach gave her the inside story, didn't she~

"I need more. Kate was a little dissatisfied, "Grande and Allen's relationship is not good in the eyes of the public, and I need more details about the deal so that the reader can see that this is a mutually satisfactory deal, and not the result of a malicious business competition." ”

Zach had been absent-minded, "Grande and Allen don't have a good relationship, and it's not because of you. Your pot, don't let me fill it. I remember that when Kate was an ignorant reporter, in order to get revenge on Grande, she went to interview Allen, who was still a human at the time, but did not implicitly attack Grande.

But objectively speaking, Kate's concerns are justified. The sale of the mill to Allen Funeral has nothing to do with Ford Funeral's malicious competition for Zack, and the preservation is purely Zach's layout for Patton. But the layout has to be seen. Can you understand - the most basic thing for the Southern Police Department is to understand that this deal is not that Zach's Grande has lost anything, but that the Southern Police Department is going to follow this deal and decide to favor between the Devil's Feast trying to control the Southern Police Department through the Mill and General Lance, who is coming to Barton for James's wedding.

"I thought we were past the stage where we were unhappy with each other. Kate was very direct, "Are you going to destroy the balance I have so hard found in my chaotic human life because of your inexplicable mood right now?" ”

Kate can be regarded as digging out her heart and lungs, and this reporter can be regarded as a stormy growth, from her hatred of Grande because of personal grudges, to accidentally falling in love with James, to knowing the existence of alien races that shocked education, to escaping reality and hiding from Newton, and then to being stimulated by Miley to go to the middle to find James...... Finally, I can talk to Zach here on an equal footing.

Zach pursed his lips and found a copy of the contract sent by Allen, "The contract of the transaction, you can read it yourself, and you can write whatever you can." ”

As a reporter, to interview an insider deal, and to be able to directly get the contract of the transaction, can be regarded as the pinnacle of his career. Kate accepted the contract speechlessly, "So, what the hell is going on with you, you won't be bothering to give me and James some gifts." ”

Oh yes, the time for James and Kate's wedding, which was reported yesterday, will take place next Monday at Mary's Chapel. Today is Friday, and tomorrow there will be guests from the west coming to Barton, and Kate, as a landowner, needs to finish all the work at hand today, and tomorrow she will start dealing with those valuable guests.

"It's not. Zach replied directly, "Your gifts are ready." ”

"Tell me it's not a vial of your blood. Kate was expressionless.

Zach pouted, "You just want to, and I won't just give Toredo's blood any more." After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to a certain wood carving on the bookshelf, "That is your gift." ”

Kate glanced at it, "What's that?"

"'Jian' said that it was a statue of a child born in the republic, and it was the most suitable for newlyweds. ”

Kate kept her mouth open for a long time and couldn't comment. Take a deep breath, "Then what are you bothering about, you've been wandering since I came here." ”

Zach sighed anthropomorphically and glanced at Kate, "Let me ask you a question." When I say, 'Pacifist,' what comes to mind. ”

"I think ......," Kate was quite cooperative, thoughtful, "when I was younger, 11 years ago, during the war, the people who marched in the streets to demand that the government stop the war. ”

"Yes. Zach nodded, "So if a person's business is to provide weapons for war, you can't think of that person as a pacifist, can you?" ”

"Of course not. ”

"But he is. Believe me, Zach didn't want to say this, but in the past few days, Zack has been continuously recalling Tsmich Ancestor Bobber, and some of Roy's words and deeds, and he believes this more and more, "Whether the war is over or not has nothing to do with those who marched in the streets, I don't intend to belittle your experience when you were young, but I'm sorry, the reality is that the war between the Union and the North ended 11 years ago, because both sides lost too many lives in the war, and the country stopped the war because it wanted to stop the loss." ”

Kate waved her hand, "You don't have to apologize to me, I said I was young at the time, and if those people were marching in the streets every day, I wouldn't know that my country was at war with its neighbors." The response was quite ...... Truly, few people are willing to admit their ignorance of the state situation so directly.

Zach didn't comment, "Do you know why in the war 11 years ago, both sides suffered so heavy losses, huh." Zach shook his head, "After all, with the information you know now, you know that the northern country has a newly rising Tsmich, our federation, but there is an entire demon banquet to testify to the west. ”

In the war 11 years ago, Zach was on the battlefield, and no one has a better say when it comes to the lives lost in the war.

Kate frowned, "I don't know. "I didn't make a clever guess.

"I know. Zach tilted his head, "The Federation's military has always had a close relationship with Moyan Tsmich, and Moyan Tsmich's biggest industry is also the manufacture of weapons for the military. But in the war, Tsmich's support for our federal military was by providing only weapons for human use. Zach paused, to reveal something we hadn't understood before—"but without providing the blood-surging blood that would give the federal military the truest guarantee." ”

When Zach was in the west, when he was doing the sorting out of the blood trading market, he found that the amount of vampire blood purchased by the military during the war was zero, but it was now in peacetime, and it was increasing year by year.

Kate frowned, as if she was a little unsure of Zack's logic, "Do you mean that in order to end the war as soon as possible, Tsmich of the Demon Banquet deliberately imported lethal weapons into the battlefield instead of giving the blood of vampires who can save lives?

Zach nodded, "Do you think that's ridiculous? Hmph, there are similar examples in history." Four centuries of colonial wars, you know, James should have told you, the human colonists won, but the alien side lost, and they lost badly, and among the thirteen clans, the Tsmich clan suffered the most heavily, because they faced the war for the faith of the Holy Lord when the rest of our clans could avoid Papa's midnight creation, the werewolf. Eventually, the war ended, and I launched the Covert Alliance to form the Confederation because we vampires could not afford to continue these losses. ”

Don't forget, what Bob said, Tsmich is a pacifist, but the war has been irresistibly started (the colonial war, it was the Holy Lord who let the Thirteen Clans fight), and Tsmich can only rush.

Still think it's ridiculous?

Kate thought for a moment with a confused expression, "Why did you suddenly start thinking about Tsmish?"

"Because at any moment, a certain Tsmich could appear in Grande and ask for my asylum. Zach glanced at Kate, "And I, I haven't decided what I'm going to think of this Tsmich." Sympathy, recognition, dislike, contempt, or feeling indebted. Tut. ”

Kate opened her mouth and twitched the corners of her eyes for a moment, and put away the contract that Zach gave her, "You decide slowly, I don't have time to accompany you, goodbye, see you at the wedding." "Gone.
