Would you be surprised if I told you that James, who had officially returned to Barton's life, had come back to Grande after work? Benjamin was not surprised, and looked at the humans at the table who were grabbing food with him, "Did you pay for the heating of your own house?" ”

James glanced at Benjamin, "Handed over." ”

That's it, this conversation is gone. There was only the sound of chewing at the table.

It can be felt that Benjamin still has the desire to speak, because there are still two young girls at the table.

Benjamin chewed on the food in his mouth for a while, "I'm going to get a façade for the Ancestral Office, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Maya knew how unhappy Benjamin and Alice had been in the past two days, and looked back and forth, not ready to interject.

James spoke, and he should be giving a true opinion, "How about the field activity gear store." ”

Benjamin actually showed favor to Alice by mentioning this, after all, we all know that the point of his dispute with Alice is that Benjamin didn't listen to Zack's advice, right? Now that he has taken the initiative to let the ancestral office have a proper façade, he is giving in.

So, Benjamin wasn't ready to receive advice, especially, from a police officer — "What do you mean, weapons?" ”

"Of course. James was still giving advice, "Shotguns, traps, stuff." James tilted his lips, "But I'm mostly referring to tents, tools, fishing rods, and the like, if they're weapons." You're pretty close to an uninhabited beach, aren't you? ”

"Do you mean I should open an equipment shop and encourage the citizens of Barton to run around in the wilderness at all times, including on full moon nights? ”

James still didn't feel Benjamin's true intentions, and still gave advice seriously, "You can control the wolf's body, can't you?" So yes, Barton's wilderness is safer than the city's. James pursed his lips and quickened his eating.

Benjamin frowned, looked at James for a moment, and turned his gaze away to Alice, "I told Zach before to open a holiday estate similar to the Inheritor, and he taunted me with a full moon night. ”

Alice didn't speak, and rolled her eyes. Instead, James picked up, in a wonderful tone, "Hmph, if you feel ridiculed by him, you will fall into his way." It's just to admit that you don't have self-control. Got it. James looked up, "Maya, salt." Taking the salt from Maya, he continued, "But a vacation estate is not a good idea, and you don't want your average human client to stay where you're receiving an alien commission. "You don't want humans to live." You just need to let the customers come, there is a flow of customers, and hide the aliens who really go to you to entrust the business. That's why you want to give your ancestral office a façade, right? ”

Everyone at the table looked at James.

James was a little uncomfortable, and frowned, "What are you doing, what do you have on my face?" "Pulling a napkin and rubbing it on your face.

"No, you continue. Benjamin paused his meal and motioned for James to continue.

James tugged at the corners of his mouth, shifted his chair, and distanced himself from the three aliens a little, "Don't say it, I'm a policeman." "It's a little late.

"Don't, go on. Zach showed up at the door of the restaurant, explaining the reason later, "That's good advice." ”

Zach disappeared from the doorway again. But soon he reappeared, with a wine bottle in one hand and a glass in the other, and sat down on the main seat of the table, "And I have a small suggestion, in order to increase the flow of customers used to cover up the aliens, don't sell equipment, rent." Zach seemed to be keen on this suggestion, looking at James, out of courtesy to complement his suggestion, and then looked at Benjamin, raising half of his eyebrows, "No one wants to buy something that won't be used once in a few years, but if you only pay for one-time use, most people are willing to give it a try~"

Benjamin looked at Zach for a moment, then turned to Alice, Benjamin still knew his purpose, "Is he mocking me again, I didn't hear it." ”

Alice rolled her eyes again, "He didn't, he's giving advice!" and then turned to Zack, "Lower your eyebrows!"

"Oh, sorry. Zach pressed the corners of his eyebrows, "Bad habits, bad habits of making others listen to me carefully." "Well, the principle is that facial expressions help attract attention. It's kind of Toredo's instinct.

James looked around, not knowing what he was thinking, and then lowered his head to eat.

There was silence at the table for a while, Zach was the most boring one. Because drinking this action is much simpler than eating. It's an awkward moment that vampires often have to face in the social arena, so only Zach wants to break the silence, "If we don't continue to talk about the façade of the ancestral office, then I'm going to have some bad news." ”

Zach managed to attract everyone's attention.

Shake a wine glass first, "The call just now was from Mo." ”

"Ink, is she doing in the Republic?" asked Alice. The emotional foundation is there, and I remember that Mo was Alice's republican cooking teacher for a while.

"The Republic is her home, you name it. Zach smiled.

"It's a mockery. James lifted his fork and all eyes were on him. And under James's gathered gaze, he showed a look of seeing through Zach...... In fact, James saw through the alien race, "The republic is already a country that is not tolerant of alien races." Ink returns to the humans who betrayed her in the first place, and it is impossible to live well. ”

The gaze on James withdrew and focused on Zach. Alice was worried about Mo, and Benjamin was looking at him with a confused look. Why is James talking so calmly about interracial here?

Zach wouldn't answer Benjamin because Benjamin was involved, he just didn't realize it. Answer Alice, "It's not ideal, but it's not too bad." At least she said she and Kim were safe. ”

"Where is it safe?" Alice asked, it was important, "where are the angels, where are the Hidden Alliances, where are the Republicans, or are ......" Alice frowned, "Eli and Zager." ”

As people who went to the republic from the Grande, we can think that ink has its own aura. Hearing Alice's enumeration, the angel should be grateful to Grande, so he will protect Mo, which goes without saying, common sense.

The Secret Alliance, the only relic of the Federation - Zachary Torredo who was not killed, this is the only information in the Republic, which is precious. We weren't naïve enough to think that the Covert Alliance would welcome Ink with open hands, at least, until Covert dug up Zachary Toredo's information, keeping Ink alive. That's the reason.

As for the republican aliens, home, how bad can it be.

Finally, Eli and Zagger. This is a combination that was forced together by Papa at midnight, and to be honest, no one can predict what these two guys will do. Including Zach - Zach may be able to predict Zagger, old terrier, Zagger is Zack. But Zach, heh, can't predict Eli. Except for being able to say that Papa Midnight is insidious.

"That's the bad news. Zach smiled helplessly, "Ink has been promoting her soap opera with 'Sophia' in the republic, running all over the country, and Mo has not stayed in any of the forces of the republic." ”

James frowned, "Is that soap opera heroine very popular in the Republic?"

"Obviously the atmosphere of the republican people is very subtle, and they are a little shocked that 'Sophia' is on the screen, well, unrestrained. "I still remember the name of this soap opera that I don't want to be called - "Sophia and Her Lovers"" This play is somewhat similar to the introduction and teaching of the Federation people who are not ready to really come to the Federation. ”

"It's misleading!" James finally got a little James in shape, pretending to be justice, "She became popular in the Commonwealth by protesting against that misleading advertisement, Miley's advertisement. "'Toy' commercials, remember, "How can she use her ridiculous soap opera to represent the Commonwealth!" to create a worse impression!"

Before Zach could reply, Benjamin took the lead and stared at James, "I heard you right, James, now you can talk about interracial calmly, but when it comes to a third-tier star who is good at marketing, you are excited." ”

Zach quickly shut up, not ready to engage in the conversation.

James glared at Benjamin and kept his mouth open for a long time.

There was an embarrassment at the table for a while, it was Maya, who had not been directly involved, "He has to hate something, doesn't he!" When he found that his eyes began to focus on him, he quickly approached Alice, "Ignore me, you continue to talk." ”

Alice receives a message from Maya to Zach, "An actor's entourage can protect Ink?"

"No, you can't. Zach shook his head and returned to the topic, "But if a bunch of people are watching each other, suppressing each other's forces that want to contact her, then she will be safe." ”

"Well, this kind of thing can't last!"

"So I said it was bad news. Zach shook his head and paused for a moment, "Mo also mentioned one thing, the republic is a country, and the environment for foreign survival is becoming more and more ......" Zack frowned, "Harsh." ”

No one answered, and only Zach, who had spoken to Mo, could explain this thing, "The republican native aliens, as you all know, the republicans no longer 'trust' them, so the republican aliens themselves are very difficult to exist. And then. Zach's brow furrowed a little deeper, and the object of his gaze was Benjamin," Mur said, as she heard rumors that the Republican government was hunting alien, undifferentiated, federal aliens or republican aliens. ”

No one answered. And Zach continued to look at Benjamin, although Benjamin already had an impatient expression of 'why are you always looking at me', "Mo hasn't seen it with her own eyes, it's just some rumors, she doesn't want to really witness it, so she hasn't asked for it." In fact, she didn't know how to verify it, after all, it was an incident carried out by the government. ”

Benjamin tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Look at what I'm doing, should I have an opinion?? I'm not a republican or a republican government!"

Zach ignored and continued to look at Benjamin. Zach has the conviction that Benjamin will react, "I'm saying that the republic, the state apparatus, is killing the alien ...... in the national territory"

Benjamin's reaction was really slow, and James interjected, "With what? James was sarcastic, because James knew very well what kind of armed group hunters were in the Commonwealth, "Are you saying that the Republic has raised a group of hunters and given them weapons in the name of the state?" ”

Thanks to James for getting to the point. Benjamin finally got it. Glaring at Zack, "Weapons, the Republic of this country, is making weapons against aliens!"

Zach nodded, "Not just the weapons, but the people who use them." But I doubt that the Republican government calls these people the same way we do the Commonwealth. ”

Although James didn't know what Zach and Benjamin were alluding to, he could feel the dissonance in these words, "Has Mo ever seen these state-made, uh, weapons?"

"As I just said, Mo doesn't want to verify it in person. Zach glanced at James and thought that James should be able to react, so he added a hint, "But, perhaps, we have met." ”

James pursed his lips and waved his fork, "Hmph, where are we meeting, Republic, I'm sorry, I've never been out of the Federation." Then very quickly, James glanced at Zach, "In the public file, I don't." ”

Oh, here is the incident when he was still in the military, and he was on a mission. James was definitely out of the country.

Zach wasn't ready to continue prompting James, looking back at Benjamin, "Do you still want me to continue to solve the incident you threw at me?" "Began to say things that James didn't understand at all.

Alice, the one who didn't understand, looked back and forth at Benjamin and Zach, trying to ask, "What's going on?"

Zach didn't answer Benjamin, "That weapon made by the state against the alien race, if I continue to deal with it, I may be in danger." ”

This statement is becoming more and more confusing to others.

Instead, James glanced at Zack, frowned, and was not ready to speak, probably ready to observe.

Alice looked a little anxious, "What are you talking about, you're not talking about ink now, are you?"

Benjamin frowned, didn't look at Alice, but replied to Alice, "No. "Then I looked at James, and I was probably moved by what Zach just said, 'I might be in danger,'" James. Do you still have a connection with your old partner Corson? ”

"What for. James, who wanted to continue observing, was clearly not prepared for things to happen to him so quickly.

"I want you to ask your old partner if there's anything missing from their Southern Police Department's evidence department. ”

James was a little impatient, "What? uh, you have to ask yourself...... "After all, he is a policeman, and he is not a stupid guy, he finally thought of it, and glared at Zach instantly, "You just said weapons?!Weapons made by the state against aliens?!"

Zach nodded.

James continued, "The self-bombing was put in that Republican's house by Papa at midnight, and the weapon I searched for?!"

"I said, we, maybe we've met. Zach nodded.
