Just as Rutler Sembra had foretold, Hamilton had come to Grande with the Feast's orders to the Assammet clan.

"I've never seen anything like it. Hamilton sat down behind his desk with a large briefcase. It looks ridiculous, and he looks like he wants to see Zach but doesn't dare to look at it.

Zach pointed to the briefcase in Hamilton's arms, "It's all for me?"

"Well, no. Hamilton pulled out a crushed, flattened origami from the outermost pocket of his briefcase and gave Zach an unnatural look, "This is for you." "Put it on the table first, and then pat the briefcase that has not shrunk in the slightest," this is for Mayor Anthony, Barton's four-year plan. ”

Zach tilted his head, "Do you need me to pass it on to Anthony, I'll see him tonight." ”

"I'm counting on your help. Hamilton seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Every time I come into contact with your friend (Anthony), I forget that I am the 'monster' who can tear people to shreds in an instant." ”

Zach had a smile on his face, "Anthony's best quality~"

Understand what these two people are talking about, don't forget it.

After Hamilton handed the briefcase to Zack, he picked up the origami he had just put down again, and slowly spread it out, his expression returning to his original weirdness. Before giving Zack the order to the Feast, he turned his head sideways to feel the Grande environment, "What about Benjamin and Murphy?"

Zach replied by shrugging his shoulders. There is no lying and no honest relative.

"It's okay if they're not there. Hamilton breathed a sigh of relief again and began to read the contents of the paper, "'There is no suggestion for how to deal with Assamet.'" Pausing to glance at Zack, the paper flipped to Zach, "I'm not kidding, look, suggest, 1, point, 0." ”

At first, Zach didn't understand what Hamilton meant, and only began to think after looking at Hamilton's serious look, and then suddenly said, "Oh. The corners of his mouth curled unconsciously, "Your father finally accepted Toledo, I, not under his control, not under the control of the Demon Feast, so it is no longer an 'order', it becomes a 'suggestion'." And then. Zach smiled and shook his head, "He knew things were going to get complicated and unpredictable for me, so he added a version number, 1.0~right~"

Hamilton looked at Zach, serious, "Like I just said, I've never seen anything like this. "Flipped over the paper and continued, "'The screening of foreign vampires of the original Hidden Alliance based on the central part is still ongoing, the size and power of Asammet in the central part is still unknown, and the fighting clan within our Demon Feast, the Tsmich clan is experiencing some accidents and is unable to exert its normal combat ability. After discussion among the clans, it was decided not to list the Assammet clan as the enemy of the Demon Feast for the time being. ’”

Although it was only one page, Zach estimated that Hamilton had only read a third of it, and made a gesture of please for Hamilton to continue.

"'Despite this, after the Covert Alliance left the central part of the Federation, there was still such an unknown clan hidden in the central part of the Federation, which was a hidden danger to the central part of the Federation and the future control of the entire territory of the Federation by the Demon Banquet. Hamilton frowned and looked at Zach.

"'Like the many hidden dangers left behind in the center, such as hunters, wizards, and uncontrolled low-class aliens. It will take time and a lot of information to deal with these hidden dangers in the middle of the country before we can make concrete plans and make tangible progress for the future of the Demon Feast......"

Zach had to interrupt, "I feel like I'm listening to some kind of political declaration, let alone orders, what advice does your father have to give me? Can you get to the point quickly, heh, suddenly an ex-wife stood in front of him, it's me, please understand me a little, anxious." ”

Hamilton, of course, understood Zach, nodded his head, and looked at the paper and moved his gaze down to the bottom, "'In summary, after discussions among the clans, we strongly recommend that Toredo, Zach Ray Grande, who has established direct contact with these hidden dangers in the middle of the Federation in Patton, become our vanguard and continue to play a role in maintaining relations with these hidden dangers in order to buy time and information for our people in the west. May all the best for our Toledo brothers Lesenbra. ’”

After waiting for a while, Zach raised an eyebrow, "Gone?"

"It's gone. Hamilton handed the paper to Zach.

Zach took it and glanced at it, "Your father basically didn't say anything, and that's a suggestion?"

Hamilton leaned forward with a serious face and looked at Zach, "Didn't you see that! He asked you to maintain your relationship with Murphy! You have a relationship with Murphy? You are husband and wife! I hate to say that, but this is my father's plan! He doesn't want you to get out of your interracial marriage with Assamet at all! He's taking advantage of this! That's what I wanted to warn you about before! This interracial marriage will be a stain that you can never get rid of!"

Zach glanced at the excited Hamilton, and he didn't know when he wanted to laugh, Hamilton liked him. You know, don't think crookedly.

"It's all funny. Hamilton actually read the smile that Zach didn't show, "The current situation is very bad for you! If my father's order is to be directly hostile to Assamet, it's better than this! The civil war in Zmish is just an excuse, you know that the most bloated clan in the west is Giovanni's! If there is a vampire battle, there is no need for the Tsmish who have been addicted to human weapons, and the Giovanni will be enough! Reduce the population of Giovanni and solve the problem of Assammet at once! Father did it on purpose to make your marriage with the Assammet clan a little bit solid!"

Zach raised his eyebrows and looked at Hamilton in a little surprise, "You sound like you have a very strong personal opinion on this matter~"

Believe me, personal opinion, it's not a good thing for Hamiltonian.

Hamilton's face sank and he pursed his lips.

Zach smiled, "Now I understand why you don't want Murphy to be in Grande, it's not the order of the Magic Banquet...... "change the tone" Suggestion 1.0 is not suitable for Murphy to hear, it is your personal opinion, not suitable to be heard." As for what Rout said on the phone before, it was obvious that he was deliberately provoking Zack.

Hamilton spoke, a little off topic, "From the time I came to Barton, I don't want to admit but it's true, I didn't do anything, all I did was you and the western microphone. I can guess what you and the people in the west think of me, which is to maintain the status quo, right? He glanced at Zach to verify.

Zach nodded honestly.

"I want to do something practical at Barton!" staring at Zach, "I didn't leave my life in the West to become a status quo morticist (Alan Funeral), and now I finally have the opportunity to really do something, but my father has once again erased my hopes because he wants to suppress Toredo's future at the Feast." I, I'm not convinced. ”

So, Hamilton didn't like Zach, he just didn't like himself enough.

Zach wanted to be sure, "You might be more specific, disagree with your father's decision, or disagree that you were unlucky enough to meet me?"

"Both. Hamilton went into honesty mode, "I'm not the oldest, not the most powerful, not the most liked of the three generations of Lesenbra. I can accept being in the middle, after all, it's a fact, and I can't change it. It is enough to be honest as one of the father's many sons. At least four centuries before I met you. Hamilton has said that he was a vampire who was transformed during the colonial wars, "but when I came to Barton and met you, I found that I was the most inconspicuous of all the 'high-attention' events you did." Tsk, I don't even have Nainard compared to the past. I'm under your 'aura', completely ...... Gone. I'm not happy that my father asked me to come to Barton, and I'm not happy that it was you who was in Barton. Both. ”

Zach blinked, and a word popped into his head, the word midlife crisis invented by man. Used to describe those who suddenly find themselves accustomed to a life that becomes ...... Lost, of humanity.

Zach opened his mouth to say something, when the phone rang. Zach picked it up and made a gesture to Hamilton as he said, "Grande Funeral Home." ”

"Zach! It's me, Charlie, I've got your message!"

"Oh, Charlie. A smile appeared on Zach's face, "How's Vega's life going?"

"Nice!people, food, entertainment...... Hehehe. "It's so much better than Grande." ”

"Yes, that's Vega City. Zach smiled too. We all know how boring and deprived Grande's daily life is.

"I've asked Logan to inquire about the alien families who have lost their children, sorry I didn't get a call before, I've been called to the Feast meeting, uh, as a Toledo representative. ”

"Isn't the meeting fun~" Zach was teasing Charlie.

"No! I'm scared to death! It's all the heads of the clans of the Demon Banquet! And the ancestors of Lesenbra! Oh my God, I feel like an ant in front of him! I don't dare to speak!"

"It's good~ It's Toledo's tradition not to speak at the Magic Banquet meeting~ I started it, and it's up to you to carry it forward~Hold on~"

"I'll try my best...... By the way, I already have a dossier of more than a dozen candidates for Toredo's descendants here, all of whom have some achievements in various fields in Vega City, do you want to take a look? ”

"No, how is Brother Dog doing?"

"He's very good, every time there is a funeral industry meeting here, he carries a camera and shoots a bunch of aliens throughout the whole process, and then spends a few days and nights editing and dubbing...... I feel like he's deliberately squeezing his body to age faster......"

Zach laughed, "Tell him that Toledo needs a face, and tell him not to be too bad about himself." ”

"Good. Charlie over there seemed to be a pen and paper jot down Zack's explanation, and Zach heard the grinding sound of writing. "One more thing, that Lesenbra's ancestor, asked me a question about you after the Demon Feast, and I couldn't feel what he wanted to do...... I felt bad standing in front of him...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, he asked something. ”

"What does it feel like to be the sole survivor of a clan......"

"How did you answer. ”

"I said you're doing well......"

"Hehe, easy to answer. ”

"That's what he said......"

"Alright, hang up. ”

"Yes. ”

Zach put down the phone, as if reminded by the content of the call, "Your grandfather is coming to Barton, is he excited?" ”

Hamilton didn't have any expression, "Not very excited, my only impression of him is that he won't give money if he loses playing cards." When I became a vampire and should have had an 'impression' of him, he had disappeared and gone to sleep. ”

Zach tilted his head, unable to respond to this kind of remark Thirteen Clans playing cards during the colonial wars, used to get those human soldiers accustomed to those blood-sucking customs were the game of comrades on their side. Based on the fact that poker was a creation painted by Mokawi himself, and all feminized, Zach didn't want to lead the conversation to that place.

"Gina, Anthony's missing secretary, called me out of the blue. Zach didn't give Hamilton any time to prepare, "This conversation is limited to you and me, so it's not like I'm talking to you on the microphone." Isn't this Hamilton's metaphor to himself just now, "Report the information I should report to the Demon Feast, but I'm telling you something." Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

Hamilton was stunned for a moment, his head tilted from the right to the left. I don't understand.

Zach wasn't in a hurry, "You just said, you don't accept the facts that happened in your life, your father, me, right." It's a shame that that's all there is to do in your life, your father, me. Then I ask you, do you want to feel something else?"

"Of course I want to ......"

Zach answered quickly, "Then do something that has nothing to do with your father and me." "What do people who have a midlife crisis do? By the way, get divorced, quit a job, buy a car, go on a trip...... A truth. "Like the one I'm going to say to you. Are you ready? ”

Now, Zach gave Hamilton time to react.

It's good, Hamilton's head from top to bottom. You ready.

"This Gina seems to think that Barton has been completely controlled by the Demon Feast, and she thinks that Anthony is a puppet controlled by the Demon Feast or something, which is not good anyway, so that she thinks she is helping Anthony's deliberate sabotage of the election vote and try to prevent Anthony's re-election. On the first day, she succeeded, but the situation was immediately discovered by me, Anthony controlled her, and then she committed suicide. ”

Zach looked at Hamilton's changing face with satisfaction, and we knew that the disappearance of Mayor Barton's secretary was an inexplicable circumstance for the Feast. So what Zach is talking about now is intelligence outside of Hamiltonian's knowledge, "but not really committed suicide, obviously she used the 'sleeping pills' and 'Xiaobai' that were illegally circulating in Barton during this time, escaped from Anthony's control, and continues to escape." ”

Zach paused to make sure Hamilton was following, "But what's interesting is that this Gina obviously knows something, like alien, but what she knows is very different from the truth. The phone she called me revealed that she knew that I was a friend of Anthony's and a second-generation Torredo vampire, but she kept believing that the Feast was a more dangerous and alien organization that I couldn't fight, and that Anthony needed my help to get out of the Feast's control. Zach raised an eyebrow at Hamilton, "Look, a huge deviation. Eventually, she hung up and continued to disappear. This matter, the Demon Banquet doesn't know, Anthony doesn't know, I, heh, I don't know what's going on. There's something that everyone doesn't know about now...... The organization, using Gina, made a fuzzling figure out what everyone was baffling about. The important thing is to look at the current facts, Gina and the organization behind her have failed, and this matter can be left behind for all of us, after all, objectively measured, there is no loss. Who is Gina? I don't care, the Devil's Feast doesn't care, Anthony, probably doesn't care. ”

Zach looked at Hamilton with a smile on his face, "You, Hamilton, are you interested in caring about it?When we all look away, there is no your father, no magic feast, no me~ It's completely up to you to dig out the source of the incident? No guarantees, but you may be able to 'shine'~"

"I took it!"

Not bad. Midlife crises can still find self-motivation, which is commendable.
