Chapter 21: Dilemma

Mike sensed Zach's mood change, but he didn't stop and continued to relay, "After Quest's project began, Smith began to contact farmers on the South Side around Quest. ”

Zach shook his head slightly, the previous narrative only filled in the blank background of James's investigation results, and now it was Quest's real action against Smith. That's what Zach originally hoped for, offending Smith.

"Quest Group has signed supply and demand agreements with most of the farmers in the South District for the reason of expansion, and in the next five years, the Quest Group will control the planting selection of the land, and the sales of crop products will go directly to the North and South chain stores of [Big Q]. Smith's side wasn't happy, but they didn't have Quest's influence in the South......"

"Just tell me what he did?" Zach waved his hand to interrupt Mike's retelling, and the mood to listen to the story was gone.

"Neil and Daphany. Mike said bluntly, "Quest has been cornered. What a straightforward conclusion.

"I thought Crowley said I'd be happy. Zach shook his head.

This is a very simple question, do vampires want to live in the middle of a field of 'poisonous weeds'? Of course not! It's not a bright and righteous reason, just by imagining it, you can foresee endless troubles and a lot of attention in the future! Vampires and Alpha would initially choose to occupy Grande's funeral home, out of the proper identity of old Grande, just because they don't want this.

Between secrets and secrets, you don't want to sit in neighbors.

That's what she said. Mike nodded, as if recalling Crowley's exact words, "'Push the recording incident to Quest, and then turn it into a deal between the two parties, so that Smith will give up continuing to threaten Quest, and Quest will remain silent about the recording.'" ’”

Crowley had a reasonable idea. As for getting Quest to cooperate, it wasn't too difficult for vampires.

"And then?" Zach laughed, "Crowley wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that Smith would let Quest go. From what I've heard, I don't expect any accidents to happen to Quest. ”

Mike's face turned embarrassed, "Crowley said, that's your problem. ”

Zach could already imagine Crowley's smile behind the words. "Yuri. Zach said with a wave of his hand and a frown.

"Yuri is simple. Mike was very talkative and immediately changed the subject.

Yuri is a foreign business to Barton City, so he is unlucky, but Herman is fortunate to have picked a moment when Barton needs to develop and enter here. When Yuri came to Barton, Barton City already had the size of a city, and if you want to talk about merchants, Herman may still have a glimmer of ideals to build a city, and Yuri is a very simple businessman.

"The rivalry between Yuri and Smith is in the construction of Liszt. It has reached a peak. ”

Zach frowned and listened to the news that had been dug up by the convenience of the demons, thinking in his head. The development of Liszt Street and its surroundings is the result of the joint efforts of all the citizens of Barton.

Of course, Zach didn't go through that time, but he only heard a few things when he could still be around Anthony a lot.

The development of the city of Barton had a bottleneck before Liszt. Initially built by sea, road, and rail, the city laid the foundation for convenient transportation, and then Hermann's automobile industry developed thoroughly, relying on the convenience of transportation.

But Barton is not so much a city. It is better to say that it is a large-scale production and transportation station. Do you think those guys who play city training are happy with this result? No.

So they started to push Barton into a real city, and the first step was to move the center that it used to be. From Becky, which is centered on traffic, move away. Take this nascent city out of the impression of 'just a site'.

The process was not pleasant, as Yuri showed up.

It may have been a friendly solicitation, but when these merchants were in real interest, a bloodless war began.

"We have established that at the time Yuri had confirmed the true face of Smith. Liszt at that time. Most of the major buildings are made of Yuri building materials. Only the iconic Liszt Mansion was left to Smith. The two parties reached an agreement on the deal in the light and the dark, and Yuri also settled down in Barton City because of that period. ”

Zach thought, so it seems. Smith and Yuri have faced each other before, and they have won. So this time, I want to replicate the past that I won before.

"And. "Mike finished the cup of water," said Crowley, who said that you would be hesitant after listening to Quest, and that she personally preferred Yuri, and as for the reason, she said that you would know after you asked Anthony. ”

Mike looked at Zach still thinking, no longer paraphrasing the flatness, and asked expectantly, "Have you asked Anthony?"

Zach glanced at the demon, smiled, and said, "Say, this time Crowley gave you a few days off?"

Mike grinned, seeming a little embarrassed, "I don't have to go back for the whole week until Sunday." ”

Zach smiled, this innocent guy didn't care about Grande's commission, nor did he care about the problems faced by Crowley and Zach, all he cared about was the time when he could move freely after completing Crowley's task early.

So he was looking forward to Zach having already found Anthony, and at this time he had already made a decision, and then all these problems were solved in one morning, and he could make up for the last vacation that was missing because of Wells, and feel the world happily!

Zach pursed his lips and glanced at Mike apologetically, "I'll hit now." ”

"Oh. Mike was a little disappointed.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Louise walked in through the side door. The silk shirt was tucked into a short skirt at the waist, the straight calves in stockings were exposed under the skirt that just covered the knees, and the jacket hung from the arm carrying a briefcase, and Louise, who was wearing light makeup, smiled and asked, "How is it?"

Zach hadn't seen Louise put on makeup for a long time, and the vampire thought back to his initial impression that it was two people entirely......

"Good. Zach smiled and nodded, "Are you going by car?"

Louise nodded, "Benjamin found one in the warehouse. ”

Zach thought for a moment, but said, "Let Danny come along." "Vampires are still a little worried, please try to understand that if the elephant and the ant are a couple, it is the same reason that the elephant is worried about the ant's travel. It was the first time Louise had left the South End since she settled in Grande.

Louise pouted, "Okay." She winked at Zack, "But I'm the leader, he's the follower." ”

Again, Louise has put the drop in a wonderful place.

Zach smiled and nodded, watching the woman walk out of the office.

Mike looked at Zach's face, "Don't worry, Crowley has people guarding Dylan." ”

A soul escaped from hell, and this gossip spreads faster than you think. Zach told SΓΉ Walter directly, and if someone found him, he would just report Grande's name directly, so it was not surprising that Crowley paid attention to Dylan. I believe that as soon as Crowley sees him, she will find out that he is special, protect, monitor, and control, let's pick a word at will.

Zach tilted his head to express his gratitude, he was worried that Dylan would get out of control, after all, watching his relatives and friends discuss whether to burn himself or bury himself is not something that will be pleasant.

The dial on the phone turned slowly, and Zach dialed the phone in Anthony's office, and almost immediately, the phone was picked up.

"Why is it so slow!" Anthony's voice was not very happy, he called early to get Zach to reply, and now he was impatient to wait. As for why Anthony would assume that Zach was calling, because of the mayor's private phone number, not many people know about it.

"I'm the one to complain. Zach pouted, and to his friend, he didn't have to do those boring facial plays, "Where did you go last night?"

"I'm busy!" said the mayor impatiently, "and don't stuff my answering machine anymore! It's not fun!" Zach called Anthony every quarter of an hour last night, and all of them turned to the message, and Zach babbled a bunch of nonsense, passing the time and the frustration of not being able to find anyone. This continued until the end of the 3 a.m. supper, when Zach heard the tape full and gave up.

Zach made a look at Mike that didn't blame me, "We need to talk, it's a very strict question." Zach thought that usually Anthony would only be vague about vampires when it was within his work. Remembering the dinner party (for the campaign) that he had heard Anthony talk about earlier, Zach decided that it was better not to go directly to City Hall, "Do you have time?"

In the muffled background, Anthony's voice came, apparently the mayor covered the microphone and asked about his itinerary, but it didn't have much effect on the vampire. After a moment, Anthony's voice became clear, "Noon, where to go?"

"Does it have to be noon?" Zach frowned.

"I'm very, busy. "There was already the sound of a pen writing on paper in the earpiece, and the mayor was really busy.

"Well, then old place. Twelve. Zach gave Mike a helpless look.

"Yes. After a sound came from the other side, he hung up.

Looking at Mike's somewhat disappointed expression, Zach smiled and shook his head, "If we had your demonic communication ability, it wouldn't be so troublesome." ”

The disappointment on Mike's face disappeared, and he actually thought about it seriously, then shook his head and pointed to the old phone on Zack's desk, "Sometimes I wish I could put this ability on the table, fix it, and play by myself." Or just ......" Mike reached for the earpiece, a beep came from the earpiece, Mike looked at the thing in his hand and pursed his lips, then gently put it back, "hang up like this." ”

Zach blinked, Mike was an amazing guy. (To be continued......)
