Under the dark green cloth shed, the satisfied Benjamin crushed the last crab claw that was already empty, and in the light click, Alpha raised his head comfortably, stared at the cloth shed above his head, and then threw away the fragments of his hand, patting his full abdomen.

Zach looked at the crumbs and the messy table, which was why there was so little seafood on Grande's table, and Benjamin's meals were always too extravagant to eat food that could be stuffed into his mouth, otherwise it would be a very uncomfortable process to clean up.

Zach looked at Mike, who had been in a daze, "Is it done over there?"

Mike seemed to be awakened and adjusted his posture, "It's going to take a while, it's a bit much." ”

Zach tilted his head sideways, beckoned to the waiter, dangled his fingers on the table, and motioned for the other party to clean them up, "Beer, thank you." ”

They are waiting.

Since Zach asked Anthony for his opinion, it had to be adopted. Now Yuri's manor in the West End is adding tapes unnoticed by anyone.

 \anshu)(ba).; Once Crowley has finished planting the scheme, Zach will head straight to Smith to draw an end to the commission, which has been circling since the beginning.

As for Smith's possible revenge on Yuri, we can only hope that Lola will be able to separate friendship from adult business and not affect Alice.

The beer mug in front of him was covered in foam and overflowing, and the picture on the table was even more messy. The waiter gave a disgusted look and ignored Zack's request to clean up. The vampire helplessly pushed for a long time before moving a small clean area.

Waiting was boring, and after Anthony left, the three of them ran out of topic. Zach knocked on the cup boringly, looking for the topic, "When we put all the blame on Yuri, what method is Crowley going to use to continue threatening Smith." ”

Although, as Zach saw. The dealers on the periphery have been replaced by demons, but apparently this is nowhere near Crowley's standards. What she needed was a method that could influence Smith's core decision-making.

"The tape that went to Yuri wasn't complete. Mike's answer was unexpectedly fast, leaving Zach helpless, which meant that Crowley had already thought of a countermeasure, "She's also waiting for your decision, Quest or Yuri." After you decide, she will arrange for someone to do the rest of the work. ”

"The back?" Zach wondered. Smiled and asked, "Do these Crowleys allow you to sue me?"

Crowley has long stated that she will not give up control of Smith, but Zach didn't ask how to do it, after all, everyone has different purposes. All Zach needs is to find out who is behind the scenes, and Crowley, who is behind the scenes, needs to stay behind the scenes, but with a coexistence agreement, the two parties can only compromise with each other, Zack needs a scapegoat, and Crowley has one more trouble.

"Yes. Mike smiled. "She said that since you have found out, there is no point in hiding it. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "So, if Smith hadn't commissioned us, was she going to hide it all the time?" and looked at Mike with a smile, "What else are you doing where I can't see?"

Mike's face was a little embarrassed and he thought about it. "Where would you look?"

Zach silently recited Mike's rhetorical question in his mind and understood the meaning. Shook his head helplessly. What do you need to see in a funeral home on the edge of Barton? Crowley, who came from hell, lives in Barton City with a purpose, and Grande's purpose seems to be just a better living environment like other ordinary citizens. That's all.

"Does Crowley have anything to explain?" Zach returned to the original topic, since he already knew that Crowley had follow-up arrangements, then the necessary cooperation had to be done, otherwise once there was a loophole in the commission, it would still be Grande who was required for after-sales service. Zach didn't want to follow Smith. Fill in the gaps for him.

Mike's expression was scattered, the inky black in the iris rolled, and the occasional red light flashed, but in this noon sun, it was difficult to notice.

After a few moments, Mike's expression recounted, "Crowley said, it's all arranged, but if you're willing to say to Smith, 'Someone traded the tape to find Yuri,' then she'd be very grateful." ”

Zach smiled, still don't expect much sincerity in his words.

But Mike's words are straightforward enough, and you can already see what Crowley is doing. 'Trading Tapes' means that Yuri's tapes are open to the public. Even if the commission is over and Smith's crisis is not resolved, there are still people who hold his secrets!

Zach thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and deliberately brought a playful tone, "But Grande's rules are not to reveal the process, sorry." ”

Mike looked at the vampire earnestly, "Thank you very much. ”

Zach smiled helplessly and didn't answer again.

Crowley didn't let the three of them continue to blow the wind by the harbor for too long. After both sides were ready, Zach squinted at the gray sky in his sunglasses, the point of light diagonally from the center to one side still made the vampire a little uncomfortable, "Let's go, Smith Manor." ”

The wagons drove out of the port of Massa and headed west along the Charles River, which connects the two districts, into the Western End.

The manors in the West End are arranged in the same way as their masters, from west to north, from Quinn, Barton, to Quest, how realistic.

Zach tilted his head, and as soon as he entered this place of great reality, Quest's manor was hidden in the faint shadows of the trees, and he disappeared from sight for a moment. Not knowing what he was thinking, Zach pursed his lips and urged Benjamin to hurry up.

Smith's estate is regular, with a simple and flat lawn in the front yard, separated by a neat log lane at the edges. There is no homage to Indo-Anan culture like Quininn, nor is it as gorgeous as Barton. Of course, there is no modern art like Quest and James that is difficult for Zach to understand.

The butler at the main entrance took Grande's brother inside, and along the way, there were no famous paintings, no statues, no decorations, only delicate sconces and textured brown wood floors, and the sound of footsteps in the corridor. It feels weird, like it's a castle that has been emptied.

Not even the servants saw a few.

Reminds Zach of the lonely aristocracy of a distant era. But judging from the deposit he left yesterday when Smith personally visited, he was still very, very far from being lonely.

Passing through the hallway without any bends, the wide door was pushed open in the middle, and when it opened, Smith's desk was right in front of the view.

Smith sat behind him, put down his pen and looked up with a smile. Looking at the two people who came in, "You're here." ”

It's an office, and it seems that there is no adjective that matches Smith's last name, except for its spaciousness. Behind the desk in the center is the large windowsill, and to either side is the only bookcase that is filled, and the only thing that does not conform to the symmetry in this space is the circular sofa on one side and the glass round table next to it, and a bottle of champagne is frozen in a metal wine barrel.

"Sue me. We have a reason to open this bottle of champagne. Smith pulled out the champagne and smiled at the two.

Zach smiled and nodded, "We have." ”

Smith raised an eyebrow and smiled even more, and after the crash, the sound of liquid pouring into the wine glass rang out. Zach and Benjamin sat down on the couch at Smith's gesture and took the wine.

Smith walked across from the two of them, raised his glass, and smiled sincerely. "Please understand my feelings. He drank it all in one gulp, and Zach naturally didn't mind, and if he thought about it from Smith's point of view, he could know that the whole thing was putting pressure on him.

What's more, now Zach also knows that this happened before he was about to clear his name.

Zach took a sip and put down his glass, smiling at Smith as well. "Just let me get straight to it. Maybe you're not surprised by the results. "The vampires have begun to pave the way.

"Wouldn't you be surprised?" Smith repeated with the empty glass in his hand, and sat down in front of the two of them. He made a serious expression, "Please speak." ”

"Yuri. "Zach is crisp.

Before Smith's expression could change anything, Zach continued, "We didn't move anything, but you pay attention to things here. Zach pulled out a folded piece of paper, which Mike had written. Where Crowley planted the tape at Yuri's, Zach didn't bother to look at it, and now handed it directly to Smith.

Smith opened it and glanced at it, his lips moving. Apparently the address was written down.

Smith looked injurious, and he quickly got up and walked out of the office, and began to explain to the butler who had been waiting outside. Naturally, the sound was not loud, but for the two people in the office, it really didn't make sense. Zach and Benjamin exchanged glances helplessly, Smith really didn't waste time at all, listening to his explanation, as if he had the momentum to crush Yuri.

When he came back again, Smith's face was full of lightness, and he walked to the couch with a smile.

"If you want to say thanks. Zach smiled and stood up, "Not yet." ”

Smith's smiling face didn't change, but raised an eyebrow, thought about it, shook his head helplessly and walked quickly to the desk, signed a check very quickly, and turned to look at Zach again, "Now, can I say a word of thanks?" Apparently he misunderstood something.

Zach was amused by Smith's empathy, but he shook his head anyway. However, the vampire took the check very consciously, "I should be the one who thanked me." Zach transferred the check to Benjamin, who was curious about the amount, "You don't have the slightest hint of wanting to know the details like your former employer. I am grateful for this trust. ”

Smith's smile was heavier, and he nodded slightly, still making a gesture of thanks, "I can say that to you as well." ”

Zach tilted his head and took the thanks, "Before I go, I wonder if you'd like to hear my reminder?"

Smith's expression froze for a moment, but he immediately shook his head and smiled, "I heard Mrs. Patton say that you have this habit. You say. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, which is true, and Zach also reminded Kyle of this.

"Check that all the tapes are complete. Zach looked at Smith with a 'sincere' look as if he was embarrassed, "That's the only thing I can say." ”

Smith's face really changed at this moment, he opened his mouth, and finally kept the Grande rules, "Thanks for the reminder, I will." ”

Since Mike emphasized that he was 'very grateful', Zach happily took it. (To be continued......)
