The quiet church suddenly became noisy, which meant that the speech was over and the funeral began a temporary intermediate period, that is, the time for the guests to socialize freely. The hum of a large number of people talking at the same time pierced the walls and reached the backyard, just in time for Taylor to stop finally finishing thinking and walking towards Zack and preparing to say something.

Zach had a smile on his face, he was waiting for when Taylor would take the initiative to come to him, but it certainly wouldn't be now, such a complete 'rally' on Barton's upper floor, Zach would not miss it. Zach stood up and nodded at Taylor, "We have a chance. ”

Taylor could only purse his lips and withdraw from Zach's line of sight.

As soon as he entered the church, he only had time to make eye contact with Danny, the phantom who had quickly arranged for the transfer of the coffin and was ready to be buried, when Zach felt a beam of gaze poke at him. It's Anthony.

After yesterday's meeting, Zach knew that there would be a period where Anthony would formally introduce their relationship in front of others.

Zach walked to Anthony's crowd, saluting old acquaintances like Quinn and Mrs. Patton along the way. A small detail is that Zach deliberately avoided everyone in the Sharp family, and it has a little to do with Schelle's complaint about Zach and Louise's relationship, but it is more redundant. The four members of the Bisharp family don't seem to be socially active right now, and each of them has 'Don't come near me' written on their faces, automatically shielding those who approach.

Now I am afraid that there are guests who are sincerely saddened by Jackson's loss, and there is no chance to express regret. Leave the family alone.

The object of Anthony's real conversation is also very targeted, with Blake standing next to him, directly stopping the people of the Stone family. Think about it, in the political world, when showing any relationship to the outside world, the most direct way is to notify the politician family. In this way, all parties can get the news as quickly as possible, easily and conveniently.

"Zach. Mayor Anthony casually, as if he had just seen the visitor, stretched out his hand as if familiar, and patted Zach on the shoulder, "You're here." Well, nice funeral. "And then a look like you're ready to go.

Zach could only raise an eyebrow at Blake. Honestly turned around and prepared to go. But, of course, it won't really go like this!

Things have come to such a point that the competition for the mayoral race has reached the point where every resource must be sought! Not to mention Grande, who stabbed out the big incident of the Hermann factory! Grande is not a small resource!

So, Stone's elders, that is, Blake's parents (the old men of the grandparents were in the circle of Barton and Mrs. Quinn, and Anthony was naturally looking for the person who was now in charge), and the man and Mr. Stone spoke. "Oh, are Mr. Mayor and Mr. Grande familiar?"

"This one is unfamiliar. Anthony simply denied it, "It's just a matter of knowing." Then he suddenly remembered something and looked at Zach, "By the way, why didn't you see Benjamin." ”

Don't forget Mr. Grande, there are two! Anthony's words are already obvious, he knows another Mr. Grande!

Anthony had clearly prepared the script, and Zach just had to cooperate.

"Oh. Such, he went to Newton. I participated in a comic con with a friend. ”

"Comic Con?" Anthony shook his head as if bored, "with James?"

Zach was going to assist, "Yes, Mr. Mayor. They, the veterans, like to have a 'small group' and leave everyone else to play on their own. Then Zach seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing. "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor, I forgot that you too. ”

Anthony waved his hand, seemingly not minding at all.

Of course not, that's the core essence of his plan. Zach also overassisted!

Sort of explained to Mr. Stone, "James, that's Lance's little one. Even when he mentioned General Lance, who was famous in the entire Federation, it was in a casual tone, "Being a detective at the North District Police Department, my grades are average." The West End should have heard some things about him, Paisying Station, Herman's son, he did a few cases. ”

The message has been reached that there are two things - the mayor has a close relationship with Greland, a red man in the gray professional circles, and this relationship is very close because of the 'veteran's origin' connection!

The mayor's words have apparently begun to shift the subject.

Sure enough, Mr. Stone was not stupid at all, and received the message, and immediately followed the mayor's words, and continued, "Well, I heard of it, James Lance. If I remember correctly, Herman's son's case was his first case, and the young man was still very good. ”

Look, the topic is easily moving from Grande to the point, but at this time, there is nothing to do with Zack, and Zack's interest slowly disappears automatically.

When he stepped back, the conversation between the mayor and Stone continued.

"It's okay, but I'm worried about Herman's health, after all, he's older. Anthony's voice, "It's only been half a year, first I lost my son, and now the factory exploded...... "It's not a little surprising, that's the point."

Of course, Zach had to listen and see more, and the vampire's senses were so extraordinary that it was very convenient for his voyeurism to be completely unnoticed.

"Me too. With a slight concern that he didn't know if it was true or not, Mr. Stone's voice said, "I was expecting to see him at last dinner, but it was a pity that it was suddenly canceled, and now we can't contact him." ”

Zach, who gradually retreated, raised an eyebrow, "Was the dinner party called by Herman yesterday?"

However, it is understandable that the news of the closure of Herman's factory has been dug up by James, and these upper-level people should also know that the last dinner, whether it is to save Herman or plan for the future, is possible.

Then there is only one question left, why did Emilia ......

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, temporarily shook off the somewhat off-topic question, and continued to listen.

Anthony seemed direct, just paused slightly and glanced at Blake, "I think Blake has conveyed some of my concerns......"

Zach had to scold the useless Jackson again.

Jackson only knew that Blake had been sent back to Stone Manor, and apparently before he went, Anthony had confessed some things, which were obviously related to Herman's factory explosion, but Jackson not only didn't know, but he hadn't gone to the manor with Blake yet.

Zach chose the direction casually, but his attention was still locked on Anthony's side, and he was about to move on to the key content.

Mr. Stone was silent for a moment, his voice lowered, this has no effect on our vampire Zack, everything that should be heard, word for word, will enter Zack's ears!

But-

"Grande. ”

Zach's gaze had to turn to the person who was opening. (To be continued......)
