Vol 18 Chapter 20: General Lance

It is common sense that a prestigious general comes to a small city of Patton and will be greeted by a grand honour. But the fact is that two people are waiting at the exit of Becky Station, one Kate and one Zac.
"Don't James come?"
"He's coming, in another street, a murder case."
Zac raised an eyebrow. "He's still working at this time?"
"It's exactly this time." Kate seemed to have no confidence in his fiancé at all. "If there are no cases, I suspect he is going to make a few."
Zac laughed.
"I thought it would be the vampires who were killed by Alan funeral." Kate started a new topic.
"It should have been theirs." Zac didn't hide, "I'm coming."
"Very well, if you don't want to come over, I will shoot."
"Oh? How are you going to get General Lance from the Vampire of the Feast?"
"Yesterday you gave me the Allen acquisition mill contract, there are a few terms offset."
Zac was curious, "what offset?"
"I knew you hadn't seriously looked at the sale terms of your mill." Kate waved his hand. "It was the agreement between the mill and Allen before. In the past, Allen funerals squeezed through the mill with market costs. Later, you two did not reach a compensation agreement. Well, Allen has been paying the loss of the mill continuously. In this transaction, the mill is already Allen ’s industry, and the compensation is naturally offset. "
"Oh." Zac nodded. "And then?"
"I can take these inside stories to interview Alan's funeral ~" Kate smiled, "threatening them with the media to surrender my future legal father."
"Not bad ~"
Zac understands that Kate does not need to maintain a relationship with the Demon Feast too much. This is not to say that Kate can stand on the opposite side of the Demon Feast, but when Rut Lesenbra uses James to expose Louise through the media. At the time of its appearance, the Devil himself regarded the media of modern society as a usable tool.
As for tools, everyone knows that, while recognizing the role of a tool, we must understand its dangers. Some things do not require Kate, the reporter, to know what to threaten. The Devil's Banquet requires self-awareness.
Large crowds of people came out of the station, Kate got up and pushed Zac, "You look fast." It was Zac who identified James' father in the messy crowd.
Zac saw General Lance, and a group of casual people also saw Zac and Kate here.
Zac gestured at Kate. "You need more guests than just the future legal father."
"Of course not only." Kate was a little nervous.
"The bargaining chip for evidence of human organs ..." No need to finish, Kate can pick it up.
"It is the same for all of them, and the final landing point is the Lance family." Kate's organization is clear.
Zac nodded. "It's just that General Nalans gave it to me."
Zac left Kate and stood on the other side of the road.
The group of outgoing people saw that the people waiting for them were separated. Obviously it was a little unclear, but they did not stop out of the station. General Lance said a few words to his side and introduced his friends to them. Kate, who had already put out the brightest smile in life, walked to Zac himself.
"Meet again, Toledo."
"Grand or Zac." Zac made the name clear.
There is no need for the other party, Lance is enough to distinguish him from James in Barton, as long as there is no general suffix to attract unnecessary attention.
"It seems that my son feels no need to pick me up at all."
"He is working." Zac had plans to receive General Lance this time and led his way to his car. "It's very busy working as a detective in Barton."
"Where are we going now." When people with a certain status do anything, they tend to know their goals. There is no time to waste. Understandably.
"Meet someone from the west."
"Yeah." General Lance was obviously mistaken. "I originally thought that the vampires under Rut Lesenbull came to pick us up. Seeing that you were here, I thought I was lucky to have The gang of vampires made an official speech. It seemed that they could not hide it. "General Lance thought Zac would take him to Allen's funeral.
"Hehehe." Zach helped General Lance with his luggage and opened the car door. "Here is Barton. You need those condoms for vampires in the feast, no matter who you are."
"That's it." General Lance watched Zac while sitting in the co-pilot.
Zach also got on the bus, "As for meeting with someone, not Hamilton, I have taken care of receiving you. If you want, you will not need to see them all the time you stay in Barton."
"That's better." General Lance pressed his chest subconsciously.
Zach noticed. This matter was actually mentioned by Zach when he first met General Lance in Vega. Ignoring the human appearance of General Lance who has passed through the human age and aging, his heart is a young heart— —
What does a human group in the west abuse the organ system to obtain better human parts? Remember, the future can become a better vampire.
This small movement of General Lance shows that certain psychology has begun to take effect in the vampire heart of the Western Demon Banquet. General Lance apparently did not want to be troubled by this problem in Button.
However, Zac will not easily let go of this topic that is too worthy of discussion. "You friends just now, I can feel that somebody's body is not right."
"Is it xx?"
Gee, Zac was too lazy to remember the name.
General Lance continued, "He just changed his kidneys." Uh ... "The doctor put him in hospital for rest, but he really can't miss the chance to leave the vampires in the west." It was a gossip tone.
Zac nodded with a smile, "It seems that James' wedding is a good time ~"
"Yeah, let our old guys take a breath."
As we have discussed before, what the Magic Banquet will do to replace the organs in your body with younger and better organs will help the future of vampires.
At the time, we gave an example. If Mrs. Quinn became a vampire a few days later, with her power and resources in humans, she should not be trapped in the body of an old woman forever.
Of course, in addition to such pragmatic examples, we also discussed a deeper meaning-
The biggest difference between the inheritance of vampires and the reproduction of humans is that vampires can choose their own descendants. The thirteen clans have their own descendant standards. If you are satisfied, you are either not satisfied. Now that humans can change their body parts, there may be no major changes to the standard of the vampire descendants ... let alone the tortoise choice of Torrido cares about his appearance. Torrido also has ugliness, but he is dead ...
It is undeniable that the face of the vampires will get a revolution that was once unimaginable.
Those vampires who have regrets that cannot be changed after eternal life cannot do anything but envy the revolution that happened so late.
"Did the Vampire of the Feast react very much to the replacement of organs? I thought Rut Lesenbula had decided not to interfere with your actions."
General Lance was quiet for a while. "How to say." It seemed that he really felt a little powerless about the matter. "Vampires who are active in social activities naturally have no opinions. They all agree with Rut Lesombra's decision. But Vampires who rarely or occasionally participate in social activities have great opinions. "
"Why?" Zach felt that this could better understand the social status of the West.
"The age of human beings is very important for the images of vampires." General Lance did not seem to intend to hide anything from Zac. Such smooth dialogue should be attributed to the good impression established in Vega City-General Lance knew his son Who James relied on in Barton, "Just use me as an example. I am still a human being and a general. I have a good influence in human society, but when I become a vampire, I can only take With my influence, I slowly withdrew from human society. "
This is a fact. Old people will die, and old people will transfer their own resources to the new generation. The influence will exit and the new influence will rise. This is the rule of human development.
Zach can guess the meaning of General Lance, "If you continue to renew your organs and even appearance, the influence that you let go with your human age will continue to be in your own hands."
"Yes." General Lance nodded calmly. "For the vampires who appeared on the stage of human society as humans in their prime, this has no effect on him. His whole The identity rotation will ensure that he always has resources and influence. But for some guys who become vampires at the age of older humans, huh, this is impossible. "
Zac also nodded, "For the vampires who are older, the human identity that can be maintained is limited, and the Magic Banquet will not invest too much resources in such an identity. Vampire transition in mid-age ... "
I am afraid that everyone will not understand it. Let's take a hypothetical example for everyone to understand.
Mrs. Quinn ’s age determines that her human identity will not last, right, but Mrs. Quinn ’s human identity is very influential in human society. Let's think about it, assuming that Poki Quinn did not go with Papa at midnight, Mrs. Quinn's property would not have to be donated for charity. It can be passed on to age-appropriate Boqi to continue to operate and exert influence.
Using this hypothetical example, a resource with social influence, a vampire whose human age is too old and whose identity is invalid at any time, and a vampire of appropriate age who can maintain his identity. How to give this resource to the right vampire? The vampire that is too old for humans is used, transition.
As a vampire group that has operated in the west for four centuries, Devil Banquet is very skillful. Uh, Hidden Alliance has also played, so Zac understands it quickly.
"... Your group's practices deprived vampires that had no contribution to the Demon Banquet to show their unique value."
General Lance sighed, "I have a ten-year plan. When I ended, I wouldn't say that I could become James' brother at the age of humans, but it would definitely not be a generation away. I can complete the inheritance of the influence of the Lance family personally. What I had when I was human, I still have it after I became a vampire, and I do n’t have to let go of it. "
"Hehe." Zach smiled. "Jealousness made some people unbalanced." Zack is not afraid to offend those who are in Mo Yan are marginal guys. "You and your friends can rest assured that Patton has no such thing. vampire."
"It's not necessarily." General Lance glanced at Zac. "At least I knew that there was a vampire buried at Alan's funeral who didn't like me to continue to dominate the military resources."
Zac didn't really think about it for a while. Hamilton, they are both human beings' ability to grow up, and in terms of their current living conditions, there is no point of contention for resources like the Lance family.
"That Nenad Cappadocia." General Lance said, looking at Zac's expression.
Zac raised an eyebrow, "Oh ~" remembered, "Nenad was ordered to protect James and Weiss while they were in the army."
General Lance corrected it, "Only my son, James, and Weiss are incidental." This emphasizes that there is no problem. A general does not have to accept meaningless gratitude.
"Is the Lance family not very friendly to the Cappadocia clan."
"Unfriendliness is not counted. It's true that all the troublesome things are thrown to them." General Lance meant unintentionally, "Who called them the worst vampires in the Demon Banquet." Nothing wrong, " Gee, it's not working now. "His face gloomy." All the ancestors have appeared. Cappadocia has turned over. I don't think Cappadocia dare to go to the trouble of Vessenbra and other vampires who once bullied them. But. "His face has returned to normal." Before my ten-year plan is completed, I am still a human being. "
"Oh." Zac said nothing, just smiled. It was enough to laugh, Cappadocia was not so bored, to avenge a human family. But General Lance ’s prestige in the military is indeed beneficial to Cappadocia, who has just mastered the arms industry that is not convinced of Zmithi. General Lance used a personal grudge to think that such hidden dangers cannot be said to be wrong, but before there is no sign of things There is no need to pursue anything.
Zac ’s destination is in Becky. The drive is not far away. Zac stopped the car.
We ’re here.

"I hope this is not the place you arranged for me." General Lance got out of the car and looked at the small hotel in front of him-there was a voluptuous woman standing at the door, and the small leaflet in his hand came to him.
Zac received the flyer politely, "We're here to find someone."
"Oh." The woman walked away with little interest. Zach took General Lance in and said to the front desk, "I was the one who called Bell before."
"302." The front desk reported the room number.
"Thank you."
Zach moved on, General Lance waited for a while, "Bell? Who?"
"A detective from the Vega Police Department, using a pseudonym."
"What does it mean to show me this person?"
"I'm not taking you to see him, I'm going to see him." Zack smiled. "Sorry, I just didn't think about how to arrange you, so I will take you to handle my own affairs. "
General Lance was silent for three seconds. "Do not mind." Uh, otherwise, turn around and go.
