Deon, Zachary's grandfather, spotted him and greeted him with a rare smile. "No more trouble this time, right?" he asked.

Zachary replied, "I've been staying at my place, so how could anything happen?" He narrowed his eyes at Deon and added, "Your grandson is tough. If anyone dares to bully me, I'll fight back with full force."

Deon glanced at Zachary and said, "So you're still getting into fights?"

Zachary chuckled and said, "Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose; that's just how it goes." Quickly changing the subject, Zachary congratulated his uncle, parents, and cousin, Alani Dickson, on their recent achievements.

Alani Dickson laughed lightly and commented, "It's been years, but you're still as smooth-talking as ever."

Zachary pursed his lips and replied, "I call it charm, and charming folks get rewarded with candy." He winked at Deon and continued, "Right, Grandpa?" When Zachary was a child, his grandparents used to save candy specifically for him rather than for Alani Dickson an

    Zachary pointed towards Alani Dickson's room and exclaimed, "There's a ghost—a woman dressed in white vintage clothes, looking 17 or 18 years old." He led the family into Alani Dickson's house to catch the ghost.Alani Dickson sat at the head of the bed, still covered with a quilt, rubbing her temples due to a headache. She glanced wearily at Zachary, who was standing there, and yawned, saying, "Little brother, can you please stop being so rowdy?"Zachary felt misunderstood and defended himself, saying, "I didn't make a fuss. There was a ghost standing here, wearing all white clothes..." His voice trailed off as he pointed towards the bed, where a hat rack held a large white robe that belonged to Alani Dickson. Zachary abruptly stopped talking, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Uh... never mind. I guess it was just a bad dream!"The whole family stared at Zachary in disbelief, unsure of how to respond. Deon sighed helplessly and turned back to the house. Being a light sleeper, he knew he w

    Zachary fell silent. The sadness of the bottom rungs of society had existed since ancient times. It explained why so many people were desperate to climb to the top. He knew all of this, but now he understood it on a much deeper level. In less than half an hour, Alani arrived. Entering the door, he asked, "Did you get hurt?" "No, if I had, I would have gone to the hospital." Zachary had finally made peace with the fact that he couldn't blame his brother for not calling for help sooner. Instead, he had become the subject of mockery. Alani, who was six years older than Zachary, instinctively reached out to pat his head, asking, "Are you hurt?" Zachary pushed his jacket back, lifted the back collar, and said, "Look, there are bruises!" Alani playfully slapped Zachary on the back and said, "You, you're like a monkey. You can't get hurt!" He was relieved to see that Zachary was still alive and well. Zachary retorted, "Grandpa said you're the one who's more like a monkey." Alani walked

    At the time of registration, Zachary, the business manager, quickly caught up with the two bodyguards. He noticed that the bodyguards kept staring at him, and there was tension in the air as one of the bodyguards remained vigilant, keeping an eye on the business manager. Zachary's curiosity was piqued, and he took a moment to look around and identify the wealthy individual they were protecting. Taking a seat, he pulled the curtain, placed a magazine over his face, and pretended to sleep. Suddenly, the plane crashed, and Zachary found himself trapped in a corner with one of the bodyguards holding him hostage. He had no choice but to wait for an opportunity to escape once they left. As he observed the situation, Zachary couldn't help but feel amazed. There were indeed many affluent people in the country now. Comparing himself to the two bodyguards, he couldn't help but feel inferior. He walked slowly, giving a stunned look to the bodyguard, before finally making his way out of the plane

    If Hezekiah Head doesn't show up today and instead sends someone directly to stab Zachary and flee with the money, what would happen?

    Zachary said, "We're engaged in a conflict here at the edge of the field, causing a disturbance." As a result, Hezekiah Head is currently injured, giving his family a reason to seek revenge against both Zachary and Yaritza. Hezekiah Head assaulted Yaritza, and now they are compensating for her injuries. The sisters don't need to go overboard in their response. Zachary spoke up, "Hezekiah Head is not a good person. I will let him go. In the future, he won't dare to come after you and cause any further trouble. You should rest now. Goodnight." Yaritza called out, "Zachary." "Yes?" Yaritza said, "Be careful. Drawing too much attention can easily invite trouble. The current situation outside is still between Hezekiah Head and me. You got involved because Hezekiah Head didn't harm you and you weren't deeply involved. It's best for you to stay in the shadows. That would be better for you. Thank you for always helping me."

    "He wanted to kidnap me and apologize for what he did to me. I... I couldn't accept his apology," Zachary said. As Jared heard this, his anger surged. He grabbed his phone and called the Chief of Police, urgently reporting the detailed threats that Zachary had faced, expressing his outrage, and demanding a thorough investigation and appropriate action. Hezekiah Head had crossed the line! How dare he threaten them like this? Did he think he could easily provoke the Winthrop Family?

    Eddie Lamb's sudden arrival brought forth a wave of challenges. On the surface, it appeared that the Head Corporation was facing significant risks and obstacles. However, thanks to the remarkable efforts of Yaritza and the Winthrop family, the company continued to thrive with exceptional performance. Overcoming these hurdles necessitated the crucial financial support of Sawyer Gilbert, who assured that a solution would be available within a month, regardless of the timeline. Eddie Lamb's contributions to the business over the past two decades, as well as the enduring 40-year relationship with the Head family, must not be underestimated. After all, who would willingly part with their most valuable assets? Yet, if the impending crisis isn't resolved within two days and there's a shortfall of 30 million, investigations from external sources may further delay the process.Acquiring the required funds would not only stabilize Eddie Lamb's financial situation, but it is also worth noting th

    Zachary nodded and gestured, "Please have a seat instead of standing." The bedroom was spacious, and the bedside table was too far from the sofa. He moved aside to create space, patting the bed as an invitation for Yaritza to sit. He was feeling lazy.A pleasant fragrance wafted from Yaritza, a mix of morning freshness and a captivating scent that intoxicated Zachary. If she were a beautiful woman, he would never want to leave the bed.Yaritza asked, "Are you pretending to be mentally ill?"Zachary responded seriously, "No, why would I still be lying in bed if I were?"Yaritza bit her lip, holding back her words, and asked, "Are you just being lazy?" It was difficult to swallow. She continued, "Sawyer Gilbert is in prison and is preparing to borrow money from the bank." Her gaze fell upon Zachary's messy hair, and she felt an urge to tidy it up. The hairstyle was disheveled."Sawyer Gilbert? Who is this important person? Oh, he is Hezekiah Head's legitimate wife, the one protected by

    "... How much do you hate your leader?" The tomb keeper shook his head in an old-fashioned manner, "This amount of money is no more expensive than a life."Zachary hooked the man who was about to leave, "We're not done talking, look at this, have you seen it when you were in the antique business?"Joselyn Robles looked at them both from side to side and her smile didn't go down, "Zach there's no need to rush, since so many threads are intertwined it's most likely a secret under one karmic copy, the poison looks creepy but other than the ability to catalyze the very sight of it no other harm has been found so far, it's more of a 'link' than a poison '."Suspicious, the tomb keeper counted through the bills and was pleasantly surprised; he drew out the charm concealed in them, and the moment he saw the human-faced phoenix, his expression changed.The tomb keeper admired and put away the red ticket, "You're really something, OK, I'll keep it for you."

    Though he also felt that the old lady was making a bit of a fuss about it, and that 8 was so burnt out right now, how could he have time to interfere with them, and that Zachary would be even less able to do that when he was splitting up eight people to use them, and tossing them out of the way."The two cases are not unrelated, one could even say they are related, what Callum Luna said is true, it was 'Roderick Luna' who financed the curator of the painting exhibition, and that's not the only thing, the antique auction house a while back, the floating cloud carving that was intercepted by Vice Ramirez The silver needle, finally found in the diary sent by Ms Ara, was the very one that Dulce Hooper used to make all the blood pacts for the Gale Watts sacrifice."Callum Luna demonstrates the attitude of the Luna family, "-He who dares to desecrate God is not worthy of death."Celine Kirk, who had long since leaned against the car, shook out her skirt, "Let's just s

    "Unsolved case." Zachary didn't have much of an expression, "I've been investigating this, his death took up all my energy, it's not exactly a secret within the Way, sorry, just didn't want to get you involved."Celine Kirk grunted coldly, "Cut the crap, Sea Ring aside, since Gale Watts has a lead on Roderick Luna, the Luna's are in charge, and it's been two nights since the Gale Watts monstrous statue posed as a deity, so don't tell me that your team hasn't come up with anything."But now that Zachary just said it, he instead thought there was a hidden agenda, or else Zachary wouldn't have softened his attitude until he was sure that the spell poison was completely insurmountable.Zachary frowned when he heard a cold yet pleasant inquiry lazily coming from behind him, "Who are you?"Keenan stood aloof, looking at Lone High with a nose, and nodded along, "Zach's got a good point."After the Gale Watts case, Zachary has considered slowly pushing the

    The more Zachary thought about it, the more likely it was, and volunteered to confess his thoughts, "Are you after me?"Keenan came back from cleaning up, fleshed out and surprised, thinking he'd finally gotten the hang of it, "How so?""Because I dumped you with a whimper, and you tried to dump me back, and I cried bitter tears, so we're both barely even." Zachary blinks at him, and with a twitch of his brain, suddenly says, "How about right now."Keenan's face faded down, heart really, he leaned toward the back of the chair, his eyes some thin dangerous: "Now what, I chase you, you promise, then I dumped you, two minutes to get it done, you and I grudges two eliminated, never see each other again, is this what it means?""Of course not, then wouldn't our previous relationship be child's play?"Zachary shook his head, "No matter what I've done to break your heart, there hasn't been a single moment for the four years we've been together that I have

    Zachary typed in the password as Keenan read it, and suddenly lurched, finally realizing that the inexplicably familiar string of numbers was his birthday, "You're still on your old phone?"Zachary looked closely, the paintings in the show were all human figures, familiar with the large color stacks and twisted lines of the netherworld painting style he had read about so many times in the art room of the lab building, "Oooh, this could be a genre, the underground overdrive style?"But Dulce Hooper's soul has gone. How can a body without a soul move fraudulently?Naturally, Callum Luna's ramblings alone don't count, Zachary: "How can they be sure it's Roderick Luna?"His head was groggy from the low fever, and he had residual pain all over his body, and he didn't want to move at all, but he might have overslept a bit, and he didn't want to go back to sleep, so he started swiping at his phone.Zachary guessed that they did not dare to easily give up

    When he got up again, there was a hazy, pale light, and Zachary braced himself, and it was like he'd been run over by a car, and after the shock had passed through him, and the soreness danced in every bone, and stabbed a little bit at his joints, and his arm collapsed, and he fell back down again."It was him." Keenan phrased, "Six months after you evaporated, he was arrested for illegal proselytizing, and when I was sorting through my materials, I found a notebook I'd borrowed from him, with a piece of paper sandwiched between it with a messy yardage drawn on it, which I thought at first was draft paper, but realized it wasn't any formulas or mind maps, and when I looked at it closely there was some regularity to it, very much like some kind of writing, and which I've since turned over to the police up."He was all but as brooding as he had been when he arrived, but that oily, don't-touch-anyone-against-me asshole look was a turn-off.Then the stomach growled.

    Keenan smoothed his suit, didn't care if the steps were dirty, and sat down next to Zachary, choking on the strong smell of cigarette smoke, but Zachary's silence, which was even cloudier than the smoke, choked him even more, like a little burnt edge, a little hot, a little painful.Zachary automatically ignored Keenan's increasingly out of bounds mannerisms of late, his cold mind forming a set of logic he could best accept; he just had to act like he was in a dream.Johnathon Ramirez needless to say, although it is difficult to see the position, but it is also after he topped the Special Investigation Brigade was not disbanded, and he is in charge of the Special Investigation Brigade for so many years of the old boss, even if the crowd often behind the back of the arrangement, but also still recognize his ability, recognize the identity of the 8 of the Unified Control.Luna's family in the open that point, everyone has spread rotten, now the most hopeful heir i

The young constable, seeing this for the first time, fell to the ground in fear, his high pitched scream cutting through the night sky of the city hall and drawing in the others.Zachary, however, couldn't care less about the chaos of the bureau, and he clutched the yellow talisman, a treasure hunt he knew all too well, the glazed box that once held the nine parts of Khalil Hobbs's body, hidden away on a rainy night in the mountains of Ushant, and poured out into the madness that is him impermanence and insanity.It had taken him years to slowly climb out of the overgrown mud - at least superficially - and stop worrying those around him, but those behind him were afraid that he would be too good to be true, grabbing the hem of him orange-red dress and tugging it down to help him remember what it was like to be parted from him bitterness and hatred. .How much does he have to be hated, who did he blow up in him last life, or
