Chapter 24 Circle
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
One person squinted his eyes tightly, his entire face was red and twisted, and it was obvious that the effects of the ‘Bomb Shot’ had begun to appear, “You are not a newcomer, you can only be considered to be re-emergence or replacement.”
Zach noticed that this person’s face was still very young, about thirty or so. He probably hadn’t experienced the era of Old Grande and Hank, because even Zach himself had never experienced it.
The man was obviously a little drunk, and looked at Zach with a smile, “Quinn and Barton have both asked me to investigate you. Hehe.”
Zach smiled as though he understood, and was not offended. He had known it a long time ago, but now he finally matched all the details. If the other party asked Grande what kind of commission he had received, then it would be offensive. But people here obviously wouldn’t make such mistakes. They could gossip, comment on customers, and reach a consensus regarding the opinion about someone like a union. For example, Zach had now seen that no one liked Quest. But they could not disclose the details of the commission.
“How is that newcomer.” Zach was interested in this and asked Noor.
Noor frowned and smiled helplessly, “haven’t met before. Maybe someone over there introduced Quest to him. It’s impossible for this guy to hire anyone in Barton City!”
“Is it that bad?” Zach smiled.
“Ha!” Another somewhat older person laughed, “Zach, you should have come earlier. Probably old Hank, that guy did not introduce it! If you had come early, you would’ve known that Quest is on the blacklist! No one will accept his commission! Not even the ‘general’!”
Zach looked at the only man who Noor introduced by the nickname, and since he was mentioned in the conversation, Zach smiled at him to greet him. The “General” also nodded with a smile.
The connection was even clearer now. When Mrs. Barton introduced Grande to Mr. Hermann, it was actually to finish off Kyle’s investigation. The reason that Hermann introduced Grande to Quest, now it seemed that no one would work for this guy.
“What did he do?” Zach showed curiosity.
Everyone looked disgusted, Noor patted Zach on the shoulder and said vaguely, “It’s almost what you have experienced. Quest will make everyone who works for him hates him.”
Zach pursed his lips and accepted the statement, and stopped asking, but was curious why Noor accepted Quest’s commission, “Why did you accept his commission?”
“I owed his family a favor a long time ago. His father once helped me.” Noor’s gaze drifted away for a moment, and he smiled, “I am just returning a favor.”
Zach thought about it. It was conceivable that Noor had also gone out to find Neil and Tiffany. After nothing had been gained, he rejected Quest’s commission, and then Quest found the Grande family. Picking up the new glass, Zach smiled and said, “Then you are finally able to completely get rid of them now. Congratulations.”
“Haha! Thank you.” Noor smiled and raised the glass. After the glass was emptied, it was turned upside down on the glass table.
The new round was served, and Zach picked up another glass, “Pray for the newcomer.” He hadn’t asked for any information about the newcomer, but because of Noor’s words, he was more interested-this newcomer didn’t seem to be from Barton.
“Oh! Slow down, slow down!” Noor shook his head. This was not a weak alcohol drink for toasting at a real banquet, but a mix of various spirits! Drinking this fast, he couldn’t handle it. He smiled and pressed Zach’s hand holding the glass, “You have to slow down, I know that you are good at drinking. But do pray for him! Haha…”
Zach smiled and didn’t make it difficult for Noor, and asked casually, “Is Quest still investigating Daniel?”
Noor shrugged, “If he is smart, he should give up this line! The poor newcomer will probably be tortured by Neil and Tiffany again!”
When the people on the sofa saw the two talking about something more private, they consciously talked to others. Or ‘intently’ watching the performance ahead; without them realizing it, short skirts, trousers, coats… and other clothes had already been thrown aside, revealing the fair skin of those women.
They had already discovered that someone was paying attention to them, so they temporarily stopped the dance. Leaning against the sofa, their soft waists twisted seductively, arousing the lower abdomen of the men on the sofa. When they bent to a right angle, the folded banknote would be stuffed into their cleavage. Occasionally, some paws would try to linger on their bodies, they would simply patted off their hands and wagged their fingers to remind them, “Be a gentleman~”
Zach said with regret, “I really set a bad precedent.”
“It’s not your fault.” Noor shook his head, “Quest doesn’t want to believe the police, what can we do. But today they have been sent to the sanatorium, at least no innocent guy will be involved.”
When Lola said it, Zach thought it would take a few days, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon.
“We can only wish the newcomers good luck.” Zach seemed to say regretfully, “Will he stay in Barton? Or is it just a trip?”
Noor shook his head, “I don’t know, I haven’t met the person yet. It’s just Quest…” Noor pouted with a helpless expression. It was obvious that he and Quest’s ending was not very happy, “deliberately disclosed. In his mind, our work is just like buying a cup, and he thinks it will make us compete with each other and reduce the price. ”
Zach shook his head, there seemed to be something wrong with Quest’s character. Seeing that Noor also didn’t know any detailed information, Zach stopped talking about this issue and looked at other people. Noor only gave the simplest introduction, and Zach needed to learn about their respective jobs in communication. In a career that could not be discussed openly, this could be regarded as respect.
“I heard that Quest has attracted a lot of attention now.” There were some hidden meanings in Zach’s eyes, which came from James’ reminder. Zach just guessed that Noor’s investigative methods were a bit aggressive, which caught James’s attention. Such as Daniel’s teenage friend.
Noor smiled, “Then you have to ask the ‘General’, I just asked him to help investigate, and he became a little too enthusiastic, haha!”
Hearing they were talking about him again, the ‘General”s sight was pulled back, and he looked at Noor with a smile, and said with a smile, “Then I won’t help you next time.”
“Do be like that.” Noor shook his head and looked at Zach again, “Grande used to be different from what you are doing now. If someone wanted to make someone disappear completely, they would look for the old Grande. Although, you seem to be able to do the same thing.”
Zach raised his eyebrows. So this was the reason why the old cemetery records had names in the side note section. Zach nodded a smile. Grande’s cemetery was still there. If someone wanted to make someone disappear, they could still look for them.
“‘General’, you can tell him yourself.” Noor completed the introduction and turned his attention to the performance.
The ‘General’ looked at Zach, smiled, and raised the glass, “If there is something ‘bad’ that needs to be done and you don’t want to be responsible for it, such as threats, teaching someone a lesson, stealing, etc., you can come to me, I have all kinds of people. I will never let things lead back to you.”
He also handed over a business card and Zach took it. It was the name of a bar in the southeast of the Northern District. Zach smiled and nodded. No wonder… Even if the hooligans there were arrested, they would only be locked up by Barton police for two days, then they would be released. Joining this circle was really great.
