Chapter 144: Chapter 13 Noor
Translator: Doggotranslation
With his shoulders twitching due to pain, Quest still glared at Zach, his hatred and angry eyes made Zach shake his head helplessly. Zach couldn’t help but curl his lips. The vampire didn’t like ‘clingy’ guys, not to mention that the person was not the type that Zach liked.
In Quest’s horrified eyes, Zach put down the wine glass and reached out his hand to pull Quest’s right hand. In the knuckles clicking sound, the twisted joints were snapped back to their original positions. Perhaps because it was really sudden the last time, and Quest’s emotion was not able to change in time, so he only let out a short painful groan. But this time he was prepared, when he saw Zach reach his hand out, he uttered the same painful cry like a little girl.
But fortunately, the pain was finally subsiding, and it was no longer the dull pain that seemed to be coming out of the bone marrow. Quest’s constantly twitching cheeks also returned to normal.
“Mr. Quest!” Zach’s bow stopped halfway, showing that he no longer had respect for the person in front of him, “I don’t want to ask again, it’s been long enough.”
Quest looked at Zach fiercely, took a check from his clothes, and threw it on the desk. Zach picked up the check and looked at the number on it in disdain, wondering if there was a zero missing. Welp, Quinn, Barton, and Hermann had a bad influence on Zach.
However, Zach didn’t really do anything anyway, and he even pointed Quest in the wrong direction. It actually made me wonder when this guy would be able to find out this.
The peer who went out to investigate soon came back. After all, the Grande family’s house wasn’t a big place; it wouldn’t take a lot of time to check all the places. Of course, the more important reason was that Barton’s granddaughter was standing in the corridor on the second floor; the backyard and Benjamin’s warehouse could be seen clearly at a glance. But when he wanted to go on and look at the warehouse that seemed to have just been repaired, the man saw his ‘senior’.
“What are you looking for?” Old Hank was as stern as ever, holding a woodworking plane in his hand, glaring at the man who had just walked out of Benjamin’s warehouse.
The man smiled and gestured, “I’m looking for a man named Daniel.”
“Never seen him!” Old Hank turned his head and continued to cut the wooden boards on the workbench. Half of this was a lie. After all, when he was surrounded by hordes of hellhounds, the old man was not sure what that colorful glow was, so it was understandable.
The man nodded and returned to the House.
After returning to the office, he didn’t pay attention to the surprised look in Quest’s eyes; of course, he was wondering how it could be so fast. The man whispered something in Quest’s ear. Although Zach heard clearly, he didn’t show any expression.
Quest looked at Zach angrily, his chest rising and falling, and the skin above his neck was flushed. Zach poured himself a glass of ‘wine’ again, acting casually, as if he didn’t care. Quest’s chest rose and fell more severely, and the blood vessels under his skin were more obvious. It was a vicious downward spiral.
“You should leave now.” Zach looked at the liquid in the glass, “This is the end of our transaction.” The light green eyes raised to look at Quest.
Quest stood up, his right hand still clenched unnaturally. He turned around and walked outside the office without saying a word.
The man, who has never given out his name, smiled at Zach after Quest left the office, took out a business card, and handed it out. Zach took it with a smile, and took out a Grande business card from the drawer next to the desk, and handed it out. This was Grande’s old business card, and it was the old phone that could directly get through to Zach.
The man glanced at his business card and put it away, “In order not to be troublesome in the future, can I ask a question?”
“Of course.” Zach heard a car horn outside the Grand House. Obviously, Quest was urging, but the two people in the room didn’t care about this client, “you may ask anything.”
The man smiled, “Daniel is really...” The man didn’t finish, because he knew nothing about this person, and he couldn’t define Daniel. The only thing he knew was the reason why Quest pursued Grande so persistently,
The hateful thing was that Grande had a rule of not disclosing any information.
Zach raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face was ambiguous. He thought for a while and decided to use the misunderstanding of Quest – the Grande deliberately split the requests into several smaller ones to make more money.
Zach picked up the business card he had just received, [Noor Rapayet’s Office], “Mr. Rapayet...”
“Noor, just call me Noor.” The peer smiled and said. Quest was still honking the horn in the car, but this peer didn’t seem to worry about it.
Zach stood up, the blood on his body poured into the outstretched right hand. He held the opponent’s hand, smiled, and nodded, “Noor, you can call me Zach.” Both of them ignored Quest’s horn and sat down again. Zack continued, “Noor, have you seen Neil and Tiffany?”
Noor, who was less than forty years old, was tall, but not as sturdy as Benjamin and James. He was about the same as Zach and belonged to the body type that was just about right. His dark, neatly combed hair had a few strands of grayish hair on the site. Judging from the strength of the handshake just now, he had quite some strength. Zach could see that this was a man who was very agile but not lacking in explosive strength.
Noor nodded, “So I admire it very much, Gran... Zach, how are you able to get any information in that kind of situation.” There was a hint of helplessness in Noor’s eyes. Now we know who was responsible for the injuries of Neil and Tiffany’s servants. Obviously, the picture at the time was not beautiful.
Zach pursed his lips and smiled, raising an eyebrow to look at Noor. “When we went, Quest dispelled the servants, and we were the only ones facing them in the suite by the pool. Are you too?”
Noor watched Zach’s expression, raised his eyebrows, smiled, and shook his head, “No, there were Mr. Quest and some servants.”
Now let the lies hidden between the words ferment themselves. Zach deliberately made the other person think that Grande didn’t try to ask anything at all. He smiled apologetically, “Sorry, we gave Quest the wrong standard, and the two should not be untied. The police have made such a judgment already, so we were not going to verify it. ”
Noor nodded helplessly, his guess was the same. Daniel should have been a victim too, it was just a distracting name that Grande deliberately created. This method was often used in this industry. As for the reason,
Noor’s eyes drifted away, thinking, and when he looked at Zach again, he said, “We did some investigations. This Daniel was also missing at that point in time, and you only started looking for this person after accepting the commission.” He carefully controlled his tone so that Zach didn’t feel that this was offensive.
Zach nodded. It didn’t matter if Daniel’s teenage friend said this, any judgment or misunderstanding could be accumulated a bit by it.
It was not surprising that Grande would look for Daniel in advance to prepare for the next commission at the end of the phased commission. After all, the Grande’s purpose was to make money. The time when Grande actually found Daniel was uncertain.
Noor speculated that Grande found the missing Daniel before receiving the second commission from Quest, and determined that the commission could not continue. When accepting the second commission, according to Quest’s description, Grande did show signs of rejection. But Quest, who had no clues in his hands, firmly believed that Grande had hidden the clues, and ‘facts’ proved that it was true.
This was the most reasonable reasoning made by Noor with the wrong guidance. Like Neil and Tiffany, Daniel did not bring any information to Grande. Grande already knew that this commission had reached a dead end. So if they wanted to stop and give out a person whose identity couldn’t be confirmed, and let the client solve it himself.
Quest couldn’t force Detective James Rance, but could only force Grande to accept subsequent commissions. But Grande already had a countermeasure. After arriving at Quest’s manor, he acted in a play, threw out the clue that he had entered a dead end, and walked away.
Zach was very satisfied with Noor’s flat tone. It did not make him feel that he was questioning the way the Grande handled this commission, “We thought we might be able to get something.” Zach spread his hands, with a hint of helplessness on his face, “well, we indeed get something.” He picked up the check given by Quest and waved it.
Noor has already seen the number, and now he had to think about whether he should also find a way to get out. With the current progress and the reference on the Grande check, it would be nice to get one-third of the amount.
If Noor was not thinking about money but entirely the interests of the client, then he would not be doing this business but would be a policeman. So please don’t judge the character of this middle-aged man.
Noor nodded to Zach and stood up, “The Grande Funeral Home is on the southern border of Barton City. After wasting this much time, Daniel should have left Barton City long ago. Right? ”
“Sigh.” Zach sighed with a smile, “I guess so. It is really a pity. Please pass my sympathy to Mr. Quest. ” The two shook hands again and bid farewell.
Zach looked at Noor’s back, and the business card of Noor Rapayet’s Office, which he had planned to throw away, was put into the drawer.
Noor was a nice guy and did not ask any questions that would offend Grande, such as: When Grande found Neil and Daniel, what clue did they find that led to Daniel? Why Grande let Daniel go, and how deeply James Rance was related to this matter...
These issues were all internal issues of Grande, and the two peers accepting the same commission would have created a conflict of interest. But Noor was very mindful and followed the context of what he thought was correct, avoiding topics would cause conflict between the two peers.
As for how the business between Noor and Quest would end, it was not Zach’s concern.
After Noor left, Zach looked at Daniel, who had been floating in the office, “I miscalculated, Quest was here. But I didn’t fulfill what I said before and let you deal with those who invaded Willie’s house at will.”
Daniel’s face slowly returned to a mixture of Alice’s “Firefly” and “Grande”. This was because he was controlling the change. “It’s fine.” He shook his head and smiled, he could understand the actions of the vampire.
The vampire could do anything to Quest recklessly. The relationship between Grande and the people in the Barton Western District was very special. He must be careful about everything he did. After all, distorting people’s will sounded much worse than healing injuries.
