002 Compromise
Anthony leaned helplessly in his chair, " Ryan! You have to be more flexible! Not everyone needs to be buried! You can use the cremation, instead!"
The vampire's eyes instantly turned red! cremation? Do you know why the guillotine and firing existed in the Middle Ages? Because this is the only way that humans knew how to kill vampires! Vampires, like all nonhumans, fear the flames.
And cremation, which was what reduced Ryan's funeral industry today. The 'trend' that death does no longer need to occupy the land, suddenly emerged in recent years, and even the coffin was unnecessary. A small metal can, is the last place to live in!
Ryan from the heart of this new term thought his employees will not accept, especially Alice, she is a mourning demon-black witch. died at the stake witch is no less than vampires!
Ryan frowned, his eyes faded, and his hand holding the paper had wrinkled the paper. He knew that it was the only thing that Anthony could do.
"What about the other funeral businesses?"Ryan asked, and the document was a notice to privatize all of the funeral industries. Yes, in Porto, there were still 'brave' humans competing with vampires, and the ignorant were fearless, and that meant.
"Allen, Ford... funeral homes, you want to survive in human society."Anthony looked at Ryan and sighed," It is the only way. After a year, the Mayor is re-elected. I will not stay in this position forever!"
Ryan folded the documents, put them in his pocket, and looked at Anthony: " I saved you on the battlefield, and you gave me the idea, but now I will keep my own choice."It seemed that the vampire had finally realized that human life was not suitable for him, and had to choose to face his nature... only strange, he was just expressing his dissatisfaction.
The knock rang, Anthony answered, and the door was pushed open. beautiful Gina leaned forward and pressed on the eaves, the third button of her coat was pulled, and Anthony's eyes difficultly moved away from her female secretary to the incoming soldier.
"Mayor!"The soldier reported quickly after the salute:" The Senator is still waiting!"
Anthony nodded and motioned to the soldiers to go out first.
Today we welcomed an evening party for two senators from —— Massa, the state of Porto, for the privatization of the government-run funeral industry. Anthony came back after dinner and brought her female companion, Gina, and continued to the party.
As the soldier left, Anthony motioned to Gina, and the female secretary nodded and closed the door again. For today, she made a new evening dress.
Ryan noticed the very unusual matching of guns around the soldier's waist. After the war, the weapon with great lethal ability was banned from wearing worn. Even for the defense of the Senate, it was strange to openly bring the gun into City Hall.
"Is the security very bad right now?"Ryan asked Anthony, who had gone to strip and change.
Anthony looked at the phone on his desk. " It's not a line problem yet. Porto communications have been off for almost a week and we haven't found where the line was broken. Senators are guys who want to run for governor, and they value their lives."
Ryan shook his head, his old mind against the politics of human society. But he reminded Anthony before he left, " Remember to protect yourself!"
Anthony snorted and pinned a small revolver to his side as Ryan watched. Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly in the silver reflection, the silver gun, and bullets, and it is a deadly weapon to the vampire.
Ryan smiled helplessly, opened the door, and left the Mayor's office.
It would be ridiculous if Anthony could be Ryan's vampire umbrella and Ryan just received the money from the city every month! Anthony was the barrier between Ryan and the outside vampire family, and more specifically, the barrier of the vampire Ancestor family! Our vampire protagonist has a very old surname!
Ryan left the town hall, with the thin rain still lingering. The buildings across the street were brightly lit and the road was full of traffic. Members of Porto's upper-class society would not give up the opportunity to make friends with future governors.
Ryan kept the brim down, with his hands in his coat pocket, and strode toward the South district. It was 8 pm and the Porto bus was closed when the sunset. Ryan wanted to use his speed as a vampire and run into a black shadow. But it was near Town Hall, and the bright lights did not allow him to. Our protagonist was a vampire who wanted to integrate into human society but don't forget this, he wanted to hide his identity as a supernatural life.
Wet and cold are not what vampires like. Vampires are also constant temperature 'creatures', but the temperature is much lower than when they were humans, so the cold for ordinary people is a normal temperature for vampires. Normal temperature means no feeling, and vampires don't like environments that leave themselves feeling free, which makes them dull, at least Ryan dislikes it.
So after he walked two streets, he hid in a grocery store selling tobacco, alcohol, coffee, and small things.
The shopkeeper took a look at the black dress with very white skin and then pointed to the rear shelves, where different styles of umbrellas hung.
Ryan shook his head and pointed to the container behind the owner, " A pack of cigarettes."
The shopkeeper turned and pulled out a bag of ten doll (currency) cigarettes. Ryan immediately shook his head. " No, four or five dolls (currency) cigarettes, thank you."
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and withdrew a pack of cigarettes, and Ryan handed him a ten bill. The shopkeeper pulled open the drawer and close it. Ryan's hand was still stretched out in front of the owner, the vampire was reminding him, that there were fifty cents?
The shopkeeper was motionless and staring at our vampires.
Ryan gave up and withdrew his hand to draw out a copy of today's newspaper at the counter. The Porto Daily newspaper was worth 50 cents.
In this way, in the owner's disdain eyes, the vampire Ryan waited until the rain stopped. It was a sparse spring rain, the night sky was soon clear, and the sky appeared a full moon.
Ryan walked out of the grocery store, and he had to rush back today. If he doesn't send Benjamin tomorrow morning, the werewolf might not talk to Ryan for half a month!
For vampires, if a werewolf looks at you without talking. Instinctively, the vampire would only think it is because of one thing, and the werewolf is judging —— whether you are good or not.
A slight hum came, and Ryan looked at the corner, a woman with heavy makeup, revealing dress, sitting sideways against the street lamp, and the man swearing from the nearby bar. Ryan's light green eyes were some red, don't forget, Ryan was a hungry vampire, and 'food' seemed to have lost its consciousness, confused by alcohol.
