Chapter 32: Chapter 32 The Important Me

The truck slowly turned around the street corner and stopped by the roadside. In the neon of the street, this soil truck attracted the attention of many people. It was really not a good choice to follow someone with such a means of transportation, but the person being followed didn’t notice it at all. The person was Mr. Madison Cook, who had just lost his job.

Madison bought a newspaper around the corner, then found a stair to sit down, put the bag between his legs, pulled out a pen, turned over the newspaper, and started to read it in the neon sign beside the street.

“What is he doing?” Benjamin put one hand on the steering wheel and looked sideways at the target they followed.

“Barton Daily, the fourth section.” Zach observed the person’s actions: “It’s a job advertisement section. He is looking for a job.”

Sure enough, Madison started to draw in the newspaper circle with a pen.

“Why didn’t he go back to his residence and then do this?” Benjamin continued to ask.

“Hmmm...” Zach frowned, thinking for a moment: “James said that he worked at that Bar, but he did not say where he lived.”

“So, he has no place to live.” Benjamin seemed to understand something and then nodded, “What do you think of him.”

“I didn’t find anything special about him.” Zach looked at a somewhat bleak man by the road, “Did you notice anything?”

“No.” Benjamin shook his head. “But did you notice his hair? When he took off his headgear at the bar, his hair color was changing. ”

“Yes, I noticed that.” Zach nodded. “It faded from black, not obvious, but it is definitely changing.” Zach leant forward and seemed to want to see the other person’s hair under the cover of his hat.

Benjamin watched Zach’s movements, moved away his body, and gave Zach more space: “Did you see it?”

“It’s grey.” Zach frowned and straightened his body. “I can’t think of anything that would change the hair color.”

The two were silent. There were many nonhumans who had the ability to change their external image. The one that was the best in this field was naturally shape-shifters. However, the world was balanced. The more powerful the camouflage ability was, the more vulnerable it was in other aspects. For example, the power and senses of shape-shifters were the same as ordinary creatures, and they had no sense of smell. Another example was the werewolf, who had superior strength and senses, but he also must face the loss of personality once a month. Or the vampire, as long as Anthony changed his mind, he would turn into ashes...

In the minds of two people who were considered to be at the top of nonhumans society, they couldn’t think of any race that had such a weak ability.

“I don’t think he will be a threat.” Benjamin gave up thinking, “He didn’t plan to retaliate against those guys, and he is really just looking for a job, I think it is already very obvious.”

“Is it just a guy who wants to come to Barton to survive,” Zach whispered to himself.

Madison seemed to have finished reading the ads. He looked up, looked around, and found a phone booth. He folded the newspaper, put away the pen, took out a few coins, and walked to the phone booth. Holding the newspaper in one hand, he dialed the phone.

Benjamin looked at the pedestrians around him, gave up the idea of using Alpha’s ears, and handed over the work of eavesdropping to the vampire.

“Hello, is it Sisi Bread? I saw your job advertisement... Do you still have any vacancies? Okay, thank you.”

“Hello, is this Mr. Pierce? I saw that you are looking for... I think I am very suitable for this job, but do you provide any accommodation? ...Then can I take a portion of my wages in advance?... oh, okay... thank you for your time.”

...

Madison’s job search journey seemed to be full of obstacles, and even Zach, who was listening to it, felt a bit sorry for him.

“So?” Benjamin asked when he saw Madison hang up the phone and left the phone booth.

Zach spread his hands and shrugged, “Follow him, let’s see if he will do something special.”

Benjamin nodded and got out of the car with Zach, and followed slowly behind Madison.

What happened next was: no one was beheaded by the vampire, and no one was bitten by the werewolf. Madison wandered the bustling streets like a truly homeless person.

Zach once asked me: “When you quit your job at BOOSBOOS Bar and wandered on the street, what were you thinking?”

Don’t be too surprised, Madison is me. Oh, nobody cares about this... Then what I meant was, Zach would sometimes ask me questions as well.

I thought about it and answered, “The color of my hair was changing, so I knew my future was changing. But I didn’t know if it’s good or bad. But the only thing I was sure of was that I couldn’t afford Barton’s hotels, and in just two days, I would be penniless and need to start begging on the street...”

Zach kindly said: “Well, what do you think now? Is it good or bad?”

I frowned and thought carefully, “When you came to invite me, I thought it was good. Now, I don’t know...”

From Zach’s more gracious eyes, I realized that I said something wrong.

Of course, the protagonist is not me, so, let’s just carry on using Madison, which is a name that is so ordinary that even the owner himself also can’t even remember it.

A few hours later, neither the vampire nor the werewolf found any strange actions by Madison. It seemed like the following would go on forever.

“Hey! Your name is Madison, right? “Zach leaned against the street lamp and looked at Madison, who was also standing under the streetlamp, with a confused look.

After realizing that the following was just a waste of time, Zach decided to change his strategy to take this guy who was obviously not a human (no human can completely change their hair color like this) back to Grande Funeral Home. As Benjamin said to James a few days ago, if nonhumans just wanted to live quietly, they wouldn’t give them a hard time. Of course, the condition was to pledge loyalty like ‘Jim’.

Madison looked at the stranger next to him. It took him awhile to realize that the other party was talking to him, and it took a while again to realize that he was one of the three customers in the bar.

“I’m sorry that you had to see that kind of scene.” Madison nodded and said apologetically, “I hope you had a good time in the bar.”

“We left.” Zach looked at Madison with a smile. “Such a scene would always dampen the mood.”

Madison’s face was even more apologetic: “I’m really sorry, I didn’t want to ruin your mood.”

Zach patted Madison on the shoulder: “You don’t need to apologize. Sometimes, people just need some courage. God will reward those who have courage. In addition, my name is Zachary Grande, you can call me Zach. ”

“My name is Madison, Co, co, Cook...” As I said, this was a name that even the owner himself also couldn’t remember.

“Haha, you are a really funny guy!” Zach laughed, looking at the newspaper that was still folded and held in Madison’s hands, “Are you looking for a new job? How is it? ”

“Not very good.” Madison shook his head, his expression was very helpless, but immediately forced himself to make a smile. “Oh, Zach, I shouldn’t complain to you about this.”

“It’s nothing, I have nothing to do, I’m waiting for my younger brother. It is a pleasure to be able to chat with strangers. ”

“Oh, is it that gentleman with a serious face like a policeman?” Madison was relieved and asked.

Zach realized that the man he was talking about was James, he laughed and shook his head: “No, it’s the other one.”

“The other one?” The fluffy one?” Madison was confused first, and then confirmed Zach’s brother.

“Hahaha!” Zach laughed: “Fluffy? You are really a very interesting person, I like you very much, we can be friends! How about this.” Zach reached into the coat and pulled out a business card: “If your job hunt is not going well, you can come to work for me, I always welcome you. ”

Madison didn’t really know what was so funny, but he still took the business card, [Grande Funeral Home]. The person in front of him was actually a funeral director, and Madison instantly became very respectful: “Thank you, Mr. Grande.”

“Zach! Just call me Zach.” Zach corrected: “Although we are in the Southern District, we can provide accommodation and food, it is not a bad place. You can think about it. ”

Zach looked behind Madison, Benjamin had walked out of the store, carrying some food in his hand, “I need to go now, good luck.”

Of course, all this was planned. The vampire had already known that Madison needed a job that provided both food and accommodation. The reason why he said that he needed to leave now was to lure him.

“Wait!” As he expected, Madison stopped him, “actually, actually, I need a job like this. I don’t have a place to sleep, so...”

“Oh!” Zach pretended to be surprised: “you don’t have a place to sleep? Then where are you going to stay tonight? Oh, I can’t let my friends sleep on the streets! ”

Madison pressed his lips. Although he didn’t know why he suddenly had a friend, it didn’t matter if the work and accommodation problems were solved at the same time.

“You have been hired!” Zach draped his arms around Madison’s shoulders and walked to Benjamin: “Now, let me introduce the fluffy...”

Before he realized that Benjamin was a werewolf, Maddison had no idea why it was funny.

Back to Benjamin’s truck, Zach was still sitting on the front passenger seat. The fierce drums and loud music came from the old radio. The surrounding scenery became desolate after leaving the bustling Northern District.

Zach and Benjamin exchanged glances with each other. Zach turned to look at Madison, who was a bit restrained: “Since we are already friends, are you now willing to share the reason why you came to Barton City and what you are. ”

Madison looked at Zach’s red eyes, and he didn’t know why an idea that he wanted to share his secret would appear...

Finally, I finished the story of the encounter between the protagonist and I, please don’t underestimate my role, if I didn’t show up, the three siblings of the Grande Funeral Home would need to select a person and go to the Southern District branch of Barton Police to work with Barton police to handle the matter of preserving victims’ bodies. So, I am very important. Oh, you don’t care about this... I mean, from Madison’s story, I hope you can see that our protagonist is not an evil guy who beheads others everywhere, at least, I’m still alive.
