Twenty Seven Years Chapter 456

  October 23rd

  The three of them put on their formal clothes, and took their passes to the checkpoint in the inner city.

   After the guards colluded with the fake certificate dealers looked through their shoddy passes, they passed without any obstruction.

   "Should we also get a car?" Murphy looked at the scene in front of him, and had the idea of ​​acting to the end.

After passing through the checkpoint, the environment has undergone earth-shaking changes. All you can see are magnificent and exquisite buildings. The road is spacious, flat, and clean. The road is full of the latest cars. They were all decent, and the three people who wore such identities in the outer city stood out, but once they entered the inner city, they felt like they were out of the crowd.

Walking by the side of the road, Verak looked at the dazzling array of expensively priced goods displayed on the shop windows in the surrounding area, and said indifferently, "We can't afford any cars. If we rent a car in the inner city, as long as the partner is willing, we will be able to." Find out. When people see that we are bluffing, it will not be so easy to deter them."

Murphy also has another consideration: "It's not necessarily for the purpose of gaining momentum. The inner city is not small. We have to go to so many places. We can't rely on walking. It will take ten times the time. It's better to be generous. We don't need the other party to investigate, we can even take the initiative to inform them. In this way, everything is still unreal and the other party can't figure it out, and we won't prolong the search for candidates too long.”

"I think what Comrade Murphy said is quite reasonable, and it is not advisable to deliberately buy a car and pretend to be very rich, and it is not advisable to walk all over the inner city every day in the cold wind to visit candidates. We can't deliberately pretend to be very strong. The other party has seen through it, let alone be so downcast from the beginning to be looked down upon." Connie echoed.

   "Hmm..." Verac slowed down, and after careful consideration, he decided to accept Murphy and Connie's proposal, "Let's go, get a car first."

  After asking all the way, the three found a car rental company, paid a large deposit again, and reappeared on the streets of the inner city in a car.

  Verak sat in the backseat and calculated the accounts, and said distressedly: "We should have brought more money, but now several large expenditures in a row have made it impossible for us to make up next month's rent."

Murphy drove the car steadily, and drove towards the location of the first candidate they picked yesterday: "You have already specially applied for this amount of money, but no one thought that it would still be far from enough. "

   "The deposit accounts for a large part of the current expenditure. As long as everything goes well in our follow-up, the money will come back in a few days." Connie couldn't help smiling when she saw Verak's frown.

   "It seems that no matter what, this matter must be done." Verak laughed.

  Ten minutes later, the three people who stopped halfway and asked for directions several times came to the Montrego City Daily Office.

  The first candidate they looked at was Carranza, the boss of the Montrego Daily News. This person's biggest hobby is gambling, and it doesn't hurt to win or lose in a small gamble, but recently the newspaper office is not well managed, and the capital turnover is difficult. Most of his mind is only gambling, and he actually thought of gambling to make money.

The final result is not surprising. Instead of earning a considerable amount of money to resolve the crisis of the newspaper, he also lost a large sum of money, directly pushing the newspaper from half-dead to the point where he had to sell it out to pay off his gambling debts. .

There is no doubt that this person is very short of money. At the same time, as the owner of the newspaper with the largest circulation in the local newspaper, he must know countless dignitaries, and he has never heard of the name of the International Equality League. no impression.

   There is another point that Verak and others value.

  Since he is the owner of the newspaper, he should make a big splash in the inner city, let everyone know about the suffering of the children, stir up the charity dinner, and then praise the benevolence of the rich and powerful after the event is over, so as to meet their basic needs is just as easy as pie!

  The dignitaries are willing to donate money just to get a name.

  The newspaper office can package the rich and powerful in all aspects, but are they afraid that they will not be willing to come and pay?

  Of course, Carranza is not a perfect candidate. He still has two big shortcomings.

  First, the identity of the gambler.

  Second, the Montrego City Daily is being transferred.

  The former will make people doubt his motives for organizing charity dinners, and the latter will make people worry about whether he has the ability to organize charity dinners and help the rich and powerful earn fame.

   "Let's go and meet this Carranza." Verac straightened his collar, got out of the car, and walked straight to the newspaper office.

  Murphy and Connie got out of the car one after another, followed him, and entered the newspaper office together.

   "Hello, who are you?" The atmosphere in the newspaper office was a bit gloomy. Seeing the three people coming, a listless secretary greeted them and asked.

   "Let's talk to Mr. Carranza about taking over the newspaper." Murphy said coldly.

"Please come with me." Seeing that the other party has an extraordinary temperament and may soon become his new boss, the secretary cheered up and was more polite, and brought the three of them to the door of Carranza's office, "Carranza Sir, a guest is looking for you to talk about taking over the newspaper."

   "Come in!" As soon as the secretary finished speaking, a voice came from the office.

   Then, as soon as the secretary put his hand on the doorknob, Carranza inside impatiently stepped forward and opened the door himself: "Welcome—"

   Before the cordial conversation could begin, Carranza, who was as haggard as the secretary, froze.

   Obviously, he recognized Verak.

  Murphy reacted very quickly. Before Carranza lost his composure, he said, "Mr. Carranza, it's not convenient to talk about things at the door. Let's go in and talk?"

   "You, you..." Carranza looked at Verak's face in disbelief, and had no time to pay attention to Murphy's words.

   "You can go." Murphy glanced at the secretary, and helped Carranza back to the office without any explanation.

  Verak strode in after him, and Connie was the last to enter, and closed the office door, leaving the secretary who was about to ask if he wanted something to drink, to go out alone in a daze.

   "You, you are—"

"I think our identities are not suitable for everyone to know." Murphy interrupted Carranza, then glanced outside the door, signaling him to pay attention to his voice, "Sit down and chat, Kalanza Mr Lanza."

   "You are... from the International Equality Alliance..." Carranza saw Verak sitting on the sofa by himself, lowered his voice tremblingly.

   "You know us, so you can save a lot of trouble." Murphy walked behind Carranza, pushed the man in his prime on the sofa, and sat opposite Verak.

Carranza looked at the expressionless Veraker, then at the murderous Connie standing beside him, and swallowed subconsciously: "Aren't you in Brisey and Bash...how did you appear in here?"

   "That's not important. What's important is that you should be glad you met us." Verac said slowly after listening to Murphy's translation.

   "Could it be...you...do you really want to buy a newspaper?" Carranza secretly cried out.

  I am unarmed, and it is difficult to be on an equal footing with these powerful organizations in other places. Even if the other party wants to give them the newspaper for free, I have to obey obediently.

  Otherwise, for a force that can even be overthrown by Bresci, it would be a matter of minutes to kill himself.

   Seeing that Carranza was so frightened that he almost lost control of his bladder and bowels, Virak felt more and more that it was most appropriate to talk to him first.

  Anyone who is not very well-informed may not be able to recognize Verak, let alone be so easily shocked.

"To be precise, we are here to save you." Verac glanced at the half bottle of wine left on the table. The name of the wine printed on the bottle was 'Tequila' which he had specially learned during this time. It's Montrego's specialty. He's always wanted to drink it, but he hasn't had time to taste it. "You owe a lot of money recently, and you're desperate and want to sell the newspaper, right?"

"I…"

  Villac poured two glasses of tequila by himself, pushed one to Carranza, and took a sip from the other. The wine was a bit spicy, and he didn't like it very much: "If we have a way for you to make a lot of money without selling the newspaper, would you like to do it?"

  Carranza stared at the wine poured for him by the leisurely and contented Veraker, hesitated for a long time before picking it up, and drank it respectfully: "...you have a solution? But... why do you, the International Equality League help me?"

   "Of course it's for ourselves, this is a win-win cooperation." Verak took another sip, this time he tasted a slightly sweet taste.

"Cooperation?"

  Verak winked at Murphy, and Murphy gave Carranza a rough explanation of the content of the cooperation.

   "This, can this work..." Carranza was scared and excited after hearing this.

  He alone does not have the guts to deceive the powerful and make money through charity dinners. Because once this matter is leaked, with only my little foundation and strength, I will be 100% unable to bear the anger of the big shots.

   But with the backing of the International Equality League.

  What level of power is the International Equality Alliance? Now the actual controller of half of Bresci! They are affecting and subverting the whole world!

  Even if you don't look at the situation as far away as Brexi, and only take the neighboring Bash as an example, the strength of the International Equality Alliance should not be underestimated.

The most intuitive thing is that the Bash Empire is strong enough to counter the coalition forces of Wellland and Bresci at the same time, but internally, they have nothing to do with the people of the International Equality League. They can only watch them active in Winterhold, and outside Winterhold Organize the people to capture one city hall after another.

  What can some dignitaries in the mere city of Montrego do in front of them?

   It can be said that with the International Equality Alliance, this matter can definitely be done, which is why Carranza is excited.

  As for why he was afraid again, it was because he couldn't figure out why such a powerful International Equality Alliance would approach him to discuss cooperation.

   Not being able to see through the thoughts of the International Equality League made him very disturbed.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate, I can guarantee that this matter will be a success, and I will give you enough hard work to pay off your gambling debts after the matter is completed." Verac cleverly put the "hard work" into account according to the situation. On the opponent's head, took the initiative.

Last night, he was still worried that we were outnumbered and that it would be difficult to get more benefits, and he called the share he got as hard work. Seeing Carranza's performance today, he immediately took advantage of it calmly. Down the bulk.

For Carranza, it is the best result to be able to complete this matter safely, pay off the money he owes, and keep the newspaper. More benefits: "It would be great if it could be like this..."

   "If you have no questions, we can discuss the specific arrangements." Virak said.

   "Wait a minute." Carranza plucked up his courage and said, "I, can I ask, why did you ask me to cooperate? Also, the International Equality Alliance is so powerful... Is it necessary...to get money from these people..."

"These two questions can be answered together." Seeing that there were still expensive cigarettes on the table, Verak naturally lit up one, "I don't mind getting more money, right? You are like that, and so is the International Equality League."

   "This is..."

"We have established sub-stations in Bash, Stall, and Dunman. As a newspaper publisher, you will know this. Then I will send you a first-hand news. We have also started to deploy in Montrego .Of course, this matter is still top secret, and you'd better keep it secret." From the moment Verac met Carranza, it was no secret to Carranza that the International Equality League was developing towards Montrego, so he did not There is no need to hide it.

   "I, I, I will definitely not tell it, I promise you! Don't worry!" Carranza was very clear about the fate of the leak.

  In the face of death, it is not difficult to keep a shocking secret.

   "Since you know that money is not burdensome, you also know that we are developing in Montrego, and you know better what we are fighting for, then it should not be difficult to find you to cooperate and organize a charity dinner?" Verac asked back.

"Understood, the International Equality Alliance is for these children. This charity dinner is real, but you want to get the money from the powerful and maximize the benefits." Carranza nodded persistently .

"Just understand." Verak smoked a cigarette, "There is one more thing you need to be very clear about. There is no harm in making friends with us. This time we can take the initiative to come to you to cooperate and help you solve your big troubles. Maybe there are even bigger opportunities waiting for you."

   This belongs to painting big cakes, coercing and luring Carranza to obey them.

   Whether it can really be fulfilled depends on the subsequent development and the situation at that time.

  Carranza can see through this, but he doesn't care, as long as he can solve the current troubles anyway. What will happen to Montrego, who is already in a mess, has nothing to do with him selling newspapers, as long as he can continue to make money. The most important thing is that no country has ever been able to stop the progress of the International League of Equality, let alone the disintegrated Montrego. Helping the International Equality Alliance now and building a good relationship with them may not have many benefits in the future, but it will definitely not be so bad: "If there is anything that the International Equality Alliance needs me to do in the future, you can just say it."
