Twenty Seven Years Chapter 75

  Chapter 75 In order to survive

  The truth has come to light.

   It also made Verak feel even more uncomfortable.

  He knew that Dempsey had betrayed him before, but he didn't think of his former good brother as despicable, thinking that he was just listening to Fletcher and monitoring him.

  But the truth is worse than that. Fletcher never instructed Dempsey to tell Veraker to get rid of him in half a year. It was Dempsey's arbitrariness to stimulate Veraker. Dempsey asked about Veraker's situation that day, and found that Veraker had been abiding by the rules. He was worried that he would lose value to Fletcher, so he thought of this temporarily, trying to induce Veraker to do something out of line.

   Only in this way can he be more useful to Fletcher and gain greater benefits. Thinking about it more darkly, as long as he pretends to be innocent, pushes Veraker into the abyss, and let Fletcher really eradicate Veraker, then he can get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible and run away with money.

   "Is there anything else?" The doubt in Fletcher's eyes dissipated with Verak's words.

   Originally, he thought that since Dempsey came with Veraker, he should also be a member of the Equality Society, and he still couldn't understand why the Equality Society wanted to kill his own people. Now, with the words of Veraker, "a temporary recruit from the slums", his doubts have also been solved.

  It turns out that Dempsey is not a member of the Equal Society, but just a "slum native" they temporarily recruited to be Veraker's friend.

   No wonder no abnormality was found when investigating Verak's relationship network.

   "No more, let's go." Verak felt uncomfortable as if there was a stone in his heart.

   "You...will not expose me to Mr. Carmine?" Fletcher asked cautiously.

  For him, this is the most critical point. As long as Verak doesn't expose him, everything will be fine.

"We don't have any deep hatred, do we?" Verak lowered Fletcher's vigilance, "so I have no reason to kill you. As long as you don't do something stupid next, I don't need to share Use your energy to target you."

   "...Thank you." Fletcher heaved a sigh of relief, and thanked Verak inexplicably.

   "The current situation is still unclear, and you are considered a smart person. You should know what to do in your best interest." Verac called Fletcher.

  If Fletcher is firmly on the side of Carmine now, he is tantamount to being Verak's enemy. As an enemy, Verac naturally has no need to be lenient, and he will definitely expose him for weakening Carmine's strength.

  And if Fletcher is on the side of Carmine on the surface, but keeps cooperating with Veraker secretly, it can guarantee the safety of the moment. As for what to do when the situation becomes clear, that is something that should be considered at that time.

  Fletcher was silent for a long time: "I see."

   "Go back and rest early." Verak let him go.

   Fletcher leaves.

  After the door was gently closed, Verak snorted softly, got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

  Hot water flowed down his body, he leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and enjoyed the relaxation of the open pores.

  The reason why he didn't attack Fletcher was to make Fletcher more tightly bound to himself. Only in this way could he gradually grasp enough handles on Fletcher to completely pinch Fletcher's life.

  By that time, the best situation is to successfully instruct Fletcher to steal the confidential documents that Carmine transferred to the hiding place, and gain a greater advantage in this huge game. The worst case scenario is that Fletcher has no use value.

   No matter what, Verac has nothing to lose, and will kill Fletcher himself before leaving to avenge the two worlds.

   "Huh..." Verak stretched out his hands and wiped his face, brushed his hair back, and looked at the foggy bathroom, suddenly a little startled.

  When did I have the courage to confront the Thomas family, and when did I have the ambition to bring down and destroy the Thomas family?

   With all the plans and calculations, it will only take three months to come to Laizein by myself.

  Three months ago, he was still a civilian trapped at the bottom of a well, never being valued by any decent bigwig. Three months later, I used the advantage of knowing the future development direction, and this pair of skins that were almost identical to Chris, stirred up the situation in Laizein.

  Did you create everything today by yourself?

   This fact is even unbelievable to Verak himself.

  Unknowingly, he has come to this step.

  Verak remembered Nord's rhetorical question to himself.

   "Do you think Dempsey is the only one changed by money?"

  He doesn't agree that it's all about the money, but there's no doubt that he's really changed. He has gone farther and stood on a higher ground, with meticulous thinking, outstanding abilities, and ambitions that seem to belong to a world that does not seem to belong to a person like him before.

   "If you don't change, how can you survive here..."

  Verak talked to himself.

   This sentence seems like Dempsey is talking to him, and it seems that he is answering Nord.

   In order to survive, no one is wrong or right.

  August 22nd.

  Villac got up early habitually, washed up and changed into new clothes, and went downstairs to have a peaceful meal with the Carmine family, who were already mortal enemies.

What is different about this meal from the past is that it was Verak who was uncomfortable in the past, but now Verak is eating leisurely, ordering the servants to prepare his favorite desserts, serving his favorite wine, Kamai En Ze's face was terribly gloomy, and the others present were even more silent.

   "Does any of you want a drink?" The servant was pouring Imbit for Verac, and he asked the others with a smile.

   "What are your plans for today?" Mrs. Meera, Kellerman, and Julia didn't speak, and Carmine asked, suppressing his dissatisfaction.

  Villac said "thank you" to the servant, and took a sip from his glass: "Haven't you already arranged all my work for my sister? I have nothing important to do, and I plan to go out for a walk. What about you?"

   "Is this wine good?" Carmine still didn't answer Verak's question directly.

  Villac smacked his lips and commented: "Well... I really can't appreciate it. Okay, I'm done eating, you continue."

   After speaking, Verak stood up and saluted, and then strode out of the Thomas family mansion.

   "Father..." Kellerman looked at Carmine.

  Carmine remained expressionless: "Continue to eat."

   "Sir." Daniel parked the car at the gate, and stood upright beside the car, waiting for Verak.

   "I've been waiting for a long time." The weather was fine today, and Veraker was in a very happy mood. He smiled and said, "Let's go."

  The car drove to the suburban site of the Equality Society, which had already been visited once yesterday, and Daniel asked again with concern: "Sir, did anything happen after you came home last night?"

   "No, don't worry about me." Verak said.

   "It can be seen that you are in a good mood." Daniel was also very happy when he saw the smile on Veraker's face.

   "Did you see it?" Verak laughed, "I should still be in a good mood for a while."
