MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 13 note

  Chapter 13 Notes

   There was only a moment for Verak to react, and he chose to shake his head slightly at Chloe.

  Verak is now 70 to 80% sure of Chloe's true identity. Talking to him now, he can't guarantee that he will not show his feet. And directly ignoring the other party, the consequences may be even worse.

  Because Chris was a core member of the rebel organization, it was impossible for them not to know that Chris committed suicide before being caught. Now that he found Veraker, he also wondered why Chris appeared in the ballroom alive again since he had committed suicide. If Verac directly ignores Chloe, once the other party decides that Verac is not Chris, then he will completely lose the important trump card of the rebel organization.

  So at this time, shaking the head, an action that gives a response but does not give a complete response, is the most appropriate way to respond, and it is a test.

  If Chloe is really a member of the rebel organization, Verac's shaking of the head is a signal that it is inconvenient to have a connection now, and he should not do anything else. If Chloe wasn't a member of the rebel organization, as Chris's shooting coach, he would grab Verak to say hello.

   After shaking his head, Verak followed Colin out the door.

  Chloe didn't call him, and the moment he went out, Verak felt a hand stuffed into his pocket, and quickly pulled it out.

  Verak reached out and found an extra note in his pocket, but he didn't choose to take it out to check it now, but went straight out the door without too much interaction with Chloe.

  Everything happened very quickly. Colin, who was walking in front, didn't notice anything unusual at all, and took Verak directly into the car.

   "Send Chris back first." Colin told the driver.

  The car started, Verac looked outside, and saw Chloe standing at the door of the ballroom watching him. After the car drove away slowly, he lowered the brim of his hat and turned to leave.

   "Hoo..." Verak let out a long breath.

  The experience of the few seconds just now was a silent thrill. A slight mistake by Veraker would cause unimaginably bad consequences. Fortunately, he made the most appropriate choice.

   "Sleepy?" Colin thought Verack was sleepy.

   "It's a bit cold." Verak said.

   "Cold?" Colin was a little surprised, "I still feel hot on a hot day."

   "I haven't been in good health recently." Verak explained.

  Colin rolled up the car window: "Okay, do you want to put on my clothes?"

"thanks."

  Verak put on the clothes that Colin had taken off, and suddenly felt stuffy, but he still shrugged his shoulders slightly and rubbed his hands.

   Half an hour later, the car arrived in front of the Thomas family mansion.

  Verak saw Fletcher standing at the door waiting from a distance, and he quickly took off his coat and returned it to Colin: "I'm here, get out of the car first."

   "Okay, let's play together when we have time." Colin poked his head out to greet Fletcher, and then left.

  Verak walked in front of Fletcher, and Fletcher saw beads of sweat on Verac's forehead at a glance, and the clothes on his chest were even soaked: "Have you been found?"

   "No, Mr. Fletcher." Veraker pretended to be in shock.

   "Let's go." Fletcher took Verak back to the living room.

  In the living room, Carmine, Meera, and Kellerman were all there, sitting there quietly like yesterday, staring at Verak coldly.

   "What happened when you went out with Mr. Colin? Tell me in detail." Fletcher said.

  Verak made a memoir, cut out the conversation and things he had done with Colin this evening, and said intermittently: "...It's probably like this."

   "You were frightened into a cold sweat, Mr. Colin didn't suspect you?" Fletcher asked.

   "I said that because I don't feel well recently, the weather is hot and I sweat easily. Mr. Colin didn't doubt me." Verac explained.

  Before he came back, he deliberately borrowed Colin's clothes to make himself sweaty, making the Carmine family and Fletcher think he was timid, and lowered his vigilance to a greater extent, laying the foundation for doing other things in the future.

"Today is safe and sound, and we must talk less in the future, and try to avoid contact with people who are close to Chris like Colin." Carmine said, "You have been staying here for a while, don't use it for now." Walk around according to Chris's itinerary."

   "Understood, Mr. Carmine." Veraker responded quickly.

   "Fletcher." Carmine looked at Fletcher.

  Fletcher bowed: "Sir."

   "You have been by his side for the next period of time, let him learn everything about Chris as soon as possible." Carmine said.

   "Understood." Fletcher said.

   "Let's go to bed early." Carmine let go of his hanging heart, and got up and left with Meera and Kellerman.

  Fletcher and Verac returned to Chris's room.

"I don't want any accidents to happen again." Fletcher's attitude was much worse than before, "From tomorrow onwards, you can only stay in this room and conduct more rigorous training. Only once If you can't satisfy me, I'll let your two friends pay the price for you."

  Verak is still useful, and Fletcher is not qualified to move him, but Nord and Demps, who were originally brought in as Veraker's help, are now the most suitable hostages to threaten Veraker.

   "Mr. Fletcher, don't hurt them, I'll listen to you." Veracer knew that Fletcher was afraid that he would swell after experiencing this day, so he had to wake himself up and return to reality.

   Seeing Veraker's fearful expression, Fletcher knew that this poor boy who had never seen the world from the backcountry was completely in his hands. He put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, a trace of contempt flashed across his face, and turned to leave: "Let's rest first."

  After Fletcher went out, Verac listened to the voice by the door as usual, and after confirming that he had really left, he took out the note that Chloise had given him from his pocket.

  【Comrade Chris, the news that you are still alive cheers us all up. Although we don't know what method you used to escape the desperate situation, we know that you must have paid a lot of risk and price. You don't need to worry about us here, the traitors have all been eradicated, and our recent actions will be much more low-key. When you go to the classical concert tomorrow, we will try to get in touch with you to discuss the next steps. 】

   After reading the contents of the note carefully and word for word, Verak's heart couldn't help beating wildly. He tried to calm himself down, read the words written to him by the rebel group several times, then tore the note into pieces and threw it into the toilet.

   "Okay..." Returning to the desk and sitting down, Verak couldn't help saying hello in a low voice.

  The message on this note brought him three messages.

   The first news, the rebel group will try to get in touch with Chris at the classical music concert he routinely attends on Tuesday. It just so happened that Carmine gave an order, and Chris was not allowed to go out during this period of time, which saved Verak the most difficult problem of how to communicate with the rebel organization without revealing his secrets.

  The second news, the rebel organization really thinks that Verak is Chris.

  The third piece of news is that the rebel organization needs to work with Chris on the next step of the rebel organization’s planning, which means that Chris is definitely a leader in the rebel organization.
