MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 18 true and false

  Chapter 18 True and False

   Demps thought he was honest and honest about being bought, but he didn't really give his allegiance to Fletcher. He could explain more problems and make Veraker trust him more.

Fletcher thought that since Veraker bet with his life back then, and asked him to bring Nord and Dempsey, it is enough to show that these two people are extremely important to Veraker, so as long as he masters them and knows what Veracer is thinking It's pretty sure.

  But even when the two of them realized that Veraker was not simple, they still seriously underestimated Veraker. In fact, ever since he sneaked into the study and saw Dempsey following Fletcher, Veraker only felt that the situation was not good, and did not feel any joy in his heart.

  Although Nord is young and energetic, he is not a fool. If he can really deceive Fletcher on the surface, he will definitely do so.

  Fletcher is not an idiot either. It is impossible for the other party to really believe the pledge of allegiance, and then specially create an opportunity for the two to communicate in private, waiting for the secret to be leaked.

   Half a year? In Verak's view, instead of prolonging the time, it is very likely that it will speed up. The only thing that doesn't make sense is why Fletcher asked Dempsey to tell him that he would be eliminated in half a year. Isn't he afraid that he would turn the table and make a mess?

  Verak still didn't know what went wrong, which made Fletcher feel that he was not simple, so he did not hesitate to send Dempsey to monitor him in such a reckless way. But what is certain is that he has attracted Fletcher's attention, and under the increasingly sensitive double monitoring of Fletcher and Dempsey, there are not many opportunities for him to use to advance the plan.

   "Heh..." Verak sat up, weak and a little lonely.

   Dempsey's actions made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. In less than a week, the friend who used to share weal and woe in the slums had put on a mask of hypocrisy, held a knife behind his back, and was always ready to stab him to death with a knife, dedicating his body to Fletcher in exchange for glory and wealth.

   It seems that as long as you enter this city, everything will be changed by the dip.

  Verak has remorse, and also has concerns about the next arrangement. Thinking about it now, it was probably not the right thing to choose this path, but he has no turning back. Dempsey's betrayal and Nord's death cannot be reversed. He can only keep a stronger, colder and more determined heart and continue walking.

  He came to the window, and there were dark clouds outside, and a few crows that were hated by people were circling in the low sky. Laizein's weather today is in the same mood as him. Dull, depressing, with a buildup of anger.

  Verak realized that in such a place, it is not without light, nor is it without darkness, but their form is very different from the place where he lives. Here, a smile can also be angry, and silence can be loud.

   "Boom."

  Lightning and thunder, strong winds.

  The harsh light cast a chill on Verak's face, and the strong wind rattled his clothes.

  He remained motionless, letting the wind and rain blow. Because only the cold wind and rain can suppress his current anger and calm his heart. More importantly, this insignificant self-punishment is his confession to Nord's death, and it is the only sincerity he can show when he is imprisoned in this place.

  The news of Nord's death was learned by Veraker in such a form, which directly shattered his beautiful vision, and gave him a blow to the head who had just successfully sneaked into the study and was somewhat complacent.

  Even the closest friend can betray him, so in this city, who else can be trusted.

  In this place where trust is so precious, Verak lost the support of his heart. In the next two months of life-and-death game, he could only fight by himself.

  Hair clung to his forehead, rain dripped down Verak's cheeks. He was silent for a while, closed the window, took off his soaked clothes, and changed into clean ones.

  In the bright bathroom, Verak put his hands on the sink, adjusted his expression in front of the mirror, and tried to hide his sadness as much as possible. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, all he can do is cheer up and keep going.

   Originally, he only needed to disguise himself in front of Fletcher, but now, he had to disguise himself in front of Fletcher, and another in front of Dempsey.

  The former is a falsehood that Veracer, Dempsey, and Fletcher all know well. The latter, which Dempsey and Fletcher thought to be true, was actually another layer of falsehood.

  In terms of difficulty, this is not just a matter of playing one more character. When performing in front of Dempsey, Veraker needs to be more precise. On the one hand, they have to properly reveal some of their secrets, so that they think they have discovered the truth, so as to continue to underestimate Verak. On the one hand, Verak has to use what they believe to be the truth to find new opportunities for himself.

   In addition, he had to find out why Fletcher suspected him in an increasingly dangerous and complicated situation. Now whether or not he himself felt that there was an omission, it was an indisputable fact that Fletcher suspected him. If you don't hurry up and find out where you went wrong, you may get into even bigger troubles in the future.

   "Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door, and Fletcher's voice came from outside, "Master Chris, dinner is ready."

   "Okay." Verak replied loudly, then quickly walked out the door and followed Fletcher downstairs.

   "Is Dempsey arranged?" Verak asked.

  There are servants around, Fletcher behaved respectfully: "Your bodyguard has already settled down, and he will follow you whenever you go out in the future."

   "That's good, I will feel at ease with him." Verak showed a satisfied smile.

After enjoying dinner with the Thomas family, Fletcher shut Verak back to Chris's bedroom, and after a while, brought Demps over: "I will teach you two at the same time, Let you survive here naturally with the established identities as soon as possible."

   "Understood." Verak nodded, looking much more positive.

   Fletcher saw it, and first conducted a simple two-person teaching. Verac continues to use the identity of Chris, and Dempsey acts as a bodyguard, setting the correct response for the two under various scenarios.

   Demps did a good job in this regard. Memorizing things and learning etiquette are not his strong points, and they are much worse than Nord, who has been swayed by his ears and eyes. However, he is obviously more familiar with the world, dealing with the world and adapting to the situation. He cooperates very well with Verak. Basically, he can't find faults after rehearsing twice.

  Fletcher was quite satisfied, and directly allowed them to go out and play around in a few days to see the prosperity of Laizein.

   Obviously, this is Fletcher's test of Verac. At that time, Fletcher will definitely not follow, only Dempsey will be there. Dempsey will eventually tell Fletcher truthfully what he did when he traveled.

  However, Veraker didn't want to make things so simple, he wanted to turn this temptation into his own opportunity.
