  Chapter 20 Death News

   Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at Clayton Gardens.

  It's morning, not the peak period of Clayton Garden's traffic, but it makes this pleasant place more quiet and suitable for relaxation.

  Verak and Dempsey got out of the car, and they walked side by side in it.

  Demps put his hands in his pockets, with a sullen face, acting like a bodyguard: "Look, that's the Mena River."

"I know." Verac looked at the Mena River that runs through the entire Laizein next to the garden, "In fact, the People's Square, Monse Palace, and even all the essence of Laizein are built along the banks of the Leizein. It can be said that Laizein is the heart of Brecy, and the banks of the Mena River are the heart of Laizein."

   "You know a lot now." Dempsey took a breath of fresh air and said with emotion, "We have all changed."

   "It's only been a few days."

   "Yes, it's only been a few days."

  The two of them knew each other.

   "Which direction is the hotel where you and Nord live?" Verac changed the topic.

   Dempsey looked around and thought, "North."

  Verak came to the river, put his hand on the guardrail, and looked towards the north on the opposite bank: "I don't know how Nord is doing, that kid will suffer a lot by himself."

   "Don't worry, Nord is fine." Dempsey patted Verak on the shoulder.

   "I hope."

  Villac stopped by the river for a while, and walked to other places in Clayton Garden with Dempsey.

   "Strange." Dempsey turned his head frequently.

"What's wrong?"

   "Do you feel that someone is following us?" Dempsey always felt that something was wrong.

   "Stop thinking about it, let's relax." Verak pushed Dempsey, and walked forward without looking back.

  A few hundred meters away from them, Chloe did not choose to continue to follow, but came to the place where Verak was standing by the river just now, and pulled out a note from the gap in the guardrail. He flipped through the contents quickly, tore the note into pieces, and threw it on the surface of the Mena River.

  …

afternoon.

  Villac and Dempsey visited three places and returned to the Thomas family mansion by car.

  Just got out of the car and before entering the mansion, Fletcher walked out first: "Master Chris, how are you today?"

   "Thank you for your concern. I really feel better after relaxing. I hope my body can recover soon." Verak replied.

   After entering the mansion, without accident, Fletcher told Verac to go back to Chris's bedroom to rest first, and Dempsey was nowhere to be found.

   It was time for only one person again, Verak stretched his hands, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling absently.

  The moment he stuffed the note into the guardrail by the river, something seemed to be missing in his heart. Along the way, he searched over and over again for what he had lost, but found nothing.

  It should be something that cannot be felt at all when it exists, and can only feel what is lost when it is lost.

  Verak regretted bringing Nord and Dempsey. He realized that he was too naive at first, and the friendship in the slums was hard to beat the temptation of prosperity and wealth. Perhaps when Fletcher agreed to his request, he had considered using his friends to monitor and control him when necessary.

  Here, there is no distinction between right and wrong, everything is only about the position.

  Nord sticks to his bottom line and will be killed. Dempsey knows how to work around and get killed too.

  Verak very much hopes to have a chance to do it all over again. If there is still a chance, he will still choose to go to Laizein, because he hates the fate of being trampled on. But Lazer was not suitable for Nord and Demps, and he would let them go back to their respective homes on that rainy night. Then, before the arrival of the Thomas family, he transferred the single room he rented to Nord to live in, and left the camera for Dempsey to use.

   Unfortunately, it was too late.

   "Don't make such a mistake again in the future." Verac could only tell himself this.

  In the future, he needs to be more cautious and make decisions more calmly. This place is unlike any where innocent people die due to their own mistakes.

  Verak wants to stand out and live a life that he never dared to dream of, but he doesn't want this kind of life to be obtained with the blood of his friends and innocent people. The spiritual torture will make him extremely painful, and he will not be able to taste the joy of a luxurious life.

  Putting all the miscellaneous thoughts behind him, Verak regained his strength.

   Today Carmine is working, Julia is at school, Kellerman and her fiancé are out for dinner, and only Meera, who is across the door from the study, is there. Fletcher wanted to question Dempsey, and it took a lot of time to go through the whole day.

   Now is a rare opportunity to sneak into the study.

  Although Meera is at the door opposite the study, as long as she doesn't make too much noise, it's hard for the other party to notice.

  Verak was more decisive. After reviewing the situation thoroughly, he went out, followed the old path, first entered Julia's room, and then went through the window to Carmine's study.

  A few days ago, because of the double surveillance of Fletcher and Dempsey, he didn't have any chance to go out alone, so he could only keep speculating in his mind, and finally listed the most suspicious bookshelf as the focus of today's search.

   Just do it, Verak carefully searched the bookshelf in the study.

  The difficulty of checking the bookshelves is much higher than that of the previous collection shelves, and the number and level of detail have improved a lot. Veraker was also not sure how long Fletcher would ask Dempsey. Half an hour had passed since he searched half of the bookshelves. To be on the safe side, he had to return without success again.

   After returning to the bedroom, Fletcher waited for more than an hour before bringing Dempsey over.

  If Verac knew that there was still an hour left, it would definitely be enough to search the bookshelf. If the secret compartment is really in the bookshelf, he has even found Chris's information. However, gains and safety cannot be achieved at the same time, and Verak doesn't care much about these gains and losses.

   "Continue with your training." Back in the bedroom, Fletcher resumed his cold tone, carrying out routine training for the two with a straight face.

  Verak braced himself to deal with it.

   Training again until after dinner, Fletcher left with Dempsey.

  Verak went out of the window and looked at the starry sky boredly.

  Tonight was probably the last time he and Dempsey saw each other. Verac didn't say anything to Dempsey in the end. He really wanted to say something to this friend who had changed, but according to the efficiency of the rebel organization, Demps would probably be dealt with tonight. If he behaved abnormally, Fletcher would probably Doubt him.

  Knowing that Dempsey would have a hard time surviving tonight, Veraker didn't feel sleepy, and stood until two or three o'clock in the morning before forcing himself to sleep.

   the next day.

   Fletcher surprisingly didn't wake him up to eat, Verac woke up naturally, and looked at the time, it was past ten o'clock.

It wasn't until before lunch that Fletcher knocked on the door and came in, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Dempsey has returned to live in the hotel due to some reasons that cannot be explained temporarily, and I will find a way to let him come back in a while. "

   These words are no different from announcing death.
