MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 23 Find

  Chapter 23 Discovery

  Verak very much hopes that Carmine will find out that the things have been stolen tonight. In this case, after the search today, the suspects will be cleared, and there will be no need to worry about being searched after that, and he can boldly put the things in his room to browse at any time.

   On the contrary, as long as Carmine does not discover the theft for a day, Verak has to guard against searches all day, and cannot take the files back casually. This will greatly affect his progress and slow down efficiency.

  Verak couldn't laugh or cry about his mentality of stealing something and eagerly hoping to be discovered by the owner.

  After safely transferring the things to Julia's room, he opened the books on the table and pretended to read them, but recalled the contents of the portfolio in his mind.

  Through a rough scan, he already has a general understanding of the situation of the rebel organization. Francis was considered the soul of the rebel organization at the beginning. After his death four months ago, his best friend Chris took over the burden and began to lead the rebel organization. Within a few months, he was reduced to the same ending as Francis.

At first, Verak only thought that Chris was a core member of the rebel organization. This identity had no connection with the rebel organization. As the core, it would not fail to attract the attention of the rebel organization, nor would it allow them to dispatch all their forces to break the balance. It's just convenient to deal with the Thomas family.

   Now, things have exceeded Verak's expectations. He has transformed himself into the leader of a rebel organization with at least thousands of members. The situation is so good that it almost crushes before, but this also brings some crises.

  The first two heads of this organization are dead.

  He is the second head Chris on the surface, but in fact he is already the third leader of this organization. According to the previous rules, if I can't be there for too long, I am afraid that I will die due to various special circumstances.

  Being a member of a rebel organization is already very hot, but now that you have directly become the boss, it is no longer a question of whether it is hot or not...

Although Verak admired this group of people and believed that what they were doing now was of the same nature as the thieves robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and worthy of the applause of the people at the bottom, but after all, it was a matter of losing their heads. The new life he was fighting for was different, and he never thought about getting involved too much.

  In order to prevent himself from being executed as a member of the rebel organization one day under the identity of Chris, he can only speed up the plan as much as possible and run away with money as soon as possible. And looking at the current situation, I am afraid that after collecting the money, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay anywhere in Bresci, and I can only escape to live in other countries.

  Today is the tenth day of his rebirth. After just ten days, he felt that he had turned the original situation upside down, and he had opened up a crate that would lead to the destruction of the rebel organization and the Thomas family if he didn't control it well.

   "I really don't know what the future will be like..." The reality changes too fast, and Verak can hardly imagine what the situation will look like in a while.

  At this moment, he wanted to find something to relieve the pressure and relax the nerves that had been tense for ten days. But he unexpectedly discovered that he hadn't thought about smoking for ten days.

  He used to be a smoker, and he was forced to quit smoking only after he was caught impersonating Chris in his last life. After rebirth, it is reasonable to say that the body's dependence on cigarettes is still there. He subconsciously smoked a few in his poor little room, but found that apart from feeling sick, he didn't feel even a little bit better physically and mentally.

   "Heh..." Verak thought about it.

  It seems that not only is it difficult to seek change in a life that remains unchanged, it is also difficult to maintain the same in a life that is changing rapidly.

   "Eat dinner." Probably because there were no servants outside, Fletcher didn't bother to hide it, so he pushed the door open and entered.

  Villac put down his book, let out a long breath, and followed Fletcher downstairs for dinner.

  The dinner was no different from the previous ones. The death of Dempsey only caused huge waves in the dark.

   After dinner, it was time for Verak to rest. Verak went back to his room and went straight to sleep. He had done enough today, he needed a good rest, and waited for Carmine to discover the theft.

  …

   A restaurant.

   "Verak." Dempsey and Verac clinked a glass, "How are you doing in Old South York?"

"It's not bad. The money from the Thomas family circle can't be spent in a hundred lifetimes." Verac smiled brightly, dressed luxuriously, and spoke with a little more confidence and complacency that he didn't have before. I don’t quite get used to it, if possible, I’ll go back to Blessie when the limelight passes, go to a big city in the south, and bring you and Nord with me.”

   Nord, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help asking: "Then can I drink twenty gold grams of Inbit?"

   "Enough." Verak smiled slightly.

   "Haha! I've seen so many rich people in restaurants, and I haven't heard any of them say that Inbit is enough. We really did it this time!" Nord jumped excitedly.

   "Verak sent it, why are you excited?" Dempsey poured cold water on Nord deliberately with a straight face.

   Nord was taken aback.

   Before Nord's face collapsed, Verak couldn't help laughing and said: "It's our money."

   "Our money? You liar." Dempsey's face sank quickly.

   Nord also began to stare at Verak coldly.

  The dining room became dark, and there was a whistling sound that almost pierced the eardrums from somewhere.

  …

  Verak woke up suddenly, covered in cold sweat.

   "Have a nightmare?" Fletcher stood by the bed with the lights on in the bedroom, expressionless.

   "Yes... how do you..."

   "I was going to wake you up, but you just woke up." Fletcher put his hands behind his back, his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through Veraker's disguise, "Did you steal anything from Mr. Carmine?"

  Verak was still in a daze: "What?"

   "If you admit it now, you will not die. If we find out what Mr. Carmine stole from you, you and your friends will be executed immediately." Fletcher said.

   "Sorry, Mr. Fletcher, I don't quite understand what happened—" Verak shook his head in confusion.

   Before Fletcher waited for Verak to finish speaking, he slapped Verak neatly.

"Snapped!"

   "Answer me, stole or not." Fletcher asked.

"No."

"Snapped!"

   "Answer me, steal or not steal."

   "Mr. Fletcher, I don't have…"

"Snapped!"

   "Give you one last chance! Say! Steal or not!"

  Verak's eyes were bloodshot, and he trembled and covered his swollen face: "I didn't, Mr. Fletcher."

   After being slapped three times in a row by Fletcher, Verak seemed to have returned to his previous life. He was a slow learner in his last life, and Fletcher would teach him things by his side every day. As long as he paused or said a wrong word, Fletcher would slap him severely, or throw something at him, and insult him with the most vicious language. The usually gentle butler was completely different.

  Verak performed very well in this life. Fletcher has never revealed his violent side, and now he finally showed his true colors.
