Verak only had a moment to react, so he chose to shake his head slightly at Chloe.
Verak is now 70% to 80% sure of Chloe's true identity. Now that he is having a conversation with her, he cannot guarantee that he will not reveal the truth. If he directly ignores the other party, the consequences may be even worse.
Because Chris is a core member of the rebel organization, it is impossible for them not to know about Chris's suicide before being captured. Now that they find Verak, they are also very confused about why Chris appeared in the dance hall alive again since he committed suicide. If Verak directly ignored
Chris, once the other party determines that Verak is not Chris, he will completely lose this important trump card of the rebel organization.
So at this time, shaking your head, an action that gives a response but does not give a complete response, is the most appropriate way to respond, and it is also a test.
If Chloe is really a member of the rebel organization, then Verak's shaking head is a signal that it is not convenient to contact him now, and he should not do anything else. If Chloe is not a member of the rebel organization, he is not a member of the rebel organization.
For Chris's shooting coach, he would grab Verak and say hello.
After shaking his head, Verak followed Colin out of the door.
Chloe didn't stop him, and the moment he went out, Verak felt a hand put into his pocket and quickly pulled it out.
Verak reached out and touched it and found an extra note in his pocket, but he did not choose to take it out to check it now. Instead, he went out directly without interacting too much with Chloe.
Everything happened very quickly. Colin, who was walking in front, didn't notice anything strange at all, and took Verak directly to the car.
"Send Chris back first." Colin told the driver.
The car started and Verak looked outside and saw Chloe standing at the door of the ballroom watching him. After the car slowly drove away, he lowered the brim of his hat and turned to leave.
"Huh..." Verak let out a long sigh of relief.
The experience of those few seconds was a silent thrill. Any mistake made by Verak would have unimaginable consequences. Fortunately, he made the most appropriate choice.
"Sleepy?" Colin thought Verak was sleepy.
"It's a bit cold," Verak said.
"Cold?" Colin was a little surprised, "It's a hot day, but I still feel hot."
"I haven't been feeling well lately," Verak explained.
Colin rolled up the car window: "Okay, do you want to put on my clothes?"
"Thanks."
Verak put on the clothes Colin took off and suddenly felt hot and stuffy, but he still shrugged his shoulders 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. He quickly took off his coat and gave it back to Colin: "I'm here, let's get out of the car first."
"Okay, let's play together when we have time." Colin stuck his head out to say hello to Fletcher, and then left.
Verak walked in front of Fletcher, and Fletcher saw beads of sweat on Verak's forehead at a glance, and the clothes on his chest were even soaked: "Have you been discovered?"
"No, Mr. Fletcher." Verak pretended to be shocked.
"Let's go." Fletcher took Verak back to the living room.
In the living room, Carmine, Meira, and Kellerman were all there, sitting there quietly as they were yesterday, staring at Verak coldly.
"What happened when you went out with Mr. Colin? Tell me everything." Fletcher said.
Verak made a recollection, deleting the conversation and things he did with Colin tonight, and then said it intermittently: "...That's about it."
"You were so frightened that you broke out in a cold sweat. Mr. Colin didn't suspect you?" Fletcher asked.
"I said that because I haven't been feeling well lately and I tend to sweat easily when the weather is hot, Mr. Colin didn't doubt me." Verak explained.
Before he came back, he deliberately borrowed Colin's clothes to make himself sweaty, making the Carmine family and Fletcher think that he was timid and lowering his vigilance to a greater extent, laying the foundation for doing other things in the future.
"It's a near miss today. You must talk less in the future and try to avoid contact with people like Colin who are close to Chris." Carmine said, "You will stay here during this period. Don't worry about it for now.
Followed Chris’s itinerary.”
"Understood, Mr. Carmine." Verak responded quickly.
"Fletcher." Carmine looked at Fletcher.
Fletcher leaned forward: "Mr."
"You will stay with him during the next period of time and let him learn everything about Chris as soon as possible." Carmine said.
"Understood." Fletcher said.
"Let's all get some rest early." Carmine felt relieved, got up, took Meira and Kellerman away.
Fletcher and Verak returned to Chris' room.
"I don't want any unexpected situations to happen again." Fletcher's attitude was much worse than before. "From tomorrow on, you can only stay in this room and undergo more rigorous study and training. Just once
If you cannot satisfy me, I will make your two friends pay the price for you."
Verak still has great uses, Fletcher is not qualified to touch him, but Nord and Demps, who were originally brought in as Verak's help, have now become the most suitable hostages to threaten Verak.
"Mr. Fletcher, don't hurt them. I listen to you." Verak knew that Fletcher was afraid that he would swell after experiencing this day, so he wanted to wake himself up and return to reality.
Seeing Verak's frightened look, Fletcher knew that this poor boy from a remote country who had never seen the world was completely in his hands. He put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and a trace of contempt flashed on his face.
Turned around and left: "Let's rest first."
After Fletcher went out, Verak listened to the voice by the door as usual, and after confirming that he really left, he took out the note that Chloe had given to him from his pocket.
[Comrade Chris, the news that you are still alive inspires us all. Although we don’t know what method you used to escape the desperate situation, we know that you must have paid a lot of risks and costs. You don’t need to worry about us, traitor.
All have been eradicated, and our actions recently will be much more low-key. When you go to the classical concert tomorrow, we will find a way to get in touch with you to discuss the next development.]
After reading the contents of the note carefully and word for word, Verak's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He tried to calm himself down, read the words written to him by the rebel organization several times, and then handed the note over.
Tear it into pieces and throw it into the toilet.
"Okay..." After returning to the desk and sitting down, Verak couldn't help but whispered okay.
The message on this note brought him three pieces of news.
The first news is that at the classical concert that Chris regularly attends on Tuesday, the rebel organization will try to get in touch with him. It just so happens that Carmine has issued an order, and Chris is not allowed to go out during this period, but it is exempted.
The most difficult problem for Verak is how to communicate with the rebel organization without revealing his secrets.
The second news is that the rebel organization really thinks that Verak is Chris.
The third news is that the rebel organization needs to work with Chris to plan the next step of the rebel organization, which means that Chris is definitely a leader-level figure in the rebel organization.
