"Demps?" Verak stood up, but did not step forward immediately, "Why are you here? Where is Nord?"
"Long time no see, Verak!" Dempsey stepped forward and hugged Verak, "I thought we were all going to die..."
"No, Mr. Fletcher will not kill us." Verak said.
Fletcher finally explained: "Do you still remember our agreement? I said that I would arrange for your friends to stay with you as soon as possible. During this time, I also trained two of your friends. Among them, Dempsey's
The progress is the fastest and he just reached the target today, so I brought him here, and he will stay with you as your personal bodyguard from now on."
There was always something wrong, but before Verak had time to think about it, he made the most appropriate reaction under the circumstances. He ecstatically held Dempsey's shoulders, with the brightest smile on his face in the past few days:
"Thank you Mr. Fletcher! I will work harder and won't let you down!"
"Haha." Fletcher smiled slightly and went out, "You guys should reminisce about the past first."
After the door closed, Verak leaned at the door as usual to confirm that Fletcher was gone, and finally showed his true emotions. His face no longer had an attentive smile, but was full of worry: "How is Nord at the hotel?"
"It's okay, they didn't abuse us, they just didn't allow us to go out," Dempsey said.
"In my impression, Nord's learning progress should be much faster than yours. Why did you come first?"
"Verak, you have to be careful." Dempsey said something that made Verak puzzled.
Verak's face quickly darkened: "What do you mean?"
"The old man didn't bring me here for some bullshit promise, he sent me to monitor you." Dempsey approached Verak, "Nord learned faster than me, but he rejected Fletcher's deal.
And I agreed on the surface, but in fact it was to deliver news to you."
"So it's not about who learns quickly, but who accepts Fletcher's deal to come here?" Verak couldn't figure out what went wrong with him, and it aroused Fletcher's vigilance so early in this life.
He arranged for his friends to monitor him.
"That's right." Dempsey lowered his voice, "Fletcher said that after half a year everything is calm, we will get rid of you and let the secret remain a secret forever. If we want to live, we must be used by him and help him monitor you.
If you follow the trend, you can get a generous salary and leave Lezein in half a year."
Verak frowned: "Half a year?"
He was eliminated in two months in the last life, why did it become half a year this time? He probably hasn't done anything that can affect the future, so the sudden extension to half a year is too weird. And no matter what, even if Fry
Che really wanted to get rid of him in half a year, so how could he tell Demps such an important thing so casually?
"Yes." Dempsey didn't know what Verak was wondering about, so he continued, "It's only half a year."
"Nord rejected Fletcher's request, will something happen?" Verak was more concerned about Nord's situation.
"He's fine now. Fletcher didn't touch him," Dempsey replied.
Verak rubbed the bridge of his nose: "Perhaps he is afraid of an accident. He has been threatening me with your safety. As long as there is a possibility that I will refuse to obey his orders, he will not be able to do it for a small person.
Little Nord, force me to drag the Thomas family to death together."
"What are your thoughts now?" Demps asked, "I think we have to hurry up and find a way to escape from here."
"Did Fletcher reveal any useful information when he made a deal with you?" Verak did not answer what Dempsey was eager to know, and chose to continue to learn more about the matter first, "For example, why do you want to monitor me?
And why do you want to get rid of me after half a year?"
"No, he didn't say anything." Dempsey shook his head, "I'm also curious, what did you do to make him so wary of you?"
The two looked at each other.
"I didn't do anything, I just worked diligently and tried my best to do everything he asked me to do. But I didn't expect that it would end like this... I would definitely die in half a year? Haha..." Verak smiled helplessly.
"That's strange. You obviously didn't do anything. Why did he bring me here to spy on you?" Dempsey looked puzzled. "Verak, think about it carefully. Have you ever done anything bad?"
?”
Verak lay on the bed: "What can I do? I am just a puppet at the mercy of others, a chess piece that will be discarded after use. What do you want me to do? Go against Fletcher and even the entire Thomas family.
?I dare not, and it is impossible for me to do it.”
"Then let me go talk to Fletcher? If we keep to ourselves and really haven't done anything detrimental to them, they probably won't kill us all." Dempsey reassured.
"It's useless. It can be seen that Fletcher is determined to want me to die." Verak looked pale and seemed weak when he spoke, "That's it. At least if I die, you can live.
Go down. It’s better than you and I standing on the same front and being eliminated together in the end. It’s just Nord, he’s too single-minded, and I’m afraid he’ll be in trouble..."
"Leave Nord's affairs to me." Dempsey walked to the bedside and looked down at the slumped Verak, "At least in Fletcher's eyes now, I am his. As long as I can find a way to convince Nord,
It should be okay to ask him to be a little flexible and just superficially obey Fletcher like me. As for you, don't be discouraged. There are still half a year left, and we have plenty of opportunities to escape Lezein."
Verak closed his eyes and covered his face with his hands: "Let me rest, I'm very tired."
"...Okay." Dempsey agreed, "I'm going out first, Fletcher will arrange a room for me."
"Where are you going to live?" Verak asked.
"I think I live in the same place as the servant. Living with you will reveal my secret." Dempsey patted Verak, "Cheer up, I'm leaving first."
Verak did not respond or move until he heard the sound of the door opening and closing. Then he slowly took his hands off his face, showing an expression of disbelief.
"Nord..."
Endless sadness welled up from my heart.
If it were Verak in the previous life, no matter how poor Dempsey's acting skills were or how illogical his rhetoric was, he would not have the slightest doubt and would tell him everything he had without any hesitation.
But now, he saw through Dempsey's disguise at a glance. It was a truth that he was very unwilling to face. After repeatedly getting confirmation from Dempsey's mouth several times, he had no choice but to face it.
Demps was really bought by Fletcher.
Nord is also very likely to have encountered something unexpected.
