Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at Clayton Gardens.
It is morning now, which is not the peak traffic period in Clayton Gardens, but it makes this place with pleasant scenery more quiet and suitable for relaxing.
Verak and Dempsey got out of the car and walked side by side.
Dempsey put his hands in his pockets, with a sullen face, acting like a bodyguard: "Look, that's the Moine River."
"I know." Verak looked at the Menne River that runs through the entire Lezeine next to the garden, "In fact, all the highlights of the People's Square, Moncey Palace, and even Lezeine are built along the banks of the Menne River.
It can be said that Lezein is the heart of Bressy, and the banks of the Menne River are the heart of Lezein.”
"You know so much now." Dempsey took a deep breath of fresh air and sighed, "We have all changed."
"It's only been a few days."
"Yes, it's only been a few days."
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
"Which direction is the hotel where you and Nord are staying?" Verak changed the subject.
Dempsey looked around and thought: "Let's go north."
Verak came to the river, held his hands on the guardrail, and looked to the north on the other side: "I don't know what Nord is like. That kid will suffer a lot by himself."
"Don't worry, Nord is fine." Dempsey patted Verak on the shoulder.
"I hope."
Verak stopped by the river for a while, and then walked with Dempsey to other parts of Clayton Gardens.
"Strange." Dempsey turned his head frequently.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you feel like someone was following us?" Dempsey always felt something was wrong.
"Stop thinking so wildly and take some time to 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. Instead, she came to where Verak had been standing by the river and pulled out a piece of paper from the gap in the guardrail. He opened it and quickly scanned it.
After finishing the content, he tore the note into pieces and threw it to the surface of the Mena River.
…
afternoon.
After visiting three places, Verak and Dempsey took the car back to the Thomas family mansion.
As soon as they got off the car and walked into the mansion, Fletcher walked out first: "Master Chris, how are you today?"
"Thank you for your concern. I feel much better after taking some time to relax. I hope my body can recover soon." Verak replied.
After entering the mansion, as expected, Fletcher asked Verak to go back to Chris's bedroom to rest, but Dempsey was nowhere to be found.
It was time to be alone again. Verak spread his hands and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling aimlessly.
The moment he stuffed the note in the guardrail by the river, he seemed to be missing something in his heart. Along the way, he searched over and over again to find what he had lost, but found nothing.
It should be that when it exists, you cannot feel its existence at all, and when it is lost, you can only feel what is lost.
Verak regretted bringing Nord and Dempsey with him. He realized that he was too naive at first. Friendship in the ghetto could hardly compete with the temptation of wealth and wealth. Maybe Fletcher had already agreed to his request.
Consider using friends to monitor and control yourself when necessary.
Here, there is no right or wrong, it's all about stance.
If Nord sticks to his bottom line, he will be killed. If Dempsey knows how to adapt, he will also be killed.
Verak hopes to have a chance to do it again. If there is still a chance, he will still choose to go to Lezein because he hates the fate of being trampled on. But Lezein is not suitable for Nord and Dempsey. He will
On that rainy night, let the two of them go back to their respective homes. Then, before the Thomas family arrived, he gave the single room he rented to Nord to live in, and left the camera to Dempsey.
Unfortunately it's too late.
"Don't make this mistake again in the future." Verak could only warn himself.
In the future, he needs to be more cautious and make decisions more calmly. This place is different from any other place, and his mistakes can lead to the death of innocent people.
Verak wants to get ahead and live a life that he never dared to imagine, but he doesn't want such a life to be obtained by staining the blood of his friends and innocent people. The mental torture will make him extremely painful and unable to taste it.
The joy of a luxurious life.
Putting all the distracting thoughts behind him, Verak regained his composure.
Today Carmine works, Julia goes to school, and Kellerman and his fiancé go out for dinner. Only Meira, who is across the door from the study, is there. Fletcher wants to ask Dempsey, and it takes a lot of questioning after a whole day.
time.
Now is a rare opportunity to sneak into the study.
Although Meera was at the opposite door of the study, it would be difficult for the other party to notice her as long as she didn't make too much noise.
Verak acted more decisively, and after going over the situation completely, he went out, followed the old way, first entered Julia's room, and then climbed through the window and reached Carmine's study smoothly.
A few days ago, due to the double surveillance of Fletcher and Dempsey, he had no chance to go out alone. He could only speculate in his mind, and finally listed the most suspicious bookshelf as the focus of today's search.
Just as he was told, Verak carefully searched the bookshelves in the study.
The difficulty of searching the bookshelves is much higher than that of the previous collection shelves. The number and level of detail have increased a lot. Verak is not sure how long Fletcher will ask Dempsey for. It has already passed since he has searched half of the bookshelves.
Half an hour later, just to be on the safe side, I had to return without success again.
After returning to the bedroom, Fletcher waited for more than an hour before bringing Dempsey over.
If Verak knew that there was still an hour left, it would definitely be enough to search the bookshelf. If the hidden compartment was really in the bookshelf, he would have even found Chris's information. But you can't have both gain and safety, so Verak doesn't care too much
These gains and losses.
"Continue your training." Back in the bedroom, Fletcher resumed his cold tone and conducted regular training on the two of them with a straight face.
Verak braced himself to deal with it.
After training again until dinner, Fletcher took Demps away.
Verak went out the window and looked at the stars boredly.
Tonight was probably the last time he and Dempsey saw each other. Verak said nothing to Dempsey in the end. He wanted to say something to his changed friend, but according to the efficiency of the rebel organization, I am afraid that
Demps will be dealt with tonight. If he behaves abnormally, Fletcher will most likely suspect him afterwards.
Knowing that it would be difficult for Dempsey to survive the night, Verak had no sleepiness and stood until two or three in the morning before forcing himself to fall asleep.
The next day.
Fletcher surprisingly did not wake him up to go to dinner. Verak fell asleep and woke up naturally. When he looked at the time, it was already past ten o'clock.
It was not until before lunch that Fletcher knocked on the door and came in, apologetically: "I'm sorry, Dempsey has returned to the hotel for some reasons that cannot be explained at the moment. I will find a way to get him to come back after a while.
"
These words are no different from announcing death.
