Verak very much hoped that Carmine would discover that the things were stolen tonight. In this case, the suspicion would be cleared after today's search, and he would no longer have to worry about being searched in the future. He could boldly put the things in his room and look through them at any time.
On the contrary, as long as Carmine does not discover the theft for a day, Verak will have to be on guard for searches all day and cannot get the files back at will. This will extremely affect his progress and slow down his efficiency.
Verak couldn't laugh or cry at the fact that he had stolen something and was so eager to be discovered by the owner.
After safely moving the things to Julia's room, he opened the books on the table and pretended to read, while his mind recalled the contents of the file bag.
Through a cursory reading, he already had a general understanding 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 responsibility and began to lead the rebel organization. However,
Within a few months, he had reached the same fate as Francis.
At first, Verak only thought that Chris was a core member of the rebel organization. This identity was neither high nor low in 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 use all their strength to break the balance.
It's just convenient for dealing with the Thomas family.
Now, things have gone beyond Verak's expectations. He has transformed and become the leader of a rebel organization with at least thousands of members. The situation is so good that it is almost crushed before, but this also brings some crises.
The first two heads of this organization are dead.
On the surface, he is the second head Chris, but in fact he is already the third leader of this organization. According to the previous rules, he may not be able to be the leader for too long and may die due to various special circumstances.
Becoming a member of a rebel organization is very hot in itself, but now that you have directly become the boss, it is no longer a question of whether it is hot or not...
Although Verak admires this group of people and thinks that what they are doing now is of the same nature as the thieves who robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and it is worthy of applause from the people at the bottom, but after all, it is a matter of losing one's head, and one has to risk one's life on this trip with him.
The new life he was striving for was different, and he never thought about getting too involved.
In order to prevent himself from being executed as a member of the rebel organization one day despite his identity as Chris, he could only speed up his plan as much as possible and collect the money and run away as soon as possible. And looking at the current situation, after collecting the money, he might be
I could no longer stay anywhere in Bressy, so I had no choice but to escape and live in another country.
Today is the tenth day of his rebirth. Only ten days have passed, and he feels that he has turned the original structure upside down, and revealed a trap that if not controlled well will lead to the total destruction of the rebel organization and the Thomas family.
"I really don't know what the future will be like..." Reality changes so fast that Verak can't imagine what the situation will look like in a while.
At this moment, he wanted to find something to relieve stress and relax the nerves that had been tense for ten days. But he unexpectedly discovered that he had not thought about smoking for ten days.
He used to be a smoker, and was forced to quit smoking after he was caught posing as Chris in his previous life. After his rebirth, it stands to reason that his body's dependence on cigarettes is still there, so he subconsciously smoked a few cigarettes in his pitiful little room, only to find that
Apart from feeling nauseous, I didn't feel any better physically or mentally.
"Huh..." Verak pondered this matter.
It seems that it is not only difficult to seek change in a life that remains unchanged, but it is also difficult to stay the same in a life that is constantly changing.
"Have dinner." Probably because there were no servants outside, Fletcher didn't bother to hide it and just opened the door and entered.
Verak put down his book, took a long breath, and followed Fletcher downstairs to eat.
The dinner was no different from the previous ones. Dempsey's death only caused huge waves in the dark.
After dinner, it was Verak's rest time, and Verak went back to the room and went to sleep directly. He had done enough today, and he needed to have a good rest and wait for Carmine to discover the theft.
…
A restaurant.
"Verak." Demps clinked glasses with Verak, "How was your stay in the Old South?"
"It's not bad. I can't spend all the money from the Thomas family in a hundred lifetimes." Verak smiled brightly, dressed luxuriously, and spoke with a bit more confidence and pride that he didn't have before. "It's a pity that I can't spend it abroad."
I don’t quite get used to it. If possible, I will return to Bressy after the storm has passed, go to the big cities in the south, and take you and Nord with me.”
Nord, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but asked: "Then can I drink twenty gold grams of Imbit wine?"
"Enough." Verak smiled slightly.
"Haha! I've seen so many rich people in the restaurant, and I've never heard any of them say that I'm a wine steward. We're really making a fortune this time!" Nord jumped excitedly.
"It's Verac who got mad, why are you excited?" Dempsey deliberately poured cold water on Nord with a straight face.
Nord was stunned.
Before Nord's face fell, Verak couldn't help but smile and said: "It's our money."
"Our money? You liar." Dempsey's face quickly sank.
Nord also began to look at Verak coldly.
The restaurant became dark, and a roar that almost pierced the eardrums came from somewhere.
…
Verak woke up suddenly, covered in cold sweat.
"Are you having a nightmare?" The light was on in the bedroom, and Fletcher stood beside the bed, expressionless.
"Yes...how did you..."
"I was going to wake you up, but you just woke up." Fletcher put his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp, as if he wanted to see through Verac's disguise, "Have you stolen anything from Mr. Carmine?"
Verak was still confused: "What?"
"If you admit it now, you can be saved from death. If we wait until we find Mr. Carmine's stolen things 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 Verak could finish speaking, Fletcher slapped Verak cleanly.
"Snapped!"
"Answer me, did you steal it or not?" Fletcher asked.
"No."
"Snapped!"
"Answer me, did you steal it or didn't you steal it?"
"Mr. Fletcher, I didn't..."
"Snapped!"
"Give you one last chance! Tell me! Did you steal it or not?"
Verak's eyes were bloodshot, and he trembled and covered his swollen face: "I don't, Mr. Fletcher."
After being slapped three times in a row by Fletcher, Verak seemed to have returned to his previous life. In his previous life, he was a slow learner, and Fletcher would teach him things by his side every day. As long as he paused or said a wrong word, Fletcher would
Tohru would slap him hard, or hit him with something, and insult him with the most vicious words. He was completely different from the usually gentle butler.
Verak performed very well in this life, Fletcher never showed his violent side, and now he finally shows his true face.
