Fletcher pulled Verak off the bed: "Go and stay in the bathroom. You are not allowed to come out without my permission."
Verak walked into the bathroom without saying a word and covering his face.
After closing the bathroom door, Fletcher began to search every corner of the bedroom. Verak could clearly hear the sound of drawers being pulled and cabinets being turned over in the bathroom. His eyes were cold, staring at himself in the mirror with half of his face red.
.
"Shua..."
The faucet poured cold water down. He stretched out his hand, moistened it, and then put it on his face to relieve the burning pain and reduce the swelling on his face as soon as possible.
The three slaps brought out all the humiliations he had experienced, and aroused the hatred and anger of Verak, whose character had changed during this period.
That is a devil who will trample him under his feet and push him and his best friend into the abyss.
"kill him!"
"kill him!"
"Just an old man!"
"You only need to stab his chest with a knife to avenge Nord and Dempsey!"
"Trample him under your feet, drive him like a dog, and throw him into the sewer to feed the rats!"
After experiencing a murder, Verak began to feel that killing was something that could easily solve any problem.
When his facial expression was about to lose control and his anger was about to swallow up his reason, he took a deep breath and plunged his head into the pool that was already filled with water.
The cold water stung his head and hurt a little. He opened his eyes angrily in the water and grabbed the edge of the sink with both hands.
"endure."
"Everything has just begun, we can't let all our efforts go to waste."
"Killing him now will not do you any good. Wait, wait, and give yourself another two months."
"Huh...huh..." Verak raised his head, water flowed down his hair, and his cheeks were soaked in his collar.
Looking in the mirror, his face changed from tense to pitiful at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Come out." After a while, Fletcher's voice came from outside.
Verak opened the bathroom door and walked out, looking at Fletcher with confusion and fear, who had turned the bedroom into a mess: "Mr. Fletcher..."
"Put the bedroom in order." Fletcher walked past Verak and walked into the bathroom to continue searching.
Verak slowly walked to the desk, rearranged the books, and closed the cabinets and drawers.
There were not many places to hide things in the bathroom. Fletcher walked out not long after. It seemed that he had no intention of apologizing or explaining anything to Verak. He just ordered to go to bed early and hurried out the door.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Verak, who was making the bed with his back to the door, raised his lips.
The search is over.
Go to Julia's room tomorrow to get the files back, and the plan will be officially on track. As long as everything goes smoothly, Verak will be able to get whatever he wants in less than two months.
Verak glanced at the clock. It was only eleven o'clock now. It was estimated that Carmine discovered the theft of the file after ten o'clock. Although he could not hear any movement outside now, Verak could fully expect that there was already a commotion outside.
sky.
Last night, Dempsey was assassinated in the mansion. Before the matter was settled, the next day the rebel organization and secret fund transaction bills were stolen from a secret compartment in the study.
The huge Thomas family mansion has become a place where the rebel organization can come and leave at will. Even Carmine's biggest secret hideout has been searched, which undoubtedly poked Carmine's sensitive nerves to the maximum extent.
What's more, since a few important files have been taken away, who can ensure that other information has not been read? And if you can kill someone quietly, who can guarantee that their family will not be in danger?
At night, Verak could have a good sleep and recuperate, but for the Thomas family, it was a sleepless night.
After ruling out Verak's suspicion, the only thing they can suspect now is the servant who comes into the study to clean the house at ten o'clock every day.
It's a pity that the servant really has no background, so they are destined to find no clues on the servant.
Finally, I'm afraid Fletcher will also be affected.
When things have reached this stage and there is no other way out, Carmine may not suspect that Fletcher is a spy in the rebel organization, otherwise too many things cannot be explained.
After achieving this step, Verak, who made the Thomas family panic, gradually became more ambitious.
Regarding their affairs, he didn't think too deeply about them. Let them make noise like ants on a hot pot tonight. As for the plan that could become more complicated, just take it step by step.
Verak stretched out in a rare and unusually comfortable manner and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Wednesday, July 26th
It was not Fletcher who woke up Verak in the morning, but a servant.
When we went down to the restaurant on the first floor for dinner, neither Carmine nor Mela were there, only their two daughters Kellerman and Julia were there.
Kellerman must also be an insider. He ate listlessly and left in a hurry after eating a few bites. Julia had to go to school and got up a little late today. She ate half of her meal before rushing to school by bus.
Only Verak ate leisurely.
At this time, the Thomas family and Fletcher were not here, so no one in this place knew that he was the fake Chris.
"Bring me a bottle of Chulais." Verak ordered the servant leisurely.
The servant brought wine and poured it for Verak. Verak took a sip and looked around the restaurant and several servants waiting for help at any time. The smile on his face became even stronger.
This is the life he has worked hard to live, but now he can only take advantage of the absence of the Thomas family and pretend to be a nobleman and enjoy it for a while. If he wants to truly live and truly enjoy this, he still needs to work hard.
Not immersed in this feeling for too long, Verak wiped his mouth with a napkin and went upstairs. While the servants were cleaning up the dining room, he walked directly into Julia's room, took out the file from under the bed and returned to the bedroom.
From today on, he can browse these contents with confidence.
Now that no one else was around, Verak did not pretend to follow Fletcher's instructions and read the books that he was not interested in. Instead, he started looking through the files according to the three-stage task he had set yesterday.
Start by looking at the list and select the core members of the rebel organization who are related to your apparent identity.
It took three or four hours to do this screening alone. Verak screened out a total of more than 200 people who more or less met the conditions.
He needs to investigate more than two hundred people, but the workload is too much. If he wants to find the highest cost performance, he has to further select a batch from them.
Through different degrees of contact, we achieve different levels of understanding.
After transcribing the list of more than 200 members of the rebel organization on a new notebook, Verak shook off his sore hand and looked at the time.
It's actually almost twelve o'clock.
It's coming soon.
Verak thought to himself.
On Thursday, that is, tomorrow night, Colin will invite Verak to watch the boxing match in the underground boxing ring.
When Verak came out with Colin last time, he was ready to recruit a reliable person in the underground boxing ring to do business on his and Colin's behalf.
But this outing is not just that simple. The rebel organization will definitely contact him. Verak needs to make preparations before tomorrow night and conduct in-depth second contact.
