Half an hour later, the motorcade returned to the Thomas family mansion.
Fortunately, there is heavy rain today, otherwise the large-scale outing of the Thomas family will definitely attract attention, and it will be very difficult to explain to the outside world. This also means that if the opportunity does not come, if Verak is not eradicated today, it will be even harder in the future.
.
Arriving in front of the mansion, Verak waited for Fletcher to open the door and hold an umbrella for him before getting out of the car.
Carmine was determined to win today's plan, so he sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, listening to the sound of rain, closing his eyes and relaxing, waiting for Fletcher to report the situation.
The rain was loud, but Carmine still heard the footsteps entering the hall that could not be made by one person.
In other words, it wasn't just Fletcher who came to the hall.
He frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and saw Verak, who was completely unscathed except for being soaked by the rain, and Fletcher, who exuded an aura of incompetence and rage: "Tell me, what happened."
"You are calmer than I thought." Verak bowed and saluted as usual, expressing admiration and ridicule that he and Carmine had met again, "I think it is necessary for us to have a good talk."
Carmine did not pay attention to Verak for the first time, but looked at Fletcher indifferently. Fletcher walked up to Carmine and told what happened in his ear. He learned that this afternoon
Looking at the situation outside, Carmine's face showed a hint of severity.
"Come to my study." Carmine stood up and went upstairs alone.
Verak followed.
"When did you get in touch with those people? Or...you were originally one of them, and we found it from Tswold. It was just part of your plan to break into the Thomas family and cannibalize the Thomas family." Carmine
He sat down at the desk slowly and asked in a calm tone.
Verak didn't care whether Carmine invited him to sit down, he sat directly opposite Carmine, crossed his legs, and acted more calmly than Carmine: "No comment."
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Carmine kept staring at Verak's eyes, trying to see something in them.
"Peace and deal." Five words popped out of Verak's mouth, and he stared at Carmine without fear.
"Peace?" Carmine snorted disdainfully, picked up a cigar and lit it, took a deep breath and blew out the smoke toward the window, "Do you think there is still peace at this point?"
Verak said: "If it is a long-term peace, it will naturally not exist. What I want is a short period of peace that is enough for the transaction to be completed smoothly."
"So... what deal do you want to make?" Carmine's sharp eyes like eagle eyes penetrated the swirling smoke.
"Remember that stolen secret bill?" Verak asked.
Carmine's pupils shrank, and after a few seconds, he took another puff of cigar: "Did you steal it? That man named Dempsey, the so-called companion of yours, was it you who also got rid of him?"
"It's no longer important who the murderer is." Verak never answers this kind of question directly, leaving it more complicated for the other party to think about it. "What's important is whether you want to pay back this bill."
When things have developed to this point, there is nothing left to hide. Verak plans to make a deal with Carmine directly, asking him to spend a huge sum of money to redeem the bill, and then sell another copy to Paramount Company.
Even sold to more forces.
Earn more money from the Thomas family while further killing them.
"Quote a price." Carmine knew that Verak wanted money.
Verak leaned forward, raised his index finger, and deliberately slowed down his speech: "One...thousand...ten thousand...gold...grams..."
Carmine chuckled and shook his head slightly: "You look so extraordinary, you should know what ten million gold grams means, right? Even if I can take it out, can you catch it?"
"Since you think I'm not simple anymore, why do you still think the price I quoted is baseless?" Verak did not give in. Although 10 million gold grams was indeed very high in his opinion, he also
Try to touch Carmine's bottom.
"You didn't look at the bill, did you? If you had, you wouldn't have quoted such an unrealistic price." Carmine said with a joking look on his face.
The total remittances recorded by Carmine to the powerful people recorded in those bills were only about 10 million. Verak's request for equal redemption now is really unreasonable. According to Carmine's character, he would rather spend this money to smoothen relationships.
, and will not be at the mercy of Verak.
"Pierre Trichet, deputy governor of the Central Bank of Bressy. Louvier Rode, president of the High Court of Lezein..." Verac casually listed a few people with records in the bills, and Carmel
Senior officials with whom En has close contacts confirmed that they had seen the bill, "I know that this amount is even higher than your total bribes over the years. But this is not how business is negotiated, and you don't have to beat around the bush with me."
Carmine narrowed his eyes.
"This ten million buys the safety of a top consortium with annual profits of more than fifty million. Compared with the huge wealth that can be counted in the long run, ten million gold grams is really not enough, right?" Verak asked rhetorically.
"Ha..." Carmine held his cigar in his mouth and looked at Verak in surprise. This timid boy asked him stupid questions on the court some time ago, but today he could actually talk to him without changing his expression.
When talking about business, "I sometimes make mistakes..."
"Everyone has it." Verak agreed on this point.
Carmine put out his cigar: "One million gold grams, divided into three installments, I will give it to you one after another within six months."
"Are you kidding? Carmine?" Verak didn't even bother to use the honorific, and mocked Carmine mercilessly, "It's not like you can come up with such a stupid plan."
Verak saw that Carmine was testing him.
In terms of money and time.
No matter which of these two points I compromise on, Carmine will be able to obtain information.
"Let's do this, I'll give you a more suitable plan." Verak responded after thinking for a while, not forgetting to test Carmine, "Fifteen million in half a year, divided into six installments.
Pay it off gradually, and at the same time, we will return the bill to you."
In Verak's proposal, the time has not changed, and the transaction funds are half higher than the original price. This shows that the Equality Association is not in urgent need of money, but also has the strength and confidence to bid a higher price.
As for dividing it into six phases, Verak added some feasibility to this proposal.
It is undoubtedly easier to pay the Equality Society in six installments than to pay it off in one lump sum. Verak will never stay in Lezein for another six months, so if possible, he will run away after receiving the first installment of money.
It is also a good choice to use the money to develop the Equality Association, and it is considered that the Equality Association is not used in vain.
As for the final test, the bill will not be returned to Carmine until the money is paid off in half a year.
If Carmine agrees, or does not delve into this point, it means that he has enough ways to solve the Equality Council or resolve the crisis within half a year. If he does not agree and tries to extend the time, it means that he is
There will be nothing you can do if you still get equality within half a year.
