MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 3 counterfeit

  Chapter 3 Counterfeiting

   "Boom."

  Two trucks passed the steelmaking plant near the slum area, and there was a loud sound of machines running inside.

   Dempsey looked at this ghostly place where he had to work for more than fourteen or five hours a day, and when it was the worst, he was squeezed day and night, looking fascinated.

  Just over ten minutes ago, the three of their friends who had known each other for many years were still drinking happily, but in a blink of an eye they were already sitting in the car heading to the capital Lazein.

  Nord has basically recovered, and looked at the smiling Fletcher very apprehensively.

   "Can you tell me what's going on?" Although Veraker knew everything, he still had to keep asking, so as not to make Fletcher suspicious.

"Ten minutes have passed, and you finally remembered to ask me why I took you to Laizein. I thought you really planned to live a life of prosperity and wealth directly." Fletcher laughed and cut to the point : "Do you know the Thomas family?"

   Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"The Thomas family runs the largest phonograph company and record company in the Republic of Brescia. And I, Fletcher, the housekeeper of the Thomas family." The housekeeper Fletcher said, "Chris, the only son of our boss, Mr. Carmine, , died unexpectedly a few days ago while messing with the singers under the company..."

  Nord raised his eyebrows slightly.

Fletcher saw it, and continued to speak slowly: "This incident has become a big scandal, a laughing stock, and the Thomas family can't hold up their heads in the capital, so we found you pretending to be Chris, let this incident become a rumor, absolutely not Influence the marriage between Mr. Carmine's eldest daughter, Kellerman, and the Finn family."

  Verak listened carefully, but sneered at Fletcher's remarks in his heart.

  In fact, Thomas Chris didn’t die because of this kind of stupid thing that was bound to be published in the entertainment section of the newspaper. This was just a childish rhetoric designed to deceive his puppet.

   Fletcher deceived him in the same way in his last life, and he didn't know the truth until he was designed to die unexpectedly.

In fact, Chris was a core member of an organization that attempted to overthrow the new government of the Republic of Bresci. He used his position in the family property to provide various kinds of help to the rebel army, which greatly promoted its activity in the capital Lezein. Spend.

  A few days ago, Chris was accidentally exposed and was arrested by government forces. When he was desperate, he chose to commit suicide by drinking a bullet. Although the government forces did not find anything from him that could prove his identity, he is not an unknown person, and it will be a matter of time before he is identified.

  After there are clues, the Thomas family will definitely be targeted by the sensitive government.

   Once the identity of Chris is confirmed, this iron-blooded government that has just been established for a long time is bound to use vigorous and fierce methods to bring down the thriving Thomas family overnight.

   Therefore, when Carmine first learned that Chris had an accident and dragged the family business into the abyss, he immediately began to prepare for a solution.

  This is how the housekeeper Fletcher went to the small border town of Zward to find Verak, who looks exactly like Chris.

   Now, Verac has become the key to saving the Thomas family.

   "I think you must be wondering why you were asked to impersonate Chris." Butler Fletcher took out a photo of Chris and handed it to Verac.

  Verak took it and checked it with Nord and Dempsey.

  The person in the photo looks exactly the same as Veraker, with black hair and blue eyes, piercing eyes, and three-dimensional facial features. Except for the luxurious clothes and different temperament, there is no difference at all.

   "My God..." Nord and Dempsey murmured in unison.

  Verak also widened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.

Fletcher had expected their expressions to be like this, and squinted his eyes to give them a little time to digest the information, and then continued: "When you arrive in Lezein, you will pretend to be Chris who has no accidents, Attend some important occasions and break the rumors. If you succeed, you can continue to enjoy an honorable life in Laizein as Chris. If you fail...I will personally throw the bodies of the three of you into the sewer to feed the rats. "

   At the last threat, Fletcher deliberately paused every word, causing Nord and Demps to tremble in unison.

   "Understood." Verak nodded worriedly.

Fletcher saw Veraker's calm performance in his eyes: "We are expected to arrive in Laizein at 7 o'clock tomorrow night, and there will be a dinner party at the Thomas family at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow. Many celebrities will go there, and you will Debut at this dinner, busting rumors as Chris."

   "It's too urgent, isn't it?" Dempsey shook his head and said, "It's only been less than two days, how could Veraker pretend in front of so many people?"

   Seeing Dempsey interrupting indiscriminately, Veraker was worried that he would offend the moody butler, so he stopped him and asked himself, "Why can't we wait any longer?"

   "Because there is no time, we can't let the rumors continue to ferment." Fletcher explained.

   Fletcher's words are half true and half false. Although it has nothing to do with the rumors, time is indeed running out.

  The security department of the government is still inquiring about Chris's identity, and it won't be long before the Thomas family is suspected. It's not so easy to get away with it by waiting until they start investigating before thinking about forgery.

  The safest way is to let Verak appear on the stage before they have any doubts, and kill any thoughts of the government that are not good for the Thomas family in the cradle.

   "Okay." Verak agreed.

"So you need to make good use of your time." Fletcher looked at Verac and took out a booklet, "There are all the people you may contact next, as well as the corresponding information. You need to , Write down the contents verbatim."

  Nord, who was even more nervous than Veraker, hurriedly asked: "Isn't there a banquet the night after tomorrow? Why do you have to remember it before you go to Laizein?"

It just rained today, and it was quite cold in the middle of the night. Fletcher put on his top hat and still looked at Veraker: "I hope you will not be like your friend, stupid enough to think that you will write down what you will come into contact with next. You can pretend to be Chris without anyone being suspicious. There are still a lot of things you need to prepare in the past two days, so hurry up and start."

   "There are so many contents in the booklet, how can it be possible to remember it all day..." Nord knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, but he still couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart, and said worriedly to Dempsey.

   "I can't help it, I can only look at Verak's." Dempsey sighed.

  Fletcher looked at the two people in a mess, full of disdain, but he looked a little higher at Verak who was sitting in the middle and leisurely flipping through the booklet.
