Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 37 Naming

   Back and forth, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the mansion, and we had to wait for Daniel's news. Verac went upstairs and entered the bedroom to digest some people that Chloe had identified so far.

  Chloe’s work efficiency is very high, and she has already found out the information of more than 20 payees on the bill:

  Pierre Trichet, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Brecy. Fifty-seven years old, born in Pusica, graduated from the National Higher Engineering and Technology University of Brescia and the National School of Administration of Brescia. He was Minister of Finance three years ago and Deputy Governor of the Central Bank a year ago. Accused of giving false testimony in a credit case seven months ago, the court finally acquitted.

   Louville Lord, President of the Superior Court of Laizein. Sixty-two years old, born in Leizein, graduated from the Faculty of Law of the Imperial University of Brescia.

  …

  Everyone who has a large amount of financial transactions with the Thomas family holds high positions in the Bresci power system. This is an obvious political and business collusion. Judging from the earliest time of the bill, Carmine has used twenty years to reach deep connections with big figures who are of great benefit to his company, and has built a huge umbrella for Thomas Corporation.

   Over the years, Carmine has sent millions of gold grams just to Pierre, Louville and others. A total of nearly ten million gold grams has been spent on this bill. Although it cost a lot of money to bind these big figures together, it also allowed Thomas to go smoothly to the present under the aegis, and became a large consortium with light weight. The profit in the latest quarter alone exceeded 15 million gold grams. .

   "Oh my God..." After looking through the information of more than 20 people, Verak couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

  Thomas' family background and network of contacts far exceeded his imagination. Even if the ulterior motives of the specific transaction between the two parties were found out, they would have been stopped by Carmine's 'allies' before the bribery evidence reached the hands of those who could influence the life and death of the Thomas family.

   It seems that it is not so easy to compete with the Thomas family. Verac realized that he had gone too smoothly recently, coupled with his lack of knowledge of the consortium, he seriously underestimated Carmine. Carmine can get to this position, how can he be easily defeated by Verak.

  But Verac doesn't feel that he really has nothing to do with the Thomas family.

  It is useless for him to hold this information, even if it is coerced by the rebel organization, it will be difficult to play the greatest role, but if it is handed over to the opponents of the Thomas family, the situation will be completely different.

  In this intricate Laizein, the Thomas family is not the only one, and they can't cover the sky with one hand. This bill is handed over to opponents who are similar in strength to the Thomas family. They are bound to use this bill to destroy the Thomas family, and then eat them ruthlessly.

  If this bill is really so powerful, then its value must exceed tens of millions of gold grams!

  Verak's eyes were fiery. He didn't pay much attention to this bill before, and only regarded this bill as a trump card to save his life. Now it seems that this thing is the biggest treasure!

  Even if the value cannot reach tens of millions, a million is not a big problem. And this number coincides with Verak's target number. In other words, as long as he can sell the bill for one million gold grams, he can leave Laizein immediately.

   As for how to sell it safely, this is the next question Verac needs to think about.

  If the next focus is on selling bills, then Verak will get the money a lot earlier and run away. Dealing with other financial groups is very risky, but staying here will also increase the risk. In the end, no one knows which path to choose will be the right choice. Verak can only take one step at a time.

Collecting the bill and the information collected by Chloe, Verac plans to wait for Daniel to come, and then ask him to ask Chloe to investigate the companies that are hostile to the Thomas family, and then contact them as a rebel organization. Whoever bids the highest will sell to whom.

   At six o'clock, a whistle sounded outside. Verak went to the window, saw Daniel came back, and went downstairs to meet him.

   "How is it?" Verak asked after getting into the car.

   "Comrade Chloe said that tomorrow's meeting is mainly to discuss with you the specific follow-up development plan of the organization, and to name the organization." Daniel replied.

   "Named?"

   "Yes, Comrade Chloe said that the organization has been established for more than a year and has never had an official name. This makes our organization look vague, which is not conducive to absorbing new members and spreading our ideas."

   "Also..." Verak thinks it's quite reasonable. You can't always call the rebel organization like this. It makes others feel extremely dangerous just by hearing the name. Moreover, the organization's appeal and positioning are not clear, which is easy to cause misunderstanding.

  When he first heard the name, he also thought that Chris and the others wanted to overthrow Bresci’s regime. In fact, they just wanted to overthrow the current unreasonable system and give workers and other low-level people more freedom and equality.

  Although both have subversive influence on Bresi’s regime and consortium, the latter sounds obviously more “harmless to humans and animals”.

   "I see." Verak considered whether to cancel tomorrow's meeting.

  After much deliberation, he decided to attend, because detailed planning and naming are all urgent issues that the organization needs to solve. He can cancel the meeting, but he can't always avoid it. Instead of delaying the progress of the plan, it is better to solve the problem early and reduce the burden.

"Go and tell Comrade Chloe that I will attend tomorrow's meeting on time. I hope they will be more careful not to be found." Verak made a decision, "Also, inform Comrade Chloe to investigate the relationship with The companies and forces hostile to the Thomas family, I need their detailed information."

  I will meet Chloe tomorrow, but Verac still asked Daniel to ask for it today. After all, every extra day you stay in Laizein is more dangerous. Of course, it is best to find out the information arrangement plan as soon as possible.

   "Okay, Mr. Chris." Daniel was not bored by running around, and still maintained a full and motivated attitude.

   "Just go on your own, don't drive. If Fletcher or someone sees you driving away for a few hours at a time, it will arouse their suspicion." Verak warned.

  Just now Daniel's horn honking in front of the mansion has already made him feel very nervous.

  This young man is still a little rash in his actions.

   "Then I'll go now." Daniel got out of the car.

   "Be careful on the road, it's still a tense period." Verak also got out of the car and reminded in a low voice.

   "Yeah." Daniel turned to leave with a serious expression on his face.

  Looking at Daniel's leaving back, Verak heaved a long sigh and returned to the mansion.
