Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 42 Good News

  Backing back to the mansion late at night, Fletcher was still the only one waiting. After routinely asking Veraker what he was doing that night, he let him go back to the bedroom.

  After returning to the bedroom with only Verak himself, he didn't feel relieved, because perhaps he had gotten used to the disguise, and he performed a series of performances today with ease, and he wasn't particularly tense, so he didn't feel tired.

  Taking off his clothes, Verak planned the follow-up arrangements while taking a shower in the bathroom.

  There is no need to meet with Colin during the daytime tomorrow. You just need to meet with Diaz and learn about his investigation. If it passes the second test and there are still objects suspected to be Nord, Verak will conduct a visit and investigation during the day, if not, then Nord should have encountered an accident...

  As for the evening, the charity gala is just a process, just complete the consumption tasks arranged by Carmine and Fletcher. It won't take long, and there is no need to make any careful plans.

  The hot water flows from top to bottom, moisturizing the body.

   "Huh..." Verak only hoped that he would get good news tomorrow no matter what.

  …

  July 30, Sunday

   Before the servant came to wake Verak up, he had already finished washing. Yesterday he had a dream in which Diaz knocked on his door in the middle of the night and told him Nord was dead. After having this dream, he never fell asleep again in the second half of the night.

  As the only remaining best friend of Verak, Nord's life or death has always been a torment in his heart. Dempsey's betrayal and death have made Verak extremely guilty. If Nord also dies, even if he makes a lot of money and leaves Lazein, he will leave the most important place in his heart here forever.

   "Master Chris." The servant came.

  Verak stepped forward to open the door: "Let's go."

   Saved the time for washing and dressing, Verac came to the restaurant first and waited for more than ten minutes before the Carmines came down one after another. As soon as the whole family arrived, the servants brought breakfast.

   After saying hello to the family, Verak had breakfast.

   "Do you have any plans recently?" During the meal, Carmine asked Verak about today's arrangements.

  Villac could have suspense with Fletcher, but he didn't dare to play tricks in front of Carmine, so he immediately answered the arrangement for tonight: "I plan to participate in a charity gala tonight and donate a sum of money."

   "Not bad." Carmine's eyes lit up, and he was very satisfied with the use of Verak's money, "But can you do it alone? There is no female companion."

  Verak didn't expect this question. When attending a formal party, you usually bring a female companion with you, but fortunately, the female companion is not mandatory. He thought about it and said: "It's a small party, not so formal. It's enough for me to go through the scene, There should be no need for a female companion."

   "Okay, it's up to you. If you need anything, you can talk to us or Fletcher." Carmine didn't care much.

   "Thank you father." Verak smiled.

   After breakfast, after the Carmine family was busy with their own business, Verac went out and asked Daniel to send him to the residence that Colin had arranged for Diaz.

   "I'm going to visit a friend, you wait in the car." Verac patted Daniel on the shoulder, got out of the car, and looked around the street. This place is fairly remote, and it's a good place for Diaz to live.

  Entering the apartment building on the side of the street, Verac found Diaz's room, knocked on the door and said, "Diaz, it's me."

The sound insulation of the house is poor. As soon as Verac finished speaking, he heard footsteps approaching quickly in the room. Then the door opened, and Diaz, who was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, invited Verac to enter: "Mr. Chris , good morning, please come in."

   "Good morning." Verac walked in and commented on Diaz's outfit casually, "You seem to like the simple combination of black and white, and you especially like white shirts."

   "Is it informal? I'm sorry, Mr. Chris, I didn't pay much attention to the clothes." Diaz thought that his dressing was impolite to Chris, and quickly apologized.

"No, I just said it casually, don't be so nervous." Verak looked at the room. The room is not big. One side of the living room is the bedroom and bathroom, and the other side is the kitchen and balcony. He came to the sofa and sat down. "How things had been?"

"Twenty-four suspects were tested yesterday according to your request, and one of them had a very strange expression after hearing what you asked me to say, and he grabbed my clothes and asked me a man named 'Verak' Where." Diaz described his results.

  Verak was both delighted and shocked when he heard this sentence.

   If he can call his real name, he must be Nord, and Nord is still alive!

   "Was that person seen by others when he was pulling with you?" Verak suppressed his joy and asked the most critical question first. He was worried that Nord's question would arouse the vigilance of the watchers.

"That was the last person I was looking for. It was early in the morning when I found him, and there was no one around. Although he was very excited when he asked me, he asked in a low voice. When I broke free and fled, he didn't follow ’” Diaz recalled the details.

  Verak breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little puzzled that Nord didn't keep up. Since there was no one around, according to Nord's temperament, he should pester Diaz to ask about the situation, but he didn't do so.

  There are only two possibilities, either someone is still watching him in the dark, or Nord can't leave his room for some reason.

  However, in Verak's view, this is already a trivial matter. He is sincerely happy to know that Nord is still alive and has grown up and knows how to lower his voice so as not to disturb others to ask about the situation.

   "Where is this person?" Verak asked slowly.

   "Live in Room 7 on the fourth floor of the Rowede Hotel in the North District." Diaz remembers this very clearly.

   Knowing that Nord was still alive, Verak was relieved. Because there are members of the Thomas family in the hotel who are still under house arrest, he is inconvenient to go to see Nord in person, so he has to arrange for Diaz: "That person is a very important friend of mine, but someone put him under house arrest. I can’t see him, and I can’t explain anything to him. Next, I want you to do one thing for me, move to live in the Lovid Hotel, don’t attract anyone’s attention, and protect him secretly.”

  Diaz doesn’t have anything important to do at the moment, so sending him to protect Nord is a good choice.

  Diaz didn't ask more about the things behind the matter, but was a little worried: "Don't you still need me to help you with some business?"

   "Business matters for a while, but if Colin asks you, you just say that you have been doing it all the time, and let him ask me for specifics." Verak said.

   "Understood." Diaz acted quickly and started to pack his things immediately, "Then I'm leaving now."

   "Okay." Verak also got up, "Also, you have to remember that these things are top secret, only you and I know, and Colin or anyone else must never find out."
