Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 8 Check-in

  Carmine, who had short blond hair, a beard, and a sharp-edged face, as well as Meera and Kellerman, all looked at Verak with a little disbelief. Only Julia, who was sitting on the right side and was still underage, with her hair tied up, showed a trace of sadness in addition to shock.

   Verak, who didn't get the slightest response, didn't feel any discomfort, because he had already experienced this scene. In this life, he was not as nervous as before, but seemed much calmer.

  The clock hanging in the living room was beeping "tick tock". After an unknown amount of time, Carmine's snort was heard clearly, and he stood up: "That's it."

   After finishing speaking, she left the table first, followed by Meera and Kellerman, and Julia looked at Veraker as she walked.

  Fletcher bowed to Carmine's back: "Then I'll arrange for him to stay."

  After the Thomas family left, Fletcher looked at Veraker: "Let's go."

  The two passed through the living room, and ascended the second floor from the spiral stairs on both sides. There are countless rooms on both sides of the corridor on the second floor. Fletcher led Veraker to the side: "Mr. Carmine's family lives on this floor. Without my company, you can't come out and walk around, let alone come in and out at will." Any room."

"clear."

  After walking to the end of the corridor, Fletcher opened the door at the end and walked in: "This is Master Chris's room."

  Verak followed.

  The decoration of the room is the same as the living room, bright and spacious, and there is a separate bathroom on the other side. Beautiful decorations, carpets, beds, desks and cloakrooms made of expensive wood are all very eye-catching. However, related to Chris' preferences, the layout of the bedroom is relatively simpler.

  Fletcher went to the window and closed the curtains: "Master Chris's things during his lifetime are basically kept in their original positions. Although you want to live here, you are not allowed to move around at will."

   "Understood." Verac stood in the middle of the bedroom and looked at Fletcher.

"You continue to write down the things in the booklet, and then go to bed early to recover your energy." Verak only slept for a few hours today, and Fletcher can see that he is a little tired and not in a good state of mind. "Tomorrow morning I will Will come to wake you up and have breakfast with Mr. Carmine's family."

"clear."

  Fletcher took a deep look at Veraker, and seemed a little worried, but within a few seconds, he still left the room.

  Villac walked to the door and listened to the sound with his ear pressed against the door. After making sure that Fletcher had left, he turned around and took a long breath, looking around the familiar room.

  He lived here for two months, but because he never questioned Fletcher's statement, he always naively thought that Chris really died of fucking, so he always kept the warning in mind and didn't flip anything here.

   Today, everything is very different. He will no longer be at the mercy of others like before, and the Chris in his eyes is no longer the **** who only knows how to have fun.

  The information about the rebel organization in this room should have been confiscated long ago. After all, Carmine would not leave such important things in a room that is now inhabited by outsiders. But there might be some hidden compartments, or other undiscovered hiding spots.

  Verak wants to know more about Chris and his connection with the rebel organization, so he must find out more clues.

  He did not expect the possibility of a dark room or a secret passage in the house. Because if there is, Carmine, as the owner of the house, will not be unaware of it, and if he knows, he will definitely clean up the contents, and will not leave it to Verak to discover.

  Through the thoughts in his mind, Verak began to search carefully.

  The regular places like drawers, cabinets, and under the bed, although the Carmines must have looked for them a long time ago, Verac still didn't let them go. But unfortunately, he searched for more than an hour and still got nothing.

   Then there are only three possibilities left. The first one is that Chris hides very well and cannot be found in a short while. The second is that all the clues have been collected or erased by Carmine. The third type is that Chris's important information is not placed in his bedroom, but in other places.

   Fortunately, these three possibilities are not a dead end for Verak.

The first. He can take his time, he has enough time.

  The second type. He might as well sneak into Carmine's study room. He might not only find Chris's stuff, but also other information worth working on.

   The third type. Chris's other places are nothing more than the office, a few places he often visits. Verak knows all about these things, and I will have plenty of time to investigate them in the future.

   Get this thing done and today will be nothing.

  Verak went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then stared at himself in the mirror, which was a brand new, third self.

   "Verak. Moster Verak." He called his name, "Live a different life."

   It seems to be encouraging yourself, like a promise.

   After saying this, Verak stretched himself, wiped his body clean, and fell asleep peacefully with excitement.

  The next day, Monday, July 17.

  Although Veraker woke up very early, he still lay on the bed pretending to be asleep, waiting for Fletcher to arrive. Not long after, Fletcher knocked on the door, but Verak deliberately did not respond.

   After knocking on the door a few times, there was no movement. Fletcher chose to push the door and enter. Seeing that Veraker was still lying on the bed, he raised his voice and said, "Master Chris, it's time for breakfast."

   "...Huh?" Verak rubbed his eyes and got up in a daze.

   "What time did you see in the booklet yesterday?" Fletcher asked after glancing at the booklet next to Verac's pillow.

   "I don't know... Anyway, I saw it very late, and I fell asleep before I knew it." Verak replied.

  Fletcher was very satisfied, but still said: "I told you to go to bed early, you didn't seem to be in a good state of mind yesterday."

   "Mr. Fletcher, I promise, I'm in good shape." Verac promised sincerely.

   "Okay, wash up and get dressed and come downstairs with me." Fletcher didn't intend to delve into what had happened.

   After Verac washed and dressed, Fletcher took him to the restaurant on the right side of the first floor. Mr. Carmine and others hadn't come yet, Fletcher explained: "It's ten minutes before the meal time, but because it's your first time, you should come here early and get ready."

"clear."

   "Please take a seat, Mr. Chris." Fletcher took Veraker to the side seat and sat down.

   As soon as the voice fell, two servants came in behind them. After greeting Verac and Fletcher respectively, they set the tableware.

  After the servants left, Fletcher said: "After Mr. Carmine's family comes, you have to greet them one by one, and if you don't ask you a question after that, don't say anything."

   "Understood." Verak who sat down pretended to be nervous.

  Fletcher patted Verac on the shoulder: "Relax, Master Chris."
