MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 69 lion wide mouth
Chapter 69 The Lion's Big Opening
Half an hour later, the convoy returned to the Thomas family mansion.
Thanks to the heavy rain today, otherwise the large-scale dispatch of the Thomas family will definitely attract attention, and it will be quite difficult to explain to the outside world at that time. This also means that the opportunity will not come again, and it will be even more difficult to eradicate Verak today.
Arriving in front of the mansion, Verac waited for Fletcher to open the door and hold an umbrella for him before getting out of the car.
Carmine is sure to win today's plan, so he sat comfortably on the sofa in the living room, listened to the sound of the rain with his eyes closed, and waited for Fletcher to report the situation.
The rain was loud, but Carmine still heard the sound of footsteps entering the hall that could not be made by one person.
That is to say, it wasn't just Fletcher who came to the lobby.
He frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and saw Verac, who was completely unscathed except for being drenched in the rain, and Fletcher, who exuded impotent and furious aura: "Tell me, what happened."
"You are calmer than I imagined." Verac bowed and saluted as usual, admiring and teasing himself to meet Carmine again, "I think we need to have a good talk."
Carmine didn't 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. After learning about the situation outside this afternoon, Carmine showed a trace of seriousness on his face.
"Come to my study." Carmine got up and went upstairs on his own.
Verak followed.
"When did you get in touch with those people? Or... You were originally from them, and we found you from Tsward. It was just part of your plan to break into the Thomas family and cannibalize the Thomas family." Carmine didn't know. Xu Buji sat down at the desk and asked in a calm tone.
Verak didn't care whether Carmine invited him to a seat or not, and sat directly opposite Carmine, crossing his legs, acting more calmly than Carmine: "No comment."
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Carmine kept staring into Verak's eyes, trying to see something from them.
"Peace and deal." Five words popped out of Veraker's mouth, and he also stared at Carmine without fear.
"Peace?" Carmine snorted coldly, picked up a cigar and lit it, took a deep breath and then exhaled the smoke towards the window, "Do you think there is still peace to speak of?"
Verak said: "If it's a long-term peace, then of course it doesn't exist. What I want is a short peace period that is enough for the transaction to be completed smoothly."
"So... what deal do you want to make?" Carmine's eagle-like eyes pierced through the smog.
"Remember that stolen secret bill?" Verak asked.
Carmine's pupils shrank slightly, and a few seconds later, he took another puff of his cigar: "You stole it? That Dempsey, the so-called companion of yours, was also you who got rid of it?"
"It doesn't matter who the murderer is." Verak never answered this kind of question directly, and left it to the other party to think about it and make it more complicated. "The important thing is whether you want to pay back this bill."
Things have developed to this point, and there is nothing to hide. Verac plans to make a deal with Carmine directly, asking him to spend a huge sum of money to redeem the bill, and then sell a copy to Paramount, Even sold to more forces.
Earn an extra share of the Thomas family's money, and at the same time further put them to death.
"Let's 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... gram..."
Carmine chuckled and shook his head slightly: "You look so difficult, you should know what 10 million gold grams represent? Even if I can take it out, can you take it?"
"Since you think I'm not simple, why do you still think that the price I quoted is baseless?" Verak didn't make any concessions. Although 10 million gold grams seemed to him to be very high, he also agreed. Try to touch Carmine's bottom.
"You haven't read the bill, have you? If you had, you wouldn't have quoted such an unrealistic price." Carmine joked.
The total remittances recorded by Carmine to the dignitaries recorded in those bills is only about 10 million. It is indeed a fantasy for Verak to ask for an equivalent redemption. According to Carmine's character, he would rather spend the money to clear the relationship than let Veraker be at his mercy.
"Pierre Trichet, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Brecy. Louville Rhodes, President of the High Court of Laizein..." Verac casually listed a few people who were recorded in the bill, and Carmine Senior officials with close ties proved that they had read the bills, "I know that this amount of money is even higher than your total bribes over the years. But business is not like this, and you don't have to play around with me."
Carmine narrowed his eyes.
"The 10 million is the security of a top consortium with an annual profit of more than 50 million. Compared with the incalculable wealth in the long-term development, 10 million gold grams is really not enough?" Verac asked.
"Heh..." Carmine looked at Verak with a cigar in his mouth in surprise. This kid who has been timid and timid asked himself some stupid questions on the court some time ago, but today he can talk about business with him without changing his face, "I also have times when I am wrong..."
"Anyone has it." Verac felt the same way on this point.
Carmine snuffed out the cigar: "One million gold grams, divided into three installments, I will give you one after another within half a year."
"Are you joking, Carmine?" Veraker didn't even bother to use his honorific title, and laughed at Carmine mercilessly. "It doesn't seem like you can come up with such a stupid plan."
Verak saw that Carmine was testing himself.
From money, from time.
No matter whether I compromise on any of these two points, it will allow Carmine to obtain information.
"Well, I'll give you a more suitable plan." Verak responded after thinking for a while, not forgetting to test Carmine, "Half a year, 15 million, divided into six installments Pay off one after another, and we will return that bill to you while paying off."
In Verak's proposal, the time has not changed, and the transaction funds are half higher than the initial price. This shows that the Equality Association does not urgently need money, but also has the strength and confidence to ask for a higher price.
As for the six phases, it can be considered that Veraker has added some feasibility to this proposal.
It was undoubtedly easier to pay Equality in six installments than to pay it off in one lump sum. Verac will never stay in Laizein for another half a year, so if possible, he will run away after getting the first installment of money. It is also a good choice to use the subsequent money to develop the Equality Association, and it is not in vain. Equality will.
And the final test is that the bill will not be returned to Carmine until the money is paid off half a year later.
If Carmine agrees, or if he doesn't delve into this point, it means that he has enough ways to solve the Equality Society within half a year, or resolve the crisis. If he disagrees and tries to prolong the time, it means that he will have nothing to do with equality within half a year.
