Chapter 40: Thomas the Abandoned
Thomas was in a bad mood.
Because my father sent that gentleman to inform me to see him.
He always knew that there was a mysterious person like a shadow around his father. No one knew his identity or gender, but Thomas believed that this person was the one his father trusted the most.
Generally speaking, when this person comes forward, it means that something important is about to happen.
Not a good thing.
Thomas's eyelids twitched wildly, he sorted out everything he had done in the last few days, and then thought of the letter from Yvonne.
"What happened." This was the most direct idea in Thomas's heart, and when he walked into the door and heard the question raised by the man with a majestic face behind the desk, his heart fell into the bottom.
"Steve Rogers, who is he?" Scalid asked expressionlessly.
"Steve?" Thomas's face was as usual, "He is an extraordinary person secretly trained by Uncle Garcia. A few days ago, Uncle Garcia sent him to secretly join the Akkad team to go to sea. It is said that they went to the southern waters together."
"Is something happened? Father." Thomas looked puzzled.
"He is dead." The Finance Minister replied expressionlessly.
"Dead?!" Thomas' eyes widened suddenly. At this moment, his hands and feet were numb and his mind was blank.
"Do you care about him very much? You are surprised by his death." The Finance Minister saw something abnormal about his youngest son.
"I...I just felt a little incredible. Uncle Garcia told me that it was a powerful extraordinary person." Thomas explained dryly.
He tried hard to keep his face calm, but his heart was already in chaos.
"Mr. Henrik is dead!" Thomas's brain turned wildly, "How could he die? Everyone will die... but damn it, what should I do if he dies?"
"A few days ago, Bishop Yvonne sent you a secret letter through a special channel, which mentioned Steve Rogers. She came to determine the identity of this person. Uncle Garcia had specifically told me about this man, so I replied to Bishop Yvonne." After calming down, Thomas took the initiative to say everything.
He pretended to be unintentionally raised his head and looked at his father, "This person should be trained by the family secretly?" Thomas showed just the right curiosity.
"What, don't you know if you sent him to sea?"
The Finance Minister did not speak and looked at his youngest son seriously.
"Your brother is coming back soon. Hand over the work at hand and continue to be responsible for business matters."
Thomas opened his mouth and finally could only lower his head helplessly, "I understand, father."
He was out.
After a few more greetings, he left the room with a little frustration.
It was not until he left the manor and returned to his carriage that Thomas held his leaping chest and let out a long breath.
Fortunately, he was prepared for it. After replying to Yvonne's secret letter, he told Garcia about it as soon as possible. The two discussed it. Garcia decided to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the responsibility, so that the pressure on Thomas could be relieved to the maximum extent.
But just now, Thomas still felt a little anger from his father. All his efforts in recent times have been wasted and were beaten back to their original form again.
No, even worse than before, he lost his father's trust.
But for Thomas, the CEO's death had a greater impact on him.
At this time, the car door was knocked, and soon Rafik got on the carriage with a pleasing look on his face.
"Sir, what you mentioned last time, the gift you gave to Rebeta is ready. When will someone be sent to you?"
"Rebecca?" Thomas was stunned. Henrik was dead. What's the use of continuing to please that woman? Thinking of this, he waved his hand irritatedly.
"Whatever you want, you can take care of it."
At this time, he was in a state of confusion and did not have any thoughts of revenge on Rebecca.
"Okay." Rafik nodded tactfully. When he was about to get off the carriage, he suddenly heard Thomas's tired voice, "Your sister Mariana, her leg injury has been cured, right?"
"Yes, sir." Rafik turned his head and looked alert.
"In a few days, the finance department will have an internal dance party. If you want to attend, I can give you an invitation."
"Great, Mr. Thomas!" Rafik felt sincerely happy, because it meant that Thomas let his sister go.
After Rafik left, Thomas sat in a daze for a while before knocking on the carriage.
"Where are we going, sir?" asked the coachman.
"Go to Moon Harbor, I want the best wine and the best girl!"
There is nowhere to vent the depression in my heart, and Thomas just wants to indulge it completely once.
At the same time, Admiral Garcia closed the communication with his brother expressionlessly at the headquarters of the western Egyptian Navy.
His reasons are not that sufficient, there are too many lies and loopholes, but at this time he no longer cared about many things, combining the conversation just now and the information he obtained.
He was sure that the Akkad Navy and the Oracle Church had a big fall in the southern waters this time, which was much more tragic than the last battle in the western waters.
Four of them died in level 6!
In all the news, Garcia was not so surprised to see the news that Steve, who was disguised as a CEO, also died.
"It's good to die." Garcia breathed a sigh of relief. At least for a short period of time, the Bureau of Investigation will not send people here again. His previous collusion with the Akkad nobles and controlling the western route will also become history.
From beginning to end, he described Steve as his confidant. Even if he knew that lies could not stand the investigation, he did not want to be known at this time. Steve Rogers is the new CEO of the Bureau of Investigation.
The Oracle Church suffered a severe blow in the southern waters. Once Steve's identity is leaked, it will be a big and small trouble for him.
But just as Garcia was thinking seriously, the door was knocked, but he heard a message that shocked him.
"General, the CEO of the Bureau of Investigation, he is here again."
"Editor? Who?" Garcia couldn't react for a moment.
"That Henrik." The guard then added, "his hair seems to have grown."
"Henrik? Why..." Garcia suddenly stood up, "Take me to see him!"
Not long after, Garcia met the unscathed Sigmon in the living room.
"You look surprised." Sigmon saw the abnormality on Garcia's face, and after thinking for a moment, he seemed to understand something.
"I'm dead, or Steve Rogers is dead, right?"
Garcia didn't speak.
"Let me guess it's Bishop Yvonne? No... it's not her. She should have rushed back to Abetus immediately. Who should it be?" Sigmon glanced at Garcia.
"It's some big shot who can meet her immediately... it's your brother, right? Our Finance Minister." Sigmun said with a smile.
"What are you doing here?" Garcia's face darkened.
