Chapter 403 Abandoned Thomas
Thomas was in a bad mood.
Because my father sent that gentleman to inform me to see him.
He has always known that there is a shadow-like mysterious person beside his father. No one knows the identity and gender of this person, but Thomas believes that this person is the one his father trusts the most.
Usually, when this person shows up, it means something big is about to happen.
Not a good thing.
Searching his stomach, Thomas' eyelids twitched wildly. He sorted out all the things he had done in the past few days, and then thought of the letter from Yvonne.
"Something went wrong." This was the most direct thought in Thomas' mind, and when he walked into the door and heard the question from the majestic man behind the desk, his heart sank to the bottom.
"Steve Rogers, who is he?" Skalid asked expressionlessly.
"Steve?" Thomas' face remained normal, "He is a superhuman secretly cultivated by Uncle Garcia, a few days ago, Uncle Garcia sent him to secretly join Akkad's sea team, and it is said that they went to the southern sea together. "
"Did something happen? Father." Thomas looked puzzled.
"He's dead." The Minister of Finance replied blankly.
"Dead?!" Thomas' eyes widened suddenly. At this moment, he felt numb in his hands and feet, and his mind went blank.
"Do you care about him? You are surprised by his death." The Minister of Finance saw a little abnormality in his youngest son.
"I... I just find it a little unbelievable. Uncle Garcia told me that it is a powerful transcendent." Thomas explained dryly.
He tried hard to keep his face calm, but his heart was already in a mess.
"Mr. Henrik is dead!" Thomas's brain turned wildly, "How could he die? Everyone dies... But damn it, what should I do if he dies?"
"A few days ago, Bishop Yvonne sent you a confidential letter through a special channel, which mentioned this Steve Rogers. She came to confirm the identity of this man. Regarding this man, Uncle Garcia specially asked You told me, so I replied to Bishop Yvonne without any hassle." After gathering his composure, Thomas took the initiative to tell everything.
Pretending to be unintentional, he raised his head and looked at his father, "Should this person be cultivated in secret by the family?" Thomas showed just the right curiosity.
"Why, don't you know he was sent to sea?"
The Minister of Finance did not speak, but took a serious look at his youngest son.
"Your brother is coming back soon, hand over the work at hand and continue to be responsible for business matters."
Thomas opened his mouth, but finally he could only lower his head helplessly, "I see, father."
He's out.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he left the room a little frustrated.
It wasn't until he got away from the manor and returned to his carriage that Thomas held down his throbbing chest and let out a long breath.
Fortunately, he was well prepared. After replying to Yvonne's secret letter, he told Garcia about it immediately. The two discussed it. Minimize the pressure on Thomas.
But just now, Thomas still felt a trace of anger from his father. All his recent efforts were in vain, and he was beaten back to his original form again.
No, even worse than ever, he lost his father's trust.
But for Thomas, the chief executive's death hit him even harder.
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the carriage, and soon, Rafiq boarded the carriage with a flattering expression.
"Sir, as you mentioned last time, the gift for Liberta has been prepared. When will someone deliver it?"
"Rebecca?" Thomas was stunned. Henrik is dead, so what's the use of me continuing to curry favor with that woman? Thinking of this, he waved his hand irritably.
"Whatever, you can deal with it."
At this time, his mind was in a state of confusion, and no thought of revenge on Rebecca arose in him.
"Okay then." Rafiq nodded tactfully, and when he was about to get off the carriage, he suddenly heard Thomas's tired voice, "Your sister Mariana, has her leg injury healed?"
"Yes, sir." Rafiq turned his head, looking wary.
"In a few days, there will be an internal ball in the financial department. If you want to participate, I can give you an invitation letter."
"That's great, Mr. Thomas!" Rafiq felt genuinely happy, because it meant that Thomas had spared his sister's legs.
After Rafiq 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!"
The depression in his heart had nowhere to vent, Thomas just wanted to indulge once completely.
At the same time, at the Navy Headquarters in the west of Elam, Admiral Garcia shut down the communication with his brother expressionlessly.
His reasons are not so sufficient, there are too many lies and loopholes, but at this time he can't care about many, combining the conversation just now and the information he obtained.
He is sure that the Akkad Navy and the Oracle Church have stumbled in the southern waters this time, which is much more tragic than the last battle in the western waters.
4 of them died at level 6!
Among all the news, Garcia was not so surprised to see that Steve, who was pretending to be the CEO, was also dead.
"It's fine to die." Garcia breathed a sigh of relief. At least in a short period of time, the Investigation Bureau will not send people here again, and his previous collusion with the Akkadian nobles to control the western route will also become history. .
From the beginning to the end, he described Steve as a confidant he cultivated. Even if he knew that lies would not stand up to investigation, he didn't want to be known at this time. That Steve Rogers was the new executive of the Bureau of Investigation. long.
The Church of the Oracle suffered a serious setback in the southern waters. Once Steve's identity was leaked, it would be a big trouble for him.
But when Garcia was thinking seriously, there was a knock on the door, and he heard a message that shocked him.
"General, the executive director of the Bureau of Investigation, he is here again."
"CEO? Who?" Garcia couldn't react for a while.
"That Henrik," the guard added later, "his hair seems to be growing out."
"Henrik? Why is he..." Garcia stood up abruptly, "Take me to see him!"
Soon after, Garcia saw the unscathed Sigmund in the living room.
"You look surprised." Sigmund saw the abnormality on Garcia's face, and after a little thought, he seemed to understand something.
"Someone told you that I'm dead, or that Steve Rogers is dead, right?"
Garcia didn't speak.
"Let me guess, it's Bishop Yvonne? No...it can't be her, she should have rushed back to Abetus immediately, who should it be?" Sigmund glanced at Garcia.
"It's someone who can meet her right away...is your brother, right? Our Minister of Finance." Sigmund said with a smile.
"What are you doing here?" Garcia's face darkened.
