Chapter 6, Lizeyin (Part 2)

Villac looked out of the car window and saw a vast area not far from the train's path where a large, artistically distinctive building was under construction.

Then let's leave it at that. Velak stood up, "I will continue to gather information. It is still uncertain how Fletcher will arrange for you, but I will do my utmost to keep you by my side. You cannot remain complacent; you must strive to acquire more knowledge. That city is full of opportunities, and we cannot afford to miss them"

Fletcher and the impeccably dressed Velak stepped out of the car looking radiant

July 16, Sunday, 7:00 PM

"From your accent, one cannot tell at all that you are from the Bash Empire," Velak said

Deng Pusi's gaze flickered, and he finally lowered his head slightly: "If the decision is made, then let us proceed accordingly"

Once his feet stood on the ground of Lezein, Velak took a deep breath and raised his head to gaze at everything within his sight

Indeed, it is not something that can be accomplished in just a day or two to change one's accent, Velak concurred

Is the name the same as the Mekong River?

Nord, Dempsey, and Velak have known each other for many years, and they understand him. Velak is not one to boast; he has always been steady in his actions. Since he has decided to undertake this task and has made a commitment, all they can do is trust him and walk alongside him.

Look," Fletcher said, slightly raising his chin

Fletcher let out a sigh: "I have lived in Lazerin for over thirty years, yet I still cannot understand the speech of the people from the southwest of Bressi, haha. Fortunately, you are also from the north. The accent from the northwest of Bressi is quite similar, which spares us a rather tricky problem"

Nord's eyes widened, and although he appeared to be making a fuss, his voice was as soft as a whisper: "It's not that simple! They want you to impersonate that Chris character, and if you get recognized, we will be thrown into the sewers to feed the rats!"

Villac smiled faintly, looking at Dempsey. The two exchanged a glance, remaining silent.

"Take us to see the big city." Dempsey said with an easy smile

During lunch, Fletcher meticulously taught more dining etiquette and, after the meal, assessed Velak again. Once he ensured that Velak's learning progress was within his grasp, he returned to his private booth

"I will. " Velak interrupted Nord, looking at him with exceptional determination, "Trust me. "

"Running is no longer an option, and this may not necessarily be a bad thing." Velak intended to first help his two friends accept this reality, and then gradually find a way to reveal his situation, collaboratively planning for the future. "The Thomas family is very wealthy; they need me now. I just need to assist them in getting through this period as they have instructed, and I will receive a substantial reward. By then, we can firmly establish ourselves in Lezein with this large sum of money, and we will no longer have to return to the impoverished and remote village of Zivord."

They are the most overlooked group of people in this world, ordinary individuals whose lives can be summed up in just a few words. At this moment, in their twenties and thirties, they are engaged in jobs such as waiters and steelworkers, positions that offer no glimpse of a future. In fact, regardless of the difficulties and challenges they may face ahead, their circumstances cannot possibly be worse than they have been before

But we have no way back now. Velak patted Nord's shoulder and said calmly and composedly, "Now, resistance is undoubtedly fatal. If we do as they say, perhaps we can truly change our unchanging lives."

The Mena Pavilion was constructed based on the most important landmark buildings of Laizain. Fletcher explained, "In two months, the World Expo will be held here to showcase national strength and celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the victory of the Brecy Revolution"

During a break, Velak went to the private room to reassure his friend once again, and under the pretext of deepening their impression, took Nord and Dempsey outside to teach them dining etiquette

Nord works as a waiter in a high-end restaurant in Zward City, and through observation and experience, he has learned quite a bit, allowing him to progress rapidly. Dempsey, on the other hand, is completely unrefined, and some of his bad habits are difficult to correct in a short period. Velak patiently explains the functions of various utensils and the things to pay attention to during meals, repeating himself time and again. Dempsey listens attentively, beads of sweat forming on his forehead

Others think this way, and they themselves also believe so

Although Fletcher maintained a polite demeanor on the surface, Velak was well aware that this person held a deep-seated contempt for the few of them. Because he found value in Thomas's family, Fletcher would have lunch with him to provide training. As for Nord and Dempsey, it was a stroke of luck that they were still alive; the idea of dining together was something Fletcher could never accept.

All teaching has temporarily ceased, and neither Nord nor Dempsey remained in the box, but instead came out to be with Fletcher and Velak. They stood together by the car window, gazing at the towering buildings that stretched to the horizon, which was the brilliantly lit Lazein

They are three worthless lives

"What do you think?" asked Dempsey

In Raizain, there is a saying: "Whoever controls Raizain controls the entire Bressi." Fletcher made a trip to Zward and upon returning, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Although I am a Bash person, I must say that Raizain is undoubtedly the greatest city in the world"

The train swiftly passed by the nascent Mena Museum, and Velak returned to his seat. Nord was still excitedly discussing those stylish buildings and the fashionably dressed pedestrians with Dempsey

Therefore, Nord and Dempsey are both dining in the box.

Have you already made your decision? asked Dempsey

Yes

"Please tidy up your attire, we will be arriving shortly." Fletcher arranged for someone to give Velak a final touch-up before their arrival at the station

You must remember those things well, and if there is anything you do not understand, go ask that Fletcher. Under no circumstances should you let anything slip, otherwise we will all be thrown into...

Although Velak had long experienced the splendor and grandeur of this city, he could not help but be immersed in it at this moment. No one would refuse to live in paradise, and in their eyes, Lezein was indeed paradise

After leaving the private room, Velak once again opened the booklet that had been specially prepared for him, reading its contents word for word while recalling the details of his interactions with these individuals. Among these relationships, whether close or distant, there must be a nexus connecting the rebel organization with Chris. Additionally, there are others who can be fully utilized by Velak for strategic arrangements

Hmm. Velak nodded

Good! Nord, who quickly passed through the period of anxiety, gradually became filled with excitement

Time passed unknowingly, and it was noon, the time for lunch. Fletcher came out of the private room to have lunch with Velak.

After more than ten minutes, the train arrived at the train station

Fletcher knew that Velak had never been to Lezain, so he began to explain: "Lezain is known as the capital of art and culture, and it is one of the most prosperous cities in the world. It is traversed by the second largest river in Bressi, the Mena River, and has a flat terrain, with summers that are not excessively hot and winters that are not harsh. The urban population reaches as high as 1,500,000. We are now about to pass through the manufacturing district in the northern suburbs of Lezain."

With this smile, Nord felt somewhat better and came to understand some things

Nord, momentarily at a loss for words after being interrupted by Velak, slightly parted his lips and, after a brief silence, said: "I believe you"
