Chapter 4, Laizein (Part 1)

Can I keep them by my side? Velak inquired tentatively

A drop of sweat fell onto the booklet, and it was only then that Velak, who was suppressing his excitement, realized that his forehead was already beaded with sweat mixed with both exhilaration and fear

In the absence of others questioning one's motives, any reaction one has will be interpreted in a myriad of friendly ways in the eyes of others—this was a lesson imparted to him by Fletcher in his previous life

I can't remember clearly on Tuesday morning, but I will attend a classical music concert in the evening

He is not particularly concerned that any shortcomings in his performance might lead to suspicion

What are you allergic to

An hour later, they arrived at the train station in Zward. The next train to Lezein was scheduled to depart at 12:30 AM. Fletcher directly booked an entire carriage, and the group entered the carriage to wait for departure

Seeing Velak in a neatly tailored suit, with his messy hair styled to look as polished as Chris, Fletcher revealed a satisfied smile: "If you were just standing here doing nothing and saying nothing, hardly anyone would suspect your identity"

Although Zhi Weila Ke impersonated Chris, he had already established numerous connections with the rebel organization. However, he believed that he currently lacked the ability to navigate among these various factions, and therefore was not in a hurry to engage with this hot potato

However, he is now seriously studying the brochure, not merely putting on a show in front of Fletcher, nor just reinforcing his memory once again, but rather seeking details in Chris's social circle that he had overlooked in his previous life

Basic information is the first thing to remember. Although Velak does not want to appear overly conspicuous by remembering everything, he should not pretend to be only half-aware of even the basic information: "Chris is twenty-four years old this year, two years younger than me. He is one hundred eighty-four centimeters tall, three centimeters taller than me. He has a well-proportioned figure, and his weight is about the same as mine. He does not smoke, is left-handed, has mild myopia but does not like to wear glasses, and has a keen interest in watches, with considerable knowledge about them... He is gentle and humble, rarely gets angry, and thus, in the eyes of some people, he can even seem a bit easy to bully..."

Although Velak pretended to have forgotten a few places, Fletcher was still quite satisfied with this progress: "Not bad. On the way ahead, you should try to remember as much information as possible. However, we will not put you in danger. When the time comes for the banquet, there will be people we have arranged to discuss the prepared content with you. You just need to repeat what you have memorized without any changes."

Fletcher followed his gaze and said: "I will take good care of the two of them, you need not worry."

On the way to Czwórde Train Station, Velak was flipping through the contents of the brochure while planning the developments after arriving in Lezein

It is precisely because of this consideration that Velak gained a certain level of assurance and confidence to choose a path that was both the same as and entirely different from his previous life, and he chose to bring along his two friends, Nord and Dempsey, to help him establish a firm foothold as early as possible in the turbulent waters of Lezein with the assistance of these two trusted allies

Understood. Velak nodded, turning to glance at Nord and Dempsey, who were sitting at the adjacent table, already dazed from fatigue and intoxication.

Villac felt Fletcher's gaze, raised his head to meet it for a moment, and then immediately lowered his head to look at the booklet again

Each page of the booklet is filled with dense information, with some individuals who are less related occupying only half a page, while those with significant connections may have as much as three to four pages of information

What else needs to be done next?" Velak asked

"That would be even better," Fletcher said with an even broader smile. "Additionally, you appear to have a reserved and composed personality, somewhat similar to Chris. It would be good to maintain that quality."

The wheel of history is turning once again, and this time he is determined to change his life, transcend social classes, and become a wealthy person

Although you and Chris look almost identical, you still need to dress up. Fletcher waved his hand, and several personnel who had been waiting in the carriage came over. The stylist began to select fitting clothes for Velak, while the barber prepared to give Velak a hairstyle identical to Chris's.

Allergic to lemons

The mysterious person whom I have attempted to contact multiple times in my past life is very likely a member of the rebel organization, and if this is true, it leads to an even more astonishing piece of information: the rebel organization is unaware that Velak is an imposter of Chris

Villac did not overly control his performance and focused intently on flipping through the booklet

What is usually done on Tuesdays

Therefore, he must protect himself during these two months and leverage the Thomas family to seize substantial benefits, thereby transforming his life

Nord and Dempsey, who were sitting nearby and stubbornly refusing to sleep, looked at Velak, who seemed to have transformed into a different person, and were left speechless in astonishment

If Laizen fails again, his situation will be a thousand times worse than living in the slums

Julai wine

Does he like horseback riding

Villac and Fletcher gazed out of the train window together, as the Zward train station was soon left behind, with the train heading towards Lezein in the vastness of the deep night

Villac remembered that in his previous life, he had participated in numerous events where individuals had deliberately approached him, attempting to convey information. At that time, he only felt anxious, fearing that they were acquaintances of Chris, so his responses were either to hurriedly leave before being exposed or to have Fletcher step in to block them.

From Chris's most basic family background, personality, hobbies, and social circle, to his experience studying economics at the Business School of the University of Leyzen Empire, the content of his recent work summary report, and some childhood embarrassing stories that are occasionally mentioned by friends and family, everything is meticulously annotated.

Well then, Velak found himself at a loss regarding this matter

Most of the people in this booklet he has interacted with in his previous life, and face-to-face communication is much more memorable than written words, so he still remembers it very clearly now

Fletcher was constantly observing Velak, noting the expressions on his face that were stirred by a multitude of thoughts.

He regarded this clue as a lifeline at a critical moment; if he were to fail in the game against the Thomas family, the existence of the rebel organization would ensure that he would not be left with no way out.

The train let out a sharp whistle, then slowly began to move forward, gradually increasing its speed

Fletcher was not satisfied with this answer. He leaned slightly forward, took the booklet from in front of Velak, casually flipped to a page, and asked, "First, tell me about Chris's basic information"

Certainly, the most important information, which occupies a full third of the booklet, is the information about Chris that Velak intends to impersonate

Fletcher looked at Velak, his gaze meaningful. After a few seconds of silence, he replied: "Of course, but not now. We need to first resolve the enormous scandal crisis of the Thomas family, and then we can discuss this."

Chris is left-handed, and you will need to get used to using your left hand as well

"Not bad," Velak replied ambiguously

Hoo ... ...

It was only after learning the true cause of Chris's death before being designed to die tragically that he connected the two and derived important information

Half an hour later, the refreshed Velak put on his polished leather shoes with three-centimeter height-increasing insoles and stood before Fletcher to undergo inspection

As a core member of the rebellious organization that is particularly active in Lezein, and as an indispensable significant support providing substantial financial assistance to the organization. In Chris's social circle, there must be individuals who appear unremarkable on the surface, yet secretly serve as the 'hub' connecting Chris with the rebellious organization.

He was injured by a horse when he was young, so he does not like riding horses. His sister, on the other hand, is skilled in equestrianism and often goes to the horse ranch

"I am also left-handed," Velak said

"How do you remember it?" Fletcher asked as he removed his large top hat, took off his thick black coat, and sat opposite Velak.

"Good." Fletcher reached out to stop Velak, "What is Chris's favorite wine"

The new government of the Republic of Brelisi has just been established for a short time, and it is currently a period of extreme sensitivity, during which it will spare no effort to suppress any forces that may threaten its rule
