Chapter 92 The truth

It's over, everything is over!

Shirley sat in her office. In the past, in order to carry out actions, she gathered a lot of people here, making this office building full of the unique hustle and bustle of the office building. But now, the office building has once again returned to its previous silence, and now she may be the only one here.

She struggled for the last time and asked for help from the blood-related father. She had an uncontrollable instinct for this matter, so she did not do so until the end of the failure of all her efforts. Her premonition was correct, and her blood-related father did not give her any reply, and instead, the people he sent to serve her (and of course also monitor her) disappeared without realizing it.

She has no value anymore. To the person who controls everything in the royal city, she is an abandoned piece on the chessboard, and once it has no value, it will be abandoned - just as if the painter abandoned him with an old pen.

As for the others, they left more quickly. Originally, they were temporarily hired by Shirley to carry out this operation. Legend has it that a ship destined to sink in the water will slip away in advance. The same is true for these people. When everyone understands the changes in the situation (this cannot be concealed at all), they have no reason to stay.

Now she is the only one left here. In fact, the lease period of the office building has expired - but according to a common principle in the human world, when the landlord wants to take back his house, he always has to leave a short gap for the tenant so that he can have time to move out. So the landlord has not yet come to the door for trouble.

What happened? Why, in a blink of an eye, all the beautiful dreams turned into clouds in the sky, and I don’t know where they went. What went wrong? That Ash Rufate was just an ordinary mercenary who lost his memory (this point is doubtful). Where did he get so much money? Even if all the gentry and nobles in the entire city of Brassian donated generously, he would not be able to give out so much money!

Someone knocked on the office door outside.

"Come in!" Shirley shouted subconsciously. Then she became nervous. Who would come now? Of course, someone would definitely come. The investigators of the Chamber of Commerce would come to her - it was just a matter of time. The only question was whether the investigator who came to the door would be followed by a sergeant, and there were five soldiers accompanying them. Shirley no longer wanted to escape. It was not so much that this was the result of rational thinking - because she had neither money nor strength to escape the control of the law now - it was better to say that it had defeated her because the frustration had defeated her, which completely lost the courage to resist fate.

But this time, it was not a malicious person who came in. It was her sister. Just like the last time, Fana held a tray in her hand, with snacks and tea on it.

"It's strange, why are everyone here leaving?" Fana asked. "I almost thought I've gone to the wrong place!"

Shirley smiled reluctantly. By the way, my sister didn't know anything. No wonder she probably stayed in the rented house these days and didn't go out, so she didn't understand what was going on. However, Shirley now has no idea how to explain this to her sister.

"Why haven't come back these two days? I'm worried." Fana came to the desk and placed the snacks on the table. "It's also getting dirty. Not only are people leaving, but there are also garbage everywhere in the room. It will take a lot of time to clean it. Fortunately, the things in the kitchen downstairs are still there."

"Let them go." Although the snacks were still very fragrant, she could no longer smell anything. She turned to look out the window, and suddenly an idea jumped into her mind.

If she died here like this... would it be a better ending?

No! Even if you die, you can't die alone! After this thought, another stronger and more persistent thought appeared in her mind. The culprit of all this is still there to be free and proud!

Her hand reached into the drawer beside the desk and opened it. The pistol was still lying calmly inside. It was an extremely exquisite weapon with considerable accuracy and power, but very little recoil, which was very suitable for women or children with insufficient arm strength. The musket was a very easy weapon. Although Shirley had never used it, she knew that just need to point the muzzle at the target and gently pull the trigger, and a life would disappear directly.

She took out the gun, played with it in her hand, and then raised her head. Fana had stopped the movements in her hand and looked at her sister with a puzzled look.

"Sister... I have something to do, can I help me?" she said.

...

Today is another good day, with clear weather and pleasant temperatures. In fact, this period is the most golden time of the year. The annual autumn hunting in Brassian City is approaching. The drought that occurred in the next province has not had any impact on Brassian City. The harvest this year is very good. Whether it is civilians or gentry and nobles, they are all preparing to face this year's hunting with a smile and cheerful mood.

The gate of the castle opened, and Ashurufat rode his horse out of the door. Because there was no urgent matter and the road was not far away, he did not control the horse, but let the horse move forward slowly on his own. He spent this time enjoying the quiet little lake beside the castle. The autumn was clear and the lake surface was as calm as a crystal gem, which was particularly beautiful.

"Mr. Ashu Rufate!" A voice suddenly came to his mind. Ashu Rufate saw a figure appearing in front of him.

"Fana?" Ashu Rufate recognized the other party.

"Why are you here?" Ashu Rufate jumped off the horse. Fana came to him. He noticed that there were a lot of stains on her shoes. It must have been a lot of roads before coming here.

"I'm waiting for you here," said Fana. "Because your castle is closed, I'm waiting here for a while."

That's it, but Ashu Rufat could see that she should have waited for more than a while.

"By the way, you..." He suddenly realized something was wrong. Wait, speak? But her mouth...

Although they were talking to each other, the girl named Fana never opened her mouth. She kept smiling and her lips never moved at all, but Ash Rufate could clearly hear her words.

"You..." Even he was a little surprised. "What's going on?"

"Mr. Ashu Rufat, I lost this time." Shirley changed her tone, "Today is already the day for futures delivery, how much have you won?"

"Not a lot, maybe... about 300,000 to 350,000 Jin Oli." Ashu Rufate replied. "Actually, I just came to sign a word today, and the rest of the matter was done by Grey for me."

Three hundred thousand! Shirley clenched her fist. If the 300 thousand were in her hands, how much could she do? It was enough for her to form the prototype of a regional chamber of commerce... It was like laying out a huge canvas in front of the painter, and how many wonderful works could be drawn on it.

"Although it's very rude, I still want to know why I lost?" Shirley asked. "Ah, don't misunderstand, sir. Everything is over... no one else will cause trouble for you." She smiled desolately.

"I think so, my aunt is coming back soon," said Ashu Rufate. "With her here, your plan to cut off the road for tax collection is actually impossible."

Shirley blinked her eyes, then lowered her head and sighed in frustration. "It's true, there's no time." She didn't sit up right away. "It's better, at least you should be able to tell me openly what I was wrong."

"I knew you would ask me this question," Ash Rufate replied. "Actually, you did a good job. I am not proficient in business and other things. At most, I can only be a novice, but I can still see that this thing is done very cleverly. From the early layout to the later futures operations - to be honest, I don't understand it very well, but I still think it's quite powerful."

"Then why did I lose?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I have a lot of money. If I compare the shopping mall to a battlefield, then I actually have overwhelming troops. No matter what kind of trap you set up, no matter how clever your formation is, it's useless. I don't need any skills. I just need to send soldiers up one by one, and I can rely on the advantage of numbers to pile you up to death."

"Then before, you changed the way of buying every day... For example, one day, you placed orders with small amounts of small amounts, and the other day you placed orders with large amounts of large amounts... and the Griffin family... your fiancée, you set out to Wallonia overnight..."

"Oh, I did that all because I was bored. To kill time, I had to find something for myself. As for the two of them," said Ashu Rufate. "They didn't know about it at all - they were busy renovating their new homes and knew nothing about it. They left because my aunt Mary wrote to them to go there."

"What! So... where did you get so much money?!" Shirley's eyes almost spit out, but the next moment she controlled herself again. "Sorry, Jazz. I'm just a little curious about it. Since I lost, at least let me know the reason for the loss...how much money do you have?"

Ashu Rufate took out a piece of stuff from his waist bag and placed it on the table. Shirley recognized at a glance that it was a high-end vellum paper—a very high-end and expensive paper that was processed in sophisticated craftsmanship, very strong and inviolable—only the most important documents would use this paper. She took the vellum paper and immediately understood what it was. This was a Pierce Chamber of Commerce’s certificate of deposit, and the number of this certificate of deposit was...

"More than one million Jin Oli!" Shirley quickly converted the number on the certificate of deposit into Jin Oli to calculate. "No, maybe one million and a half million!" She took a breath of air conditioning.

She read the document carefully again. "Impossible!" She whispered to herself. "How could there be such a ridiculous certificate of deposit? So much money is present in the chamber of commerce, but there is no other income? No guarantees except principal? A certificate of deposit with no interest at all? Is this a forgery?!"

"No, it's true," said Asu Ruffat. "I went to Wallonia before, where there was a branch of the Pierce Chamber of Commerce. The people there confirmed it for me... To be honest, I don't really believe that there is such a thing. This is a real certificate of deposit, deposited by a special client into the chamber of commerce, and agreed to withdraw money from the voucher without any other conditions."

"Oh my God..." Shirley murmured in a low voice. She knew how stupid she was. She thought that the most she fell into the net was a shark, but she didn't expect that it was a giant whale! It was simply a delusion to catch it with such a pitiful trap!

"I have four such documents, and the data is the same." Ashrufate said. "The four documents belong to four chambers of commerce. However, I have not confirmed the other three, but since this one is true, the other three should be true."

"You!" Shirley suddenly glared at the other party. "Who is it?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know either." Ashu Rufate replied. "You should have heard of it. I'm amnesia."

"How could such a ridiculous thing be in this world? Our country's fiscal revenue per year is only five to six million Jin Oli!"

"I think it's incredible, too. But since the people from the Pierce Chamber of Commerce are willing to issue a chamber of commerce guarantee bill for me, I think this is right." Ashu Rufate shrugged. "It's always a good thing to have money, isn't it? Look, I've said everything," Ashu Rufate continued, "so you'd better not touch your pistol."

"you……"

"Actually, I saw your pistol as soon as I came in." Ash Rufate said. "I can see that you are not good at this, so when I entered the door, you couldn't help but move the holster behind you. I happened to see the handle of the pistol. You thought your movements were secret, but I had good eyesight."

When he said this, he noticed that Shirley once again reached behind her.

"If you want to kill me, I suggest you give up. You can't kill me. I may be a little amateur in business transactions, but I am professional in this regard."

The two looked at each other for a long time, but Shirley finally lost. She sighed and her whole body bent down as if she had lost her strength. She took out a pistol from behind and placed it on the table in frustration.

"Is there anything else to say?" said Ashu Rufate. The words were finished, and it was time to end.

"Can you... buy us sisters?" After a long time, Shirley said quietly.
