Chapter 331 Chapter 331 – Exchange
?"I fucking told you!" Nick shouted as he stood up from the table. "I told you that you had a fake contract!"
"You faked your version of the contract, you fucking scummy scam artist!"
Nick shouted all of this while he pointed to Vernon's face.
Vernon became increasingly agitated, barely containing his rage.
However, he was too shocked about the revelation to shout at Nick.
He was 100% certain that he had the real contract!
He had taught Wyntor to never include a death clause in a contract!
He had given Wyntor the contract!
He had received the contract from Wyntor!
Wyntor would never write such a clause!
It was idiotic!
"You faked it!" Vernon shouted as he glared at Nick with unending anger and hatred.
"Fuck off!" Nick shouted back. "You were the one that wanted to ask the city! I'm just a 'common upstart' that doesn't even know that the city has copies of the contract!"
Vernon's clenched fists had turned pure white.
Then, he glared at the two guards from Anatomy.
The two guards had neutral expressions on their faces...
Except for a couple of tiny smirks.
Naturally, they were happy to see one of Kugelblitz's owners losing to some random Veteran in a legal issue.
When Vernon saw their tiny smirks, his rage increased even more.
"You!" he shouted at them.
Then, he pointed at Nick. "This is all a scheme to give Dark Dream to Anatomy!"
"You betrayed Wyntor! You betrayed my son! You're one of Anatomy's agents!" Vernon shouted. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
"Now, now, Mr. Melfion," one of the two guards from Anatomy said as he slowly walked forward with a polite smile. "Let's not throw accusations around. Let's all calm down and-"
"No, this is a conspiracy!" Vernon shouted. "I am absolutely certain that my son would never create or sign such a contract! This has to be a fake! You must have exchanged it somehow!"
"How?" Nick asked with a snort. "I'm a common upstart, and I'm just an Initial Veteran. I don't even know where these contracts are located, and even if I knew, how could I even manage to exchange them?"
Vernon narrowed his eyes even more before he glared at the two guards from Anatomy.
That would cause an uproar in the city.
Vernon was barely hearing Nick's words.
He was too busy trying to figure out how Nick could have exchanged the contract stored by the city.
However, no matter how much he thought about this, he simply couldn't find a way.
Not even Kugelblitz could exchange these kinds of contracts.
So, how could Nick?
The next moment, Vernon was looking at the guards from Anatomy.
Or, how could Anatomy?
Maybe a traitor?
No, that wouldn't be enough.
There were also neutral people keeping watch over these things.
To exchange such a contract would require having control over five powerful people from separate places.
While it was theoretically possible, no one would even attempt to do that unless there were billions upon billions of credits on the table.
Dark Dream was not worth enough for something like that.
"Accept the truth," Nick said from beside one of Anatomy's guards. "This is the real contract, and you faked yours!"
"I DID NOT FAKE THE CONTRACT!" Vernon shouted in absolute rage, his voice thundering throughout the room.
The guards became increasingly apprehensive.
The situation became tenser and tenser.
Nick just looked at Vernon from beside the guards from Anatomy.
He believed Vernon.
After all, Vernon's contract was real.
All the other contracts were fake.
Even the one from the city.
The contract in the city's safe had been exchanged a couple of days earlier.
Sadly, nobody knew that there were actually two people who could exchange the contract without getting noticed.
One was the governor.
The other was Julian.
And who would suspect everyone's best friend, Julian?
