The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 597 Ch.596 A Parody

"Cavendish doesn't need your gratitude, Harold. I think as long as you do this well... you know what you can get, right?"

Harold swallowed and nodded slightly.

He didn't dare look directly at the woman opposite him. He just carefully stepped over the roast chicken and potatoes and followed the pattern on the edge of the porcelain plate to peek at her white fingers tapping on the table and her reflective oval nails.

then.

Back of hand, wrist bones.

"You brought me roses?"

"...Yes, yes! Miss! I have prepared flowers for you... and wine... Oh, right! Wine, why don't we drink some——"

The woman smiled and gently declined: "I think we should talk about business when we are sober, what do you think?"

"…Of course! Miss, I was just about to tell you!"

Harold Bekanov was just a poor man who had just arrived in Brighton and was looking for a job.

He never expected that one day he would be chosen by the Cavendish family as an 'agent' - he had already received a salary of 150 pounds this month.

Good luck has come.

"Recently, many people have asked to redeem themselves in advance..." He told Hayan everything in detail, from every private conversation to the trivialities of life - Harold was grateful to Cavendish for giving him the opportunity, and he also admired this girl who had special feelings for him but could not express them because of her family.

Harold knew it.

He was so far away from the Cavendish family. Even though it was a defeated and no longer glorious family, it was still as far away from him as mortals and gods.

Ambition is a plant that does not need rich soil.

Just a little bit of resentment or yearning, a pinch of growing jealousy, and it can spread faster than the most terrible plague.

Harold knew what he wanted.

He wanted to make 'Bekanov' louder than 'Cavendish'.

This is an excellent starting point, an extraordinary beginning: as long as he does it well, nothing big will go wrong.

"Redeeming in advance?" Hayan frowned. "What's the reason?"

"Most of them are worried about the principal, and some say they need it urgently and have better investments..." Harold did not notice the crisis behind this "little thing". However, Claudia Hayon Cavendish was not a mediocre person after all - since she was called the "best", she had a certain sense of danger.

She sensed something was wrong.

“Is it a high frequency?”

“…Normal.” Harold told the woman on the other side that this kind of ‘cash out’ maintained a relatively stable frequency and would not take away most of the funds at once. He tried to tell her that this was normal, that he had not made any mistakes, and that it would not cause any adverse effects on their ‘business’…

The woman's face darkened.

Normally and stably recovering the principal is already the most abnormal thing.

Just like a bank.

This is irregular and normal.

But if a large number of people come to withdraw money in a short period of time, accurately, on time, rain or shine - that means something is not normal.

Now, the same is true for their business.

The woman was dissatisfied with the man's stupidity, but then she thought, you can't expect a person who is easy to control to be smart enough.

"This is not normal, Harold." She tried to speak gently, putting on a mask of 'admiration', and asked softly: "You have to pay attention to those who collect the principal... Has anyone publicly accused you?"

Mention this business.

Hayan was very dissatisfied.

This was made by her father.

Due to some 'curse', the Cavendish family could not do any business - whatever they invested in, or got involved in some industry, would fail sooner or later and lose everything.

No matter how stable and long-term a large investment is, or how risky and short-term a small investment is... no investment that Cavendish has handled has been successful.

This is a 'curse', or...

The result of the ceremony.

Hayan blamed his aunt, but he couldn't blame a dead person.

And ever since she learned that her father had started this kind of "business", she began to resent him in her heart.

In her opinion, since Cavendish couldn't do anything, he should be thorough and wait until the ceremony was over.

Mortals should not attempt to demonstrate their foolish arrogance before more unpredictable forces.

That's exactly what her father did.

Like to be clever.

Some time ago, he heard about an ingenious scam from his friends:

A group of swindlers calling themselves "researchers" used the same rhetoric to siphon hundreds of thousands of pounds from the pockets of those gentry in the City of London - the details of this scam have disappeared from the newspapers.

As for why?
Like a whore's candle.

It just so happened that Jeff Cavendish had a friend who often went to London and brought back this not-so-secret secret.

Tell them as a joke.

This really surprised all the "smart brains".

Especially Jeff Cavendish.

He almost called the person who could come up with this scam a "genius that only appears once in a century", and began to wonder whether this thing could bring a ray of golden dawn to his "poor" dark life - if Cavendish couldn't do business...

So, what about changing someone else?
A packaged young rich man from London, who bought the shares of the Cavendish family's "Golden Smoke", a businessman who controls shipping and various profitable businesses, a man who is keen on charity, donates money to build roads for the Port of Porti, and is also preparing to build a school...

Isn’t that great?
Who wouldn't like someone like this?
Ladies are fascinated by him and men are willing to make friends with him, even though angels have to use gold powder to groom their beautiful and pure feathers every day - the way this world works is like putting a coin on your thumb and bouncing it hard.

The front side represents money.

The reverse side represents power.

If it stands in a crack in the rock, it will get stuck in the middle.

That's awesome.

It spells a rare fate: it's both.

It's not that Jeff Cavendish hasn't tried anything before. He did commission someone to run a small business.

The result is: that business is not as profitable as the annual income from the Cavendish family's land - how difficult it is to do business nowadays, isn't it?
Doing business is difficult in any era.

Because you have to fight against countless equally smart people.

So, when Jeff Cavendish learned of this rare "magic method", he decided to change his approach: why should he fight the smart ones instead of deceiving the stupider ones?
So, there was Harold Bekanov.

He created a new identity for the young man and had him use his own money to buy out Cavendish's shares in Golden Smoke - this way, he had an 'industry' locally.

Then, he asked him to make friends with businessmen, spend as much as possible, and talk about his "stupidity" and "good luck" in some salons to complete this deceptive cover:

A rich man with no special abilities, by good luck, inherited the family business and has a steady stream of income every year.

Who wouldn’t want to make such an investment?

Most importantly, he looked stupid enough.

——Just as people who invest in railways do not care whether the people in charge of managing the railways are smart, land and landowners are two different things.

soon.

Harold accumulated a lot of wealth.
