Chapter 25 Barclays Trust Bank (1)

Three bronze telescopes were still standing on the table, and the attic was depressed and deserted.

Slowly walking towards the window and checking with the binoculars, the sniper did not reappear, but the cold wind blew into the room without any obstruction.

"Who the hell wanted to kill Williams?"

"Anyway, it's not safe here, I'm going to move as soon as possible. ”

"Before you leave, you have to pack up Williams' belongings and take them all with you. ”

Hanging the telescope back to his waist, Bill left the attic and went to the bathroom.

The washroom is more like a public restroom, with glazed bricks being worn out of color, black silt accumulating in the brick joints, and faucets, toilets, and shower heads being half-spaced by brick walls, and the water flowing tepidly and unwarm.

There were also tenants in the bathroom to wash up, and when they saw Bill leaving in a hurry, they avoided it.

Bill took a basin of water and prepared to clean up.

Wipe the windowsill and wooden table clean to make sure there is nothing in the drawer of the wooden table, then block the wooden table against the window and lean back on the chair.

While blocking the wind, prevent someone from climbing into the attic in the middle of the night.

After changing the dirty water and cleaning until late at night, Bill finally cleaned up around the bed, hung the broken quilt on the wooden table, and replaced it with clean sheets.

Lying on the bed, he finally had time to open the letters stuffed with the fat woman's cabinet.

However, life is so unsatisfactory that sometimes God closes a door and will help you close the window by the way.

Randomly pulled out a letter and tore it open, and inside was a bank demand note.

"Dear Mr. Williams Cliff, your credit business with our Bank in February 1734 has been overdue for three months. 」

"Please go to our bank as soon as possible to go through the loan repayment procedures, if you deliberately default on the loan and fail to repay the interest for half a year, the consequences will be very serious. 」

"We will apply for the help of the court to forcibly confiscate your deposits, you will lose your civil rights, go to prison to repay the loan with work, and at the same time pay double the interest and liquidated damages on the debt during the delay in performance. 」

Bill's forehead twitched slightly, and he opened another letter.

"Dear Mr. Williams Cliff, the credit you made in January 1734 is due, and you are requested to pay the interest on the loan in due course......

“***!*****!!”

Angrily throwing away the letter in his hand, and after a burst of social scolding, Bill opened the other envelopes, which were full of demand notes from major banks.

Based on the loan amount and the time of the loan, Bill fully believed that Williams had demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall, and when the loan from one bank was about to expire, he would go to another bank to borrow money to make up for it.

In the end, when the hole grew bigger and bigger, he took the risk to borrow from usury to repay it, and then continued to borrow money from the bank.

The time to repay the money was just right, and it was never overdue for more than half a year, but it was never returned on time.

Bill couldn't understand why these banks dared to lend money to Williams, because the banking industry was just starting out and had never experienced a subprime mortgage crisis, so he didn't know moderation?

However, looking at the reminders on these bank demand notes, the consequences of defaulting on bank loans in this world seem to be very serious.

If you are in arrears for more than half a year, you will be complained, and the court will make a judgment to repay the loan with labor services, and it is not known exactly what Bill will do.

But from the experience gained from the Sivar mines, Bill believes that jobs that are sufficient to repay the loan are not reliable.

"I'm here to find a way to leave, not to clean up the mess for him!"

"Dare to take that dangerous commission, as an evil wizard with great power, why is he so poor?"

"Look at this filthy attic, how can there be a little bit of the appearance and consciousness of being a wizard, at least there should be a crucible furnace!"

"And why borrow so much money, there are no luxuries in the house, even if you drink vodka every day, you don't need so much money......"

"Looking at the posters of female stars on his wall, is he still a star chaser?"

"Shit! He wouldn't really be out there stealing women?"

"Whew-"

Bill was lying on the bed gasping for breath, his limbs weak, and he felt that swearing was more physically demanding than killing, and at the same time felt tired for the first time.

He thinks he came here with only one mission, which is to wipe the ass of 'Williams'.

However, since he still has money, Bill decides to repay the bank loan to avoid unnecessary trouble, and when the safe is recovered, he is still rich.

"Go to Barclays Trust Bank and get the safe back as soon as possible, or I'll have to eat dirt next month." ”

"Will they denied that they had ever rented me a safe, and I only had a key to the safe as evidence, and the bank could say that my key was fake. ”

"What if Barclays Trust Bank doesn't admit that they have embezzled or lost my safe deposit box, will they go to court to complain, will the bank collude with the court?"

"It shouldn't be the kind of unreasonable bank, and looking at the information collected by the Brotherhood, the reputation of the companies under the Barclays consortium has always been good. ”

"Without that, Barclays wouldn't be where they are now, especially if they want to grow in a banking industry where credibility is paramount. ”

"The point is the complicated relationship between Elijah Barclay and Colonn Barclay, and it was pure misfortune that I was drawn into the struggle between their father and daughter!"

"It's useless to go to Barclays Trust Bank first, and if they have a bad attitude, I'll make a big deal out of it. ”

"Tomorrow I have to find a new house where I can observe the surroundings of the brick building, and if the sniper loses once, he will come again, and he must always be vigilant when he goes out to run errands during the day. ”

Bill closes his eyes, the shadow eyeballs reappear, there are no suspicious figures around, and he should be safe tonight.

Fall asleep in complaining and wake up in exhaustion.

After a light breakfast, Bill heads to Financial Street, a central area, to take care of bank repayments and recover safes.

In the morning, Bill ran almost the entire street, but fortunately, the bank processed the repayments very quickly, and after each one, Bill opened the next envelope and went to another bank according to the prompts.

The phrase "debt-free and light" did not apply to Bill, and as the weight of the money bag became lighter and lighter, his mood was heavy and restless.

"Damn Williams, he'd better not owe anyone any more money, or I'll kill myself before I leave, and his soul will never return!"

There was only one envelope left in his hand, and this envelope was a little different from the previous one, it was smaller, and it was not called Williams in a different way.

Bill opened the envelope, and it wasn't a bank demand note.

It's a thank you letter.

"Thank you, dear Bill, for the gift, I love it. 」

"You don't have to send me money, I know you need it more out there. 」

"I'm fine, it's business as usual, please don't worry. 」

There were only three short sentences on the letter, and Bill's palms shook involuntarily, and his heart was extremely dull.

"Did I guess it?"

"Really have a woman out there?"

"There won't be another child!"

"Phew!

Hurried to the head office of Barclays Trust Bank, where the reception staff is very warm, Brittus has a lot of private banks, and banks with poor service attitude will soon be eliminated from the market.

"Sir, welcome to Barclays Trust Bank, what business do you need to handle......

"I want to see the manager. ”

Straight to the point, anxious.

As the money in his hands became scarcer, it was understandable why John was so eager for the gold pound, and at the same time a little ashamed that he had once mocked the fat man.

"I want to see the manager!"

"Sir, please calm down, may I be able to help you, the manager is in a meeting. ”

The receptionist kept smiling and followed Bill, a little confused.

"I was treated unfairly in your bank, and now I want to get what belongs to me back!"

"Injustice? How can this be ......?"

"That's right, it's unfair, and it's causing huge losses and mental damage!"

The more he talked, the more serious it became, and the receptionist frowned, guessing that he might be making trouble, trying to get a favor from the bank, or that he was in an abnormal mental state.

Security personnel also slowly approached, and if they did something aggressive, they would immediately intervene.

"Sir, are you sure you are doing business with our Barclays Trust Bank, which branch are you doing business in, can you tell me what happened?"

The receptionist smiled again, he had faced many vexatious guests, and treating these guests as abnormal was the best way for him to adjust his mentality.

"Tell the security guards to stay away from me, I'm not kidding!"

"I used to do business at the Grunsey branch, I rented a safe deposit box, and the woman who handled my business was Illya Barclay!"

Far away from Brittus, a man is going through the hardest moment of his life.

"No, I'm not a monster......"

"I didn't mean to kill you, you go to that man, don't look for me......"

"Don't!"

John suddenly woke up, covered in cold sweat, and lay in the single cabin gasping for breath.

The experience of escaping death in the Sivar mines gave him nightmares, and he lived every day in fear of a monster suddenly rushing out of some dark corner and eating him alive.

What terrified him even more was the image of the wizard named Bill throwing those people into the deep mines, which John will never forget in his life.

Although he lived in fear every day, the monster did not appear, the police did not come to the door, and the wizard gave himself a large sum of money in addition to forgetting everything he had seen in the mines.

This made John resentful of him, but he definitely didn't want to see that man again.

Fortunately, John is getting closer to home, and his life is finally no longer full of gloom.

Whenever he thinks that he is about to see his old mother, and his longing wife, the gentle and considerate Mina, John can rekindle his hope, and even reduce his nightmares.

Marrying Mina was the happiest thing in his life.

Everything will pass, as the man said, the nightmare is over, and then he just needs to deal with the fear and let time smooth everything out.

His life will get better and better.
