I still wonder the real reason to go after Kent’s inheritance, if it was simply that, Niran was/is an idiot.
If it was as a result of poor financial decisions for any number of reasons, then he proved he played the game badily.
One hopes that we’ve seen the last of him….
And, the following speaks volumes…
This is business,” he said, adjusting his cuffs. “You forced it to become procedural.”
“It never was,” I answered
Danilo has the truth of the matter….and the knowledge and means to be effective…
Will this be the moment? Could Benedetto “accidentally “ fall his donkey, or over a bridge?
Benedetto would depart for Siena. His absence brief. His return anticipated.
All of this in the name of a loving, just god who is abused when others are misappropriating his message, on both sides.
And both sides are equally guilty….
Well...there's another shoe to drop, what are the chances it is a visit either by Mickey's mother or underlings...
It is frustrating as I bought the book and won't read ahead!!
It would behoove our amateur sleuths to watch the comings and going’s of the glassworks for a few days and look for patterns…
Until proven otherwise I suspect our minor nobles wife….
Perhaps it is time to put Niran on the back foot with some creative legal maneuvering…
He’s lost the tactical advantage and has been clumsy, making some careless mistakes…A discrete, deep dive into his financial situation is warranted.
I suspect he’s feeling some pressure from yet to be identified entities.
What could possibly go wrong??
Okay," Dimitri said, stepping back. "Let's go claim a planet."
The Gremlin raised its spoon. "FOR SCIENCE! AND SNACKS! AND NO MORE CRATES!
Arm chair warriors are just that and useless to boot. And if the rain keeps coming they will need to build an ark!
Hard to think of the road home when the time comes…
Sometimes life tosses a curve ball….yesterday two young men with white shirts, name badges, and narrow ties, on a mission rang my doorbell….
Thanked them kindly as I wasn’t buying anything, especially encyclopedias, and sent them on their way…
Therein lies the crux of the problem….We know that Cinan can return twice a year, will that be enough or will a way be found so that the boys will be together?
We still have disgruntled neighbors to contend with, hopefully without broken bones or bloodshed…
If the road was difficult before, it’s about to become Hell incarnate…
Hopefully they follow Wylan advice…Welcome aboard Ashot!
Having bought the book, it is all I can do to not read ahead….
Niran, as noted, messed up badly…we are not sure if he knows about the “consulting “ firms payments being found out by the police. Time to let the police squeeze the “director“…there’s more to be found…
Calm and steady…Let cooler heads prevail while Niran F’ups again…
The police called again.
The interrogation of the three men had yielded something new—not a name, but a pattern. The cash payments had been funneled through a small consulting firm that existed mostly on paper. The firm had no employees beyond a listed director.
The director’s name was a middle-aged accountant who had once handled filings for one of Niran’s subsidiary holdings.
