Chapter 29 Fake Bank Transactions

Elsewhere on the Sunstar, a different meeting was going on early this morning. This meeting was between Esong, his secretary Dez and the head manager of the Capital city bank.

Esong who was extremely furious was going through bank transactions on a monitor screen of a computer.

The manager of the bank that had been rudely awakened form bed in the morning to deal with the general was sweating through his clothes and down on his knees.

"It was not our fault general." he struggled to say.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

Esong however ignored him completely and kept on scrolling up and down with so much strength that a few cracks appeared on the computer screen.

In a testy tone, Esong asked the bank manager "What did my assistant tell you do?"

lightsnοvεl The bank manager fell to the marbled floor screeching like a pig being slaughtered. He writhed and the sweat on his body increased to a point that one would think it was raining only around his body.

Dez was worried because at this rate, the general would kill the manager using his mental strength. He had mental strength of SSS+ and he was not allowed to kill any citizen of the empire using this strength unless it was a dangerous situation.

Mental strength in the Sun star empire was accompanied by the power of telepathy. A telepath could kill one with the power of their mind so the higher one's mental strength was, the more dangerous they were classified. All individuals with SS mental strength and above were required to register with a special department which monitored them.

Not even Esong the great general and mecha king could escape could escape the monitoring.

"General, you might kill him." Dez said anxiously.

"Why should I care?" Esong asked.

"If he dies, what will happen to me? What about your wife and child? They will become children of a criminal."

For Dez mentioning Scarlet and Justin was the equivalent of a Hail Mary. If the general was willing to eat food prepared by Scarlet perhaps mentioning her could get him to regain his sanity.

For ten more seconds, Esong suppressed the bank manager and then he let him go.

"Don't just contact them, open an account directly and send me it's details. When you are done with that, change the banking information on my work application and every other business document."

"Yes sir, will you be needing anything else?"

"No. When you are done with your tasks go home and see your family. I am sure Ian, Folsom and Cedric are waiting for me outside the bank."

As soon as Dez left, Esong decided to reply to Scarlet's message and explain the situation. Rather than text, he sent an email.

Dear wife, ...he deleted and changed it to Dear Scarlet.

"Does this sound too personal?" he asked himself. He wondered why something like this was bothering him so much. When did he suddenly start caring about what she thought. She was the first to call him husband, would it be rude if he didn't address her as wife? He changed his mind once again.

"Dear wife,

These bank transactions are proof that I have not been negligent of my financial duties toward you or Justin. I have been sending money monthly but according to the bank it was sent to the wrong account.

All of the money which you had not received has been sent to you as a lumpsum. Spend it wisely."

Esong Wu

He paused and wondered what else he could say. Should he address the divorce comments or ask about her sickness?

"Should I ask about their well being?" he asked himself. "Or should I tell her to send me food regularly? I am a part owner of the Blue star and her husband after all."

So many thoughts went through Esong's mind and in the end he decided to send the email the way it was.

Ten minutes later , Scarlet changed her star net user name and he wilted.

"What is wrong with her?" He asked himself.
