Ben Logan opened all the boxes and found it in the desk drawer.
“I left you here, yes.”
It is a round, flat object with a golden color.
He held it in his hand and blew away the dust.
‘It’s too big for a pocket watch… what is it?’
If we had to compare the size, it was about the size of a powder pact that women use.
“What is this?”
“It’s not a big deal, it’s a compass.”
– Click.
At the push of a button, the cover opened like a pocket watch, revealing the compass needle.
On the outside, it had an antique pattern, but the compass itself seemed nothing special.
“Why did Gary leave this to me?”
“I asked about it too, but they said they could just give it to you. By the way, that’s something Gary always carried with him.”
it was a keepsake
I looked closely at the compass with clairvoyance.
It was because I thought that if he left this for me, I shouldn’t just look at it.
And, of course, there were two special things.
One was that the inside of the lid was doubled.
And there were some words in it.
‘Oh my god, it’s a streamlined body.’
It is a cursive cursive, called cursive in English.
I couldn’t figure this out right now.
It looks like a pain in the ass to interpret on my own.
The other secret was not in the lid, but in the bottom of the body where the compass was.
‘Then that gold chip.’
The chip that Henry had given him, which there are only five in Australia, was hidden on the floor.
I thought it was probably the chip that Gary had for himself.
“Thank you. I will always carry it with me.”
I closed the lid of the compass and put it in the inside pocket of my jacket.
“Come back to play when you have time. We’ll welcome you anytime.”
“Yes, Doctor. I’ll be back next time.”
When I left the lab after saying hello, Yoohyeon was standing there.
“Did you have a good conversation?”
“Yeah. As expected, he’s a great guy. I think he helped a lot. Let’s stop.”
“yes.”

After returning to Myer Hotel,
The first thing I did was look around the floor to get the gold chips out.
The structure was simple.
When I pressed the groove on the bottom and turned it clockwise, it clicked and the bottom opened and I saw the chip fixed in the slot.
“It looks exactly the same.”
I looked around, comparing it to the chip I got from Henry.
But the interest quickly faded, as there was nothing different about it.
Then I put the chip in the original slot.
Then, turning the slot clockwise, an empty slot appeared, and the second chip was placed there.
Because he saw the structure through clairvoyance, he knew how to use it.
And there were still three more empty slots.
“After getting two out of five of these, I have a lust for collecting for nothing.”
When I was young, I collected a lot of tickets, stickers and stamps.
All of a sudden, I lost interest in it for no reason.
There are five chips to commemorate the founding of the Royal Casino.
In Henry’s words, it symbolized the five vertices of the crown, the symbol of the Royal Casino, and he said that Gary Parker made it as a token of appreciation for his close acquaintances.
First of all, I know Gary’s and Henry’s, and gambler David Wolfe also has one.
Ask Henry and you’ll find out about the other two.
But I didn’t want to share anything more about Gary Parker with Henry.
Because of what he said before.
-If I could get a Gary’s eye transplant and become a Clairevoyant, I’d do it.
At one time, when his jealousy peaked, Henry had said that he had it.
So, no matter how much he puts everything down and prepares for the afterlife, he doesn’t want to tell us about these circumstances related to the cornea.
“Somehow, I think these words have something to do with Chip…”
I tore a piece of paper and traced the words hidden inside the compass lid.
Yes, it was not written according to it, but the handwriting was engraved with a blunt enough to be drawn.
“I can’t even understand a single word of this.”
The writing on which the earthworm crawled was as hard to recognize as the curly Arabic typeface.
I turned on my laptop and started deciphering by searching for sites that could convert to cursive English.
an hour for that.
“Ahh! What a messy handwriting!”
I’ve also heard a lot of bad handwriting, but I found only a few letters by comparing them with the cursive one-by-one.
It seemed that it would be difficult to decipher this by myself without someone who knew this handwriting.
It is speculation, but the main character of this handwriting is Gary Parker.
Then, if there is a person who knows his handwriting or a document such as a letter he wrote and an easy-to-understand interpretation of its contents, it will be possible to decipher it.
The problem was that I wanted to do it on my own, so there was only the latter, leaving the former aside.
“It’s a document and an interpretation written by Gary Parker himself… How do you get something like that? Ugh, it’s not even deciphering some ancient text.”
I leaned on the backrest and sighed as I looked out the window at the night view.
I felt like I wanted to run to Henry right away with a note.
He will recognize his friend’s handwriting.
‘I accidentally made a secret for Henry…’
Gary Parker’s cornea, his compass, and a gold chip.
Previously, I thought I could share everything with Henry, but I couldn’t.
It’s only been a few months since I started migrating.
‘You really don’t know what the world will be like.’
I couldn’t see even an inch ahead like this, but Gary Parker looked amazing again.
He would have expected it.
That a person with the same condition as you could get clairvoyance if he had his or her cornea transplanted.
And he knew that if he awakened his clairvoyance, he would somehow visit the Frederick Hollow Foundation.
‘What did he want to convey to me with this compass and chip? And why did you entrust your belongings to me instead of my son…’
I did not take my eyes off the night view for a long time, contemplating the answer.
***
Melbourne royal crown casino and resort.
It is the headquarters of the Royal Crown Group and the largest business site in Australia.
The building, which could be brought to Las Vegas, was also an eye-catcher for casino visitors.
In the center of the main building there was a symbol representing the Royal Crown, and the entire lower floor was used as the president’s office.
It was as if they were giving the symbolism that they were wearing a crown.
“what’s this!”
Jaden Parker nervously turned the report over.
“All Mining was a subsidiary of Bearfax?”
“Yes, Jencock’s mining rights, which were exchanged for shares in the P&B group, were transferred to All Mining and a mining subsidiary was established. In the process, Chairman Henry Bearfax said that he handed over 70% of All Mining’s shares to Edward Jean.”
In response to Paul’s reply, his direct secretary, Jaden threw the report on the desk and shouted.
“That doesn’t mean you gave him a stake in the P&B group!”
“……”
“I’m sure the inspiration is senile, but I brought an Asian I’d never heard of for a while and passed it on to me!
“No. I haven’t touched it since then.”
Jaden sighed in relief.
“How is the debt situation of P&B group?”
“It has decreased to 45% of its current assets. It is safe to say that it is almost financially recovered.”
“I mean, he’s a very talented yangban. If the debt ratio was over 500%, would it make sense to lower it to 45% in a few years?”
“Would you otherwise be called a hermit manager? I heard that he was the one who did real internal management even when the former president was alive.”
“Yeah, that’s why I took the debt and passed it on to the inspiration. After the old man dies, who will it go to? He doesn’t have any blood on it.
“Yes, there was no direct succession of shares, but the possibility of transferring the shares in various ways in the future cannot be ruled out.”
“Is it? Maybe the inspiration could adopt that chink as his adopted son before he dies. Then it’s a real headache.”
Paul shook his head.
As he said, if Edward Jean was adopted by Henry Bearfax, there would be no way out.
“Rumor has it that Henry Bearfax’s confidence in Edward Jean is great. If the mining industry does something remarkable, the shareholders won’t be against it, even if he makes him the group’s successor.”
“That’s right. The reason we secured so many mining rights even through the share exchange is that shareholders’ expectations for the new business are high.”
“Instead, if you fail, it’s the end. If your expectations are high, your disappointment will increase when you get frustrated.”
“Will the old man be hurt?”
“It will be. With this big deal, 30% of P&B Group’s stake has been transferred to Jencock. If it fails, Henry Bearfax’s position will also be at stake.”
“The problem is that inspiration has never failed. Damn inspiration, you don’t use that good skill for me, but Asians…”
Jaden denigrated the Asian with his words, but at the same time, he had no choice but to acknowledge it.
Because he won $40 million in Melbourne Cup bets and $80 million from himself.
Moreover, the distribution was not hesitant at all to donate that huge amount as a donation.
It was like seeing his own father in the past.
“Just because Henry Bearfax has not failed, there is no way it will continue to be so. How about meeting with the shareholders of P&B Group in advance?”
“We should meet… but…”
Jaden picked up one of the reports he had thrown on the desk.
“Isn’t it faster to ruin something than to wait for it to fail?”
“……”
“According to this report, Jencock, is it Forescue Metal to have a confrontation with All Mining? Contact them.”
“Are you going to meet Chairman Andy Foresque?”
“Why? Are you against it?”
“He is a very resourceful person. If you think easily and meet someone…”
“Hey! Now I’m going to ask you to meet me without thinking? And what if you’re resourceful? I’m comfortable with this?”
“That’s not what I meant…”
“Am I in a position to get your advice? Are you going to look at me like a pawn because I lost 80 million dollars?”
Paul shook his head and sweated profusely.
“I’m sorry, Chairman. I think I made a mistake.”
“Do your best. And if it’s my right arm, don’t be afraid of those bastards who live on the ground. Isn’t it a country where waves come out only in the front yard of your house? What’s so great about mining in such a country?”
“……”
“Get out.”
As soon as Paul left the office, he let out a long sigh.
“Ha… fuck. What? Only 80 million dollars? If that’s the only thing, I’ll give you some, you bastard.”
With that money, his life would change 180 degrees.
Paul glanced at the office door with envy, but thought he was pathetic.
‘The group president is such a shallow thought… I wonder how much more he is trying to rip off when he meets the president of Foresque.’
He was a chairman who was caught in every negotiation with other companies because of how ridiculous he looked at the business.
Not even once, I can’t get my mind to roll up a whole P&B group.
Paul was worried that the Royal Casino group would go bankrupt if this happened.
‘I’d rather the chairman of Bearfax succeed in the mine and get his hands on the Royal Casino Group…’
But that was just a wish in vain.
Because Henry Bearfax drew a line with his friend’s son, Jaden Parker, when he received the P&B group.
He had no stake in the Royal Casino.
“Heh! It’s frustrating, really.”
