Chapter 404: The Iris Society’s Distress

On this day, Pacey and his colleagues arrived at the headquarters of the Iris Club early as usual.

He is a security supervisor at the Iris Club and is generally responsible for security during the day.

You must arrive at the workplace before dawn every day, hand over work to your colleagues on the night shift, and then start checking for safety hazards to prepare for the incoming workers.

Today, after he handed over the work to his colleagues as usual, he began to assign tasks and assigned everyone to start working.

Originally, he thought that today would be the same as usual, just an ordinary day.

But not long after assigning the task, he discovered that there was a problem.

A subordinate came to report that a black gift box appeared in the lobby for no reason. This thing was not there when the handover was made.

Percy was shocked when he heard the news.

You should know that an unknown object suddenly appeared in the lobby. Although it didn't seem like a big deal, Percy knew that this was an extremely serious security incident.

Because this shows that someone has sneaked into the Iris headquarters silently, and it would be terrible if he had any bad intentions.

So while he led people to the scene, he assigned manpower to block all exits.

And all the magicians on duty were dispatched and began to inspect the entire building floor by floor.

And he himself went to the lobby to check the situation.

When he arrived at the lobby, he found a large black wooden box half a person's height placed in the middle of the lobby, and several of his men were pointing around the wooden box.

When one of his subordinates saw the commander coming, he hurried forward to report: "Sir, it's this big wooden box. Although it looks very big, I tried it with a few brothers just now and found that it is not very heavy.

It should have been put in when we took over the shift just now.

However, the brother on duty said he did not see anyone coming or going.

By the way, there is another line of text on it.

But sir, you also know that none of us can read and don't know what is written. "

When Percy heard this, he nodded and walked towards the wooden box without saying anything else.

He went straight to the side with the writing on it and looked at it carefully.

It says: "Gift to all the employees who work hard for Iris!"

Seeing this, Percy smiled slightly: "Does any of you know what special day today is?"

When everyone present heard the question, they immediately looked at each other, not knowing why the officer asked.

But there was an elf who saw something from the officer's expression and probably guessed something.

So he said: "Today is Chairman Botero's birthday."

When Percy heard this, he immediately understood what was going on, so he asked someone to open the box with a gesture of his hand.

When the wooden box was pried open and the contents inside were revealed, everyone present suddenly exclaimed.

What I saw inside was a purple cube with a length, width, and height of about 30 centimeters.

The cube is composed of recently issued banknotes, each with the highest denomination.

A new coin with the maximum face value can be exchanged for approximately one imperial gold coin.

In other words, here...

Percy was stunned.

He couldn't believe his eyes that the chairman actually gave everyone so many bonuses on his birthday.

While he was shocked by Chairman Botero's generosity, he also felt that something was wrong.

He knows this kind of capitalist very well. He usually finds various reasons to make deductions from his salary. How could he give everyone so much money?

There must be something wrong here.

So he quickly stopped everyone's looting, and at the same time picked up a banknote and looked at it.

Since the Iris Society stipulates that wages will be paid in banknotes from now on, everyone is still familiar with banknotes.

When Pesci picked up the banknotes, there was no problem with the texture or the logo.

Only then could he be sure that all this was true.

I thought to myself, maybe these capitalists suddenly changed their gender.

Just when he was overjoyed, he accidentally glanced at the lower right corner of the banknote and suddenly realized something was wrong.

So he immediately took out a salary that had just been paid out from his pocket.

When I compared the two pictures, my eyes widened immediately.

At the same time, he shouted: "No, this is counterfeit money!"

…

In the Iris Club's highest decision-making conference room, six old men were sitting quietly on chairs.

They are all the chairman of the Iris Society, holding high positions of authority, but now they all have pale faces and say nothing.

At this time, the door of the conference room opened.

Chairman Botero walked into the conference room with a big belly.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a pile of banknotes on the conference table.

He had already roughly heard what happened, and as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the banknotes, picked up one and looked at it.

The eyebrows immediately knitted together at this sight.

"Except it's not made by us, it can no longer be called counterfeit!" Botero was the first to break the silence.

At this time, an old man pointed to the lower right corner of the banknote: "Look carefully at the lower right corner!"

After hearing this, Botero took a closer look at the lower right corner and was surprised to find that there were several strange codes composed of letters and numbers.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly picked up several other banknotes and compared them with the one in his hand.

He was even more surprised by this comparison.

"How is it possible? This counterfeit currency can actually be printed with different codes. How is it possible?"

You must know the art of printing. It is easy to print the same content, but it is not easy to print a large number of different content.

The old man just heard this and smiled bitterly: "Obviously, the person who made the counterfeit must have mastered some incredible printing skills, which can constantly change symbols and put different codes.

We have just confirmed that no set of codes are the same.

That is to say, that person's anti-counterfeiting technology is better than ours.

In fact, it's more than just the code. Take the banknote and look at it in the sun."

Hearing this, Portello took the banknote to the window and looked at it in the sun.

When he saw it, his mouth opened so wide that a pumpkin could be stuffed in.

"Change color!"

Everyone's face became even uglier because of these two words.

"Who is that person? What is his purpose?"

"Not sure!" The old man spread his hands: "But what is certain is that if he wants to make counterfeit money, we will suffer heavy losses. After all, the banknotes we issue are linked to gold.

In this way, the basis for our issuance of banknotes is no longer there."

As soon as this was said, the conference room fell silent again.

"Find him!" Portello broke the silence again: "If he is willing to cooperate, give him enough benefits. If he is not willing, kill him. There are only a few printing factories along the coast, and he can't hide."

"We have considered this!" said the old man, "and have sent people to investigate.

However, there is a printing factory in Maro City, which belongs to the Tegru family.

And this Tegru family is completely under the command of Ethan.

This makes us think more about the cause of this incident.

What's more, a few months ago, this Tegru family was caught in the crisis of the Holy Light Church, but it was eliminated by Mr. Ethan in a blink of an eye."

Speaking of this, everyone actually guessed what happened.

But Portello disagreed: "Maybe things are not that bad, and the person who sent the money did not explain his intention. Maybe that person is not from Maro City, he just wants a share of the profit!"

After hearing this, everyone present smiled bitterly.

"No matter what the other party's reason is, we must suspend the exchange of banknotes first!"
