Within a few days German's worries came out to be true:

The person he thought was suspicious was actually spying on him the whole time.

And he needed to stop the spy.

And he did.

How?

You'll see it later.

----- TIME SKIP -----

Fernand de Morcerf's life was great and chill until the moment when he got a letter which made him almost faint.

On the letter he read the name "German Castillo".

Seeing and reading that name again after long years made him shiver and he also went pale immediately.

- What the hell is this?! - he moaned as he looked around in his office, but he realized he was all alone so he had no choice, but to read the letter.

His hands were shaking in fear while he was opening the letter.

He was scared what will he read in the letter.

"Come to the funeral home in the graveyard in Marseille today at 3pm."

That's all that was in the letter.

No name that who wrote this... Because Fernand was guessing this is just some kind of joke, that someone is trying to scare him.

Nothing was there to even tell him who wrote the letter and he was terrified.

He didn't know what to do and for some reason he felt like the others got a similar letter like this, but he didn't have time to ask them as he had to head to the place.

----- TIME SKIP -----

Arriving in place he found himself in front of a confused Villefort and a terrified Danglars.

- You got a letter too? - Danglars asked.

- Yes... You two?

- Yes - they said at the same time.

Just by now Fernand arrived closer he saw a coffin which made him shiver.

- What... Is this?! - he gasped - Did you look into it?

- Not yet - Villefort replied - But we should now.

- Wait! - Danglars screamed - What if there's anyone in there?

- If anyone's there... The person's probably dead - Villefort groaned - Don't even start saying a dead person will come alive!

Meanwhile Fernand was terrified to find German in the coffin, or someone else... Or ANYONE... In fact...

After a while of little arguments the three men opened the coffin and the first person that jumped back surprisingly was Villefort.

The other two were only shocked to find an unknown man laying in there with a wide stab wound in his heart and several bruises.

- What? Who is this man? - asked Danglars.

- This is a spy - Villefort replied.

- A spy? - Fernand asked back.

- Yes! A fucking spy I sent after Monte Cristo to find out what the actual fuck he's doing! But he's dead now!

The other two men went pale immediately and in the meantime suddenly Pablo appeared.

- Do you think he... - Danglars started, but he was soon cut off by Villefort.

- Of course he did it! - said Pablo - He knows your secret! He knows everything and he seek revenge!

- What the fuck?! - snapped Villefort.

- You heard me well! In fact he wants to take revenge on me too!

- Of course, you jackass! - groaned Danglars - You wrote that goddamn letter after all!

- What?!

- Yes! So you'll get what we'll be getting too!

- Shut the fuck up for a second! - snapped Fernand as he found a piece of paper on the top of the dead body which read:

"I'm back. Be ready... My friends."

At this point all the three men were sure about the one thing they thought first when they got the letter:

The man they thought died is alive.

And now he's ready to get revenge on all the three of them.
