Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 80 Lectures

   At noon, Chloe came back from work, and the four of them had dinner with other comrades.

Today's lunch of the Equality Society consists of mashed potato cakes, vegetarian pies, cabbage mixed with mushrooms, pickled cucumbers in vinegar, and honey tea. This is difficult for some members who lived in a good environment before, but Verac didn't care , eat with relish.

   "Chris, the meeting time has been set, and it will start at three o'clock this afternoon." Boyne has already arranged the time, "The location is still where we had the meeting before."

  The basement meeting room where they met before was not that big, and Verak estimated that not many people would come to listen: "How many people are going to listen?"

"Counting the three of us, there are forty-one people in total. Even if the meeting room is crowded, we can still sit down." Boyne poured a cup of honey tea for Verac, Chloe, and Morais, "After the meeting, These thirty-eight reserve backbones will rush to eleven major cities at home and abroad for support."

   "Yeah." Verak nodded, chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Speaking of which, my father should be as anxious as an ant on a hot pan by now."

  Bo Yin took a sip of honey tea: "As soon as you leave, he will know that we are fully prepared."

"That's right." Verak picked up a piece of vegetarian pie, "My departure is a signal that we are ready. I asked for two months to pay in full. I guess this request made my father miscalculate. I thought he had at least a month to prepare."

   "So what do we do next?" Chloe asked.

  Morais flexed his neck while chewing food, as if he was about to have a big fuck.

   "Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Verac briefly established the policy of the Equality Association.

   "Aren't we going to make a move?" Chloe was a little surprised.

"We increase our strength not to actively attack the Thomas family, but to effectively resist and counterattack when they attack us." Boyne explained first, "After all, it is meaningless for us to actively attack them. What's the benefit. So it's good to leave this matter to others, and now the more than ten forces who have mastered the bill are probably eyeing the Thomas family covetously."

   "Byne is right." Willak admitted. Boyin is a smart person, and he can easily understand his thoughts, which makes him feel very easy to get along with.

   "Let's hand over the work after dinner." Boin suggested.

  In the previous month and a half, Verak was under house arrest for most of the time, unable to fully devote himself to the work of the Equality Society, so most of the things were done by a few of them, and Verak was only responsible for major decisions.

   Now that Veraker has returned, as the president, he can no longer appear to be empty, nor can he waste his outstanding ability in vain.

The reason why Veraker didn't come to live in the first place after breaking up with Carmine was because he thought there were too many things to do, so he decisively found a reason to shirk: "Now is a critical period, and some things may be inappropriate at this juncture. , wait for the war with my family to come to an end, and then prepare for the handover."

  Because what Verac said was not unreasonable, Boyin had no choice but to agree and put the matter on hold for the time being.

   After eating, everyone got busy again.

   There is no such thing as a lunch break in the Equality Association. Everyone is going all out to use the time and complete the work with the highest efficiency.

  It was still early for the meeting, Boin, Chloe, and Morais were all busy, and Verac couldn't be lazy on the surface, so he went back to the room to rest in the name of preparing for the afternoon meeting.

  In the room, Verak lay on the bed, playing with the pistol and the magazine, recalling the first time he killed someone.

  Strictly speaking, the driver he killed was the first time on the day Carmine wanted to eradicate him. Although Dempsey also died because of him, but not directly by his hands, so the impact was not strong enough.

   What surprised Veraker was that he didn't know if it was because he was too busy, but he didn't feel any strange feeling after killing the driver, and he didn't have any nightmares or any discomfort.

   It is also possible that both Dempsey and the driver were the ones who wanted to put him to death, so he didn't have any psychological burden to kill him out of self-protection, and was more fortunate to escape from death.

   Even so, Verak still hopes that the future will be smooth sailing, and this situation will not happen again. He does not want too much blood on his hands. I didn't want to kill people, and I didn't want to solve the problem blindly by killing people.

  It was the scorching heat, and the warehouse was extremely hot. After lying down for a while, Verak felt his whole body was sweating, so he had to get up and go outside to breathe.

  Outside the warehouse is a lush forest, and there is a small stream flowing with cool water, which is a perfect place to escape the summer heat. Verac picked a spot under the shade of a tree, and sat down to rest by the stream.

   Time passed, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, Verak came to the meeting room under the warehouse.

Boyin and the others have already arrived, and have prepared enough seats for more than forty people to sit. Everyone is crowded in the small meeting room, and the air is so stuffy that people can hardly breathe. Verak looks at everyone's clothes visible to the naked eye. His speed was soaked in sweat, but no one complained, all looked at him eagerly.

   Looking at the pair of clear eyes that were also looking at him, Verak was a little moved.

  He calmed down after being unbearably hot, took a deep breath, walked to the front, looked at the crowd and asked, "Who can tell me what equality is?"

   As soon as the voice fell, more than a dozen hands were raised.

  Verak picked up one person.

   "Equality means enjoying the same rights and the same dignity, regardless of high or low." The young man replied.

"Everyone should have read the theory of equality." Verak paced back and forth to ease the tension, "Equality is indeed just like what this young man said, it is as simple as that, we want the same rights, we want mutual respect, sound personality .But the seemingly simple request is extremely difficult to achieve. Who knows why.”

   "Because people who benefit from the current unequal system do not want the situation to be changed." Someone stood up and said, "In their view, once the situation changes, their interests will be deprived of their interests by the people at the bottom who suffer from inequality and oppression."

Hearing the word deprivation, Verak sneered: "In fact, the rights and all the benefits enjoyed by these upper-class people are deprived from the people at the bottom. If we have to say, all we have to do is let them take what they don't Spit out what should be eaten and return it to others.”
