Chloe only remembered that Verak had used him countless times and stolen one million gold grams, causing the Equality Society to temporarily change all the sites.
Morais remembered that Verac agreed to the key armed proposal, borrowed bills to obtain tens of millions of gold grams of development funds for the Equality Society, and was imprisoned in Damans Prison without leaking any information about the Equality Society.
The two people care about different things, which leads to their completely different attitudes towards Verak.
Verac did not dare to think that he saved the Equality Society. After Morais and Piaf commented on him, affirmed his contribution to the Equality Society, and recognized his ability and honesty, his mood changed.
Somewhat complicated: "...Thank you."
"Comrade Nord said that you were seriously injured in prison. If equality had not given you strength, you would have been unable to hold on." Morais basically listened to Nord's story on the way here.
Afterwards, "I'm curious. Since the Equality Society can give you such powerful power, why did you leave in the first place?"
"Because I couldn't face the changes in myself at that time." Verak smiled and shook his head slightly, recalling his former self with great emotion, "I had only one idea before, and that was to get a sum of money and leave by pretending to be Chris. No.
Thinking of it, in order to pretend to be more like me and not reveal my secret in front of you, as I got to know Chris better, I was also moved by his behavior and his theory of equality."
Morais listened patiently to Verak's story.
"I have even become more knowledgeable about the theory of equality than any of you. I have even spent all day and night thinking about how to write Chapter 10 and how we can cure the diseases that exist in the world. But even so, I am obviously moved.
I still dare not admit that I have accepted everything from you and been infected by you. Because I am very sure that this is the closest I have ever been to glory and wealth in my life, and I don’t want to give it up." Verak did not shy away from covering up his
Unbearable, he has always felt that only by facing up to his unbearableness can he change it.
"It's understandable." Verak's thoughts were normal. Morais nodded without any objection.
"Later, Colin died, and I was imprisoned in a government building, completely missing the life I had longed for. All my previous efforts were in vain, and I fell to the bottom. That unwillingness finally disappeared." Verak snorted.
The voice was very heavy, as if there were a lot of things accumulated in my heart.
West, "...later, Boyin, who didn't know the truth, broke into the government building desperately to rescue me. At that time, I had no intention of pretending to be Chris anymore, so I confessed everything to him and did my last thing.
We tried our best to make amends and brought him out safely."
The room was very quiet. It was either the first time for the four people present to hear what Verak said, or the first time to hear him explain all his changes in such detail.
"I was imprisoned in Damans Prison. Because of my status, I was given special attention by the deputy warden. He tortured me for nine consecutive days until I fainted. I wanted to die at the time, but I thought of the Equality Society. Equality
On the subject, when I think of those comrades who are younger than me but much better than me, I feel that my life and the meaning of my existence
Justice should not just be this." Verak said calmly, "...In fact, as expected, I died on the tenth day, because my body was really close to the limit of endurance. I still remember that night I
I cried and told Teacher Keating that I couldn't hold on anymore and I was going to die. I really wanted to go to sleep that night, because dying like that was the easiest way."
"After listening to what I said, Mr. Keating gave me an excerpt of the theory of equality that I told him and threw it to me. He told me that I had only told him nine chapters and that I must live to tell him more. I said that the book only had nine chapters.
, I don’t know what’s behind it.” Verak smiled, that scene
It’s really sad and funny now that I think about it. “He said, no matter what, I will hold on for one more night. I thought about it, maybe a miracle will happen? I have persisted for nine days, and one more night should be no problem.
It was so big that I gritted my teeth and held on until dawn."
True stories are always so easy to impress. Morais and Piaf listened carefully without understanding the situation, but Nord, who was Verac's best friend, even had red eyes.
"On the tenth day, the Equality Association and the government reached a peace negotiation. Due to my status, no one in the prison suddenly dared to touch me, and no one dared to let me die." Verak spread his hands, grinned, and laughed.
Things are fickle, "After a period of treatment, I stood up again and decided to start planning a prison escape. But how easy is it to escape? No prisoner has ever escaped alive from Damans Prison in decades.
After that, I thought for a long time, and with the help of Teacher Keating, I began to explore how to revive the desire for freedom among the prisoners who had lost hope, and how to get them the most basic respect... just like this, little by little.
We all united as never before, and while the warden and deputy warden were focused on the power struggle, we broke out and broke out. In the end, it was successful."
"I admire you very much." Morais groaned, stood up, and stretched out his hand.
After speaking about his experiences over the past few months, Verak felt relieved. He also stood up and shook hands with Morais again: "No matter what, I still want to say sorry to you and to the Equality Association."
Morais held Verak's hand tightly, his eyes fiery: "Then on behalf of all members of the Equality Association, I accept your apology."
"Thank you." Verak pursed his lips.
"You have been through so much..." Nord heard many words, but didn't know where to start. He was not a complete witness of Verak's transformation, but he overlapped the former Verak and the current Verak.
, Verak, who looks like a rising sun after overlapping, can explain a lot of things.
"Nothing." Verak chuckled at Nord.
What he has experienced and what he has persisted through is nothing to him.
"Comrade Verak." Morais changed his name to Verak, with a solemn look and a strong voice, "I formally invite you to join the Equality Society and become one of us to work together for a new world, for equality, for freedom, and for
Beauty, fighting for unity.”
Comrade Verak.
For the first time, Verak was called this by his true identity. From today on, he is no longer the fake Chris, he is his true self.
He and Chris are completely different yet complementary stars.
No one can cover up anyone's glory.
"I'm honored." Verak shook hands with Morais harder, "Comrade Morais."
"Comrade Keating, I formally invite you to join the Equality Society, become one of us, and fight together for a new world, for equality, for freedom, for beauty, and for unity." Morais extended an invitation to Keating.
Keating stood up: "It's an honor too."
Piaf also stood up and the four of them shook hands.
Nord stood aside and watched this scene, and was sincerely happy for Verak. He didn't know much about the Equality Society, and the slogans that everyone said hadn't impressed him yet, but he saw that Equality would have such great magic power.
, made Verak a different person in just a few months. He finally became interested and secretly decided to get to know him better.
"Now only a small number of people in the Equality Society know your true identity. What are your plans? Are you going to maintain stability as Chris for the time being, or -" Morais asked what Verak would do when he re-enters the Equality Society.
The first problem faced.
"Come back with my true identity." Verak said without hesitation.
"Okay." Morais sat down again, "Then just be yourself."
Verac, Keating, and Piaf also sat down.
"Chloe is very disgusted with you. It's very difficult to change his prejudice against you and his view on the future development path of equality. It can't be solved in a day or two." Morais has a headache for the old-fashioned and stubborn Chloe.
, "You can first settle down in the place I am responsible for, help me take care of things, and integrate into the organization as soon as possible."
"It's best this way." Verak didn't originally want to fight with Chloe. Now that time is running out, he has no time to waste time on changing Chloe's opinion of him.
After Verak's impersonation of Chris was caught and Boyin took the initiative to act as a hostage, Chloe and Morais were responsible for the affairs of the two areas respectively. Chloe was in charge of the North District and the East District, and Morais was in charge of the affairs.
West District, South District.
"Then we'll go with you," Nord interrupted.
He, Diaz, and Murphy joined the Equality Society just to save Verak, and they stood with Chloe and supported the true peace talks because they could ensure that Verak came back alive.
Now that Verak has escaped from prison and has similar interests as Morais, they naturally have no reason to stay with Chloe.
"He, Diaz, and Murphy are all my friends, and they joined the Equality Society because of me." Verak nodded slightly and explained the situation of the three of them to Morais, "They are all reliable and their abilities are trustworthy.
It would be best if I go together to help you."
"Then let's leave together. I'll just inform Chloe about the personnel changes." Morais made the decision and settled the matter.
As one of the leaders of the Equality Society, he decided to recruit new members and transfer old members easily.
"Would you like to get up now?" Verak asked.
"Of course, the sooner the better. When you get to my place, I will introduce some people to you. Maybe we can have a meeting tonight to finalize how to reach a consensus with Chloe." Morais won over Yiwei.
The five people led by Lack planned to return as soon as possible.
"Can you give me a moment?" Verak thought for a moment and asked again.
Morais said: "Do you have anything else to do?"
"I want to see Colin."
Colin's death was a knot in Verak's heart. Unlike Dempsey who was forced to fight back when Dempsey wanted to kill him, Colin was for his own good and died for him from beginning to end.
The first thing he wanted to do after he came back was to see Colin, say sorry to this naive and simple boy who didn't know much about the world, and then turn around and use his own practical actions to make up for what he owed.
"He's dead, did you know?"
"I know." Verak heard many people say this.
"Boyin has visited him. He should be buried in the South District." Morais recalled what he remembered about Colin, "I am also in charge of the South District. I will take you there first."
After you go to the West District and get settled, I will arrange for you to meet him."
Verak didn't speak, just nodded.
"Then let's set off." Morais stood up again.
Nord had just packed up his, Diaz, and Murphy's luggage not long ago. Verak and Keating didn't even have any belongings. They only carried a box containing more than 500,000 gold grams and quickly followed Morai.
St. Piaf went out and found Diaz Murphy, who was responsible for driving to pick up Morais.
After briefly explaining the situation to the two of them, the two quickly accepted the new situation of working with Verak and Morais, and drove to the West End.
The West End is the most prosperous business district in Lezein, and it is the most dangerous and important. Morais boldly set up his station here - almost under the nose of the government.
Before arriving at the site, the car unexpectedly passed by a noble residential area. Verak sat in the car and looked at the luxurious buildings: "How is the Thomas family?"
"I had a very bad life. After I got out of that business, other companies took the opportunity to take away a lot of the market. Because of the poor financial management, some properties were sold off." Morais has always sent people to keep an eye on the Thomas family's mansion, so
It's pretty clear.
"I hope he lives well." Verak said.
"Huh?" Morais looked at Verak.
Verak looked at the house that was gradually moving away: "Live until the day when the new world that my son will fight for at the expense of his life comes."
"...That's fine." Morais sighed.
The car soon arrived at the core site of Morais, a casino.
From the outside, this place looks like a casino. There are a lot of people coming and going every day, and their movement is cleverly covered. The underground floor has almost completely become the office space of the Equality Association staff. They have specially opened it for safety.
A tunnel led to a hotel next to the casino.
The hotel is responsible for the accommodation and public support of the members.
"If you hadn't helped us get so much money, we wouldn't have been able to build such a large-scale, well-equipped organization headquarters." When showing Verak, Keating, Nord, Diaz, and Murphy around, Morais couldn't help but
Forgot to give the credit to Verak.
"The money was obtained through the cooperation of everyone. Only I can't play with it." Verak was not greedy for this. After going shopping with Morais, Morais arranged to stay in the hotel next door.
"The tourists on the third to sixth floors of this hotel are all our own, and the staff of the casino are also our own." After assigning the five people to five adjacent rooms on the sixth floor of the hotel, Morais warned,
"I will organize a meeting tonight to formally introduce you to everyone."
"Thank you for your hard work." Verak thanked him.
Morais smiled and said: "It's nothing. With your help, I think many of the next problems will not be so difficult. You can have a good rest first. I will handle the affairs and arrange for someone to take you to see the doctor."
Forest."
"I just need to wait in the room, right?"
"Yes, I will arrange for someone to call you. If nothing happens, I will go over first." Morais was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Verak stopped Morais and handed him the box containing half a million gold grams. "We need this very much."
Morais was curious about what was in Verak's box.
"Go back and open it again." Verak smiled slightly, "It can be considered a little compensation from me."
"So mysterious?" Morais suppressed his curiosity and returned to the casino through the tunnel with the box in hand.
Verak looked around the room where he was expected to live for a long time, put the gun on his waist in the drawer, and put "Equality" on the desk.
This is the only thing he carries with him.
"Well..." Verak lay on the bed and rested for a while, planning to go to the cemetery to see Colin before going to Keating and the others to discuss something.
"Dong dong dong." Not long after Verak lay down, the person responsible for taking him to the cemetery arrived.
Verak arranged his clothes, put the gun in his waist and went to open the door. Unexpectedly, the person standing at the door was Chris's former lover Elizabeth.
