Chapter 204: Realize the life promised to me in others
Verak suddenly felt ashamed.
He found that after he had made some 'achievements' recently, he became a little self-righteous. It was obviously someone else's life choice, but he insisted on taking it upon himself, pretending to be good for others, but in fact it was more for his own sake.
Name, everything is arranged without explanation.
But everyone is free and has the right to make their own choices.
Putting other people's affairs on your own shoulders is, to put it bluntly, restricting the freedom of others. We are all adults with the ability to judge and take responsibility, so why can we take all the responsibilities on ourselves in a righteous and upright manner?
Why can you think that others making the same choice as you don't really think about it?
"...Okay." Verak accepted the method proposed by the three of them, and they fought for it internally. "I will only say the last sentence. I respect the choice of each of you. I should not block or obliterate what you should be emitting.
Guanghui, but I also don’t want to see you acting emotionally and making immature decisions.”
"No, don't worry." Nord vowed confidently.
Diaz and Murphy said together: "Understood."
"Then I'll leave this matter to you to decide." Verak breathed a sigh of relief. His knot was untied and he had a new perspective on some things. "If you change your mind at any time, come to me at any time. I won't force you to go."
adventure."
"It's too late to snatch such a good performance opportunity, how can we give it away? If we give it to someone else, we will have lived so many years in vain." Nord was very positive about this matter, "Seriously, Verak, you just
Don't worry about it. You and Mr. Keating make a plan, and we'll execute it when the time comes."
Verak stared at Nord for a long time, and finally showed a helpless smile.
Some time ago, he always felt that Nord had not really experienced things and had not grown up in a strict sense. But now he discovered that Nord actually understood everything.
When Fletcher, the butler of the Thomas family, threatened him and Demps, he understood the possible consequences of refusing, but he still refused.
After escaping to Monrego, he knew it would be dangerous to come back, but he still came back to find Verak without hesitation.
Now, he is also aware of the dangers he will face if he becomes a person exposed under the eyes of the government. But as always, he chooses to strive to be this person.
He knows everything.
"Let's all go back." Verak's smile gradually faded, and he asked the three of them to go back to their respective rooms. "I allow you to have a good rest for a few days... cherish this peace that may not be available again for a long time."
"Let's go." Nord drank all the hot water.
Diaz and Murphy did so.
Then the three of them went out.
"There is your shadow on them." Keating said, watching quietly.
"It's not my shadow, it's the light of the new world that also shines on them." Verak lowered his head to collect the cup, "Maybe when he saw that beam of light, he knew what he should live for in this life.
.”
Keating sighed: "This is the power of the new world."
"Because we all want to live in the right world." After finishing packing, Verak closed his eyes and breathed calmly.
"Now that the biggest problem has been solved, it's time for us to go all out to formulate detailed plans."
"Yes." Verak nodded slightly, "They have made their choice, and I will do my best to ensure their safety."

Government Building Security Department Intelligence Bureau Interrogation Room
The two hours given by Rock Shriver had expired, and Dawn, who was locked in a separate interrogation room, still had no idea of the next step.
Verak helped him so much, how could he expose the secret.
What's more, Ross, who was timid in prison and had never been very tough, could withstand torture for so long for the sake of secrets. He confessed so quickly that he was not worthy of being called a man.
He still remembered that he and Verak had talked before they parted about their plans after leaving.
What Verak said moved him extremely.
——What I go out to do is to ensure that you can live the life you long for.
If he was alone like Rose, it would be worth everything if he could meet Verak in prison, work with him on the escape, and have even just a month of freedom.
In order to keep his secret and to allow Verak to achieve his grand goal, he was willing to sacrifice his life.
But reality is not that simple.
His wife and daughter were also here. He could risk his own life, but he couldn't bear to watch them die together.
He had been imprisoned for so long and had not shared anything with his wife who was struggling to raise their daughter. He felt extremely guilty. If they were to die here because of his own choices, he would be even more unworthy of being a husband and a father.
"How do you think about it?" Rock Shriver came to the door of the interrogation room on time.
"Give me some more time." Dawn didn't want to face this choice.
Rock Shriver suddenly became impatient and deliberately frightened Dawn: "A secret is more important, or is your wife and daughter more important? You sacrificed yourself for a secret that we can't tell when we can find out from other places."
Is your own family worth it?"
Dawn didn't know.
"Have you ever thought about it, if your family dies because of your insistence on not speaking out today, and tomorrow we immediately find out the results from another person, will you die unjustly or not?" Rock Shriver said to Dawn.
Pointing out the pros and cons, "Are the lives of your family worth the day we knew the secret?"
"Give me some more time...I really don't know how to choose..." Dawn gritted her teeth.
"Don't know how to choose?" Rock Shriver laughed. He patted the subordinate next to him and pointed at Dawn, who seemed to have turned into a joke. "You don't know how to choose? You can either die in vain, or you can take a sum of money and be fair.
Do we still need to choose to live a peaceful life? Everyone knows that there is only one way, right?"
Dawn has never felt this kind of entanglement and suffering in her life: "I..."
"Do you think Chris cares about your life or death?" Rock Shriver tried to break down Dawn's psychological defense step by step. "He just used you in prison. He just wanted to escape. You are actually nothing. His
The father is the famous Thomas Carmine. Even if he is caught, with the power of his family, he will not die. But what about you? In the end, regardless of success or failure, everyone will be completely unscathed, while most of you will lose everything.
.”
This is ridiculous.
Verak once told Dawn his true identity frankly, that he was just an ordinary person in the slums.
Even if he is a noble son of the Thomas family, it turns out that it is of no use. He should be tortured and tortured, but he will still be tortured into a different state.
"You are different, stop fantasizing about how valuable your life is." Rock Shriver said with a dry mouth. He was extremely disgusted with everyone who had dealt with 'Chris', "Your greatest value is,
Just to protect the safety of your family, they are the ones worth your efforts."
"Why do you force me to be an ordinary person..." Dawn said, "You have already said that I am nothing in Chris's eyes, so do you think someone like me will know any of his secrets?"
"You should know something."
"I know he is Chris. His family is very rich and he is the leader of an organization that is against the government. You will know this. It is completely unnecessary for you to ask me."
Rock Shriver's face was terrifyingly gloomy: "Why bother pretending to be stupid? If there really is no secret, what is Ross hiding in his mouth?"
"How do I know that in his mouth-"
"You're closer to Chris! If he knows it, you'll know it too!" Rock Shriver yelled, "Say it!"
"Give me more-"
"Go! Bring me his wife and daughter!" Rock Shriver interrupted Dawn again.
He is the person who has seen through 'Chris'.
If you put your interests in front of them, they will just pretend to be wrong. If you want them to face reality and make them compromise, it's better to be direct!
Rock Shriver knew that Dawn cared deeply about her family, so he was bound to win!
Today he will press harder and harder, leaving Dawn breathless and revealing all his secrets!
"Don't touch them!" Dawn was anxious, "I beg you, give me some more time! I will definitely give you the answer!"
"Say it now, there is still room for anything." Rock Shriver did not give in.
"I beg you, don't touch them, don't touch them..." The softest part of Dawn's heart was stabbed, his eyes turned red, and he could no longer remain calm in front of Rock Shriver, so he begged.
The more Dawn behaves like this, the more Rock Shriver feels that hope is right in front of him.
He wanted to expand his advantage, pursue the victory, and completely defeat Dao En's defense line.
"explain!"
"I..." Dawn was in extreme pain. On one side was Verak, who had given him a second life and had lofty ideals, and on the other side was his family that he had been ashamed of for many years.
Whichever side he betrays will cause him great pain.
Just when Dawn was pushed to the point of collapse, his wife and daughter were pulled and dragged over by the soldiers.
The wife, with her hair disheveled and extremely panicked, was still comforting her daughter who was crying out of fear.
Rock Shriver never entered the interrogation room. He just looked at Dawn through the fence: "You are here, why don't you say yes?"
Dawn's bloodshot eyes widened, veins surged on his forehead, and he struggled wildly, trying to break free of the chains that bound him.
"Come on, child." Rock Shriver knelt down and took the frightened and crying girl from the soldier's hands. "Please advise your father, otherwise your whole family will die miserably."
"Don't touch her!!" Dawn pulled the chain with all her strength, trying to get even one centimeter closer to her daughter. "If you dare to touch her, I will kill you!!"
"Don't be afraid, look at your father." Rock Shriver stood up and squeezed the girl's shoulders with both hands, so that she could only cry and look at her father, "You definitely don't want your father to die, right? Then think about it
Try to persuade him to say everything he needs to say."
"Let her go!" Dawn's wife bit off the soldier's hand and rushed towards Rock Shriver.
Rock Shriver glanced contemptuously, and knocked him down with an elbow.
"Edith!" Dawn roared. The fence in front of him gave him a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Trash." Rock Shriver watched as several soldiers regained control of Dawn's wife, and then looked at Dawn expressionlessly, "My patience has been completely exhausted by you. I'll give you one last chance, and say
, or I kill your wife and daughter in front of you."
"Daddy..." the girl called Dawn.
Dawn's vision was blurred by tears.
He naively thought that after escaping from prison, he would have a better life.
"Give me the knife." Rock Shriver asked his subordinate for a short knife. He held the girl tightly with one hand and played with the knife with the other hand. "What secret does Chris have?"
Dawn, who was in agony, suddenly calmed down.
Rock Shriver accurately captured Dawn's changes, and the confidence in her eyes became much fuller. In his opinion, Dawn recognized reality and was completely controlled by him.
"Is Ross still alive?"
"Huh?" Rock Shriver wondered why Dawn mentioned Ross inexplicably, "What?"
Dawn's eyes were dim and dull, and his whole person became much more depressed in an instant: "Is he still alive?"
"Still alive," Rock Shriver replied.
He initially planned to kill Rose in front of Dawn, but during the execution, Dawn intervened and Rose's death was put on hold for two hours.
"Take me to him."
"Why do you want to see him?"
"I want to tell everything in front of him." Dawn said coldly, "It was him who brought me to where I am today. He could have told me earlier."
Rock Shriver weighed it briefly and agreed to Dawn's request.
Ross and Dawn may have secrets that they don't know about each other. When Dawn tells them, Ross's defenses will collapse, and he may get unexpected gains.
"Bring Ross here." Rock Shriver ordered.
Several subordinates immediately went to another interrogation room to escort Ross over.
"Let them avoid it first." Dawn looked at her daughter and injured wife reluctantly, "You scared my daughter."
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to be like this either." Rockschriver apologized in a nonchalant manner and ordered the soldiers to take Dawn's wife and daughter away.
Soon, Ross was escorted over and was pushed against the fence by Rock Shriver's subordinates. He looked at Dawn with disbelief and disappointment: "You..."
"Say it, Dawn." Rock Shriver raised his chin.
"Huh..." Dawn breathed out and calmed down again, "I...never like to escape."
Ross's arms were grabbed, and he could only hit his head on the fence, crying and struggling: "Dawn! Don't say it!"
"But today, I have to escape." Dawn's face was pale and decisive, "Ross, listen to me."
"Don't let me look down on you!" Ross didn't want his efforts to be in vain.
"If one day you can live to see him..." Dawn gave up her struggle and looked at Ross calmly, "Remember to tell him that you must realize the life you promised me in others."
Ross thought Dawn was going to tell Verak's secret, but she didn't expect that he said something that he couldn't understand at the moment.
Rock Shriver's reaction was very quick. He realized something and quickly urged his men: "Open the door! Open the door!"
"Keep it up, Ross." Dawn showed a sad smile and finally encouraged Ross.
"Open the fucking door!" Rock Shriver pushed his subordinate, who endured his confusion and hurriedly opened the door.
Dawn pursed her lips and turned red.
Before Rock Shriver and the others could rush over, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
