Chapter 247: Focus on Higher and Farther

Verak and Keating looked at each other and smiled when they heard Boss Xin talking about Willow's ideals. This is the same thing that their Equality Society pursues. In other words, the Equality Society's grand ideals are exactly the ideas of countless civilians.

Made of ideals.

I want to live with dignity.

You want to have equal rights with dignitaries.

He wants not to be oppressed and exploited.

Hence the Equality Association.

"Let's not talk about him anymore, let's talk about the gold that you are most concerned about." Boss Xin went straight to the point. Seeing that Keating came back alive, he did not reveal the slightest bit of reluctance for the gold, and openly and freely discussed how to keep it secret and safe.

Delivered to Keating.

"Since we are all our own, it is not as complicated as imagined." Keating said immediately, "You have helped me run the tavern for so long. In my heart, the tavern has long been yours. Plus you protect the gold so much."

Jiu, he helped me a lot, and I can repay Quinn's Tavern at a high price in return."

"The gold matter is easy. As for the tavern, it is yours, so if you want to take it back, you don't need to pay us anything." Boss Xin refused to accept the money. Although he was not the real controller of Quinn's Tavern, he

Know that whether it is Wilson or Willow, they will make the same choice.

Verak came forward to help Keating persuade Mr. Xin: "One code equals one code. Even if we don't talk about the matter of Quinn's Tavern, you are still worth a sum of money just because you have protected the gold for Teacher Keating for so long."

"To say that is to look down on me. Wilson is here to repay his kindness, and I am here to help him fulfill his promise. We are not doing this for money." Boss Xin refused again.

"Then if you need any help, you can tell me and I will try my best to help you." Seeing that Boss Xin's expression did not look like a fake refusal, Keating stopped arguing with him.

"When do you want gold and taverns?" Boss Xin asked.

Keating considered that it would take a certain amount of time for Boss Xin and the others to move out, so he gave him three days.

After the gold and tavern matters were all discussed and negotiated, Boss Xin sent Verak, Sara, and Yves out on the grounds that he had a secret to tell to Keating alone.

"What's wrong?" Keating was puzzled.

"Who are they? Can they be trusted? If they are not reliable, I can get rid of them immediately and then arrange for my people to help you transport the gold." Boss Xin still doesn't know what Keating has gone through, and is worried about the huge amount of gold.

It will arouse the covetousness of others and bring death to Keating.

Understanding the reason why Boss Xin was talking to him alone, Keating smiled: "Don't worry, they are all trustworthy people and will not do anything extraordinary because of money."

"Then have you decided what to use the money for?" Boss Xin asked again.

"I joined an organization called the Equality Society. I wonder if you have heard of it." Keating said.

"The Equality Society..." Boss Xin thought it sounded familiar. He thought about it and finally remembered that he had seen it in the newspaper some time ago. "It was the chaotic party that turned the capital of the Bresci Republic upside down a while ago? They are

If you provoke the Bressey government, it will probably be eradicated soon, so you should stay in Dunman."

After all, the Equality Society's voice is not as loud as the Brexi government.

Although their heroic deeds and courage to fight spread throughout the world, they were unable to stop the Bresci government from demonizing them.

Let others think that they are reactionaries trying to subvert the regime and a chaotic party that undermines peace and stability.

"The truth of the matter is not as ugly as what the newspapers said." Keating was not angry because of other people's misunderstanding. He explained calmly, "The Equality Society is not a chaotic party, but a group of people who have the courage to declare war on injustice and fight for equality for the common people.

rights, equal respect, a group of young people who have sacrificed many lives in the resolute struggle against the government, but are still enthusiastic."

"Huh?" These words were very different from what Boss Xin knew.

"They have different origins, different genders, and different ages, but they all have the same ideal, which is to fight for a new world that is beautiful enough, peaceful, free, equal, and united for the people." When Keating mentioned the Equality Society, he had a thousand words.

Wanyu, "When I was in prison, it was

The ideas of the Equality Society changed me and many other inmates, which allowed us to unite as one and successfully escape from prison. The purpose of attacking the Bresi Government Building was not to subvert the regime, but to tell people all over the world that those who

The powerful people who oppress and exploit us are not invincible."

Boss Xin's breathing became heavier as Keating told him: "Verak, and the other two, are all members of this Equality Association?"

"Me too." Keating nodded.

"You want to give the gold to the Equality Society?"

"That's right. This gold is used to strengthen the Equality Society, which makes it possible for us to change the world. It is much more valuable than my own squandering." Keating did not hide anything.

Boss Xin began to think deeply.

After a long while, he said: "Then what do you think of Willow's ideals? Is his a bit similar to yours?"

"The Equality Association has gathered many people like Willow." Keating was surprised that Boss Xin had thought about it for a long time and came to consult Willow. "We know that we should build a hospital to treat the poor and a school for the poor.

The opportunities for learning are all right, but they are far from enough, so I put aside my small ideals for the time being and work together to build a new world, so that poor people all over the world have the opportunity to learn, and when they are sick, they will not be unable to get it because of the high price.

A great ideal effort for rescue.”

"I was just thinking about what Willow should do after the tavern is returned to you. I think it is too unrealistic for him to build a hospital or a school, but I will leave him to fight and kill in my Blood Knife Gang.

, and it will destroy him. After listening to you talk about this equality association, it feels a bit similar to what he is pursuing. If he joins, he will probably meet many like-minded people, rather than staying with a group of us who will only waste his life.

Much better." Boss Xin said slowly.

"You want Willow to join the Equality?"

"I feel that this may be a good choice. If you are willing to contribute such a large sum of gold, it should not be bad. And it is time to find a way out for Willow. I should also recommend it just like I did to Wilson.

Give Willow a hand and watch him do what he wants to do."

Boss Xin never got married and had children, and has always treated Willow as his own child.

After finding a better way, what he said before about letting Willow inherit the Blood Knife Gang and leading people to continue to defend their dignity after he can no longer fight will no longer count.

"If Willow is willing, I can make the decision to let him join the Equality Society." Keating also had deep feelings for the son of his best friend.

"It's because you are here that I feel safe to let him go over and try." Boss Xin's face became more serious when talking about Willow's safety, "I know it's dangerous for you to do this kind of thing, but you have to guarantee it no matter what.

His safety."

"Since you know this is dangerous, you shouldn't let Willow know about our existence." Keating could not make such a guarantee.

"He has his own path... and no one can be 100% sure of protecting his own life." Boss Xin did not press any further.

Keating looked at this middle-aged man, whose hair was as white as his own, and whose face was getting more and more wrinkles, gradually losing its former sharpness and vitality: "I will do my best to protect him."

"Well..." Boss Xin put his hands on his legs and stood up slowly, "Are you going to the tavern to meet Willow? I can't paraphrase what you just said."

"Not yet... just wait for me." Keating went out and entered his room next door. Not long after, he walked in again with some books, "Show these to him, and we will take over in three days."

I'll meet him again in the tavern to see if he wants to join us."

Boss Xin took the books and found that they were all handwritten versions of Dunman works: "On Equality, The Internationale, Women's Manifesto..."

"These are very important books in the Equality Society, but they haven't been officially published in Dunman language yet. I copied and translated a copy by myself before, just in time to show it to him." Keating had been there a long time ago.

After doing translation work, he knew that these things would spread all over the world sooner or later, and as a Dunman person, he had to translate the Dunman version as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll show it to him." Boss Xin put the book away, "Then we'll see you in three days."

"Well, I'll talk to you about other things then." Keating saw Boss Xin out of the hotel.

After watching Boss Xin return to Quinn's Tavern, Verak came to Keating's side: "Teacher."

"I told him some things about the Equality Society, and he wanted Willow to join us." Before Verak could ask, Keating took the initiative to tell the contents of their private conversation.

"Willow is a nice person." Verak had a good impression of Willow.

When they first met, Willow felt impatient with him, but still urged him to leave before Boss Xin killed him.

When they met for the second time, after he showed hostility, he was not as calm as Boss Xin, but he didn't panic either.

Coupled with the ideals that Boss Xin talked about about Willow, this made Verak very interested. He hoped that Willow would join them, and then one day in the future, they would build a new world of equality together.

"Well, I gave him my translations of Theory of Equality, The Internationale, and Women's Manifesto, and asked him to show them to Willow. If Willow is really interested, he will do it when we meet three days later, even if Xin doesn't persuade him.

You applied to join us yourself." Keating turned and returned to the room.

"Can he understand Bresci?"

"What I gave him was my own handwritten translation."

Verak was in a happy mood, laughed out loud and said in surprise: "When did you translate these?"

"I usually write when I have free time," Keating said.

"I don't know what you did without me knowing it." Verak's eyes were full of admiration.

In his mind, Keating is omnipotent and will always be prepared in advance for problems he will encounter in the future.

"Sarah, where's Yves?" Keating asked as he sat down.

"They have gone to relieve the troops deployed around them. They will probably come back soon." Verak took out the gun from his waist and unloaded the bullet.

"We can transport the gold from Quinn's Tavern in three days. We still need to check the transportation channels in the next few days to make sure there are no problems. In addition, the location on Mantelin Street is very good. I asked for Quinn's Tavern.

When I came back, I wanted to transform this place into the Dunman branch of the Equality Association." Keating took back his gun.

In fact, Verak guessed Keating's plan when he heard that he asked for Quinn's Tavern by the way: "This place is really good, and it is perfect as our branch station."

"The gold matter will be settled like this. What do you think about the matter over there?" The main task of this trip was successfully completed, and Keating was free to assist Verak in dealing with another matter.

Verak had a headache: "The exploitation of civilians in Dunmanli is an urgent matter that needs to be solved. It is the best thing that we can concentrate on dealing with it early. But I didn't expect that the gold matter would go so smoothly, and the Sea Rat Gang would not be used at all.

Background, do you think it is necessary for me to go back?"

"Didn't the Sea Rat Gang conspire with the Gold Flash Gang and the Black Street Gang to provoke a conflict between the civilians and the government in Old South York? They will definitely intervene next. Rather than giving up contact and letting them become an unknown unstable factor, it would be better

Go back and find out their details. But I think since the trouble on the gold side is gone, there is no need for you to pretend anymore." Keating analyzed the pros and cons and gave his own suggestions.

"You mean, I get to contact them again as an Equality Society?"

"That's right." Keating thought, "What they want is not to be expelled and not to be forced to sign a service letter. Our purpose is to get the Tunman government to cancel the implementation of the new conscription law and fire the first shot of the struggle here.

We can totally cooperate on this matter."

Verak thought of Monroe's words, and he felt a little conflicted: "Monroe, or people like them, fought against the government for their own interests. They never thought about true equality."

"We will wait until the Tun Man government repeals the new conscription law to resolve this issue."

"...Then do as you say. I will go back and talk to Monroe later." Verak was a little reluctant. From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to ask others to treat him equally like Monroe, but he never treated others equally.

people to work with.

Keating could see Verak's dissatisfaction: "You don't think we should cooperate with them?"

"A bit." Verak did not deny it.

Munro casually threw "Equality", "The Internationale", and "Manifesto of Femininity" on the table, and the scene of blatantly saying that these works were of no value is still vivid in his mind.

"We are different from them, but the conflict between us is far less serious than with the government and the oppressors." Keating gave Verak guidance, "Refuse to join forces with them, making the abolition of the new conscription law less certain.

Which one do you think is a better choice, or first working with them to win the government, and then trying to change their minds?”

"...the latter." Verak replied.

Keating still smiled kindly: "So sometimes we can't go too straight, we can't be too eager, we can't tolerate sand in our eyes, we have to focus on higher and farther, and be tolerant enough, so that we can reach the end point faster."
