To use a simple word to describe Thomas now, it would be "shivering".
But Thomas shrank his neck, resigned, and sat down. He understood everything Iger meant. He was very sure that this was the typical style of the Evans family.
Someone once described the Evans family, saying that they were made by beating wild wolves, foxes and scorpions into juice, adding stones, mixing it, and finally pouring it out.
For every Evans, as friendly as they are to their friends, they are as cruel as they are to their enemies.
Although Thomas is just a fringe person who has not really started to get involved, he knows a lot about the rumors about the Evans family.
In the New Holy City, the Evans family outnumbered the Blood Gang, the Crips Gang and the Amigo Gang, occupying nearly one-third of the underground space and half of the business in the New Holy City.
Don’t get me wrong, business is business, and it is completely legal. In the New Holy City, all kinds of reading materials have been completely legalized. This is a legitimate business, and there is even an official flagship store.
But if you want to maintain these businesses, you have to use some less than legitimate means.
The Evans family has strong cohesion and fighting capacity.
Although Americans like to shout "Black lives matter," in fact, black lives are not valuable at all. In America, the lives of all people of color, especially those at the poorest and lowest levels, are "really lowly."
That is to say, by relying on their lives, people of color have gradually occupied the bottom gangs in the entire United States, while the previous white godfathers have basically laundered their money or gone to other high-end businesses, such as the top of the supply chain.
However, the Evans family is an exception. They are the century-old brand that has been entrenched in the New Holy City.
Because the Evans family is so powerful, even the police are unwilling to offend these guys. Everyone knows that if there is a lunatic or a pervert, if you throw him in jail and lock him up until death, the matter will be over.
But for a gang, especially a deep-rooted gang, if you arrest a few people or dozens of people, it will have no impact at all.
The Evans family still accepts both black and white and takes both paths. Not only do they have congressmen who stand up for themselves, but almost every member of the Evans family is a member of the Rifle Association and is also a militia member.
Even when Black Lives Matter was making a big fuss and the streets were full of zero-yuan purchases, the Evans family's "militia" would take the initiative to take to the streets to maintain law and order.
Therefore, among the people, the reputation of the Evans family is actually quite good. Everyone thinks that they are a gang that respects rules.
But a truly upright citizen like Vance was very averse to the militia association becoming a gangster, so he was extremely disgusted with Egger at the beginning.
As the saying goes, there are things not to mess with. The judge directly declared that the Evans brothers participated in a fair duel. Anyway, as long as no one else was hurt, I really don't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
Thomas had no idea why there was Evans in a ravine like the Gospel Community, but he could swear to God that this dear little brother would never be trivial to mess with.
Every brother-in-law who grew up in a low-income neighborhood will definitely not survive to adulthood if he has no discernment.
Thomas didn't dare to test Egger, he was afraid that he would die if he tried.
In fact, Iger didn't need to say more. Thomas also knew that what he did today would cause big problems. In the original team, Thomas often had conflicts with other people.
This dear brother Egger is right. It is extremely kind to leave such a big bun for yourself.
One advantage of Thomas is that he knows what he can take and what he cannot move. After he understood the current situation, he willingly started chewing the hard buns.
While Iger was "educating" Thomas, Joanna and Phoebe were enjoying dinner peacefully.
Phoebe watched as Egg subdued Thomas in just a few clicks. This kid was really getting more and more interesting.
Iger's "education" to Thomas can be described as extremely rough. They said that hitting someone is not a slap in the face, and he went out of his way to slap Thomas in the face.
During the afternoon break, Egger had learned a lot of information about Thomas while chatting with Phoebe.
Let's put it this way, if the Love and Family team had a vote to decide whether a member should die, Thomas would probably get the unanimous vote.
In the morning, if the furious Iger had thrown the drugged Thomas out of the pickup truck, Phoebe, his companion, would not have blinked an eye.
And just now, Iger deliberately treated Thomas in an extremely humiliating way, just to see if Thomas still had any remaining self-respect and blood.
What makes Iger very disappointed is that Thomas, whose body and mind have been damaged by drug abuse, has long lost the spirit of a young man. In other words, Thomas is a complete waste.
Looking at Thomas who was chewing the steamed bun honestly, Egg shook his head.
Before dinner, Iger had already thought of various tricks and ways to deal with Thomas.
If Thomas got angry just now and pounced on Iger who was holding a gun, Iger would naturally not be able to shoot directly.
The pistol was not loaded, and the safety was not turned on. Egger's drawing of the gun was just an action. No one in America has ever been pointed at a gun.
Iger has learned that although Thomas looks taller than him, he is actually a "hollow" guy.
With just his fists and kicks, Iger could easily and firmly beat him until he clearly realized his mistake and promised to change his past.
In this case, Thomas would definitely add a piece of barbecue and a bowl of broth to his dinner. Iger felt that only people who care about their own dignity have the motivation to work hard.
There is a saying: A warrior can die heroically for the sake of dignity, but a true warrior can live humbly for a great cause.
But there are not so many true warriors in life. After losing their dignity, more people become humbler than humble, and even humbler after losing their dignity.
Not to mention the distance, there are currently hundreds of millions of "untouchables" in Asan's family. They are so humble that they cannot even touch the shadows of others or the shadows of others.
Of course, this does not mean that these people have no chance of transformation, but Iger does not have the patience, energy and time.
Iger also considered what to do if Thomas didn't dare to resist on the surface, but secretly held a grudge and wanted to wait until night to cause trouble.
Iger's countermeasure is very simple. Thomas dares to have such an idea. During dinner, he can't hide his micro-expressions and subtle movements. And don't forget that there is a psychological expert Phoebe at the dinner table.
Iger had already discussed with Joanna and Phoebe how to deal with Thomas, lest someone come out to defend Thomas when he makes trouble for Thomas, which would be difficult.
At the same time, Egg also gave Phoebe a task to observe Thomas, and Phoebe readily accepted it.
Once Phoebe warns Iger, after dinner, Iger will take the two girls to evacuate to another safe spot for the night, leaving Thomas alone here and picking him up tomorrow morning.
Egger has rich experience in fighting "tricksters", but he really doesn't have many ways to deal with dead dogs like Thomas.
Waste is waste. There is a saying in the Central Plains called waste utilization. As long as you are alive, you can always squeeze out some residual value.
