People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 252 Our Future

The office fell into a long silence as Candela finished speaking.

My cast iron throat felt dry and I didn't know what to say.

She understood Candela's emotions at the moment, but that didn't mean she could accept it.

She didn't have to think too much about the chaos in Dosores because she was not from Dosores, and because Qi Yan was her companion.

But Candela, despite being in the midst of chaos, maintained clear and independent thinking, stepped out of the battle, and analyzed the impact of Qi Yan's actions from the perspective of an observer.

This kind of person is either a genius with incredible intelligence or a lunatic on the verge of insanity.

Zhutie turned her head to look at Susulo and Ayafara behind her. The latter two also looked solemn, but did not say anything. They just gave her a firm look.

Cast Iron took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again after a moment, his gaze had become firm.

"Mayor Candela, I'm just an ordinary person. I can't keep up with your advanced thinking. I'm sorry."

Zhutie bowed slightly, and then continued: "But I must state one thing, Qi Yan's current actions are inconsistent with Rhodes Island's philosophy. We are willing to bear the consequences of Qi Yan's actions because he is our companion.

But we do not approve of Qi Yan's behavior, so we will not accept your goodwill towards Rhodes Island because of Qi Yan's action."

"Hmm?" Candela showed a surprised look for the first time. "Rhodes Island is the organization that values ​​its companions the most that I have ever seen. But why do you have to make such clear distinctions in this regard?"

"The two are not in conflict."

Cast Iron said seriously: "Protecting our companions is the most resolute will of our Rhodes Island operators, and everyone is ready to give everything for their companions at any time.

But we also respect the decision of every companion. Rhodes Island is not a one-man show. Rhodes Island allows every operator to think freely and equally, make their own decisions, and be responsible for their own decisions, including Qi Yan and the Doctor. They are not special.

We often disagree, and it is not uncommon for us to have arguments at meetings, because Rhode Island is a community, a community of living people.”

Candela was silent for a long time.

After a long while, she finally let out a long breath.

"I think I understand. I didn't really understand it until this moment." Candela said slowly, "Rhodes Island is such a fascinating place."

Candela didn't know what she was thinking about, and her expression suddenly softened.

If her attitude towards the Cast Iron Trio was gentle and even respectful before, it was based on the values ​​demonstrated by Rhodes Island and was an attitude towards partners.

At this point, she had become as close to the three cast iron men as friends.

This is a recognition.

"Please sit down. We don't need to stand and talk all the time. Are you not used to drinking red wine?"

Candela asked the three to sit down and said with a smile: "Although it's very chaotic outside, it hasn't affected me too much here. I can provide you with anything you want to drink."

"...No need."

Zhutie took Susu Luo and the other two to sit down, but rejected Candela's suggestion.

Candela did not force it, she took out her wine glass again, poured red wine, and said in a relaxed tone:

“My father is the former mayor of this city. To be honest, he is a loser who was supported by the Leitanian government and can do nothing but corruption.

Later, angry citizens kicked open the office door, and he had to leave with my mother and me in embarrassment. Thanks to him, I followed my father to Casimir first and then to Victoria.

I learned how to use money and what it meant to me from him, and then I came back here and became the new mayor.”

Zhutie stared at Candela silently, not understanding why she suddenly started chatting about family matters at this time.

Facing Zhutie's doubtful gaze, Candela chuckled and said:

“Don’t be nervous. I know you three have the ability to protect yourselves, but wandering outside will inevitably bring the risk of injury. This city hall is the safest place. Even if the rebels gather all the power of the powerful, they can’t easily break through here.

We can chat here slowly, and then wait for Qi Yan and your doctor to have a good time, and wait for the final judgment of Dosores. "

Seeing that Cast Iron fell silent again, Candela continued to babble on:

“In fact, there has never been a lack of rebels like old Pancho in Bolivar’s land. They have always tried to drive out the forces of Letania and Colombia and make Bolivar truly independent.

Unfortunately, they are just blindly pursuing the image of a country. They just want a country called Bolivar.

They don't understand what true independence is. With such a mentality, even if they win the war, they will only push Bolivar into a more tragic abyss.

Bolivar needs a true master, a martyr with a firm goal, who sees the true nature of this land and sticks to his ideals. "

Cast Iron finally caught up with Candela's train of thought and said in a daze:

"So you are expecting that in this turmoil caused by Qi Yan, someone will awaken the will to resist, rather than expecting to overthrow the colonization on Bolivarian land through this turmoil."

"Yes, with the power Qi Yan displayed, it would be easy for him to wipe out the invaders in this land, but that would be useless."

Candela looked out the window at the chaotic city and whispered, "Violence is a necessary means. Any resistance must ensure that it has sufficient strength, but violence is never a means of victory, because violence cannot destroy a person's spiritual will.

I am looking forward to it, I really am looking forward to it, to someone standing up so that all Bolivarians can see ... our future.”

……

……

"Boss, my legs are sore."

Qi Yan was lying on a beach chair, wearing sunglasses, leisurely enjoying the sunbath in Dosores.

On the deck, a group of dignitaries, including his new boss, stood obediently by his side. Some held various drinks, while others held fruits and snacks.

There were also people standing by at all times, following Qi Yan's temporary command.

At this moment, Qi Yan's new boss trotted over and massaged Qi Yan's legs as soon as Qi Yan spoke.

Qi Yan narrowed his eyes comfortably under his sunglasses and patted his boss's horns:

"Your technique is great. As a reward, I'll give you a 10% salary increase."

"I...I thank you!"

"You're welcome. We're just friends."

Qi Yan stretched lazily, gently lowered his sunglasses, and looked towards the shore of the artificial sea with his golden pupils.

There, the figures of the doctor and others had disappeared.

But Qi Yan knew that the hooded man must be secretly thinking about how to attack him.

The only card that the doctor currently has that can threaten himself is a pink rat.

"Come here, arrange for people to guard the area around the ship. If you see a pink Zalak, notify me immediately."

Qi Yan thought for a moment and added: "Remember, notify me immediately and don't act on your own, unless you don't want to live like me."
