Chapter 2536 Crying Bitterly
If you want your family to survive, the first thing you need is talent.
Although John Davis's family has many children, there are no outstanding talents, and most of them are just average.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Airui City does not value foreigners. I mean foreigners who look like middle-aged people.
Air City needs talents, but it only needs talents outside the political and economic departments, which is what we call partial talents.
This kind of talent will not shake the foundation of Airei City.
John Davis' family has trained their children since they were young to want them to climb to the core of power in Airey City. Even if they don't enter, they must at least linger on the edge. As long as they don't stray too far from that category, there will always be opportunities. Entering the court - this was John Davis's idea, or rather, it was his wishful thinking.
However, the objective facts will not develop according to his imagination. The Carter family will not assign core power to outsiders, even in small details!
"Davis, have you ever thought about why the former head of the Carter family appointed you to work under Master Dewey instead of staying in Airei City?" I shattered his illusion mercilessly: "That's because you are not trusted!"
"Just imagine, how can a foreigner who is not trusted get involved in a power structure? Let alone one of the core institutions." I sighed with regret and continued: "There is no doubt that you are a talent, and you are someone who never takes the ordinary path. A business genius, with your talents, you are more than enough to serve as a high-ranking official in the economic department of Airei City. However, are you included in the transfer list drawn up by the Carter family? When have they ever reused you?"
"No." I shook my head and replied for John Davis, who turned pale: "Never. Why is that? Have you ever thought about the reason?"
Staring into John Davis's eyes, I repeated, "Have you ever wondered why?"
John Davis did not speak, but his face became paler and his old body was crumbling.
"No, right?" I sneered and said, "In other words, you simply don't believe that all this will happen to you."
Taking a deep breath, I stood up and said as I walked: "In other words, you are rejecting this possibility. You don't think it will come true. You think that as long as you are alive, as long as you hold that share in your hand, With the chips, everything will go well for the future of the family and it will develop in the direction you expect. Haha, Davis, you are so conceited and idealistic."
Stopping, I stared at him with a half-smile and said, "Do you really think you can control the Carter family with your little tricks? You think too highly of yourself, and you underestimate the Carter family too much. This family at least has With a history of thousands of years, every family that has been able to stand for thousands of years has a profound background. They may choose to compromise temporarily in order to build momentum, but what will follow will be fierce revenge like a violent storm. "
"Your plan may bring the Carter family into ruin for a while, but the Carter family can make you and your family completely disappear from the Zephyr Continent."
Taking a deep breath, I said slowly: "Having lived in Airy City for so long, you will not know the situation of the descendants of the legendary heroes who once conquered the world with Carter Adams. All of them are almost marginalized. Running around for a living every day, half-dead from exhaustion just to make ends meet, and risking their lives just to keep their family fed and clothed. Their ancestors were all responsible for building Airui City, but their descendants are still alive one by one. Like a dog, Davis, do you think that with your contribution to Airey City, you are qualified to be on an equal footing with them?"
Looking at the increasingly desperate expression of John Davis, I snorted and continued: "The reason why Carter Horton and his father will reward your family so much is simply because you are still useful and can still... You have contributed to the construction of Airui City and the ambitions of the Carter family. Now that you are behind bars, I believe it will not be long before the envoy here returns to the country and your family over there will suffer an unprecedented disaster."
"Let me out! Let me out-!"
John Davis suddenly became manic. He shook the iron railing desperately, trying to break it. However, he was not good at learning and weak in strength. Wanting to shake the iron railing made of high-quality stainless steel was simply a wishful thinking.
In fact, it would take a lot of energy to break the iron railings without condensing the power of transformation, not just him, but me.
"Save your efforts. Every metal fence here is made of high-grade stainless steel. As long as you are not an adventurer above level 10, if you want to use weapons to break open the prison, you will have to work at least a few hours, swinging like you. Yes, even if the handle is worn out, it won’t be damaged at all.”
I gave my advice well-intentioned, but John Davis didn't listen at all. He kept shaking with all his strength, as if he was electrocuted.
I asked the waiter to bring him a cup of coffee, and sat a little further away, sipping the coffee and watching him go crazy.
Continuous interrogations, plus the need to endure multiple times of mental pressure, had already drained the old man's body and spirit. He only went crazy for more than ten minutes and fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Sweat soaked his clothes, and tears kept flowing. John Davis cried. He cried very sadly, like a child who has lost his beloved toy.
I felt a little uncomfortable, so I stood up and tried to leave, but I was stopped.
"Please, Lord Elder, I beg you, show mercy and save my family."
John Davis cried bitterly and could not say anything: "My family, they are all innocent, they cannot be allowed to suffer because of me, please, please, as long as you help me this time, I will Even if you act like a donkey or a horse, I will definitely repay you."
Looking at the weeping old man, I felt very sad. I wiped the corners of my eyes, took a breath, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, the blame lies with you, and your family is innocent."
John Davis's eyes gradually glowed with hope.
"But the most I can do is use diplomatic means to try to bring your family here, but please don't have too much hope, because you and your family are both legal citizens of Airei City, and your family has also been arrested. The high-level officials of Airicheng have ordered a ban. To lift the ban and handle identity matching in a reasonable and legal manner, it may require a set of procedures, and it will take a long time. I hope you can repent of yourself while waiting patiently, and change your mind from now on. Be a good person."
After saying this, I turned and left.
After leaving the prison, the warden asked cautiously: "Sir Elder, are you really going to plead for him?"
