Chapter 725 Lance is your father and your job is settled
The blond young man tilted his head slightly, and there was no fear in his eyes.

He looked at Christopher, “Lance is your dad.”

“Pfft…”

Christopher turned around suddenly and looked at the man who was laughing. The guy’s expression changed immediately, and he stopped smiling. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Christopher.

“Is it funny?” Christopher asked. “Tell me, is it funny?”

He walked towards the man, and the guy knew something was wrong, so he quickly obeyed Christopher’s answer, “No, it’s not funny.”

Christopher walked up to him and said, “It’s not funny. What were you laughing at?”

He is very sensitive in this regard. He has been very sensitive about his identity and status since he was a child. Even now that he has returned to the island, he is still as sensitive.

The more you lack something, the more you care about it.

When he was in the Federation, he began to emphasize his identity as the “legitimate heir” in those rumors because he was afraid of losing it.

The man hesitated, not knowing what to say, and finally lowered his head, “I’m sorry, Dover.”

Christopher’s gaze was like a knife stabbing into the man. He suddenly threw an upper punch at the guy’s abdomen. The instantaneous attack caused the man’s abdominal muscles to cramp, and he curled up on the ground, holding his stomach.

He twisted his neck and turned back to the blond young man, “Are you not afraid of death?”

The blond young man had a defiant look on his face, “When I came here, I didn’t think I could go back alive.”

“Lance will avenge us. I am just a small character, and you…” He looked Christopher up and down, “I exchanged my life for yours, and I won!”

Christopher raised the pistol in his hand and pulled the trigger at the blond boy’s head. Click, the gun jammed.

He was paying attention to the blond young man’s condition the whole time. When he pulled the trigger, he could clearly feel that the guy closed his eyes.

But he opened his eyes again soon, still staring at her fiercely as before.

He pulled the trigger twice more, and it really jammed.

“Fuck!” He took a step back, put down his raised hand, pressed the slide with his other hand and pushed it hard twice, and a bullet was ejected from the ejector.

He reloaded the gun and put it against the blond young man’s head. The latter also took a deep breath, holding it in his chest, then looked at him with an indescribable weird smile.

In his life, Christopher had never seen many people who were not afraid of death, so he could not understand this mental state.

After the two looked at each other for a long time, his thoughts changed a little, “Lock them up.”

His own men didn’t understand why they suddenly fell silent, but Christopher was the boss here and they had to listen to him.

The two young men were soon taken to the basement, where there were several iron cages used to imprison people.

They were so integrated into the entire building that it was difficult to blend in, and it was almost impossible for anyone to escape unarmed.

After watching the two people being sent to the basement, Christopher walked to the sofa, picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.

In fact, he has always been paying attention to the news from Jingang City. After all, Sumuli Island… for the four major families here, they may think that this place is a paradise.

But for a young man who is used to life in the Federation and was born in the Federation, this place is as boring as Xilin District.

He wants to go back to the Federation!

So he has been paying attention to the changes in Jingang City. He knows that the five major families have become a thing of the past, that the Bay Area has been conquered, and that Lance has become the ruler of the underground world of Jingang City. He knows a lot!
He also heard that Lance actually had connections with Congress and was becoming increasingly powerful.

If he killed these two young men now, it would mean that his way back would be blocked.

It was impossible for him to stay on Sumuli Island for the rest of his life. As a “son-in-law”, he didn’t like anything here, and he especially disliked the lack of freedom here.

He wants to go back to the Federation, and this place is just a stepping stone for him to get back into the Federation.

After he sat and poured himself two or three drinks, he managed to get Lance’s phone number through some connections in Jingang City.

Under the influence of alcohol, he returned to his study and dialed Lance’s number.

The beep…beep…sound seemed to make his heartbeat slightly faster. There were many voices in his head, telling him what to do next.

The more these voices there were, the more confused his mind became.

I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly the call was connected.

“This is Lance.”

“Lance…”

Christopher’s voice was still relatively unfamiliar to Lance. They had not had much contact with each other, and they had not talked much.

“Yes, it’s me. Who are you?”

He propped the receiver against his shoulder, took a cigarette out of the case, tilted his head, and lit it with a desktop lighter.

“hiss……”

“call……”

“If this is a prank call, then I’m going to hang up on it.”

“If it’s not a prank call, you better say something.”

Christopher pursed his lips, “It’s me, Christopher.”

Lance hadn’t expected Christopher to call him, it was totally unexpected for him, and after two or three seconds he asked, “What did you want to say?”

Christopher’s confused thoughts began to become a little more orderly. “Your people are in my hands. I can kill them or let them go.”

“Listen, Lance, I don’t have any direct conflict with you.”

“When Paul asked me to give you the bar, you did so.”

“You and I don’t have to be enemies, and this is an internal matter of the Pasletto family, isn’t it?”

“Don’t interfere in what’s going on between me and Francisco, I’ll send your people back!”

He waited for a while after he finished speaking, and when he didn’t hear Lance’s response, he added, “I’m done, think about it.”

“No need to think!” Lance gave him the answer directly, “Let them bring back the bodies of Alberto and Fortis. I can make the decision and let you go once, but only once!”

Francisco couldn’t help laughing, “Are you crazy or am I crazy?”

“This world is so damn interesting, this is Sumurri Island!”

“It’s not Jingang City, it’s not the Federation, why are you letting me go this time?”

“I hate people like you the most, you know that?”

“You, and Paul, you are all this kind of people, you like to talk to others in that annoying tone, who the hell are you?”

“You’ll let me go?”

“Lance, you’re not as amazing as you think you are, you know that?”

“I will kill your men and throw the bodies of Alberto and Fortis into the sewer. If you have the guts, come to Sumu and show me how you can let me go this time!”

He slammed the phone down. Lance’s condescending tone reminded him of Paul and brought up many bad memories of his past.

He poured himself another large glass of wine and beckoned to one of his men, who came over to the sofa. “Dover?”

“Take out the two guys in the basement and throw them onto the dock!”

The men nodded and left.

Christopher sat on the sofa and sulked. Everyone looked down on him. Damn it!
He tilted his head back, drank the wine in the glass, and smashed it heavily to the ground. Let’s try it!
Let’s see who has the last laugh.

Lance also put down the phone. He was smoking a cigarette, and he knew in his heart that the situation of those two people might not be very good.

When selecting the candidates to go to Sumuli, Erwin followed Lance’s decision and did not raise money, but let people sign up themselves.

For such an operation that obviously involves huge risks, no one would be forced to go. Lance let them decide for themselves who would go.

Those who go are captains when they come back, regardless of whether they can complete their work.

What they risked their lives for is definitely not a “well done”, but tangible benefits. This time, they may have lost the gamble.

He made a phone call to Erwin, “Go to the two guys in Sumuli and give their families double the pension and compensation.”

Erwin reacted, “They failed?”

“Well, if you get caught, there’s a high probability that you won’t be able to come back, so give me the money first.”

Erwin sighed, “They are all good guys…” He didn’t know why, but now that his status was getting higher and higher and he was getting richer, he was actually becoming more and more compassionate.

If it were in the past, he would only feel that the two people were worthy of being members of the Lance family and had lost everyone’s face wherever they went.

But now, he actually hopes that the two of them can survive.

“I understand. I will go there and deal with this matter myself tomorrow morning.”

He hesitated for a moment, “This matter…”

Lance knew what he wanted to ask, “Don’t worry, let’s solve the problems in front of us first. Su Muli is there, he can’t escape.”

Erwin said, “Hmm,” “As long as you have a plan.”

The next day, a day off, Chief Dale was shopping with his family.

Ever since he chose to follow his heart, his life has become more leisurely. Especially recently, when he heard that Lance had obtained the franchise and could brew wine openly, he had a new understanding of Lance’s power in Golden State.

When he was in Golden State, he understood a truth: no matter how well a person does, how many good things he does, or how many people he helps, as long as Congress thinks he is evil, then he must be evil.

The same is true in reverse. Even if a person does all bad things and cannot be any worse, as long as Congress thinks he is useful and valuable, then he is a good person and a law-abiding citizen.

The closer I get to Congress, the more I can feel my outlook on life, values, and world view collapsing.

The education and information that people receive from childhood to adulthood are completely different from those of the ruling class.
In the past, he might have had some other thoughts in his dreams, but now, he doesn’t think about anything.

Isn’t it good to enjoy life?
Look, after letting go of my ambition for career, I now earn much more than before!

He stood beside a TV, a little dazed. He turned to look at the salesman who was trying to sell the TV to his family, “Put it on the bill.”

The salesman was stunned for a moment, “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you clearly, what did you say, sir?”

“I say!” Chief Dell patted the TV next to him with his hand, “Add it to our shopping list, we bought it.”

“But you have to send me a new one!”

The salesman’s expression turned into surprise, Director Dell’s children also showed a look of delight, and his wife looked at him with a smile.

One thousand three hundred and ninety-nine dollars is equal to one thousand four hundred dollars.

If a worker can save twenty dollars a month, it will take him about seventy months, or nearly six years, to be able to afford this TV.

But for him, he doesn’t even care much about this level of consumption.

The salesperson nodded and bowed quickly and wrote the TV down on the shopping list. Enjoying the envious looks from those people, Director Dell’s mood became better.

“It’s going to be warm soon, and I thought we’d have time to go on a picnic and go fishing.”

He looked at the salesperson, “Show me a boat that would be suitable for our family, preferably with a vehicle that can tow that boat, as well as some camping supplies.”

The salesman was already shaking with excitement, and he remembered the reason why he joined this industry – From a Sewing Needle to a Business Empire

The book introduces a salesman who starts by selling a needle and gets his customers to buy more thread. After all, needle and thread are inseparable.

Then he sold a series of tools including scissors and rulers, and finally even sold a villa!
In this era, no one has ever thought about whether what is said in this book can become a reality, or whether someone is lying.

They just subconsciously think that this is true.

Selling a villa is indeed difficult, but selling a sewing needle does not seem to be a difficult thing.

People are crazy about the things described in the book, and they even think they can become such people. Until they buy unsaleable goods again and again to boost their sales, they begin to reflect: Can they really do it?

But the salesman in front of me seems to have done it. How much does a TV, a boat, a car, and complete camping equipment cost?

He was no longer sure whether it was three thousand yuan or four thousand yuan. The only thing he had to do now was to follow the rhythm of the book as much as possible.

“Sir, I suggest you should add a grill to your list!”

“Just think about it, when spring comes, having a barbecue with your family by the lake, isn’t that very artistic?”

“Yes, we have a grill here too, and it’s the best kind!”

After spending most of the day shopping in the mall, when it came time to pay, he didn’t care at all about the last five digits of the bill and just signed a check and handed it over.

His family looked at him in disbelief, and his wife gave him a kiss.

“It’s like you’ve become a different person!”

On the car ride back, his wife couldn’t help but talk about some changes in Chief Dell in recent months.

In the past, he was always busy with work, and most of the time he would even eat and live in the office, and only go home occasionally.

She had complained to him several times – “We haven’t made out in so long!”

But Director Dell refused to take a few minutes off, citing work as an excuse.

In recent months, he had had more time, and his wife had been a beneficiary, too, even if it was only for a few minutes, but at least it was something, wasn’t it?

Moreover, Director Dell started spending money on his family, which was completely different from his past. These changes were all positive and his family liked them very much.

Director Dale also had a faint smile on his face, “Do you like my new changes?”

“Of course!”, his wife was the first supporter of his new change.

His children are also very supportive, “It would be even better if you could give me more pocket money!”

Director Dale couldn’t help laughing, and the whole family was happy.

The goods in the mall need to be adjusted and delivered, which will take one or two days, so except for some goods that can be taken away directly, they have to wait two days if they want to enjoy them.

Just as Director Dell parked the car, opened the door and prepared to return home with his family, he suddenly heard a car horn behind him.

There were two very short sounds, and you could tell right away that they were trying to attract his attention.

He looked back and saw that three cars had stopped one after another on the side of the road in the community.

He said to his family, “A friend is looking for me, you go back first.”

As he spoke, he turned around, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the car in the middle.

The person sitting in the passenger seat got out of the car and opened the back door for him. He nodded slightly in greeting and got in.

“You can definitely call me.”

His tone wasn’t very happy because today was a day off and it should be a time for him and his family to relax, but Lance’s appearance made him feel a little nervous.

Lance didn’t really care, “I just came back from out of town, and I came to see you right after I got back. You should feel honored!”

If someone had said this before, saying that he should feel honored to meet Lance in the first place, he would have laughed and said that person had shit in his brain.

But now, he didn’t think so, “What’s so urgent?”

Lance signaled the driver to drive and talked as he drove.

“Do you remember what I told you about going to the State Prohibition Committee?”

Director Dale’s heartbeat began to speed up uncontrollably. “Yes, that’s true. We are already operating it.”

Lance shook his head slightly, “It’s too slow, but don’t worry, I’m not here to cause you any trouble.”

“This time when I went to Xinjin City, I got to know several executive members of the Congressional Prohibition Committee, so…”

He turned to look at Director Dale who was sitting at the other end, “You need to get ready. Your appointment will arrive at the latest next week, Executive Committee Member Mr. Dale!”

At this time, Dale’s mouth was dry and he suddenly wanted to kowtow to Lance.
