594: Chapter 99: The Beasts Standing in the Dark Actually Crave Light_5 594: Chapter 99: The Beasts Standing in the Dark Actually Crave Light_5 There’s no denying he’s now like crap on Niu Sen’s ass, Gru belongs to the top tier of animals.

He’s actually Niu Sen’s lackey, but he talks as if he were Niu Sen’s ancestor—Niu Sen still has to treat him well.

Niu Sen: You son of a bitch, I wasn’t wrong about you back then, you deserve to die.

“The two prerequisites Jax mentioned, decisiveness and determination, you already have them now, Mr.

Gru.

I wish us luck.”

“So, do you really think those congressmen, Governors, and the Great Commander are cancers?”

“Mr.

Gru, a forty-year-old fool isn’t cute, he’s pitiable.”

“Hahaha, you’re always full of lies, but you make them sound so real every time, Chan.

I feel like killing you.”

Cheng Daqi got up to straighten his pajamas, ready to leave.

“Only the powerless resort to emotion, prefer absolute narrow-minded consistency, you’re not powerless.

Mr.

Gru, as you can see, I came here in my pajamas as soon as your men found me.

This is a token of my sincerity.

You should’ve noticed by now.”

“I haven’t given you a Christmas gift yet.

Why don’t I arrange for two guys to join the LAPD?

After all, letting Temirce people in is sort of like you’re not giving me any credit.”

Cheng Daqi seemed not to hear what Gru was saying and simply pulled open the door, taking deep breaths.

The basement was too stuffy, and it was filled with the smell of smoke.

“No need, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Jax, see Chan out for me.”

“Sure thing, boss.”

—————–

The ride back was in the same old Ford van, but this time a blonde veteran was driving.

Scott glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that Cheng Daqi was still scrolling through short videos.

He hesitated, but eventually spoke up.

“Chan, what the hell happened tonight?”

Riel had already fallen asleep, leaving the two men in the car to have a man-to-man talk.

“There are two kinds of people in this world, for you.

One kind sends you to the battlefield, and the other fights by your side under the rain of bullets and gunfire, your comrades.

You should be able to understand the difference.

Wolf Dracula will become a congressman.

He could become the first kind, but not because he’s a congressman, but because his last name is Dracula.

Cort, becoming the first kind isn’t just about effort.

You need to do a lot of other things, and tonight’s incident is part of those ‘other things.’

Well, that’s all.”

“Do you want to become the bastard that sends me to the battlefield?”

“You can’t say that.

Isn’t your house bought with the money you earned from serving?”

“Yeah, but now it’s occupied by black guys, Chan.

If I stand with you, will I become what I once despised?”

“It’s not that simple.

You still have a lot to work on, Cort.

Don’t be overconfident.”

“I don’t know if doing this is right or wrong.”

“Man, always fretting over right and wrong, worrying about ethics, hesitating, I’ll just ask you one question.

Do you want your ex-wife to regret it?”

“Alright, can we not mention her or that damned house?

I’m already mixed up with you.”

“There’s no right or wrong.

You didn’t know it was wrong when you stepped onto the battlefield; they told you it was right.

They later said it was wrong; they always have a lot to say.”

I won’t bore you with trivial values, the point is what do you want.

The other day I gave you a choice, and ultimately you chose to try to become a congressman.

Today, I’m still willing to give you a chance to choose, do you want to continue?”

“Yes, Chan, I despise that pathetic, mediocre, tragic life.

Instead of a boring life, I’d even rather go back to Afghanistan and face bullets.”

“No worries, you can still catch bullets in politics.

The death rate of America’s Great Commanders is one of the highest among all professions.

There was someone who, while hugging his wife in an open-top car, was given a bullet by a considerate sniper that spared him the pain of feeling it.”

Merle General Diego, he taught all the leaders after him not to ride in open-top cars.”

“Fuck, does this damned country have a future?”

“Of course, it will, but media and propaganda always emphasize that brief pain will eventually bring a brighter tomorrow, which is just to comfort the many disappointed people in this country.

The future won’t be as beautiful, it might be cruel, but it will come, and even in the darkest, most corrupt eras, there are people who live without giving up hope.

Even during the Great Depression, some ascended the throne of wealth.

Buddy, lower your expectations, the future belongs to us.”

“We?

Chan, to be honest, I used to think the difference between people was just luck.

Some have the good luck to be born into a wealthy family, while unlucky ones like me are born into ordinary families.

But having known you all this time, I’ve gradually realized that the difference between people also lies in wisdom.”

“Cort, thanks for the compliment, but wisdom isn’t the only factor, you see, I’m also more handsome than you.”

“Fuck, I’m handsomer!”

“Your wife went with a black guy…”

“Stop it, I’m begging you, just stop!”
