People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 413 What I Want to Do

Markowitz thought for a long time, then shook his head slowly but firmly.

There was a complex emotion in his tone as he said:

“His name was Charney, and to be honest, to this day I don’t understand why he picked me.

In my first encounter with him, I was afraid of him. He made me feel cold all over as if I was entangled by a poisonous snake. I knew that he could pay any price at any time to accomplish something...including himself. "

The Doctor: "That doesn't sound like a very good first meeting."

Hearing this familiar sentence again, Markowitz choked.

Then he fell silent.

The Doctor could openly deny it in front of him and tell him his answer.

But he couldn't, because he hadn't found the answer yet.

There was only one thing he was sure of, he didn't hate Charne.

The doctor lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth under the mask raised slightly:

"Markowitz, don't be confused. We still have a lot of time to slowly find the answer. Of course...

You have to always remember what you want to do and who you want to be.”

"I……"

"No, don't be impatient." The doctor interrupted, "I don't want to hear your answer or explanation now, otherwise in a few days you will suddenly find that you were wrong today. Wouldn't it be very awkward when we meet again?"

Markowitz smiled awkwardly and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The Doctor was pleased with his response.

In fact, he didn't mind listening to what Markowitz was thinking at the moment, but it didn't matter, at least not to the Doctor's goals.

The doctor still maintained his casual tone and said leisurely:

“Markovitz, you said you have always lived in the city, can you introduce this great knight territory to me?

When I first arrived, I found that the city’s attitude towards infected people was quite subtle. People were very resistant to them, but they had to accept their existence. ”

Markowitz nodded without hesitation and started talking...

The nights in the Great Knight Territory were still lively, yet seemed so ordinary.

But many people quietly made different choices than usual.

Lin Guang no longer worried about the mess and came to Bald Martin's bar. The first thing he did when he entered the room was to catch Maria in the bar and teach her a lesson for hiding the truth when she encountered a strong enemy.

Sofia smacked her lips secretly.

She used to have a very domineering personality, but at this moment, she was afraid to offend Lin Guang, so she sat quietly aside and tried to reduce her presence.

Candle Knight sat in the studio reviewing documents for the next day's meeting.

McGee knocked and walked into the room.

He came to inform the Chamber of Commerce of its attitude towards the Knight of Glory, and to convey that the Chamber of Commerce hoped to use some auxiliary means to help the Knight of Candle win in the duel between the Knight of Candle and the Knight of Glory.

The Candle Knight rejected this arrangement without any hesitation.

She thought McGee would persuade her, but to her surprise, McGee nodded without surprise, turned and left, going back to convey her attitude to the Chamber of Commerce.

McGee came quickly and left quickly, and the door closed quietly, as if it had never been opened.

Candle Knight stared at the door in a daze.

She vaguely understood something.

It was Qi Yan who changed the Chamber of Commerce's attitude towards him, but unfortunately, Qi Yan failed to change McGee's attitude.

McGee came specially to explain the arrangements of the Chamber of Commerce to me, which was a kind of stance.

A soft, low sigh echoed in the studio, revealing a hint of disappointment.

At this time, in the hotel where Rhodes Island was staying, Amiya and Furong were standing in front of the doctor's room, holding a stack of information, both a little hesitant.

"The doctor seems to be chatting with an old friend. Should we talk to him about work later?" Furong asked.

Amiya pricked up her ears and eavesdropped, wondering:

"It's a strange voice. The doctor shouldn't have this friend. He's not Mr. Qi Yan, who makes a lot of strange friends wherever he goes."

Furong was about to express her suggestion that eavesdropping was not a good habit, but suddenly she saw Amiya take a half step back and stand obediently in the corner.

The sound of the doctor and another person talking in the room was slowly approaching the door.

Soon, the door was opened.

"Markowitz, we had a really great time today," the doctor said enthusiastically. "It's a pity that you and I both have work to do tomorrow, otherwise I would definitely drink wine and eat barbecue with you and talk all night long."

Markovitz looked more relaxed than he had been in a while, and waved his hand.

"You're too polite, Doctor. We have a long way to go."

"It's easy to talk about."

The doctor smiled happily.

In just one hour, he gained more information than in the previous few days combined.

Li followed the doctor silently with a very strange expression.

She witnessed with her own eyes how Markowitz was led step by step by the doctor, and how the doctor turned the business meeting into a meeting between old friends.

Markowitz was obviously a little drunk by the end, and he had almost no control over his words, just answering whatever the doctor asked.

From the Supervisory Committee to the Chamber of Commerce, from knight competitions to the handling of infected people, it almost revealed what color underwear the big knights and the leaders of major companies wore, and how many mistresses they had.

Markowitz stood at the door and exchanged greetings with the doctor, then declined the doctor's offer to see him off.

He coughed lightly, his expression finally became somewhat serious, and whispered:

"Doctor, although we have had a very enjoyable chat today, there is one thing I still want to ask you for your answer."

The Doctor nodded: "Go ahead."

Markowitz said cryptically:

"If, I mean if, you Rhodes Island didn't have Qi Yan, would you still be so reckless in raising the banner of finding a way out for the infected?"

The Doctor lowered his head and chuckled.

From the conversation just now, Markowitz revealed more than once that the Business Federation was poaching people from Rhode Island, and the target was Qi Yan.

It's no surprise that he has such concerns.

The doctor asked back:

"If, and I mean if, the Business Federation has a strong person like Qi Yan to back them up, will they stop making money and wielding power?"

Markowitz frowned and shook his head.

"will not."

The doctor asked again:

"Is there any difference between Rhode Island and the Business Federation?"

This time Markowitz was obviously a little surprised and blurted out:

"Of course they are different. The philosophy of Rhode Island and the Business Federation are completely different."

"And then?" the doctor continued to ask.

Markowitz became increasingly puzzled.

In his confused eyes, the doctor chuckled and said lightly:

“Different philosophies do not mean one is more noble than another. Organizations whose philosophies are to save lives can be praised, but organizations whose philosophies are to make profits should not be denigrated.

If there is a mistake, it must not be the organization itself that is wrong, but someone within the organization who made the mistake, Markowitz."

"But this... doesn't this idea contradict your current behavior?" Markowitz became more and more confused.

"My behavior?" The doctor smiled meaningfully. "Or what you really want to talk about is Rhodes Island's behavior? Or the behavior of the Glory Knights? Or... Qi Yan's behavior?"

"Aren't you guys together?" Markowitz asked blankly.

"You got one thing wrong, Markowitz."

The doctor raised his finger and pointed at Markowitz's chest, then at himself, and finally at Li, Amiya and others.

Under Markovitz's puzzled gaze, the doctor said slowly:

“We are companions, but we are not bound together. We all have our own paths to take. We can walk together and practice our own ideals.”
