Shadow Empire

Chapter 84 Home and Family [Monthly Ticket 666+1]
The smiles disappeared from the faces of these young people, replaced by many complicated expressions.

Some had fierce eyes, some showed some pity, and some were just full of curiosity.

Because of their different levels of participation, they will have different positions, views, and opinions on the execution.

Hiram stood up at this time, "This is my problem, I need to apologize to everyone."

Lance didn't stop him, this time.

Hiram gave a brief account of what had happened, as some people didn't quite understand the details.

They worked for someone else, but because they were illegal immigrants, these people refused to pay them and threatened to leave.

Lance helped them call their manager, but the other party not only refused to communicate but also cursed at them, so Lance decided to teach them a lesson.

So they planned to transport the wine in the warehouse, and in fact they succeeded, but some people did not want to join the big family and left with the money.

In fact, when hearing this, some neutral people began to lean towards Lance. It’s not that they didn’t stand on Lance’s side at the beginning, but they were a little skeptical about the idea of ​​"executing a person who made a mistake", wondering if it was too harsh.

Because no one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes, but at this time, they already have a general idea of ​​the specific situation and realize the seriousness of the matter.

Especially when they heard that Lance paid these people their wages according to his rules, and that Alvin and others were willing to deposit the extra money into the company account, the impact of "I am also a beneficiary, and my interests have also been harmed" began to really guide their thinking.

They feel that they are one with Lance, a family!

And Lance's action of letting Jason leave with the money completely dispelled the last bit of dissatisfaction that might have existed in people's hearts.

He is a man of his words, and that is enough.

The subsequent development of the matter is even simpler. If someone comes to investigate Jason, and if Jason is caught first, and he can't bear it and confesses something, then everyone here will be doomed!

By this time there were no more problems, and Alvin had already brought the oil barrel back. Alberto didn't ask what Lance wanted the barrel for.

Aside from being used to hold gasoline, its only use is to be dumped into Angel Lake.

It is said that manufacturers of oil drums have now begun to paint the drums with waterproof paint, with the aim of allowing them to stay at the bottom of the lake for a longer time without being corroded by the lake water.

This place is right by the sea, and the lake water is also corrosive to a certain extent.

Lance led people into the warehouse. When the sleepy Jason saw so many people coming in, he was shocked at first, but he soon realized something and began to beg for mercy.

"Mr. Lance, Mr. Lance, please spare me, I don't want to die!"

"I didn't do anything to hurt you. No one knows that you are behind this. As long as I leave, no one will know!"

"I'm still young, I have parents to support, and there are still many things I haven't done yet. Lance, please, let me go!"

He saw that Lance had not wavered at all, and those eyes were watching him. The pressure of death was getting higher and higher, and he realized that begging for mercy was useless.

After a brief silence, he tried to jump up and kick Lance, but he obviously couldn't do it, so he could only swing his legs in place like a clown.

"You son of a bitch, you're just a despicable villain. Who are you to decide whether I should die or not?"

"You're not a judge, you're just a robber. There's no difference between you and me!"

"You can kill me today, but someone else will come to kill you tomorrow. We are all the same. One day you will be killed by someone like this, Lance. I promise you!"

"You will die more miserably than me!" He used up all his strength and stopped moving, but kept cursing.

Hiram whispered something to Lance, and with Lance's consent, he used a piece of cloth and a rag to make Jason speechless.

He had tried everything, and now he seemed to have accepted his fate and was left hanging there.

Erwin spread the tarp over the ground to make sure the blood wouldn't splatter on the ground, then stood aside.

Lance picked up the pistol and took a few steps forward. "Jason, I will send your money to your family in batches. They will know that you are living well in the Federation."

"As for what you said about me dying, I don't deny it."

"Everyone dies, Jason, but whether the death is meaningful is important to us."

"Whether I died in pursuit of my dreams or in the responsibility of protecting my family, it is meaningful to me."

"People will talk about this in their idle chats in the future, ah, there was once a Lance in Jingang City, who did some spectacular things."

"Even if I am like a meteor streaking across the night sky, at least I once illuminated this era for a moment!" The young people behind Lance felt their blood boiling when they heard these seemingly calm words!
He raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Jason's forehead. Jason, who was still cursing, became limp again, and even his crotch was dripping with water; he had peed.

"Leave like a man and leave us a better impression."

"Also, don't be disobedient in your next life."

But it seemed he couldn't do it, Lance shook his head and pulled the trigger.

The bullet penetrated Jason's head, and blood splattered over a large area. The two girls screamed, but the screams soon stopped.

Erwin walked over to Lance, took the weapon from him, and shot Jason in the chest again with an expressionless face.

Then Ethan, Morris, Ennio, Mello, and even the two girls finally picked up the pistol and gave Jason a bullet under the watchful eyes of the people!
Looking at Jason who was beaten into a sieve, Lance breathed a sigh of relief, "We are family. I will fight anyone to protect you!"

……

"I think we should pour some cement first, otherwise he will be pressed at the bottom, and if the oil barrel breaks, some parts may float up."

Seeing that they were going to throw Jason directly in, Lance raised some objections. Erwin, who was wearing a raincoat, was stunned for a moment, "You make sense, Ethan, pour some cement first!"

Lance placed two wooden boards at the bottom to prevent Jason from sinking to the bottom. Ethan pushed the cart over and poured some cement in it. Then they threw Jason in and filled it up.

The weather in the summer is extremely hot, and the outermost layer will solidify overnight. Moreover, the lid of this oil drum is very strong and tight.

It consisted of a section of rubber and several mechanical buckles, but Lance told them not to put them on yet.

Everyone was feeling a little heavy at night, but this is a process that everyone has gone through, and some things still have a big impact on them.

Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Lance decided to say something that would cheer people up.

"We have been talking about the issue of company accounts. Many people may not understand what this account is used for. Since everyone is here today, I will briefly talk about it."

"For example, the money for our new clothes this time will be deducted from the company account. I plan to make it a routine."

"Every year we have three spring and summer sets, two fall and winter sets and one winter set."

"Besides that, I also plan to buy some houses. There are more and more of us now, and we can't all sleep in the living room and corridor. After all, we have ladies here."

"Whether you rent or buy a house, the money will come from the company's account, and you don't need to bear any responsibility."

"From now on, all the expenses for your injuries will be paid from the company account."

"The vast majority of expenses are borne by the company, and you don't need to bear this part of the cost."

"I know some people will feel it's unfair. Why am I fighting in the front, but someone else is enjoying the same thing as me?"

"But like we said, we are a big family, a family. You won't care whether your parents gave your brother more or less than you. You will find that we may not have any blood connection, but our hearts are always together..."

The next morning, the cement in the oil barrel had solidified a little. Lance had someone close the lid, lock it, and push it onto the truck.

After a night of thinking, Lance believed that most people had "awakened", so they could all smile today.

The scenery of Angel Lake is really beautiful!
There is a blue lake hidden in the lush forest. Sometimes when you stand by the lake, you can't tell whether it is the lake or the sky in front of you.

It was quiet and fresh, and the sunlight seemed less dazzling. As everyone watched, the oil barrel containing Jason and everyone's determination was thrown into Angel Lake.

Lance laughed and said, "The experts certainly don't know that we also contributed to the rise of the lake this year."

A hell of a joke that only Jason could understand.

Next is camping and barbecue. After all, eating meat is the happiest thing for young people. Big chunks of meat are grilled on charcoal fire, and the aroma is irresistible!
The boys even took off their clothes and went swimming in the lake. In fact, they had already forgotten that Jason was at the bottom of the lake. As for whether he would become another Jason, Lance did not have any psychological pressure.

The two girls became lively again. They even prepared their swimsuits, and the group of boys who saw them whistled.

Sitting on a small earthen slope, the wind blew wrinkles on the surface of the lake, and the sparkling water reflected the scorching sunlight, illuminating the smiles on people's faces.

It lasted until the evening, when everyone packed up and left.

They took everything with them, leaving only their worries behind, and sank deep into the bottom of Angel Lake along with Jason.
