Blackstone Code

Drago's memorial service was held on the third day of his death because so many people needed to be notified.

The funeral was held at a church in suburban Bupen, with Lynch sitting in the front row.

Many of Nagaril's former ruling class came to the scene. They were all those who immediately fell to the Federation when they "invaded" them.

So they all got good development opportunities, coming from a backward area to the civilized world of the Federation.

Drago was just one of them, and his departure made the group realize that their time was running out.

Everyone is very sentimental and pessimistic.

Drago's eldest son presided over the entire memorial service, and many of Drago's friends went up to speak.

Lynch declined to speak.

At this time, Drago was already in a small jar. People are so fragile sometimes.

So fragile that he needs a small jar to keep him from being blown away by the wind.

He died honorably, which was probably what he wanted and the best outcome.

After the memorial service, Lynch called Serra, hoping to meet her in person.

If it had been earlier, she might not have been able to meet Lin Qi so quickly. During the winter vacation, she and the middle-aged teacher went to travel to the Southern Continent and came back not long ago.

Because the middle-aged teacher needs to go to work, he is unwilling to give up his job. This persistence, which is worthless in the eyes of some people, is one of the reasons for his noble personality.

At least he has his own persistence and ideals, which is great.

In a roadside cafe, Sierra sat by the window. She was wearing this year’s latest spring dress——

Because of the extremely cold weather, spring clothes now tend to be winter clothes rather than summer clothes.

After all, it is impossible to go out in spring clothes that are similar to summer clothes at this time.

Even if designers don't want to, they must respect climate change.

She looked good, which made Lynch feel a little relieved, "Is it fun over there in the Southern Continent?"

Sierra nodded and told some interesting things during the trip, such as seeing some animals that she had never seen before.

Or maybe you tasted the specialties of each region and ate some bugs.

The trip was enjoyable, and the Federation’s worldwide status affords visitors to the Federation a hidden privilege around the world.

For example, in some relatively backward areas, the local government even arranged for police or soldiers to escort them.

Even if they are actually just ordinary tourists, they still feel the pleasure brought by the privilege!

Basically, nothing unpleasant happened.

In addition to all the interesting, positive feedback, there were also some things that happened that Serra didn't expect.

"Civilized people in civilized societies have an indescribable sense of superiority when traveling to backward areas. I know this emotion is incorrect, but it just can't help but come out of my body."

"I look down at those backward humans from a higher perspective. I have read the doctrines of elite humans. I originally didn't understand why they had such thoughts."

"But when I was in the Southern Continent, I had similar thoughts."

"I asked myself, are those humans who look like beasts really just like me and us, and are they really humans in the true sense?"

"I don't know the answer to that question, because when I had that question and questioned whether they were human, I knew I couldn't give myself the answer I wanted."

“It was fun there, but I’m unlikely to go there again!”

Lynch can understand this idea very well, for the people of the Federation, or for the vast majority of people in civilized society.

Human beings refer to the same kind of people who are roughly the same as them and have roughly the same behavioral standards and moral standards.

Rather than those "beasts" who may not even wear clothes, hold up simple tools and compete with animals for the right to survive in the jungle, and are somewhat similar to humans!

This is one of the reasons why there is a market for elite human theory. Looking down from the perspective of those in power, as long as their thoughts are not correct enough, they can only see this.

After a brief chat, Lynch talked about Drago's departure. Of course, Serra didn't know this person, so he appeared as an "old friend" in Lynch's mouth.

Lynch talked about death and his own worries, "I'm a little worried about your health. Have you gone for a checkup recently?"

Sierra had her breasts and ovaries removed, and Lynch wasn't sure whether this was a good or bad move because Sierra still took medication.

Supplement some hormones that cannot be obtained by oneself due to organ removal.

"I'm fine, I've never been better and I go in for a full check-up every six months."

"I treat myself better than you think. You can rest assured about this."

“Since Nell’s unexpected death, I have become very conscious of what being alive means to me.”

"I now exercise every day and have good work and rest habits. The doctor said that my body does not look like that of my age. My body is healthier than my age!"

Saying that, Sierra stood up and asked Lynch to come close to him. She gave Lynch a hug, "I'm glad that you can care about my body. I have to say that I am fine. Thank you for your concern."

After the two sat down separately, Sierra talked about another thing.

"I met a lot of interesting little animals when I went to the Southern Continent this time. Do you still remember your wish when you were twelve years old?"

Twelve years old, very far away, Lynch shook his head. The memories of the past were quietly in the depths of his memory, and were rarely even triggered.

Because after all, that was not the life he had experienced, and he did not have so many feelings and memories of the past.

Sierra showed some nostalgia, "You want to keep a dog, but you know, our family's situation was not very good at that time, and we couldn't afford to keep another small pet."

She paused for a moment as she spoke. It can't be said that the life they had in the past was bad, but it was definitely not a matter of a cent to reconcile.

Nel's salary is not high, and Sabine itself is not a high-income city.

The burden of life for a family of three falls on this man, and he sometimes needs a drink to vent his stress, so they can't spend more money to raise a dog.

In fact, it’s not that it’s completely unaffordable, but obviously people are more important than raising a dog.

Only then did Lin Qi vaguely find the memory of wanting to get a dog when he was twelve years old. He nodded, "That's it. What's wrong?"

"Do you want a dog?"

Sierra shook her head, "I plan to open a zoo. When I was in the Southern Continent, I spent more time with animals than people. I really like the feeling those gentle animals bring me, which makes me closer to nature. .”

Lynch thought for a while and said, "I'll open a zoo for you in the north of the city. When you have nothing to do, you can experience what it's like to be a keeper."

"Thank you for everything you've done for me, Lynch." Sierra shook Lynch's hand.

Opening a zoo may be just a childhood dream for many people, but for wealthy people, it is a simple and small thing.

Sierra also had enough money to open one. She originally planned to open a small zoo, but she was not sure where to choose a location.

Drago's death and middle age made Lynch want to do something for Cerrado. Open a zoo that doesn't cost much, including buying the animals.

As long as he spreads the word, some people are willing to provide him with various rare animals for free.

"It is said on TV not to let down your youth. I feel that in addition to our youth, we should not let down the time when our families are still here..."

The impact of Drago's death on Lynch is slowly dissipating. Although the mayor of Bupen is a little confused that Lynch suddenly wants to take over a piece of vacant land in the northern suburbs to open a private zoo.

But rich people always have some hobbies that ordinary people can't understand. They just open a zoo, which is not too bizarre.

The mayor chose a good piece of land and gave it to Lynch, who then handed over the matter to people from Blackstone Capital.

For Lynch, who doesn't care how much money he spends, these are small things.

After entering April, the weather has finally warmed up significantly, and the temperature in Bupen has returned to around ten degrees. Although it is still a bit cold, the cold wind blowing on the body no longer has the bone-chilling chill.

It's just because the low-temperature wind makes the skin cold.

In such a spring when life begins to bloom, the World Development Council suddenly issued an invitation to the "World Banking Summit" to central banks and banks with international settlement businesses around the world.

Lynch also received an invitation letter inviting him to attend the summit.

But he gave the invitation to Vera and he was too lazy to run.

Before the conference even started, he roughly knew the content of the conference, which was nothing more than discussing current international currency and international settlement issues.

Then I want to find some effective ways to quickly solve the problem, which is the International Banking Union.

The Federal Reserve was also invited, but they were too busy preparing for an antitrust lawsuit against prosecutors to attend a summit hosted by a group of second-tier banks.

After more than two months of fermentation, the Federal Prosecutor's Office began to formally file a case on the monopoly issue.

This is also a standard federal process. Although the whistleblower is anonymous, but the whistleblower provides enough materials, federal justice must begin the process.

Moreover, this case has been mentioned in the media, and almost everyone knows about it. If the case is not filed, the public will not be able to explain it.

Although the gentlemen have never looked directly at these people at the bottom, they still need the support of public opinion.

Many people interested in the case are talking about possible outcomes, but most don't think the Federal Reserve will collapse.

Because it's so huge!

It has enough resources and the federal government to drag this lawsuit until decades later, or even to the day when there will never be a result...
