Blackstone Code

Severella and Catherine were among the very few in the room who could take this terrible situation in stride.

At least that's how it seems on the surface.

Lynch smiled and did not respond, but introduced Severella to everyone.

A better woman, an idol for young women in the Federation, and a benchmark for female entrepreneurs!

This is also the only woman who makes Catherine feel pressured.

Severella's personal conditions are very good. She is beautiful, has a good figure, and has a good personality.

He has rich entrepreneurial experience, successful entrepreneurial experience, and owns his own business empire, although it has now been packaged and sold.

She also has an excellent family background, both her father and mother are from prominent families.

When she was still in her twenties, there was a saying circulating in the Federation.

If anyone can marry Severella, then he will directly stand at the end of his life!

This is a woman with no flaws from top to bottom, right down to her toes. Catherine once felt that she would become her formidable enemy, the kind that she could not defeat!

Severella also focused mainly on Catherine. Everyone knew that she was the most important part of Lynch's life, a part that no one could replace.

When anyone talks about Lynch's love life and the partners he may choose, Catherine will always be the first and most important character to appear.

No one, including Lynch himself, denies this.

The two people looking at each other made the temperature in the room seem to rise a lot. Just when Sierra felt that the air was about to be ignited, the two children's polite greetings broke the heavy atmosphere!

The older one took the younger one's hand and greeted Lynch first.

They called Lynch "Mr. Lynch," then "Ms. Sierra," and finally "Aunt Catela."

The older one also took the initiative to ask how to address the others, and by the way, he pressed his brother's head and saluted Sera.

His actions and appearance made Sera's whole body almost melt!

No one can resist such a cute and sensible child, who looks like a little adult and is so good-looking!

When these two little guys are compared with Adam, Adam is far behind.

Adam looked at the two children who were younger than him curiously. He had not yet realized how special the relationship between these two people was with him. He probably just thought that the two of them were good-looking and polite.

The one who really has some negative emotions is Momo.

She felt that her child was being compared.

But this is something that can't be helped.

No matter how successful she is, she can't change the gap between her children and Severella's children, and this gap will get bigger, not smaller.

This has nothing to do with whether she works hard or not, and it has nothing to do with Adam himself working hard or not.

When Severella's two children began to have frequent contact with the upper class since they were young, the big shots who only appeared on TV would greet and talk to them in a friendly and equal manner.

Their knowledge, understanding, and acceptance of the world have reached a level that children from poor families will never be able to achieve in their lives!

They can talk to the President in a relatively equal environment, but Adam may not know what to say when facing the President.

This gap will not start to shrink due to hard work until it is finally invisible. It will always be there and get bigger and bigger.

Hard work is actually the most meaningless thing in the world!

Because only when you work hard to the extreme will you find that your efforts are of no help to your dreams!

You work hard, but you can't achieve financial freedom.

You try to love life, but life may not love you.

You study hard, but in the end you can only get the opportunity to work for those who are not as good at studying as you.

You try so hard to transcend classes, but in the end you are still just a clown...

But life cannot lack hard work. At least hard work can make people accept their own ordinaryness and then be full of dreams for the future.

Is this the contradiction and miracle of human society?

No, this is the wisdom of the ruling class!

"Is there anyone else?", Sierra looked at Lynch, and Lynch shook his head, which made Sierra breathe a sigh of relief...

Soon the family was sitting at the dining table, and there was no one else around Lynch but himself.

It's not suitable for anyone to sit there, so let him be alone!

"Thank you all for coming. To be honest, I didn't have much thought about this year's birthday, but I have had some changes in my thinking in the past two years."

"My family has a more important place in my heart, although I still don't like liveliness and children that much."

"Sela doesn't know that I actually have a child..."

Sierra nodded, "I still don't think this is a surprise!"

Lynch seemed very indifferent, "So there is an opportunity today. You are all free, and we can sit down and chat."

"In a way, we're a family, a logging team."

"We all have a special close relationship by blood, which makes us inherently have more relationships than others, non-profit relationships..."

Catherine shrugged her shoulders and interrupted Lynch, "Sorry, it seems like I'm the only outsider here."

"When you are talking, should I avoid it first?"

Lynch couldn't help laughing and said, "You are in my soul, we have been a family for a long time!"

There was a smile on Catherine's lips that she couldn't hide, and she raised her eyebrows, "Should I say 'It's my honor'?"

"If that's what you wish to put it, of course I have no problem with it, Councilor Catherine!"

The dialogue is very relaxed. Although it seems a bit sharp, it is actually not at all. The atmosphere is still very harmonious.

He said and looked at Sierra, "There is nothing more important than spending an important day together as a family, what do you think?"

Sierra also calmed down at this time, "I need some time to accept this fact, but you are right, this is very important to us."

"For a family?" Lynch raised the script in his hand.

“For the family!”

After drinking a little wine, everyone's nerves relaxed and they started chatting about some topics they knew or didn't know.

When with Lynch, or with some upper-class people, the topics that people are most interested in are always those higher-level gossips.

Human beings' snooping and enthusiasm for these private messages have always been hidden deep in their genes, which is why the sales of those third-rate tabloids are so good.

The desire to peek into the privacy of high society makes people want to stop, even if they can't tell the truth from the lie.

As we chatted, the topic inevitably turned to the terrible issues that were happening.

"Recently I read a report that crop production is declining on a large scale, and food pressure around the world is increasing rapidly. Some people believe that our current food reserves and output will not last until we enter the evacuation shelter. !”

The concerns of older teachers are always so pragmatic. Compared with other people's concerns such as "What entertainment activities are there in the shelter?" "Does the shelter need to pay taxes?" "Does the shelter need to work?" The issues he cares about have a more direct impact on this society.

Lynch did not deny it, "The food problem is actually not too big, judging from the current situation."

"Agricultural science has been studying cold-resistant crops and has achieved certain results. The federal government does not base all its hopes on soilless cultivation technology."

"In the end, it cannot afford to feed the entire human race, so the core is still placed on the outside world."

"Currently, we have been able to identify the results that can be produced. It can survive in weather of minus 10 degrees Celsius, and the yield is relatively low."

"But this is actually not a problem. By that time, the world's population will have declined by more than half. We don't have that much food gap, and we should be able to meet the needs of shelters."

"Actually, the real trouble lies in the development of science and technology, especially in industry. We need space and resources, which are difficult to solve."

"Once all the resources stored in the shelter are exhausted, scientific progress will come to a standstill. This is the most troublesome thing!"

The elderly teacher did not know so many inside stories. When he heard that the food problem was being solved, he breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as people are alive, there is always hope..."

After dinner, Lynch gave everyone a suggestion.

It would be best for everyone except Catherine to quit their current jobs and go out for a walk.

Because this is their last chance.

In the next three years, the temperature will drop significantly, and many places will no longer be accessible. This may be the last time they can freely enjoy natural landscapes around the world.

Everyone was very moved by Lynch's suggestion. It was a good suggestion.

We talked a lot, and Sierra was in good spirits and cheerfulness. She suddenly had three grandchildren and she was not so anxious to go home.

The family sat together, watching TV and chatting, which was very warm.

This warm environment lasted until after ten o'clock. Considering that everyone had their own things to do the next day, they all went back, and Catherine stayed.

Tonight's dinner gave her a lot to think about. After taking a bath, she stroked Lynch's chin while lying on the bed.

The stubble that emerged was a bit annoying, but it was strangely comfortable.

"I want a child too.", she said.

"If I don't want it now, I won't have a chance in the future. I'm going to be forty years old, Lynch..."

Lynch looked at the time and saw that it was just past twelve o'clock. He decided to respond to Catherine's request with practical actions.

At this time, a large number of federal troops and Blackstone Security's field operations began to enter Marillo.

The Marillo Security Law began to be officially implemented. In just a few minutes, the silent night sky was awakened by the sound of gunshots...
