"The Dulin and Timamont families are getting married." Also in the study, the study here seemed to lack a young and lively atmosphere. Heidler was sitting in an easy chair. It was already June, and there was something on his lap. Also covered with a thin blanket.
At his age, it is actually very hard, he cannot enjoy many good things, and his body is extremely fragile. Sometimes Heidler felt that he was suffering simply by living, but he couldn't bear to die. Maybe he thought it would be more comfortable, but it was better to stay alive.
There were two other gentlemen in the room. I thought they were about the same age as Handler. The other one also looked to be in his thirties. They were both Guartes, but the exquisite materials and details of their clothes reflected the master's style. The craftsmanship of the accessories made them look less like Guarts.
With Dulin's help, many wealthy Guarts still don't have the same taste in clothing as they do. Of course, not all Guarts are really country bumpkins and losers, mainly because they can't afford these clothes and accessories.
The dividends brought by betraying the country lasted for decades, which allowed them to always maintain a superior status. They were packaged as ethnic minority upstarts in various fields. In fact, their lives were not as happy as people imagined. . The hostility from others of the same class and their wariness about politics make them live cautiously, fearing that they will be dragged into the abyss due to something that they may not even notice.
They always maintain a neutral attitude in terms of political stance, do not favor any party, and will not talk about other things except business matters. For them, life seems to only consist of money and caution.
Sometimes Heidler felt that he was not as good as the Guarts living in the lower city. At least they could do whatever they wanted, unlike him, who couldn't do anything even remotely sensitive.
There was no response in the dull room. Heidler sighed softly, "This is not a good thing." He looked at the other two, and his slightly cloudy eyes moved slightly, "You should be able to feel it. In recent years, the cabinet has made fewer demands on us!”
Role models should serve as role models, and helping the Guarts is also a requirement of the cabinet. Heidler has been helping the Guarts over the years, such as pulling out some criminal Guarts and providing services to some trapped Guarts. Troubled compatriots were sent free help from lawyers, and jobs were provided to some Guartes who had gone to school.
In fact, there is more than one Handler who is doing this kind of thing, and many people like him are doing this. This is not what they want to do from the bottom of their hearts, but what someone told them to do and they have to do it. Soothing the emotions of these defeated nations and reducing the generation of antagonistic emotions is the meaning and value of their existence.
Some people do not recognize their actions and believe that traitors are traitors and cannot be forgiven, but it is undeniable that some people begin to recognize their actions and accept their help. So there are two extremes within the Guart community, a part that really hates these people, and a part that approves of them.
In the past, Graf was very grateful to Heidler and recognized this big shot. At that time, Graf was sued in court because of a sudden impulsive fight with someone and was sent to prison for assault. It was Heidler who came forward and asked the lawyer to fish him out and end his sentence early. This made Graf very grateful to the old gentleman.
But with the rise of Dulin in recent years, those who once asked them to do this and do that rarely appear, especially in the past two years, they almost no longer appear, and do not give them any requirements or let them do it. Something they don't want to do. Behind all this is the appearance of Du Lin.
Dulin used his unique methods to rise quickly and helped a large number of Guart people live a normal and even wealthy life. Everything Du Lin did would not make the Guart people feel humiliated, at least Du Lin did not. They have betrayed the interests of the country and have not betrayed the Guart dynasty. They are more inclined to feel close to Dulin who comes from the countryside, rather than identifying with people like Heidler.
Having nothing to do means that the value is weakened and useless. This makes Heidler very afraid. The older people get, the more often they fear some things. Will there be a day when they have no value at all? Will the authorities use them for surgery
Heidler has always had the suspicion that Dulin's rise was too fast and led a large number of Guarts to stand up, causing the Guarts to rely less and less on them and they were "unemployed." In fact, Heidler's guess was not wrong at all. Now both the president of the hometown association and his agents have become more adapted to this society than before. If the Guart people have any trouble, they will go to these people instead of Those traitors.
This was not a good phenomenon, and a strong sense of crisis lingered around him. He didn't know that Maggs wanted to legislate for minorities. If he knew, he would be even more frightened. But even so, he felt a huge crisis at this time.
The gentleman who was about the same age sitting opposite Heidler snorted impatiently, "I understand what you said, but is there any way we can change the status quo? It's not that I'm too pessimistic. Today, at this stage, There is nothing we can do." He glanced at Heidler with a mocking look in his eyes, and said in a tone full of complaints, "When you thought Du Lin was a trouble, you should have dealt with him instead of just sitting there. There and a... to watch him grow up and threaten us."
Heidler smiled bitterly and said nothing. In fact, this gentleman was wrong. Heidler really had the intention to kill Dulin. It was just that the Tenel Gold Heist suddenly broke out during that time, and then Dulin was killed in the blink of an eye. Gone. When he heard about Du Lin again, it was already more than half a year later.
At that time, Dulin not only became a wealthy man accepted by society, but also had a certain influence in Ilian. Haidler was keenly aware that Dulin might be related to the gold robbery, which dispelled his innermost feelings. That unknown thought.
Dulin's power has already reached a certain level. Handler is very clear about the ruthlessness of these Guart young people who have risen from the bottom of society. As the chairman of the General Chamber of Commerce, he is also a socialite and a well-known wealthy entrepreneur. , how could it be possible to compete with a group of young people who are not afraid of death? He heard that when the Golden Robbery broke out, more than just one or two people died.
Time has passed, only a few years have passed, and Du Lin has actually grown to the point where he needs to look up to him. It is even more impossible to talk about doing anything to Du Lin. He can only bury this idea deeply in his heart, and no one can Tell.
He was not afraid that others would leak the news and people would misunderstand him, but he was afraid that Du Lin would really believe it and kill him.
The silence continued again. After a while, Heidler said softly, "I am old and don't want to live such a life anymore. At my age, I should spend my old age with peace of mind. I plan to leave the empire."
The other two people were startled and looked at him in surprise. He smiled and said, "I want to immigrate to other countries. There are some small countries in the Eastern Continent with beautiful scenery like paintings. Where do I plan to go!"
The younger man frowned and asked, "Will the higher ups let you leave?"
Handler laughed heartily, "I will leave everything behind and leave with only enough money to live on. I believe they will let me go!"
