Enjoy the world

When all pride was gone, the only thing left by Berkeley was his grace. He always thought that he was a very graceful person.

But when he heard Charles say that today's meeting had been completely recorded and would be used as a historical document for people to review in the future, Berkeley could no longer care about his final demeanor.

He simply couldn't imagine such a scene! In the future, there will be people in this cultural and historical museum transformed from the Presidential Palace, or in other places in the Kingdom of Kyrgyzstan or even the entire world, just like he watched the propaganda documentary just now, watching his meeting with Charles today and savoring it. Every word and every expression in it.

He knew very well how he behaved today, and how humiliating it was to him?

Berkeley stood up and knocked the chair behind him to the ground, making a loud noise. He didn't bother to help him. He took two steps and held the table with one hand. His eyes were red and he shouted at Xia in a hoarse voice. Er growled: "You can kill me, or even take away everything from me, but you can't humiliate me like this! This is a private conversation that involves human dignity!"

Charles also stood up, holding the table with both hands, lowering his head slightly, staring at Berkeley with a pair of scary big eyes, and said: "There is no personal relationship between us, and this is not a conversation between you and me. business.

Why did I come to see you? It was because you wrote that letter to me that, as the former president of the Kingdom of Kiri, you sent an invitation to me, the new leader, to discuss the future of this country.

Do you still think that this is a private conversation, that this is just between you and me? Is what we have been discussing today your personal issue?

I know you as a person, I know what you are thinking, you think you have lost your dignity. But does the so-called dignity you think you have really exist? It's not that I made you lose it, but that you never really had it!

Since I walked into this room, I have only told the facts and the truth. If this makes you feel offended, then there is no need for me to say sorry, because this is entirely your responsibility..."

Whether the aura exists or not has always been a metaphysical question, or barely a psychological question. But at this moment, any onlookers would feel that Ciel's aura was fully activated, and he actually stared back at Berkeley.

Berkeley's hand left the edge of the table and subconsciously stepped back step by step. He retreated very carefully, kicking his heel on the chair without tripping. He squatted down and lifted the chair up, then sat back to his original position.

Charles just kept staring at him, and then said: "Do you know why I did this? One day in the future, maybe you and I are no longer here, maybe we are still here, but someone has forgotten what happened today.

Maybe they didn't really forget, but just deliberately wanted to confuse the truth. They will summon spirits for you and people like you, and they will stand up and re-write stories just to promote and praise you.

Just like the letter you wrote to me last week, someone will strongly advocate how charming you are and what kind of grace and dignity you have upheld!

They will say, what an outstanding president you are, how clean and upright you are, and everything you do is dedicated to benefiting this country.

They will lament your misfortunes today, and attack me and people like me, declaring what misfortunes we have brought upon you.

There are so many gangsters in this country, so many officials you have appointed, and so many teachers and students at Jili University, there must be a few good people, right? A good person who is open-minded and upright in their eyes!

So they will also ask, what kind of injustice has such a good person endured? What kind of disasters and blows has the liberation of the New Alliance brought to these good people?

They will think that it is me and us who have brought disaster to you. They will miss you and the era you ruled, and even want to restore that era, just because they want to be like you!

But I know very well what kind of suffering we have experienced. An old Mr. Mo once told me that pure suffering is meaningless, it is just suffering, and what we do today is to make the experience of suffering meaningful!

Morrison's plantation was mentioned in the documentary I just showed you. And you still remember the diplomatic note and Morrison's accusation. He complains about the losses he has suffered but ignores the crimes he has committed.

Today you are another Morrison, and I am Aden and Cuihua.

You are not familiar with these two names, nor do you know these two people? Because the length of the documentary just now was too short, there was still a lot of content that could not be introduced.

Last year on Morrison's plantation, we rescued ninety-seven slave workers, including one named Aden. He stayed in the plantation for three years, always looking forward to the hope of being rescued, and thinking of various ways to save himself, even though one arm was broken and he was left disabled, he did not give up.

Isn’t this kind of tenacity noble? In my eyes, he has more dignity than you.

Aden disappeared four years ago. On that day, a local gang recruited workers. In order to survive and support his family, he was put on a truck and taken to Morrison's plantation. He has been lost since then.

The time when Aden was taken away happened to be the day when you returned to Kilili Country from Yin Country. Half a year later, you became the president of Kilili Country.

Aden's wife was named Cuihua. They had three children. After Aden disappeared, the youngest child died. Cuihua never believed that Aden left without saying goodbye...until the New Alliance liberated Port Feso, she finally waited for the rescued Aden.

Both Aden and Cuihua later joined the New Alliance, and their stories were compiled into a stage play by the New Alliance and performed in various liberated areas. The name was "Aden and Cuihua".

Mr. President, who should safeguard the dignity of Aden and Cuihua, you or Morrison? No, no, no, you are the ones who ignore and deprive them of their dignity!

Cuihua is now the women's director of the New Alliance Jinsha Community, while Aden signed up to join the New Alliance Liberation Army, strongly demanding to go to the front line.

However, his left arm was disabled. Although we hired the most skilled healers, he could not be completely cured. Therefore, he was not a combatant. He worked as a civilian staff officer in the army and also served as a translator.

He had learned English before. During the three years on the plantation, he insisted on communicating with other slave workers, always looking for opportunities to escape, and learning various skills that could be learned. Not only did he become proficient in English conversation, but he also learned some Eastern languages. Mandarin…”

Hearing this, Berkeley was suddenly startled. He felt that his right arm and half of his body were numb. There seemed to be an invisible tingling sensation, as if there were many needlepoints sticking in... because he felt the gaze of another person.

There was another person sitting in the room, just beside the two of them, who had been translating Ciel's Dongguan into English in the most straightforward way.

Berkeley had ignored the translator just now and didn't even look at the person. However, he still had an impression that there seemed to be something wrong with the translator's left arm. It had been unnaturally curled up between the waist and abdomen since he entered the door.

Berkeley has already realized that the translator Charles brought today is Aden! He turned his head and looked over, meeting the translator's eyes...

After hearing what Charles just said, Aden's eyes flickered with tears, but the tears did not flow down. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Berkeley, with clear crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

Berkeley couldn't describe what kind of eyes and look they were.

Aden suffered inhuman torture in the Morrison Plantation for nearly three years, leaving him with a lifelong disability. However, he always stayed awake and lived hard, without numbness or giving up. He even learned the Dongguan language.

His eyes at this moment were firm and deep, without any dodge! In fact, he also suppressed all expressions.

But Berkeley felt that there was a sneer deep in his eyes, as if he heard the sneer reverberating in his soul, and the unbearable stinging feeling seemed to be everywhere.

Berkeley only looked at Aden for a moment, and then quickly looked away. But with just this glance, his soul seemed to have been burned, and he had lost all his strength inexplicably.

He broke into a cold sweat and suddenly realized that tonight's conversation had been going on for a long time. He felt a strong urge to urinate, but he could only hold it in.

At this time Aden spoke, his voice and tone were steady and calm, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear a subtle vibrato. Although he had been talking all night, he had been translating for Ciel, and now he finally spoke his own words.

"My surname is Xia, and my name is Xia Yading."

This was the first and last thing he said tonight. He just told Berkeley his name.

However, what Berkeley didn't understand was that this was actually an Eastern Mandarin name that was given to him when he was registering residents in the New Alliance. As for the surname, he chose it himself because Shire's surname was Xia.

After saying this, he stood up and followed Ciel out of the reception room.

Charles had been standing just now. When Aden finished saying this, he turned around and walked out without any extra greetings when saying goodbye.

After the two left, another staff member came in and said to Berkeley: "You can go to the bathroom first, and then I invite you to watch another video learning material. It is a stage play called "Aden and Cuihua" "."

Berkeley didn't go to the bathroom. The look he had just made with Aden made him feel like he couldn't stand up. He had to hold in his urine to finish reading.

This "film" lasts for thirty minutes in total. The first twenty-five minutes are a stage play recorded by the New Alliance, which has been performed at mass rallies across the country.

As for the last five minutes, it is a simple documentary that tells and records the crimes of Morrison Plantation and introduces Aden and Cuihua in reality...

The meeting between Charles and Berkeley ended in this way. Ciel said that the entire conversation will be truthfully recorded for future reference and viewing.

The first batch of "latecomers" did not wait long. On the afternoon of the next day, Yue Gao Le, accompanied by Hua Zhenxing and others, watched the complete record of the meeting in the conference room of Wage Mining.

The video was shot from the side of Charles and Berkeley, and from the opposite side of Aden. It is a completely one-shot shot.

Berkeley apparently didn't notice this camera being filmed, even though it was easy to spot. There was obviously good radio equipment at the meeting site, and everyone's words were recorded clearly.

After everyone finished reading, the sky outside the window turned completely dark, and it was already past dinner time.
