Chapter 684: Comparison causes harm

Compared to the sharp decline in the quality of life after Boni left the company, the quality of life on Karl's side is constantly improving.

Since Lans raised their commission, Karl has been able to receive about five hundred to six hundred dollars in income every day. It's only been a few days, and he has more than two thousand dollars in his hands, not counting the previous ones.

How good money is, people might not have a concept usually, but at this moment it is displayed vividly.

When people outside are still racking their brains about where to get dinner, the people here at Karl's have already started drinking juice and eating meat.

Being able to eat, being able to let the family eat, and having money to spend, this is heaven!

Isn't the free and loose environment of the Federation exactly what they dream of?

What Boni can't give them, Karl can give them, and they are willing to offer loyalty to Karl!

Just as the little brother from Boni's side approached the door, two companions who were chatting in the past blocked his way, "This place has nothing to do with you anymore; you shouldn't come here."

The little brother looked at the new clothes they had changed into, and also noticed the red and white armband on their left arms.

Brand new woolen soft hats, should be wool tweed trench coats, beautiful and upright suits, and those shiny leather shoes.

Clearly not long ago they were the same mud-legged people, but after just such a period of time, a huge gap seemed to have opened between the two sides.

The little brother regretted it, but deep in his heart, there was more dissatisfaction and resentment toward Boni.

Clearly they could all live so well, how could they be made unable to distinguish even the simplest and most basic things by Boni at that time?

The two former companions looked at him with condescending eyes, making his heart sting faintly, but because of this, he hoped even more to rejoin this group!

"I have something I want to say to Karl."

"Karl?" The guy on the left frowned, "Is the name Karl something you can just call out?"

"For the sake of us knowing each other, if I hear you call him that from your mouth again in the future, I will tear your mouth!"

"Remember, kid, you have to call him 'Mr. Karl'!"

"Do you understand?"

A shocked expression appeared on the little brother's face; although he scolded a few words in his heart, there was more shock!

They are "regularizing", not playing around like in the "Boni era".

This also means they will live better and become more powerful in the future!

What Boni said, he still hasn't seen to this day; what great ideals, what for more people, he hasn't seen any actual results at all.

People who can't afford to eat still can't afford to eat, relying on the relief of Federalists to not starve to death.

People who can't afford clothes didn't stop being covered by ice and snow in the middle of the night and eventually freezing to death because of Boni or that Mr. Hope.

People are still as miserable and sad as in the past; it won't change because someone has grand ideals.

But look at here, their lives have really become better and better!

He lowered his head, his eyes filled with some longing; he also wanted to put on those beautiful leather shoes; walking on the ground must be very comfortable.

He said in a slightly humble tone, "I remember, Mr. Karl!"

"I have something I want to say to Mr. Karl; it's about Boni, and it has to do with Mr. Hope."

The two looked at each other; the person on the left asked him to wait here, and the other person entered the house.

Soon that person came back, "Mr. Karl asked you to go in; remember, be clever; it's not the past anymore!"

The little brother nodded repeatedly; after he pushed open the familiar door, what he saw was a different picture.

This house was not bought by them originally; it was vacant and occupied by them, so the things in the house before, including the furniture, all looked very dilapidated.

But what did he see now?

He saw someone pasting wallpaper; a large carpet had been placed in the living room, there were beautiful sofas, and those young people wearing outfits roughly the same as the two at the door were gathering together to smoke, eat, or chat with the girls in their arms.

The moment he walked in, feeling the softness of the carpet under his feet, a sense of inferiority suddenly grew.

Then the dissatisfaction with Boni became even stronger!

It's all his fault!

Originally they were the same!

He squeezed out some smiles; those people's gazes were all focused on him; the gap in the outfits of the two sides made him feel like a humble clown, "I'm here to find Mr. Karl."

One of them who had a good relationship with him in the past broke the deadlock, "Boss is in the study inside on the second floor."

Boss, a very formal title; the little brother nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, I know."

He walked a little faster, afraid of hearing laughter mocking him from those people's voices.

He ran to the big door in a trot; everything here was undergoing renovation.

This wouldn't be Karl's final office, just one of them, the first one, but he still hoped it would look more luxurious.

He was imitating Lans, in every aspect, although it might just be a clumsy imitation, but he would try hard.

He knocked on the door, and the door was opened quickly; it wasn't opened by Karl, but by another young man he hadn't seen.

The other party opened the door and glanced at him, "Did you bring a weapon?" The little brother shook his head, "I didn't bring anything."

But the other party still simply searched his body before letting him in.

There were a few other people in the room, sitting or standing; Karl was sitting on the chair behind that wide desk, legs crossed, holding a cigar in his hand, and just exhaled a puff of smoke when he saw him come in.

"Haha, look at who this is?"

"My brother, how did you think of coming back to see me? Are you here to mock me?"

Although he said so, his face had another expression; mockery, sarcasm, both were there.

The little brother was even sadder, "I brought news related to Boni and Hope."

Karl curled his lips; he raised his hand, and several young people the little brother hadn't seen stood up and left the room.

In a trance, he didn't seem to be in a place where refugees gathered, but in the territory of some big shot in the legendary Bay Area.

Karl tilted his head slightly, looking very relaxed, "So what news did you bring me?"

If he still had a trace of hesitation before, now seeing everything here, he had no hesitation anymore.

!

"Hope asked Boni to continue to recruit manpower; they plan to make trouble again in a few days, it should be the day before the New Year or New Year's Day."

"And this time they are going to recruit thousands of people!"

Karl's expression changed slightly; he frowned, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, Boss...", he learned from those people outside and called out "Boss"; Karl smiled and didn't correct his mistake.

"This news is indeed very important, but it's not important enough, because if they really intend to recruit many people, I certainly can find out too."

This sentence was not a lie; this is not recruiting three or five people, thirty or fifty people, where there is a chance to keep it secret.

Thousands of people, simply cannot be kept secret.

However, the little brother also had his own views, "But when you know, it might already be impossible to change anything; now they haven't recruited many people yet, and there is still plenty of time to do something."

Karl's expression, which was not very concerned, became solemn; he glanced at this little brother a few more times and nodded, "You have a point."

"Wait outside the door; I'll make a call."

Then, after the little brother left, he dialed Lans's number.

He, who was a bit arrogant just now, suddenly became submissive, "Mr. Lans?"

"There is something I think it is necessary to inform you... Just now a friend, we were together before, later he left with Boni... Yes, that's it."

"Now he is back and told me that Boni and Hope intend to hold another rally, and they want to recruit thousands of people, right around New Year's Day..."

"Yes... He is right here... Okay, I know, okay, okay, goodbye!"

After he hung up the phone, he sat there thinking for a while, then asked someone to call the little brother back in.

"Your news has some value," he didn't hide it, "but what is more valuable is you yourself."

"I want you to go back to Boni's side, to find out more detailed content, what time, what to do, who else is the organizer."

"If there is any special news, pass it back as soon as possible; I know what you want."

"As long as you perform well enough, I will give you what you want."

As he said this, he pulled open the drawer, took out a few one-dollar bills, and placed them on the table, "Here is ten dollars, you take it first; do well, and there will be more."

"I am different from Boni; he always says some useless ideals and future."

"I am much more realistic."

"You work for me, I give you money!"

Looking at the money on the table, the little brother's heart was trembling!

He took the initiative to lower his head and bend over to walk over, picked up the banknotes on the table with both hands, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Boss, I am willing to work for you!"

After the little brother left, Karl gathered that group of people again; these were people he found among the refugees who were relatively ruthless.

The purpose of recruiting these people was that he also needed a group of people who could fight and kill, instead of doing everything himself.

Boni is too idealistic; although there are people who can fight among the people he recruited, there are no people who can kill.

Karl needs to make up for this short board, because he wants to become a big shot!

When people gathered, he looked at these people; their once arrogant faces now only had obedience to him.

The great power of money is just this; it can make people change everything about themselves!

"You always tell me how powerful you are; now there is exactly a task that needs you to do: kill someone!"
