Chapter 32
"When we want democracy and freedom, we should start with the most oppressed. On the issue of workers' rights, I have drawn up a petition that has gathered thousands of signatures. I will present it To MPs. If it works, that's great; but if it fails, we have more chances," Adam said.
Sheehan is not hopeful that filing the petition will be successful.While it was legal to form a guild and send a petition, he was sure the MPs would not accept Adam's petition.Even, contrary to the vision, Adam may be imprisoned by those people on some trumped-up charges.
But if it really reaches this point, things will become easier to handle.As the other party said, danger can provide people with more opportunities.
As night fell, Sean left the factory.After walking out of the factory gate, he saw Medanzuo standing under the gas lamp not far away, looking heroic and majestic in military uniform.A worker walked past the young master, inadvertently patting the crumbs on his clothes.Mei Danzuo turned sideways to avoid them, but after all, he didn't show any disgust.
It seems that this guy has begun to change, not only has no ostentation, but even his arrogance has lost a bit.Sean raised his eyebrows and planned to take a long way to go.It's a pity that Mei Danzuo had already seen him, and walked towards him quickly.
It would be impolite to pretend not to see the other party now.Sean sighed unluckily, and turned to the other side.
Medanzuo led Sean into a relatively quiet street and stood by the wall.Medanzo said softly: "As I told you, you have to restrain yourself. Today, the venerable explorer Mr. Adam submitted a petition to the Parliament, wanting to seek the rights and interests of the workers. 'War Eagle' - Military The controller of the court thought that he had something to do with the crows who had recently incited the public, so his petition was rejected, and even Adam himself was detained. As for the person who signed the petition, he will also be interrogated in the past two days. "
While speaking, Medanzo kept staring at Sean.He also guessed that Adam was related to the crow, so he was worried that the boy in front of him would not be able to bear the blow.He wanted to help the other party when he was excited and sad, or hug him directly to comfort him.But Sean just listened to his story expressionlessly, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
Mei Danzuo once again realized that the other party's maturity and calmness was beyond his imagination, even far better than his own.
"This is a guess made by an idiot." Sean said, "How many people signed that petition?"
Medanzuo's eyes froze, knowing what Sean wanted to say. "No less than five thousand. It is absolutely impossible for 'The Crow' to have so many members."
Shane nodded. "You're not slow to think. This time the council—or the 'War Eagle' family—is going to aim their guns at innocent civilians?"
"In any case, no matter what the crow is going to do, don't participate." Mei Danzuo put aside the worries brought about by his knowledge just now, and concentrated on persuading Sean: "These people always do things very extreme. This is especially true for people at the top end. I can only imagine it getting out of hand.”
Sean started to sneer.He stood in front of Medanzo and stretched out his hands to him. "You also know that the Warhawks are misbehaving. Since you're so worried about me going out to kill and set fire, why don't you arrest me now? You don't even need proof. You're so high up, just say I'm a thug , Someone will immediately respond to you and shoot me dead."
"That's not what I meant!" Medanzuo held Sean's hand and spoke quickly: "You know I can't possibly get you into trouble."
"Meeting you is my biggest trouble." Sean waved away the opponent's hand coldly, leaning against the wall beside him: "You came to me just to persuade me to quit?"
"I just don't want anything to happen to you."
Sean looked up at the night sky helplessly.Medanzuo's innocent appearance really gave him a headache.God knows that he himself has no experience in love, and he can't solve the super difficult problem of "how to deal with an innocent pervert".
Medanzo also wanted to try leaning against the wall; but his upbringing stopped him and made him stand upright. "In this kind of fringe behavior, only the family that controls the military court has the most say, and other members of parliament can only give reference opinions. But personally, I agree with that petition. I learned the violin as a child, If the strings are stretched too tight, it will break and even hurt my eyes. The same goes for the workers, too much pressure will only make them tired and angry."
"I understand. Although I am not as well-educated as you, I understand this truth." Sean sighed softly.When he spoke again, the aggressiveness in his tone disappeared: "You know that I will not be persuaded by you, and you also know that some congressmen are wrong. So, why did you come to me?"
"I have something for you." Medanzo's voice was almost inaudible.He was at war with heaven and man in his heart.He knew that what he was about to do would not cause substantial harm to himself and his family, but he had a premonition that the future situation would become uncontrollable because of his actions.This negative premonition almost suffocated him.But he finally made up his mind and handed the item to Sean.Those were three little silver badges.
Sean was startled to notice that it was the crest of the Warhawk.He knew that this thing was like a passport to Warhawk's house. "This is not a wise move. If we accidentally kill the father and son of the War Eagle family, then you will also be court-martialed."
"The crow will not kill them. This father and son are the heads of the military court. Since Mr. Adam has been handed over to the military court, only they can acquit Mr. Adam." Medanzuo took Sean's hand, Put those three badges in the opponent's hand. "Take it away."
Sean studied the badge in his hand for a while, and then stared into Medanzo's eyes.Now his mood has become complicated: "Do you know what you are doing? Helping the enemy to dismantle yourself?"
"I just don't want you to be caught or implicated. You are cautious, unfortunately, not all your companions are like you; they may implicate you. You are so cold to me, but I can't ignore you. Accept My help, this thing can do you a big favor, and you just need to do something small to repay me afterwards."
Medanzo's tone was sincere. If Sean was emotional enough, then he had already been moved.But Sean's calm and rational mind told him that the reason why Medanzuo helped him was not that simple.
Sean quickly thought of another reason—benefits.As the big merchants join the parliament, the nobles have less and less power, and there will be cooperation or conflict with each other.If the "War Eagle" is hit hard, it may not be unhelpful to the Levin family.What's more, even if the request in that petition is realized, it will not have any impact on the Levin family. After all, their family's main business does not belong to the category of industry.
Thinking of this, Sean no longer struggled.He no longer needed to be grateful to Medanzo, it was enough to be vigilant. "What the hell are you talking about?"
Medanzo shrugged his shoulders. "What you can do. I can assure you, it won't do you any harm."
"Really?" Sean looked at him distrustfully.Such a person may call whipping and stabbing an act of tenderness, and by reasoning, even saying "no harm will be done" may actually bring great humiliation to himself.
"Really." Medanzuo paused for a moment, as if guessing what Sean's doubts were.Soon, his expression became a little embarrassed. "Do you still remember what happened last time? I thought you had taken revenge. And I sincerely hope you forgive..."
"I can see it." Sean was surprised by this non-arrogant speech.He realized that Medanzo was gradually changing, even if it was only a little bit, but it made Medanzo look less annoying than before. "You are indeed sincere enough, but I don't necessarily have to forgive you for that. You are a proud person, but you are willing to restrain yourself in front of me. I am very grateful for that. But I also have self-esteem, and I will not give up because of anyone. Lower it."
God, I've been insulted by this man and now I have to give him lessons.This is so weird.Seeing that Mei Danzuo tried his best to restrain himself but still showed a disappointed expression, Sean secretly sighed.
"It doesn't matter if you stand idly by or even add insult to injury to my difficulties. Originally, I didn't expect anything from you. From the perspective of the family's interests, you 'by the way' help me. In return, as long as your request is not excessive, I will do it for you." You achieved it. But that's all."

The men are arguing.Francis sat in the leader's seat and waited quietly.Sean stood aside and watched coldly.
"...That's the way. Let's rescue Mr. Adam with a mask, and then disperse and go to the outskirts of the city to avoid the limelight." Some people seemed to have reached a conclusion.
Sean felt the need to speak. "That's why you've never been able to mobilize the masses in a big way, right? When the opportunity comes, you don't go head-on and step out into broad daylight, you back off?"
A grumpy guy shook his fist at Sean: "What do you know? How can we take off our masks and walk out into the light of day? The crow might just disappear for being reckless!"
"Just disappear?" Sean repeated, and then said firmly: "Then let it disappear."
In an instant, the men fell silent.They looked at Sean with puzzlement or anger written all over their faces.
"Organizations in the dark are not needed. People need organizations that are in the sun and give them hope. If we hide in the dark forever and only reach out when someone is suffering, that's great It is meaningless to change the overall situation. Let alone other things, are you willing to help civilians while being misunderstood and feared by civilians who don’t know the truth? Don’t you feel annoyed when you see some people still accept it after being helped!”
Sean took a few deep breaths to cool his nearly boiling blood. "Of course the people need an organization that belongs to the brave, but we can't stop there. What the people really need is not the protection of the brave, but to become brave on their own initiative. Don't you understand? This is a good opportunity. Tell the truth Spread the word and get stakeholders to come forward. Maybe the power of crows alone will solve the problem, but now is the time to call for action."
"If we stand out, those nobles will use private troops or other powers to suppress us." Someone whispered.
"Then let them come." Sean said firmly: "At any time, there will be people who want to suppress and eliminate us. As long as we stand up, countless people will stand in our camp. The enemy can destroy more than a hundred people, but You cannot eliminate the thousands and thousands of people who are the foundation of this country."
For a moment the place was silent.Finally Francis spoke first. "Xion, do you know what's interesting? You can take my initiative every time." Francis looked at Xien and said in a flat tone.
Sean looked at Francis silently.He knew that what the other party wanted to say was by no means so simple.He trusts this man.
"What's more interesting..." Francis showed a familiar smile: "I completely agree with your proposition." He stood up and walked among the men: "Mr. Adam will go to court-martial in the morning of the day after tomorrow. Before that, let us take action! For the students, I will find a way. As for you, my brothers, someone is imprisoned for fighting for your rights, and I believe that the lovely workers will not stand idly by."
The leader's words are equivalent to the final word.The men gradually dispersed, discussing in twos and threes what they were going to do.Sean walked quickly to Francis. "I have only one word for you. I..."
Shane paused in astonishment.Francis suddenly hugged him tightly. "Thank you." Sean heard the other party say what he wanted to say, his voice trembling with excitement: "Xion, thank you."
"What's wrong with you?" Sean raised his hand a little funny, and patted the other person's shoulder.This man has always shown a more mature way of doing things than him, so that Sean is a bit out of it now. "When I questioned you, I never thought of questioning you. I know that you are very brave and want to take that crucial step. It's just that you care too much about the brotherhood, and you are restrained in doing things."
"Yes. I should repent for my hesitation. But just now—just now, you let us take that step." Francis let go of Sean, the corners of his eyes were red, and there seemed to be water in his eyes.
When Sean wanted to see more clearly, Francis had turned his head away, looking through the factory window into the night. "Let's do it. We've got a lot to do between now and tomorrow night."
