Darkstone Code-Chapter 800 - 798: Do You Believe in Light?

In the minimalist and high-end villa, Akumal sat on that seemingly inconspicuous but actually very expensive sofa, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

The best way for a person to develop confidence is to gain recognition from others.

No matter what you do, if others encourage you and affirm your results, it’s enough to help you develop confidence like "I can definitely do it" or "Nothing is difficult for me, as long as I try seriously."

But if someone always gives the worst evaluation of your actions, constantly criticizing your approach and denying your achievements, then you will become less confident and always feel that you can’t do well.

A string of heartfelt speeches by Akumal received unprecedented affirmation from Lynch, and he also gained strong confidence, feeling that he could do this well.

This will surely lead the people of Nagariel towards change, even if it starts with a little bit of passion, eventually these passions will connect and become a power to change the world!

"You need to study more, delve deeper into learning, Akumal," Lynch was willing to offer more hints to the peace envoy in this regard, "I can give you more time to stay in the Federation, read the books you want to read, and even if you want to visit someone, you can directly tell me, and I will arrange it for you."

"Your thoughts are important to you, to the people of Nagariel, and even to us!"

Lynch sipped a small mouthful of coffee, looking up at Akumal, "No one has ever hoped for war and death, you and I both know that beneath the calm surface of Nagariel there are hidden dangerous factors right now."

"I have requested many times from the United Development Company to reduce the possibility of conflict, I can try my best to restrain the Federation people, but there must be someone to stand up and restrain the behavior of the Nagariel people, helping them embark on the right path."

"You bear a significant mission, this might be the only reason you came to this chaotic world."

"If one day, the people of Nagariel wake up completely from the bottom up, I am willing to be a bridge between the Nagariel and Federation people, seeking appropriate and suitable solutions for all of us."

Lynch didn’t specify what solutions, nor what these solutions should solve, but both knew clearly.

Currently, the actions of the Federation people in Nagariel are in fact no different from invasion, if there is any difference between it and Gafura, and the previous Pretton Trading Company, it’s that the Federation people’s invasion is slightly more acceptable.

No war, no deaths, no oppression, exploitation, and slavery, instead, because of the Federation people’s invasion, everyone’s life has gotten a little better, which is a joke and also a miracle.

The invaders are like celestial envoys who paved a stairway to the Celestial Kingdom for them, each Nagariel person steps on the steps of happiness...

However, no matter how happy they are, they are ultimately the invaded party, there may not be any conflicts now, but what about the future?

Sooner or later the current relationship between the two parties will disappear, and how will we face these problems then?

Akumal immediately felt the heavy burden of responsibility on his shoulders, he nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Mr. Lynch!"

His words of gratitude seemed a bit unfinished, as if there was something more to say... not said.

Lynch did not speak, just looked at him, encouraging him with the light in his eyes.

As if feeling Lynch’s gentle gaze, he hesitated for a few seconds, before quietly asking, "Why, Mr. Lynch, can you tell me why this is?"

"You are a man of the Federation, according to my understanding, you should stand on the side of the Federation people, but your actions seem more inclined towards us..."

Lynch raised his hand with a smile, stopping Akumal from continuing, "Do you find it unbelievable?"

"An invader would sympathize with the invaded, and even find ways to offer you redemption?"

Akumal nodded, "Yes, Mr. Lynch, I don’t understand it at all, nor can I figure it out."

Lynch’s smile was somewhat dazzling, "Because I am a lover of life!"

"Akumal, there are many ways to make money, we don’t need to lose our humanity for money, breaking our moral bottom line."

"Compared to making money, I prefer being a person, this might be the reason I want to help you."

"Everyone has their own limits, and this is mine, making clean money, then being a real person, not a devil in human skin!"

At this moment, Akumal was deeply shaken by Lynch’s speech, he even mentally pictured a scene—

A small rabbit looked hopelessly at a nearby lion, asking why it doesn’t eat him.

The lion told the rabbit, "I love life, so I don’t kill..."

The kind of shock from the depths of the soul of species is indescribable with words, the shivers from the soul gave Akumal goosebumps!

His lips began to tremble, "Mr. Lynch... Mr. Lynch, your great and noble character is incredibly admirable, I think I understand."

"For a better life, peace, and future, I will try my best!"

Lynch extended his hand, smiling as he shook Akumal’s hand, "Let’s work hard together!"

Akumal quickly stood up, piously holding Lynch’s hands gently, as if holding the sun in winter, "Yes, let’s work hard together for this day!"

After discussing the main matters, Lynch and Akumal chatted about his experiences in other areas during this period.

Overall, Akumal has a strong yearning for the Federation’s society. This longing is not merely for a wealthy life, but for the peace here.

Perhaps some people have lost their jobs, and maybe some are troubled by certain issues, but most people are living in a stable state.

Everyone loves life and has a smile on their face. You won’t find people with numb expressions or hollow eyes here.

Even the homeless in the parks have eyes shining with light.

Such an enviable social state, perhaps in Akumal’s eyes, is the most perfect society.

Freedom, equality, judicial fairness, restrained power—everything is beautiful!

After chatting, Lynch asked someone to send Akumal back. When the Senior Soldier came to tidy up, he was a bit puzzled.

"Boss, is this guy very important?"

Lynch glanced at him, and the Senior Soldier immediately added, "If he is important, I’ll arrange for two more people to guard him. Nagalil people are not very welcome in the country now..."

The Senior Soldier left some words unsaid. Ever since the United Development Company took over Nagariel, many factories have quietly relocated there from the domestic front.

The land there is cheap, and the cost of water and electricity is very low. More importantly, the labor is almost free, which has led to a very bad attitude towards Nagalil people from many unemployed people in the country.

Nagariel is near the Equator, and their skin color is darker than that of Federation people, which is a very prominent feature.

This year alone, there have been about sixty to seventy security incidents involving attacks on Nagalil people nationwide. Of course, about half of these involved wrong targets.

People always think that Nagalil people took away their job opportunities. If this little guy is important, the Senior Soldier will arrange more people to protect him to prevent him from being beaten.

Lynch thought for a moment and nodded, "Then just arrange a little more manpower..." he said as he looked the Senior Soldier up and down, making him a bit uneasy.

"Is something wrong with me, boss?"

Lynch’s gaze is not something an average person can withstand. It possesses a kind of magical power, not an aggressive look, yet always makes people increasingly uneasy.

He shook his head, "Nothing, didn’t you tell me last time you planned to transition into administration?"

"Maybe I’ll arrange that for you before I leave this time."

The Senior Soldier’s expression became somewhat interesting upon hearing this, both happy and hesitant.

He is already in his thirties. It’s not that he can’t ensure Lynch’s safety anymore, but he needs to consider the future.

He can’t stay by Lynch’s side forever, and with the birth of children in his family, he needs to think more about his children.

In general, he has passed the age of risking his life and it is time to consider a retreat path.

He had mentioned this to Lynch before, and at that time Lynch agreed but didn’t approve it immediately.

Mainly because there was a lack of competent people around, but now the company is becoming increasingly organized, and others can protect him well or follow his arrangements, so the Senior Soldier can transition into administration.

The management of Darkstone Security is not very large, only about a dozen people, and these civilian positions actually all come from the Ministry of Defense!

They claim to be veterans or can produce an impressive resume, but Lynch knows they are all from the Ministry of Defense.

The creation of Darkstone Security involves many factors. The Military needs such a window to look at the outside world, and Lynch doesn’t mind transferring control to people arranged by the Ministry of Defense, which is why Darkstone Security has expanded almost without limits.

A few thousand armed forces, something unprecedented in history!

To say it’s Lynch’s company is less accurate than saying Darkstone Security is a joint venture between Lynch, the Ministry of Defense, and the Military.

The Ministry of Defense provides intelligence and management, the Military provides manpower, and Lynch provides funding.

Currently, the cooperation is going well, but such a situation cannot last forever. Although Darkstone Security can maintain a financial balance so far, this is ultimately not a permanent solution.

It is necessary to gradually insert Lynch’s people into the management, without affecting the attitudes of the Ministry of Defense and the Military.

Then the promotion of some old employees won’t be an issue.

"List the names of those who want to transition into administration and tell me, but these people must be our first batch of employees. There must be a first-come, first-served principle, right?"
